Plot Post #8
WHAT'S UP To read what happened in Romania go here (TBA). The Death Eaters, Order, Ministry, and Journalists have just arrived in Peru and are hoping to get leads about the second Horcrux. They agreed to break into groups to cover more ground. The Order and Death Eaters arrived on the outskirts of Lima (in a mountainous region) by portkey. The Death Eaters decided to stay together while the Order decided to stay in separate camps so they wouldn't all be caught together. The Ministry/Journalists, meanwhile, arrived in Lima where they were in talks with the Peruvian government, who decided it would be best if each group of aurors was accompanied by a government official or at least someone high ranking (Lucius Malfoy, Edgar Bones, Jebbediah Selwyn, and Augustus Rookwood were chosen). Each side is now speculating where the Horcrux might be or where leads about Voldemort may be found. OBJECTIVES Death Eaters. On top of searching for the next Horcrux, they're also after the Order, who they assume have the diadem. Order of the Phoenix. Trying to find the Horcrux, avoid DEs and the Ministry, and also figure out how to destroy the Horcrux should they find it. Ministry/Journalists. Trying to capture the Death Eaters and Order as well as piece together what they could possibly be after in Romania and Peru. HOW GROUPS WORK Groups are being used in game by each organization to cover more ground. This way, they have a better chance of getting leads about the Horcrux/other organizations since they have no earthly idea where it could possibly be. Out of character, they're being used so that you have more opportunities to be creative with other players (plotting out locations) and more opportunities to thread without having to do so with 20+ characters. They're balanced out fairly well according to skills they have. Gdocs for each group can be found here. DEATH EATERS ( CLICK HERE FOR SKILLS )
ORDER OF THE PHOENIX ( CLICK HERE FOR SKILLS )
MINISTRY OF MAGIC & JOURNALISTS ( CLICK HERE FOR SKILLS )
HOW LOCATIONS WORK There will be a number of locations listed below that your groups can choose from. While multiple organizations can pick the same location, no two groups within an organization can be in the same locations. Therefore, the Order, Death Eaters, and Ministry could all have a group in Machu Picchu, but the Order couldn't have two groups in Machu Picchu. LOCATIONS/SCENARIOS ⋅ Roosters. They stay in a village with enough roosters to feed Peru. Basilisks fucking hate roosters. ⋅ Mandrake Farms. Mandrake farms & the dugbog. Could come in handy to have connections here later. Just sayin'. Also, bonus points if you base them on Chinese Fleeceflowers. ⋅ Fauxcruxes. There are 3 fake Horcruxes in/around Peru. 1/3 - Death Eaters ⋅ Kuelap. Some time ago, diverse mausoleums were found by accident on the banks of a lagoon known as "Laguna de las Momias" (Mummies' lagoon), located in an inaccessible and uninhabited place of the district of Leimebamba in the province of Chachapoyas. The first exploratory expedition integrated by archaeologists was directed by Federico Kauffmann Doig, in May-June, 1997. Five mausoleums, that were protected by a cave that presents rock paintings, were replete with funeral bundles, objects of ceramics, quipus, etc., attributable to the Chachapoyas culture. There could be more inaccessible places or what have you. ⋅ Snargaluff. Dangerous man eating plant that deceptively takes the shape of a dead tree trunk when passive. Shoots out thorny wines to catch prey. And even more are being added here. There's a huge list of archaeological sites in Peru here. FAUXCRUXES There are three. Each organization will get one. Ministry of Magic: Order of the Phoenix: Death Eaters: GROUP 4, BITCHES~ PLOTTING To make sure everyone's doing their research... ⋅ Location and a brief paragraph about what it's like. ⋅ Brief paragraph about your location/why you picked this location/why it's awesome ⋅ Brief paragraph about the magical culture there. ⋅ 2-3 magical creatures, 2-3 magical plants. ⋅ 5 awesome potential scenarios to play out. ⋅ What roles each character is fulfilling in their separate groups. ⋅ What your characters ultimately get out of going here (leads they acquire, potions needed, information needed, future ties to help them along). And you can't say "a greater appreciation for the culture". WIZARDING PERU Wizarding Peru is very much like Britain. There are a great deal of Peruvian wizards with their own school, quidditch team, and government -- all arranged like the British systems. While some wizards have retained a more traditional, isolated way of life, like some muggle tribes along the Tambopata river, these are the exception rather than the rule. DEVELOPING CULTURES/PLOTS Congrats! It's your turn to start mapping out cultures. You have total freedom as the majority of wizarding cultures will be very isolated, but try to be respectful. If you want to mesh muggle and wizard cultures, make sure you're doing your research or simply make things up. The characters are all in Peru, but you don't have to keep them there. Go plot for each group RIGHT HERE. Keep in mind you can add comments and use the chat in gdocs! LINKS OF INTEREST
Map coming soon once everyone is split up. QUESTIONS/COMMENTS/CONCERNS Leave them in the comments! Also, make sure you go HERE to add ideas you've claimed in the main doc (overarching!) and let everyone know what you're up to. |
