Neuvo Vitea [Main Plot Pitch]

There isn't much that can be done about the end of the world. Or IS there? The eruption of Mont Santa Fantasma brought reality as we know it to a halt and eradicated all existence along with it. But in Neuvo Vitae nothing is permanent, not even the end. It is two weeks before that final day but at the same time...

...after it. Because it already happened once, but no one seems to remember.

No one but those with The Potential can recall this horrible future but when the eruption happened something strange came along with it. The monsters and tears in the fabric of reality that happened along with the cataclysm were unheard of long before that fateful day and the past isn't how you remember it. This reality is ripping at the seems with Distortion Bleed, giving rise to Shadows and The Potential and transmogrifying city blocks and even individuals into warped and monstrous versions of what once was and what may infinitely be. People have mobilized to stop it, the brightest minds in the scientific community, the mammoth might of the military, even the occult but none of them can make a difference. Because this isn't the first time THIS has happened either.

Over and over the world keeps ending. Over and over you start again, getting a little worse each and every time. Something has to give.


This plot is a current-apocalyptic plot in contrast to Endymion's dystopian post-apocalyptic plot and blends the slice of life homeliness from before things go awry with the panic and desperation of people facing their ultimate fate and the groups that seek to stop it, all mixed up in a slurry of broken time and reality-breaking goodness. Neuvo Vitae borrows heavily from Devil Survivor and Persona Q as inspiration and will be more focused on how players influence a situation and the choices they make than previous plots.




The eve of the Festa Fortuna, the festival of good fortune on the summer solstice, is where it all begins and the first you can remember of however many times. Over and over the citizens celebrate and usher in luck and good tidings for the heat of summer is over and the harvest season will be beginning, unbeknownst to them it will never come. Or at least most of them. Some of them know what is to come.

Those with the Potential can recall what has happened and preserve perfect recall of any way the timeline changes ever since they Awakened. This connection to the Collective Unconscious shares the true events of all realities as they skip back and forth and end in the cataclysm, only to repeat. Many of them are just as confused as you are, some more so being newer than you are. Some have been surviving this for much much longer, how long is anyone's guess. When the world resets again everyone without the Potential forgets, even the dead come into the world again no matter their fate.

But you're different, you don't follow the same rules as you actively defy Fate. It's your choice what you do with this. You can live out what's remaining of your life with style and substance, sipping tropical drinks by Spiaggia di Cristallo as the world burns around you. You can join the carnage and revel in a world without consequences. Or you can try to get to the bottom of the disaster lest you live another one... or perhaps speed it along. If you are so inclined.



The situation in Neuvo Vitae is deadlier than ever with many more direct threats and disaster events that those with The Potential will face. The cataclysm won't hold back and can't be reasoned with. Monstrous or murderous enemies no longer care if you're KO'd when choosing single-target attacks and can target KO'd players, killing them if the attacks connect. There is no longer a bail-out option in VC aside from patrols and if you are killed is purely up to the context of the situation. It stands to reason that if you would die in a situation, you're dead. But death is no longer the end.

NEW MECHANIC!: Embodiments of Fate

When a player dies they will remain dead for the rest of the thread but at the end they will face an Embodiment of Fate in the continuum between Life and Death. Embodiments of Fate are eldritch manifestations of Destiny that enforce the natural law that what ends ends and what continues continues. They exist to ensure your death means you stay dead. But like all things in this world you don't need to face it alone. Players with a Social Link Rank of 5 or higher can join a dead player if Facing their Fate, even while occupied in another combat scenario.
But there's a catch. If you are killed by an Embodiment of Fate you stay dead. Permanently. At first, as you've defied Fate this far, the Embodiment of Fate you face will be weak. But as you continue to cheat Death it will find a way to catch up to you...




