Player Plot + Intel Opportunity: Attempting to Posses Asti and Force Malicant out
Spoilers: It won't work. But Wan is going to try anyway. ((Also, actual spoilers for the Avatar Universe if you aren't caught up on that.))
That's right, Wan, being both an Avatar and someone who doesn't always think his actions through, is going to attempt to merge with the Great Turtle Asti that everyone is riding on and force Malicant out. Since, you know, two spirits can't possess the same creature at one time. Or so the logic goes. And he's going to fail pretty miserably because even an Avatar isn't powerful or strong enough to connect to Asti so directly. The turtle is too old and his consciousness too strung out across the cosmos.
However! The mods have told me that should Wan try this, there's a chance we can get some IC info on the 'final battle'. Including (though possibly not limited to) where and how it should be fought.
While normally this would be an undertaking Wan would attempt to do alone, because he's brash like that, he doesn't actually know how to go about trying to attempt this. His canon point is right when he and Raava fuse to become the Avatar as we know it. He has no experience with being an Avatar except what little he's gotten in game. So he's going to need some help figuring this out. He's also very likely going to need help getting enough power to actually attempt it.
How can someone find out enough to offer help/get in on this without completely telegraphing the attempt to Malicant?
Wan will be bringing his plan up ICly to Michelangelo in one of Mikey's nighttime stalking visitations. If Bing is up for spreading it that way, characters involved in that should be able to find out.
Wan will also be speaking privately to Aang and Korra, because they're Avatars and might know more about this than he does.
And Wan will be taking this to Hawke, Valdis, Dante, and Zatanna directly in the next few days ICly because he's going to need help and he trusts them enough to ask for help.
At the moment I'm going to assume they're all up for sharing, but that's really up to them and how IC it would be for them to do so. But I'm hoping that will be enough venues to give anyone who wants to get in on this a chance to do so without breaking who/what would be IC for Wan to talk to and share with. Once a character knows about it, they are free to seek Wan out directly - he will not discuss this over the network and will shut down any conversations that try to broach it there.
What actually needs to be accomplished to pull this off?
Wan needs to be sure he has enough cosmic (or other) energy pouring through him in the Avatar State that he can attempt to physically merge himself with Asti - likely at the Turtle's Head. Unless someone else has other ideas for a better location to try it at.
Some more investigation at the Palace would be good to see if there's any information on how possessions in this universe actually work so the chances of 'success' are higher. Something Wan definitely can't do on his own.
Anything else you guys can think of that might be helpful - suggestions for ways people can get involved that I haven't thought of would be awesome!
How will characters get the info this is supposed to bring?
The mods have not told me that. Just that this has the opportunity to provide it on an IC level. I'm personally hoping that there will be a psychic wave/backlash from Wan being rejected by Asti/Malicant that gives people visions of the important things. But I just don't know yet.
I'll have a questions header and any other discussion between those wanting to get involved can happen in the comments :)
