GET READY FOR A WALL OF TEXT!

Ohho, Stuff seems to be happening!


I'll give you a few minutes to read it.

La la~

La la laaaaaa~

Are you done yet?

No? Okay.

Hmmmm mmm hm~

Now?

Yay!

What does it mean?!

Well, it means, after what seems like forever, stuff is actually HAPPENING around here! Isn't that great? Well, maybe.

What I need for this particular Metaplot is Teenagers. I need the current Teenagers who are ready to grow to Young Adult, and I need anyone who is ready for their Curios to be Teenagers when the growth slots open at the beginning of November. Yes, you have just over a month to get your Kids or Preteens ready for Teenager shenanigans if you want to participate in this particular game.

Don't worry! While this will mainly focus on the Almost Young Adults and the Almost Teens, there will still be stuff for your Toddler or Kid to do!


What's going to happen?!


Well...there's no easy way to put this...but...

THE MONSTERS ARE COMING, THE MONSTERS ARE COMING!

They're up to something, and it's up to you to stop them!

What Monsters, you ask? Well, it turns out that the Curios should have been something entirely different upon the moment of their birth, and their 'Monsters' will be coming back to try and reclaim their rightful lives.

Some may succeed, some may fail; but whether it turns out one way or the other is entirely up to you! Because of this, I'll need your help to pull this stunt off. I can't do it alone!


What I need you to do


First, decide if you want to participate. I highly encourage you to do so, as this will be a shop plot from here on out; it's okay if you don't though!

If you decide NOT to participate, feel free to keep reading, but otherwise do nothing. If you have a Teenager and don't want to participate, the Curio automatically wins their battle and will move to Young Adult normally without having to participate in the rest of the game.

If you decide TO participate, well you have some thinking to do! Also, you need to read the points below and fill out one of the forms to PM to Switch.

Teen to Young Adult:
  • Your Personal Monster: Your Growth Prompt will include a meeting with your Monster. Your Dark Half. Your Evil Twin. Whatever you want to call it. Figure out what the 'Monster' of your item would be! For example, an umbrella turns into the Yokai monster Karakasa. What kind of Monster could the item had made, had the Monster been the one to come out?
  • Round One: FIGHT!: As Part of the Growth Prompt, you will either have to defeat the Monster to keep your life the way it is as a Young Adult, or lose to the Monster and become a sort of half breed instead; half what you used to be, half what you should have been. Please note that should you choose to lose to the Monster for round one, your Curio will have until they move to Adult to break free of their Monster, or else they will turn into the Monster and forever lose the person they used to be.
  • Powers: Half-breeds will be limited to ONE power. If they had three before, they only have one now. It can be different from what they had before, or it can be an amplification of one they originally had. I WILL be monitoring these. No Monster nor Participating Curio will be perfectly powerful, and I will make sure of that. So no 'They charm every single person with a glance no matter what' or 'Barrier so thorough it can never be penetrated' or 'Freezes the room with a thought'. They're crazy, they're probably unpredictable, but they aren't perfect.
  • Little Note: If they lose to their Monster, their Young Adult stage art will be Monster-esque, whatever their Half-breed is. They will have changed BEFORE the Metaplot 'officially' begins.
  • Choose Your Side: And answer one of the Prompts below. Fill out 'DARKSIDE, BABY' should your Curio lose Round One, or 'KEEP ON FIGHTIN' should your Curio win Round One. These will be PM'd to Switch Gear, and I would appreciate it if you kept your choice a secret until the metaplot goes down. >D


Kid/Preteen to Teen
  • Little Note: Considering that the Epic Battle should only take place between Teenager and Young Adult, whoever chooses to participate in this Metaplot gets a bit of special treatment.
  • Read 'Teen to Young Adult stuff above'!: You have the same choices as the Teenagers, this time only. At the beginning of this Metaplot you will play your Curio as a regular teenager as though the Monster bit hadn't occurred yet, and DURING the Metaplot, your Curio will meet, battle and win or lose against their Monster. Their official Teenage stage will be Monster-esque if they lose, and will be normal should they win. As with the Monster-esque Young Adults, the Half-Breed Teenagers have one stage (meaning by Young Adult) to break free from their Monster or be lost to it forever.


A note to both: Should they win against their Monsters in Round One, there will be no second chance to become one! So choose carefully, yes.

Everyone Else:
  • This Applies to: Toddlers, Kids, and Preteens that didn't make the cut off in time!
  • Well... you can't have your Monster just yet, but you will one day! You may still sign up, I'm sure there will be something for you to still do!


Notes for Fun and Profit


o1: This will be a Curio vs. Monster!Curio event. NPCs will only be used if they are needed.
o2: Nobody will ACTUALLY get hurt or die unless you give your permission, or do it yourself (ex; claw marks on your Curio from their monster, etc)
o3: All of the information above is NOT knowledge that is around in Character. Kay won't remember it, and the books have been burned; they won't know or have an idea of what's going to happen until it does.
o4. As another Note; The Darkside already has a Leader, so if your Curio goes Monster they will be, in some tiny way at least, able to take direction from this Leader. The Good Guys however DON'T have a leader! We'll need some strong leader types to vie for that spot while the Metaplot is in progress.
o5. Any questions or concerns, ask here! Or over AIM (sanguincarn)

**Please be aware that however canon these forms are for MY characters, what is below is NOT knowledge available ICly, unless given by the characters themselves.**

Also, everyone else for side choosing needs to be PM'd for sekrits sake.