So the world is going to Hell in a hand basket. Distortion Bleed rears its ugly head in every clime and place, bringing with it a taint of the natural land around it as the timelines merge and summoning abominations in what's known as a Distortion Event. Distortion Bleed occurs when something very important happens in the timeline, current or not, or the timeline is altered and creates these so-called Distortion Events. During these events player choices and intervention will impact the timeline and alter Fate in meaningful ways, and it is only during Distortion Bleed where players will be able to fully access their Potential. Doing so creates a Dimensional Echo, which is Fate resolving itself to work in the same way next time. That event will play out as if you made your choice whether you were there or not during the next time loop. Certain Dimensional Echoes may be revisited to make a different choice with new information or resources or abilities and further alter the timeline.

But every time time loop is different. Fate is determined to resolve itself.

NEW MECHANIC!: Decision Points

Plot progression relies more on RP and saying or doing the right things in the right situations and Quick Action Sequences will be less prevalent for what a player chooses to do but will be augmented by a new mechanic. Whenever an area suffering from Distortion Bleed has a divergent result in the timeline the players will be able to sense it and a Decision Point will occur. This decision will change how the game progresses into the next time cycle so choose carefully, but as above some choices will be able to be revisited.

When you Awaken to your Potential you will unlock your memories of the cataclysm and play out your role in the final fight the last time it happened. This will be your canonical first experience with Distortion Bleed no matter your class and you may be exposed to other players or NPCs during your memory who may be familiar with you later on. Even if you never were before. The Collective Unconscious further obfuscates the timeline, and you were both always and never there for The End. Evokers are not needed to summon a Persona in this plot during Distortion Bleed.





Of course no on is going to sit idly by and let the world end. Everyone is invested in perhaps the same thing you are, and there are many entities that will aid or hinder you in you goal. The Social Quality system will not be continuing into Neuvo Vitae. It will instead be replaced by Favor and Ire.

NEW MECHANIC!: Favor and Ire

The Favor and Ire system is tied to the many factions that influence their will in Neuvo Vitae. You don't need to align with them or you can align with several but certain people may find out about your exploits if they're public enough and it will influence their opinion of you. Factions are not exclusive (with some exceptions) and you can further many goals at once in the name of several but certain decisions or missions will color a faction's opinions of you. A high enough level of Favor will give a player access to special privileges, shops, or favors from the faction they have impressed while a level of Ire may lead into making a new enemy. But even Ire can be useful. Someone invested in your destruction is invested in responding to what you do, for better or worse.




Given the time loop you may have an opportunity or several to make sure you're in top shape for what is about to come. If you're aware of a hard choice that will need to be made the second time around you will be better able to gain the skills you need to make that work in your favor. There are many ways to pass the time in Neuvo Vitae, all in your benefit. Time of Day mechanics are gone, you are instead limited by what you can do before the next plot interaction. What this means is instead of planning out your Day slots and trying to cram everything in that you want you can now do... well, just about whatever you want within reason and with a few limits. Days are only measured in what happens during that specific Day according to the timeline. Work Threads will no longer exist either. Instead of writing Work Threads you will need to undertake missions and tasks or find your own VC by investigating or engaging in combat.

Distortion Events/Dimensional Echoes

The events that impact time and are corrupting the world, you can spend time dealing with any Distortion Event or Dimensional Echo that occurs on that specific day. These will only be available on specific Days and you must act immediately or they can be passed up, most of these are plot events or unlocked missions. With the exception of socializing with NPCs, you cannot be doing anything else and engaging in these events.

UPDATED ACTIVITY!: Gardening & Cooking

Gardening makes a return in Neuvo Vitae! With the lush temperate climate and with the love of food it's known for gardening is a popular hobby in Neuvo Vitae from the spiciest taste bud-searing peppers to cilantro for that je ne sais quoi and even things like bonzai gardens. Capo Ristorante is always up for trying new things and will take whatever you offer them and combine them into a dish more powerful than any raw fruits and vegetables could offer. The possibilities will be far greater this time around, so make sure you flex that Green Thumb!

