[Seasons] De-hibernation Plot Brainstorming Post!

[sangreine]

Hey EllipsaFam!

For those not aware, Saya has approximately a year until her 30 year hibernation starts, after which she'll have total amnesia. Obviously, this sucks. She'd like to not do that anymore. That's where you come in! I'll be doing a longer term plot to help get rid of Saya's hibernation-amnesia cycle, which will involve several characters and their powers/abilities as well as several failures before succeeding. The mods have said I can plot out what I want to do so that's what we're doing here. I want to involve as many characters as would like to be involved, so let's plot some shit!

Be aware that anything we plot is subject to mod approval so things might have to get tweaked some.

Here's what I want to do:


Part 1: FETCH QUESTS
I want to do several quests (as many as are interesting and people want to do!) where Saya + whoever all go out and get ~rare magic items~ (which we can make up as long as the mods approve it!) that can be used to help fix her hibernation problem. These should be difficult to get for maximum fun. Here's what I want to know from you:

+ What powers and abilities does your character have that can be used for a cool fetch quest? (ie, can they breathe underwater? Can they enhance the magic inside things? Whatever you think would be fun!)
+ Do you have any ideas for magical things that could stop a hibernation or allow someone to keep their memories that sound sufficiently awesome to find and collect?

Part 2: We're doing MAGIC-SCIENCE, BABY!
Saya will want to involve the Research Center and also anyone who has experience with science or magic to help tweak her body so she has no more need to hibernate. DNA experts and scientists of all kids are welcome, as well as anyone who has powers or abilities that you want to play with! I'm totally open to creativity here. But be aware that there will be at least two failures before success. The Nintendo Three, if you will. If you want to participate in this part your character has to be open to trying again even after there are some Consequences for Saya after attempts which don't work.

+ What Sciencey Stuff your character can do that we could use for this?
+ What materials from either Saya (blood and tissue samples) or from fetch quests would be necessary and/or cool to use for this?

Part 3: MURDER FRIENDS and other consequences
Saya has a berserker mode that she will be worried about activating with the cure attempts. (I haven't decided whether that will happen or not.) ICly she will want Badass people present when they attempt the hibernation fixes, just in case she goes out of control and needs to be contained. These people will need to be prepared to kill her if necessary and she will make that clear.

Failure consequences I am considering:
+ Saya goes to sleep for a short while and wakes up with amnesia, which she recovers from in a couple of days
+ Extreme Bloodthirst for a day or two
+ Weakness and general loss of her abilities for a little bit, which makes her need constant touch
+ MAYBE berserker mode?! Depends what people want to mess with.
+ CLICK HERE to be involved in any of these!!

THANKS FRIENDS! Looking forward to running this plot ♥

Your name: Sceadu
Character name: Emet-Selch
Science-Magic abilities: has spent significant amounts of time heavily involved in high-tech Empires and has had a hand in both of them coming to be the powers they are/were - magitek is more recent, the one further in the past was a little future into the Weird Bioscience but also basically had computers and holographic displays alongside various warmachina. On top of that he's also a ~sorcerer of eld~ and has been noted to be one of the most powerful mages of his era, to the point he. literally recreated a whole city using magic.
Materials from fetch quests you'd need/want/could be cool: Uhhhh I'd be down for it, but also he can literally create things with magic so. It'd have to be something fairly specialized or something he has seen enough to be able to recreate it.
Are you okay with several failed attempts before success: Sure! But he is stubborn as fuck when he wants to be.

[sangreine]

I'm here for this! Can he use magic to like combine things once they're gathered from the Segments, or make something *very similar* to a thing they gathered if the thing itself is used up or doesn't work exactly right and they need a tweak?

[unnecessaryflourishes]

He'd be better at recreating things that have been gathered plus alterations! Like... he wouldn't be able to combine two different metals sight unseen and come up with a perfect alloy? Not with magic anyway. But he does have the technical know how that goes into things like "how to make giant war-machines" as well, if it turns out he needs to do something a little more engineer-y

[sangreine]

Yeah, I mean after they've been gathered and he got to examine them and work with them and all that. Not sight unseen.

[unnecessaryflourishes]

He'd probably need to at least to attempt making what they were looking for first? Creation magic seems to work on "you need to know what you're after" logic - and is canonically requires enough conscious focus that even a moment's slip can change the outcome. A horse becoming a griffin because someone spotted a bird flying over head, for example.

[sangreine]

That makes sense! I mean why would they need anything tweaked or recreated on the first attempt, it would be after the first attempt didn't work that they might need stuff remade and/or changed a little. They'll just use all the gathered McGuffins from the Segments to make an elixir or infusion the first time, then after that fails we could use some help with the creation stuff.

[unnecessaryflourishes]

Sounds good to me! And he can help theorize/science for the first round too.
