hadriel_ooc | Monthly Rundown: January Edition

Thank you all for an awesome first god resurrection! January heralds in a month where the gods will start to shift around one another and intensify their little tug-o-war with your feelings as Rage finds her place in the god hierarchy of Hadriel.

As always, If you ever have any suggestions or feedback you'd like to offer us mods, remember you can always drop us a line here! Also, please remember to hit up the Current AC post if you haven't done so yet! Characters accepted in December do not require AC proofs, but we do require a check-in on the post!

JANUARY PART 1: IT'S A BIRD! IT'S A PLANE!

As the rage event finally comes to a stop on January 6th, the gods will be taking a short breather in the beginning of the month. That doesn't quite mean that you guys are off the hook, though! As always, the new characters in January will be stumbling into the city on January 10th, along with your new monster- everyone say hello to Ahools, aka: giant bats!

With a wingspan capable of reaching up to 12 feet and an appetite to match, these demonic-looking creatures are more than capable of flight from inside of the caves and carrying the lighter of the characters away in their giant talons. Our advice? Don't try to hide from them- they use echolocation to find their prey, and if they can spot a moth at 40 feet, then they can definitely spot you.

Additionally, our second CR MEME will go up on Tuesday, January 12th!

JANUARY PART 2: BURIED ALIVE

With the Rage event lingering into the beginning stages of January, Fear is finding himself growing a little jealous of all the power she's accumulating just by sort of existing. Therefore, he's going to throw a mini event with the intent of really unearthing all of those buried feelings of fear within your characters.

That's right, on the morning of January 16th, half of the characters in Hadriel will wake up to find that they're... not where they were when they fell asleep. Fear has taken the liberty of burying them alive inside of sturdy wooden coffins. Each coffin is covered by about five feet of earth and while they're large enough to accommodate your characters, they don't leave a lot of room for stretching. Characters who are buried alive will also have their phones with them, along with full access to the network- however, as there is no GPS function on the phone, they will have no way of knowing or communicating exactly where they are buried.

Don't worry though, he wouldn't let you suffocate! Fear will also work his magic to make sure that your air supply doesn't run out right away, resulting in an awesome three days of what he hopes will be perpetuating fear, before he gives up and lets you die. Awesome.

What does this mean for the other half of the game? Well, Hope isn't too happy with Fear's antics, as the idea of everyone dying puts a bit of a strain on his already-weakened powers from the resurrection. Therefore, he will be making a post, broadcasting the locations of where each character is buried- the only problem is, he doesn't seem to know who is buried where. Rage will also contribute to the cause of freeing the buried by stocking her armory with shovels, though she'll be staying out of things for the most part.

To those of you who are buried: have fun communicating with those of you who are not. Try not to starve. Hope you're not claustrophobic!
To those of you lucky enough to be above ground: good luck coordinating an effort to save your buried friends when you don't know which plot it is that they're under. You've got three days before the deaths start rolling in. No pressure!

As a final note to this event, we will be taking volunteers for both buried and not-buried characters. If you have a preference for either position, please let us know under the volunteer header below! New characters accepted in the month of January will also be asked their preference, as this event will occur six days after the intro log. Everyone who has not expressed a preference will be RNG'd into either group, with a focus on making both groups as equal in number as possible.

JANUARY PART 3: EXTINCTION V.1

It's been a few months of accumulating horrific creatures in the bestiary, and frankly, Hope is sick of them terrorizing you guys on a monthly basis. He doesn't have a ton of power since his revival of Rage, but what better way to inspire hope than to kill off some species of animal?

Therefore, on the 24th of January, Hope will be making a post, requesting that characters go into the caves and try to eradicate the monsters that have been lurking there. For each monster killed by a character, Hope will give them something nice- eradication of a species will bring a blessing! Like the scavenger hunt event, this will be purely optional, but Hope would definitely appreciate it, and fewer monsters in the caves sounds like a win/win for everyone, right?

Bury this fucker.

He can't teleport where he can't see, only one person would want to rescue him and he will be bored instead of afraid and yell at Fear and all of this is A+.