Patrolling

Patrolling functions much like Dungeon Dashes in that a team of combatants will run through a sector of enemies where Distortion Bleed is present. Patrolling is a little different than current Dungeon Dashes in that enemies scale with how many are defeated and how much time has passed instead of collecting items, and certain factions may have Patrol requests that people can fulfill for additional rewards! Once you unlock your Potential there is no limit to how long you can patrol for (as long as you can survive it).

UPDATED ACTIVITY! - Investigation

With everything going on you're going to want to check out what's going on behind the scenes. Investigation is just like it sounds: going to one of the locales in Neuvo Vitae with a goal in mind and seeing what's what. It's a catch-all for the Investigations of previous plots and depending on what you choose to look at and when you may find something different each time.

You could uncover hidden information or Distortion Events and Dimensional Echoes, find money or items, come across an NPC, receive a new mission to complete, or any number of things. Whatever happens will depend on where, when, and what you're doing so it pays to stay tuned to what's going on in the world. Unlike Investigations from Endymion you will always find something to help you out when you Investigate Neuvo Vitae, no matter what spot you pick a random encounter will trigger that can earn you rewards, becoming better the more well-informed you are. You cannot Check something Out while currently involved in a Patrol, and only once per Day.

NEW ACTIVITY! - Training

You will need to prepare and prepare well considering you know what's going to happen each and every time. It would be wise to spend that time learning new skills or improving on ones you already have. Players can spend their Days Training in order to gain Floating Strengths in tangible skills that can be learned over a certain amount of time. A player will pitch a skill they went to learn before they begin Training as a Floating Strength and staff will assign a number of Days it will take to learn it. They can then spend their Days Training that skill and, when they have Trained enough over the course of those Days, earn that Floating Strength. How much time it takes to earn a Floating Strength will depend on the complexity of the skill, the versatility of the skill, and if it has mechanical effects attached. Training skills can't be done indefinitely, only once per Day.




As with all things in Neuvo Vitae the approach to combat has also changed. More unique skills will be available to you as some are removed entirely, but a bevy of new elements awaits and for the patient (and fortunate) anything becomes possible. You'll need it to defeat Fate itself.

NEW MECHANIC!: Figments

As time unravels itself it leaves shreds behind, pieces and mementos of long forgotten timelines that have never existed or no longer exist. And, just as yourself, anything that defies Fate holds in itself a twisted power and connection to the world beyond time. Figments are artifacts that somehow escaped the reset of time and the cataclysm altogether, they are objects that are not supposed to exist by the laws of Fate. These Figments carry with them twisted memories and mysterious powers from an unknown origin, and they hold with them infinite potential.

Each Figment you come across will have associations with it, connections to its origin. These objects will function as Forgotten weapons to an extent, containing a certain amount of skills but also their own Strengths, Weaknesses, Arcana Boost, and perhaps some other abilities as well as their own skills. However, most Figments will be mostly empty. Using materials of a specific type you can forge them to your Figment and create a skill it can use as a result, but that is not all: skills on Figments can be upgraded with materials to more powerful skills, Figments can be fused together to combine their skills and change their affinities and bonuses and shape, and skills can be combined together on the same Figment to create an entirely new skill. Most specifically this can be done with elements to make all new Mutated elements from them with their own properties and therein lies the possibilities.

A Fire skill combined or upgraded with an Ice skill or materials will yield a Water skill, but a Fire and Water skill will create a never-before seen element of Smoke. And what will Smoke and Lightning create? As long as you have the skills and materials to use you can continue to combine old elements into new ones and new elements into even newer ones. Certain combinations may even lead to powerful custom skills.

UPDATED MECHANIC!: Mutated Elements

Originally their own upgraded element Mutated elements will undergo a large change in Neuvo Vitae. They are no longer an evolution of a current element, all Mutated elements will be a combination between two or more elements. They will also lose their ability to pierce Strong resistances at a greater rate but instead will attack with two elements at once. When using Mutated elements the affinities of an enemy will balance out and make the attack more or less successful depending on the enemy's weaknesses and resistances. If you attacked an enemy with a Water skill, a mix between Fire and Ice, and it was Weak to Ice or Fire it will be Weak to Water. But if it is Strong to Fire and Weak to Ice the attack will hit for damage normally, or Strong to Fire and Neutral to Ice Water will be resisted. Got that? Because Mutated elements can now be made from other Mutated elements this can spread across the entire base elemental spectrum if one is dedicated enough.

