Ruin

## Creature of Ruin

Artist: Laundingo (Tumblr)

Ruin.

The first case was a little over a year ago, in the heart of Wonderland. A young mushroom called Flimflam began acting strangely. Soon, he was delirious and his body began to mutate. He began attacking anyone nearby, spreading the corruption to those he touched. Sadly, he was killed to protect those around him. When he died, his body turned to black glitter.

This wasn't an isolated case. Over time, more of the Ruined appeared seemingly at random throughout Otherland. Nowadays, some regions have been rendered uninhabitable by the sheer number of mutated creatures of Ruin; the land sucked dry of any life that once lived there. These are typically individuals who are at the most advanced stage of Ruin. These creatures are attracted to negative emotions and are identifiable by their blackened bodies, stylised white masks, and glowing red eyes. Some have been beautiful once, but no matter their appearance they have only one desire: the destruction of every living soul.

The leading theory is that Ruin is the physical manifestation of anti-magic. Those who deny the existence of magic produce a toxin which is harmful to everyone in Otherland. Some have speculated that they are a more advanced form of the Nightmares created by some barrier magic. However, as one scholar said: "*Nightmares are a walk in the park compared to creatures of Ruin."*

Occasionally, people recover from Ruin. It leaves spiralling black or white scars across the body. The conditions for recovery are unknown.

There are 5 stages of Ruin corruption, and as such every player will receive a deck of Ruin cards, numbered from 1 to 5. These will be tailored specifically to your character. The number corresponds to the stage of Ruin you are at.
Star Whisperer

Image by NASA

Stars are tricky things, but you have a special connection to them.

## Minor

You can hear the whispers of the stars. Basically, you go outside and listen to what they have to say on the matter, if they're paying attention.

Ask a ref and they'll give you some whispers. These may not be reliable because the stars move in mysterious ways.

## Major

If you can get access to the divine pocket dimension, you can ask the stars questions and they answer - though not always helpfully. This is like being an oracle, as the stars know things that normal people can't comprehend. In this way, Star Whisperers can glimpse information into things that In The Know characters can't get access to.

Tell a ref and they'll confer with plot team about your question, and then get back to you a little later.
Frabjous (enchantment)

A very powerful area-of-effect enchantment that is usually cast upon important meetings where neutrality is declared. It was discovered by the Slithy Toves.

Examples of this spell include Annabel Hatter's famous tea party in where two gods were slain by the fairy Tráthnona Una.

## Effects

When cast, you must specify the time period that it is to be in effect for. It cannot be ended by any means before then.

* Everybody is equalised to roughly human shape and size.
* Flight is not allowed.
* This targets anyone who enters the area even if they were not there when it was cast.
* Those affected tend to keep some attributes of their usual shape, such as wings, hooves, and similar.
* *Everybody* is affected - even the gods.

OOC: This is our excuse for why clearly-not-human characters can be played by humans.
Otherland (setting)

Otherland is the setting where this LARP takes place. It is a land created by the dreams of the children of the Mainland (our world).

Players are encouraged to edit this and add to it.

## Regions:

* Wonderland
* Neverland
* Candyland
* Spookyland
* The Toy Box

These five regions are surrounded by what seems to be endless sea. There are undoubtedly other lands out there, but few who venture out that far return.
List of Available Spells

This is a list of available spells, with baseline mana costs associated. These costs may be modified as detailed in Magic. Additionally, the cost will be doubled for each of the following not achieved;

* Appropriate roleplaying for the full amount of time
* Using symbolism / calling upon one of the gods
Lead Belly

Art by Mitzi Wright/the-stray-princess on Tumblr

You can eat things other people usually can't…

## Minor

You can eat otherwise inedible things with no ill effect. For the most part, this is roleplay.

You can also eat solid illusions.

## Major

You're immune to poison, alcohol, enchanted foods, and all potions (including healing potions!)
Bo

**Bo** is initially mentioned in the summary for Odd Ball.

They are later mentioned as being a Kid Po (specifically **Kid Po Bo**) in On the Bright Side.

Bo is pink and has a pink-white striped hat and white armbands. The symbol on chest is a white triangle with a pink lightning bolt coming up the bottom.

In On the Bright Side, Tinpo greets Mo first and then Bo.

Mo says Bo loves to garden, and Logi volunteers that he also likes it.

