EVENT PLOTTING: THE BATTLE FOR OSKA

[futurologists]

OH, SHIT Disaster strikes! And that disaster is named Zymandis. After spending weeks in Terra Felis, Cassie announced what the real problem was with Oska: the rifts were manually shut down to prevent any new Zymandis agents from filtering in while their shields were down. Now that Audentes is back in Oska, it's time to get to work. Destroy the Zymandis robots (and whatever fleshy agents teleported in, too) and reset the shielding so we can put this nightmare behind us and move on with saving the multiverse.

Daenerys was made to destroy things in fire and blood, so she'll be as much in her element as a fantasy queen in a high tech setting can be. You'll find her in:

* Aerial support. Expect clever maneuvers mixed in with rampant robot destruction. She will rope anyone, possibly multiple anyones in to help her if they seem useful from above. Need a dragon rescue or assist? She's there. I'm also open to team-ups.
* I also plan to have an explosion/shrapnel accident transpire, injuring Drogon. He'll be okay, but she'll need to land at some point and try to pull something out of him. At which point she may need some cover!! Drogon can't breathe fire at things and sit still to have metal pulled out of him at the same time.
* Lastly, pulling things out of your literally hot-blooded dragon results in some burned fingers. Some bandaging post-fight would be ideal!

Arima will probably be destroying shit. Or giving protection to those that need it. His quinque can get rid of the smaller robots in large groups thanks to its remote activation ability. So if anyone wants to team up or kill stuff together, Arima is here for you!

Reika will be regaining her God Arc with Riza's help, so after that she'll be a force to be reckoned with. Her duty back in her world is to fight monsters ten to twenty size larger than she is, so this is practically home territory for her. Her weapon can chew through matter and will probably be taking large bites out of robots. It looks rather terrifying though :'D I enjoy writing fight scenes, so come hit me up if you'd like our characters to team up!

At first she'll be guarding the healing area, but after that she'll be pushing to the frontlines due to her familiarity with larger targets. She'll also be experiencing overload due to not having used her bioweapon for three months, so I'd also like to do a few threads with her injured. She needs not only to be healed but purified so we have a lot to work with.

My exams end in five days so after that I'll be ready to go. Feel free to hit me up at haemoglobin!

Giovanni Will be getting stuck right in there using both pistols and bare hands for tearing robots and fleshy attackers apart alike. He has 3x human speed, strength and agility paired off with increased bone density and autonomic regeneration, so can basically regrow limbs and even recover from headshots, so he also makes a pretty decent meatshield should anyone need one. Step behind him, friend, he'll protect you and promises not to bite.

He'll be pretty manic and ferocious in his attacks because he really needs to get this out of his system ahah ;;

so i'm technically on hiatus for most of this month, and nami is on a hiatus mission and thus won't be around in oska —

but stiles will be around and will be dividing his efforts between shielding those taking down the robots and going around resetting the shielding, in which case he can totally shield himself from any robots shooting lasers at him but can't really take them down so some help might be appreciated. using his barriers so much will exhaust him completely, though that matters little to him...

in the aftermath he'll be helping with rebuilding so if you want to convince him to maybe rest at some point that'd be great. he'll also go around checking up on people so if you want to either thread that out or handwave it lmk!!

i won't be making any open top levels because of the aforementioned hiatus, but i can throw stiles at u and urs or write closed starters if anyone wants one c:

To start with, I feel like Sakura would probably pick speed from the blessing? Just since she is generally more support oriented in her personality than using brute force most of the time if anything. But yeah, Sakura will probably initially help on the front lines, so to speak, making use of her cards offensively against the robots. Probably mostly restraining them with Windy, Wood, or using Thunder against them? Specially if she sees the robots going for her friends.

But once they set up an area for the medics, she'll help out there, using her ALASTAIR healing (major) in helping out her bff Sieglinde. She'll also be able to help offensively in defending the medics too if necessary. This will probably be how she ends up playing support, more than going after the nodes. Maaaybe playing escort to a few nodes on the side where things quiet more if there's a chance between it all if someone needs?

Otherwise, relaxing. They have all earned it and then some. Someone stop the barely teen from exhausting herself helping with the rebuild until they leave for the next crisis. I mean mission.....

[assent]

To start Sonia will have visited the kitty queen and got the strength boost, partly because she has a spell that increases her speed so she can run like usain bolt for 5 min intervals but it's enough when combined with other attacks. She also has a dark magic spell (that she will be aiming at robot joints to hopefully weaken them so she can slice off an arm or two :) ) and the blood art she got from Reika so she will be concentrating on taking down robots. Any robot. All robots. Fuck you, Zymandis basically.