With the world ending as it is everyone in Neuvo Vitae has a stake in what ultimately happens, and amidst the chaos several groups exist with their own goals and approach to the apocalypse. Whether you align with many or hold allegiance to none each group will consider your actions in the world to be beneficial to them or not, and will treat you differently based on your actions as you deal with the eldritch and the unknown.





Rank 1 Favor Benefit - A Badge and Gun
The United Nations has recognized your helpful status to them and will allow you to act as you will within Neuvo Vitae. You will receive identification marking your status with them and presenting it will allow you to carry a gun in most places. You will also gain access to their supply depot, which sells more varieties of more powerful guns and other weapons. You have free access to the Embassy no matter what situation, some areas may be restricted to you.




Rank 1 Favor Benefit - Fringe Benefits
The Rosencrantz Institute of Supernatural Entities considers you to be a part of their collective, either as someone with potential they can use or as an employee in your own right. You have the access code to the RISE facility and can move about common areas as long as you wear your badge, but most projects and areas you are not directly involved in are restricted. RISE associates enjoy the benefit of anyone within RISE: access to advanced scientific and supernatural prototypes.




Rank 1 Favor Benefit - Underground Railroad Ticket
You are recognized as helpful to the people of Neuvo Vitae and somewhat of a local celebrity. Most normal citizens will treat you favorably though they may be skittish of your supernatural abilities. You have better access to rumors and global information than everyone else does as Last Bastion members will try to keep you informed and expect you to do the same. With your Potential to fight Distortion Bleed the group has given you priority access to whatever supplies you need to protect the people of Neuvo Vitae. If your stock of healing items is under a certain amount they will fill it to that amount once per Day.



Rank 1 Favor Benefit - This is a Warning
With your standing within the Heralds you are more informed on what they believe and how they operate, even if you aren't a direct member. Heralds cultists will speak openly to you and you can glean advanced warning for some Distortion Events and their own actions and movements. When the Heralds are conducting disruptive activities they will keep you informed enough to not be involved at the epicenter of the chaos and will not consider you a target or a threat.



Rank 1 Favor Benefit - Blessings of the Faith
Your Potential is recognized by the Templars and they consider you an ally in their holy war. You may freely visit El Basilico del Cielo at any time, day or night, no matter the circumstances to seek aid from them. Templar's Heel as a whole has access to divine techniques to help their initiates and keep the side of God strong, and can heal bodily injuries supernaturally faster than other organizations can. With the church's support and for a small fee they will be willing to bless you, increasing your performance in combat.



Rank 1 Favor Benefit - Begin Thine Journey
As you first ally yourself with the Velvet Room the attendants within will seek to aid you on your own path of self-discovery. They will occasionally have tests to be passed and quests to be undertaken, and will reward you for completing them. You may use The Velvet Room as you wish and use it to communicate with other guests of the Velvet Room anonymously or not in your dreams.



Rank 1 Favor Benefit - Masked Initiate
With this newly vested power you show great promise in bringing about The End, directly or indirectly. To this effect you may retreat to The Masked Circle in the reaches beyond time as you sleep, where you can communicate with anyone else in the Masked Circle anonymously or conspicuously to plot and scheme. In Neuvo Vitae you may call upon an alternate form to mask your identity and hide your involvement in events. While disguised in this form you do not gain Favor or Ire from anyone who does not know your true affiliation, but you can earn it later if you reveal your involvement.

