ENDGAME CONTINUES.
Cash-in is now closed; those of you waiting on approvals will receive them shortly! Deets on the HRHRs will be here soon.
More importantly, we have some additional plotting for the upcoming log.
POWER & MEMORY SWAP.
ADIOS, AMIGOS.
And that's a wrap! As always, if you have questions about anything, please ask in the designated thread below!
More importantly, we have some additional plotting for the upcoming log.
POWER & MEMORY SWAP.
Yep, the upcoming log features a power/memory swap. While we're saving the exact details of how it'll happen for the log, we want to give you guys some time to prepare and chat amongst each other before it goes live. So let's talk logistics!
Swappage can go one way or both ways; there's no fine science to it. A character may go entirely unaffected themselves, but discover someone else has obtained one of their memories. Another character might not get anyone's memories, but they may suddenly (and temporarily) acquire superpowers. This doesn't mean that the original character even loses their powers, per se (unless that's your jam), and the characters involved may be friends or they may be complete strangers.
This segment of the plot is opt-in and open to anyone in the game and fourth wall characters.
Characters may only have one power set at a time, so while you can swap powers multiple times, you can't hoard them from multiple sources. However, characters can pick up as many memories as you like until this event resolves.
We have a form for you guys to fill out, for ease of plotting. Only include abilities and memories you're fine with other characters accessing; this can include game memories. If you have any stipulations or clarifications, etc, stick them in the notes section!
Please use this post to communicate and let each other know if you're going to use other characters' powers or memories!
ADIOS, AMIGOS.
The following characters have 24 hours to reply here before they count as idled and dropped from the game.Leonardo Watch (Be excellent to each other, kiddos.watchin)
Vax'ildan (duskmeadow)
Vex'ahlia (faenthras)
Kel Cheris (bivariant)
Thor Odinson (worthyofthunder)
Samus Aran (raisedbybirds)
Travis Touchdown (crownless)
And that's a wrap! As always, if you have questions about anything, please ask in the designated thread below!

William | Westworld
Character: William (
Canon: Westworld
Abilities: L O L...I mean if you want to make your character ambidextrous I guess we can talk to the mods.
Memories: Extended versions/detailed write-ups available for anyone who's interested. ALSO if you're canon familiar and wanna do something that's not on the list hmu, I'll probably be down (as long as it's not after his canon point of 1x5, natch).
Oh and if you want to do...like a thematic memshare with a little montage of memories, let me know what you're interested in and we can make it happen. (THIS IS AN EXCELLENT OPTION IF YOU DON'T WANT TO READ THROUGH ALL THIS SHIT.)
WESTWORLD the robo-theme park he hasn't told anyone in game about! (Everything in these memories—clothes, technology, weapons, whatever—will be period accurate to the Old West, but if your char's sharp they might notice some discrepancies...guests' clothes/equipment is newer than it probably should be, William talks like...an executive at a tech company...etc.)
* Arriving in Westworld (it's basically Utah) via train, being astonished and transfixed by the scope of it
* Discussing “real love” with a prostitute in a brothel (while politely rejecting her advances)
* Baby's first (totally ridiculous) shootout. A lot of this will involve crouching behind a table.
* YOUR CHOICE of conversations with Dolores, either discussing paths in life and being drawn to something beyond what you know, or wanting to change the story of your life (the second feat. awkward attempt at handholding).
* Nitroglycerin heist with Dolores and Ben Barnes. Optional: killing three men who threaten Dolores.
* Getting into a fight with Ben Barnes about human nature and William's ambitions at a WEIRD HBO ORGY WHY (Nb: William and Ben Barnes are both fully clothed for this).
IN GAME duh
* Being eaten alive by a spider.
* Dancing with/being metaphorically eaten alive by Mary Smythe while asking judgmental questions.
* Post-death hallucination involving being a member of the Regency in return for Dolores' eternal love.
* BEING A (virtual) SPIDER and devouring the flesh of your enemies (in order to level up in the virtual world). Warning: you may emerge from this knowing what human flesh tastes like.
* Killing a member of the Regency with poison, then flipping out and trying to revive them.
* Taking care of Dolores while she's in a hiatuscoma :(
HEADCANON/CHILDHOOD SHIT these are really bare bones, but I will definitely flesh them out if anyone's interested
* Watching Ben Barnes' dad/the head of your company humiliate him in front of you at work, with bonus sneaking suspicion that it's being done for your benefit
* William's promotion to executive vice president, feat. him being super lame.
* Proposing ahahahahahahaahah to the fiancee William definitely hasn't mentioned
* Coming home from school to an empty house, reading alone in your room (MANY MORE BOOK MEMORIES AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST)
* Childhood stuff with mom and/or sister, give me a mood or detail for these and I'll come up with something.
Notes: I'm down with him getting either powers or memories (or like, power + someone else's memory of getting or using said power for maximum mindfuckery)! FAIR WARNING IF HE GETS ONE OF YOUR MEMORIES HE WILL PROBS TRACK YOU DOWN AND TRY TO TALK ABOUT IT (TM).

