The catch-all page for plot inquiries, NPC threads, investigations, player plots, plot suggestions, and everything else under that banner. Frequency of replies to NPC thread requests will be subject to mod availability, but we will do our best.

INVESTIGATIONS

This is where you come to seek out conversations with NPCs, have your character investigate the setting, or otherwise declare that your character is doing something we should know about. We are open to doing unsolicited NPC call-out threads but reserve the right to cut them short/handwave if they don't seem to be going anywhere or to limit their scope if we are overburdened. NPCs are not always guaranteed to be up for prolonged conversation, but you can try. To attempt to contact an NPC please put their name in the subject line. For conversations of general plot importance, we may ask you to make an closed log.

For investigations, you can freely use this page to have your character seek out information about the characters, setting, or plot. We do ask that you keep investigations to 1-3 inquiries at most, and to have those inquiries be somewhat related. If you want to investigate things that are completely unrelated, please put them in a separate comment. Additionally, please be specific about the approach your character is taking to find out information; their method will greatly impact how well it goes for them.

PLAYER PLOTS

Aion Teleos is designed to be open to player plots, and would be glad to accomodate them! Let us know in a comment below that you/your character is doing and how you'd like to approach it as a player run event. Please put the words "Player Plot" in the subject line.

PLOT SUGGESTIONS

If you don't specifically want to run a plot yourself but have some vague ideas of an event type you think would scratch an itch for the game, please let us know. We don't guarantee we'll use these ideas, but we will keep them in mind when designing future events.

npc interaction (tehri)

[coerthantorment]

Estinien, Abel, Himeka, Alphinaud, and Ryunosuke (AKA the whole PLeroma Innocence Promise Gang) will be approaching Tehri to basically just tell her what happened with the Innocence Entity. They will show her the Innocence marks and Estinien's entire... everything. This is both for her information but also so they can ask:

Has she heard anything about this creature before? If so, is there anyone besides her that might know more about it? Generally, just asking for her opinion on it and any advice she might have.

[aionmods]

Tehri would be quiet during the explanation of their ordeal, taking it all in with a stern expression. She would ask to see the marks on all of them and then nod and explain that this is the mark of an Aion. For further context she would explain that Aions of higher ascendance do have the ability to bind and mark individuals but the reasoning of why they do would vary from Aion to Aion. It is, in essence, a signed contract or promise.

She has not seen or heard of the Innocence Entity before and does find the description disturbing. She offers a theory of her own by explaining that there are certain areas of Horos that are particularly charged up with arcane magics and residual energies off of powerful Aions. But in regards to the Valley of the Innocence, there has always been a special aura around that place despite the fact that the valley isn't the domain of any particular Aion. She would ask if they felt it too when they were transported there from their escape from Achamoth.

Estinien's own transformation is troubling, but she will try to be polite as possible in sharing this news. Fortunately or not, she has never seen anything like this before. While Aion transformations typically come from within, outside forces can have an effect and influence on them. However, that should have been negated with his resurrection, as his body here is his own impression of his true self. She's not sure if this would mean that something else is at play (magics she doesn't understand) or the experience had left such an impression on him that he's incorporated it into his idea of himself.

She would recommend staying away from the Valley of Innocence for a while (though nothing she says gives any guarantee this would have an effect, this is purely cautionary on her part). Tehri would also suggest that Estinien spend some time reaffirming who he believes he is.
