PLOT SUGGESTION Your Name: Jesse Character Name: Castiel Character Journal: rebelled
Plot summary Basically, a ritual gone wrong that summons Supernatural-style demons to the ship to screw with the characters on-board.
How will this work? At the moment, Castiel is fixated on the idea of it being the Archangel Raphael behind the whole "illusion" of them being trapped aboard a spaceship. To try and fix it, he intends to perform a ritual to locate and/or summon the Archangel to him. But, of course, that's going wrong.
Instead of Raphael, Castiel will end up summoning a set number of demons (to be decided by mods/player interest) who will then end up trapped aboard the ship with them. This leads to three possible ways of them getting involved.
1] Characters end up possessed by the demons temporarily. For these characters, it's possible for them to be saved by being exorcised, wherein the demon's essence can disappear off the ship (and back to Hell/their verse). Generally, demons in the SPN universe only possess humans. But that fact can be waived if other people want their characters involved in this way.
2] The demons remain without forms and just work their way through the ship in the form of black smoke, causing various strange sounds, the smell of sulphur, and power fluctuations to appear in different places throughout the ship.
3] Demons find hosts in the form of NPC types who then go on to torment other characters. This idea largely depends on how comfortable you (the mods) are with either playing these demons yourselves or letting others bring in OCs temporarily with the express purpose of them being possessed and ultimately killed by the end of the plot, thus killing the demon in the process.
For obvious reasons, there'll need to be a set number of both characters possessed and NPCs involved. Personally, I'm thinking maybe half a dozen of each. Or more character possessions than NPCs as that'd be easier to manage (and more enjoyable for players really).
If this plot is okayed, I'll dig up a few videos and links to things to explain just what SPN demons are like/their strengths and weaknesses for anyone who doesn't watch the show so they can easily get involved too without having to sit through the series themselves.
To end the plot, an end date would need to be set in advance. I'm thinking a fortnight at least. A month so things don't have to be rushed. The important thing to note about SPN demons are that they really like to screw with peoples heads, which would be easier to do if anyone possessed tries to act like themselves and work on others slowly to mess with them. Thus, time needed.
Anyway, whatever timeframe is decided, by that date all possessed characters will have been exorcised (which either Castiel or Dean Winchester can do, or basically anyone with a copy of the chant), and all OC's will be killed.
And I think that's everything…
Any negative consequences? For Castiel, his batteries will most certainly end up drained significantly for a while (and follow the same course I mentioned in his app). For all characters involved, it'd be dealing with the aftermath of having been possessed/trolled by demons.
When do you want this to happen? Any time, preferably lasting a few weeks at the least.
Opt-out mechanism? Characters can easily avoid any demons prowling the corridors, and an OOC post can be made for people to opt-out of their characters being contacted by them on the network. Also, a possible added tag in posts by possessed characters could also be used to indicate that they're not their normal selves.
