RP Proposal: Portal Stone Dream Madness


Kit

Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

I've been thinking on RPs for my character, Kit, other than his training ones. I came up with a somewhat differentish and character-based one, so I thought I'd put it out here, first of all to see if it's okay with the powers that be and secondly to see if anyone else would be interested in joining in. It goes like this:

 

Kit, on his first afternoon off, decides to explore Tar Valon. He finds a secluded little park, sits down and, exhausted after all the training he's been through, gradually falls asleep.

 

But this park happens to have a portal stone in it and somehow it affects Kit's dreams. He has an astonishingly vivid dream of a life he could have led, if things had gone differently.

 

 

That's it. He doesn't end up slipping into another world and fighting off a s'redit charge or anything, or have any amazing revelations about the world -it's just a low-key, character-based RP. Anyway, first off, would this be all right?

 

Secondly, would anyone else like to get in on the journey of alternate-self discovery? Your character could end up in the same park, and likewise have a dream about how things might have gone for your character (think of it as a 'what if' kind of story for your character, and have fun reinventing them as a humble peasant, Darkfriend, resistance leader against the Trolloc Occupation of Tar Valon, false Dragon, wealthy merchant etc.).

 

If you'd like to, your character can meet Kit or other characters involved and perhaps discuss your experiences, or else you might just slip away alone musing to yourself about fate and chance.

 

Obviously, this RP would work for more than just Warder's Yard people, so if I get the okay, I'll also extend an invitation on the White Tower board.

I never like to say no to RP ideas, I hate it. So I am not going to...., but I can't aprove it how it is. Unless you were able to channel you would not be affected by a portal sotone. That or you would have to be close to someone who was trying to use one for it to have any affect.

 

That being said I LOVE the idea for character development and would love to have Adela involved. We just need to think of another way to make it work.

 

A possible suggestion would be to have a few Accepted who were willing to get a punishment play a prank on Kit and Adela (and anyone else who wants to be involved)by settling a weave on them that effects dreams...

 

Or..

 

Perhaps Kit and said other trainee's experience some tragic or earth shaking event that causes them to have nightmares. They are finally sent to the Aes Sedai for help with their dreams and as a result of their "healing" they all have plesant dreams about how their lives could have been??

 

Only sugestions so that you will still be able to do this.  ;D

No worries -I did see the problem with the whole channelling/portal stone but thought maybe we could fudge a bit as a mysterious, one-off event, like a bubble of evil but not... y'know, evil. However.

 

Regarding the two alternatives you suggest, I prefer the Accepted prank idea, since 'Has a very traumatic experience' is kind of an RP all to itself, and probably a more important one. Now we just need to put the word out for some Accepted!

 

Edited to add: perhaps the weave could actually be intended to do something else, and the parallel-reality dreams be just a side-effect or unintended consequence?

Ok the portal stone wouldn't work, as you have to be incredibly strong in Spirit to work one.

 

Prank by Accepted sounds good. You might want to check if there are any with / interested in the Dreaming Talent - that could work as well.

 

Let me know if you need any help at the WT side  :)
