Death
| ★ Death Death happens on the Astral Plane. In fact, from the hints given by some of the hosts, it may even be integral to the Machine's functioning. Though death is not permanent, there are consequences, and mod permission is needed before it can happen. ★ General Consequences Characters who die will disappear for a period of time (at least a day, but more time is allowed) and wake up in a drugged haze on a lab table. Jhil will tell you to get out (her hands covered in blood), while her cousin offers a paper cup of tea to go. Characters who have been revived will find their blood now nearly black with shimmers of what looks like gold dust or, perhaps more appropriately, like stardust. If a character does not share their reality with anyone, their reality will stay time-locked while they are gone, just as it is when they are on the Plane. If they do share a reality with someone, time will go on without them until they come back. ★ Particular Consequences Depending on the number of deaths, the consequences change. The changes are set out below. ★ 1st & 2nd Deaths: For the first and second deaths a character experiences, they go through two changes. Their abilities may change, either increased or decreased in power. They may have new abilities or have lost something. For example, a character may be a normal human being prior to dying, and after waking up, they may be a normal human being with an allergy to bees. Alternately, someone with mild telepathic abilities may find their abilities amplified. The second change is one of reality. Because death is a traumatic event, it should be traumatic enough to cause reality to change back home. Possibly, they'll get bits of their childhood home to comfort them through the experience. Possibly, there will be bits of a horrible part of their life where they had to go through hell. ★ 3rd Death: The third time a character dies, they will go through the same changes experienced in their first and second deaths, with the addition of a large suppression of some of their memories. This can be a memory of a particular time, a certain person, or an incident. Whatever it is, it is a loss of a part of the self - either from the trauma of death or because the Machine has taken away a little piece of who that character is. The memories can be recovered, but to recover pieces of them would require strong triggers, and to recover them fully would be even more difficult. ★ 4th Death & Onwards: Those who die four or more times will experience a reality change and memory loss. They will also gain an ability as dictated by the moderators. This change will be based on who they are, but like all deaths, it draws them that much more into the Machine. ★ Form If a character is dying, you comment here with this information: The number of deaths is inclusive. If the death you are requesting is their second time dying in the Machine, put down the number two. A reminder that you don't need to fill out the reality change in the reality change post as well. As long as it's here, we're good! Please wait for a moderator to approve your crime before you actually kill your character. Once we do, have fun! |

Character Journal:
Why they are dying: The Master shot him and quite possibly he is bleeding to death and missing some internal organs. MEAN.
Change in ability: If Emil does manage to fuck himself up, I think he should be able to see mana signatures like a half-elf. It's sort of like a person's aura. Mana flows through everything, and since Ratatosk is a Summon Spirit and lives BECAUSE of mana, it's not too far of a stretch for the twins to make him able to see it in his human body.
Change in reality: Parts of Tethe'alla and Sylvarant will begin to separate, causing highly unstable vortexes where water falls up, people tumble through the floor, that sort of thing. It'll be most prevalent at the old sites, such as canonically the temple of earth.
Note: this is pending since I want to talk to Maggie but she isn't on. Will reply with "DISREGARD THIS, I SUCK COCKS" if canonmate does Not Approve.

Why they are dying: Because he's in a deathmatch against Robespierre.
Change in ability: Oliver's natural empathy will shift into a minor ability to actually feel the emotions of others. While he and another person maintain eye contact, he will feel the emotions that they are currently experiencing. (This is, of course, subject to the mental abilities of the character in question.)
Change in reality: The remains of the building near Selly Oak that just about took his life (and did take some of his memories) when it blew up will show up only blocks from his and Anna's flat on Gondovan.

Why they are dying: Deathmatch, death by suicidal keyblade to the heart.
Change in ability: Super hearing! (On that note, is there anything special I should begin to note that Roxas would hear? Such as the Machine's gears and such below the floor, or maybe if black blood pumps louder/slower/faster than regular blood.)
Change in reality: Worlds throughout the Kingdom Hearts multiverse will start experiencing much longer twilit periods, although they won't be perpetual like Twilight Town.
As a side note, I don't think this post is actually linked to... anywhere. Nor is it actually tagged. That's why it took me so long to find it and actually put this in. orz;

Why they are dying: Blood falls, Axel dies. (Plot event.)
Number of deaths: This is the first one. Unlike his canon counterpart, his heroic sacrifices FAIL.
Change in ability: Taking a page out of Avatar here and giving Axel budding manipulation of electricity/Thunder/Thundara/THUNDAGA!!!!. New and creative ways of blowing shit up? HELL YES.
Change in reality: This one's a little more subtle, but sometimes when he looks out of windows, even the gummi ship's cockpit, he'll be able to see the inside of the basement floors of Castle Oblivion.

