ALIGNMENT SWITCH EVENT

[nascentia]

EDIT AGAIN: okay, dates changed one last time

Starting April 1st and lasting until April 7th, Anima here is going to be jacking with your brains for shits and giggles, the result of which shall be

THE ALIGNMENT SWITCH EVENT

 

An alignment switch being broadly defined for purposes of this event as one of three things:

1. A change in one's moral alignment. This is pretty simple: if your character is A Good Guy, they are now A Bad Guy. Their good will towards other people has officially run out. People suck - because they wronged your character, because they're ignorant, because they're just unsightly - and your character is done playing goody-goody with them. Have they been holding off on screwing someone over because it seems too dishonorable? Forget that, it's time to bring them down. Alternatively, if you're playing The Bad Guy, all of the Bad shit they've done suddenly seems to have gone a little too far. Maybe they thought they were justified, and maybe they didn't. Either way, there's a distinct feeling that they've just acted in a manner that goes way too far. The good of mankind sure does seem like a better thing to work towards, suddenly.
2. A change in one's personality. In particular, this will affect one's place on the niceness-jerkitude sliding scale. It isn't so much about your moral standing on a broader scale (and, in turn, changes to moral alignment won't necessarily translate to changes here!) as it is a change in how you deal with small-scale interaction. The dere has become tsun and the tsun has become dere, as it were.
3. A change in group alignment or alignment on a particular issue. This one will be more specific to your character, but here are some real world examples: you've been a Democrat all your life, but suddenly, doesn't it seem like Republicans have much better points? Or - you've heard your friend arguing for gun control a million times, but  you never were really convinced until just now. 

This event is fully optional - you may have your character participate or not as you prefer. The extent to which your character is changed is also optional - you can have them change in all three categories or just one, and the change can be a total 180 or a slight change in perspective as your prefer. 

These effects will be temporary, but once the magic wears off you're free to play as much fallout as you'd like. Anima's purpose is to spur people to change their perspective one way or another, so even if your character isn't being mindfucked anymore, it's fine if they see things a little bit differently when it's all over.

Characters who do participate will furthermore receive an IC gift, which shall be revealed at the end of the event. Because Anima is a nice and charming individual, it will be a supremely useful gift which your character will greatly appreciate because it is the best. :)
