Event Plotting Post: The Walls of Jericho

[thelostmods]

Greetings, residents of the Meadous and vistors! Our 4th Wall event is right around the corner. To help facilitate this, we’ve pulled together some world descriptions and FAQs that should help anyone coming to visit the Meadous and surrounding godling lands get situated. For this event, We the Lost will be allowing:

• Straight from Canon Characters
  
• CRAU Characters
  
• CRAU or Straight from Canon Characters that have been AU’d into a Godling Realm

TL;DR - We the Lost is having a 4th Wall Event. It will take place ICly over a two-week period and open up seven additional godling realms to explore. Any and all characters are welcome for this event, be they straight from canon, CRAU, or CRAU’d into a godling realm.

THE WALLS OF JERICHO

The Events Calendar post for the plot is HERE

First and foremost, what is this event? We the Lost is a CRAU Slice of Life game set in the realm of a young godling. Every young godling in the WtL-verse develops a world unique to them and pulls people in to populate it and help them grow. Each godling is influenced by their ‘flock,’ although they all have some basic personality traits that help them make their initial flock selection. The characters in WtL have so far given their godling a name: Zephyr, and a form that changes with the seasons.

Godling worlds are small to start and they expand as the power of the godling expands. There is also a barrier placed around each world, something that separates the godlings’ pocket universes from one another and protects the population from the dangers that run rampant between the worlds. Once a god is mature enough, their barrier will come down. Until that happens, though, the wall is kept in place, holding the inhabitants in and the rest of the world out.

On January 30th, an event on the plane of the gods will shatter the barriers between worlds, breaking down the walls and exposing nearby godling realms to one another as well as the spaces between.

This event will have three effects:

1. There will be an unexpected and unmanageable ‘pull’ out in the multi-verse that will drag in characters straight from canon or from other games and drop them into unsuspecting godling lands.
   
2. Characters already within godling realms will be ‘flung’ across their own plane and may wind up in a different godling world than the one they started in.
   
3. Travel between worlds will be possible.

This effect will last for two weeks (until February 13th) when the god plane will sort itself out, the barriers will be restored, everyone from the godling worlds will be put back in the right place, and anyone brought straight from canon or another game will be returned ‘home.’

The godlings will be frantically trying to sort out the situation on the god plane with the older gods and will be largely unavailable. However, they may check in now and again. More information on each of the gods and their worlds is provided below. the worlds open during this event will include:

• The Meadous - Realm of Zephyr - Flock Qualities: Lost
  
• Ajras - Realm of an Unnamed Godling - Flock Qualities: Musical, Upbeat, Adventurous
  
• Midnight - Realm of an Unnamed Godling - Flock Qualities: Nocturnal, Dual Natures, Hidden Sides
  
• The Sunset Circus - Realm of an Unnamed Godling - Flock Qualities: Fearful, Young, Misfits
  
• Samudra - Realm of an Unnamed Godling - Flock Qualities: Unique, Flashy, Prideful, Confident
  
• The Wild West - Realm of Ara - Flock Qualities: Inventors, Healers, Builders
  
• Aria - Realm of Lalilia - Flock Qualities: Caregivers, Parents, Builders
  
• Willowhispers - Realm of Tyvn - Flock Qualities: Artists, Misanthropes, Tech Savvy

WtL DOES NOT have a network comm. To facilitate communication for this event, a universal ‘Bulletin Board’ will be put up where people in different realms will be able to communicate.

Papyrus | Undertale

[nyeh_heh_heh]

Papyrus is going to be an inhabitant of Samudra! Because clearly he is THE UNDISPUTED BEST. Any godling would be pleased to have him.

This noisy skeleton hails from Undertale, where he is a Royal Guard-in-training who is not...actually very good at his job. He's very tough and passionate about doing what he does, but he's also too compassionate about that passion. Meaning he couldn't hurt a fly. He has a lot of fun trying to capture humans, though!

Papyrus has been in Samudra for about a year, and he has appointed himself as guard of the city, policing various stations around the edge of town to make sure that everyone is aware of the dangers out there. He may have also tried to install puzzles and fences, since he can't be everywhere at once! But those don't work very well. Just swim around them.