Why they are dying: Canon's catching up with a vengeance.
Number of deaths: This is his first (please be gentle~)
Change in ability: His telekinetic and telepathic powers get dialed Up To Eleven, to a point where he notices and can't keep as firm a hold on them because he's just not used to them being that strong. (Kind of like a kid hitting a growth spurt and wondering why their arms are suddenly a foot longer than they were last week.)
Change in reality: Any damage to a temple, no matter how severe, will appear to be fixed to a pristine condition to anybody passing through, though from the outside, they'll still look like ruined. Also general merger clean-up, so any merges with dropped characters will disappear.

Why they are dying: Riku's freeing him from the candy event.
Number of deaths: 2
Change in ability: Emil would lose his sense of pain.
Change in reality: Every library he finds is actually Sybak's library. The books are all the same, and it's always empty, like when people go into the Shop. But no one else seems to see it. If he isn't alone, the library will be the way it should be.

Why they are dying: Double-KO in the fight with Emil - he saves him from the candy effects, but not without paying for it himself.
Number of deaths: First!
First ever Plane death ever. Wow it's about timeChange in ability: His balance has shifted, so to speak - instead of equal control over the light and the darkness, his power over the darkness has increased a few degrees... but his power over the light has equivalently decreased.
Change in reality: No matter what world Riku visits, somewhere, somehow, he will see a very particular tree from Destiny Islands that he always used to hang around...

Why they are dying: Because it's Mu's fault bwuahahah~! No really, he died by Mu's hand during the No Emotional Barriers event.
Number of deaths: /inserts one coin!
Change in ability: Saga will break large/medium objects and shatter small ones nearby in response to the intensity of the negative emotion he feels in that moment: annoyance could turn into anger, sadness into pain, etc.
Change in reality: He won't be able to watch the Gemini constellation in his reality nor in any other where the 88 constellations are known and exist, except for everybody. The only sources will be books, magazines, internet

Why they are dying: Whodunnit plot
Number of deaths: This is his first...
Change in ability: Eithan's magic needs recalibrating!! Just like a fine-tune on a machine being accidentally bumped too high, Eithan's explosions and fire are going to be a little more finicky than usual, erring on the side of more volatile than less. This is something he can eventually figure out and readjust to, but it's gonna be a pill in the meanwhile.
Change in reality: The divide between Tharia and Meridia is a little bit thinner now. Travel between the two via the constructed portals will now take a little less time, and additionally, there will be the vaguest hint of night sky bleed-over: constellations mixing, important stars exchanged... etc.

Why they are dying: Murder plot!
Number of deaths: 1st death, muhaha.
Change in ability: Jamie will gain the power of Pyrotechnic Projection, which will allow him to make lovely flashy and loud fireworks that don't do much to start - although if it would be okay to make them stronger over time and give them an explosive component I would love that! Also he might accidentally set some stuff on fire with them, sorry about that.
Change in reality: Haggis no longer exists in his reality, Robert Burns's 'Address to a Haggis' has become 'Address to a Blood Pudding', and so on. It's a terrible sacrifice, but it has to be made.

Why they are dying: Who Dun It plot -- murdered.
Number of deaths: this is the first
Change in ability: Rail has gone for years without his sense of touch, but upon returning, he'll have that returned to him.
Change in reality: The main communication system for Rail and the other Lamia are the Twins, a pair of consciences that live in special water and take over the bodies of random humans by having them drink the water. "Sham" is the name of the conscience that takes over male bodies. Anyway, they're everywhere. You can't swing a dead cat on the street without hitting a Hilton or Sham, and if you call for them in any significant location to the Lamia, they'll show up. And Rail knows this -- and after his death, every time a Sham calls his name and he looks at them, for a second the Sham, whatever his actual appearance may be, will appear as Huey Laforet in Rail's eyes. It'll disappear if he blinks.

