Meeting+Event Plotting
🌠Prepare for the Symphony of Disruption ðŸŒ
ALL Otherworlders, regardless of their current place of habitation, are called to the following meeting within a chamber deep inside of Evergreen Terrace apartments in High Rise Village.
Upon entering the chamber, there is presented the following real-time holographic broadcast. The figure in the middle speaks:

Upon entering the chamber, there is presented the following real-time holographic broadcast. The figure in the middle speaks:
This is Astris Luxia T3-EM, speaking on behalf of the Council for Technological Advancement, arbiter of the rights of all technologically-augmented and technologically derived citizens of Magisteria, and the rights of all inorganic beings and organically based lifeforms interfacing with advanced technology.
The Council for Technological Advancement has received news within the Aetherium District of the goings-on of High Rise Village, specifically the destruction of the former Aetherion Labs, the encounters with the technological entities who disregard our city-state's laws, known as the Fractured, as well as the anarchist, Phantom Cipher.
We of the Council for Technological Advancement issue a reminder that DISRUPTION IS NOT PERMITTED WITHIN THE CITY-STATE OF MAGISTERIA. Those who seek to do harm to our city-state will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Arwyn Valethorn, as the arbiter of High Rise Village, it falls to your jurisdiction to terminate these goings-on before matters escalate into the Aetherium District. Should such escalation occur, the CTA will have no choice but to take matters into our own hands.

As the arbiter of High Rise Village, I answer in the affirmative. Activities which threaten the peace of our city-state will not be tolerated.
If you will excuse me, venerable members of the CTA, the Otherworlders have just arrived.
Otherworlders . . . I have invited you here that we may at long last meet. I am Arwyn Valethorn, the proprietor and creator of Evergreen Terrace. I had been intending to meet with you all at High Rise Expo, our annual event show-casing the finest developments in advanced technology, yet due to the instability of my district, that event has been indefinitely postponed and effectively cancelled, much to the displeasure of us all, including our pre-eminent friends in the Council for Technological Advancement.
I do apologize for the time it has taken me to return and meet with you properly. Certain business has kept me rather preoccupied, as you may have guessed. Yet you have now met with those in my domain or employment, such as Malik, Ava, Atlas, Soraya, and the fae girls. I am also responsible for financing and creating the sky lounge alongside Passion, my colleague and business partner. The motif and designs of that place, as well as these apartments, can all be traced to me. Indeed, there is nothing which happens in High Rise Village that falls outside of my scope of Authority.
Let me be direct: I am certain that the recent antagonism we have encountered from these underground criminal groups are directly in response to me. It is no coincidence that they have been emboldened to act first at a time when I was away on business, and now when the autumnal and winter season cause the powers of the supernatural Undercity to grow in strength.
But let us now discuss plans for the safeguarding of High Rise Village. The protection of one district is, after all, the protection of all Magisteria.

On Arwyn, Their Powers/Identity
The Authority of Arwyn is High Rise Village itself. Their power(s) are related to perfection: Absolute Perfection and Perfection Embodied. In the presence of Arwyn and their Bios, all beings, all magic, all technology, and even the landscape and terrain itself functions at an enhanced level, constituting the embodiment of perfection. Rather than dealing directly with the magical or technological divide of Magisteria, Arwyn crafts potions and gems which are as close to neutral as one can get with Bios, and uses these to accomplish various feats; Evergreen Terrace, for example, was built by Arwyn's powers used in conjunction with the Absolute Perfection of mechanical engineers and with a kind of techno-magical terraforming ability, nature-weaving, programming the bougainvillea to grow or the ponds to flourish according to Arwyn's plans and desires.
The true depth of Arwyn's powers and their vast repository of enhanced relics and treasures may be unknown to all but perhaps their closest companions, yet it is also known that their influence stretches over the magic of the gifts Otherworlders have received in Magisteria. In many ways, and to many people, the consequences of defying Arwyn's will are seen as far more frightening than any criminal elements in Magisteria, and in turn, if there is one individual the criminal elements fear, it is certain to be Arwyn, who tolerates nothing that interferes with the concept of Absolute Perfection in High Rise village.
During the autumn and winter season, a vulnerability occurs because the dark powers of the Supernatural Undercity grow in strength, giving brief windows of time when, in aggregate, certain forces may be able to oppose Arwyn's powers/control of High Rise Village. Generally speaking, this has not been a problem throughout the years, because the Undercity is essentially a neutral power. However, the presence of rogue elements throughout the last few months suggests that something has led to pockets of criminal agitation taking hold in the Undercity. How exactly these rogue/criminal elements are cooperating with the powers of the Undercity or how they've developed and taken hold in the first place... has yet to be revealed, but it may go far deeper than any yet knows.
For this event, Arwyn will give five Otherworlders of a "do-gooder" character gems imbued with their power. These gems will grant them the identity of Light Sentinels, impervious to corruption. These Otherworlders will be able to rescue their corrupted/"Altered" comrades. How they do that is up to the player's discretion! Be creative, folks!
All Otherworlders will receive one final, special gift upgrade and a special prompt for this event. That is to say that in addition to the event prompts, each character will be given some unique way that they will be tasked with contributing to the overall event. For corrupted characters, this will generally be something they achieve after being "fixed"/returned to their normal selves, but characters can also be given destructive roles overall if they wish. The point is that everyone gets something personalized.
For the plotting, know that this event will feature High Rise Village being overrun by spoopy supernatural creatures, digital hallucinations, various technological infrastructure issues, giant mecha and android type beasties, elemental destruction (ex: fires, tornadic activity). The special roles each character receives will be tied to dealing with these various issues, and someone(s) will need to be tech/hacker geniuses of various sorts in addition to needing magic users to deal with the above difficulties. Also, for plotting, keep in mind that the Synthesis mechanic can be used to develop dual powers among individuals, which may be especially useful in this event.
Finally, the event will be a two-parter, as an intense event. So again, your plotting can run the gamut from "character goes Problematic and becomes destructive" to "Big Damn Hero moment." Mod will work with you.
Final Gift Upgrade: HERE, but you can also reply here for that if you wish. This will go along with the event-given powers, so you may want to factor it into your plotting.

But yes, we shall definitely have them fight! Lucy will probably have other things do the fighting for her at first, so Katsuki can pummel his way through a horde of ghosts and techno fauna and whatever else is nearby that Lucy can mentally grab, and once he defeats those she can go after his brain >:)

Oooh that sounds awesome!! He'd be much more keen to blow up ghosts and robots and shit before pummeling Lucy to a snot for getting in his head pfffft. Man I am so excited for this now
