If DP and Rose are going to be inactive, we're going to have to notify everyone to get things going. (on an unrelated note, i'm sad that my Noxonshaw collab with DP, Faith, and Theo is at a standstill... again goddamnshitfuck)
Sorry NK :( Really busy this week, end of college. So my time is quite tight (no etherpad for me this week :( )
Also sorry for not posting anything in the IC yet <.< I'll try and get a post in asap over the next few days ^^'
I think you could still do the bit by zombie thing. You could say that a massive brawl took place during the fuel run, attracting zombie attention, maybe even encountering some of the nasty zombies like a spitter and caused her to get injured by a zombie. When they got back to the farm, who have been attacked by their own group of people but Cat and the others fought/killed them. Also attracting zombies and causing them to leave. Along the way, Mercy discovers Ash's bite as it worsens and despite efforts can't save her. And in the end, it's Cat who has to axe Ash.
Could work very well like that xD Thanks for backing that up ^^ It'd be interesting to learn more about his reasoning and thought processes <.<
<Snipped quote by Silver Fox>
And that increases the tension all the more.
I revised the write-up, just adding some minor details like rule specifics. I can send it to someone if y'all wanna upload it.
Write-up looks fantastic! ^^ Looks like everything new players would need to know is in there :D The finer details of the democracy could be put into the actual OOC, right? By that I mean the veteran's approving new character thing ^^'
Did you not want to upload it? :S I don't mind popping it into the interest checks and keeping an eye on it if you don't want to <.< Assuming this would still go into the Casual section?
@Silver Fox Can imagine that being quite terrifying for Dog o.o...more character development :D
On the democracy front, thank you for clearing that up for me ^^ Think its a great idea opening it up to everyone but also in favour of Fox's idea of veterans approving characters before posting.
Well I was planning on taking Ash out by a bite to force Mercy to develop if I was honest, nothing more satisfying than the ol' 'you can't save me anyway' xD Could have been injured during the fuel run or farm overrun, though wouldn't the latter be more of a reason for them to have abandoned the farm?
And whoa @teapotshark that is fantastic :D Thank you for going through the trouble of writing that all up o.o Really loving the different types of zombies xD Spitters look especially nasty now they're all lined up like that ^^'
(I'm not sure if it affects this but I may not be able to get back online until Sunday evening :S After this weekend, I'll be able to be more productively helpful...so to speak ^^')
And Cat could be the one to totally Axe her. Since he'd probably be the only one who could do it without being traumatized at having to take a friend's life. Might be another reason why Mercy might just avoid him more.
That would actually be perfect xD Would help with character development! Paves the way for Mercy having a bit more 'bite' behind her actually <.<
One-eyed Dog does sound like an interesting twist ^^ Wouldn't it be worrying if Dog wasn't about to keep Cat from killing everyone o.o
Intelligent zombies is a great idea. They're not exactly dumb as a post, but they're not super smart. Perhaps they have pack instincts, and learn from their actions. For example, they learn that food is fast and they are not, so they learn how to ambush. Learning zombies!
I also like the idea of different types of zombies. Generic zombies, runners, spitters, screamers. Imagine these guys learning hunting tactics.
Mercy, Cat, One-Eyed Dog, Chris and Tony make their way into a city in dire need of supplies after the farm was overrun and various NPCs killed. Rarity's characters could have been separated from ours, so they can pop back in if need be. The same goes for Mistress Cyanide. They'll meet new characters in the city and boom, plot and character development out the wazoo. This sound good?
If we have a clear goal in mind for the plot (i.e.: get supplies and find long-term shelter either inside or outside of the city, plus individual goals like we did at the beginning), and encourage this to keep moving, we can keep the roleplay on its toes.
Ooo, liking those ideas :D Gives the RP a whole new dynamic...learning zombies xD I think different zombies would be interesting as well and from what you've said terrifying <.< Runners learning to 'herd' survivors so as to box them in o.o Would screamers be like clickers from the last of us? Or more like the witches from left for dead?
The plot plan sounds good to me as well ^^ What about the long term goal being creating a safe zone/long term shelter inside or outside of the city? :S Only ask because I've not seen it before ^^' It's 9/10 down to the survivors finding one <.< Also would vote for individual goals being a must :) Like the idea of personal goals conflicting with the overall plan xD Also I may add in a new character when this starts as well if you two are okay with that?
