NOVEMBER OOC PLOTTING AND WELCOME


OOC INTRO & PLOTTING
HELLO, HEROES AND VILLAINS! Welcome to [community profile] 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:

jon kent ( dc comics )

[personal profile] exponentially 2022-11-28 05:02 am (UTC)(link)
Player Name & Pronouns: exxie, she/they
Preferred Communication: [plurk.com profile] perilous, manxome#3644

Character Name & Journal: jon kent
Guild Affiliation: unsure att! he's gonna talk to family and friends/folks from home and do some investigating before he makes a decision.
Character Motivations & IC/OOC Goals: he's.. superman... so he's gonna be doing the superman thing, probably, helping out across the world as much as he can.
Plot/CR Hooks: jon is coming from roughly current canon, so his identity is just out there, which is probably something he's gonna have to talk to people about, too, since this.. isn't home. i'm kinda just vibing, let's see what happens, etc.
he'll obvs be helping out during the arrival blizzard, so feel free to encounter him during that. he sort of stands out, since he'll be arriving in the superman suit.
otherwise i'm open to ideas and stuff!!
bag_has_snapped: (Default)

[personal profile] bag_has_snapped 2022-11-28 05:09 am (UTC)(link)
Player Name & Pronouns: Knux, he/him
Preferred Communication: [plurk.com profile] AshBlaze

Character Name & Journal: Tsubomi Hanasaki [personal profile] bag_has_snapped
Guild Affiliation: Right now, Tsubomi is going to go unaffiliated. She might follow Erika if/when she makes a decision because even though she's the leader of her team, that's a big decision.
Character Motivations & IC/OOC Goals: Tsubomi's entire character is basically growing up and moving away from being the terrible bag of nerves she is, desiring to be something more. She's in a new world where there's more than just evil monsters and people to purify, so she's going to be doing a LOT of adjusting here.
Plot/CR Hooks: Oooh, boy. Tsubomi is a hero through and through, but she has no idea the entire scope she's going to be flung into because canon cannot make up its mind as to how Cures exist in this canon. Not only will she end up discovering another Cure or two (maybe), there's also the other magical girls around, so that's gonna be a big thing.

I totally offer a cat that is NOT in need of rescuing from a tree. And a speedster who is not a fan of snow.
greatairplane: (Default)

[personal profile] greatairplane 2022-11-28 05:23 am (UTC)(link)
Player Name & Pronouns: Autumn, no pronoun preference
Preferred Communication: plurk is keepcalmhyrule, I'm in the discord under Airplane-bro, but pm to my character journal is always the best way to make sure you reach me

Character Name & Journal: Shang Qinghua aka Airplane Shooting Towards the Sky; this journal
Guild Affiliation: Airplane is all over someone else footing the bills. Whoever makes the best offer is where he'll go. Sign him up.
Character Motivations & IC/OOC Goals: Airplane is gonna eventually be trying to learn about the confluence because he'll want to be able to back home eventually but he's also going to enjoy being in a modern world again. Hot showers! Tap water! Instant ramen! Modern music!
Plot/CR Hooks: Airplane is an excellent lackey and will very much be looking for someone or someones strong to hide behind and protect him I'm case things go bad. He'll also be taking full advantage of whatever anyone gives for free. For now though I'm thinking I'll throw him at stuff and see what sticks. He'll be useful in the blizzard since he's all but immune to cold sland it's a great way for him to learn about his new powers and quietly freak out about them. Anyone there or after at the Diadem can easily run into him.

Hellooo fellow legacy character! Jon inherited the title of Superman, Dylan inherited the title of Venom... although technically Dylan's not quite there yet, since I haven't canon updated him.

Anyway, welcome! I'm Tsa :D

Well obviously Tim and Jon are going to have to meet - let me know if you want to keep the TDM or do something else.

If Jon starts hanging around with Dylan, he may bump into Nico as well. Which I would find hilarious because Nico is not a ball of sunshine and yet they keep finding him.
torchbearer: (Slayers)

kyle rayner | dc comics

[personal profile] torchbearer 2022-11-28 08:43 am (UTC)(link)
Player Name & Pronouns: Timmy, she/they
Preferred Communication: [plurk.com profile] timmtams

Character Name & Journal: Kyle Rayner / Green Lantern, [personal profile] 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.

lois lane | superman & lois

[personal profile] smallvillegazette 2022-11-28 01:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Player Name & Pronouns: justine! she/her
Preferred Communication: plurk is typically easiest, I'm [plurk.com profile] batsecretary over there

Character Name & Journal: lois lane, this journal
Guild Affiliation: oh hell no, not until she's done a thorough investigation

Character Motivations & IC/OOC Goals: see above re: investigation. what she wants is to go home to her family, so she's going to be very motivated to dig into the guilds and the confluence in the hopes that she'll be able to find out more. she'll likely also want to use this whole experience to her advantage by learning as much as possible about alternate universes, since that seems to be a recurring problem for them back home.

in terms of emotional nonsense, she's very much lacking her usual support system and is going to need to make friends so she's not lonely and sad all the time :(

Plot/CR Hooks: if anyone needs help poking into things they shouldn't poke into, lois is your lady. or if someone wants to help a gal out when she inevitably gets in over her head and can't rely on smooth talking and a taser to get herself out of a sticky situation

anyone who needs a parental figure or just a good role model is also welcome to apply, lois is a good egg (mostly) and will gather people under her metaphorical wing

so long as they're not idiots because she does not suffer fools

I have vague plans to toss up an intro log for her this week, so hmu if you're interested and we can plan something!!

Lana Baumgartner | Marvel-1610/616

[personal profile] bombshelled 2022-11-28 04:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Player Name & Pronouns: Chris she/her
Preferred Communication: [plurk.com profile] millennialfalcon / ©hris#1234

Character Name & Journal: Lana Baumgartner aka Bombshell, [personal profile] bombshelled
Guild Affiliation: Lana is coming fresh off of being brainwashed in a "re-education center" by a government task force seeking to force teen heroes to either give up the cape or register with one of their approved programs. So let's just say she'll be a little hesitant to just join up with a guild straight away.
Character Motivations & IC/OOC Goals: Like I said, she's fresh off a pretty traumatic experience, so she wants to get her feet back under her and build up her confidence again as a hero. That's a longer term goal, though. Short term, she just wants to find a therapist and get settled into this new weird as shit world.
Plot/CR Hooks: Would love CR with: other teen/young heroes, other reformed villains, people who like swearing and blowing shit up, people who might try to stop her from swearing and blowing shit up!

Look out! She has kablooie powers!

Technically it IS an iron but still. Kyle, why.

Anyway, I look forward Jason snarking at Kyle some more.
mostdangerousbird: (064 send up a signal i'll throw u a line)

[personal profile] mostdangerousbird 2022-11-28 05:31 pm (UTC)(link)
As much as Tim would like to not be on Lois’ radar if she’s not familiar with Batman and his flock, Jon’s his brother’s best friend and he is literally living with a Kent. He’ll probably try to head it off by being like oh Ms. Lane real fan of your work and then if (when) 2+2=4 be like I’m sure I mentioned my best friend is Superboy.
