Moro on the Amnesia Event

[biteoffherhead]

OKAY GUYS. This is KP here and for the amnesia event, I'm going to be playing Moro as a much more dangerous, spirit-like entity. Without her hundreds of years of experience and bias, she's reduced to a much more basic behavior pattern.

How will she act? Well, you could think back on her pups in the movie. They were quick to switch from a calm (for a wolf) demeanor to a violent one, then jump right back on a whim. Another good example lies in a recent chapter of Gunnerkrigg Court, where Ysengrin was grouchy, sure, but on a hair trigger completely overreacted and attempted to kill a person who was very friendly with him. It's a very live-in-the-now mentality, and a very dangerous one. A person could be getting along just fine with a spirit, then say or do just one thing wrong. It doesn't matter to the spirit that they were friends before, the immediate reaction to the wrong behavior is to retaliate to the extreme: with death.

I bring this up because I want to present an opportunity for people to get their characters severely injured (lost limbs, huge chunks of flesh ripped off in 'close calls') or even killed! I think it would be extremely frightening and compelling for characters to experience something so fearsome and unpredictable, and it would inspire good character drama. I'm also entirely ready to accept character consequences, i.e. humans chasing her down, chasing her away, or even attacking her. I want this event to be exciting!

If you're interested, you can comment here and work out details quickly (how badly you want to be damaged) or you can come to me on AIM (nofancydos). If you want your cast mates in on a retaliation, you can also contact me on plurk! (nofancydos)

Let's get something exciting started! >)

Aw! They forgot that they like each other!

Question! Do the injuries have to be that severe, or can we just have really bad gashes from Moro's claws as wounds?

[biteoffherhead]

They can get really close grazes from her teeth and possibly gashes from their claws. If they're fast enough to escape her, that'll give them a much easier time getting off relatively easy.

[hiken_ace]

Okay, cool. Oh, since Ace is made of fire, she could simply splash him with water to injure him. And in regards to getting Moro mad, I planned for him to just consider cutting down a tree or two for a secret base he wants to make, but not actually do it. He would just be musing to himself and wondering if it would be okay. Would this be enough, or should we plan something else?

[biteoffherhead]

She doesn't have an innate bias/inclination to protect the trees, this time around! She's more likely to react poorly to anything she interprets as an insult, such as a remark about her showing ribcage/aged fur/otherwise looking weak. It's mostly unintentional insults against her, those she's decided to care for (Silver, in this case) or any questioning of her ability to fight (since she looks pretty old and scraggly).

[hiken_ace]

Hmmm, Ace tends to be pretty polite, and definitely wouldn't make any comments about her ability to fight. It's definitely possible that he'll make a comment about her ribcage showing, suggesting she doesn't eat enough, and such. Sound good?

[biteoffherhead]

That will do! It'll make how easily she's set off all the more stunning.

[hiken_ace]

Awesome! So it's a plan then. When would you like it to happen?

[biteoffherhead]

If anyone else hooks in, I'll make a post for Moro so the whole mess can be a separate affair, otherwise I'll put her on the log late tomorrow! Alternatively, I can go after Ace's thread.

[hiken_ace]

Tomorrow works for me! Actually, any day does. |D;;

[biteoffherhead]

Later than I said but it's all set up and ready!
