outofstickshi. uh.
we're gonna fix some stuff :)
GENERAL PLOT OVERVIEW
Character:
What they think a plane of magic would look like: Briefly describe a place, no more than 1-2 sentences. Is it a city, is it the ocean, does it contain extraordinary things? Tell me.
Soul appearance: Do you grow cat ears? Did you become an anthro fox? If you need Wolfie to come up with this say "Wolfie help" for this line.

GENERAL PLOT OVERVIEW
- Largely this side chapter is going to be centered around the themes of love, self-appreciation, and self-searching. It will hopefully theoretically feel nice (???) but this depends largely on how you interact with it.
- Goals include "fix the goddamn sky rift" which is how Ydalir will approach all of the sign-ups ICly. This will additionally give Ydalir a physical human body again like with Heimrquest back 2 years ago! Yay! I have decided what human Ydalir looks like over the last few weeks and I fear you will get to know that information when I start the quest :) Someone hold me to drawing her please.
- I will largely save the actual plot for the unveiling of the story as I take you guys through it. Like my usual quests this will be structured a bit like how I run TTRPGs except there will be no fuckin combats because I don't wanna run them, and any "checks" I have you make will be standard skill checks with a die roll in the Discord. That said, quick overview:
- Ydalir's proposition for closing the rift is that you all must team up to use the setting's natural leylines to do it, since the rift was created by two gods warring with a fucking cosmic horror. That said, we're not just using the leylines - we are physically entering the Plane of Magic that sits within them. Said plane is influenced by what people imagine such a thing would look like, which could be literally anything. You will provide me with those words yourselves on your sign-up comments and I will do the work from there :)
- Within the Plane of Magic, Ydalir will take on her new appearance (yay). And SO WILL YOU! You will all temporarily gain new appearances based on a reflection of your soul. You can come up with these or I can. (This is partly inspired by Cosmic Princess Kaguya! (a good movie, canon lesbians btw) and Belle (a bad movie, don't get me fucking started or do in hyperfix when you're done here). I'm going to ask you to keep any transformations you take on able to interact with the environment, so things people would do like talking to others, opening doors, holding objects, etc. Don't be a worm.)
- Player abilities are shut off within the leylines. Instead you will gain new (mod-chosen) powers to play with. I will try to make them not useless but they will NOT be combat-oriented so keep that in mind.
- I will also be asking you to provide me with some additional keywords or short descriptions for other things :) That will influence the leylines. This is for flavour and fun so I can build the setting out more. And also because this sidestory is largely about "the self" at the end of the day.
- Anything else is a spoiler, but I will note if I get a lot of sign-ups (they are UNCAPPED) I will split you guys into groups and we will do separate threads.
- it's been a long time since we did one lmao and we have new players SO:
- This is going to be one big group thread that (possibly) splits into X amount of groups. I'm sort of aiming for 3 but we'll see what happens. You will want to be able to track the thread with the bell. Considering the notification situation, using Rubie's threadtracker (which is pinned in a thread in General 1 called "If you need tech support and I need tech support then who programmed the plane?") will probably help with tags falling through. Given that the notification situation is ongoing I would ask that all involved players decide on a tag order and stick to it. This also just makes it easier to use Rubie's tracker to know when you should tag next.
- Communication with your peers in the Discord will be required because it's the easiest way to reach the players since everyone is in there. We will make a thread for each group if we have groups. I will be pinging a lot. Make sure you have pings enabled in your notifications.
- Mod tags will come after each involved player has either tagged into the thread, or said OOCly to skip them, or after 24 hours has passed and we need to move the thread along. This may mean if you don't tag it at least once a day you get skipped in the order. I would therefore ask that all players who sign up a) plan to be involved heavily, b) play on a very active muse, and c) don't have anything going on right now that may take away from continuing the quest (obviously situations that happen later that no one can account for are not a strike against you).
- I aim to finish this within the month of May, meaning this will kick off May 1st the same day the event goes up. If that doesn't happen it doesn't happen (I sort of wrote? a lot, oops) but this is the goal. We will see.
- Who do you take me for? You get the satisfaction that I wrote a really cool narrative obviously.
- Anyway rewards can either be:
- You can submit Ydalirquest as a whole for your entire May AC for your signed-up character (just link the thread and be like I did Ydalirquest or something), OR
- Count this as 2 proof of progress threads for your next magic tier up (but please link me and remind me that I said this on the regain) (this thread will only count for proof of progress and NOT! the other 10 threads) since you're physically entering the plane of magic. It's kind of practice.
- Also the entire game will feel like magic comes to them more easily, forever, which is something we will all forget about in a couple months and is just flavour. But it's good flavour okay. It's fancy ramen noodle packet flavour.
- Fill this out ty. The only limit is you can only play ONE of your blorbos in here so pick carefully, but signups aren't capped.
- Also I need this before May 1st please! Thank you kindly :)
