As anyone who has been in chat recently has probably heard, my arc will be starting within a couple weeks time after the LCUP and Zion's mini arc. So before the arc begins, I wanted to address some things about the arc that some of you may not be very familiar with.

One thing before I start. THIS ARC IS GONNA BE PRETTY DARK. Not to say characters can't crack a joke, but if it's in a situation where a Joke is completely unwaranted, if a character were to make one, every other character is to look at that one in distaste, created an Awkward atmosphere that shies the character away from cracking said jokes in the wrong situation ever again. I love my comedy, but there is a time and place for it.

RP Style

My arc will play out differently in execution compared to other arcs. Instead of every character being in the spotlight as a whole, each character will take turns using that spotlight, while everyone else remains in the background. This is because each character needs to get personally involved in this arc. This means I will be going after whatever hurts a character the most psychologically, or if needed, physically.

This Arc will have a more linear structure, which means if I say "-we all walk with so and so-" or "-everyone is found imprisoned-" and so on, you will follow them without argument. We are not on the level yet where characters can just casually get out of any situation regardless. This is a heavily focused plot and I wish for everyone to respect that fact.

Choice

Now I know, by heart this is a very free wiki. Extreme flexability is always given in RP and to some extent, that's okay. This arc however will feature more restricted selections of choice. Characters can say whatever, whenever. And for the first few parts of the RP, there will be more choice, but as the plot becomes more focused, choice will become more limited. You can still say whatever, but I have it specifically planned so that you can't just DO whatever. Hopefully as the arc moves along, I won't have to worry about others just trying to do whatever the fuck they want.

Plot Armour

This is something that I don't like, and one of the ways I'm limiting choice is by making to where the wrong choice could put you out of commission or even worse. Don't worry though, I won't force DEATH on anyone, even though death would add more weight and urgency to the situation.

This is all I have for the moment. if you have any questions, contact me on Chat PM.