He meets a shy bird in Climbing the Walls and Ceilings
Bonds

A bond is an emotional connection and allows you to use the STAY WITH ME call tostabilise a dying character. Each bond goes one way, and it represents the magic offriendship. You are drawing upon your soul and using that power to stop somebody you careabout from dying.

This call stabilises somebody who has taken LETHAL damage. The powerof your bond keeps them from death, so you must stay with them until they healed or theirwounds will once again become critical.You may only use this call on somebody who you are bonded to.

You may only use this once per person.

You get only two uses of this call for the whole event.

## Internal bonds

You are “bonded” to every member of your group. If you are a witch, you are bonded to every other witch - not your region of choice.

## External bonds

You choose only one person who is not in your group to be bonded to. This is somebody you will be able to keep from death. This is your external bond. They are not necessarily bonded to you. It is a one-way connection.
Candyland

Candyland was born of every child's dream of a world made entirely of sugar. It remains untouched by the Ruin, so far.

Despite it originally being from the dreams of children, that doesn't mean it is innocent and idyllic. Candyland suffers the same sort of problems and has the same kind of content any other nation might have.

It is ruled by the Sugar Queen.

## Overview

Every child loves sweet things, and Candyland is created from this. Everything is made of sugar, and everything is edible. It is against the law for citizens to eat one another. Like in most cultures, this is frowned upon and considered cannibalism. There is a thriving ecosystem in Candyland, however. Animals hunt and are hunted, and plants compete for resources just like anywhere else.

The brief here is deliberately loose. There are so many sweets that you could choose from that it is impossible to describe them all. For inspiration, some suggested sources:

* The Candy Kingdom from Adventure Time
* Sugar Rush from Wreck-It Ralph
* Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, by Roald Dahl

If you're stuck on a character concept, pick your favourite kind of sugary treat, or perhaps take a trip to a sweet shop and figure out how you can turn what you see into a character.

## Kit brief

Pastels and bright colours are a must. Things found on sweets are encouraged such as sprinkles, wrappers, frosting, and so on.

Beyond this, please work with your group to determine some sort of group identity.

Please be aware that using *real* sugary things as a part your costume will result in a sticky mess. Do not do this.
Refreshing

Painting by evgeniabel on DeviantART

Something about you just makes people feel refreshed.

This does not work on other people with the same talent.

## Minor

Three times per game, you may cleanse all roleplay effects on everyone who is interacting with you. This takes five minutes of appropriate roleplay. The roleplay may be simply having a cup of tea together or singing a song.

Please make sure you tell a crew member that you are doing this or plot team will be very confused.

## Major

As above. In addition, once per game you may refresh the uses on talents while cleaning roleplay effects. If they have Magic, they can ask a ref for more mana.

Please make sure you tell a crew member that you are doing this or plot team will be very confused.
Healing

Image from Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children

You are skilled in healing people. This can either be magical or mundane. Either way, it takes you one minute of appropriate roleplaying and takes zero resources.

You may also heal minor injuries obtained through TAKE THAT at will (pure roleplay). This talent does not cure RUIN.

This might be a poor talent choice for players who have bad knees. It can mechanically work from standing, but many people prefer to kneel over dying people.

## Minor

You can heal three dying non-fairies per game.

## Major

You can heal five dying non-fairies per game. Thanks to your medical knowledge, you may inflict LETHAL once.
Vanishing

Photography and model: Laura1995 on DeviantART

You've worked out the trick to Vanishing! This means you can become unseen, and to see the unseen.

## Minor

You haven't quite mastered vanishing yet so you can use lesser invisibility. This is broken the moment you are within arm's reach of someone or if you speak. You can only Vanish your entire body - not parts. Items you are carrying are also Vanished until you are no longer holding them.

Minor Vanishing is phys-repped as one hand raised with a closed fist.

Nobody can see you unless they have the Minor or Major Vanishing, or an item that allows this.

You can see those who are Minor Vanished (closed fist in the air). You can point at them and draw attention to them to make them visible.

## Major

You can use true invisibility. People can't see you (though they can hear you) even if you nearly touch them or speak to them. Items you are carrying are also Vanished until you are no longer holding them.

Major Vanishing is phys-repped as one hand raised with an open hand.