Also not sure whether you two saw my question before about the democracy? o.o Would that be between us veterans or would that be extended to everyone who joined?
I'd really appreciate an answer if its not too much bother. Want to know/make sure I'm on the same page as you guys ^^'
Name: Rain Bodolf Lyall Nicknames: Rain, Blue, Wolf. Gender: Female Species/Race: Werewolf (Pure blood) Age: 21 Height: 5'7 Weight: 133 lbs Hair Color: Dark Oceanic Blue Eye Color: Sky Blue (Human) Dark purple (Wolf) Skin Color: Fair/Pale Figure: Curvaceous, fairly top heavy. Job: Negotiator - Alpha in training
Powers
+Lunar Manipulation: = Rain can bend lunar energy to her will, though there are many other aspects of lunar manipulation so far she can only absorb and manipulate the energy/light of the moon into offensive abilities.
Concussion Beams: Release beams of solidified lunar energy/substances. Formulated Lunar Blasts: Release blasts of lunar energy/substances in a form of a creature or object. (Often a wolf) Lunar Infusion: Empower and energize anything touched or used (usually a weapon) with lunar energy/substances. Lunar Constructions: The ability to create shapes out of lunar energy. Rain is only capable of making temporary weapons out of lunar energy. Zap: A tiny short release of lunar energy/substances to cause pain or discomfort, usually too low-powered to be destructive.
+Werewolf Physiology = Rain cannot change into a full werewolf unless the moon is full. She can pull through traits of her inner wolf into her human form however. Her jaw muscles strengthen and expand to make room for her top and bottom fangs to elongate and strengthen. She can also manipulate her vocal chords to imitate animal noises, such as roaring, growling and howling.
Generic power breakdown: Retractable claws Heightened Senses: Werewolves can smell, see and hear far better than humans. Accelerated Healing: Werewolves heal quickly from most injuries. Enhanced Senses Enhanced Bite Enhanced Agility: Werewolves can jump, run, climb and react faster than humans. Enhanced Strength: Werewolves are much stronger than humans. Pain Transference: Werewolves can absorb and alleviate pain from other people/creatures and can "heal" in some cases. Memory Transference: Werewolves can transfer (give or take) memories by inserting claws into the nape of an individual's neck. This ability can also allow direct "mind to mind' communication.
Alpha pulse: - Alpha's can discharge their presence in a pulse. It triggers something in a Beta or Omega's brain that makes them want to submit regardless of how they're feeling or what they're doing. This can effect other species if they are naturally very submissive.
Weaknesses
- WolfsBane = The effects of Wolfsbane vary depending on the type, amount and delivery method. It can cause hallucinations, weaken, render unconscious or kill werewolves.
- Full Moon = On the full moon Rain is forced into her werewolf form whether she wants to or not, during this time she is inflicted with a feral mind.
- Pack Mentality: = Rain believes everyone should work within a pack mentality, there should be a well rounded structure to how they work with an obvious chain of command. Because of this she doesn't understand nor like selfish individuals or people out for themselves.
- Electricity: = The steady application of low amperage or an irregularly high voltage jolt of electricity will keep werewolves weak and in full human form. If amped enough it has the potential of killing them unless they have the spark of an alpha.
- New Moon: = Rain can use her lunar powers during the day, providing that she has absorbed the moons rays the night before, like a solar lunar panel. On the night of the new moon she is unable to recharge meaning her powers will either be significantly weaker or non existent the next day. Note: If she is cut off from the moon by emprisonment or something similar and isn't able to soak in the moons rays her powers will weaken or she won't be able to use them.
Personality:
Rain is a generally calm person, she doesn't like confrontation but easily takes it in her stride. Despite her bestial origins she is a fairly patient person and has trained herself to take a lot of jip without reacting in a negative way . She does have triggers like everyone else but she tries to keep them well guarded. She's wise and strategic, able to perceptively find loopholes in table top organisation or out in the field.
She isn't fond of beating things around the bush, she prefers to be honest and upfront with people whether it hurts them or not. She has a slight heroic drive, but isn't as open minded about it, she'll do what she can but won't always push herself unless its someone whom she considers to be within her pack or someone she cares deeply for.
Rain is used to living a certain way, she's used to being relied on and being under the constant burden of responsibility, this can make her come across as a bit of a bore to other people. She has become a bit of a workaholic and is in need of a reminder of what its like to let go and have fun.
