What’s ccc about? :-)

CROWN'S CASTLE OF CHAOS

is a competition based object show hosted by Crown, a Crown. CCC takes place in a world much like that of our own, although inhabited not by humans, but objects. Aside from that however, the world of CCC (also called Vino- which i just made up but it needed a name) is almost the same as ours- in fact, a map of the only inhabited planet reveals it has the same countries, cities, and locations as our familiar earth.

The contestants of CCC were all approached one day (specifically september 17th, around 4 pm central time) and asked if they wanted to join a contest- it would be short, only a single day long, but the winner of it would win something far greater than simple fame or fortune. They were asked this by Crown- a mysterious object with power over Time, Space, and Matter, each controlled by one of the three gems in his head.

After each contestant accepts the invitation, they are teleported to the Game Area, a mountainous location overlooking a small lake, with a large castle sitting overlooking it all. Challenges take place in the castle, in the surrounding land, and on the lake, although all within a fairly fixed boundary.

This is the location of CCC. the castle is located on the side of the slopes of Mt. Stimson.

The competition begins with 25 competitors:

If you want I can pull out individual images for you, but if i did that then this post would be miles long. Once again, done by Lynxz theyre so fucking aweosme

The first challenge has no teams- it's a simple one, to climb to the top of a giant rock pillar. it's only after this challenge happens and the first contestant is voted off that teams form- 4 teams of 6, which later merge into 2 teams of 6, and then teams finally dissolve. there are A Lot of characters here so I might not go into detail for each one, but the most major characters so far are Seed and Spyglass, as well as Witchy being one who's a biiiit less important but has more lore. these parts are a bit more spoiler-y, although Seed's main arc will happen within Act 1 of CCC (oh right- CCC will have three acts, corresponding with the merging of teams and dissolution of teams. Seed's arc is probably the main event of Act 1 actually, so I'll go into in this post. If you want, I can make a seperate post detailing the late game, spoilery stuff (like Crown Lore alongside Spyglass's plot).

in the first challenge, Seed (full name Helicopter Seed) is used by Hair Dryer to easily beat the challenge. Because hair dryer can simply turn on and blow Seed, she will fly up into the air. In the team forming at the beginning of episode 2, Dryer forces Seed to join team "We're Not Doing That Name" against her will, but she cannot change teams. In several subsequent challenges, Dryer will again use Seed to be challenges. Seed protests at each time, first saying that Dryer should at least ask, but later outright asking dryer to not do that- but dryer refuses, stating the "Good of the team"- after all, they haven't let lost at challenge. also, if Seed doesn't go along, she'll be voted off.

we interrupt your regular scheduled lore dump to explain the CCC voting system- while Episode 1 is simply viewer voting, further episodes will use teammate voting with viewer given immunity- like what iii did. this is because it gives me more control over the plot and who's eliminated but viewers are still like. a thing. we now return to your regularly scheduled lore dump.

Finally, seed snaps. I'm hoping that she'll have won viewer immunity the last couple rounds, because people tend to sympathize with someone who's literlaly being abused especially when basically eveyronen on the team doesn't do anyhting about it and is also not great. so she figures- she can sabotage the team without getting voting off- particularly, she just wants hair brush and hair dryer to be eliminated (brush is dryer's main accomplice and friend). She goes about the sabotage quit violently, even killing her own teammates if it means her team won't win (i'll get to recovery in a bit). she's just, off the rail unhinged. shes not okay.

there are a few different ways this can go, but what I'm hoping for is for Seed to be succesful and continue getting voter immunity, until team consolidation happens, at which point any remaining team members of WNDTN are sent to the other team, where Seed can't do anything to them, or were previously eliminated. I could see a possibility of Dryer advancing as well, which could have some fun potential, but in Act 2 of CCC, her main arc will be about isolation because. man she fucked up her own team really badly, nobody wants to associate her (except for maybe spyglass- heh), she's an outcast, she's done horrible things, and now she just has to carry on. as for whether or not she makes it to Act 3 is up in the air, i have a few ideas for late game seed and spyglass stuff.

okay that's the seed lore. onto the Recovery Machine. while making the ideas for CCC, i had a few ideas for recovery, but i quite like what i settled on. now i want to preface this by saying that normally, in Vino, recovery is Not Normal. no recovery machines exist, all deaths are permanent. Until Crown shows up.

Every 5 minutes, a "save state" is created of each contestant. each save state is kept for 6 minutes, the extra minute is so that if a brutal injury happens immediately before a savestate or there is some other error in creating a state, there is a temporary backup, although Crown must trigger the backup save state to be loaded (which he can do remotely.) If the machine detects that somebody has died, it will load their save state. this save state will retain none of the memories from between when the save state was made and their death.

there are two reasons I went with this system: first, it allows for permanent injury (such as some in shows like PPT2), but without just totally forgoing a revival system and having perma death. I have at least two ideas for permanent injuries that can happen later in the story. secondly, the angst potential and uniqueness of losing some memory when you die is just too good to pass up- think of a character learning something they shouldn't know, and being killed so they won't remember it- or a chase sequence where someone attempts to do the above before the 5 minutes passes and another state is created, solidifying their memories.

in Acts 2 and 3 the revival machine and it's... history become a VERY important plot point, ill go into that more if i make a spoiler post.

and that's about it for the Intro to Crown's Castle of Chaos!

meet my ninjago oc!

he's a hypnobrai-fangpyre hybrid who lacks in either species' dominant abilities but makes up for it with his element - animation!

the element of animation combines the fangpyre ability to animate inanimate objects as well as the hypnobrai ability of control; none of the objects he animates have a mind of their own but sometimes he doesn't realise he's controlling them. his yellow tiger plush is a prime example of this: he believes it to be alive when its actions are simply a projection of his subconscious.

"Once a lowly jelly worm with aspirations beyond anyone's belief, with a bit of magic (and perhaps convincing) it turned into something even stronger... finally, after rigorous training and a bit of dough, it has now achieved its dream and become a - dragon? That's a dragon, right? Whatever he is now, Jelly Dragon(?) Cookie is sure happy to finally have a chance to stick it to the cookies who once laughed at him!" - im being weird on my first crk post kasjhf look i love jelly wormy and i think he deserves to be a dragon... what if he went on a quest and cried so hard at one of the actual dragons that they made him one (air quotes). it was perhaps out of pity but more likely morbid curiosity to see what would happen if a jelly worm of all things got a little taste of power. like giving admin commands to a child on roblox
