HOUSEKEEPING

Hello Heroes!

⚔︎ We are lowering the amount of duplicate characters allowed in game to three. This has been reflected in the rules.

⚔︎ We'll be making a few changes to the way we post information in Metaheroes! Some of these changes are detailed below; keep an eye out for further updates!

⚔︎ Instead of city prompts within our State of the Game post, we will be putting up a log on the the first of the month. This log will contain a New Arrivals portion as well as general city prompts for characters to respond to.

⚔︎ The March Test Drive Meme will go up on March 4th.

So feel free to share your ideas with us at PLAYER PLOTS. No plot is too big or too small! If you want to follow up on an event, investigate the setting or interact with a NPC, you can also hit up SETTING ENGAGEMENT and NPC ENGAGEMENT respectively.

The bolded parts of this post are meant to highlight areas that players can interact with and affect.

⚔︎ For the April application round, any current player can extend one invitation. Players planning to invite someone this round should comment below with the player's information!

⚔︎ This game has an unofficial DISCORD SERVER! As a reminder, the moderators will not be monitoring the server's contents. However, players who have issues in the server are still welcome to bring their concerns to us at MOD CONTACT, just as they would with Plurk.

Players unsure whether this affects their characters can check on the GUILDS page. As characters are removed from the Diadem Hotel, players should comment to the HOUSING page with updates on where they are staying. The deadline for January arrivals is March 27.

⚔︎ JANUARY ARRIVALS LOSE THEIR FREE RIDE! When characters first arrived, the guilds promised to help them get their footing. Per notices sent to each occupied room, characters have until MARCH 27TH before their stay at the Diadem Hotel comes to an end. Characters who commit to a guild may take advantage of the associated housing subsidy or may use their own personal income to secure private housing.

ACTIVITY WARNING

Will no longer be included on the State of the Game posts. This is due to the change in when activity is posted, and when the State of the Game posts go live. Instead, warning lists will be put on the bottom of the Activity page two days prior to the end of the activity period.

DROPS

The following characters will vanish in the coming Confluence: Bethan Costigan, Peter Parker (MCU), Bruce Wayne, Terry McGinnis, Bucky Barnes, Joker, Jessica Jones, Will Solace, Loki Laufeyson (Kid Loki), Dr Jane Foster, Bridget "Birdie" Lewis, Jubilee, Godzilla, Carol Malus Dienheim, Eddie Brock

Please coordinate with the mods if you would like to claim some or all of their belongings.

GETTING TO KNOW YOU —

Hello, new heroes! Please use the form below to introduce yourself and start plotting if you'd like:

<B>Player Name & Pronouns:</b> <B>Preferred Communication:</b> Plurk, Discord, DM, etc. <B>Character Name & Journal:</b> <B>Guild Affiliation:</b> Is your character susceptible to being swayed into membership? Or will they take the hard path and stay unaffiliated? <B>Character Motivations & IC/OOC Goals:</b> What does your character want? You can list short term and long term goals, but also emotional needs that aren't being fulfilled. What do you want to do with them in game? What ideas do you already have? <B>Plot/CR Hooks:</b> What kinds of things does your character get up to that might throw them in the path of someone else's plot, or that you would like other players to engage with? What role does your character play in their canon plot? What role might they play in others' plots, and what would it take to get their attention? Are they an antagonist, a researcher, a tech whiz?

Player Name & Pronouns: emma, she/her
Preferred Communication: baleinette, my disco is listed on it

Character Name & Journal: lila bard ( aspyrata ) | info
Guild Affiliation: unaffiliated and she will probably stay that way because she's unendingly stubborn and can't be tamed, fuck the police

Character Motivations & IC/OOC Goals: lila wants freedom! she's a thief and a pirate and her boyfriend is not here and he is 99% of her impulse control (and he is bad at it) so she will want to go her own way, but she also has her own moral code and she doesn't take well to people targeting kids or the poor because she believes in punching up so she will probably be happy to start shit with any one who punches down, also she will steal your stuff byeeeee

Plot/CR Hooks: MAGIC, BABY! lila has untrained blood magic and she is willing to use it and probably will be when i get around to putting up a tl for her

she's also dressed like she's (a boy) from 1819

she has no concept of modern earth tech, mad king george was her king, she is from the past, guys, she's never seen a car in her life, what the fuck is a phone, what is a digital watch, the toilet??? flushes itself???, THE BREAD COMES PRE-SLICED??

she has a glass eye that has been broken and shattered into a starburst

if your character can sense magic, she is magic

[eggplanting]

i got so excited for a second because i thought you'd apped ava from warrior nun but you know what lila actually sounds even cooler

also hey girl hey, look at us, in a game together again. crazy.

[infirmiere]

ava is cute as hell, but lila is just .......perfect gremlin pirate king

[eggplanting]

genuinely took me a minute to remember when we were even last in a game together bc i think we were ships passing in the night at dup

steph will probably adore her, especially since lila does have some morals

[aspyrata]

was it riverview, i think it was riverview? AGES and here we are

[eggplanting]

i think so??? which is insane. i was still living in australia when i was in riverview

[infirmiere]
