BDE: Nemesis!

Nemesis Plot Info Post:

From September 18th - 21st, Fandom High will be seeing a new bunch of visitors to the island.

Nope. Not Family. Or Robots. Or dinosaurs.

It's your own worst enemy. (Unless your family, robots or dinosaurs are your worst enemy.)

How does that work? Well, elsewhere in the universe there is a parallel version of Fandom. One that is darker. Eviller. Like Fandom, their island is a small one with their own school (Nemesis Academy) and town except... y'know. EVIL. They know about Fandom and they want its oh-so-delicious steampunk technology and magical squirrels for their own nefarious needs.

As it so happens, this parallel island, aka "Nemesis Island," also has evil/darker opponents to our characters here in Fandom. In the course of the plot, various characters will face off against their evil counterpart either in a random encounter or in a tournament setting for what will hopefully be a good time for everyone.

Players will be allowed to pick their "Nemesis" character from either their canon or from another Fandom if they so wish. For example:

Canon Choice Examples:

* Rory may choose Paris Gellar to be her character to face off against.
* Cable may choose to have Stryfe be his character to face off against.


Different Fandom Choice:

* Deadpool could choose Slade Wilson aka The Terminator from DC Comics
* Worf could face an alien from the Predator movies.
* The Fandom Squirrels could face off against the Nemesis Chipmunks. #$@%ing Chipmunks.


A sign-up post will be going up shortly for everyone to sign up for their choice of enemies for them to face and must be approved by the administrators. If you decide to choose an enemy from a fandom present in our game, please make sure to check with the players in that fandom to make sure it is okay with them first. If you are looking to have a violent or heavy duty plot occur during this BDE, please make sure you submit it to the administrators for their approval. You can either write the opponent yourself, or recruit/draft/bribe someone else into writing him or her for you.

No original characters are allowed as a nemesis for your character.

During the plot you will have two options for how to have your character and his or her enemy interact:

Random Encounter: All approved nemesis characters will have encounters with the corresponding player characters in three days of chaos and insanity that will send the squirrels' minds a-spinning.

The Tournament: This is pretty much like it sounds. Players can apply to have their character face off against his or her nemesis in a "battle" of their choosing. And when I say battle I don't necessarily mean a fight scene where the two characters pound away and shoot each other. (Which yes probably will happen but...) For example:

* Ned could face off against Mrs. Lovett from Sweeney Todd in a baking competition.
* Turtle could face off against a teenaged Gordon Gekko from Wall Street in a day-trading competition
* Rikku could face off against Greed from Soulcaliber in trying to steal a certain item from a bank or Fortress.


The more imaginative your "tournament challenge," the more likely you'll have a chance to participate. There are limited slots, and only a few will go to conventional physical fights. While we might all like to have our characters walk away winners, for the purpose of the plot we'll need people also willing to lose their battles. Tournament participants will be chosen primarily based on plotty needs and the potential drama of the battle. If we get too many good applicants for the tournament, we will draw names out of the hat to decide who participates.

And of course because this is a Big Damn Event, it also means that there will be a Research Team and a Special Task force that will eventually help us save the day!

More details regarding the event will be revealed as we get closer to the 18th, but in the meantime we have OCD threads below to help us get this sucker started:

ETA: Deadline for Apps is September 10th
