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

So, surprising no one I'm sure, Ivar is going to be affected by Rage this event. (Hey, he already provides plenty of that emotion for her in his day-to-day life.) So the thing about Ivar is that while he's generally full of fury and anger at any given moment, he's usually held back from his desire to pillage, destroy, and kill everything around him because of his legs. The pain and stamina it takes to do battle wears him out pretty fast since he's in constant pain no matter what he does. So this god blessing is perfect for him, so he's just gonna turn into a Viking berserker. Someone remind him to sleep once in a while.

Anyone want to be killed or have their characters severely messed up? Or just have him destroy your home as a side effect of trying to hunt you down? Also kinda into the idea of him teaming up with other predators for some interesting CR.

Please please please can we have Sonya team up with him? Her combat skills focus a lot on agility, and so she could go/climb up places were he's not able to-between her climbing/scaling and his mental abilities.

Sound fun?

Yes, we will definitely have to do this!! They've got both sides of the coin covered.
