GATHER ROUND FOR SOME

SCORPIO EVENT INFORMATION AND UPDATES!!

As was talked about in the previous mod post, 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...read on to find out how this may affect you, or the option of bowing out, should you not be able to do this event.

IF YOU ARE A SCORPIO, YOU WILL BE AFFECTED THUS:
► Your personality traits and quirks will slowly start to 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.
► You can get Personas a level higher than you in the Aramid Room (They will be unable to call them after the event is over)
► 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 not get any emotional difference.
► However on the 13th hour of the 23rd, you will get your Mutation skill unlocked. (And only during that hour)
► 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 RIGHT HERE
► 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.

EVENT TIMELINE:
► 19th: Characters start acting a tiny bit more energetic than usual if they are Scorpios, and the Leos, Aquarius and Taurus find themselves being a little more nervous. However both can be chalked up to "having a weird day"
► 20th: Symptoms get worse, looks like that bad day wasn't just one bad day after all.
► 21st: Wow this is a really weird weekend, not only is it raining, but some people are acting really weird.
► 22nd: Okay something is obviously very wrong. The eyes of the Scorpios have changed and they seem to be getting malicious, and the Leos, Aquarius and Taurus are screaming how this place is doomed and how we will all die.
► 23rd: Oh god little scorpion things everyone, zombie townspeople, demons acting erratic.
► 23rd, 13th Hour: GIANT MONSTER SCORPIO!!

SIGNUPS
Again, they can be found [RIGHT HERE]. Keep in mind this is just for the final boss. THE FINAL DAY FOR SIGNING UP IS SUNDAY AT 12PM

We hope you will enjoy this event and hopefully save the fine city of Hinoto-Ri.

w e l p I shoulda worked more on Pit's Zodiac treasures post thingy

I'd like to do something with his weapons during these events, but I'm wondering: would they be stronger or weaker? For example, since this is the Scorpio event, would his Scorpio Staff be stronger while Leo Canon, Aquarius Blade and Taurus Arm (why the fuck did I remember this without reference) be weaker?

(Until the day of the event and then his Scorpio Staff totally mutinies on him)

Since Cloche is going to be Leo-freaking, Luca's probably going to try Dive Therapy to calm her down.

I know it won't be able to calm her down entirely as long as the boss is alive, so could Dive Therapy at least let her sleep or reduce the fear for a set period of time?
(Otherwise the IPD Symptoms are probably going to result in a lot of property damage, which we don't want ~~yet~~.)

Guybrush being cowardly? Is this really a NEW thing?

Edited 2012-10-19 06:52 (UTC)

At least he's got a 19-meter tall killing machine?

Terrified Archangels are a go

arrive in hinoto-ri, have complete meltdown a few days later

sounds p. cool

Time to be very un-Jedi-like. Or hide in her room and meditate, which is technically very Jedi-like in her opinion.

Should have made Force Immunity a power, but nooo I wanted to stick to movie-ish stuff
