Fall BDE 2022: The One With the Time Traveling Jerkass
It's the most wonderful time of the year...or is it? It could be both in the same week! Well, either way, you get an interesting exam week! Our Fall 2022 BDE goes from Wednesday, December 14 to Saturday, December 17.
A lovable (ish? If you squint?) Time Changing Jerkass named the Master from Doctor Who is coming to town! He's coming to mess with the timelineto own the libs for the lols because he would like to see the destruction of the human race. Since there are a lot of humans on Fandom Island who are pivot points of their own universes, this is like one-stop shopping for bad guys. Plus we've had a few Doctors here and he hates them. He's a crazy mastermind--definitely not the kind of dedicated jackass who would travel 106 years back in time, ingratiate himself into the Russian court, name himself Rasputin, all so he can capture the Doctor and have a dance scene set to a specific song, so ignore that linked video--who jumps all over time and space.
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is not to defeat him (because that wouldn't undo the changes) but to travel back in time and fix the one thing that would set everybody right: stopping the Master from making the changes before he starts.
I am intrigued! How, pray tell, does the timeline change?
Pick a character from your canon or an FH character (with permission from the player, of course) to be your character's alternate parent, with all the changes to backstory, appearance, and powers that might entail. Imagine a world where, say, Rey's father was Obi-Wan Kenobi! Tony Stark's mother was Peggy Carter! Diego and Five Hargreeves' father was literally anyone else! Think how well-adjusted they'd be! Or you can go a different way and have Eric Northman make you a vampire: a very different form of fatherhood. Play that new-you character through the week, either in familiar situations or on BDE adventures. Some people might even be changed enough that they side with and help the Master. As always, you don't have to change your character, but if you are it has to happen on Wednesday. This isn't a rolling effect.
For example: starting December 14, Ingvar Island's father wasn't IKEA - it was Nemesis Island. Instead of creepy dolls, not!Ingvar (now Ingrid) sucks in canon nemeses of FH characters (for example, Anakin Skywalker v. Palpatine and not, say, v. sand) from across time, who will wander over to Fandom to attack or otherwise mess with the FH characters. The nemeses need a day to figure out boats, so they will show up on the island December 15th. The nemeses' invasion will backfire a bit because some of the FH characters are now AU versions of themselves and don't have the particular weakness their canon nemesis generally exploits. They might even like the nemesis now! Live out your weird hatefic dreams! You can have a nemesis even if you haven't made your character an AU version of themselves, and you can play them out of your own journal since finding icons has become...difficult. Sigh.
We just ask one thing: that each and every one of your nemeses has an improbable 1995 fashion statement on them. Maybe it's Oakley glasses! Maybe it's a baseball cap from the 1995 Coca Cola catalog. Maybe it's a t-shirt with Coolio's head on it. We're not gonna judge your nemesis, but pick something fun.
This small invasion twigs everyone to realize that the personality shifts aren't just Fandom Doing a Thing.
Cue the Research and Finale Teams!
We'll need people on Thursday to start researching. People were weird on Wednesday, there are random bad guys showing up and monologuing all over the place while looking like extras from a Green Day music video, it's the end of the semester...characters are genre-savvy enough to put some things together. It's the holidays, so exploring night-time ghostly interventions to make people have a change of heart would not be a bad place to start, nor would going through handwavy Fandom records and remembering Nemesis Island, where we defeating the bad guys in one-on-one combat. Looking into timeline divergence is a good idea, too. We'll RNG the person who'll get to point us towards the Master, so sign up in ye handy sign up section down below if you'd like that to be your character.
By Friday, we'll need science and engineering-minded people to try to build a time machine. As you do.
And on Saturday, we'll need a group of four characters to travel back in time, confront the Master, and set the timeline right again. Meanwhile, the rest of you get to deal with an invasion of highly punchable, highly moddable NPCs dressed like 90's extras - and your own nemeses again, if you'd prefer - from Ingrid island. The whole issue will be fixed by early Sunday evening, Fandom time. If you'd like to be on the finale team, please sign up by Sunday night for great RNG justice.
Once the timeline is restored, how does that affect everyone?
That's, again, up to you! If you would like your character to remember being Rosa's secret child, you can! If you want to have amnesia about all or some of the events, you can do that too! If you want to remember but DENY THAT YOU DO FOREVER, that's also a great option!
Ye Helpful Timeline:
Wednesday: AU Timeline Shenanigans! FH characters wake up with entirely different backstories! Enjoy explaining your lives to your friends/family/roommates!
Thursday: CUE THE NEMESES. Which...does not go as planned and only lasts an hour, give or take. They retreat back to the Not!Ingvar island where the Master tries to come up with a new plan. Meanwhile our characters can start realizing this isn't just an advent thing and start doing research. One lucky RNGed character will figure out that this isn't a Scrooge thing but is actually a Master thing.
Friday: ...does anyone know how to make a time machine? Let's meet in the library and do science!
Saturday: PULL THE LEVER, KRONK. Our elite team goes back to 1995 to stop the Master from getting this idea to begin with. Everyone else is busy punching bad 90s fashion! Balance is restored! Steve Rogers fucks off into the 1950s! ...wait. Wrong time traveling plot.
So, questions, comments, etc?