It should be noted that Rain isn't as well versed in interaction with people outside of her pack, as her species has grown independent from the world they have developed more efficient ways of communicating. Often through their body language and scent, for example, its difficult to lie to a werewolf because they can detect the increase and decrease in a persons pulse.
Background:
The biggest misconception of the werewolves of Lavanya is that they are nothing more than mindless beasts, feral to their core.
The werewolves of Lavanya are in fact divided into many different species and cultures, most of which are far more sophisticated then they are given credit for. Rain hails from one of these packs, they are known as the mountain dwellers because that is where they have chosen to reside, though in the past they have stayed hidden away, living independently from the rest of Lavanya, recent events have forced them to look outside of their tight knit communities and finally consider making contact with outsiders.
Rain was born and raised in the mountain pack on the outskirts of Mithos. She has spent her entire life in this region, living within her pack. When she turned sixteen she took the rite of maturity as is customary of her people, during this time it was hit or miss as to whether she was going to survive. The risk for females taking the rite is significantly higher than males, they struggle to control their wolves as they tend to be far more violent than males.
Being the current alphas daughter a lot is expected of her, as her people have grown and adapted to Lavanya they have introduced new customs to run alongside the old ones. Often discarding the more barbaric customs, one of these is the crowning of new alphas. Whereas before any werewolf could try to dethrone their alpha if they so wished be this through cut-throat or honourable means, now alphas must choose a descendent. Rain is her fathers chosen descendent which is both an honour and burden.
When she was seventeen she came across a rather influential werewolf, Piper, at the annual pack meeting. The two hit it off instantly, Piper was new, rebellious and...free unlike Rain herself. It was during this time the young werewolf came to terms with her sexuality and began a dangerous affair with the other woman. Unfortunately, the werewolves haven't embraced everything the modern world has to offer them, for example homosexuality is forbidden within their culture. Three years into their touch and go relationship Rain and Piper made a mistake and were caught out, this resulted in Piper's execution.
Rain has spent the last two years grieving for the loss of her mate and making up for her 'mistake'. With her father nearing the end of his time, she is still expected to take over as his predecessor but she has had to work hard to regain the trust of her pack. With Marcus marching his way through Lavanya the packs are in danger of being crushed beneath his boots unless they break their old habits and act.
She's come to Oasari to negotiate on behalf of the packs with the hope of convincing Maria that the packs wish to swear fealty to her cause is genuine. She's hoping by taking this chance her people can take a step up and into Lavanya society, instead of living in its shadows...she truly believes this could potentially be a changing point for her people.
Other:
- Sorry boys, Rain is gay. She is very open about her sexuality away from her pack, her superiors believe it is just a phase she is going through. They do not mind her having 'flings' but they won't accept her imprinting on an outsider or a female. - Rain doesn't naturally hate vampires nor really have a problem with them, she doesn't particulary like their scent...then again she hasn't liked the scent of a fair few humans. - She can play the piano and is very efficient with a bow, though she wasn't taught archery by her pack...she was taught by a friend of her father. - Rain is a direct descendent of the illusive 'celestial wolf' within Chinese and Japanese culture, this is known by her ability to manipulate moonlight and starlight, which are powers blessed by the star Sirius.
I rather like the idea of the democracy ^^ A good way to limit the pressure build up on one person and could lead to a nice change in pace throughout. Think the off screen development would be a good idea as well, give a settled kind of approach to things.
The only thing I'd say about the democracy is would that be between us veterans or would that be extended to everyone who joined?
As for how the group got moved on, perhaps overrun by a zombie herd? If we do reboot this and nobody minds, I'd like to have Ash removed from play, perhaps by a zom-zom bite or something sacrificial like that xD
I agree with finding an idea to set it apart whilst keeping character development as a big part of it <.< The government one is interesting xD Though kind of limits things as to where the story can go if its just a sectioned off piece of land. It's quite a hard one finding something unique to run with >.< Different mutations in the zombies? Secret Organisations? Underground safe zone made by the government for select peoples? Intelligent zombies? Brainstorming a few might be a good idea ^^'
Hey guys, sorry didn't get a lot of time over the past 4 days to really think about or reply to any of this :/
I've got one more super busy weekend to get through and then I'll be able to dedicate more time to RP things in general.
I've messaged Rarity back already but wanted to talk to you guys about it.