mamoru hijikata. uddup.
Character: Mamoru Hijikata (
Canon: Until Death Do Us Part
Abilities: Uh. I guess... Stupidly physical prowess for a human? He has no superpowers per se, but feel free to make your character suddenly have the immense conviction that they can slice bullets in half. Also I guess a wide knowledge of how to read people’s physical state/capabilities and their weaknesses? They probably have this already, lbr.
Memories:
Oh boy. Here’s a lot you can pick from. I can point you in the right direction of where you should look if you don’t know the canon, but here’s what’s up for grabs (or, if you do know the canon, and you want a memory that isn’t here, let me know). There's also a lot of canon stuff here in the comments if you're not planning on reading the manga (of which I don't blame you)/don't mind spoilers.
Notes: any questions or suggestions hmu hmu sticks leggy out
no subject
1. I want to see the Softer Side of Mams, maybe something with his 12-year-old bride-to-be?
2. I want a memory prior to Mams losing his sight, so William can...maybe work up the nerve to ask what happened. (IT CAN EVEN BE SOMETHING REALLY SIMPLE though I guess it'd have to be clear who the memory belonged to.)

Character: Mordred (
Canon: Fate/
Abilities: See here. tldr: greatly enhanced speed/strength/endurance/etc. The ability to ride almost anything (yes). Swordsmanship on the level of King Arthur, even without years of training/practice.
Memories:
CANON:
- Being given her helmet by her mother, and told to never take it off.
- Camelot, in general. Killing enemies of the king, being on the march, days at court, etc. Literally always wearing her helmet and armour.
- Revealing herself to King Arthur (who looks identical) as his 'son', being denied the throne, and deciding to betray him.

- Contracting with Ryuji while near-death at Gallipoli.
- Being captured and held prisoner by the Regency, along with all the mental torture.
- Fighting a Regency agent in the arena at Jhashch, deliberately sparing his shabti.
- ... Being impaled by Chch in said arena, and the accompanying hallucination.
Notes:
If you're not familiar, the canon memories all come with clips/writeups for the sake of more info! But if you ever wanted to experience life as an angry dipshit for a day, here's your chance.
no subject
I'm here for any of those canon memories so let me know if there's one in particular you'd really like to dig into! Otherwise I guess my picks would be the Reveal to King Arthur, Death at Camlann, Bonding with her former Master :"3c
(no subject)
no subject
but also I want dany to be mordred's master for a hot 5 seconds or something lmao. She'll freak out yelling for Chiron and then get Mordred, won't she. Can you be 2x the master at once? Oh man all those voices in her head hahaha
Daenerys
Character: Daenerys (
Canon: Game of Thrones
Abilities: Fire immunity - you'll survive the flames, but your clothes sure won't! Dragon whisperer???
Memories:
CANON
-Birth of her dragons
-Having Viserys killed
-That terrible scene where Drogo turns into a vegetable, a horse gets killed, and Rhaego dies
-Any memory of flying on Drogon (or the first if you want to see an unruly adolescent dragon knock her on her booty a bunch!)
-A speech if you want to see Dothraki, Unsullied, or her rallying slaves
-Any scene to let you see what Meereen, Essos, or Dragonstone is like
-Likewise any scene where she bonds with her advisors like Barristan, Jorah, MIssandei, or Tyrion!
IN GAME
-Birth of Irriella/waking up to a spider grooming your hair
-Dany getting poisoned in spiderland
-Getting captured by the Regency, the mindfucking by Kebechet (and concurrent vision of her father), and/or her blowing up the Regency base with Mordred
-Kebechet's execution
-Her contract with Chiron
-Getting seduced by Jon Snow I GUESS
Notes:
Like Cassie said above, totally cool if you're not up to date with the show and/or aren't canon familiar. There are generally clips for any of her memorable scenes c:
no subject
Joking aside, I think I would like Jon to see the mindfucking, not only because he's been concerned about Dany on and off as a result of it, but because seeing Aerys would leave a stronger impression on him than ever before.
MEANWHILE: is Dany going to see Viserion go down from Jon's POV? It might be trippy to experience her own arrival from another POV (and feel his surge of hope etc) but seeing Viserion might be interesting. Another one I'd suggest for her might be one of the battle scenes, esp either Hardhome, BotB, or both.