Change in ability: Doc will have the ability to spontaneously summon a chunk of wall (specifically, the one from the base at Valhalla), which will appear around him with him stuck in it just like old times. He can also dismiss it at will.
Change in reality: In honor of Doc's time at Jamaica State, occasionally when he is in his reality, a coconut will fall from the sky in his vicinity.

Why they are dying: Mysteriously killed! By who? WHO KNOWS! Dun dun duuuuun... (Aka Whodunnit plot~)
Number of deaths: This is his first!
Change in ability: Loki's shadow clone/doppelgänger spell will evolve. Originally, he could create doppelgänger to distract and he'd direct them to act in the ways he wanted but that was about it. They were a means of distraction. Now? He can project himself into any doppelgänger body and take full control over it until the doppelgänger body is killed. The doppelgänger won't shimmer and fade away like it used to if it was hit. If/when it is "killed", he can still return to his normal body without any worry that he'll be completely disembodied. And if he wanted, he could hop from doppelgänger to doppelgänger to really fuck with someone.
However, to do this, he has to make sure his real body is somewhere safe, or there's a huge risk of it being harmed. If his real body is fatally wounded, he'll be pulled back into it and remain stuck in there. Also, when he returns to his real body, whatever damage the doppelgänger bodies receive, the real body will receive 10% of the actual damage, but will feel 100% of the pain. (For example, say he received a killing blow of a sword through his heart. The places where the sword punctured his body will bleed, but won't be deep at all; just surface cuts. The phantom pain, however, will be excruciating and there won't be anything he can do to stop it, but it will fade in time.) It'll just have to be one of those things he puts up with, and make him think about whether he wants to take over a doppelgänger body or not. Note: if he doesn't occupy doppelgänger bodies, then there's no change to him in his real body nor to them. No pain or wounds they receive will show up on his body, and they'll still shimmer/fade if they're hit. He just has to be occupying one of the bodies at the time for anything different to happen.
Change in reality: The Asgardian chefs suddenly perfected a cold, sweet treat similar to Midgardian ice cream (naturally, it's made with better Asgardian versions of the ingredients so it's fucking rich as hell), and now it can be bought in markets and other corner stands, and is a staple dessert for feasts from now on.

Change in ability: Sam will regain his ability to have premonitions, which seem to have disappeared after the ordeal with Azazel and closing the devil's gate in Wyoming.
Change in reality: Bottles of Vitamin Water will randomly appear in the backseat of the Impala. ( Because Dean hates the stuff and I'm amused with myself for thinking of it. )

Change in ability: Mu wakes to find that he now has Eidetic Memory. This only applies going forward from his resurrection - events that happened before that are not recalled any differently than they were before.
Change in reality: Jamir will now be lush and full of hardy little mountain flowers and grass, instead of barren and grey.

Why they are dying: his shadow gon' go berserk on his ass.
Number of deaths: second one!
Change in ability: in addition to his formerly reclaimed precog abilities, he'll also regain his demon exorcising abilities - but without needing to drink demon blood to do it. ( the effect will be moderately weak, and he would need to be prompted to even try it at all since he assumes that it isn't even an issue anymore. )
Change in reality: he will begin seeing the amulet he gave to dean as a christmas gift when they were kids on random people he passes, no matter where he is, regardless of the fact that dean threw it away way back in season five.

Why they are dying: Protecting York from his own Shadow
Number of deaths: first!
Change in ability: The short of it: Jacqli learns Pastalie Hymmnos. This means she has more possibilities with her songs.
The long of it: this means that Jacqli now has access (in a sense) to both the Tower and the Infel Phira song server. It's a two-edged blade, really: while her song crafting has more possibilities, there are now two ways to permanently cut off her life force, as if anyone were to mess up Infel Phira, it would have the same devastating effects as if someone messed with The Tower.
Change in reality: Funbuns are beginning to become a fad in Metafalss now, slowly replacing the fugly imitation - the Funboon (jacqli sneers in the distance - that somehow became more popular than the superior ~real thing~.

Change in ability: Enhanced eyesight - he was probably bordering juuust a bit on actually needing glasses before, but now he's even better than 20/20. (I'm thinking right around 20/8, since that is supposedly the best recorded human vision seen)
Change in reality: There has been an increase in the populations of all blue species of butterflies! They are now much more common in general.. (It's ~symbolic~ okay djfal)
