[In your hand is a fidget cube, a rounded white cube accented with buttons, dials, and switches in the color of a certain Family on the ship.

Play with any of the fidget cube's six sides and you'll receive a vision. There are two problems with this:

1) some very important information seems to have been blocked out, and

2) you know, with a bone-deep certainty, that this vision isn't yours.

But if this vision isn't yours...then whose is it? Maybe the color of your cube is a clue.]

BACK TO THE EVENT POST

Comment here with anonymized visions for your recipients here. You can comment any time from now until the event starts 11/14. All comments will be screened and the visions will be revealed when the event starts.

Guidelines for visions:

Comment with your vision using your character journal. I'll use the power of C+P to repost it with an anon journal before the event starts.
Put your recipient's nom de plume in the subject.
Remember to check the squicks list. If you have any questions about your recipient's squicks, DM me on Discord or Plurk and I'll pass them on.
Visions can be in whatever POV or format you want.
Visions can be either one you've already received OR a new one. If it's a vision you've already received, your prize will be a new vision or power. If it's a new vision, that vision (restored to pristine condition, of course) will be your prize. Choose wisely.
Visions must be anonymized! You know how letters sent to advice columns have names and details changed to make it harder to identify the sender? That's what I'm talking about. At minimum, names, places, locations should be covered up in some way. If you want to go further, feel free, but remember to leave enough detail that it's still possible for someone to trace it to your character or for your character to identify the vision as theirs. Cover ups should be obvious but can take any form you want: obscured by clown noises, swapped out for fake aliases, whatever. See below for an example.
*NEW* Visions can be in image form like manga/comic pages, or include images for reference. Same anonymizing rules apply. I'm happy to help with basic image editing—just DM me the images you want changed and tell me what changes you want me to make.

If you need to drop your sign up for any reason, I totally understand. Life happens. Just let me know so I can arrange a pinch hit for your recipient.

If you have any other questions specific to your recipient, DM me on Discord or Plurk so as to keep assignments secret. General questions about the event can go in #gamerunner-questions.

Please fill out the following form for each participating character:

Sign-ups close 11/4 11:59pm EST.

Dropping out - If you need to drop your sign-up for whatever reason, let me know as soon as possible so I can make sure your recipient will still receive a vision.

Late sign-up - If you want to sign-up after 11/2, feel free to toss a late sign-up here. If I get enough I'll work something out. But bear in mind that assignments will likely be completely randomized, and you probably won't know your recipient until very close to the event start and have less time to prepare a vision.

The Outsider
4000+ / M / The Void

For surely it is alarming to consider. If the Outsider speaks, why does he not speak to us? He has never conversed with a member of our society, let alone bestowed any favor. Yet we in all the Isles know the truth of his creation, and are his wardens in the Void. So why, then, does he so often appear to the ignorant and miserable, the wronged and the hurt?

15 Second Summary	4000 years ago, a beggar boy born under the right signs was scooped up by a cult. They caged him, abused him, and when they slit his throat, he became a god. Since then, the Outsider has watched the world from the Void, gifting his Mark and sweet magic powers to people he finds interesting: the underdogs and outcasts who have the potential to shape the future. Mostly just to see what they'll do with the power he gives them. But after all this time, he's nearly forgotten what it's like to be human, and he's getting tired.
Abilities & Permissions
Abilities	The Outsider is god of the Void, which is an eldritch alternate universe thing occasionally accessible from the real world. While the Void technically doesn't exist in Sidereal, for the sake of Eldritch Twink Satan powers, I'm going to rule that he's brought a bit of Void with him by being, you know, god of the Void. This mostly means he's got most of his powers and can yank people in/out of his little pocket of Void-Sidereal. As a god, the Outsider has a ton of powers. Due to the Void touching on a lot of areas/domains, he even has quite a range of them. He can hijack dreams, move in/out of the Void, teleport, slightly alter his appearance, etc. Has the standard god package of strong/fast/whatever. I'm going to roll with him being able to do anything that any of his Marked can do, so he could theoretically do what Corvo/Daud/Emily do. (Not sure about Billie since she isn't technically Marked.) And, well, I'll probably play fast and loose with little things for flavor. However, two notable powers will be absent in Sidereal. 1) the Mark he uses to grant magical powers. ICly he's not going to find anything about Sidereal interesting enough to be worth granting his Mark, so no sweet magic powers for anyone. 2) he won't be able to view the future/present/past of folks, which will limit his ability to be a god-modding dick. This will automatically make everyone interesting to him though.
Permissions	The Outsider is by nature kind of nosy jerk! The ability to god-mod by viewing potential futures and pasts and such is gone, but he's definitely prone to wandering through dreams, prodding sore spots, and yanking people in and out of the Void without a by-your-leave. If I ever tread too far or he's ever TOO much of a dick, feel free to give me a poke and I'll dial it down. Feel free to try to fight him! But he's, you know, a god, and a pretty powerful one. But also difficult to truly offend, and not that interested in fighting himself. (He likes to watch.) He's likelier to dodge and taunt and then peace out to the Void rather than stick around for fisticuffs.
Sensing	Eldritch! Death! Dreams! Chaos! Magic! Divinity! The Void is many things, and he is god of them all. To further elaborate, the Outsider became a god when a bunch of cultists used a magic knife to cut his name away in a ritual. He died, and his spiritual self merged with the Void to become a god. His physical body still exists, encased in stone at the edge of the Void. His physical body is not in Sidereal. Feel free to be pinged by...whatever part of that would ping your character.
