Plot Discussion Post

Hey, all! Sorry this has been so late, but time for another round of plot discussion.

Basically, here's how it works: These posts will provide a place to discuss upcoming plots, propose plot ideas to your fellow players, and generally just brainstorm and organize for things. You will be allowed to volunteer to help OOCly with plots as well. Note, however, that these threads will not be a place to sign up your characters for plots. Those posts will go up on their own before the plot in question starts.

What you can do:
-Discuss upcoming plots (whose threads will be posted soon after this post goes up) and volunteer to help OOCly
-Propose plot ideas to the game at large. (Use the form from the plot suggestion post to make things easier)
-"Adopt" a plot from the plot suggestion post (linked below). If there is a plot on the plot suggestion post you'd like to see run, start a thread for it in here.
-Propose ongoing setting changes. For example, you can propose a new crew "team" like Starfighter Command and the Outsiders, or perhaps starting a new service for the crew like the blacksmiths and the clothier's shop.

Getting a standard plot approved:
-All plots that take place off-ship or involve at least a moderate number of people must go through mod approval first. If you're not sure, email us and see if it would qualify.
-While we'd like you to use these posts to discuss your potential plots with your fellow players, if you'd prefer not to include it in plot discussion posts for any particular reason (for example, particular details of the plot you'd like to keep hidden), posting your plot in the plot discussion posts is not necessary to get a plot approved
-To get a plot approved, use the form listed in the plot suggestion post and email it to transmigration9@gmail.com, along with links to any plot discussion threads you believe have relevant ideas. You will be emailed with an approval once the mods have reviewed it and find it satisfactory. Once you have received an approval, you will be asked to help us determine the best time to run the plot.

Getting a private plot approved (*new*):
-A private plot--which is a plot consisting of up to five players or can be finished in under a week, and (in either case) already has a predetermined set of involved players--must be sent to the mods for approval, though it doesn't need to be announced in anyway other than to inform involved players.
-Private plots can consist of any type of small plot, including small off-ship missions requiring only a small number of people. If you are unsure if your plot counts as a private plot, email the mods and we will try to clarify for you.
-To get a private plot approved, follow the normal procedure for sending in a plot for approval, save that you should note somewhere (preferably in the beginning) that it is a private plot and what characters/players are involved.

Plot Idea: The Red

[identity profile] daemonomicon.livejournal.com 2011-03-27 09:00 pm (UTC)(link)
The crew receives a distress beacon from the Nehekari--a multiversal species renowned for using magic rather than technology to travel the Bleed--at one of their multiversal stations in a pocket universe. When they arrive, however, they find everything running perfectly fine, with none of the horrible things mentioned in the original distress call. Unfortunately, the pocket universe is beset by a Bleed-storm, forcing Stacy to leave the station--along with the crew members on-board--to wait out the storm on their own.

This is, of course, when everything goes to hell.

It all begins when the crew on-board discovers a horribly mutilated body of one of their own. The only problem (beyond the horrible, horrible murder, of course) is that said crew member is safe and sound elsewhere on the station. So where did the body come from?

As more and more such bodies are discovered, it's up to the crew stuck on board the station to figure out what's going on before someone really does get hurt.

This one's meant to be something of a supernatural murder-mystery, and while the murderer (whatever they are) they will be facing is particularly powerful, it's not going to be an action plot. While obviously mystical and magical characters will do well for this one, it's going to be made so just about anyone can lend a hand.
