OOC INTRO & PLOTTING
HELLO, HEROES AND VILLAINS! Welcome to

metaheroes! We're absolutely delighted to have you here. This is both our OOC introduction and plotting for your initial arrival! Please use the information below to guide your plotting as you settle in.

You are free to post your intro after reading this post! We will not be posting a log for this.

The GUILDS have begun employing safety measures to prevent new arrivals from destroying the cities they land in. As seen on the last TEST DRIVE MEME, the cities have set up ways to intercept the new arrivals and bring them to headquarters as quickly as possible.

ARRIVAL - LITTLE LOVE

This month, new arrivals will find themselves descending amid an already dizzying flurry of white. A supernatural blizzard has hit the little town of Little Love, Kansas, driving the residents inside and covering everything around in feet of snow. The storm came on suddenly and without warning, so residents are frantically working to get everyone inside, including their farm animals, and batten down the hatches of their barns and farmhouses for a whiteout.

Upon hitting the ground, chances are that new arrivals will find themselves lost out in the cold. It's freezing enough to be very dangerous, unless you happen to have some sort of superhuman resistance. A lot of buildings have also lost power, but luckily quite a few of the folks out here have generators and are keeping their lights burning - a few houses even have Christmas lights still on outside! Hopefully you can catch sight of some of these safe havens and make your way in that direction. If you can make it to a home, or even a store where a bunch of others might be stranded, you'll be welcomed inside.

Of course, the new arrivals aren't the only ones caught off-guard. A lot of the locals are in need of aid too. Many buildings have lost power, both residences and public places, and the people stranded there are now desperately trying to keep warm. There's also a lot of folks still stuck outside - some trapped in cars that are quickly vanishing under snowdrifts, some who were out walking or riding bikes completely unprepared to meet with this kind of weather, and of course plenty of horses and cows who need to be rounded up and brought to safety!

After a while, emergency Guild responders will arrive to Little Love. If players so choose, they can handwave their characters eventually being picked up and brought to the DIADEM HOTEL.

LODGINGS —

Once the Guardian Alliance arrives in Little Love to offer new arrivals an explanation and transport back to CENTRAL CITY, characters will be provided with lodgings in the DIADEM HOTEL. Here, guests are offered the finest home away from home experience you could ever hope for. Their culinary staff are capable of cooking up everything from hotdogs to gourmet cuisine. The pool, lounge, and fitness rooms are all open 24/7. Given the continued influx of new guests, arrivals may find their rooms have been double-booked. Hopefully it's a room with two queen-sized beds instead of a king!

Characters are also free to roam CENTRAL CITY and get their bearings, though at the moment, with the guilds distracted and the city doing major repairs following the damage by the Confluence, there is plenty of crime to stop or cause. Characters will be given cell phones with three months of pre-paid unlimited data and assistance with setting up social media accounts on the guild networks, as well as credit cards to help them start a life here.

Player characters will be offered the chance to join the guilds. Those who join will be offered housing at one of the four major cities, with each one offering a different living experience. Characters have two months to decide if they want to throw in with one of the guilds and enjoy the perks of membership, or deal with making their own way in the world without their support.

GETTING TO KNOW YOU —

Please use the form below to introduce yourself and start plotting:

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Player Name & Pronouns: Timmy, she/they
Preferred Communication:

timmtams

Character Name & Journal: Kyle Rayner / Green Lantern,

torchbearer
Guild Affiliation: Probably going unaffiliated for now! He is however, a poor starving artist so he might break for that sweet cash, but he also might not because he's not a government stooge so. Let's see!
Character Motivations & IC/OOC Goals: My goal is for Kyle to explore his own identity. The Green Lantern Corps is (more or less) up and running again and they don't really need him. While he is still the Torchbearer, what does that mean for him? Who does he want to be? Plus, he recently gave up god-like power as Ion so he's also figuring that whole nonsense out. Plus, uh, relationship issues since all his girlfriends are dead. More or less.
Plot/CR Hooks:
Weeb: Kyle is a huge nerd. He likes comics, anime/manga, musicals . . . you name it, he probably has a ~~huge~~ passing interest in it. And he likes that in others! Let's form an old school anime club, he's from the 90s ok.

Aliens/Unusual Lifeforms: Kyle's job is a space cop, but he really kind of serves as a space peace keeper and thus, he's always working on improving his social skills, connecting with other life forms, building bridges etc. So he'd want to hear what you're all about, if you're willing!

Bros: His usual bros, Wally and Connor are not present, please fill out in one sentence why you're an acceptable bro.

Art: Kyle is an artist! He's done comics, worked commercially, etc. So he's happy to be a mentor to any budding artists out there.

. . . I think that's it for now! He's a himbo, please love him.
