hadriel_ooc | Event OOC: Predator Vs. Prey

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

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Oscar is Fear-affected for this event. He's going to be spending some time at the clinic in the beginning, helping out with cleaning and odd jobs here and there (and if need be, he'll absolutely respond to distress calls requiring an escort to the clinic if no one is available to answer them)! He also knows some first aid thanks to his training from a former staff member, so if you're interested in playing out something like that, or just having a friendly automaton sit by your incapacitated character's bedside for a chat, I'd be happy to oblige!

He's not going to stay put at the clinic, though, since he'll want to fight off the urge to hide and look for other ways he can help. He's an automaton, after all! He'll be looking for the opportunity to help people escape the clutches of the Rage-affected and act as a shield for them, but he won't come across this scenario. He'll look for clinic supplies around the city while trying to avoid crossing paths with the Rage-affected stalking around. He'll look out for people who are injured/hiding/in need of assistance and lend them a hand.

Finally, Oscar's going to get 'killed' by Nathan Drake, and that will be it for him until the event ends. Oops?
