PLOT SUGGESTION
Your Name: ChaseKat
Character Name: Dr. Jonathan Crane/Scarecrow
Character Journal: [personal profile] notmydiagnosis

Plot summary: Crane is going to unleash the fear gas he's been carrying as part of an experiment, causing the ship to whip themselves up in a frenzied, panicked state and lash out at one another.
How will this work? Simple: Since Crane's been idling and getting lay of the ship (and more specifically, it's people), he's decided it's time to spring into action. Unleashing a canister around each air vent he finds in the oxygen garden, Crane plans to flood as much of the ship as possible with his toxin.

This will affect people in three ways:

1. Paranoia: Everyone is out to get your character! Ledges are suddenly terrifyingly high skyscrapers. That thing in you thought you saw from the corner of your eye is an intruder. Your communications device is suddenly being constantly monitored and don't even think about those smiling faces and that red paint...

2. Hallucinations: Generally scary things start warping your characters sense of reality. Bats come out of mouths. People look like clowns. The walls are now dripping with blood! Do what you can, even if that means protecting yourself from those crewmates you've mistaken for zombies.

3. Crane's fear gas has managed to wake up something your character was trying to avoid. It's tapped into your subconscious and is bringing your worst fear to life. Maybe it's the ghost of someone you've killed. Maybe it's the monster in your closet. Either way? you'd better run.

Those three are what Crane's fear gas does in the comics and the movie. They're simply options--players can choose which one works for them, mix and match, or even come up with different scenarios as to how it affects them. The general aim is to cause panic and discord on the ship!

Any negative consequences? Crane is going to be wearing gas mask/his Scarecrow persona. I plan for this to be a bit of a heel turn from his established 'personality,' which has been a front. If characters that are good at deducing/able to put certain things together (his height/build, seeing him with his mask, etc) I welcome the idea of putting him in confinement, questioning him, or anything that's not death!

When do you want this to happen? It would be cool if it was sometime in April, and the sooner the better--but I don't want to pressure anyone! Feel free to fit me in whenever the calender sees fit.

Opt-out mechanism? There's a limit to how much gas Crane actually has. It's weaker the further you go from the gardens--I imagine the private quarters wouldn't get any, either. There's only so much four measly canisters can do on a huge ship!
