World Blending Plot Proposal

If you wish to run a plot involving world blending, post your concept here for approval. We may have to reject or alter your request depending on the scope of the plot involved in order to keep it from disrupting our own plans for plots or the general behind-the-scenes concepts the RP is operating on. If you wish to run or even reference such a plot, you MUST post here and ask for approval, while we are likely to accept minor plots we still want to have the last say, as something innocuous could easily set a precedence that we don't want.

All world blending plot proposals should keep the following points in mind:
-World blending is more common amongst similar worlds, as worlds tend to be grouped into their own systems within the multiverse based on their attributes.
-Not all blending involves nonsentient or unaware creatures, a number of times world blending really gets serious because someone in one world realizes what's going on and starts using the new elements to their advantage.
-Blending can involve someone falling through a backdoor gate and ending up in another world.
-While we do allow named NPCs, try to avoid employing appable characters if at all possible. The use of potentially appable characters will be allowed on a case-by-case basis.
-You should try to check with the players in the canon(s) your plot involves, just to make sure everyone's on the same page.

I'm considering a blending incident between the Dream World and another world's dreams. Or for a particularly nasty incident, world BS. No specifics about which world, just whichever one might work. Not a major incident--if world blending wasn't involved this would be a minor cleanup mission for the Dream Saviors.

It's more than anything intended as an introduction to the Dream World, its enemies, and an excuse to turn CO agents into magical girls/boys for the duration of the mission.

Also, I really need to settle on a name for the enemies I'm happy with.

That shouldn't be a problem, talk to Elliot if you want to do Bliss Stage and make sure he's cool with it and let us know when you have all the details hammered out.

I am entirely cool with the Dream Saviors impinging on World BS. You have my e-mail address to work out the details.

Posting it here for formality's sake -- I'm working on a world-blending plot involving Gundam 00 and Gundam SEED. I've already spoken to Eq about what it entails, and he's given his support.

Approved.

I.... whoops. Didn't see this when I posted the Sally thing. Honestly, I think that's harmless; take of it what you will.

I was interested in the Nightmares trying to nom some other mecha universes, starting localized patches of Blissing Out in the process and needing to be stopped. Katina's mun gave me the A-OK to have something like that happen to world SRW.

Sally's thing is pretty harmless, but we still want you to ask before doing it, it makes it easier for us to track.

Bliss plot is approved for the SRW world.

The Nightmares are transdimensional by nature anyway, and I would like to have future invasion plots with them, but I'd like you to advise me on how frequent it should be.

Basically, best rule of thumb is to mention when you want to have one, and we'll tell you when it best works, timing-wise.

[identity profile] bittervictor.livejournal.com 2011-02-08 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
Simple enough. I'll ask around for worlds begging to be Nightmare'd.

Not sure about the specific world, though ideally it'd be either Guilty Gear or Persona once I talk to the muns related to it. But I was thinking of running a job log in which a nest of Heartless need to be exterminated. Maybe make it ongoing and have nests show up in other worlds every other month?

For later worlds, UraBoku might be an idea, too. Heartless and shadows are similar to the lesser Duras.

I'm just waiting on approval before putting up a post in OOC asking for worlds in general. I can have that be the next one if the mods okay it. :>

[identity profile] the-overseers.livejournal.com 2011-01-10 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
Generally OK with it, the ongoing thing I'd like to be a bit less frequent, although heartless do tend to jump worlds I don't want them crossing boundaries so much right now. You're approved to run this job, but whenever you want to have another heartless surge just contact us first (IM is fine), we may have you hold off based on our timeline and whatnot.

[identity profile] kyoko-flirts.livejournal.com 2011-01-10 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
Sure, no problem on it being less frequent. I just figured having something regular that, once you get down to it, isn't an insidious plot would be fun. I'll let you know once I get the details on the first run! Thanks!

Cool, just let me know.

I THINK I ought to post this here...?


Canons: Touhou, Yakuza Theatre (Floogy was asked)
Duration: A week or two with tagging, it depends how fast people tag. In-story, it should take mostly a day or so, similar to other mission logs (like the world blending one involving the book).
It should not cause much concern for most players as not many would be involved.

Event Summary:
Several days ago, an interdimensional smuggler went to Gensokyo, to capture several fairies to sell them. This worked.
Shortly after that, the same smuggler, having various minor goods from various worlds in his storage, went to world YT.

Unfortunately, the fairies woke up in the time spent travelling between dimensions, and caused pretty heavy damage to the small "spaceship" (and the smuggler, who got knocked out cold by danmaku to the face), which caused it to go out of control. It took a while to arrive in world Yt, and by that time, the fairies had already plundered the contents. Unfortunately, these contents include the equivalent of carry-over licenses.

What crash landed in world YT ended up as a group of average Gensokyo fairies. Except that they kept their abilities, and were thus a bigger source of trouble than normal, due to World YT being a low powered world.

The mission would, essentially, be about finding the fairies, and capturing with them while being low-powered by the setting.
Find fairies -> chase fairies, who escape onto a freigth train -> fighting down fairies on the train! -> memory wipe of all involved, hopefully discovering the crashed "spaceship" and recovering fairies&other merchandise.


The fairies would be nameless, generic fairies and big fairies. I believe it still requires modly authorization, though.
