Voidtrecker Elidibus: Elidibus will be continuing his machinations from day one. By Day 4, his face and Jinnjar-based backstory (Elidibus Pitchiner) are posted on the news as Wanted For Questioning Involving Voidtrecker Activity. Those that share his face (AU Elidibus/Elliot Stiller and Ardbert firstbump) may come under scrutiny. Sorry Ardbert. :(
Elidibus has temporary tucked himself into the body of one 'Olivia Curtis' and has been moving under this precept. Senku, Gen, Masumi, Roland Crane and Tidus will be aware of this change, feel free to handwave it. If anyone else wishes to handwave knowing Elidibus can jump into peoples' bodies for future CR/etc, let's work that out.
For those who have encountered Elidibus or might have been given a boost of information that woke them out of the illusion and got back in touch with him, Elidibus will serve as a connection to the abovementioned people (and anyone else that gets networked through him). He can also provide information from his investigations into the illusion's structure and 'attack points'. Please let me know if you have exchanged information with him! Because obviously he would be asking questions back. He will also look for people who are good at magic/analysis/think tanking to help try and analyse the spells and illusions involved.
A few salient points would come up: All the people are real and not illusionary. Congress has dangerously strong mental influence! Using 'superpowers' too much can cause you to fall back into the sway of the illusion. (Anyone's normal abilities are just fine. Probably.) If you ask about the food, he would say not to worry overmuch about it. You won't starve if you eat it and that's the important part. (Sorry guys, it's all nutri-paste after all.)
You can read more on the investigative questions and shennanigans here, here, here and here. Any further stuff will be listed in my comments to this thread.
He is going to be very keen to talk to Anan when he learns about her so will be attending a table at Moondust Cafe with one group or another (again likely with those mentioned above!)
When nightmare beasts and the world starts to crumble he will be switching from a near-purely machination/investigative stance to stepping in and aiding in fight and protection. It will be a significant change that some people might notice. Getting involved in scenes with either VT or 4th Wall Elidibus will possibly involve unavoidable spoilers from the Shadowbringers expac of FFXIV so you have been pre-warned! (Will be doing my best to keep a lid on them when jumping into other peoples' TLs though!)
AU Elidibus/Elliot Stiller: 'Elliot" is hard in the grip of the illusion. People might mistake him for VT Elidibus given their identical appearance. With the belief that the world is becoming more agressively under attack from the Voidtreckers, being recognized as one will be definitely dangerous around him. First and foremost he will be aiming to protect his family ('Albert/Ardbert' and 'Kelly/Q'uila') but he will also be doing his best to aid and protect the city at large and its populace.
Once the city starts crumbling and twisted creatures emerge, AU Elidibus will be snapped out of the illusion. Once again, pre-warning that there may be unavoidable Shadowbringers-related spoilers. (Will be doing my best to keep a lid on them when jumping into other peoples' TLs!)