His one disappointment with this place as that while he was allowed to bring his shiny red sports car, he still has nowhere to drive it. So it remains in his room, where he uses it as a bed instead of the one provided to him. Conveniently, he has a spare bed, if anyone needs it!

His pleas to have an above-water racetrack built have gone unanswered... But he keeps trying to wish for it anyway. Daily. Sometimes more.

Ever since the rule was posted about inappropriate material being prohibited, he also tends to police the billboard screens. Some residents have resorted to using innuendo, which goes straight over his head.

[thewindhowls]

/SUPLEXES FONDLY

Undyne is definitely going to find herself in watertown she misses water that isn't a flash flood, thx Ara. She is going to be supremely excited and worried about this goofus when she sees him. Like I said on plurk, she'll probably threaten anyone who looks at him funny.

She's missed her friend, ok, ok.

[nyeh_heh_heh]

Wowie! He's going to be so excited to see Undyne again!

Prepare yourself for lots of talk about how he is making things so safe in water town! Which reminds him a lot of Waterfell! Because there's a lot of water!

And maybe he can visit some places where he gets to actually meet the sun! Where it's not filtered by two miles of ocean above him.

[shri]

Hello there, I have rebel queen who would very, very happily go on guard duty with him, and maybe help him keep out of trouble???? After she stops staring at him being a skeleton for awhile.

Also be super comfortable hurting things if he can't..... :TT

[nyeh_heh_heh]

It's ok, he's going to be super excited that he gets to be friends with another human. At least, she looks like a human! She is like a taller version of Frisk and also not a rock.

He is going to insist on being Captain of the Guard, but she is welcome to join! He will also insist that if anything dangerous gets into the city, they have to capture it and release it back out into the open water. Because that's how being a guard works.

But please, yes, keep him out of trouble... It' a full time job and he needs it.

[despiteeverything]

Okay but what if Frisk turned up here at some point to give you even more reason to censor the billboards, Papyrus. No cursing in front of the smol...

THEY'D BE REALLY HAPPY TO SEE HIM THOUGH. One of their family that they've missed most.

[nyeh_heh_heh]

He would be really happy to see them, too! Finally someone who appreciates his puzzles! And won't just swim around them! Probably!

I still haven't decided on a point to have pulled him from, but it'll definitely be after his befriending of inability to capture Frisk. I keep waffling between neutral end or good end or something before all that...

[theangryvideogamenerd]

I am sure Papyrus has to tried to deal with The Nerd more than once because of the Nerd's long angry swear filled rants on the message board can go.

Re: Papyrus | Undertale

[nodermanation]

hey bro.

Sans will be excited to see you Pap, lbr. Although he will play it off as being cool and collected.

[whiteknightnecromancer]

Dorian is going to be a CRAU version from snowblindrpg, a frozen hellscape where he died after outliving his friends. This is a huge improvement.

For those not familiar with Dragon Age, Dorian is a mage from a pseudo-Roman/Byzantine Empire mashup. Dragons aren't actually a huge part of his setting. It's focused more on demons, possessions, the undead, politics, and religious disputes.

Dorian is pretty flashy and can come across as arrogant or condescending. He loves knowledge for its own sake and is very interested in learning about people and where they come from. He tries to get along with most people if occasionally ineptly.

[preuxchevalier]

Ah! I'm so glad you're coming for the fun. I'm going to be throwing Snowblind!House into Willowhispers from right before he gets killed, so they might be able to meet up, eventually, in one world or the other.

I'd also really love to throw my We the Lost character Bertie Wooster at you. He's an upper class twit who is best friends with a necromancer in the game who would find Dorian's world and magic fascinating... even if he really won't understand most of it. He's eager and willing to listen and ooo and ah like an attentive audience, though.

lakshmibai | the order: 1886 | straight outta canon

[shri]

Lakshmibai is going to be coming straight from canon, and be very very confused about everything. But also, armed so that will make her feel better.

She's a queen, turned rebel leader, immortal, hunter of werewolves & vampires and number one cause of massive property damage to england. Her canon is set in the steampunk alternate history world where the supernatural is very much part of society, and werewolves are an everyday problem in london. Lakshmi is the queen of a kingdom in northern India, but the British took it off her, also infected it via the United India company with vampires, objecting to both these things, she took up arms and has in one form or another, been fighting them first in India, then in England after she faked her own death ( heroically in battle, ofc ).

