Coyote Hunt sign ups

[big_bad_sheriff]

Part 2 of the Coyote event is now live! Obviously, certain someones have a grudge they need to settle, and others may want to be a part of it. If you're interested in participating in the hunt, please comment here and let me know! The structure of the hunt will depend on who is involved and what skills they're bringing to the table, so if you have specific ideas for how your character could help, here's the place to bring them up! :)

Harley is signed up. She wants to prove herself, especially after being hurt.

Skills:
Bright Rainbow Smiles that are contagious, enhanced strength, enhanced agility, enhanced speed, enhanced healing abilities, trained with a variety of weapons, has her own weapon storehouse for supplies, psychiatrist training and insight on the mental state of others, and just generally stick-to-itness

[ablacksun]

I may not play all of these pups, but here are the ones I'll pick from:

Zack - who just wants to kill Coyote, and he's not so useful in his human (Sam Winchester) body, so maybe he needs to be told to take a backseat on this one. Or - you know - get duct taped to a chair. (Calling in Dean mun for this, because it's too funny.) ablacksun In fact yeah, just tie him up. I can play the others more easily that way and he won't see his brother coming.

Phoenix - a stroppy-arsed angel who can teleport, if that might help to gain an advantage over Coyote. Phoenix is pissed because the damage has spread over into the Keldran side of their portal. So he's really happy to help. Can he please bring his flaming baseball bat? ashes_ascended

Vahl - this would need careful handling because of MIND POWAHZ. I nerf my gods in the Nexus, it plays havoc with their abilities, but Vahl is a god of the mind. He may be able to compel Coyote into at least making a mistake that helps the hunting party capture him. He's pissed for the same reasons as his husband, Phoenix. twofold_psyche

If anyone interacts with Phoenix or Vahl, they might get both of them as long as that's okay.

Abdiron who is a god with powers of decay and contagion. Again, the Nexus makes his abilities that bit unpredictable, but he'd want to ingratiate himself into Nexus society. He could probably crumble the ground from under Coyote's feet, if that helps the hunting party get him. And also wouldn't it be fun for him to work with Dean someone from the Nexus AND NEITHER OF THEM KNOW WHO THE OTHER IS. sweetcontagion

[big_bad_sheriff]

How did the damage spread to the Keldran side?

[ablacksun]

I figured Keldrans were affected, and as some of them have powers, there would be consequences. I can nix that if it's not really something that would happen.

My guys would still want to help out. They care about people in the Nexus.

[big_bad_sheriff]

Harley is of course welcome. ;) Is she all healed up or still gonna be a bit rough?

[sweetcandygirl]

She is still rough. But on the mend. And she is bringing Red with her!

[big_bad_sheriff]

If they weren't affected "on screen" so to speak and Coyote's player wasn't consulted about handwaving, then I'm sorry, but it wouldn't happen. I'm definitely okay with Zack speaking up during the planning post and not being allowed to go, though! He's got a good reason to hold a grudge.

Bringing in gods is tricky and I'm not super familiar with your pups, but I'd be willing to work with you to involve one of them, if we can balance their powers out. Which would have the most IC reason to be involved with this scenario?

[silverseamariner]

skekSa's certainly on board with helping to hunt Coyote down, and is rather miffed at him for causing trouble with Furiosa and Blaze, who she is fond of.

Skills: She's an expert tracker on land and over water, is an expert with swordplay, and has her Sifan crew to help out.

[ashes_ascended]

Ack! My apologies for that. I should have asked before assuming. I just saw that there was destruction in the IC comm post, and took it a bit further. I will totally negate that and should have thunk before typing.

Phoenix has the biggest IC reason to help. He's met up with a few people and has CR, so he'd care if their home was damaged, and that they may have been attacked. He's less godlike and less powerful than the others, he's the best one to pick anyway. I'm happy to balance out his powers. The Nexus interfering with his abilities is mentioned in CR, so I can adjust that to make him fit.

[big_bad_sheriff]

Ah, I see. The destruction is from Deet's and Bigby's threads on the part 1 post.

Phoenix is probably a good choice then. What is he able to bring to the table besides teleportation?

[big_bad_sheriff]

I'm sure we can find a place for skekSa. ;)

[brother_alone]

Harley's at least someone who can stand being around Josh if a fight goes down and he gets all....monstery.

