Player Event: "Imbalance" Info & Plotting

Ollo, Songerein! Happy (almost) September! For the new folks coming in soon, I'm Ami or Donut! Either one works, it's fine. Got a player plot dreamscape idea cooked up, so I'm going to go ahead and unleash it upon the masses. Let's get started with the context and follow with the details:

Madhuri has been working on her dreamwalking abilities for a while, and has discovered that- if she can recite a song she'd heard via her Echo- she gains a magical girl costume of that particular opponent she had faced as well as a facsimile of their elemental powers to aid her depending on the situation.

Recently, she has been dreaming of a strange palace and a strange song... one that she feels compelled to try out and see what happens.

The problem is thus: Not only is Nald'thal, the subject of the tune, a major deity as opposed to the minor primals she'd defeated before, but they are twin gods representing a balance, keepers of the realm of both the living and the dead. How does a girl dress as two at once?

Simply put, she can't. The result is a dreamscape resembling a sprawling ancient temple lit by red-gold sunset, lined with torches of orange and blue. Crystal lanterns all through Reverein will glow and draw dreamers in (if you'd like to participate, of course).



What's the catch? Gimme the gimmick.

Dreamers brought into the dreamscape can be split into two, becoming two individuals holding half of their personality. For example, someone that has been split can have one of them bearing all their positive personality traits while the other bears all their negative. Two halves of a whole. Or, if you're nasty, one can be how they are publicly, and the other can be something akin to a shadow, of traits they aim to keep to themselves or deny.

In short, you can easily treat this as a soft Shadow event, for you Persona kids out there. The appearance of each half of your character and what personality traits reside in which is entirely up to you.

To fix the problem and restore a character in full, dreamotion is key. Positivity, acceptance or simply kicking their butt to show you care is enough to have two halves combine and become the whole person again.

This dreamscape will occur over the course of one in-game night on September 10th, when the log will go up, to facilitate lots of time to plot out or finish threads by month's end. This is a fabulous opportunity for new friends to reveal their uglier or even softer sides, or for one to face their inner demons.

Any questions? Feel free to leave them beneath the handy-dandy "Questions" toplevel within and I'll answer as quick as I can. Otherwise, feel free to use this entry to organize plots.

You just got wrecked! ...I mean, Rob

Oh. Oh this is perfect for Rob!

So there is Seasons 1-early 3 Rob who is a friendly junior high school student. Also a tall lanky cyclops but still! Kind of sticks to the background but will still be part of groups and wants to have fun. He can get mad if you completely forget his name though.

Then there is villain Rob whose body is totally messed up after some surprisingly awful crap for a kid's animated sitcom. I think I will have him specifically be in his Dr. Wrecker persona from Season 4, where he tries to be a more classic supervillain-type. Also his voice is completely different while he uses this name as per the show, played by the late David Warner. Gumball changed it with their TV remote. Set it to English for the accent, you know.

This may be a good opportunity for anybody who's met Rob and wondered about his backstory to find out. Especially since he hasn't dreamwalked much so most people haven't seen his original body yet. Or if you want to meet Rob and realize how much baggage he has!

I am not sure about how I'd like to have it resolved either, so please plot with me~
