AU EVENT 2011: 1920s NOIR

First, new players! Let me call your attention to the most recent Moon Cycle post. This will help you understand a little of what's going to happen next week. As for this week, your characters are affected in the sense that they will find themselves in 1920s fashion within hours of arriving, if not immediately ( Read more... )

Question/Suggestions somarium_lords April 16 2011, 00:47:04 UTC

All Questions and Suggestions here!

Re: Question/Suggestions redcladidealist April 16 2011, 01:02:00 UTC

So! Affected characters lose any supernatural abilities. Check. However, what about things like Lloyd's Exsphere? Will that even still be on his hand? Or will it disappear?

chose_death April 16 2011, 01:35:05 UTC

Affected characters will take on 'new identities,' so to speak, during their time in AU adventure land. For the most part, any old possessions from their previous existence will be refashioned as something they would know in their 1920s verse. If it doesn't fit in anywhere or you can't skew it very well, it can be eliminated for a brief time.

--THAT SAID can I have some information on Lloyd's Exsphere? I'm not very familiar with the Tales of canon so anything you can provide would be awesome.

redcladidealist April 16 2011, 01:48:20 UTC

Exspheres are a kind of gem that can be mined from the earth in the Tales of Symphonia universe. When attached to a person, they can grant extra strength and certain mana-related abilities, but without a mount or crest made of inhibitor ore and carved with dwarven runes, a Key Crest, the Exsphere will slowly make the person sicken and die, even absorbing their soul. Removing an Exsphere that has been directly attached without a Key Crest will cause a person's mana to go out of control, turning them into a monster called an Exbelua.

Lloyd's Exsphere is the same one that was cultivated on his mother during an experiment called the Angelus Project, which was intended to make a Cruxis Crystal (an advanced form of Exsphere) inside a human host. His Exsphere is attached with a Key Crest, so removing it is possible without him turning into a monster ( ... )

When you say, "Nightmares and her minions"... "her"?

Is "Nightmares" a person, or are you calling it that like you would a boat?

chose_death April 16 2011, 01:51:34 UTC

The Nightmaress leads all things Nightmares. We have not expanded on her terribly much throughout the course of this RP's plots yet, but you'll recognize her as the mysterious black-haired woman that tends to show up during New Moon events.

I see... [Notes this down, definitely not for any nefarious, Eas-related purposes in the future.]

Re: Question/Suggestions 27hyperdyingwil April 16 2011, 03:03:39 UTC

Soo.... Because the characters no longer have their powers, does this mean that Tsuna no longer has Hyper Intuition? since it was something he was born with, but i'm not sure if it counts as a power or not. ^^;;

I'm cool with him no longer having the ability to use his dying will flames, but i'm not sure how the Hyper Intuition falls into the category.

Also.. what about his pet Natsu? natsu is a weapon that lives in a ring form most of the time unless Tsuna needs him. Should Natsu just be a normal pet for the Au event and no longer be able to be a weapon?

Just trying to iron out details is all. ^^;;

Re: Question/Suggestions chose_death April 16 2011, 03:10:05 UTC

He won't be able to use Hyper Intuition to a MAGICAL extent, but he can still have an excellent intuition within the realm of human possibility. Interpret that as you'd like!

His pet can either be a real pet or just a ring. He will not have access to Natsu as a weapon.

Re: Question/Suggestions 27hyperdyingwil April 16 2011, 03:17:57 UTC

Alright, So he'll get to have his pet lion cub and his hyper intuition. sounds good to me~ <3

Thank you!

Re: Question/Suggestions lilcharmedwitch April 16 2011, 05:19:26 UTC

do the fashion changes necesarily have to be to AMERICAN 1920s fashion? What if you want, say, British 1920s fashion?

Re: Question/Suggestions chose_death April 16 2011, 15:41:54 UTC

GO FOR IT!

Re: Question/Suggestions retromodel April 17 2011, 23:50:56 UTC

Another question!

Are there any mod plots planned for this event? Special events that will happen during the 1920s phase?

Re: Question/Suggestions spectaculaire April 19 2011, 01:17:39 UTC

At the moment we don't have anything specific planned. This is mostly because it looks like there's going to be a lot of player plots that could potentially explode into something huge, so we wouldn't want to mess up anything there. But we may throw in something more subtly that players could use to their advantage!

Question martyrofbread April 23 2011, 01:45:59 UTC

So, I was curious.

The time changed to the 1920's, right? So, if a creature like Kirby pops up somewhere in the middle of town, will people react to him badly, like thinking he's monster or something, like normal 20's people would, or they will be OK with it, since this is Somarium after all? Just wondering (so then I can make his interaction with other people more accurately XD)