--BECOME HALF HORSE.

Character: Jon Snow (
Canon: Game of Thrones
Abilities:
- Muscle memory of spending almost his entire life training to fight. Be a cool sword person!
- Connection to Ghost: Ghost is back at BASE, so the connection is very tenuous, but this could come in the form of simply being aware of a connection to something far away, feeling hungry for raw meat when you've just eaten, and/or having a strong sense in your dreams that all your siblings except one are dead. (The living one is a "wild sister" followed by "small cousins" and they generally tend to chase the moon and hunt; the dead ones are three brothers and a sister who was the first to go; more specifically, the living one is Nymeria with her pack of regular wolves and the dead ones are Lady, Grey Wind, Shaggydog, and Summer. Ghost is aware of the order in which they died.) There could be a little more here but it would require touching base with the mods (bc it would involve dreams of seeing BASE through Ghost's eyes that aren't actually dreams at all, and it requires approval).
Memories:
Canon:
Most things are up for grabs except for canon sex scenes (he only has two).
There are clips for any of these, which I will link if someone asks.
The more interesting things available are probably:
- Hardhome (his first encounter with the Night King): the intention was to convince a bunch of wildlings to get on boats and travel south of the Wall. The White Walkers attacked as they were loading up the ships. Jon fights, seriously almost dies, learns that his special sword is even more special than he realized, and experiences the complete horror of seeing the full extent of the Night King's abilities for the first time.
- The Battle of the Bastards: real, chaotic medieval melee combat in which Jon saw a sibling die at his feet and then became increasingly savage and bestial in battle. See a giant! Agoge is ending prior to the medieval campaign the mods had initially planned, so this is one way to see that kind of warfare if you want to.
- The Wildling attack on the Wall in 4x09 is also a good one, esp to experience the Wall itself. Smaller scale, lots of archery, not good for the acrophobic. See and defend a 700-foot-tall wall of ice! Fight a super scary cannibal war leader! Also watch your ex-girlfriend die in your arms.
- Get stabbed to death, then raised from the dead. Fun times for all! Two episodes passed while Jon was dead, but for him it was like no time, and it would be incredibly rattling to experience. This comes with a free optional execution of the people who murdered him, but idk, do we really need more executions around here? (End of 5x10, very end of 6x02, a few scenes in 6x03)
- Get acclaimed King in the North! Be incredibly flattered and feel like a lot of your childhood Issues have been redeemed! (Great Council scene, 6x10)
- Meet Daenerys for the first time! She's a demanding hardass.
- See the only known dragonglass cave and view prehistoric cave art! This is beautiful and awe-inspiring. (Cave scene, 7x04)
- Meet and pet a real live dragon! (Jon's encounter with Drogon in 7x05)
- Be trapped on an island in a frozen lake, surrounded by 100,000 ice zombies who you're fighting off as well as you can. Watch Daenerys fly in with all three dragons and be amazed. Watch the Night King kill one of the dragons as if he was killing a fly, and be horrified. Watch him prepare to kill Dany, and urge her to leave, knowing you'll be left behind. (Climax of 7x06)
Game Canon:
- Go be a guard for Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette for a month. Become uncomfortably aware that Antoinette ships you with Daenerys, and try to politely delay the wedding she's planning for you.
- Reunion with Robb.
- Dreams from the dreamshare event (variations on two dreams from the books: the Winterfell Crypts dream that Jon has a lot, and the "armored in black ice with a burning sword" defending-the-Wall dream).
- Gallipoli trench warfare.
- Meeting Ataturk and, along with a bunch of other COST recruits, talking him into a ceasefire.
- Dragokeets deciding to nest in your hair and Chiron coming to your rescue.
- Things related to Irriella, if you are curious as to how an Aranean princess adopted a member of COST from the POV of a reluctant "dad."
- That controversial execution from an insider's slightly discomfited point of view, which would include a nested memory of an earlier conversation with Kebechet.
- Have another idea? If something was handwaved, I will be happy to write out a couple of points or a brief narrative if asked.

