Event OOC: Predator Vs. Prey

[hadrielmods]

THE RUNDOWN

Rage is- well, angry, and what better way to express her anger than by blowing up Fear's temple? Fear was the one who should have been protecting Delight, after all, and so he should suffer, right?

Well, that's Rage's idea, and on March 13th, Fear's temple will be exploding, sending shrapnel and flames spewing out of the general area, so you might want to watch out for that! As a ramification, intended or not, the city will be divided into Predator- or rather, Rage's faction- and Prey- belonging to Fear.

Both factions have their corresponding god blessings for the duration of the event:

► Predators: Will have Battle Ready, a boost to physical strength and stamina. Pain is numbed and reflexes are faster, putting the user in an adrenaline-fueled state ideal for fighting and tracking down their prey.
► Prey: Will have Fear Itself, a power to create minor illusions, generally of things that their target fears. Only the intended target of this power can see the illusion, but it could be enough to distract your predator long enough to make an escape!

The predators in this event will be seeking to kill their prey, and the prey can respond however they wish- by running, hiding, or even turning the tables and trying to kill their hunters first.

On March 21st, everything will go back to normal!

THE DETAILS

This is an opt-in event! Predators are only interested in hunting prey- those who opt-out of the event are not targets.

Characters can work in groups or alone, and those who opt-out can always participate as well, by helping anyone on either side to achieve their goals of murdering or- you know, not being murdered. The blessings will start off at full strength, but in the final 3 days of the event (March 19th-21st) they will begin to wind down, operating on less and less power as the energy from the explosion finally dissipates. All blessings will be gone at the end of the event.

Any deaths that happen as a result of this event will be revived by Hope shortly thereafter, and whether or not you want your character to still be affected post-revival (or if you'd like them to swap sides) is up to you!

THE OVERVIEW

► March 13th: Rage destroys Fear's temple
► March 21st: Everyone goes back to normal

okay i feel like this is the culmination of my life's work in this game, but

so over the amount of time Alphys has been here, she's accumulated:

- Roughly 4 Null weapons, which would work with a power source
- One of the sonic Null disruptors
- A bunch of scrap which has recently been replenished thanks to the expeditions
- Welding and building material, and more recently, salvaged wiring from the bunker

So my question is. Could Alphys feasibly build a murder machine? I'm thinking something like this but considerably smaller, closer to the size of a regular person. I also COMPLETELY understand if this is pushing it too far but by god I have to know.

EDIT: okay I actually finally found a better image to describe what I mean here, I'm thinking more something like this, like. we are not talking something shiny. The only thing is it would have to have an enclosed cockpit to keep her warm and have a limited duration outside- she'd have to charge it up between uses and it could absolutely be taken down in the same way you could break pretty much any mechanical thing, with enough force.

With her gathered materials and skills, Alphys can absolutely build a murder machine.

thank you for allowing me access to deathbot 1.0, alphys will be terrified with herself after this but At Least It'll Be Good To Fight The Null With Huh
