JULY STATE OF THE GAME
STATE OF THE GAME
⚔︎ LITTLE LOVE - Little Love has been. . quiet, over the last month. With the changes going on in Excelsior and the shift in power in Central City, it's no wonder that Little Love has been trying to stay out of the mess. Some locals have been working on building small shelters on their farmland, passing through whispers that their doors are open to those who need safe housing. Their world is meant to be shared, after all. Separating people by whether or not they were born on their planet goes against everything Little Love believes in, and if they can offer safe haven for people who need it, there are several old cranky farmers who will open up barn doors - no questions asked.
⚔︎ CENTRAL CITY - Central City's borders are still "closed", but only when it suits Mechanima himself. Alliance heroes will find it difficult to get in past it's borders, being stopped by Red Hood's crew in some areas and other Society villains at others. Unaligned Starfallen will have no difficulty passing borders, nor will Society ones. While Mechanima is avoiding directly interfering with Arcadia business, people may notice that, while some of the Arcadian guards had been within Central City when the city takeover had been announced, there's been less of them visibly wandering the streets - and several Society villains messing with whatever ones manage to sneak their way in. This is their turf, not Arcadia's.
⚔︎ SUNSET FALLS - With Loki's absence, things in Sunset Falls have started getting tense. It feels like the air is working hard to strangle the life out of it's residents; the local were-teens are getting rowdier than usual, antsier, and have begun causing issues on the edge of town: breaking into shops, leaving a lot of colorful graffiti over unguarded buildings, throwing parties in old abandoned buildings and not cleaning up after themselves when they're done - which is leaving others in town feeling more agitated, too. Witches are getting angry that their sacred grounds are getting stamped all over, they're laying curses for the next poor group to step up, those curses are causing kids to get sick or vomit up frogs, which is angering parents, which is causing work places to get even more tense. Something foul is in the air, and it's making everything worse.
⚔︎ EXCELSIOR - Once again, plants have overtaken Excelsior. Heroes currently stationed in Arcadia are asked to come help eradicate them while officials search for the source of the return. There are. . . new buildings being constructed on the edges of Excelsior where it meets Arcadia, tall skycrapers being built up by friendly looking drones. Their purpose isn't quite clear, but given how swiftly Excelsior is working to get them put up, they must be for something, right?

HOUSEKEEPING
Hello, Heroes!
⚔︎ We've updated the NPC engagement page to reflect some of the changes with the current roster: namely, Fantastic's takeover of the Alliance
⚔︎ The FAQ has been updated with the following: the Battlements of the Shining Gods info blurb has been updated, added return home trips, clarified where to go to interact with NPCs, and cleared up some of the information surrounding OurPowers. We'll be working on updating this through August, too! Please let us know if there are any changes you think could be useful for our FAQ.
⚔︎ We're updating the Activity Check system for new characters: specifically, we'll be requiring that new characters respond to their first month's AC check with links to their taken list and guild page comments.
⚔︎ While we've been working to be more on top of Engagement posts lately, we've also realized managing to keep up with event engagements on top of non-event engagements can be a little extra taxing! To counteract this: we're going to be putting non-event engagements on hold during very involved events, to ensure we're able to help players interact with the event. Once events have completed, we'll return to answering plot engagements submitted by Thursday on Fridays.
The CALENDAR reflects our current schedule accurately up through September, including estimated shifted dates.
⚔︎ 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.

GETTING TO KNOW YOU —
Welcome, new heroes! Please use the form below to introduce yourself and start plotting if you'd like:
thea queen ➝ arrow (dctv)
Preferred Communication: baleinette @ plurk / dostoevskyish @ discord
Character Name & Journal: thea queen aka speedy (
Guild Affiliation: i think it would be funny if she went society because of a misunderstanding and thinking the society is like the justice society because she would be peeved about being aligned with "villains" but also probably not swap sides because of all of fantastic's shit so someone talk her into that
Character Motivations & IC/OOC Goals: so at her current canon point (mid-season 4) she is suffering from the effects of the lazarus pit bringing her back to life so she has some Anger Issues and also Bloodlust because of some dumb arrow shit. she is just trying to live her life and be a good person but her bloodlust also makes her want to kill people, whoopsie doodle, and when she doesn't....the bloodlust feeds on her own energy and she gets weaker and the wound that killed her begins opening up again. haha cool cool cool. SO THAT'S FUN!
she's a big ol' mess in desperate need of therapy, but an alternate universe is neato too. i would like her to make friends that aren't team arrow because team arrow are judgmental bitches who blame thea for their choices so she needs people that don't treat her like garbage.
mostly i'm looking to settle her and make some friends that weren't friends with her brother first because that, it turns out, is a terrible way to make friends who will actually have your back.
Plot/CR Hooks: nighttime vigilante with a bow and arrow in a red suit with the last name queen, sometimes she sits on roofs feeling sorry for herself because she is baby, probably she will accidentally beat some jerks up so maybe will need to be reeled in, also she doesn't feel pain generally which is like a fun thing to notice lmao

also he can scare the shit out of her accidentally while she’s doing vigilante stuff and he would be cool with being shot by an arrow or whatnot which would be pretty funny tbh
no subject
also he is her favorite color
