Character Name & Journal: Allison Hargeeves | numberthree Guild Affiliation: Unaligned for now. Allison wasn't all that jazzed to sign-up for another world's team last time, and she probably won't here either at first, even though she knows Luther probably will rather quickly. Because. Well. That's Luther (and Luther's baggage). Plot/CR Hooks: Allison is getting used to being back in a modern world, again, after spending two years living in the Sixties during the birth of the Civil Rights Movement. She's still going to be deal with some of the shadows, habits, and assumptions she got used to there for her survival.
Character Motivations: Allison's biggest endstop motivation (both on the daily and in the long term) will always be, bar none, to get out of the multiverse, her own world's past, and back to her daughter. To make sure she's safe and they've stopped the end of the world from having killed her two years ago.
Short-term goals will likely consist of getting another job and another house. Making sure whomever of her family has been dragged to this world is safe & collecting them into close proximity again. (Also, maybe get herself a therapist again? Though, ggggooddd, she'll have to work back up to that after Dallas & Ray.)
Under emotional needs -- This girl needs some FRIENDS FOR SRS. Especially people who are willing to put in the hard work of realizing it won't be easy, and that won't be utterly terrified off when they realize she can change reality. In her last game, this was a non-starter for most of the year and a half when she couldn't talk, but since she regained her voice, she'd been making strides to try and open up a little bit to certain people.
Potential Roles: Allison is the person in The Hargreeves who has made some of the biggest mistakes (in multiple places in her history) and recognizes most that you can break the cycle of abuse behind you. That you can't keep blaming the same boogie man a decade later if he wasn't there during it, and you're just scapegoating your refusal to grow or make adult choices in that time.
Her moral compass can be a little twisty, at times, depending on her needs and her willingness to blindly ignore what she's doing wrong in the face of her own desperation. She's more vigilante-hero than the straightforward super-hero she was in her childhood. She'll deal with problems if they come running at her and her family or burst into her house, but she doesn't seek out being a hero.
All that said, Allison is incredibly ruthless and willing to kill the people who attack her and to use her powers to have them kill each other or themselves.
In recent canon/gameplay, Allison has also been taking the very slowest of steps back into using her powers, both for good and the terrible results. She's rightfully terrified if she becomes reliant on it again, she'll slip like an addict and go back to using it indiscriminately against anything inconvenient in her life, making everything in her life not real again (and destroying anything that might even be a shadow toward real currently). But, she's also very, very slowly trying to piece together a way to use this part of her for good, too, when not just as self-defense.
