APRIL UPDATES (PART 1)
▼ Welcome to another Strings update!
It may still be April 1st (for the next 5 minutes), but this update is no joke! Due to the information involved, the post will be broken into two parts, with tomorrow focusing on the city itself and open logs, this one with future events and signups.
If you haven't checked out the CALENDAR please do so now so that the following will make more sense for you!
First of all, once the closed Mictlan log is over, the dungeon will be open to all for exploring! This time with monster lists and maps, so you will be able to go down there, visualize what it is like and explore in your own logs to your heart's content. There will be a document given out, but for now since the log is still fresh, we're waiting before sharing it with everyone (not to mention it will be changed, depending on what the characters will do).
This being said, we once again encourage you to suggest to us player plots, be it in your character's own universe or something they'd like to do in the city. You can find the form RIGHT HERE!

▼ Persona Generators are updated
- An easier to understand menu with color coding. Anything in a darker green is a new spell for that group that wasn't there before, anything in yellow means the previous restriction was lifted (so a spell that required a healing skill but now doesn't would be yellow).
- Combat users have much more attacking spells, but healing skills climb slower than passive users. Additionally, their skills are upgraded based on 4 tiers of levels (spells 1-2, 3-4,5-6,7-8) instead of just two like before (it also fits better the strange level issues we had before like a small healing spell that shows up the same time for one person or all users). Many, many new spells that deal additional damage, and status affects.
- Passive/Support users now have even more unique skills to choose from, giving them a much bigger grasp on being support, especially when it comes to the higher levels. They have more powerful healing spells compared to combat users and finally, we've added the lowest nuclear skill for them to use (before they didn't have any, we're sorry!)
- The Almighty spells that were not direct attacks have been giving more power for both groups. Foul Breath increases all status attacks by 30% for yourself, for example, so it can really make certain battles interesting.
If you notice any mistakes in wording, or skills, just tell us so we can fix it as soon as possible! As a note, the basic lists now need to be updated to fit with these new skills, so for now consider these generators the ones with the right information.
▼ MONTHLY EVENT INFORMATION
APRIL 1ST: DOLPHIN TAKEOVER
There's a post about this RIGHT HERE! Dolphins have been trolling the city for this day and claimed April 1st as Dolphin Day! You can make your own computer posts of them wrecking havoc; what they do to your character is entirely up to you.
APRIL 15TH: ARAMID ROOM VISIT
This time there will be a log for the other room found in this game. Again, you will be allowed to thread out requests if you like. This pair is a little different than the Velvet Residents, mind you. After all, this is Nyarlathotep's territory.
APRIL 18TH-20TH: ARIES BATTLE
One thing to note is that the battle against the Aries monster will be brutal. There will be a lot of collateral damage, although limited to the area the creature itself is in.
Signups will close on APRIL 7th for log preparations. There will be backup characters if there are enough signups in case someone has an unforeseen issue.
APRIL 23RD
This will be a post regarding next month's rescue event.

▼ THE ARIES BATTLE
More information will be given to prepare, but what you need to know for now is that this battle may leave a few people in the hospital.
There is a risk of serious physical and mental damage while fighting this boss.
The signups will be limited to 3 (perhaps 4 depending on total submissions) characters. Players will be required to have either AIM or SKYPE and have free time during the 18th-20th for AIM/Skype sessions, exact times to be determined, as we will be doing this semi-rapid fire style.
As always, whoever gets picked will be done via Random Number Generator.