In Italy fashion is everything and what you wear can be just as important as who you are. The impression given off to others is apparent at first glance and you'd rather be a powerful mover and shaker with the look to match rather than a slovenly thug at the bottom. In Neuvo Vitae it can also save your life. Looking good means feeling good and feeling good means living to see another day, and Il Meglio Vestito will be your suave survival guide with only the cutting edge fashion you won't be caught dead in. Or caught dead at all.

Custom Equipment Makes Its Encore

Just like in Endymion materials and forging custom equipment will remain as a mechanic but will be greatly expanded upon. With new materials and even greater earning potential everyone will be granted the privilege to craft their own custom equipment. But it's more than that. Within the style capital of the world how fresh your gear is will be more important than ever before.

NEW MECHANIC!: Ask the Expert

What better person to ask about fashion than a fashion designer? If you're itching for a new piece and unsure of what will complete your outfit you can ask the seamstress to recommend equipment for you based on what you currently have. They will suggest a handful of items that they can make with whatever you bring them! However they cannot do this infinitely or without new material to work with, and if you're unhappy with their suggestions it's unprofessional to ask for more without suggestions of your own.

NEW MECHANIC!: Alterations

Getting tired of that same old look? Is that protective arm guard you made not doing it for you anymore? Don't have the moolah to make another from scratch? Worry no more! You will be able to upgrade the effect of your equipment for a fraction of the cost it would take to make it brand new. You will also be able to modify your equipment's appearance, even changing which equipment slot it's in. But there are limits! Anyone can freely upgrade their equipment's effects or make an effect more powerful up to the maximum they can support with their Tier of materials. You can even add additional different effects to the same piece of equipment, however once you add a different effect you may no longer modify that item any further and you may only do so for one piece of equipment. This is your Signature Flair. You may alter the look of your equipment item for a small fee and any piece of equipment can be turned into an equip for the Accessory slot, but not back again.

NEW MECHANIC!: Set Bonuses

Everyone knows that the key to looking stylish is to coordinate your outfit. By wearing equipment using the same elemental materials, you will get a small bonus effect for matching. When you make equipment it will cost base material and other materials depending on the effect of your equipment. Wearing several pieces with the same material type will show in your style and will give you a small boost in your survivability as a result. Different types of materials will have different effects and not all of them will give the same bonus or even have the same requirements for a matching set. There's also a unique and dashing Avant Garde flair. To be Avant Garde none of your equipment can use the same materials, but you will receive a different type of boost. You can only have one set bonus at a time, of course you can only really rock one style at once. Unless you happen to be a member of the fashion elite, that is...



Fashion isn't the only thing Italy is famous for, it's a world of culinary expertise! Family recipes are held as long-standing secrets and the success and failure of a restaurant is all on their reputation. The right touches, the right flavors, and the smallest splash of something can turn an ordinary dish into a legendary one and you can be part of that tradition.

Cooking Returns Better Than Before!

In Neuvo Vitae gardening and cooking will be more accessible to players and offer powerful bonuses in battle. By combining the right ingredients it's possible to create something stronger than the sum of its parts. Through experimentation and optimization you can find the best combinations to appease your hungry palate.

UPDATED MECHANIC!: Gardening

Gardening will now no longer require a dedicated time slot in order to grow fruits or vegetables that you plant, they will now grow on their own as long as you choose to plant them. Gardening plots as a whole will be much cheaper and methods will exist to grow them faster, as well as a larger selection of seeds to plant. With a green thumb and the right dedication you can grow just about anything, and you'll need a wide variety of ingredients.

UPDATED MECHANIC!: Cooking

With ingredients you grow yourself, find, or purchase you can craft incredible dishes that will give you the edge you need when facing down the end of the world. Combine different ingredients to empower their base effects and add completely new effects on top of that, the wait and price will surely be worth the effort. From defense and HP boosts to elemental resistances a hearty meal can make a serious difference. Eating a professionally-crafted meal at one of Neuvo Vitae's fine restaurants will empower you for the entire day, all day, although there are different ways to enjoy the taste of Neuvo Vitae.

