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.

Latest!
Kaiba is going with a straight split into a negative side and a positive side. Heh- as some of you may know... his negative attributes tend to outweigh his positive ones and that will be reflected in how he is perceived in the two different forms.
Kaiba A - This version will seem much like the usual Kaiba only more unhinged, aggressive, and sadistic. Essentially the person Kaiba could have become had there not been outside influences to curtail this. All he's focused on is himself, and he doesn't care who he has to crush to succeed, and will delight in other's misfortunes. Also, he'll dress like a weirdo in all white with this red cape with fur trim.
Santa Claus called and he wants Kaiba to stop taking fashion tips from him. Example. Let's just call him Kaiba for simplicity's sake.Kaiba B - The positive side of Kaiba will take the form of how he was as a small child. He'll be more approachable, and embodies the protective and loyal side of his personality. The one that was more focused on being a big brother and less focused on world domination. As an added bonus he will be lacking the apprehension he was starting to feel towards adults since he left all that paranoia with his crazy quilt side. Example. We'll just call him Seto.
Also, at some "Kaiba" will be on the warpath specifically to eradicate "Seto", so that should be fun!
Once this is all said and done, Seto Kaiba, in his entirety is going to be so drained and feeling like an imbecile for falling into a trap he needed help getting out of. Also it's going to make him examine the darker aspects of himself that are still locked away inside.