I'm not entirely convinced I'm even GM material o.o' co-GM sure, but actual GM status I don't know. Would either of you consider the role?
As for what to do with the RP now, I strongly believe that in order to keep this going a reboot with (or without if you prefer) our current characters knowing each other would be the best next step. Some new blood would be good for this right now ^^
Weren't there plans for the group heading to a mall at some point? It could be a good starting point, a mall would make it easier for new survivors to meet up.
That's my thoughts on the situation ^^' How are you feeling about this?
I doubt I can explain what I'm feeling right now, not many people experience the transition from the mortal realm to the magical Lavanya.
And I know its probably all in my head but I swear I could feel the magic rush through me as I passed over.
Want to know the best part?
As soon as my feet touched Lavanya soil I was no longer bound to my oath.
I've spent the past five years with a collar round my neck, you have no idea how good it feels to finally remove it...
Crash spread all four of his legs slightly as he shook out his crimson pelt, careful not to dislodge the backpack secured on his back. Since he'd returned to Lavanya he'd barely stayed in one form for more than a few minutes, pushing himself to his limits as he darted about shifting from one animal to the next ignoring the disapproving grumbles of the people behind him. At this moment in time he was trotting along a cobbled street, taking in the sights around him. He had no idea exactly where he was, just that he was in the continent known as Oasari.
He padded over the stones lifting his nose into the air as he drew in a few deep breaths, absently searching for familiar scents as he did. He couldn't be sure whether it would be a very effective way to find anyone but he figured it wouldn't hurt to try. He'd been so excited about returning to Lavanya and being able to shapeshift again, he'd left his guides at the edge of the town an hour or so ago. He'd wanted to explore before he went to the inn, his ears flicked back as he thought about it. A ball of nervous energy appeared in his chest, intertwining with the buzzing wires of excitement that had settled there a few hours before.
He wasn't entirely sure why he was nervous about seeing the surviving Athalians, he figured it had something to do with the way he'd left. When Mercy had taken him away he'd been in pretty bad shape, so much so his survival hadn't exactly been a definite...not that he thought that would excuse the fact he had left them. The shapeshifter skirted around a few people, trying not to grin wolfishly as they barely paid him any mind, his tail was already swinging around happily behind him. Carefully crossing to the other side of the road he was trotting along, Crash turned his head to take in the sights around him vaguely taking in the names of shops and buildings as he passed by.
The red wolf came to abrupt halt in front of one of the shops, craning his head back to read the sign above it, lifting his lips to reveal his teeth in the best grin he could manage in his current form. He was pretty sure there was only one person that would have a store like this...without thinking it over the wolf padded over to the open door poking his head into the store, his nose twitched as the familiar yet unfamiliar smell of the Otaku greeted him. Feeling more confident that he was right, Crash reared up on his back legs, effortlessly and quietly shifting back into his human form. Wearing a patterned loose fitting shirt with his trade mark bandanna hanging around his neck and plain stonewashed jeans, the shapeshifter looked a little different. The most obvious differences were the eye patch that was just visible beneath the mop of fiery red hair atop his head, a small ring in his left ear and the mature edge to his once boyish features. Once the small cloud of purple smoke had dispersed he lifted his hand and knocked on the door to announce his presence.
"Hey Ryuu" He greeted the Otaku with a large grin, reaching around to loosen the straps of his backpack so he could slide one of his arms out of it and lift it to salute at Ryuu. "It's been a while huh?" He stated, shuffling from foot to the other in the doorway, he reached up with one of his hands to grip the strap of his backpack. "This place looks awesome, mind if I come in and look around?" Crash asked as his other hand moved to rest on the back of his neck...he was completely unaware that the person before him wasn't exactly who he thought it was.
Gender: Male Species/Race: Shapeshifter Age: 23 (Not far off 24) Height: 6'2"/1.88 m Weight: 154 lb./69.85 kg Hair Color: Fiery Red, tends to jump between wearing it up with a bandanna and down in a messy manner. Eye Color: Left eye is Crimson. Right eye is milky white as Crash is blind in his right eye, with a nasty looking scar stretching vertically down over his eye he tends to wear a patch to cover it up. (Usually changes the color of his visible eye to Emerald green out of habit) Skin Color: Lightly tanned Figure: Lean/Atheletic. He's well built and stronger than he looks. Scars: Over his right eye, an unsightly x across his left pectoral muscle. Job: Anything and everything, moves around, doesn't settle.
