HOO BOY. This event is gonna be amazing. Thank you mods + players who are making this happen :')
Howl will be going all-out during this event and throwing himself entirely at the Pleroma. This kind of chaotic event is perfect to push him to his mental and physical limits, thanks to the hangups he's got over Estinien + his brainwashing.
Howl will be in varying degrees of birdmode during the event, much like he was in Godsblood (and, maybe, all the way up to loss-of-humanity monster mode). But instead of being in a defensive position for most of it, he will be actively attacking any Pleroma he comes across — including of course Estinien himself and any Pleroma trying to provide support to him, but I'm guessing that will be part of the "boss monster" part of the event and might work differently with dice rolls. Encounters outside of that is what I mean here! Your Pleroma doesn't have to be alongside Estinien to be at risk of getting attacked by the sad bird wizard man. 👀
However, Howl is still only Tier 1 with the Kenoma, and does not have the power to determine other Aions' attunement just by looking at them. So there's the potential here for new Kenoma to get misidentified and suffer some friendly fire!! Wow that'll be awkward around the company water cooler later huh.
On top of that, Howl's mental state is getting a bit strained at the moment, being pulled on from one direction by his brainwashing and from the other direction by some of the things he's been through since then. There's a significant chance for him to be reasoned with during this event, although with only limited success — he's not in a position to be switching sides in the near future. But as potential set-up for that beyond this month? Yes, definitely in the cards.
In terms of the PVP threads themselves, I'd be open to Howl both inflicting injury/death on others, and being injured/dissipated himself during this event!! Let sad bird man commit some atrocities on u please... and maybe commit some atrocities yourself, u heroic cinnamon rolls. C'mon, let's get nuts.