She's that special kind of arrogant rulers often are, pretty snarky, and supremely confident in her cause and very unrepentant about the things she's blown up. She will try to do her very best by her godling, and look to be as active member of his flock as she can. She'll be a little on edge about not being able to continue her underground war, but as long as she can keep busy, she'll be calm.

She will be very curious, and interested in poking everything, at a bit of a loss with the technology, and looking for work in something that will keep her active and her senses sharp. Also, inclined to stab first and ask questions later if anyone happens to be a werewolf or vampire. She's not very sorry about that knee jerk reaction, so if anyone would like to mess around with that, bless, feel free! Also she will be happily exploring and going swimming around the caves themselves.

[hoonter]

I HEARD SOMEBODY SAY WEREWOLF HUNTER AND I CAME RUNNING.

Eileen comes from a city that very much has a monster (particularly a wolf monster, but there are other kinds of monsters as well) problem. On the night in which she was brought from canon, in fact, the beasts outnumbered the people by quite a large number. Of the monsters in Yharnam, Eileen specifically hunts other monster hunters who have either been turned or who are about to turn. That's been her life for the past several decades, before she was brought to Aria.

Unfortunately, Eileen is most certainly not immortal, and she's she's really showing her age (she's in her sixties in canon, but after 4 years of being in Aria she'll be almost seventy).

Anyway, it'd be cool to have these two meet! They can talk about the more troublesome monsters they've dealt with and exchange war stories. Also they can discuss which of the monsters in this place are off limits and which should probably be hunted

[inruins]

clearly Lakshmibai is cool as hell. Thus needs to be completely freaked out by a giant goat monster approaching her or bumping into her accidentally. The walls are down and Toriel is probably exploring what she can.

I am down for this business to go bad with Toriel playing defensively and trying to calm the situation down, yo.

Zed | Ressha Sentai ToQGer | The Games CRAU

[whydoyoushine]

So this guy is going to be coming straight out of a stint in thegames, where he remained remarkably unaffected by being forced to participate in murdergames and even had a good time of everything. This would be in part because Zed is a villain who calls himself the Emperor of Darkness and runs a whole train line full of shadow monsters.

He's got all the qualities this godling looks for, and he's not too bothered by being here. He's probably a local pain in the butt for everyone, as his obsession with shiny things can easily make him annoying. He discovered body glitter in the Games and made a nuisance of himself with it, so he's likely ended up accidentally covering everything in glitter once or twice here, and he has also been seeking to create water-resistant body glitter. Glitter: it's important.

Re: Zed | Ressha Sentai ToQGer | The Games CRAU

[vikingstrain]

Jeeves disapproves of him. Say what you will of Mr Wooster's friends, but they did not shed glitter everywhere they went.

Theo Crawford | OC | Formerly Mayfield and WtL

[sanctus_dei]

HEY. Anyone remember this guy? I guess he was too good for the gods to leave alone. Or something. Anyway, he'll be here, being that he thinks knows he's the best damn necromancer money can buy. He's also smarter than you. SO THERE.

He'll also be his usual bowl full of rainbows and unicorns self. And by that I mean he'll be bitching up a storm about getting dragged somewhere again, while being quietly happy about not being dead once again.

Dakota "Codi" Perkins | OC

[maskedtyrant]

OC THE THIRD. This is Codi, one of several characters I'm going to be dragging here from Elementverse; the simple world description is a modern semi-utopia and also there are superpowers, naturally there's more comprehensive worldbuilding info on Codi's journal is anyone's curious. She's been brought to Samudra straight from canon, probably at one of the later points where she's built her own superhero organization as the Tyrant and is just starting to take in new recruits. Codi is mostly a figurehead for this organization--she has the power to generate electricity but isn't very good at controlling it, so most of her work is just being in charge and negotiating with other companies to stay out of her way.