Examples:

Darkside Ahoy!
My Name is: Enoh Love
And: Xbalanque
Will become a Half-Breed Monster going to: Young Adult
Their Main Power is: Blood Control. Think of it as Black Blood from Soul Eater; his blood can solidify in his body to protect himself from harm, and if spilled he can manipulate it into spear-like needles to use against his opponents. Only applies to his own blood, and he has to see the attack coming to be able to use the solifying trick. Any blood that he loses can not go back into his body; he must replenish it like everyone else does, by resting. The more blood he loses, the weaker he becomes.
Their Personality will be: Crazy, Demanding, Tacticial. Tends to take actions to extremes and does not handle failure well; if he gives a task, he expects it to be completed properly. Does not recognize anyone he used to know prior to the change, and will feel no remorse for his words or actions.
And these are my RP limits: Death


++

And these are my RP limits: Death

Sense of Direction: He can tell direction, though it varies in strength depending on the sunlight. His ability works best in bright, sunny weather, pretty bad on dark cloudy days, and horrible at night. (( I.e. "I know exactly where it is!

My Name is: Yukiaella
And: Tarot
Still wants to Participate!
My Powers are: Divination. Tarot cannot control her power, nor can she control the method it presents in (i.e. visions, voices, feelings.) What she "sees" is usually determined by a combination of the people present and/or the seriousness of the situation. As of yet all her "visions" have been of the future.
And these are my RP limits: Death, anything that causes severe, unhealable damage (It's okay if wounds leave scars, but all limbs must still be attached.)

Monkey see~
My Name is: [ X_Bleeding Roses_X ]
And: Enyo
Still wants to Participate!
My Powers are: An aptitude at summoning and transfiguration! She hasn’t gotten that good at it yet, not having had a lot of practice so she can only summon small creatures in medium amounts or one single large-ish creature and is only able to transfigure non-living things and must keep the transfiguration to a similar size to the material she’s using. If she uses her power too much she’ll also tire pretty quickly, at maximum she can keep it up at medium levels for about half an hour.
And these are my RP limits: Death and Limb Severing.

And: Faiya
Still wants to Participate!
My Powers are: Scent magic, at this point limited to producing and altering scents around her, though if she grows to kid before the meta starts she'll be able to do little things like pick combos that are more aromatherapy oriented, like to relax or energize.
And these are my RP limits: Death, obviously. No maiming or severe/permanent injuries. Fractures, bumps and bruises are okay.

My Name is: Pales
And: Cheryl
Still wants to Participate!
My Powers are:
+ Unnerving Stare - Doesn't need to blink. (Nothing really happens if people aren't bothered by that sorta thing. Heh.)
+ Diagnose Health - Can tell if someone is healthy, ill or about to die. (Passive. Doesn't really account for much in the world of fighting other than to tell whether or not the person is worth patching up.)
+ Diagnose Death - Can tell the age of a corpse and sometimes how they died. (Helpful if you need to know that sorta thing? She'd need at a little longer than ten minutes before she can tell HOW they died.)
And these are my RP limits: No death. Nothing that can physically disable.



Monkey see~
My Name is: Pales
And: Harry
Still wants to Participate!
My Powers are:
+ Can bleed everywhere (BLOODBLOOD. Mostly a nervous trigger. It is a possibility that if he 'bleeds' to much he might faint/passout.)
+ Speak with the Undead (Mostly just zombies right now. May move on to Ghouls, ravenants, things like that.)
+ His punch hurts as much as a lead pipe. (He'd have to take a few moments to build up his strength before he unleashes the pain. I'd say it takes about a minute to do so.)
+ Convincingly Play Dead - Even smell like he'd decaying. (It is usually trigger caused by being overly frightened or self defense to make his enemy move on. Just flops over and 'dies' for a bit. It might take about 30 minutes for him to fully 'revive' and become flexible again...Damn rigor.)
And these are my RP limits: No death. Nothing that can physically disable.

SO I CAN START THINKING ABOUT THIS


Just so I know, to EVERYONE who has signed up to participate, I need you to answer a simple yes or no to the following question:

If it came down to it, would they physically fight?


For example: Kay is going to be a baddy, he will definitely resort to physical violence if he has to. Anon is going to be a good guy, but he has a shot gun and will be very protective of his children (and Mrrh). Therefore, I would reply to this with a simple "Kay: Yes, Anon: Yes".

I don't need you to tell me what side you're on, I just need to know if any character would, if need be, participate in a D&D style battle. I need a response for all 27 (and soon to be 30) Participating Curio.. Survivors, Half-Breeds and Everyone else. Everyone who signed up needs to answer this.

Please.

For completion's sake:

Kay: Yes.
Anon: Yes.

(Evander is not participating, he was just an example)