Note: If you see somebody with one hand raised with a finger in the air, they are not part of the game. They might be a ref, NPC, or player having to move through the play area when they shouldn't be there for whatever reason.

Nobody can see you unless they have Major Vanishing, or an item that states otherwise.

You can see those who are Major Vanished (open hand in the air). You can point at them and draw attention to them to make them visible.
Illusionary

Art by pro-non on DeviantART

You can create illusions! How useful.

## Minor

Three times per game, you may create a non-solid illusion. This illusion requires you to speak or sing constantly, describing what people see. The illusion holds as long as you speak or sing, describing it.

An example may be “*This corner appears to be walled off. Here is a wall. It is an ordinary wall, made of brick and painted like the walls around it. At first glance, you wouldn’t think it was anything but a wall. Yes, it is indeed a wall. A wall is what is here. An ordinary wall..*.”

## Major

As minor, but your illusions are solid. As such, they can make any call you can no matter what it is.

A solid illusion has any properties that you give it in your casting, including flavour and texture. A solid illusion cannot be broken except by magic. It can, however, be eaten with Lead Belly.

You must have line of sight.
Covid-19

Covid-19 has come at an unfortunate time for the second event. Special precautions are in place. Please read this page.

The game will be going ahead in person at the venue unless lockdown does not permit this.

For those unable to attend for their own safety, we will be offering an online portion in the style of a tabletop RPG. If the game cannot go ahead in person at all, we will be running it entirely through tabletop. More information will follow in the future.

For those attending in person, there are the following rules:

* If possible, you must wear a cloth mask covering your mouth and nose.
* You must learn the short list of BSL signs to aid communication.
* Social distance where possible.
* Please remember that this is a **no-contact** system and some of our players have compromised immune systems
* Wash your hands frequently using soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds. Hand sanitizer is also allowed.

## Signs

You should use these as SSE (Sign Supported English). This uses BSL signs but with English grammar. You simply speak as normal and sign as appropriate. An example with the underline as words with supported signs: "OC do you need help?".

Due to the game having some specific vocab, we will have to invent or shorthand some signs.

The list is being compiled. Please be patient.
Calls

This game has five IC calls and no hit point system. No contact is required to perform any of these calls.

In certain situations, a call can be made into an area-of-effect by someone holding their arms in a cone in front of them and making the call with the prefix MASS. For example: MASS CLEANSE.

## Standard Calls

### TAKE THAT

A roleplay call accompanied by a gesture to say "I have just hit you". It has no mechanical effect and means that if someone upsets you then you can pretend to slap them and say *TAKE THAT* and they will recoil and make appropriate pain sounds. As we have no hit point system, use this as much as you like.

### LETHAL

The receiver of this call takes lethal damage and will die at a soon but narratively appropriate point as determined by the player, unless stabilised.

### GOT YOU

This is the call to say that somebody is being grappled. Two people may "grab" somebody and say *GOT YOU*. At that point, the person is being held and cannot escape.

### STAY WITH ME

This call stabilises somebody who has taken LETHAL damage. The power of your bond keeps them from death, so you must stay with them until they healed or their wounds will once again become critical.

You may only use this call on somebody who you are bonded to. This includes your group. You will get only one use of this call for the whole event.

### MAN DOWN

Somebody is genuinely injured OOC. If you hear this, immediately back off and make sure a ref is notified. Our first-aider is Sammy Wilsmore.

### Event 2 - Imagine Me

RUIN - Increase Ruin count of target by one.

### Event 1 - It's About Time

VORPAL, also known as SNICKERSNACK - Anything hit by this died instantly.

## Additional Information

These are things which are useful to know, but aren’t calls

### “Checking the windows”

This is a phrase you can use IC to refer to anyone who is OOC for whatever reason without being suspicious. If someone says they were “checking the windows” or that somebody else “checking the windows” then they are telling you that their absence is not part of the tension of the game and simply an OOC thing (bathroom, taking a nap, etc.)

### Lesser Invisibility

See also: Invisibility (Minor)
Phys-repped by bright purple mesh fabric over somebody. You cannot see them but you can hear them. If they come within arms reach or speak, the spell is broken. An alternative phys-rep is one hand raised with a closed fist.

