Just your friendly neighborhood Lich King

Its that time of year, Exsilium.

ITS THE FEAST WINTER VEIL

Which is really just Christmas in Warcraft shh.

It also means its PLOT TIME YAY.


So here's the scoop, ladies and gents. On Tuesday, December 11th, an inconspicuous pen will appear in the center of initiate hold, housing all types of adorable little woodland critters (rabbits, squirrels, sparrows, etc) with a sign posted that they are to be adopted and cared for by transports. They're all motherfucking adorable and disturbingly well behaved -- obviously used to awkward interactions. They don't even shy away from you undead types.

Sadly, its not meant to be. On the eve of December 13th, each critter will simultaneously begin to succumb to a strange disease. It will start with lethargy in the early afternoon, passing onward to refusing food and irritation (will will result in biting this is important for the next part) and finally will end in death.

What a nice Winter Veil gift. 3 days just long enough for people to get attached to them.

Within 5 minutes of dying, each creature will resurrect into a flesh-hungry undead creature. They will flee from all hostile movement and will attract hordes of undead that Arthas has been raising and stockpiling since his arrival. Good on you, Exsilium, for dragging the Lord of the Undead on top of a battlefield full of bodies, eh?

That log will go up Friday, December 14th.

Now, if you opt to be bitten by your furry little friend, CONGRATULATIONS. You have now contracted the plague of undeath and will succumb to the same fate as your companion if you are not cured by some form of holy magic within 24 hours time. Undeath takes different forms for every species, so have fun with that if that's something you want to do. If you would like general guidelines, please note that your character will be shifting into a form of lesser undead.

What that means for you is that your character will:

- Lose most/all sense of self
- Gain an insatiable hunger for flesh and blood
- Be compelled to obey Arthas' commands
- Probably be very ugly for the duration of their unlife


Your character will remain this way until killed by another, at which point they will go through the normal resurrection process outlined by the game rules.

There will also be a minor hostage situation as Arthas will be locking down Jaina Proudmoore to prevent her from spilling the beans early.

I will put a general mingle log up on tuesday for people to use to pick up the animals and another on friday for when they all turn and start attacking people.

QUESTIONS? Ask below. B) Feel free to plot fight groups and such amongst yourselves in the comments below as well. I'm not going to organize a formal march on Arthas as he won't be present for most of the attack inside of Initiate Hold, but if someone else wants to head that, I will happily oblige.

Not sure I'll have time this week to fully play out undead Samus (something or something-like-it I'd love to do one day so perhaps I'll keep any CR built from this in mind for that) so she'll probably be sticking with her suit of armor all while this is going down. Doing her thing.

I should note, Samus is the sort who will have little to no reservations shooting down the infected (until she learns healing is an option), if someone was interested in playing out a death or near death situation or what not, she is your lady.

OH HEY SWEET I joked on my application that Chrono wouldn't get a chance to use this in Exsilium but WHADDAYA KNOW.

So Chrono came to the game with a gigantic wooden box containing a bunch of weaponry designed to work against demons and the undead--mostly guns with bullets that basically do holy damage, but also some holy water in vials and "cross barriers" that can be set up to both trap evil enemies behind them and serve as a shield from attacks. I think I'm going to be nice and allow Chrono to avoid being infected, buuuut he'll probably want to share some of his weapons with others since there's more than he could reasonably use at once and he's more of a hand-to-hand fighter anyway.

tl;dr--Who knows how to use a gun and would like some extra fire power to fight against the zombies after they turn? =D
specthis: ([Bemuse] You think you're so cute)

[personal profile] specthis 2012-12-10 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
Shepard would never say no to more fire power. She's also kind of got a "the more guns the merrier" attitude about life.

I don't think I'll be opting for any of my girls to get bitten since one of them is still building up CR and the other is still new. So...

Rika might be getting a bunny and grow attached to it. She'll feel bad for having to kill it, but she will if she has to.

Sophie... I actually don't think she's capable of getting infected because of her artes (Ataraxia) and what she's made of. She might adopt an animal and name it Tiger Festival some weird name. Once it turns undead, she won't want to kill and will probably be all "NOOOOO THERE MUST BE SOME OTHER WAY!!!! :C" Oh yeah, she also has other light-based healing spells. SO SHE CAN HELP WITH THAT TOO!

ELISABET IS DEATH AND THEREFORE WILL BE PRETTY MUCH SAFE FROM ZOMBIE INFECTION because she literally cannot die. She will most likely contract the plague numerous times though and suffer through like a moronic bulldozer without actually DROPPING lmao

SHE WILL ALSO BE SUPER PISSED WHEN THE DEAD START RISING THOUGH and will howl and screech about this entire situation and yell a lot about respecting the dead (AND BLOOD AND SOULS) and killing zombies so

prepare to be on Death's shit list Arthas

Rinoa will want to adopt them all. Sure they're not Angelo, but they're so cute and they clearly need her!!! She's still an FF heroine though, so once they go undead she'll be there to help clear up the mess - magically and otherwise.

Shepard.... could be talked into eventually adopting one of them too. This is the woman who kept fish while attempting to save the galaxy for a second time, okay? It's totally IC for her to do weird stuff on occasion. Once things go south though she'll have no problem ramping up a ton of headshots helping clear out the undead army.

This is going to spark a character shift for him; watch for it. And because of that shift he's legit going on the warpath this time; Screw cowering in the lab, there are people who need protecting.

Gordon has killed his friends-turned-zombies before and, like Samus, will have no reservations about doing it again if he has to. So if anyone wants to play out a situation like that, he's available.

Whelp. Small cute animals that die in three days and turn into monsters. Sonic might have a slight bit of trouble dealing with this. Even Eggman's robotization way back when wasn't endemic to this magnitude.

I'm considering zombifying him, since he'd certainly be dumb caring enough to keep trying to help the little guys even after people tell him to stop.

Pidonus is, fortunately for her, immune to diseases as a racial ability.

She's going to be very happy to kill lots and lots of zombies for experience farming.

... She's not immune to direct soul effects, though, so Arthas could screw with her personally using Frostmourne if he wanted to bother.

EDIT: ... I feel stupid now. Pid's immune to poisons, not diseases. While she is not one for keeping a pet, she is one for being, say attacked by a cat because she's obviously not human to their senses. If you need another Zombie.
