Some reminders and notes for brand-bearers:
► Marks will appear on the body of the above. The location is player choice and may be singular or multiple. Feel free to be creative in the details of their appearance (read: colour, size, and so on). These marks may begin to slowly show from the time of this post and by the event date will be fully visible.
► Those marked will be subject to a variety of afflictions or situations [including but not exclusive to]—abductions, demonic or spiritual possession, mind control, a mysterious ability to cast elemental or blood magicks whether they normally can or can't, incoherent speech or perhaps no speech at all, and so on. If you don't like any of those options and want to suggest others, please reach out to the moderator team. We're pretty flexible here.
► Players may choose from multiple status effects of the above if they have a branded character. They may also choose a singular status or ability that they would like to have. There are no limits here, save common courtesy and communication with your thread partners.
► The branded will experience what feels like a 'call' or a 'lure' to Pessiria Forest. This 'call' will grow the closer we get to the event. By the time the event is live, there will be an overwhelming desire for those branded to pay visit to the forest. Characters will not know why, or what they'll find. Only that something important is drawing them there. The only way for the clearing, stone monuments, and pit cave to be located and discovered is if branded guide and navigate others to it. Please keep that in consideration for when the event goes live.
► Those who are branded will ultimately be thralls to the eldritch-like creature that is conjured by the robed figures responsible for the abductions of the prior NPCs (and any marked who choose to take advantage of this option). You will feel compelled to protect this creature and guard it with your life.
► The side effects from the branding / marks can be nullified when another person demonstrates an act of selflessness for the benefit of the afflicted. For instance, risking one's life for another's would qualify. Do not treat that as an exclusive option. It is only an example. It will not remove the mark itself, but it will remove the statuses that can be caused by the marking.
► The branded will find their marks to fully disappear within a few weeks after the event has started. They should be completely gone by before mid-June.
Some reminders for those not branded, but may be impacted by those who are:
► Those not branded will be especially vulnerable to the new abilities and afflictions, specifically should those they know be under this condition. This could be due to bonds of friendship, familial, romantic, or any other kind of relationship. They do not need to be extraordinarily emotionally close to the afflicted for this to take effect. This means these people who are not afflicted will be more susceptible to mind control and will feel inclined to serve or defend their known party in question.
► During the portion of the event where fighting the eldritch-like creature is an option, those not branded will also have the ability to fight their fellow Chosen who have been branded.
► The side effects from the branding / marks can be nullified when another person demonstrates an act of selflessness for the benefit of the afflicted. For instance, risking one's life for another's would qualify. Do not treat that as an exclusive option. It is only an example. It will not remove the mark itself, but it will remove the statuses that can be caused by the marking.