### True Invisibility

See also: Invisibility (Major)
Phys-repped by hi-vis fluorescent yellow mesh fabric over somebody because LARPers have trained themselves not to look at hi-vis refs. You cannot see this person if they ‘touch’ you, but you can hear them. An alternative phys-rep is one hand raised with an open hand.

### Not in-game

If you see someone with one hand raised and a finger in the air, ignore them. They are not part of the game and are probably somewhere they shouldn’t be but need a signal that they are not really there.

### Items

There will be items and roleplay effects that impact the game...
Gods

Study for a Possessed Actor - Dennis Forkas

Before you read this, it is strongly suggested you read the document on magical theory.

As you know, the gods exist as the magical embodiment of concepts, who rule over certain areas of magic. These gods are more akin to the Kami in Shinto than the monotheism of Abrahamic religions.

Every god was once a mortal. That means their ‘real’ name isn’t the one listed here. They keep these names a secret. To know the name of a god gives you power over them. Their titles are purely ceremonial and do not convey any actual rank. They just like the grandeur of fancy titles, for the most part.

There is a Senate of twelve gods of equal rank who discuss the high affairs of the divine, though nobody really knows what they discuss. However, these twelve are of superior rank and power to the others, and have agreed to an uneasy political alliance where none will take direct hostile action against the other. To break this alliance would bring the rest of the Senate against the offender, resulting in their destruction or worse.

### The Senate

1. Lady Time (Female)
2. Mistress Vengeance (Female)
3. The Mother of Death (Female)
4. The Father of Life (Male)
5. The Queen of Wonder (Female)
6. The Witch of Miracles (Unknown; lover of Certainty)
7. The Witch of Certainty (Unknown; lover of Miracles)
8. The Writer (Agender)
9. The Mathematician (Agender)
10. Little Miss Chaos (Female)
11. She Who Thirsts (Goddess of Desire)
12. The Truth (Male)

The Witches of Miracles and Certainty together represent love, and they are of opposite genders to one another.

### Events since Otherland LARP began

* The fairy Tráthnona Una wielded the Vorpal Sword and killed two gods and gave their powers to new hosts.
	+ The old Lady Vengeance was succeeded by the fairy Corva.
	+ The old Lady Time was succeeded by the Wonderlandian rabbit Molly Bun.
Guide NPCs

Guide NPCs are a type of character played by Otherland crew members. They have the same stats as an ordinary character.

The purpose of a Guide NPC is to be a point of contact for the players. Each Guide watches over two groups. These characters are known by everyone in those groups and everybody gets along with them. They can dispense plot, put you in touch with people who are doing things in the game that you may not have heard of, and will help you develop your characters. They are also responsible for writing and executing some less-critical plotlines.

All crew members are the eyes and ears of the plot team, but Guide NPCs especially so as they are actually participating as a player.

If you're bored and at a loose end, talk to your Guide NPC and they'll confer with plot team who will enthusiastically throw plot at you. We don't know you're bored if you don't tell us! The enjoyment of all players is the most important thing to us, and Guide NPCs are instrumental to this.

You can find your Guide NPC in your group once you've been assigned. Contact details have been omitted for privacy reasons.

## Current Guides

**Nevermore** is a raven who watches over Wonderland and Spookyland. She's a reporter and photographer.

**Dr Kitty** is a doll who watches over The Toy Box and Neverland.

**Nanny Hatpin** is a doll who watches of Candyland and the Witches. She's originally from The Toy Box, but has recently moved to Candyland to learn more about the candy people.

## Previous Guides

These characters may still attend, but no longer work as Guide NPCs.

**Mr Smee** was a human who watched over the Pirates and Mainlanders.

**The Cheshire Cat** watched over Wonderland and the Red Queen's Court.

**Peter Pan** was a human who watched over the Fairies and Lost Boys.
Magic

**Note: This article is a discussion of the mechanical system underpinning magic. For the lore behind these systems, please see Magical Theory. For a list of available spells, please see List of Available Spells.**

This relates to the Magical talent.

Magic costs mana. Mana is the crystallisation of magic itself, so fairy dust also counts as mana. You will receive all of your resources at the start of the event.

Spell-casting usually takes two minutes of appropriate roleplay, but if it has a base cost of 10 or more mana then it must be performed for ten minutes.

