4th Wall Event Information!


This is a new post focusing on the 4th Wall Event! We had some questions answered already, but if you have any more, feel free to ask them here!

Event Log | Network Post(s)


Fourth Wall Event
  • OOC Dates: March 16th-March 24th
  • IC Dates: April 22nd - April 26th
  • WHO? Any character! OCs, CRAUs, anybody! Doesn't have to meet the criteria of an appable character to the Far Shore. This is OPEN to any player, including those who are not currently in the Far Shore game!
  • Gods or Shinki? The player bringing their character in is welcome to have their character experience partial or full memory loss, but they will not have the power set of Gods or Shinki.
  • HOW? The Fourth Wall characters will appear on the same day that the Intro Log will be going up.


Gods and Shinki

As described in the Event Log, 4th Wall characters will generally be split up into the existing in-game categories of "Gods" and "Shinki" depending on whether they are experiencing memory-loss or not. "Gods" have no memory-loss and arrive with everything on their person at the time, while "Shinki" have full or partial memory-loss. This is how they will be treated ICly by the NPCs, but it doesn't mean they get all of the powers associated with those categories as described in our game's FAQs:
  • 4th Wall "Gods"
    1. Don't have a full-scale temple (in the Far Shore) or shrines (in the Near Shore) which would allow them to travel to/from the Near Shore, and have pools of purifying water to get rid of blight
    2. Can't teleport (see above)
    3. Can't name shinki (regular or 4th Wall), but Soulless Shinki will respond to their commands
    4. Have no additional God Powers, just their canon abilities

  • 4th Wall "Shinki"
    1. Can be named by regular God characters, but not 4th Wall Gods
    2. When named, 4th Wall Shinki don't convey their moment of death as a memory to their god/dess
    3. When named, can transform into a shinki vessel, but don't have a new Power
    4. Can't cast Borderlines or other shinki spells
    5. When outside of their vessel form, they can use all of their canon abilities
    6. "Full" Memory Loss: Shinki retain memories of their world, but nothing specific to themselves. For example, characters from many of the Final Fantasy products would recognize that horses aren't their normal mounts, Chocobos are, but wouldn't remember if they ever owned one, or what color it was, etc.
    7. "Partial" Memory Loss: In addition to the above, you could choose particular characters or events that your "Shinki" character does or doesn't remember, based on what would be most fun for you to play out.


Dibs for April

If your character is appable according to our FAQ, those who participate in the 4th Wall Event are invited to "Dibs" a spot for the April App Round. What this means is that your character can keep their memories of the 4th Wall Event and formally join the game as part of our April App Round if your application is approved.

By calling Dibs, you can start plotting with other characters for god/shinki pair-ups. ICly, this will be a process that takes place in-game during the first half of April that slowly transforms the character into a real God or Shinki with all of the powers and restrictions of characters who were apped in regularly. Dibs characters can also ICly stick around after the event until the next Intro Log (OOC Date - April 16th), when their transformation will be complete.

Note for Dibs Shinki going with the "Partial" Memory Loss option: they will have to return to a state of "Full" Memory Loss, where they only remember aspects of their world and nothing specific to themselves. If they experience anything during the 4th Wall Event that would conflict with this - such as interacting with castmates - then they will only retain hazy versions of these memories, such as thinking that was the first time they'd ever met the castmate.
