PORT: NPC Claiming (& Clarifications)

[bargemods]

PORT: Land of the Dead
Dates: 11/17-11/20

Hey everyone, the Land of the Dead port will start tomorrow. So now that you've had a chance to think about this port and come up with some ideas, it's time to formally claim your NPCs. So old characters from the Barge or OCs for this port, state them here.

NOW, a few clarifications (and a simplified timeline of events) so that everyone is on the same page:

1) The timeline of how this will go down:

1. The Barge will dock in Mexico. Everything is normal and the Day of the Dead celebrations are underway.
2. Rex, Perry and Ana will set off the nanomite bomb after almost everyone has disembarked and try to make a run for it. The Doctor will suss out what's happening, the three will be taken down and the nanomites will be deactivated.
3. Unfortunately, the Barge will be damaged badly enough to screw with its magic and the Barge and all the wardens and inmates will be pulled into the Land of the Dead. This will mean your character is effectively dead (in terms of vital signs stopping, no healing from wounds, etc), though it won't actually hurt or feel like anything much.
4. The Admiral will make an announcement and assign everyone an item to fetch so that he can repair the Barge and set about trying to get the old girl moving.
5. Everyone goes into port (or stays with the Barge) and does whatever it is they're going to do.
6. Finally, after a few days in port, the Admiral will have fixed the Barge and be able to drag everyone (willing or not) back onto it and out of there!

2) Yes, your character will be dead. It won't be violent or painful for anyone as the Barge gets warped into the Land of the Dead, just an altered state. Your character may not even notice at first. It'll just be weird and a bit disorienting. The lack of vital signs and the local characters blabbing will be the things that will let them know just where they've ended up.

3) The Barge itself in the Land of the Dead will be quite damaged, but enough of it is intact that wardens and inmates CAN stay in it if they would like to. Level Zero, for example, will be partially destroyed, so if there is anyone in there, you have the option of saying they got "lucky" and get to explore the Land of the Dead or saying they got cheated and have to stay locked up.

4) Vampires will no longer have a need or a hunger to drink blood.

5) There is no integration into the Land of the Dead for our current Barge folk! NPC characters (that is, the former Barge people and OCs) will have been there for some time, however.

Also, guys, please. If you have questions or problems with this port, raise them here and we can get them sorted out. That's what plotting posts are for, after all. We would like everyone to have fun with this.