Mechanically speaking, mana cost is calculated **upon completion** of the ritual and not at the beginning. Players can do a quick calculation to figure out how much it should cost, but there may be things influencing your magic that you are unaware of.

A ref must be present, and will take your mana at the end of the ritual. If you cannot provide enough mana then complications occur.

### Leading a Ritual

Every ritual must be ‘lead’ by somebody. Ultimately, this means that if the ritual goes wrong then the leader takes the fall. The magic is primarily channeled through the ritual leader to make the magic happen, and other magic users assist them. The amount of mana they can channel through their soul is dependant on their magical ability. MINOR mages can channel 6, and MAJOR mages can channel 20. Additionally, all fairies can channel 2. If you are a fairy and a mage, you get +2 to your mana limit.

* For every fairy participating, add +2 to mana limit of the lead ritualist.
* For every MINOR mage participating, add +2 to mana limit of the lead ritualist.
* For every MAJOR mage, add +4 mana to the mana limit of the lead ritualist.

If the concentration of anybody participating is broken during the spell, it counts as stopping the spell early. This includes taking a hit, stopping your roleplay, or leaving the ritual area.
The Toy Box

The model is Marina Wright. Make-up and photography by Kaitlyn Franco.

All loved toys end up alone, but perhaps they don't have to end up alone... well. Alone.

Modern technology and the rise of electronic toys of means fewer and fewer toys are coming to the Toy Box...

The Toy Box remains safe from the Ruin thanks to a well-patrolled perimeter. Not a day goes by that the brave toys guarding the border don't have to fight a Ruined creature.

## Overview

The Toy Box is the where all loved and broken toys end up sooner or later. Children grow up, and their toys end up forgotten. Those who were loved and lost end up in the Toy Box of Otherland.

All toys want to be played with, so all lost toys are lonely. Without their children, an emptiness eats at their hearts. However, most toys opt for the company of one another, forming large adoptive 'families' who vie for control of territory - sometimes violently. Family comes above all except the well-being of the Toy Box as a whole.

The Toy Box is governed by the Council - the heads of each of the major families. Fire is forbidden throughout the Toy Box.

All players who choose to be Toys are either members of the Council or are their representatives. The exception is your guide NPC played by Tasha McApple: Dr Primrose Kitty of Kitty's Clinic.

Given that electronics do not work in Otherland, none of these toys are electronic. However, they may be clockwork.

## Kit brief

You look like a toy turned to a roughly human shape. Fortunately, most toys are already humanoid.

Common trappings include:

* Visible signs of repair
* Threadbare
* Fur and whiskers rubbed off from too much love
* Cracks, dents, rips
* Missing body parts
* Loose thread
* Gears
Tinpo

**Tinpo** (aka **TINPO**) is the eponymous character of the *Tinpo* TV series starring him and other Pos as well as Kid Pos.

Tinpo is blue and is unique in the end credits as his name is stylized "Tinpo" (a lowercased "p" without a dash preceding it) while the other Pos are stylized with an uppercase "P" and a dash before it.

Despite that, Tinpo is just as much a Po as any of them.

He is voiced by Grant. (Tinpo Was Blue.) (Тинпо = Russian) (Tiñpo = Spanish)
Training Wheels (episode)

## Synopsis

With Wally West in a coma, Iris vents her frustrations at Ralph Dibny as both him and Barry Allen meet once again. Unexpectedly, Ralph punches Barry and blames him for his firing. Admitting his involvement, Barry apologises and searches for a way to help revive Wally. Deciding to visit his father in Iron Heights, Barry has a heart-to-heart with him and reveals that he can free him. Afterwards, he then visits an imprisoned Mardon, attempting to gauge some understanding in recent events and learns that the Rogues are in league with the Yellow Flash. However, when Hal Jordan arrives in town, the two heroes catch up and the former learns of the Flash's struggles in both his past and future. Hal decides to help Barry provided he helps him with reconciling with Carol Ferris, who moved away from Coast City after realising Hal was alive. Teaming up, the two revisit Wally and learn, through Hal's Lantern ring, that he's housing Speed-Force energy much like Barry. Barry then uses his lightning to shock Wally back into consciousness. The two then come up with a ruse by telling a confused Wally that he suddenly blacked out, not wishing to involve him further in Thawne's mysterious plans. However, when Wally is discharged, he finds himself able to vibrate his hand and, in his excitement, goes to find the Flash in the hopes of being a hero like him. Meanwhile, an attack on Central City's town hall via soundwaves has Green Lantern and the Flash facing off against Pied Piper and a man calling himself Captain Boomerang. However, this proves to be a trap when the Rogues appear and ambush the two. Wally, noticing the commotion, attempts to use his speed to help them only to find himself in deeper trouble, After Hal and Barry stop the two new recruits, the Rogues vanish once again as Wally asks the Flash to help train him. After receiving some advice from Hal, Barry eventually agrees but decides against revealing his identity. Elsewhere, Carol Ferris finds a mysterious sapphire and is transported elsewhere before Hal is able to arrive and reveal his identity to her.

