Plot Update!

[badfic_manor_mods]

Someone out exploring, hunting, or foraging early Monday will find something that wasn't there before - a trail, leading off in between the hills vaguely following the stream. If it's followed on horseback at a fairly easy pace, it goes for a little over a day; if you're in a hurry, it's closer to nightfall before hitting something unusual.

That something? Is a small, late 1800's, stereotypical western-movie old west town. There's not a whole lot there; a couple craftsman, a grocer's, a saloon, and an inn that has rooms for rent if anyone actually asks. The NPC's have about the range of personality of an RPG NPC; they'll go about their lives, but are pretty much nondescript period-appropriate extras that may not always respond if spoken to, or if they do, have fairly short scripted responses.

Of course, it's up to the characters/MUN if they're going to make the ride from the camp to see what's on the other end of the path; it is entirely possible to hang around the camp for the entire plot, or to sprint for the town as soon as possible.

If that sounds too good to be true, it kind of is; starting around Thursday, there's a gang that moves in - stereotypical black hats and black clothes and all. They'll be hassling characters in the town, possibly making threats, and there will be a raid on the camp during the week for anyone still there; we'll be making a couple of NPC posts, although some of the harassment and them hanging around can be player-godmodded. (And, hell, if you want to get shot, more power to you!)

The weather's still sunny and hot, albeit chilly at night; those with active powers will find them nerfed a little worse than last week - enough for small tricks, but not enough to rely on them in a fight. New arrivals this week will show up in tents in the camp, as outlined here.

Of course, the wildlife is still out there as well, both useful and ... less useful.

Hello Badfic! I'm new here, although some of you probably recognize me from chat. For those of you that don't, I go by RainRaven. And I'm bringing in Kyoji Kasshu from Mobile Fighter G Gundam.

For those of you that don't know the canon (and I'm sure there's a lot of you, it's kind of old) Kyoji is a genius in many fields, especially Gundam Science. So basically he builds badass giant robots for a living. He's not the most social person around but he's polite and friendly and he has a major soft spot for kids. If you're looking for someone to keep an eye on and protect your child character, throw them at Kyoji and he will be the best big brother figure ever.

Now here's the catch. Because of certain complicated things that happened to him in canon, he's going to suffer rare but serious bouts of insanity. We're talking grinning and laughing like a maniac, setting fires everywhere, trying to kill everyone he comes across crazy. And not only does he have no idea this will happen to him, but he won't remember anything that happened during his fits either. I have a second journal I'll be using when this happens, corrupted_brother. That won't come up for a while though, so more about that later.

I've been stalking the game looking at the events for a while now, so it's good to finally be in the game. :3 I plan on getting his IC intro up sometime tomorrow, and I look forword to RPing with you all!

Edit: I knew I was forgetting something. I can be contacted through email at rainraven4711 [at] gmail [dot] com, through my aim rainraven4711, and feel free to add me on plurk RainRaven
