The Fated Leviathan Returns - Open Player Plot
Last year, a group of Sleepers took on a great leviathan that crawled out from the depths of the sea. The lonely creature, who had lost their beloved over and over again, in many worlds, in many timelines, was drawn to the Trench. The ensuing battle took the lives of many Sleepers but in the end, they were victorious. They confined the endless creature to a single point in time and space and killed it.
Now, the remnants of the encampment and the battle have been all but washed away by the sea.
But is something gone if memories remain? Can two things that were one ever be truly separated?
Suddenly, Sleepers, even those who were not present for the battle, have found themselves waking up near the sea, where the corpse of the leviathan rests beneath the depths, certain they were called there by someone they left behind...
The Plot
This is a follow up to a player plot run byterriblepurpose last spring. You do not have to have participated in the previous plot to join this one! It is open to everyone!
For those unfamiliar or who need a quick refresher, here is a run down:
This time… As above, so below.
How it starts
During the battle, Kaworu Nagisa was possessed and consumed by the Leviathan and became forever intertwined with it. Now, as people start to reflect on the battle that took place a year ago, the remnants in his mind become fixed and realized within the trench. Parts of its corpse begin to shift beneath the sea.
The Leviathan is lonely, empty and wants to fill the hole left by the loss of thousands of loved ones across space and time.
The only way to fill the hole is to consume.
What happens
Part one
Characters will begin to hear the voice of loved ones that they left behind in their homeworld. The voices insist that the character has been lost for some time and needs to return home. Characters who hear the voice and follow it will find themselves on the beach, at the site of the Leviathan battle, with little memory of how they got there.
As the Leviathan’s power grows, characters will also start to see their loved one in the distance, waiting for them, always in the direction of the beach.
The further they wade into the ocean, the more intertwined with the Leviathan they become. Their interest in their life in the trench starts to fade away, replaced by an overwhelming desire to be with the person, or people, they are missing back home.
Part Two
Eventually, Kaworu is taken by the Leviathan into the sea in order to drown his soul for good. His friends are able to figure out where he’s gone and pursue him, and those drawn in by the Leviathan, to the site of the battle.
Pieces of the Leviathan corpse have been reanimated and attempt to prevent anyone from taking back Kaworu or other taken characters. Those that want to escape the Leviathan’s pull or those that want to save taken characters must fight!
The Leviathan exists across space and time and can take on many forms. It may appear to be an aquatic monster from another canon or even the waterlogged corpse of someone a character knows. It wants to scare people away from interfering. It doesn’t want its new beloved people to be taken away. It may even puppet those who have truly given themselves to the Leviathan to fight against their friends.
How it ends
Eventually, Kiriona Gaia or Gideon Nav, uses her bond to locate Kaworu who is at the center of the sunken corpse of the Leviathan, and subsequently learns via Kaworu’s connection to the Leviathan that it is deeply lonely. Kiriona, realizing that Kaworu will be lost completely to the Leviathan, takes it upon herself to save him by offering the Leviathan companionship. The Leviathan releases Kaworu as Gideon takes its hand and they both disappear into the depths.
Those possessed are saved and are able to return back to the Trench.
How to get involved
Anyone can have their character respond to the call of the Leviathan and can incorporate it into your playing however you wish. There will also be a log that people can use as a catch all to post their involvement for ease.
A few ideas on how to get involved!
Here is a little block to get things started:

The Plot
This is a follow up to a player plot run by
terriblepurpose last spring. You do not have to have participated in the previous plot to join this one! It is open to everyone!For those unfamiliar or who need a quick refresher, here is a run down:
- Paul Atreides has visions of a massive abyssal beast known as the Fated Leviathan arriving on the Farther Shores and devouring Sleepers.
- Paul organizes a basecamp to prepare for the beast making landfall
- Despite the valiant efforts of all involved and the eventual defeat of the beast, the costs were high and the casualties great.
- Kaworu Nagisa was possessed by the fated beast after making contact with its soul, which allowed it to leak into his. He was freed in by his own death and the death of the Leviathan
- The link to the event summary, which includes links to the both the preparation and the battle, as well as the aftermath is right here

A few ideas on how to get involved!
- Hear the call of the Leviathan
- Get full on possessed by the Leviathan
- Save a loved one from the fated beast
- Try to commune with or find the creature
- Fight some corpse beasties (to save someone or for just for kicks)

(cw: depression and suicidal themes prominent here)
Character Name: Peter Graham
Possible involvement ideas: Peter doesn't have anyone left back home whose voices he could hear, but I would love for him to be a support role for others / help save someone else from a watery fate. This would be especially meaningful because last year, he was influenced by The Reckoning to return to the ocean and was rescued by Ange Ushiromiya and Pyrrha Dve. However, that influence was bred from feelings that were already there in Peter, as he's been dealing with suicidal ideation for several years, so it definitely.... has a layered meaning to him. Meaning that his attempts to save someone else would be very closely aligned with his thoughts there (he will be directly perceiving this as people attempting to kill themselves, and my introspection will inevitably reflect that).
Anything else: If it wasn't obvious already, this would be extremely heavy, and so I need to give a heads up that suicidal themes, ideation, heavy depression, etc. will be a part of Peter's involvement — whether in his introspection or perhaps if they're actually voiced, depending on how a thread might go down. I'm most interested in him trying to talk someone down or protect them from advancing, or maybe fight off some corpses to rescue them. I'm flexible and down to indulge, so please lmk if you might be interested!
no subject
(I can handle the heavy themes you're noting, and they'd also reflect how Paul is processing a lot of this internally.)
no subject
I would absolutely be down for Paul being closer to that dangerous point if you're down for it; I think that could be a really interesting place for Peter to find him at!