Metropolis

## Summary

Metropolis, located in the state of Delware, is the city opposite Gotham City and the home to Superman. It's known as the opposite of Gotham, as the city flourishes due to aid from various corporations such as billionaire tycoon Lex Luthor's LexCorp.

## Biography

### Origins

Metropolis was founded by many wealthy land-owned, Lex Luthor's distant ancestor being one of them. As time passed, the Luthor family progressed Metropolis' growth and eventually prospered. However, the Luthor family's constant dismissal of the Wayne family caused Gotham City to become a place quite opposite of Metropolis, instead being ravaged by corruption and criminals.

In 2017, Metropolis was introduced to a new hero known as Superman via reporter Lois Lane and became Metropolis' hometown superhero, often celebrating his existence or advertising his heroics, much to the chagrin of Lex Luthor. Eventually, Lex became a thorn on Superman's side and became experimenting on Kryptonite, learning to Metropolis to become host to attacks from Lex's experiments and even experienced a devastated attack from Superman's distant relative Dru-Zod, who used the city as ground zero for his plan to terraform the Earth. However, Superman prevented this and aided Metropolis in rebuilding alongside Luthor.

### Season 1

Metropolis was one of the cities attacked by Parademons, one of which was discovered by Superman and chased into Gotham. Lois Lane then reports several other attacks and the prevention of a being's attempt to invade the Earth due to the formation of a new heroic group known as the Justice League.

Creating a character

## Step One: Booking

In order to formally create your character, you must be booked for an event.

While booking, you will be asked to give your top three groups. We will do everything possible to ensure you get one of these groups. The booking form explains more.

The booking form can be found >here<

Once you have booked, you will receive a confirmation email telling you that your booking has been received and accepted. After this, you'll need to pay your nonrefundable deposit.

Soon afterwards, you will be allocated a group based on your preferences. Each group is headed by a Guide NPC. You will be invited to join a private Facebook group where you can meet your fellow group members and scheme. Witches will be allowed into *two* of these private groups.

## Step Two: Talents

After you've received your group, there will be a character booking form in your private Facebook Group.

Please familiarise yourself with the list of Talents. Once you have done this, you're almost ready. Each character gets a MAJOR and MINOR talent, except Witches who only get a MAJOR talent.

## Step Three: External Bond

In order to create your character, you will need an external bond. This is somebody who is not part of your group that you have an emotional connection to. It goes one-way, and they do not need to know about it.

The purpose of this system is to encourage players to develop links with other players outside of their group. This is a very roleplay-heavy game, and so it forces players to create a meaningful connection out of their immediate clique.

## Step Four: Character Development

During character creation you will be asked the following questions:

* Biggest fears, phobias, insecurities.
* Dreams and aspirations
* Rumours people may have heard about your character (these may be inaccurate)
* Why has your character been sent to the summit?
* Backstory (optional)

We use these to create plot just for you. There may be sidequests built around the information you provide. Furthermore, the rumours will be given the those with In The Know, so have fun with them!

No pressure.
Muck

**Voiced by:** Rob Rackstraw (UK; 1998-2012), Lachele Carl (US; 2001-2009), Sophie Aldred (US; 2010-2012), Paul Panting (UK; 2015-present) and Vincent Tong (US; 2015-present)

**Muck** is a continuous tracked dump truck with an added bulldozer blade. Muck often acts before thinking and subsequently gets in trouble for it. He is fond of getting dirty, hence the name "Muck".
Promise Broker

Image from Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince

Your soul is in your breath. Your breath creates your words. Your words represent your soul. Nothing is more important that somebody's word. To give your word and break it is to dishonour yourself and your soul.

