Player: Cybra Character: Alastor Idea: I mentioned this in a mod contact question, but Alastor's spent a year building up a lot of negative/nightmare energy due to doing what turned out to be stupid things like enjoying nightmare walking and fighting noctaere on a regular basis. On top of that, he's done even stupider things like having a Bleeding Heart possess him, coming into direct contact with those nightmare thorns a while back, and making the blindingly stupid mistake of attempting to eat one of the animal corpses that were infected from those thorns that hadn't been outwardly necrotic at the moment. Having access to radios for a month and then having them taken away chipped away the buffer which kept his internal receiver from glitching at the lack of radio signals to connect to. The moonstone reward helped slow it down, but it was like sticking a Bandaid on a more serious problem.
So what better time for a demon's nightmare chickens to come home to roost and make him go full noctaere than Spooktober?
During September, the glitching will become increasingly unbearable until he leaves Reverein at the end of September/start of October. I was planning on sign-ups for 3 to 5 people who are planning to try and help Alastor to have a dream or nightmare during September that Alastor could walk into which will later be used against them via shadow-manipulated illusion. Nothing fancy, just silent shadow silhouettes that his little shadow buddies take on to, in essence, snarl at anyone trying to get close. (He doesn't really care overly much about Reverein as a whole, but there are a few people there who are dear to him that he doesn't want getting mixed up in this.)
Alastor will have taken over a thicket deep in the woods previously occupied by noctaere. He'll order his rescuers to leave, knowing he's not as powerful as he'd be in Hell but he's still dangerous. (I mentioned in his app that his full noctaere form would boost his regular abilities along with being able to summon two eldritch tentacles once per battle if it comes down to a fight.) He thinks that he can find a way to purge himself of the noctaere form so that those in Reverein he actually cares about won't be afraid of him and that he'll be allowed to stay in the only place that's welcomed him in almost 90 years. I was going to potentially also put up a poll for if participants want a full boss fight or if they just want to talk him down, to convince him to let them help, since I kept going back and forth on that decision myself.
The resolution is just siphoning off all that gunk he's built up over the past year when he finally surrenders either via being talked down or getting knocked out in the fight. That will not just return him to normal but reassert the block that kept the glitching at bay in the beginning. Date: The main portion (the end) would be in mid or late October. Questions: Just want to make sure this doesn't interfere with any of your plans.
