Event Plotting Post: The Walls of Jericho

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.

AND THE LAST ONE (that's being AUed anyway, whoops). This is Rick, 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 Rick's journal if anyone's curious. Rick is being brought to Aria straight from his spot in very late-canon after the superhero organization that his wife started has begun picking up new recruits for training.

Rick has never been the dominant force within his circle of friends or this business--he's meek, easily manipulated and frequently crumbles under pressure--but he still works in the background as a vigilant supporter whose primary goal has always been to make people happy and help them the best he can. This extends to his abilities as well: Rick is a nontraditional shapeshifter who takes in the souls of dying animals and harbors them in his own mind, letting them live through him by taking on their form. When he was brought to Aria he could turn into a housecat, Rusty; a collie, Toby; a horse, Laurence; a tiger, Mittens; and a juvenile tyrannosaurus, simply known as "the Dinosaur." Since he arrived four years ago, maybe he's picked up other forms? That might be neat to consider.

As in life, Rick mostly sticks to the background here and does otherwise menial tasks to keep the world neat and tidy and a pleasant place to live, such as tending to the birds or repairing structures damaged by wind and whatnot. His animal forms sometimes get into more trouble; Rusty in particular has probably attempted to terrorize the flock and the Dinosaur is...the Dinosaur. Generally well-behaved but kind of restless and hard to miss when he's out. Rick likely spends most of his time playing with and caring for Lalila honestly--like the little chimera rat baby he never had. So sweet.

Poor Rick. Hes got his work cut out for him, because apparently some of his world-mates have been less-than-stellar influences on Lalilia's development.

Sorry bruh.

Eileen is probably civil enough in Rick's direction, but she keeps her distance when he's in any of his animal forms and takes notes of the trouble they get into. It takes her a hella long time to trust him because there's something inherently untrustworthy about a man who changes into beasts at will, but she's almost certainly warmed up to his human from by now.

I'd like to think Bigby and Rick are pretty friendly tbh. His chill personality in contrast to everyone else's makes her more relaxed around him. He probably vaguely reminds her of Flycatcher thus she can't help but be kinda relaxed around him. Will aggressively protect him.

They of course also tussle as giant animals. Bigby as the big bad wolf and Rick as whatever he's in the mood for.