NEW MECHANIC!: Cuisine To Go

For the same price you can also get your food To Go. Not as filling, the duration isn't as long as a sit-down meal and will wear off after a number of battles as you burn off the calories. But you can dive into another To Go bag. Not all meals will be To Go but you can easily swap between your meal effects by having whatever you need on hand, but be warned! Eat it quickly. Leftovers don't last forever.

As with all other things in Neuvo Vitae the combat system is undergoing some changes and additions and removal of skills. With the additional Mutated Elements and variety also comes new base skills to experiment with, removal of some old out-dated ones, and tweaks to the battle system as a whole.

The Combat System

• Psychosis, as an Endymion exclusive skill, will not be returning to Neuvo Vitae. Even if you Mutate a similar element it cannot be Psychosis.
  
• Counter skills no longer trigger on attacks reflected back at you, either from an enemy Reflect affinity, Tetrakarn, or another Counter skill activating. However you can stack Counter skills up to a 60% activation rate.
  
• Skills that "drain" such as Virus Breath or the Drain skill do not require a roll to hit in PvS.
  
• Multi-attack skills that can cause Ailments only roll for their Ailment once per target, not once per attack. Attacks that can potentially cause 2 or more Ailments trigger their Ailment in order of the roll, so the first roll to succeed is the Ailment that is applied. Ailments that are part of the attack itself (like Holy Arrow) are always rolled first.
  
• Out of sight, out of mind - Enemies can move around in Patrols and other events, and players will not know where enemy stars are if they are not currently looking at them or around the corner from them (except for some bosses).
  
• Skills "strictly for support characters" are no longer restricted.
  
• Instant Kill attacks bypass Endure and Enduring Soul.
  
• All Tactical Support skills are now on a global cooldown. Which means if a someone uses a Tactical Support skill with a cooldown, everyone must wait for that cooldown to finish before that skill can be used again.
  
• Skills that are Ranked Up by using a card or something else can now be a skill within that same family, not just a direct upgrade of the skill. So a Ranked Up Fire skill can be any Fire skill of the new tier, or an Enhance skill can be any Enhance skill. The same applies for Mutating skills or changing them to Almighty.
  
• Forgotten now have a different capstone ability.

With everyone wanting something different from the time loop it's only inevitable that those with the Potential will come into conflict, and in Neuvo Vitae everything has changed. In Neuvo Vitae Player Versus Player conflict will have lower stakes when you can defy death so easily, but that does not mean your opponent will be much easier to finish off.

Attacks with a higher percent boost to them will still outclash smaller attacks, but the percentage of clash potential of the smaller attack will reduce the power and speed of the more powerful attack. So an Agailao with its 50% boost from its Tier will still run over a Zio with Elec Boost, but it will only do base damage +25% total and the attack will be slowed down to a degree. The closer your attacks are to matching the more you can slow an attack down, and a slow enough attack may allow you to dodge it creatively. More attacks in a clash can further reduce the attack potential of a stronger attack and its speed, but the stronger attack cannot be outclashed. It can only result in a draw at best.

Your affinity will also affect how much an attack's other properties affect you if they try to move you or disorient you. If it is your Weakness they may be more easily able to overpower you, but if you are Strong to them you can stand your ground and Blocked elements will leave you unaffected. The destructive capability of your skills will also vary dependent on their Tier and potential, with higher percents able to destroy hardier or larger objects. Soulbound weapons have a Tier 1 destructive potential, which is affected by Dex boosting Arcana and skills but Soulbounds never clash.

But What If I Lose?

If you lose a fight in PvP combat, depending on what happens you may or may not fight your Embodiment of Fate which is wholly decided on how generous the other player is feeling. You can also lose items and VC. Players defeated in PvP combat can lose up to half their items and VC to the winner each time they are defeated. The winning player will choose an item they want to take in any amount as long as it is the same item. Then the losing player will do the same with an item they decide is off-limits. This will go back and forth until no items are left, and depending on circumstances the game will continue. There may be other ways to insure your belongings against player theft, if you're so worried...
