"A million times I have done this charade. The moment people figure it out, I get the boot." she thought.
"But don't you want to see the fear in their eyes when they see who you really are...? Don't you want dominion of this place, just like how you were unchallenged in Vaal Kastrix?" said the Voice.
Ciara scoffed, immediately thinking of Gulliver and Valen. "I'd love to wipe the smirk off their faces."
"It starts by building a rumor. A rumor of power. This could be the place to start."
She took a deep breath, narrowing her eyes resolutely at the Undermage. "Head Advisor, with all due respect, you have no right to ask me about my intentions. If you want answers..."
She stood from her seat, rising to her full height.
Her breath caught when she felt the cold metal of a pistol against her temple.
"Put the heart down, and back the hell up if you want your friend to live," the guard said to Ellie in a rumbling baritone, digging the gun into Dream's head.
Dream squinted at Ellie, vision blurred as she tried to breathe. The heart, glinting in Ellie's hands.
The doctor, his face turning white every time she asked what would happen if they failed. Above all else, he said, they had to keep the heart safe. They had to, even if it meant...
She snarled, her boot stamping down on the guard's foot, a burst of light bruising the bone. He yelped, losing his grip. That's all she needed, and she tore away. But in her haste, she saw his free arm reaching for her, and she slipped on panicked feet as he pushed her off the railing.
She held back a scream, staring straight down into the boiling pit below. The guard wrapped a tight hand around her ankle, and Ellie could see Dream's other foot flailing; she restrained herself poorly from kicking the guard, desperately hoping she wouldn't die.
As her captor supported himself against the railing, his pistol pointed at Ellie.
Deep, golden orbs stared back at her from within the cave.
God, she couldn't breathe.
He was monstrous. The ground trembled under her feet as his rippling, massive body exited the cave. Thunderous footsteps left cracks in the dirt, his breath sent waves of heat creeping over her skin. The transformation was slow, but it looked like something from a nightmare with the way his long teeth were bared.
A great and terrible roar sounded from his gaping maw.
@Herald Your CS looks great. I was thinking they'd be a great candidate for some Wild interaction, given their suffering. Feel free to pop them in the CS tab when you have a moment.
Do we need to fill out the NPC and Character Relationship sheets too?
Nope, only if you have an NPC idea. Character relationships are voluntary if you want to give more information on how your character feels about everyone else. They're useful as a reference later in the game.
@Lexisheeps I'll write up some religion concepts and let you know! I like your ideas!
[WAVES VIOLENTLY] HI ETSY. Lexi told me about this. I love the idea of this but but but, Are we allowed to possibly play something in The Wilds? But like, possibly captured by any of the corps (Probably Umbra Corps by the sounds of things) as like a 'forced' contact?
Heya! You can absolutely play a Wild. They could absolutely be captured by Umbra Corp and forced to do a Possesive Subjugation on one of their soldiers. I line your idea, you should definitely go for it.
What sort of bodies / physical forms do the Wilds have? And what's the mechanic of Wilds PCs granting other non-Wilds PCs the abilities?
Hello! That is entirely up to the player. Wilds are known to have physical forms or ghost-like forms. However, all forms have a physical heart present.
The Wild becomes bound to the human. If they are spectral they will live inside the human. If they are corporeal they will live around the human. They will have a mental tether that binds their souls, allowing them to communicate telepathically. The Wild will feast on the humans emotions, either positive or negative, depending on the type of Wild. And the human will in turn gain powers. These powers can be enhanced if enough suffering happens.
We actually have a perfect candidate. @Herald, if you're interested in getting an abyssal connection, this might be a way to make it happen.
I already have two loose character concepts! So many things to write, but not enough time in a day! Dx
First character concept is a former Ghost faction member turned Lawless. But, do Lawless folk have to pick sides? I'm thinking my guy found religion, or at least some form of moral code.
Second character concept is a chaotic neutral wild. Being nice or nasty completely depends on the current situation. Probably targeting anybody that attacks and helps those who deserve it.
That's the thing with Lawless, they wander like the Wild West. You can be a 'bounty hunter' with a code, or a 'red neck hooligan' ready to rob a bank. I can draft some religion for you of you'd like, moral code is alright too. Quite the contrast. A moral Lawless...
Second concept is great too. It's up to you which one you want to go with!
I actually have a good example of that. There were positive Wilds that saved a player from a negative Wild. They also gave the player a potion that would help them save the other players. Negative Wilds get annoyed with positive Wilds, but let them eat how they want to eat, how they need to eat. The King doesn't force positive Wilds to fight, as they wouldn't gain any sustenance from all the negative emotions. Positive Wilds can be mischievous, sure, and don't often get in the way of a negative Wild, as both respect the way the other eats. But worst case scenario, positive and negative Wilds have been known to fight, like sibling spats. It's very uncommon, though.
@Wayward, you are welcome to give us our closing remarks in this IC to conclude the prelude if you would like. Then it would just be the CSes I would need from you and @Qia
I'm very excited! Let me know if you have any questions in the new OOC!
