	Status Completed Type Plot Suseptible Character Types All onworld organic characters Started 7/14/23 10:54 PM Updated 8/31/23 6:45 PM Finshed 8/31/23 5:18 PM Preplot Information Characters will be becoming synthetic versions of themselves. Three versions are available Synthoid - Similar in appearance to normal organics but composed of polymer synthetics for skin, fur, and such. Outwardly colors and textures will be different Mech - Robots and mechanoids. Purely metal mechanical beings. Made of hard plates and fixed joints. Cybernetic - A mix of the two above. May have clearly artificial parts on synthetic appearances. Some characters may gain extra abilities such as increased speed, night vision, etc. But no character will gain on board communication systems. No transmitters or receivers will be gained. Character with existing such systems will retain theirs however. Existing cyborgs will either become Mech or Cybernetic categories above, however only their existing biological components will be effected. Characters that are not biological, be it pure energy, mechanical, or such will remain unaffected. Important changes to note: Magic wielding characters will loose their abilities. They may gain magictek devices to replicate some or several effects from mana in the area/batterypacks/etc but raw magic wielding is lost to effected characters. As the mind is unchanged it may not be able to keep up with the new bodies. Even if a character's body can now read 100 times faster, their mind being unaffected means they can still only process the data at the original speed. Unless they have a system for it, characters are not self repairing. Though being metal new pieces/repairs can be manually performed. Some characters can plug in to recharge a battery, some have on board reactors to generate power, all have some means of self sustaining their bodies. Any character that makes alterations to their now mechanical bodies will be subject to lingering/permanent effects, changes, alterations at the plot's conclusion. Be it unrepaired damage or components added//changed/removed Plot Overview At 3 am on July 15 several large towers were launched around the planet. One landing twenty miles northwest of Marsilion. From these points outwards spread a transforming everything into metal and synthetic. Metal trees and planets, polymer soil. Only things completely inorganic were unaffected. As the wave spread through the town the buildings were changed, as were the inhabitants, into mechanical versions of themselves. Some look more different then others but all have been changed. The origin of these towers is not yet known. Plot Information The Towers The towers are tall, 1300 feet tall (396 meters) of a dark purple/grey material, with a tripod base and several lights lining up. There are beams of energy projecting form the peak to nearby towers in the network, though these may be thousands of miles away. The towers themselves are protected by a massive displacement force field, anything going in that isn't suppose to be shunted to the outside. - Image The characters Characters will be becoming synthetic versions of themselves.

Arms/legs: Absolute marvels of technology. Covered in a thick, smooth and incredibly durable crystalline casing. Padded digits with an incredibly durable but soft material similar to a mix of rubber and leather. Still has claws as her natural form. Spine/Ears/Eyes: The system that starts at the base of her tail and works up to the back and top of her head. There thin, golden lines run from the end of the spinal connection to her ears, eyes and limbs. Ears don't seem directly affected but does help with ear damaging noises. Her eyes help tone down incredibly bright things and are glowing an icy blue. Power: The entire system runs off of a mix of solar collection from arms and legs, as well as an efficient motion generation that both funnel power into incredibly advanced micro power-cells that hold a relatively long lasting amount of power.

Powered by a weird arcano-tech reactor that appears to be powered by direct energy contact. Her whole system has been turned into an efficient hunting system of titanium and tungsten. Her sensors grant her a range of night and IR vision. Her claws can vibrate and heat up to temperatures that allow her to slice steel. Her fangs can puncture the hardest of armors. Her strength can now be applied to throwing whole cars. Her speed is relatively the same, but she can run at however much longer! Her armor plates can resist all but the heaviest of rounds. She is the ultimate mechanized predator... with no prey. Now relegated to simply return from the deep woods. &lt;Similar to this&gt; https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/363034517922906112/1141563070246817982/cybadger_by_wolfmagex_ddm2ggz-fullview1.jpg Mechanical Description — Can be discussed but mostly yes.

Body is made of tiny interlocking metal scale plates which move similar to fluid. His eyes are featureless ruby spheres which emit a glow from deep within. There is no sign of the harness he usually wears. Save for a subtle, more smoothed back look, he appears much like usual dragon self. Despite small size, alarmingly high power signature can be detected within by anyone able to sense such. (Original form.) Mirachoco synthetic. Durable furless body made of some form of seamless, featureless, neutral gray lycra bodysuit like polymer coating over apparent interlocking metal plate internals. All details beyond the vaguely choconoid form entirely hard light based, able to duplicate fine detail, texture, and feel of projected body. Gilor tech active.