Character: Genji Shimada (
Canon: Overwatch
Abilities: So a lot of Genji's abilities are tied to his prosthetics/cybernetics and so they're not easily transferable buuuut let me know if you want your character to suddenly be able to randomly summon a spirit dragon! That's certainly up for grabs.
Memories:
Notes: Feel free to ask any clarifying questions, I'll be happy to go into more detail as needed!

Canon: Inception
Abilities: He's unfortunately a very Normal Human. However, if your character wants some sweet knowledge on how to:
1. Navigate lucid dreaming
2. Shoot a gun real good
3. Fight in zero gravity
Then by all means!
Memories:

Eames | Inception
Character: Eames (
Canon: Inception
Abilities: idk if this works, but it would be fun to play with:
- dream sharing
- forging
lmk if you're interested and we can see!
Memories: Broken up into catergories! Lmk if you're interested in any! More details/clips can be provided
CANON
- Meeting Cobb in Mombasa. (You can see him make fun of Arthur and do a purposefully lazy job at distraction.)
- Seeing Yusuf's dream den, where he, Cobb, and Saito are shown a basement full of people dreaming via PASIV.
- Working on planning inception. Small memories of listening to Cobb, laying out the city, planning with Ariadne, kicking out Arthur's chair from underneath him.
- The airplane, stealing a wallet and setting up the PASIV to begin dreaming, the rain and pretending to want a taxi to get in the same car as their mark.
- Their argument in the warehouse, where Arthur made a mistake and Cobb's been withholding information.
- Eames forging a tall blonde woman, flirting with the mark and stealing a wallet, walking to the elevator and messing with Saito.
- Saito confuses him for the real man he'd forged earlier. They follow him to the suite the team is in, and put the mark under, having convinced him to help them. Eames and Arthur teasing each other before they wake up out in the snow.
- Watch him kick some ass and throw a grenade at a man and have the gall to give him a thumbs-up!
- When they almost give up on inception, and Ariadne convincing them to keep trying because they still have time.
- His fond conversation with Saito, then taking down the dream people at the fortress while planting bombs, resuscitating Robert and watching him in the safe, then blowing up the fortress.
GAME CANON
- His fight with Arthur during the alien dream share thing.
- Hanging with his buds while being miserable at the beginning of Gallipoli
- His argument with a spider that earned him fame.
- Running from his fans - right into John Constantine. Discussing their pipe venture in which Eames negotiates boldly, but kind of laughably.
- A dance with Arthur
- Fighting a Regency member with William
- Getting injured badly during he and Jon's mission.
HEADCANON
- Childhood at grandma's near the beach
- British army training in their version of Project Somnacin, getting stuck in dreams for hours, etc
Notes: I'd love to exchange powers/memories but I'm going to be careful not to overload myself.