A Promise Broker intuitively understands this so intensely that they can enforce it magically.

## Minor

With consent, you can change someone else’s external bond or group.

This requires at least 60 seconds of roleplay and the presence of the relevant Guide NPCs.

## Major

With consent, you can create a magically binding promise. If broken, the one who broke it receives LETHAL damage. It is up to the player of character under a promise to be honest about this.

Once the promise is broken and the damage is inflicted, you are no longer bound to it.
Directed Player Characters

A directed player character (DPC) is an ordinary player who has requested additional input from the plot team. Plot team may encourage a DPC to take certain actions, have them instigate plot, or similar.

Plot team will never use a DPC to solve a puzzle. The player may do that themselves, but we will never tell them the solution.
Dizzy

**Voiced by:** Kate Harbour (UK; 1998-2012), Maria Darling (US; 2001-2007), Lorelei King (US; 2007-2012), Sarah Hadland (UK; 2015-present) and Claire Corlett (US; 2015-present)

**Dizzy** is a tilting drum cement mixer. She is eager, curious, and easily excitable. Dizzy was the youngest member of the fleet until Scratch the small digger came along.
Events

This page lists past and future Otherland events.

## 1. It's About Time

It's About Time was the first event under the Otherland system, taking place in June 2019. The Facebook page for the event can be found here.

### Premise

It’s time for tea!

The current Mad Hatter, Annabel Hatter (daughter of the previous Mad Hatter) has invited you to a tea party. Lady Time has been misbehaving lately and isn’t taking her job seriously. She disallows time magic seemingly at random and the flow of time is inconsistent throughout Otherland and even in the Mainland. After all, have you ever felt that time flies when you’re having fun, or that a workday can drag on forever? That’s the mischief of Lady Time, and Hatter wants to put a stop to it.

Though it’s a tea party, it is primarily a conference and call to action, debate, and shenaniganise. You’ve caught the eye of Annabel Hatter and she thinks you’re perfect for an invite.

### Premise

A little over a year has passed since Time and Vengeance were overthrown and Annabel Hatter murdered.

Otherland is dying. Ruin is spreading throughout the land, eating it, corrupting everything it touches. Entire regions have been left uninhabitable, while others have vanished entirely. Those corrupted by the Ruin slowly lose their sense of self, mutating their physical form into something unnatural. Nobody feels safe.

Factions previously at war have made peace in the face of this new enemy. The world is uniting in an uneasy truce, and all research efforts are being put towards understanding, fighting, and curing the Ruin. An intelligent Ruined Creature was encountered by the Cheshire Cat, and so a two day summit has been called asking for each of the six factions to send representatives to resolve the issue once and for all. The catch?

The intelligent Ruined Creature has also promised that a representative of the Ruin will be sent.

Ready or Not

"**Ready or Not**" (conjectural title) is an unreleased song written and recorded by Rina Sawayama, probably during the writing sessions for her debut album *Sawayama* (2020).

The song was performed live on 25 May 2018 at The Garage, London. It has since been recorded in studio, and a snippet has been leaked online.

## Lyrics

Are you ready or not?

Ready or not, baby?

I don't mind, watching from the sidelines

But I got a question for you

Are you ready or not?

Ready or not, baby

Are you ready or not?

Ready or not, baby

'Cause it's been a minute

I'm running out of precious time

So, baby, you're not

Baby, you're not, ready

I'm running out of precious time

And it's you that's on my mind

I'm not ready, I'm not sure

'Cause it's all i'm looking for

Running out of precious time

And it's you that's on my mind

I'm not ready

I'm not sure

But I keep coming back for more

It's so easy, lovin' when you're near me, baby

It's different

If you wanna be ready for you and me

(But I keep away)

It's so easy, lovin' when you're near me

Dodger

**Voiced by:** Rupert Degas (UK) and Alan Marriott (US)

Pos

A **po** (sometimes uppercased as **Po**) is the name for the beings who populate the series. This appears in both TV episode descriptions and also within the dialogue. It is the reason for the name of this wiki!

It is sometimes pluralized **pos** or **Pos**, however it has also been pluralized as **Po** without adding an s!

The main characters of the show incorporate Po into their name, while the mini pos do not, instead they have names which rhyme with po.