Claws/fingernails are now hard epoxy, and his eyes have become two individual LED screens. [bullet] As for his interior, Shelby has an endoskeleton comprised of interlocking/intersecting steel metal sheets. A single layer of metal sheets covers the outer layer of the endoskeleton, separating the exterior skin from the internal structure and components. Shelby's computing hardware is located in the head, and batteries in the chest with the charging socket on top of the base of his tail. His toes, fingers, ears, and mouth are actuated by electrically driven pulley systems, but other body parts like the arms, legs, neck, and tail are hydraulically driven.

Powerful internal reactor with heat-based empowerment, but overheating risks system shutdowns - has a number of heatsinks/vents throughout chassis to manage. Overall loss of emotive capability due to static faceplate and loss of both fine tactile sensation and manual dexterity, only able to get past the former with intonation in her voice (Upset about this!). Unable to access subspace pocket (Also upset about this) - only has access to sword and whatever onboard weaponry she's 'built with'. Pilebunker-empowered fists, energy wave emitter in mouth, jump and foldable hover-thrusters allow for limited flight, but too heavy to do sustained 'cruises' like before. Mechanical Description — Sure Volunteer for extra plot shenanigans — Tier 2 Volunteer for extra plot shenanigans — Silver threars run throughout Extra Effects — Silver threads remain, small and flexible so not impeding movement.

Two particularly fluffyfloofy raccoon tails can spin in a low RPM propellor like motion that seems to be more for appearance than effective propulsion. Very lightweight, child-safe strength, effectively impervious to stains/mold/mildew. Slow self mending/cleaning function. Fully child safe!

Within the pack is a reactor that powers his limbs and equipment. It is a constant and steady power source that vents its heat via upward vents. On the sides are several large clamping-claws, plasma-based welding torches and odd smaller multi-clamp claws. His back appears to attach directly to the legs. Legs: Bulky, blocky but very steady walking system that has a set of treads built in as well as a set of magnetic clamps. On either side, within reach of the clamps and hands are a set of compartments that can be filled with misc-pieces and parts. Arms: His arms are largely the same, but on closer inspection, seem to be wrapped in tendrils whose bases are mounted in large blocky portions attached at where his shoulders would be which are also attached to the large pack. Head: Swapped with a large metallic dragon skull. Several sensors have replaced his eyes and ears. A multitude of lenses and optical sensors. Ears are replaced with a set of antenna. Within the mouth is a flamethrower that is very much for aesthetic purposes. His voice, now mechanical can be heard from a speaker system mounted under his chest. Due to his antenna, he actually can receive telecommunications if he is tuned into the proper frequency. Overall: Very much like a true Techpriest of Mars.

	Rich the Mini-Dragon Mech Pilot: From their new found mechanical bodies it was discovered that Rich's tiny anthro robotic dog form is compatible with Davwyn's mechanical minidrake form. Rich being able to climb inside Dav's back and dock inside as if the minidrake was a large power armor suit. Within Rich is able to pilot Dav while maintaining a empathic connection with Dav's mind allowing Rich to not only fly and control Dav's body as if it were his own, but have Dav stand bipedal and speak through the tiny dragon as if he were Dav.

	General Lance and the current Mayor will issue an announcement that Marsilion will be working jointly with the other free cities across the planet to investigate and try to put an end to this. In the coming days they will be setting up a joint military base and investigating some anomalies nearby Marsilion. They also issued a warning to report any strange mental effects, especially if they concern something called "Lord Horologium." They will make it public that they think whoever or whatever Lord Horologium is, they're the one responsible for this and they don't have the people's best interests in mind.

	•The Event: Roughly a day after the shift in instinctual behaviors that many mechanized experienced (Let's call it August 1st, a little after dark) an interesting and very bright sky phenomenon occurred. Lines of light shot into and swept around the sky towards the south east of Marsillon. Hundreds of light beams seemed to converge at a location quite far away to the southeast at what seems to be in the deep south of the badlands. The beams of light swept up and down the sky there almost as if advertising the location somehow. Spoiler tag with nothing in it to see if this fixes the mobile issue: Guess mobile skips the first spoiler of a post? •For Those Near Towers: Pretty much every tower this side of the planet started firing angrily at something, abruptly starting a charge over nothing in particular and then firing a collection of light beams at the above location. I'm uncertain if they fired nearly forty at once or if each beam required a separate charge. Afterwards the towers all remained glowing yellow, holding a charge and seem to be remaining that way for now. •Report to MAF and Allies: "So the good news is, these things CAN be destroyed. The bad news is that it didn't un-mech the region as far as I can tell. Not a lot of plants in the Badlands that can be seen from way up here, so in retrospect that was a flaw with this plan.

