FEAR GAS EVENT

"There's nothing to fear, but fear itself."

FEAR GAS EVENT


Many of you may be familiar with Scarecrow, one of the most famous amongst Batman's villains. If not, well, here's a brief recap: Scarecrow is a madman obsessed with learning and exploiting the fears of others. Primarily he does this with use of his infamous fear gas, a substance that causes a person to hallucinate a realistic scenario of their worst fears. The world around you seems to form into your worst nightmare, mutating to accustom your discomforts and frighten you.

So guess what's going to happen? Yeah, the Rift is going to drop in a few canisters of fear gas. It doesn't stop there, of course. The Joker is going to be delighted that Doctor Crane's gas has arrived and is more than happy to share his excitement with the entire station! So much so that he's going to share it with everyone by dumping the stuff into the vents. Have fun breathing that in! Which also means you get to face your worst fears.

Bear in mind that the hallucinations are hyper realistic and takes the will of a Batman to fight off. Some people can -- after experiencing those discomforting fears. And they may come back, because that gas is pouring on in for a few days.

Some key notes:
- The event will begin on Apirl 27th and it will end on May 4th.
- If you need a good example of how the fear gas will affect your character, here's a good example of the gas affecting Batman in one of the games, Arkham Asylum.
- If you want a synthetic character affected, we can push to say that the gas has evolved from the Rift somehow and has micro-nanites that can act as a temporary virus to affect the processor.
- When the event ends, it can be due to one of two factors: (A) Someone is able to set up a cure for the gas somehow and spreads it through the vents, or (B) Hypatia flushes the vents clean.

I think that about covers it! If you guys have any questions, please ask 'em here.

WELLP. THIS SHOULD BE FUN...

... and by fun I mean traumatizing. Once I figure out what to do.

Well, it occurs to me that Normandyhaus all have breather apparatuses, and they're intensely paranoid about the computer suddenly venting all the air on the station...so it's not out of the realm of feasibility that they could slap them on (knee-jerk-reaction) before they were (all) affected and try to run damage control while everyone else flipped out.

Who knows what those hallucinating people will accidentally break? And it might be a good way to get cross-canon CR across the board.

Or they could go nuts.

Both are good.

I think this is also acceptable! So it'll give people a good idea of how to react, if they want to.

ONLY SANE MAN IS GO THEN.

I mean yes that sounds like a good idea.

You sure? It's been almost six whole months since someone's demolished the base, after all.

We. May have to get a comemorative plaque.

man he was fucked up for four years because he killed Vyrnnus, and he didn't even like that prick, do you have any idea how bad it would mess with him if he accidentally killed someone he was fond of?

we'll save that shit for later.

I read that like an option wheel.

"...do you have any idea how bad it would mess with him if he accidentally killed someone he was fond of?"


 I couldn't do that to my character.
We'll save that shit for later.

yeah as i was typing that I started out thinking 'I WOULD NEVER DO THAT TO MY BOO' but as soon as i got to the end of the sentence it seemed like a good idea. Just not right now. Clearly your renegade is rubbing off on me.

Clearly.

Leaning towards "go nuts" but your idea makes more sense.

Though now I'm wondering whether their breathers have a limited air supply. :|a

We can always do boooth. :D

Though I was always under the impression that they filtered air too, when it was available. Else that air supply is pretty hefty given all the missions they do in hazard zones.

In any case, I was planning on having something go awry with Shepard so she got slammed with fear-gas before the end, so w/e w/e?

Yeah, they probably do, but what about missions on airless moons and stuff? Hmm.

Ooh. Sounds like fun.
