Welcome to Gaia! ::

IC Information

Sailor Alastor, Eternal Senshi of Despair is a Deep Space Senshi who has been researching all forms of Chaos in an attempt to destroy the Chaos that has tormented his world for centuries. He knows it would be unwise to attempt to destroy this on his own, so he’s spent a significant amount of time restoring his strength, collecting information, and recruiting anyone who might be able to help him fight it.

He knows he’s running on borrowed time and he cannot afford to put off an attack for much longer. He needs Order characters who can be trusted and who are capable and willing to help him repel and destroy the Chaos before it can corrupt the Core of his world, and him. He’s made his plan, he’s prepared to strike. The Chaos is persistent, he knows it will put up a fight.

They just need to fight harder.

OOC Information

This event is open to Order characters only and will OOCly take place from October 1st - October 23rd. ICly this event will occur the evening of Saturday, October 22nd. Part of this event will run through the shop’s Halloween event, but the event is designed to be fairly easy-going and accommodate players based on their preferred roleplay speed. The plot will be broken into three parts:


• The first part will be an ORP that takes place across ~5 days and will ICly distribute information. This information will also be available in the event information thread when it goes up and participation in this ORP can be handwaved.
  
• The second part of the event will span ~7-10 days; at this point in time players will be divided into small groups for individual RPs (players can either plot to enter together or can be paired up with other players based on their IC skills and RP speed preference; more information about this can be found with the sign up information below).
  
• The third part of the event will span ~5 days and will be a closing ORP.

The event will take place on Alastor’s homeworld as he attempts to destroy the Chaos seed that is corrupting his world.

Alastor himself would only be inviting people he thinks he can trust, either because he’s met them in person, because Cybele has vouched for them, or because the Gallos have vouched for them. He is very protective of his homeworld, but I am open minded to plotting this out or working around this if anyone is interested! Alastor would prefer characters who are second stage or higher, but only because his world is dangerous. However, at the time he attempts to bring everyone to his world, his homeworld will summon any Order character in the vicinity. There is a place for everyone, regardless of rank.

Once his world has brought everyone up, Alastor will assign them somewhere to help; he will be more cautious with where he lets first stage characters and chibis assist, but this is IC direction only, and everyone will have an opportunity to help in a meaningful way.

Deep Space Senshi world purifications do not need to be large scale events, but I wanted to give characters the opportunity to experience this type of Chaos and glean any information from it that might be useful for their own future plots. I would like to work with players to create a meaningful experience where their character has the opportunity to serve a unique role in the story, and would like to plan what type of Chaos interaction would be most impactful for them.

Players will have the opportunity to do more roleplays if they like, and more information about this will be available when the event starts on the 1st, but participants are guaranteed a minimum of two roleplays (if they choose to participate in the ORPs) and one battle. Both ORPs are optional but the battle will require players to do their best to tag within the parameters of their chosen RP speed.

Alastor is also available for roleplays to meet and interact prior to the event if anyone is interested; my plot thread with information is here. Meeting Alastor is not a requirement to be involved in the event, but meetings can also be handwaved if players would like a connection before the event; anyone interested in this just needs to message me so we can plot things out!

Event RPs

• The Plan [ORP]
  
  The world of Alastor has drawn all willing Order characters to help fight the Chaos. Sailor Alastor has explained that the Chaos comes in the form of haunting shadows, capable of manipulating and calling its target into the darkness. The Chaos presents as illusions, and will try to weaken their targets so it can swallow them and their power up. Alastor warns that this will be dangerous and those unwilling to embark on the task can leave; those that remain are given flood lights to help chase away the shadows and organized into groups to protect the Hall of the Ancients, and the Core of his world, while defending against the Chaos.

  After a difficult confrontation, the world has been freed from the grips of Chaos. Sailor Alastor expresses gratitude for all that assisted him, and promises to repay that debt should anyone need it. He gifts those who helped him with an Alastsorian candle to help them chase away their own darkness.

Chaos Manifestations appear as completely realistic illusions based off of something or someone in their target’s heart. The Chaos cannot see everything in a person’s heart, but it can replicate the image of someone important to their target and use a few key memories to try and impersonate them. Their goal is to win over their target and convince them to join it–or, at the very least, stop fighting and go home; if that fails, they will attempt to distract them to keep them from fighting, and in a worst case scenario (or when it realizes the target cannot be one over) it will attack.

The Chaos is unnaturally convincing, mostly because as long as it is manifesting, the chaotic energy can be disorienting and make it feel a bit like the target is walking in a dream. The Chaos is part of a shadow cluster; it is not necessarily sentient itself, it is merely mimicking what it is exposed to. It uses this ability to try and draw people into the darkness, where it can absorb their strength. It will attempt to distract targets and get their guard down so it can suck them into the darkness and absorb them. However, with so many powered enemies in the area, it is very difficult. The Chaos manifestation’s ultimate goal is to get to the Core of Alastor and corrupt it so it can tap into the power of the entire world.

Chaos Manifestations do not identify as Chaos, or Shadows; they will maintain the form(s) of whoever they are trying to impersonate to fool their target until they are destroyed. These manifestations look almost entirely identical to their real counterparts, but there may be some minor changes because these are not the real version. They may not act completely identical because the Chaos can only draw upon whatever memories it has access to. It will fill in the gaps as best it can, and relies strongly on the hazy, dreamlike state it puts its targets in while trying to manipulate them.

The manifestations are significantly less weak to light, but shining anything bright on them can hurt their eyes or make them uncomfortable. They have a physical form and feel real enough, but physically they are much weaker than an average person. If they are hit enough, the shadows will lose the ability to take physical form, and they will melt into shadows that can be chased away with light. They are weak against magic, which disrupts their ability to maintain form.

Chaos manifestations can be viewed by other people, but the Chaos will always try to isolate people so that the manifestations are most effective; this is most often done by creating a shadowy dome around their target that will muffle sounds and block sight and energy signatures. These walls are imperfect and can be broken, especially with concentrated light, or just because the shadows cannot maintain so many illusions at once.

Chaos Manifestations can only replicate what their target has already seen and experienced; they cannot give information their target did not already have. If the Chaos is mimicking a powered character, it can replicate any magic that it has seen but the magic is only visual; at best, it can only do physical damage under the illusion of magic.

The Chaos can shift forms into something less human, and it can do physical damage; players can choose to take as much or as little damage, but the shadows can take the form of anything if they like, including weapons capable of causing real damage. Taking any damage is entirely optional and players can choose to take no damage at all if they prefer.

If you are playing your own Chaos Manifestation, you can destroy it early or keep it around until a prompt is posted to indicate that you need to destroy it!