Back to good news though, they're really bad at tracking where threats from very far away come from, or maybe that's just cause there was no energy signal for it to track?

It's after dark so the 'after' picture is mostly the lack of leylines to the region in question. •Attached video clip of towers spewing lasers from an orbital perspective. The lasers in the start of the clip seem to be focused at least fifty miles away, but getting closer. The clip cuts off before they get too close. •Attached are annotations about how many beams seem to fire, charging time, how quickly they seem to pivot, and the estimated force of impact (roughly equivalent to canon fire) with the added note that that's from two hundred plus miles distant and they're potentially stronger up close. •Update Fifteen Minutes Later: "Oh, this is probably also really important... the field turning everything biological actually ends far enough away from the planet. Somewhere between 250 to 300 kilometers. Almost really messed things up when the giant rod of metal I was dropping turned back into a tree trunk. Thankfully it turned back when it got closer." Update Two Hours Later: "Oh come on! They replaced it? I guess that makes sense, but it's still annoying. And now they're glowing full time. Hopefully that's a strain on the enemy's resources though, and if they stop... well we know we can destroy these things now and they don't retaliate until after they're hit. I bet if we take them all out at once they'll be helpless for at least two hours. Recommended for tactical consideration." Last Edited by Thuban On Aug 2, 2023 5:22 AM

	•The Event: Roughly a day after the shift in instinctual behaviors that many mechanized experienced (Let's call it August 1st, a little after dark) an interesting and very bright sky phenomenon occurred. Lines of light shot into and swept around the sky towards the south east of Marsillon. Hundreds of light beams seemed to converge at a location quite far away to the southeast at what seems to be in the deep south of the badlands. The beams of light swept up and down the sky there almost as if advertising the location somehow. •For Those Near Towers: Pretty much every tower this side of the planet started firing angrily at something, abruptly starting a charge over nothing in particular and then firing a collection of light beams at the above location. I'm uncertain if they fired nearly forty at once or if each beam required a separate charge. Afterwards the towers all remained glowing yellow, holding a charge and seem to be remaining that way for now. •Report to MAF and Allies: "So the good news is, these things CAN be destroyed.

	On the evening of the 20th, there was a major incident. Air raid sirens sounded and people would've observed the MAF scrambling all aircraft. A few minutes later, Lord Horologium themselves appeared over Marsilion, coming to rest over the lake. They called for "Unit 179827198798423231" to reveal themselves, and deployed stationary machine towers around the city which disrupted extra-spatial effects. After apparently finding their quarry, Lord Horologium then proceeded to take 2% of the transformed population by forcing them to march towards the main tower. General Lance called upon the citizenry to try and stop any who were being taken and also ordered the MAF's FG-2 Bandicoots to fire upon the new stationary towers, damaging them and rendering them inoperable. The mayor was among those who were attempted to be kidnapped, but luckily a guard was able to intervene and immobilize them until the effect passed, at which point they returned to normal. The MAF is going to be investigating the damaged towers Horologium dropped, and ordering citizens to keep their distance.

	Plot Review Did you participate in this play? Indirectly What were some things you really liked about the plot? It was a way to get players involved, an overarching story with plot to solve. Where did this plot fail and need to improve? there was a lot going on, and was difficult to follow. How fun was this plot? 8 How was player participation? 8 How was staff participation? 8 How was plot creativity? 8 Would you like more plots like this in the future? Yes

	Plot Review Did you participate in this play? Directly What were some things you really liked about the plot? Everyone got to try out new forms, tons of cross-character interactions happened between both familiar and new characters, and everyone had a chance to get a life changing experience out of their respective roles. On top of that, everyone that was interested was able to play an important part in the event, big or small. Where did this plot fail and need to improve? The only need I saw was we need players to work harder at posting into the forum thread character events going on so everyone is up to speed. Many details were often left out or not mentioned making players have to read gigantic back logs or otherwise suffer missing out on a lot of important details. One big excuse was players not having knowledge of specific events. That doesn't matter. Put OOC details under an OOC information clause, so people know what is going on with the plot. Just make it clear what knowledge most characters would have vs most would not. It was stressful for some players as they felt if they didn't read every log, they couldn't take part. How fun was this plot? 10 How was player participation? 9 How was staff participation? 10 How was plot creativity? 10 Would you like more plots like this in the future? Yes
