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.

Alan won't be a Big Problem on the fear gas. How it's going affect is he's going to constantly think Sam is in some kind of danger. This could problematic if he creates some kind of negative feedback loop that, in his paranoia, leads him to sic Grid or Tron or anything remotely "a threat."

Fenris is going to be a mess. Looking for volunteers for him to hallucinate as Danarius (his abusive, former master that he had already killed), his sister Varania (who betrayed him to said master, and who he nearly killed for it), or any other powerful magister that will send him over the edge.

NOTE/TW: Fenris's back story deals heavily in physical and sexual abuse. With that in mind, I would like to keep references to rape and torture at an absolute minimum. I can try to avoid it with anyone wanting to participate in his part in the event. Please, please let me know in advance to actively avoid any mention of sexual abuse when tagging.

If any of mine tag with him during the event, I'm fine with it.

Zhaneel has much the same issues (emotional and physical abuse), so I should throw up a post like this too.

Thanks for the headsup!