I'd have to check with B if it's alright to assume Cricket called him back after the fiasco before to fuss at him for not checking in, else he'd still be hiding in the woods like a feral green bean.

His biggest skill is tracking and murder but failing that, he's got so many curses and gifts intermingled on him from various Powers That Be he may just be harder than most to fuck with further 8D

[sweetcandygirl]

Oh Yah! Harley would have his back... even if he is all monstery. Make sure people attack the right person and not her friend.

[has_a_phd_in_teddybear]

Ahahahaha, normally yes he would be doing the talking zack out of this thing. but he's definitely not going into this 100% mentally as is, let alone with how hard he wants to hunt this bastard down as is.

All hands on deck!

[brother_alone]

I should point out Josh also doesn't have to fight. After losing spectacularly to Bigby the man's a bit put out of more than just a home. He can make a decent scout and/or messenger. Harley's worked with him there too.

[sweetcandygirl]

Scout/ Messenger sounds good! Keep Josh in his best place. ;)

[ablacksun]

Gotcha. My bad.

I've just Seen Dean-mun's comments here, and have had the mun confirm it. It looks like Dean is down for Zack to join after all. Maybe it would be better to play him. Despite being human he has a lot of hunting experience and a few instincts remain that are still more than human. Unless Bigby decides on locking him up for his own safety. I'm okay with whichever.

[sharktoothtotem]

0 see now now Dean. Wait, no Tay would be okay with it. As long as she gets in. Someone owes her a new hidden blade

[big_bad_sheriff]

We can have them all discuss it together. Bigby will likely have some additional insight that might be relevant to the direction this heads, so let's play it out! :)

[sharktoothtotem]

Tay is willing to help catch him. But not hurt him too bad.

She has limited fighting skill, ranged weapons and a lot of surfer rage ATM but again she won't hurt him too bad.

[sharktoothtotem]

Of course. I'll jump her over there

[has_a_phd_in_teddybear]

I'm in the middle of dnd atm, but will be jumping in there as soon as I can

[has_a_phd_in_teddybear]

HELL YES, IT'S COYOTE SEASON BITCHES!! Dean is all in on this. You don't screw with his friends and get away with it.

Skills: Dean is Reckless As all hell resourceful as a hunter and well-versed and in multiple types of firearms but is also proficient with most other weapons. He is also adept with brawling and knife fighting. He frequently creates and uses improvised weapons and explosive devices; has demonstrated knowledge of chemistry, constructing Molotov cocktails and improvised explosives. Dean also possesses extensive knowledge of the supernatural and mythology, while capable of researching finds it boring, but once he has learned something is often able to recall from memory even if the hunt was years ago. He has been shown to be able to break out of illusionary mind controls by picking up on small details that are out of place, but is completely susceptible to regular mind control and alterations. Just in case it comes up, Dean is also skillful in lock picking, escaping capture, breaking into security systems, carjacking and hustling. Dean has an in-depth knowledge of torture after studying for 10 years under Hell's head torturer. Dean is also an accomplished mechanic and maintained an intimate knowledge of automobiles and engines since childhood and has a knowledge of electronics and reverse engineering, having built an electromagnetic field detector from an old Walkman radio as just one example. The fun stuff that should be noted, a.k.a: The Mark. It does affect his fighting skill. It makes him stronger (shown to physically overpower several non-human adversaries even before his true snap and succumb) and more precise while fighting, but also more brutal and less likely to stop before killing the target. Especially if he has pre-existing beef with them. The mark helps keep it's bearers alive, and is canonically shown to protect from magic that directly attacks and damages the body, although he is still entirely susceptible to physical alterations (I.e. being de-aged) and is still entirely open to mental magics and manipulations. It also means that if he dies while bearing the mark, he'll be a demon which I have no plans for yet, just felt it was worth mentioning jic.

I am so sorry this so long but I wasn't sure exactly what to put in or not, especially as not everyone is familiar with canon or dropped out before his cp, and figured more detail is more helpful while still trying to keep to a brief overview ^_^;;

Sans is out for this one, though. He's not a fighter unless he really has to be, and that's before him being affected by the event.

[big_bad_sheriff]

No rush! Life is being an obstacle atm (why it took this long to get part 2 up) so I get it.

[big_bad_sheriff]

It's probably likely that Dean's lore knowledge might be of more use than his fighting skills, but good to know regardless! He should definitely consult with Bigby.
