Dr Landon. his expertise with medicine could be turned against the team

What do you mean?

I think what LB&T means is how his flaws and personality will be magnified and corrupted by Famine, not how his skills will be turned to lethal uses.

But Aisha and Roux both could have their love for each other corrupted, posing a threat to the team.

Yeah, I was wondering about that. It seems from what Drake has posted that Famine plays on emotions the teammates already have, he just increases them to extreme levels, to the point that they start impacting the character's performance.

Landon, as a doctor, feels a profession-bred need to help people. Maybe he could feel the need to help any Dragonstorm guards that get injured, and delay the team.

While I previously said that Mongoose was immune, I'm going to play him as still having some slight problems keeping his cool. He'll recover when Masters or Cobalt Leader is around to reassure him.

Cancerian Tiger, Dr. Williams still seems to feel like the 'newcomer' of the team. Famine could increase her 'fish-out-of-water' feelings, make her think she's no help to anyone and that the others think she's useless. Then, as a payoff, maybe she could do something really useful in the fight against Famine.

LBt has it right, how his integrity as a doctor, the need to treat the injured, will be turned against him and the team, delaying them and giving Famine more time to work them over. this will also bring to light that despite his gifts at surgery and healing, Landon has been passed over for promotion on a number of occasions by inferior doctors amd this irritation will come to the fore..

Roux and Cale are functionally immune to Famine's influence, due to the "upgrades" they got from Dragonstorm, which included neural stabilizer implants. Both of them were given those simply to prevent outside control from getting them.

When the remainder of Ouroboros gets there, however, Hawkeye is going to get hit hard. He's still vulnerable to Famine, and it will amplify his sense of being a monster. Also will amplify his unrequited feelings towards a certain female...

Just a point, what's happening with Shakila, Slash, and Agito?

Nick22 · **Reply #1204 on:** October 11, 2011, 07:18:58 PM

ok so that leaves aishas feelings for roux the only target amoung that duo.. i can work with that..

Cancerian Tiger · **Reply #1205 on:** October 11, 2011, 11:46:23 PM

I like your suggestion, LB&T. In a way, my character is a newcomer since she doesn't have a history with the others, and I never participated in the previous RPs of DS, which I think adds to her feel of being a newcomer.

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #1206 on:** October 12, 2011, 02:51:36 AM

Shakila is presumably still recovering in bed, and a comment by Roux suggests that Slash and Agito are taking care of her. If you want something to happen roleplay-wise, you'll probably have to get in contact with MrDrake.

These suggestions for Famine's influence make this coming battle sound really fun. It'll be nothing like our heroes have fought before, since we've always been able to rely on each other. This is gonna be cool

MrDrake · **Reply #1207 on:** October 15, 2011, 06:03:17 AM

Yeah, I go lost on what happened with them as well. But Starfall, if you wish to get....something done with them, let me know, either here or PM.

Serris · **Reply #1208 on:** October 26, 2011, 01:24:47 AM

Hey, Nick, Starfall, MrDrake, are you still playing or not? PM me or post here if you need an up to date synopsis.

MrDrake · **Reply #1209 on:** October 26, 2011, 01:28:03 AM

Yeah, I am, I just tend to forget to post where I'm needed and the likes is all. Yeah, I keep on getting distracted with gaming and stuff XD

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #1210 on:** October 30, 2011, 05:48:41 PM

Don't forget to keep posting, guys, so we can keep the story going. Serris and I are the only ones to post in the last week.

If you need an update on what's happening in the story, PM me and I can send you a short debriefing emphasizing your characters.

Nick22 · **Reply #1211 on:** October 30, 2011, 07:03:22 PM

Sorry guys i'm still playing.. we're still going after famine..

Serris · **Reply #1212 on:** October 31, 2011, 12:25:43 AM

MrDrake, who controls Famine?

Also, it's your turn.

MrDrake · **Reply #1213 on:** October 31, 2011, 12:28:02 AM

I'll still be controlling Famine. Just uh, mind giving me a quick update as to what Kiara was doing last? I lost track on that part is all.

Sure thing.

Kiara is with the group who will be confronting Famine and he is currently affecting everyone.

Them most notable effect is that he is screwing over their combat effectiveness and doing his "emotion bomb", so Kiara's distrust will still be present.

Ok, I think one reason the RP is going a bit slow is that people (myself included) keep posting build-up to the Famine shootout, without actually starting it. In the next few posts, let's start the actual fight. Then we can move on to destroying the rest of the base, and keep going with the plot.

Serris, could you post a timeline of the remaining important events that will happen from now to the end of the RP?

Nick22 · **Reply #1216 on:** November 14, 2011, 01:00:03 AM

Good thinking LBT. we need to get the fight going, and finish it, so we can progress to the end of the story..

Serris · **Reply #1217 on:** November 14, 2011, 01:23:47 AM

TX Base destroyed.

Group heads up to Washington DC (find base already destroyed)

Stop over in Williamsburg, VA to plan.

Final battle in base off NJ coast.

That's pretty much it.

MrDrake · **Reply #1218 on:** November 14, 2011, 01:28:56 AM

While in Washington, they could also deal with Pestilence, who I'll be keeping there. But then, what about Soundwave and where he's situated at? Would you also want the group to head there to take care of him? Granted, he'll be more head on, straight into the fight ordeal, instead of what the group is doing now you know, having to fight their way towards him.

But in NJ, might I ask what sort of buildings will be present there? Just so I can get the rough layout of what is what. But there, I will have Trinity and Death show up.

Serris · **Reply #1219 on:** November 14, 2011, 02:01:00 AM

NJ has a few large industrial cities in the north (Newark, Elizabeth, Camden, Paterson). The coast is relatively bland with a lot of places to go fishing and beaches and stuff.

The far southwestern part is very rural (Pine Barrens). The southern/central part is rural/suburban.

Basically, the classic American "small town".