If she comes across someone trying to activate a node she'll help, but even with the peaceful feeling from the kitty queen she's been wanting to kick some zymandis ass for a while now so

I won't be top levelling this time so please lmk if you want to do something! I can either tag you or do a closed starter. I just have a busy month this month and want to ensure I don't overdo it cries

for aftermath stuff she can only do so much to rebuild but she'll try to do what she can! It might mostly involve delivering things to people working or just being an assistant of some kind though [bleak] otherwise she'll be in the library doing more research on stuff bc when does that ever end

[winces]

olivia will be providing healing support throughout the entire excursion. she is a tiny fleshy human whose only offensive skillsets would be no match for these robots... though she'll definitely wield her knife and sword around to fend off any of the more vulnerable zymandis agents teleporting in. specifically, olivia will:

• pop in and out to provide healing for those fighting in the field, running to the nodes, and seeking shelter in the library
• kill any non-robotic zymandis agent she comes across 8)b
• idk probably overwork herself and pass out in the middle of it
• after the fight, in between healing and all that, she will refocus her attention on helping the kitchens make food for all the wounded and weary
• she will also spend nights singing and/or dancing* for those who are helping with the rebuilding efforts

*olivia's dancing has the ability to "boost the morale/spirits/energy" of those who witness it, so workers are free to play with that if they want!

meanwhile, lance will be using his paladin suit's jetpack to get him to higher ground so he can shoot and snipe at the larger robots (and any scurrying smaller zymandis agents) with his rifle bayard. with regards to the agents themselves, fellow audentes are free to take note that lance is pointedly avoiding making any kill shots. other things he'll be doing:

• provide cover-fire for anyone who wishes to hack the robots or rush out to the nodes
• he's neither tech- nor healing-savvy so he'll definitely be out there in the fray for the most part and will focus mainly on the airbombers and T15s
• he will also be transporting injured or people who need higher ground for attacks using his suit's jetpack!
• because he's a delicate human bean who isn't full on shounen, he will probably get hurt so if anyone wants to play with that...
• afterwards he'll probably spend a lot of time helping with repairs, particularly around the squidge park!

for the most part i am definitely more inclined to play with the fall out of this fight, especially since i didn't really have the energy to participate in previous discussions regarding it. so if anyone's up for aftermath stuff (especially with regards to hurt/comfort, peptalks, dumb shenanigans to take one's mind off things) hit me up! as a note, i won't be topleveling, but i would love to work something out with others if that's needed.

Keith will be doing what Keith does best: running in and trying to dangerously fight robots while being armored and wielding a weapon at the same time. He will be using his paladin armor to reach higher points, though most of his focus will be the shielding robots and the little tiny scampering bots.

I am down for teamups and stuff!

Scott is 100% a melee fighter (with his fists and claws and stuff), which means that most of his fighting will be in order to get anyone out of danger, rather than throwing himself into it. Anyone who is hurt can have Scott draw away their pain until they can get to safety (to a limit).

He will also be trying to figure out what is going on and how this works, but Stiles will (presumably) be helping with that the most.

[armigers]

Noctis will be killing robots like they're in season. He'll mostly be targeting air bombers since aerial combat is his jam. He'll also use his AoE elemental spells and try to take out a bunch at the same time, but he'll need help getting them all round up. Anyone around him is likely to get hit by his magic as friendly fire is a horrid thing that happens all the time in FFXV land. The greatest threat to Noctis' friends is Noctis himself.

Anyway, on the healing side of things, Noctis can create potions and elixirs out of energy drinks, so if anyone is down, he'll heal them right back up until his supply runs out. I am open to any and all plotting.

[keeper]

ooc: won't be top-leveling this time but am more than happy to tag-in or write closed starters!!

Aqua will be destroying things with magic + speed boost! LEAVE NO ROBOT STANDING!! Literally running through things and letting them explode behind her like a Cool Action Hero. She's got shielding spells for those who want to tag team, a glider for aerial robos, and healing spells for inevitable injuries. And a buncha other magic tricks up her ridiculous bell-sleeves so!!! Should be pretty flexible for all your fiting needs.

P.S. Stuffing face/napping at a rest point also an acceptable alternative. uwu

[ex_mettacrusher33]

After getting a strength blessing from your cat highness, Mettaton will be doing what Mettaton does best: providing a distraction. Since the combatant robots tend to target on to enemies and MTT is a summoner with a tiny clone-army and a shit-ton of bombs, he will be setting up for tag-teams, my brother. He isn't much for attacking the non-robotic fighters, ironically, and seems keen to avoid them if at all possible.

Unfortunately, for anyone wishing him to help any further... he's recently been granted an upgraded form capable of physical sensations, he's taking a Mettaton-hiatus for the rest of the week. Y'all got this. He needs to touch everything, everyone, and know what it feels like to lay in a lake for several hours.

Not swim.

Lay.

i'll be top levelling for naruto, again, just because he's like that. but i'll probably also tag around the top levels a little in a few days. my top levels are here.

so, about that kyuubi bleed prompt. people around naruto in this state will feel slightly uncomfortable although it's reasonably harmless other than the fact that it burns on contact - think hot water or acid - and the longer naruto stays in this mode, the more harm it will do to him both emotionally and physically. it also alters his behaviour and make him more animalistic and aggressive and he's been known to lash out at people he cares about in this form, but he won't cause any major damage.

to get naruto down from being a furious fox he'll need to either receive a blow that at the very least dazes him, or have his mind forcibly calmed through whatever means. if you're interested/have any ideas, feel free to discuss with me! if you wanna get involved but don't want to deal with the bleed/want a way around it-- he can easily be knocked out of it with a hit from whatever he's attacking, so i can work that in too! just let me know o/

for the most part, though, naruto will be focusing on the biggest guy there, as its the main priority. he's capable of making clones, of creating a variation of big and highly destructive chakra balls/blades, but most of all he's super fast. doubly so thanks to the queen. he will help out anyone who needs him, tho, so CR can easily be garnered by seeing him skidding around. despite wanting to be in the throng of it, he'll also gladly be the defence for any non-offensive types who want to work with the nodes. <3
