Mod updates, October 2nd, 2012

And it's time for another round of...

WELCOME TO...

DESTINY STRIIIINGS UUUUUPDATES!!

These mods are a crazy and I don't think they take me seriously at all!

Open Log Roundup!

Look at all these open logs! Look at them and go join the fun!
► Guybrush tries to find plaid outfits Shall you go bother him?
► Atsuro Kihara trains in the Leo district. Can you hear the battle theme in the back?
► Kaito tries to find melted ice cream. Velvet Room requests are weird.
► AUTUMN FESTIVAL. Enjoy the very best of what the city has to offer.
► Ryuusei at his new job! Come pester!
► Yamato Hotsuin makes super fancy dragon things out of spoons. I think he's crazy...
► Arturia goes hunting for kitten supplies. Come on! Kittens!
► Link's starting his new job as night patrol in Capricorn. Don't let him see you getting into any funny business!
► Ruri lands the Battleships Nadesico in the park Please try not to fanboy too much, you robot nerds.

Reserves & Application Updates

► We're sorry about taking a bit slower to do the second batch, we're looking at them. Real Life has hit a few of our mods, so it is slowing down the process somewhat.

CHARTS, TAKEN LIST, PLAYER LIST, PLAYER PLOTS...

► Make sure you're updated in all the lists! TAKEN LIST, PERSONA REGISTRATION, PLAYER POST & the HMD.
► Got a job? Don't forget to post it in the JOB LIST and get it approved!
► And most certainly don't forget the PERSONA UPDATE LIST! use this to update your persona whenever they gain a new skill. There's no mod checking here, this is just we know how powerful your characters are.
► We love player plots! Submit them at [RIGHT HERE]

Event Calendar

The October Edition is out and you can find it [RIGHT HERE]. Along with the usual moon phases and the temperature, you will notice there are three events this month with the Scorpio Event being the BIG ONE. As always, you can opt out of any you don't want to be in.

Apartment and Job Fair Logs

Apartment log will be posted tomorrow. Job Fair will be posted this weekend! You will never be bored.

Tournament Demo

The Big Tournament hasn't started yet (it will be next month) but this will mark the first time that your characters can participate! This is just a showmanship and getting the crowd excited about all these newcomers (think of it as a tournament demo) where characters will Duel against each other for one round.

There will only be small prizes and no cash reward, but for using their Persona (and for most of you, using Evokers for the first time), it will also allow you to gain a new skill in their skill tree...which can be useful for the upcoming Zodiac Event. You can find out more information about dueling [RIGHT HERE]

If you are interested in signing up, you can do so below and fill out the form!

Scorpio Zodiac Event

As was talked about in the previous update, this month is the SCORPIO ZODIAC EVENT! On the 23rd in the 13th Hour, a giant Zodiac Demonic Monster will attack the city, along with small Scorpio creatures...and any townspeople and heroes (like you!) that are Scorpio will be affected.

Thankfully, it is defeatable. The zodiac, planet and the star alignments work in mysterious ways...and while some will be blessed to become stronger heroes, others will cower in fear and be unable to do anything.

IF YOU ARE A SCORPIO, YOU WILL BE AFFECTED THUS:
► Your personality traits and quirks will spike starting on the 19th into cardboard cutouts of Yourself. For example, if a character is a show off, they'd do extreme things, or couldn't stop crying, or become completely angry. Emotional turmoil is just crazy.
► The day before the event, your eyes will glow reddish or yellowish (You can pick the color, and if you have either red or yellow eyes already, obviously pick the other color.)
► On the date of the event, you will will have your face covered with a mask that you cannot remove until the Boss is defeated.
► And you will attack everyone else. Your Persona(s) will take on a dark taint, and all of your Personas will have their Mutation skill unlocked.
► This means everyone else will also need to try and not kill them (knocking them out is a good idea)

IF YOU ARE A PERFECT PARTNER (CANCER & CAPRICORN):
► You will get your Mutation skill unlocked.
► But you will also get swarmed by the tiny little shadow monster scorpions in the city so you'll need to defend yourself. (The attack with strike and poison damage)
► You will also have the Scorpios of the city swarm at you, zombie style, so it's not just the tiny bugs, but also the really big people in masks.
► And yes, this is not just the players but also includes the city populace so that is a lot of Scorpios.

IF YOU ARE MIDDLE GROUND (PISCES, VIRGO, ARIES, GEMINI, LIBRA & SAGITTARIUS)
► Will not feel anything different and are the sanest people wondering what the hell is wrong with everyone else.
► The Scorpio zombies and players will also attack you.
► The Scorpion monsters will as well, although not as bad as the perfect partners.

IF YOU ARE UNFORTUNATELY IN ASTROLOGICAL HELL...(LEO, AQUARIUS & TAURUS)
► You will only have their first THREE powers available (Keep in mind it is just during that main event day)
► You are filled with dread and terror starting on the 19th. At first it's just a weird need to jump at things, but as it goes on you start to get more and more paranoid. But the 22nd, we're talking hearing voices being whispered and needed to use tinfoil to cover your head, and screaming that we're all going to die into the COMP System.
► It somehow gets worse on the 23rd, when you have a permanent fear status on you (you cannot, however, be affected by fear=KO effects). It will disappear once the Boss is defeated.
► Are completely afraid of the boss and have no idea why.

FOR THE FINAL BOSS FIGHT:
► Signup and it has eleven slots (the forms are below)
► Each slot is for one zodiac sign. Yes, that includes the three hell signs which means you'll need to kick those people while they are screaming.
► Divided into three groups for faster posting order. Each group will attack one part of the Zodiac Boss in question.
► If you are picked for this boss battle, you can't join the next one.

THE OPT-OUT OPTION:
► Players who do not wish to participate are infected by Zodiac Rejection Syndrome in which, for some reason or another, they don't seem to be affected by the sickness that is covering the rest of the city. Think of it like everyone getting a massive cold and a few not having this problem. This does not mean that during the next round they would not be affected (if the player want to join, that time)
► KEEP IN MIND THAT MEANS YOU CANNOT PARTICIPATE IN THE EVENT (IE you can't use this to have would would be a Zodiac Hell character us this to curb the effect an then have them attack the monsters normally.)
► Additionally, they obviously do not get the power up / persona skills / items / etc that comes with being in the event either.

Halloween!

► MASCARADE! in the city streets! Protected streets, considering the Full Moon was just a few days ago. You deserve the party, considering you saved the city from the Zodiac Monster! Besides, on the most powerful spiritual days, even the demons take a day off and enjoy a time of frightful good times with the humanoids. Besides, with the costumes, who is really human and who isn't?

► ...oh and I guess that powerful spiritual kinda means that shadow-like copes of monsters and foes from your homeworld rode your strings here.

....Uh....woops?

► But it's okay! Enjoy that night since you won't find out until a few days later...

Monster List

Speaking of which, in a few weeks we will ask you to give us a list of monsters from your character's homeworlds that can start swarming parts of the city. Stay tuned!

Sexy CR and Persona Charts

Need a little bit of PIZAZZ for your charts? We've had three very awesome people making charts for us:

► Random made this badass CR chart, which you can get [RIGHT HERE]
► CHRIS made a Persona Chart based on TWI's and made it Destiny Strings Flavored. You can find this badass chart [RIGHT HERE]

Oh god, we're a month old!

THAT IS CRAZY.

AND AS ALWAYS....

THANK YOU AGAIN AND AGAIN

...and again. THANKS SO MUCH FOR BEING WITH US!
