Title: [RP/Plot] The Screams of Nature

Farren Kutter's Diary
*The diary seems to be written in a thickened ink that rises slightly off of the paper. The writing is also of poor quality, and some parts of words are unreadable.*

[OOC] This is a plot I have developed over time, and am now going to attempt to put into effect. Joining is as simple as associating with Farren. Or even Kaerli and Atria will do. Basically, Farren has gone insane. He has a strong connection to nature, and something has gone wrong, causing nature, all of the plants and animals and other life of Yliakum, to speak to Farren, screaming, yelling, and crying at him. They are unable to give many details. He is going insane from all of the demands that were suddenly made louder in his mind, since not just this single imbalance is being screamed and yelled. This has caused intense stress along with the insanity, causing him to be irritable and overreactive. It has also caused his mind to sort of shutdown and he has formed a second personality that takes over. It is the embodiment of his insanity. This second personality also brings to life the powers that Farren has, but cannot use. 'Nature', as the personality calls itself and believes itself to be the embodiment of, has immense Druidic power, which Farren's mind always subdued and made unusable.

It is also very insane, in a calm sort of way. It doesn't know what it wants and will come up with random goals and argue why it wants what it says it wants, even if it is obviously wrong. Its powers include controlling nature in any way it sees fit, and also it can repel any glyph magic, and rebound the energy (not the spell) upon its caster. This ability is marked by an aura of green flames. Druidic magic it has slight resistance, but not repulsion to. 'Nature' does not have Farren's skills in combat, but does retain his instinct and such. He is obviously much stronger in the wilderness than in the city, though his power is there as well, especially when he is on the grass.

This plot is totally voluntary. The search for the imbalancing factor that caused this may be open to everyone if I can gain some sort of GM support for that specific point of the plot. If I can't then it may just be open to a smaller group of people since I will have to run it all by myself... Don't expect the GM support, I'm quite sure I won't get it. We will try to make it fun anyway. If you don't want to be pulled into the plot, but are nearby and to be IC must sort of respond to the RP, just /tell me saying you are just brushing through the RP, not intending to fully join it. If you intend to fully join it and want a deeper part in the plot, /tell me and I will give chances for such things to occur, though they will not be scripted in, they must be RPed, you doing what your character would do, and everyone else doing the same. I understand such a character as this 'Nature' may be considered to be godmoded, but please RP maturely and realize that it is a powerful enemy. Powerful enemies are not easy to beat by any ONE person, or even any two or three, etc... If you don't like it don't join, I am not forcing anyone to RP with it.There is always the power of choice. But don't ignore the RP totally, or it could be a shame on you... Things happen every day that people don't like and don't want to be involved in, but you cannot act like it isn't happening. That would be unrealistic, don't you think?



P.S. This post may be changed in the future so please check back to make sure you don't miss anything.

An interesting thread, will participants be rewarded in some way?

Yes, and hopefully greatly if GMs can get involved. Less so if not. After all, Farren has little of value :P

But a reward to any of my Rangers who participate is also going to be given, with their guild points for RPing and maybe even ranking.

Lol, if you knew how the guild worked you'd know that the guild points signify RP things :)


And Farren only teaches his rangers :)

I know I'm interested. Siteri, after all, is not only a good friend of Farren who would want to help him anyway, but also has her own reasons for wanting to investigate the inner workings of the mind...

You are welcome to join. To get involved, just hang around Kaerli, Atria, and me, and hope for something to happen. :)

Sounds like something Zan could be a part of .. too bad he has no associations with any Rangers so I'll just have to see. Hate going out of my character's way to join something. :P

Hope you can manage to find a way :)

Aeshion wandered in a bit. Farren is blind, and she is mute. A fine mess that made. *grins*

So he's finally losing it huh  ;D . This whole nature unbalance thing that drives you crazy will work well with the other plans I have in effect  :devil: Who knows, I may be able to persuade Farren into.....

I won't speak anymore, I'll leave you wondering  ;)

@Siteri: Not sure if Atria has been on much of late. As for me, my working hours are 3 PM to midnight monday through friday, and saturdays I generally work 1:30 PM to 9:30 PM. I live in PA, USA, so that is eastern time :) tomorrow I work 3 PM to 11 PM

dont reward them farren.. not in the gm sense. i know you and i know your rp. we had lots of fun fights in the Demo lords and i think once or twice with coneitic when he was starting trouble. your rp is great and that is the reward. a chance for someones charactor to be caught up in a story line that has/ will be written well and played out well. promise a reward and your not getting genuine rp.. as with gm events. your getting bribed rp. and we all know thats lame.

Only genuine RPers will enjoy the rewards lol

Okay... This RP is not going to work without a lot of support from a lot of players. EVERYONE who is interested in participating, given the situation already stated, please post here or PM me to show support. I need to know I at least have a player base before I can do this RP. If you wish a 'special' role, please PM me privately (do NOT ask here, you won't get one if anyone even really gets a 'special' role without RPing into it on their own). I may have specially picked people to help lead the RP so that it has set rules and such so no one can lead it off on a tangent or use it to justify something of their own and say it is connected with the RP.

Well this didn't turn out well, so I am cancelling this RP. Therefore, any happenings that happened due to the RP should be forgotten and be as if they never happened. Yes, Tuxide, that means you can stop shooting glares at Farren.

Aw, but now that you're cancelling the plot I don't even need a reason :P
