[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 ♥

Re: FETCH QUEST PLOTTING!

Your name: Mina
Character name Kainé
Powers and Abilities you want to use: Kainé is skilled with wielding a pair of jagged looking twin swords and has natural enhanced speed and strength because her Gestalt was experimented on with legion blood. She is also very agile and acrobatic.

She is said to exist as neither Shade (shadowy monsters that roam the world), nor human by Grimoire Weiss. Due to being half Shade, she is also able to wield magic an ability as It is not something humans can do.

Some of her attacks are to shoot orbs and general blasts from her aura that look like a mixture of lightning and white magic. She is also able to send arcs of magic along the ground to trip up her enemies.

She can also make a shield of her lightning magic around her. Her magic itself is blue and white, as opposed to the black and red of Grimoire Weiss, her own Shade, and the other Shades (aka
other 'Maso' based magic) .

Another ability of hers is to sustain massive damage and still live even so much as being impaled by a giant spike.

Her body heals fast, but if she were to die completely, Tyrann would gain full control over her body making her go berserk. Only one person has been able to bring her back from this.

Ideas for items, monsters, adventure info: (optional but appreciated!) something similar to the Sealed Verses in Nier. Spells needed to be learned by defeating monsters to use during the curing attempt.

Definitely welcome Kainé's help with quests and with making sure berserker Saya doesn't hurt anyone except those who are there specifically to handle her! I don't think based on the descriptions here that any of those attacks would be enough to defeat Saya in that state but she would definitely be slowed down. Her instant healing is rough for this.

Kainé going berserk is not going to be a thing for this plot, because I'm saying no on Saya killing anyone during the cure attempts. I won't be able to talk her into trying again if she does, and she has to try again so it can work! She's a fragile thing that wouldn't be okay with killing anyone so she can selfishly try not to hibernate.

The spell verses are pretty cool, but I'm hoping to use Seasons-specific magic that can be used and applied by the research center to do DNA manipulation science/magic. For example, like a fungus that only grows in the Silent Mountains that is known to restore a person's mental faculties, or whatever (that's just an example, I'm thinking there will be maybe 4 or 5 things they need to gather from around the Segments). Strong people absolutely required for fetching all the magic pieces!

Cool! Sounds good!
