Who on the Lost Light can say they aren't haunted by the death of a friend? Death has visited the ship more than once since it left Cybertron that day when the ship's engines malfunctioned. How many have been lost since then? Some deaths weren't as widely felt as others, but someone still felt pain. So it's only natural that seeing someone you've lost would re-open wounds. Reports of ghosts on the Lost Light have been made before, usually by those most in pain. But lately, even those who weren't as affected as others have been seeing shades of those the Lost Light has left behind. Stranger still, even those who haven't passed on seem to be in two places at once and who knows which is the real one? There's even been sightings of these shades of bots that were never even on the ship in the first place. Something very strange is happening on the Lost Light. * * * * * For our first Special Event, the Lost Light and its crew have come across a pocket of a parallel universe, an opportunity granted by the infinite number of parallel universes created as an effect of the paradox locks on Brainstorm's briefcase. This pocket universe will allow us to work in some characters whose circumstances in canon don't allow for them to be on the Lost Light otherwise - be it that they have died (in the case of Pipes, Trailbreaker, and Ambulon) or were never actually on the Lost Light in the canon universe, but joined in the parallel universe (this could be any number of characters). This event will be open until Saturday, May 21, to give us time to play out some threads and introduce some characters. Game play for the event will take place in the forum entitled "The Quantum Enigma", alongside our usual RP forums. After the event, the forum will be put into Read-Only mode and any characters picked up for the event will be integrated into the main RP storyline because, heck, we're barely following canon at the moment anyways. Any questions about the event can be asked here! The event officially opens tomorrow, April 20!

Helloooooo Nurse

QUESTION (ofc its me with 101 questions, I'm so sorry you all must eye roll when I ask RIP) So is /everyone/ fair game bc I'm torn between Apping Misfire or Nickel-- I remember talk of a Scavenger event on its own before and I can totally hold off on apping him OR nickel if you wanted to do later Scavenger/DJD themed events. I just wanted to ask before I futz around and then its like "Lmao I shoulda waited" is all-- Especially since it's kinda greed for me to pick up a second character now when this is chance for??? so many new people as is aaaaaaaaaa. |

I'm a little on the fence about Nickel, since she's very clearly with the DJD and we have yet to know how the whole thing with the DJD is going to play out in canon. She could very easily be a dangerous little 'Con to have on board (though the same could be said of Ravage). The circumstances of the pocket universe for the event have been left vague and up for interpretation for the sake of letting players have a little free reign, though. So if you'd like to brainstorm some ideas of how Nickel (or Misfire, or any of the Scavengers) would end up on board and run them past me, I think you can go ahead and do that. This is an event to shake things up a bit, after all! |

I'd be interested to see an alternate Shockwave. How alternate are you thinking, like an alternate Senator Shockwave? |

kinda? the events of dark cybertron happened in his universe, but the time drive ended up becoming dangerously unstable and he lost control of it as his brain reconnected itself to who he was before the shadowplay, since he wasnt focussing so much on trying to keep it together, and he ended up in another universe just before his collapsed (which is the one the lost light seems to have run into) the time drive is still a part of him and wired deep into his systems, but no longer has power, since that universe and its ores are nonexistent now so like. hes got his personality (more or less) back, but now hes gotta deal with what hes done |

What an interesting opportunity for a shattered glass Lost Light universe. |

hi! i was talking to storm about applying for a character for the special event, and i'm trying to narrow down who would be interesting/useful? i'm kind of just talking out loud here because i feel weird walking into a forum... out of nowhere... my main Stable option is soundwave. soundwave would be interesting because of ravage, megatron, any other decepticons? i was also thinking about how wheeljack could work in a situation less immersed in like, city reconstruction. but one of the characters i'm always interested in role playing is vos... which i realize is #messy esp since we have the ongoing happening as you mentioned with nickel. i have a couple ideas of how having vos on the lost light could work, though. i had a small au rp once where trailcutter survived ofsted xviii, (i think kaon wasn't there at all), vos was taken into custody, megatron kept him from being summarily executed, and a lot of intense ship politics and psychological bullshit ensued surrounding the whole situation on the lost light and megatron's actions and perceived loyalties. including vos having to deal with having been left behind to die by the djd (no resolution/reunion to resolve that), discovering megatron-the-autobot from megatron himself, and figuring out where that left him in the end of things as a hyper-loyal decepticon. and a lot of other... shit. so like. in a horrible writing type of way i was always very pleased with that plot arc. in an unrelated vein, i also have very elaborate backstory developed for vos both in prewar periods and early wartime periods, so if there were any kind of temporal stuff going on, that's something i could potentially... mess with? a vos who has never actually been 1) with the djd or 2) perhaps a decepticon, and what that means for how other people react to him in a modern world? idk... idk... i'm sorry this is a lot ot throw at a lot of people, only some of whom know me. (hi i'm alder / ... aka tumblr user vos, in a shocking twist). if you guys are really Eehh about throwing a djd member on the ship, i can almost definitely flesh something out for soundwave, so!! i just wanted to explore some stuff i guess. ;; |

I've put some thought into it and, like with my response about Nickel, with the right situations in mind, either Soundwave or Vos could be a very interesting addition to the crew. Of course, the crew's going to be a lot less accepting of Vos than Soundwave, considering that the current crew is aware that Vos was there when their Trailbreaker was killed, so there'd be animosity towards him. But I do think it would be an interesting way to go with the plot we've got going and either situation you've provided (or something along the lines) would work, in my opinion. (Also, hello! Nice to meet you!) |