Powers:
Crash is a settler, a rare mutation in shape shifters. It is the ability to eventually 'settle' on one form. The settled form will give him access to the chosen forms powers as well as becoming fully vulnerable to their weaknesses.
Settlers are not considered the most powerful of the shifters by any means, it is the opposite of what they are. But they are held in high respect because whilst they are still able to shift, their powers can be transferred over without having to fully change form. The mutation is common in pure blooded shifters.
Because he hasn't settled down yet he still has the ability to shapeshift, though he only tends to use two forms of mimicry.
+ Beast Mimicry - Crash still has the ability to change into any animal that he has seen in real life or illustrated. When in these forms he adopts their natural prowess, for example, if the animal could see in the dark so could he. He emits a small cloud of harmless purple smoke when he shifts between forms. While in animal form, he retains his human intellect, memories, and the ability to speak. No matter what animal form he takes, his coloration and eyes remain red, making most of his animal forms easy to distinguish from real animals of that species.This power is not an obviously offensive one.
(Note: Crash's favourite forms are Red panda and Corgi puppy. Neither have special abilities.)
+ Mythological mimicry - This form of mimicry is where Crash's power lies. Unlike his animal form his hair and eye color does not cross over when he shifts. So far he has only been able to take on two forms, the celestial Achiyalabopa and the fearsome Chimera. (Perhaps room for a Crashizard in the future?)
All that is known about the Achiyalabopa is that it is a celestial bird considered considered to be the Native American Pueblo tribes god of the sky it also related to the creation of everything. It's feathers look deceptively soft but they are in fact as sharp as knives.
Form Powers: Aerial efficiency, knife like feathers which he can fire at enemies once or twice per shift. Healing Wind
Form Weaknesses: Shadows, physical damage, confined spaces, squishy, weak against opponents who can nullify air-based abilities, draining - time before exhaustion, 10 minutes.
Extra: Crash came across this creature when he was on a spirit journey in the Pueblo reservation. Having been talked into it by his travelling companion, he went to see a medicine man in the hopes of finding a way back to Lavanya. He undertook the spiritual journey because the medicine man believed he was in need of spiritual healing and direction, he was led to the Achiyalabopa.
The chimera is a terrifying creature known for having three different heads and a live snake for the tail. The image Crash was shown was slightly different therefore he adopted that form instead.
Form Powers: Enhanced bite, agility and prehensile tail. The snake head at the tip of his tail is not venomous but could dish out a nasty bite. The flames can go into the shape of a ball. The flame breath could just go straight. Can spread the flames to a large area. -Limited fire.
Form Weaknesses: Electricity, ice, if his tail is incapacitated it paralyses him unless he shifts backs. Weak against magic and average attacks can whittle him down after time. Draining.
Extra: Crash's search took him to places where myths originated and where he believed magic had left a mark on the mortal realm. One such place was Mount Chimaera, the supposed birthplace of the chimera in Greek mythology. Crash encountered 'something' whilst there and managed to injure himself, when filing a report with the local authorities he met the polices sketch artist who happened to be a mythological nut and was the person who unknowingly sketched out Crash's Chimera form.
Weaknesses:
- Blind Side = Crash can't see out of his right eye, the damage cannot be healed supernaturally either by him or anyone else. When he changes shape he can disguise the damage to his eye but still can't see out of it. He isn't open about the reasoning behind this.
- Possessed = Though over the years Crash has learnt to control his innermost emotions so as to control his inner demon, he still runs the risk of it breaking free. Strong negative emotions such as intense fear or rage can cause his control to wane. When this begins to happen his shapeshifting powers go array, his eyes start to glow, he begins to suffer from severe chest pain and beast like features pull through into his human form, a hoof for a hand, fangs, tails, long ears etc. If he cannot pull himself under control, he shapeshifts into a Wendigo*. Losing complete control of himself, he becomes a passenger in his own body. Descending into a feral rage that, mentally, causes him to become little more than a savage beast. Feral mind = -May be unable to separate friend from foe and attacks everyone. -May be unable to remember activity in primal rage. -May revert to a state of mind where the users only thoughts are simply: fight, flight, or...hunt.
He reverts back after a few hours unless beaten in combat, despite the change harming the Wendigo directly harms Crash, therefore killing it effectively kills the shapeshifter as well.
