4th Wall Info
LOGS | NETWORK | OOC | MEMES | NAVIGATION
We're gathered here today to invite you to Season's 1st Anniversary:
✨ 4th Wall ✨
Research Center is launching another beta testing project and characters are asked to participate in it through a Virtual Reality Simulator. The main goal of the simulation is to test out Seasonal Powers at full blast against the Darkness (everyone is temporarily given all abilities inside the simulator and the barrier protecting Ellipsa will be completely gone.
However, something goes wrong and characters get stuck in the "Metaverse" - and people who're not currently supposed to be on Ellipsa start appearing there as well... along with things from their world that are most definitely not supposed to be here.
Characters not participating in the beta project can also be sucked into metaverse through normal screens, such as phone or television screens. Their bodies will remain sleeping in Ellipsa, but their minds are taking on challenges in the metaverse - that looks exactly like Ellipsa, but has its own fun modifications.
Getting injured in the simulator feels real and may cause scarring in the actual body, but dying will just boot someone out. 4th wall characters will just respawn somewhere else after death.
Characters in game that don't get dragged into the metaverse will be able to help the Research Center to try and manage the computer program, to find solutions to end the simulation and help characters return from the metaverse. They will also be asked to make sure their friends and loved ones bodies are alright while they sleep. There shouldn't be a problem with touch energy, at least, but who knows where people have fallen asleep...
4th Wall will be posted on March 15th and it will last until March 31st!
Notes
Before engaging in the 4th wall it's a good idea to read the rules and maybe check other information about the setting! They may be in the metaverse, but it's a perfect copy of the world as it is now.
Please respect player preferences! Just because death doesn't matter during the 4th wall, not everyone wants their characters killed!
As always with public posts, writing smut is prohibited in the 4th wall posts! Please move any such content to another place, like the characters' journals!
4th Wall FAQ [ Click to Expand ]
Can anyone participate in the 4th wall?Yes.
Do you need an invite to play in the 4th wall?
No. If you decide you want to join Seasons, they will need an invitation for that separately.
Do I need to join the communities?
No. The 4th wall post will be in the
seasonsgreetings community.Are doubles of existing characters allowed on the 4th wall?
We have a "Opt In" comment where current players can allow others to bring in doubles of their characters. Otherwise, we ask you not to do that.
Do I need to nerf my character?
Since the 4th wall happens in metaverse, any damage someone does there will be automatically corrected/healed. So there are no nerfs in the metaverse, just damage control.
Can characters leave and re-enter the metaverse?
Since the Research Center is working on a solution, characters can be booted out of the metaverse occasionally, but can also be sucked in by any 'screen' again later on, if the player wants to do that!
My character is a master hacker, can they find a way to shut off the metaverse or escape it?
As the project is partially magical, hacking wouldn't be able to do that. They can probably make things that shouldn't happen with by messing with the code, however, but please ask other participating people for permission before doing anything bigger.
If you app a character after 4th wall can they remember what happened during it?
They can, but they feel almost like a weird, blurry dream rather than something that actually happened at first. They can either remember everything as time goes by or just be left with the somewhat blurry memories of the events.
Will existing characters remember everything that happens?
They have an option before the end of the 4th wall or remember or forget everything or parts of what happened during the 4th wall event. This confirmation happens every time they're booted out of the metaverse.
Here's a form to tell us who you might be bringing in!
You can also use this post to plot what existing characters might be doing during the 4th wall, so: Here's a Plotting form for existing characters:
Arc
PLAYER CONTACT:
Existing Characters
Fourth Wall: Sadness
CANON: Inside Out
ABOUT: She's literally the emotion of sadness. She cries a lot, she's empathetic, she's your armchair therapist. Please be nice to her. She was living in a 12 year old's mind. No seriously, she's an emotion.
ANYTHING ELSE?: I'M SO FFFFUCKING EXCITED FOR IO2 I WILL NOT SHUT UP ABOUT IT
Fourth Wall: Megamind
CANON: ... Megamind
ABOUT: The self-proclaimed greatest supervillain of all time, mwahahahahaha--! No, but seriously, he's a superhero now, having found his calling and everything. He crash landed on Earth as a baby and kept getting into the wrong situations, making him feel like he was meant to be a villain to counteract the other crash-landed baby.
He's legitimately a genius, and now on the right side of the law, he's determined to help make everyone's lives better any way he can.
ANYTHING ELSE?: Wait, that's two blue characters. Do I have any more...?
Fourth Wall: Juniper Woods
CANON: Ace Attorney
ABOUT: A student in the judge course at Themis, Juniper has dealt with quite a bit in her life - she's easily startled and frightened (unless she's in School Mode:tm:), she has coughing fits, and she also got pinned for murder twice. She got properly acquitted both times. Please be her friend, she needs those.
ANYTHING ELSE?: She's definitely coming in at some point, I just haven't had time to plop her in just yet.
Fourth Wall: Marnie
CANON: Pokemon Sword/Shield
ABOUT: The little sister of a gym leader, Marnie embarked on the same journey to become a Pokemon Master as Hop and the SwSh protag, winding up at the quarter-finals before being taken down by the protag. She's fiercely determined, even though she doesn't show as much emotion as, say, Hop. She's still learning how to smile without it looking too weird to her.
ANYTHING ELSE?: I require more Pokemon muses. BRING THEM TO ME. This is the Pokemon Revolution.
no subject
Fourth Wall: Vanellope
CANON: Wreck-It Ralph
ABOUT: One of the racers in an arcade game known as Sugar Rush, Vanellope lived her life as a glitch, thinking she was never meant to be part of her game. Thanks to a big friend, she managed to find her true self, and races alongside her friends every day.
In her world, the characters in the arcade games know they're video game characters, and they can see the kids who come to play their games from their screen.
No, we're not talking about the sequel, she's post-WIR1.ANYTHING ELSE?: If you haven't already, watch Wreck-It Ralph. If you have already, watch Wreck-It Ralph. Do it. Would you really say no to this cute face?
Fourth Wall: Cream the Rabbit
CANON: Sonic the Hedgehog
ABOUT: The youngest of the cast (iirc), Cream is a rabbit that flies using her ears. She often attacks by sending her Chao, Cheese, to flail at an enemy, but she can do similar movement to Sonic and the others like spindashes and such. She also befriended a robot that was used against Sonic and co., named Gemerl. She’ll befriend you too!
ANYTHING ELSE?: There is a 0% chance I will bring her in because I have Tails, but I figured it would be fun to bring her out again for this.
