Player Plot: Gate of Truth Part 2
Hey guys, it's about a month till this gate plot goes live, so I figured it was a good time to update on the previous post I made and talk about some more details on the plot.
So the original post can be found at this link. The TL;DR version of it is:
1. Pride wants to open Empatheias own "Gate of Truth" to return to his world.
2. He requires a person's amulet representing each deity as a means to make a strong connection to the Arehtei. The amulets will be drained from the process and I'm leaving that to the players to decide how much is drained. There is a penalty from amulets being drained, but it's a less severe version of the death penalty. Basically, it takes a little more effort to recover emotion drops that were lost and it's part of the game mechanic so it can't be avoided.
3. This will fail and Pride will die after everything has been said and done. I'll be using this opportunity to also canon update him to post-death...ish. So he'll totally think he was successful for a while. Those who volunteer themselves to be candidates will suffer a massive emotional drain after the attempt. Your character will basically be unable to feel anything for a while and that's up to the players to decide how long you want that to last, but keep it reasonable.
4. The in-game date will be FEB 12th, Friday when this happens, but I'll be posting a log up a few days before then.
Who do I need?
As of right now I have:
Peromei - Roy Mustang (This is locked for plot related reasons)
Elios - Enoch
Sosyne - Edward Elric
Piphron - Renne Hayworth
Aiada - Shuu Tsukiyama
Thras - Hibiki
Daimonia - Rose
You're free to volunteer yourself even if someone has taken the spot, I'll just lottery it to decide who becomes the candidate. If by some chance characters haven't met either Pride or Wrath by plot time, we can easily handwave that they became acquainted at some point (It's more or less just an in-game reason Pride worked out they're a good candidate).
NOW FOR NEW STUFF.
As of right now, I plan to have the log separated into three different sections.
[SECTION 1 - Pre-gate summoning/Kidnapping/Amulet Stealing]
This section for any scenes you want to play out before Pride attempts to summon the gate. This is where candidates can choose to either have just their amulet taken or kidnapped. Fights are totally allowed, but in the end, Pride or Wrath needs to take your character's amulets.
If you choose to have your character kidnapped, they will be brought to a discreet location where all of the missing locals have been held. They've been brutally experimented on and kept alive in order for their amulets to be of use. All of them will be blindfolded or had their eyes removed. So if you don't want to expose your character into this sort of horror, I don't recommend this route. As for how many locals are in there...mmm, probably about 20-30people.
If you have others ideas on how you want the amulet taking should happen, I'm cool with trying to make it work.
[SECTION 2 - Gate Summoning]
This is going to be limited to a small amount of people. This is for people who will be present at the site of the gate summoning. As of right now, it's Pride, Wrath, Alphonse and Mustang at the site, possibly Edward Elric as well. So I think at most,one more person can be present. Your character would be there to try and interfere with the summoning, or maybe your character is connected to one of the candidates and they're seeking vengeance. A fight could break out, although because of the urgency of the summoning, it can turn pretty violent. Good place if you want your character be seriously injured or killed.
[SECTION 3 - Rescuing the locals and candidates]
This is going to be related to a task board that will be going up next month and will be open to anyone. There will be a report about a number of locals going missing and amulets being stolen. Characters are free to hitch a ride here to locate said missing people. As for where they are, they've been relocated outside of the city underground. The entrance will be somewhere east of Lake Niras.
This is also a place for anyone who volunteers to be kidnapped can thread out their situation. Candidates will be discovered after the summoning, so they'll be a vegetable when help arrives.
Annd that's all the new stuff I got. Any questions or interest in volunteering feel free to drop me a comment.

Riza should be there for the gate summoning simply to keep with canon issues and maximum she's going to hurt all of you for this. Nearly killing her first is also okay.