MINERVA MCGONAGALL (Harry Potter)
BENEFITS:
Visitors: Minerva may be able to teach magic to those who are talented. Once she is rescued and recognizes she needs to help the Visitors more directly, she may open up a school. She also has a spell repertoire that is useful against demons.
City: Additional magic spells to keep demons at bay, magical tutelage.
RESCUE RISKS: High (Hard Rescue)
REIKO AKANEZAWA & IDEO HAZAMA (Shin Megami Tensei: if...)
BENEFITS:
Visitors: Reiko and Ideo will send demons to fight alongside Visitors during major boss fights. Additionally, Reiko and Ideo will create an assorted collection of Demon Apps over time to aid the Visitors in their day to day operations.
City: Training in Demon Summoning and Demon Contracting.
RESCUE RISKS: Medium (Two Medium Rescues) [Must Rescue Both Simultaneously!]
BYRON ORPHEUS (The Venture Bros.)
BENEFITS:
Visitors: Dr. Orpheus will train the Visitors to ignore high-frequency shrieks above a certain amplitude as they grow accustomed to his normal manner of speech. He may teach some Dark Magic so long as Minerva isn't paying attention.
City: Stronger demons are kept at bay outside the 13th Hour. Without his necromantic powers, the outskirts of the city are exceedingly dangerous.
RESCUE RISKS: High (Hard Rescue)
CIEL (Mega Man Zero)
BENEFITS:
Visitors: Ciel maintains some aspects of the Visitor-used public network and the City's public transportation. Her research into energy fields may also prove important for understanding the barrier surrounding Hinoto-Ri...
City: Public transportation will be restored and run smoothly without incident.
RESCUE RISKS: Minimal (Easy Rescue)
BRAINSTORM (Transformers)
BENEFITS:
Visitors: Brainstorm maintains some aspects of the Visitor-used public network and develops extreme inventions and weaponry for high-risk missions. For those who require mechanical upkeep, he is also an expert in robotics and machinery.
City: Weaponry to better fight back against the demon threat.
RESCUE RISKS: High (Hard Rescue)
TAKEHARU KIRIJO (Persona 3)
BENEFITS:
Visitors: Takeharu heads the Development Department Branch in M.A.G.I. headquarters. This allows the branch to resume business properly. While the Research Branch brainstorms the technology, the Development Branch is what makes them useful for the city. If there is only a Research Branch, nothing will be properly built.
City: Technology that keeps the city maintained and running with minimal effort on citizens. This allows them more time to take care of more pressing matters such as demons or having enough food for everyone.
RESCUE RISKS: Medium (Medium Rescue)
EIICHIRO TAKEBA (Persona 3)
BENEFITS:
Visitors: Eiichiro heads the Research Branch at the M.A.G.I. headquarters. This allows the branch to resume business properly and begin looking into technology to make living in the city easier: items such as transporters, money cards and the COMPS were at first thought of and tested here.
City: New technology periodically that could improve city life.
RESCUE RISKS: High (Hard Rescue)
BENEFITS:
Visitors: Minerva may be able to teach magic to those who are talented. Once she is rescued and recognizes she needs to help the Visitors more directly, she may open up a school. She also has a spell repertoire that is useful against demons.

The THIS LINK to take you to the post where you can suggest places you think the characters could go for the rescue. Keep in mind that we may not know all the fandoms, and we'll use it to help us with ideas about the rescue itself. Who knows, your idea might get picked out. Suggest as many places as you want, and suggest where as well (so let's say you want Star Wars during Old Republic but having it be an aerial battle.)
Suggest to your heart's content and let's have more fun together, Destiny Strings!

MOD QUESTONS
GENERATOR ISSUES
no subject
no subject
As a note; there's still an error if you active it on both Combat and Support at the same time, but since no one does that I left it as-is. I'll clean up the coding later today since the result page hasn't been touched.
no subject
Don't know if this applies to level 2 or level max generators, butwhen I was making a level 3 Persona, the results page showed it as level 1.Both level 2 and level max generators have this problem as well.

ARIES BOSS SIGNUPS
The group will require at least one Support user, so support users will get two random rolls: the first to determine who will be the support user, and then everyone remaining will be rolled with everyone else for a chance at being a party member.

- Animorphsverse either before the final arc (so covert war) or during the final arc (so all-out war)
- .hack universe, probably during SIGN but during G.U. is also possible (though I'd need help with that)
- Legend of Zeldaverse, probably after Ocarina of Time but before is also possible (dungeon run! with traps! and keys that break after a single use!)
- SMTIVverse, probably either midgame or during the chaos ending because of course I did chaos ending first playthrough
- Karasverse, during the course of the OVA so we can have them trapped in Eko's tower
and Otoha can use his powers to distract Eko long enough to save someoneno subject
ew chaos endingJAPANIFORNIA YES
