Plotting

[neonmods]

This page is your one-stop shop to pitch ideas to the mods, propose an event, or ask questions about things you’d like to do in the game. Every plot post will also have a Q&A section for this same purpose, but this one’s more for your general ideas and permission.

NPCs and factions, monsters, and locations can be suggested on their respective pages. Feel free to ask questions here, but we may send you to the page proper to officially submit it.

As a refresher, we’d like to be consulted for the following types of plots:

✧ Giving your character a prestigious, influential, or extremely privileged job

✧ Working for City Hall in any capacity

✧ Plots that would impact other players/large portions of the setting

✧ Plots that would damage or destroy public locations

✧ Interactions with major mod NPCs

✧ Killing any NPCs

✧ Plots that attempt to bend setting mechanics (taming a monster, leaving the boundaries of the map, experimenting magically with Shadows, etc - these are not forbidden but we’d like to know what you’re doing so we can give you some results)

If you’re unsure or just want to hash something out with us, go ahead and drop us a line!

So, what can we do for you?

Dropping a faction-joining comment as per the FAQ.

If this falls within the "other corporate jobs" opportunity at Styx, Rau will be taking a corporate investigations (internal affairs, loss prevention, corporate espionage...) role. Although it's a shift from his military special ops background, Rau was raised to inherit a business empire and will be perfectly competent and well-behaved. His medium/long term goal is to learn what's happening in those secure facilities/in the big foreboding skyscraper, but he won't be overt about his interest or try to break into these places unauthorized -- rather, in the short term, he'll just build a track record of performance and reliability with the aim of getting perfectly legitimate access to these places later.

You got it!

Rau will probably start off with some basic security work at Styx HQ and possibly traveling around to Styxmarts throughout the city from time to time. This'll probably be a trial period of 1-2 months before he gets to sit in on some corporate investigation work. No access to the secure facilities just yet, but keep up the good work and soon...

What a great time to join an upstanding company. Can Rau investigate Widowmaker/the chemical leak from within and sell out the people involved (other than the very very senior people who are clearly blameless and will have vacancies to fill, of course!) at the end of the plot?

[neonmods]

Absolutely. Styx puts everything on lockdown pretty quickly and puts their security folks to work keeping nosy press out, but there will absolutely be some deets to leak. We highly recommend having Rau reach out to some of the other characters investigating (like Miller, below) to orchestrate him being the one to leak some info.

As for the info itself, give us a bit to come up with something and we'll get back to you. >>
