Character Name: Teddy Roberts Territory: Solvunn Rank: 1
Afflictions: Sannleikr is going to be in Solvunn, which is an interesting one for Teddy. Both because their Emergence AU God!sona was themed around harmony and fostering community (and that's a big thing for them in general) -- which are things Sannleikr specifically disrupts through mistrust, enmity and isolation -- and also because one of the early symptoms of seizures for them is jamais vu (the inability to recognize familiar people or things), and another is misunderstanding or not understanding words, which are both also things that Sannleikr can cause through affliction.
Teddy's going to be shaken by the idea that standing in the way of these effects might prolong war, but (especially given the specific effects) they're going to feel at heart that that's not the (only) truth, and that keeping people from hurting each other, working to keep communities united and whole, etc is more important and will prevent more than it prolongs.
Which is to say, they are totally going to make themselves vulnerable via protecting people...which I am absolutely down to play. This has a lot of very cool opportunities to play with Teddy's experiences and values. So yeah, if you've got someone in Solvunn who's doing the Enhancing thing, let's talk!
Horizon: I am TOTALLY down for weird Horizon swaps. I definitely think there'll be some bleed from their funky built-around-a-tree-into-a-cave, turns-into-tangible-versions-of-visual-distortion-partway-through Emergence Horizon, since I'm playing with adjacent themes and also I never really played in it during Event 18, but I'm more interested in people having to work together to fix each other's stuff or return it.
So definitely, if you want to plop something down on Teddy's place or have something appear from either their normal domain or the AU version, lmk.
Other plans: Teddy totally doesn't have enough influence to do this on their own, but they'll be thinking about the idea of balance and what the benefits of keeping a community strong and united are.
If not during this event, then afterward, they're going to want to work with others to try to support existing (or start) efforts to call for peace/a ceasefire/etc and trying to find out more than just "are we in danger". (Does trade with The Free Cities and Thorne from Solvunn affect politics? Is Solvunn independent enough to leverage that? Does Solvunn have a stake in the fighting?) They're that person going "okay, but what can we do to change things".
And even if people are only interested in local affairs, Solvunn's obviously getting god-level backlash from the war despite supposedly staying out of it, so it's to their benefit for it to stop.
(Obviously, there's more coming for Solvunn that might disrupt those kind of efforts, but THEY don't know that.)