Codi has been in Samudra for the better part of two years and has more or less maintained her previous position. She would have been very adamant about having her company returned to her at first--naturally keeping its true nature and her powers a secret--until she settled in more and realized the types of people being brought in and the scale of the world and the mutliverse in general, at which point she would quickly switch tracks to oversee this world instead. Codi envisions herself as the hero of every story and actively works towards making this a reality, usually through very political means: She's a busybody, she makes herself the center of attention wherever she goes, and she knows how to make debts and use them to her advantage to try and get people exactly where she wants them to be (usually under her thumb, if she can help it). (Un)fortunately Codi doesn't quite have the patience to pull this off most of the time on her own. She'll have spent most of her time here attempting to cultivate followers to do her bidding while she develops schemes to curry favor with their friendly Collector and the residents in general; by now she'll have had the most success with a sport fishing business, where she sends Samudra's gullible bravest citizens to swim into the depths and bring back the biggest, baddest creatures they can find to the viewing dome so she can shock the piss out of them and sell them as trophies. How much success is "the most success" is up for debate.

Sherlock Holmes | A Study in Emerald

[restorationist]

There are many Sherlock Holmeses out there in the multiverse, but this one in particular is from a world where, centuries ago, the Gods of the Deep rose up and subjugated humanity, bending the populace to their unfathomable will. Sherlock is one of the scattered few humans who have refused to accept this fate, and has dedicated his life to destroying the Old Ones.

I'm sure you can see where this is going already.

Sherlock's been around since around the beginning, but most of Samudra's inhabitants probably know him instead as Sherry Vernet the stage actor, since introducing himself as "Sherlock Holmes, wanted fugitive and kingslayer" seemed unwise. He's smart enough not to openly broadcast his distaste at being kidnapped and collected by a creature of the pit even more powerful than the ones he sought to overthrow back home, but on the off chance you're someone who's both sympathetic to the cause and good at being discreet it's possible he's told you more about where he comes from and who he is.

But to most he's just Sherry, a good and loyal royalist from an older time who accepts that it's humanity's place to be ruled and guided by betentacled gods from below. If there's a playhouse in the city he likely makes his living there. He's an excellent actor, you know. Come and see him sometime.

Re: Sherlock Holmes | A Study in Emerald

[vikingstrain]

Would Sherlock/Sherry like a highly intelligent associate with very few scruples when it comes to achieving the results he wants, that for the first few months of their association wore a horse-shaped body?

Reginald Jeeves | Jeeves & Wooster (My Little Jamjar CRAU)

[vikingstrain]

Jeeves has been a resident of Samudra nearly since day one--although he was in a rather more equine shape at that point. He has, however, since wished himself back into a human being.

A gentleman's personal gentleman--that is to say, a valet--from 1920s Britain, Jeeves has been enjoying a somewhat more leisurely life than he had in his previous employment. That isn't to say that he's idle. Oh no, nothing of that sort. But he hasn't found another employer here in Samudra (and might in fact be carrying something of a very quiet torch for his old master, one Bertie Wooster.)

A great deal more subtle than many of his fellows in Samudra, Jeeves never-the-less has more than enough pride to earn him a place here--and he's nothing if not unique.

(He may or may not be trying to maneuver himself into a position where he can be the true power behind the throne of Samudra.)

The Nerd | AVGN

[theangryvideogamenerd]

He goes by the name of 'Nerd', he swears often and loudly. He has wished for his game collection and has them, so he often posts his reviews over the network.

He is a very unique individual to put it lightly and doesn't censor what is on his mind. If he has any friends its surprising, lbr.

Probably has said the following at least once:
'FUCK THIS OCEAN, FUCK THIS MULTIDIMENSIONAL BULLSHIT AND FUCK THIS GOD WHO BROUGHT US HERE"

Haruto Soma | Kamen Rider Wizard (The Games CRAU)

[wizardplease]

Haruto is a flashy ring-wearing wizard with cool magical powers and a cool magical transformation... who has spent a little over a year dying repeatedly in a death game and then fighting in a war in a place called Panem. It has been very hard on him, and he is not sure if he is grateful to be away from it all, or if he should be somehow trying to get back to it so he can set it all right.

He's been here for about a month, and is starting to settle in the slightest bit. He's very good at pretending that everything is fine even when everything is very much not fine, so the other residents have likely found him to be a grinning, pleasant, charming kind of guy who is quick to make a joke and just as quick to excuse himself when the conversation threatens to get too deep.

Re: Haruto Soma | Kamen Rider Wizard (The Games CRAU)

[silberfuchs]

Out of context Games rejects running into each other while exploring y/y?
