new wave

hi so i have an event idea yay

let's have a band of people come together to create an 'army' of monsters

I KNOW I KNOW CLICHE BUT READ ON YOU WONT BE DISAPPOINTED

these creatures are artificially created and bred in a lab
imagine fighting against unique monsters, like those of backyard monsters etc, each one different and original
they have their own unique powers and weaknesses—all for you to exploit and play with
they don't even have to be flesh and blood—eg:half magic, half machines?
in fact, ideas for these monsters can be created by our members themselves OOC

for example, submit a form with the special traits of the monsters, its gender type, attack form, weaknesses and etc
no need to be too detailed, they're gonna die anyway
but the POWERS and WEAKNESSES are important for the sake of roleplay

sample form can consist of
creature name: tycheiod
height: ranges from one metre to two metres high
skin: entire thing is black and scaly, but not slimy. it appears to have a strong, shiny layer of exoskeleton.
eyes: has four red, green or black eyes positioned two close on top and two on each side, enabling it to see an estimation of 300 degrees
nose: four slits on the middle of its face
ears: no visible ears, only holes on the sides of its neck
mouth: wide mouth along the edge of its face, and rows of small white teeth
head: rotates seemingly on a partially visible joint, like a ball point pen.
neck: hardly any neck, except for what little is exposed at the joint when a tycheiod turns its head
limbs: has four long and gangly legs, like a spider's, only more flexible and wavelike, extending from the upper sides of its body. each is about three to six inches thick in diameter and twice as long as the body. two can support the weight of its whole body. they are strong and rubber-like. no tail.
body: small and stout body, ovalish, ranging quarter to 3/4 metres in diameter. its legs suspend its body in the air so the belly does not touch the ground.
voice: only hisses and snarls, doesn't speak or anything else.
powers: breath is full of salmonella typhi, can contaminate water/food sources etc
exceptional strengths: beware its rubberish legs that can choke one to death, somewhat fire-resistant
exceptional weaknesses: the neck joint is brittle. a well-aimed hit with something hard can shatter the ball-like joint and kill the creature
special traits: also spreads typhoid through touch, likes water or mud, dislikes fire and will get agitated by it
other:  only cure for infected people is to kill the particular tycheiod that has spread it, but note that there may be multiple tycheiods existing and identifying the one may be difficult, so kill allofem

okay it got a lot longer than i expected but it was fun creating

also they dont disappear in a shower of powder
maybe if they are killed they melt or something
so the only way to capture them is to do it alive

and we can compile them all into one list for members to choose whichever monster type for their own roleplay
adds a bit of variety, yuknow

THE IDEA is that they create monsters that chb has never seen before
they are original and unique and created in a lab
therefore they would launch attack after attack at the camp in waves
some would get through the borders since normal magic doesn't bind them
some would gather in the forest, make their homes there, whatever, you decide

best thing is that it doesn't have to be on one official thread
make your own threads all over the place
invent your own plots that revolve around this event


be free



back to the actual issue, these subplots can occur after a week or two
subplot—athena cabin & hephaestus cabin tasked to experiment on the new monsters, categorise them and find out the weaknesses
subplot—hunters can help the above by using the information to find out more about them and track their source
subplot—ares cabin & ______ cabin(s) tasked to capture the monsters
subplot—one quest to find the creators fail

IMPT subplot—halfway through the event, a quest of demigods will have to set out to find the lab, destroy it and end the chaos
IMPT subplot—another one will hunt down the band of creators who call themselves the _______

everyone else will be in the camp aiding the defence

its not that the two quests are not connected to the plot
OOC can arrange that they can IM back and forth camp and quest exchanging new information

they can have numbers burned into their paws or necks or something
then we can post up another list in the form of 'discovered' creatures in the athena cabin after they discover things
and those undiscovered, well, will be left undiscovered till they are discovered
001—ombresca
002—??
003—??
004—tycheiod
005—??


also i just thought of this
the event will end only when the questing roleplays themselves end yay therefore responsibility guys


i have yet to come up with the motive for these guys' attack though
maybe a mad scientist? athena kid gone bad? trying to test the power of the borders/fleece? who knows.
maybe even a remarkable human who knows about these demigod abominations and wants to get rid of them all


also, i think i'll call this event new wave

what do you think? possible?
