NOTE: I am requesting this reward with the anticipation that my April activity is approved. However I will instantly make any necessary adjustments to the math if it needs it!
Regular Rewards: ➟ A 1958 Plymouth Fury aka Christine (300 Points) + 150 points for it being a canon item (technically)
I wasn't sure how to apply the points to Christine's weird abilities so I'm just gonna break down how I logically applied them. Feel free to ask for altercations to this!
+ 150 spiritual points / + 150 magical points: Christine's strangeness isn't technologically based, and all of the technology in her is regular mechanics you would find in the 1950s. However I will be applying the following "abilities" to her which I think are best associated with a spiritual/magical kind of ability as she's considered "possessed/demonic" so it felt like the appropriate section for this:
↪ Christine is possessive of whoever "owns" her. For a better translation for the game's setting, I'm gonna have this apply to anyone who drives her- not just Eddie. So if someone borrows Christine, they'll deal with the consequences. This is displayed through jealous behavior. She usually tries to kill whoever gets close to her owner and usually does through weird, unexplained phenomenon such as getting someone to choke on their food.
For the game I'm mostly interested in her jealousy coming through weirdly specific and rude songs on the radio, or dangerous tightening of seat belts or doors not unlocking/locking when they should in order to trap someone or keep them out, so this whole feature will be watered down a lot.
↪ Whoever owns Christine becomes unhealthily obsessed with her as well. They feel like she is the best car in the world, and can get upset if people insinuate she's not. That jealousy can get severe enough that they even are willing to kill people who oppose Christine.
↪ Christine can drive herself around. Whenever Christine drives herself or no one is in her, the windows appeared eerily blacked out and darker than shadows themselves.
↪ Christine has a regenerative ability in which she can repair her own frame. She is as fragile as a regular car, but when her cars are dented in, she can pop them back out. She can repair shattered windows, busted lights, etc. The more severe the damage, the longer this takes.
Limitations: I will be limiting Christine's jealousy to only being applicable for when characters are both in the car/trying to get inside the car, and when the other player agrees OOCly to any jealous consequences.
The mental side effects of feeling obsessed with Christine will last while the person is driving the car or able to physically see Christine. However the jealousy will completely fade within an hour of being away from Christine.
I will only have her able to drive herself around when her "owner" is within a mile or two radius. She will only drive herself around for the purpose of her owner instead of just driving herself around making independent choices. It'll be kind of like she has a homing system specifically to keep her near her owner, basically.
Dumb Add-Ons I think I'm Hilarious for:
↪ Eddie's prescribed Elvail pills from the book will be located in the glove compartment (20 points medicine + 15 canon points = 35 points)
↪ A Saint Bernard bobblehead on the dash that has a weird red stain on its mouth....Odd! (10 standard item points + 10 points for a dumb canon reference that I'm willing to spend)
↪ A bumper sticker that claims: "Watch out. I am pure evil. I am Christine" (10 standard item points + 10 canon points for the sticker she actually has in Cat's Eye)
↪ An old, worn baseball shirt with 'Derry' written on it in the backseat (10 clothing points + 10 canon points)
↪ The missing poster for Georgie Denbrough that was posted throughout Derry (10 standard item points + 10 canon points)
Calculated Total: 300 for car + 150 for canon + 150 for magic + 150 for spiritual + 35 medicine + 20 Bobblehead + 20 bumper sticker + 20 shirt + 20 missing child poster = 865
Suitability for Reward: Stephen King's Christine canonically takes place in the same timeline/world of Eddie's It. Christine herself actively makes an appearance in It as well, meaning that she is directly from Eddie's source material despite not having originated from it. Eddie himself even wears a Christine t-shirt, and he has a huge interest in cars/mechanics which makes him very suitable to obtain Christine.