(*The Wendigo is a Native American demon best known for its cannibalistic nature and living in sub zero temperatures. Very weak against fire. It was believed that the evil spirit of the Wendigo could transfer from one person to the next when they consumed human flesh.
After getting its claws into a shapeshifter many years ago its powers have grown and the rumour goes that a shapeshifter merely has to lock eyes with the beast in order to be marked with the Wendigo's dark mark.)
- Thunderstorms = Crash is petrified of Thunderstorms, he has almost developed a sixth sense for sensing natural thunderstorms before they arrive. When he does he will excuse himself from any and all activity to find somewhere to hide and wait it out.
-Notoriously clumsy = He may have changed but he is still as clumsy as ever!
-Afraid of medical staff = Little is known about this weakness, but nurses and doctors are as scary to him as clowns are to most people.
-Insectophobia = Crash is not keen on bugs at all, most of them generally freak him out. Spider in the bathtub? Don't call him...there is nothing dignified about a 23 year old jumping back and forth with a variety of startled squeaks as he tries to pick it up and put it outside. (Besides it could be detrimental to the health of your bathroom...)
Personality:
Crash as he is quite aptly named, is a bit of clutz. He’s a good guy at heart but often makes a nuisance of himself, he just can’t seem to slow himself down, he’s usually full of energy and isn’t happy unless he’s busy! He isn't good when it comes to serious matters, often remaining jovial despite all odds which others can find infuriating at times. He's physically unable to stay still for too long and severely dislikes anything that requires him to be so, he gets extremely restless and struggles to concentrate. Both of these facts can make him seem fairly immature to others.
Crash is notorious for keeping a smile on his face and maintaining a positive energy. He doesn't tend to showcase his personal emotions, it could be said that he hides them behind his jovial nature or it could be taken that he really is carefree enough to let things go. He’s always willing to help out, he’s easy to talk to and although he may not always know what to say he makes for a good listener. If you're going to ask a favour of him though bear in mind that sometimes his clumsiness gets in the way and he may unintentionally end up making things worse before they get better.
He's an intelligent chap but his social perception is awful, sometimes he talks before thinking. He's particularly nervous about casually talking to women and can become quite flustered, it's incredibly easy to make him blush. When he's flustered he's even more clumsy than usual.
Crash was badly injured during the destruction of Athalia, he stayed to take a final stand against Marcus and arguably wouldn't have survived without Mercy's help. Fleeing along with everyone else his guardian decided it'd be best for both of them to leave the magical realms of Lavanya behind completely and return to the mortal realm.
With Maria's help, Crash swore an oath not to use his powers under any circumstances whilst he was there, though he was permitted to hide his peculiar eye color so as not to raise suspicion.
So despite his reluctance to leave he was shipped back to the mortal realm and the mortal way of living. He stayed with Mercy for 6 months before leaving her to travel or rather to wander...losing Athalia and the people there left him with a wound that wouldn't heal, the fact that he had left the other survivors to oppose Marcus, cut deeper still.
4 years on Crash has been to every corner of the mortal realm, drifting from place to place, even spending time in a band whilst searching for a way back to Lavanya. Some time during those 4 years Crash lost the use of his right eye after his 'past' finally caught up with him, it was a choice between breaking his oath and taking his dues...needless to say he's a loyal son of a gun.
A few weeks ago Mercy gave him what he'd absently been searching for, though made him promise to stay until after her wedding...
Other:
- Crash tended to carry a pair of drumsticks around Athalia Academy and still does today out of habit. - He uses his shapeshifting powers to change cosmetic things about himself, covering up unsightly scars or changing his eye color. It doesn't take up much of his stamina to use and only requires a small amount of concentration to maintain it. - Knows his way around a few medical procedures, nothing worthy of a hospital though he'd make a good field medic...if you trusted him to treat you. - He's very self-conscious about his injured eye. - Crash values others above himself, this can be seen as a good but also as a weakness. - Crash has a few keepsakes from his travels, a small piece of lightning ridge black opal which he wears on a short black necklace. A 'snowglobe' and a small assortment of precious gems and trinkets. - The bandana around Crash's neck is the collar Fate placed on him years back. Its appearance was altered by a powerful sorceress Karma Matsumoto when she discovered even she could not remove it. It's waterproof and although he can move it up to rest above his ears, it can't be slid off of his head or untied.
