Boon Requests

[fairyfoes]

Hey, guys! The Wild Edric event officially ended on the 19th (feel free to keep backtagging, of course!) and we're a day behind on tossing up the boon request post because RL plus Summer equals Hangovers, oops so this will run until 24TH MAY (00:01am LONDON GMT) instead of the 23RD. The tooth and sword were BOTH recovered by their respective sides!

Wherever Shard-holder characters are in the Drabwurld, at some point today they will be approached by fairies or imps, depending on their alignment, bearing a piece of parchment and a quill. They will urge your character to write down a request for an item, power or favour from their monarchs in exchange for fighting or supporting their faction and they will take it away through a fairy-ring when it is written. There are three easy rules your character will be informed MUST NOT be broken:

1) "Do not call for time and space to be bent to your will!"
2) "You may not request another's true love or devotion!"
3) "Ask not for a road home or the loved ones whence you came!"

Essentially, the OOC boundaries relayed through IC means to your character are to avoid game-breaking demands being made. They will be approved, altered or denied here so that when your character receives their boon on the morning of 25th May (00:01am LONDON GMT), no matter where they are, there is no fuss, no muss! The royal audiences are bi-monthly (to avoid clashing with apps opening!) so the next will be in June. Feel free to link to any threads (completed or ongoing) where support has been shown for your faction that will qualify for a boon.

Simply C&P the below into your comment:

<b>CHARACTER NAME:</b> <b>CANON:</b> <b>FACTION:</b> <b>RELEVANT THREAD(S):</b> <a href="PASTE LINK HERE">Link #1</a> <a href="PASTE LINK HERE">Link #2</a> <b>BRIEF RUNDOWN OF CHARACTER INVOLVEMENT:</b> A quick overview explaining what's going on in the above links. <b><u>BOON REQUEST</u>:</b> <b>POSSIBLE ALTERATIONS:</b> If you think your boon is a little too awkward, put some suggestions here for how we might alter it and still manage to grant the request.

If your character doesn't want to request a boon they may simply wave away the fairies/imps. It is not possible to "save up" Boon Requests for later events, so make sure to get yours in if you want one!

CHARACTER NAME: Waver Velvet
CANON: Fate/zero
FACTION: Unseelie
RELEVANT THREAD(S): Link #1 Link #2
BRIEF RUNDOWN OF CHARACTER INVOLVEMENT: Waver essentially spent his time on Team Stars mucking about the forest, occasionally misdirecting the occasional Seelie force he ran into away from the main camp, and trying to have a halfway decent bedside manner while cleaning up battle wounds. The latter definitely could use some work, but he managed to pitch a decent escape plan to Celegorm in case the worst happened and the Unseelie folks had to retreat on foot. It definitely involved using the location of golems to their advantage.
BOON REQUEST: Volumen Hydragyrum (ten litres of weaponized mercury)
POSSIBLE ALTERATIONS: Volumen Hydragyrum (VH), like everything else in Waver's canon is entertainingly overpowered, meaning I'm 100% cool with imposing limits on it. VH's attack mode essentially means it has razor sharp tentacles that can get everywhere, and it's defense mode makes it into a silvery nearly indestructible hamster ball (unless you can figure out it's hydrolics) Plus Waver has given it AI, so it can act as a personal assistant. Limiting VH's abilities to defense and personal assistant mode would be more than fine by me, if an overpowered murderblob seems a bit too much.

BOON APPROVED
Waver will receive the VH with limited abilities for the time being, but will be able to boost its power with future boons if he chooses.
