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:
LIGHT THE BAT-SIGNAL
Preferred Communication:
Character Name & Journal: Duke Thomas/The Signal |
Guild Affiliation: Unaligned right now, and he isn't sure he wants to join up, because he knows you don't do that kind of thing lightly. Not impossible but it would take time.
Character Motivations & IC/OOC Goals:
Duke just wants to do his best and Do Good. He wants to take care of his family (whatever or whoever that may be) and grow into a hero he can be proud of (and he thinks Bruce and his parents would be proud of.) Short term goals is deciding if he'll be going to school or not and having him settle in. Long term goals, I want him to grow into his own as an individual hero with a lot of trials and tribulations. I'd also love for him to grow his skills in his abilities as he has no idea what he's doing with them most of the time.
Plot/CR Hooks: He's kind of naive at times because once he judges you to be a good person, he struggles to unsee it. Which leaves him a bit open to being manipulated or to have him collect adults he looks up to and wants advice from. He also superheroes in the middle of the day, weird for a Gothamite, yeah, but it's his schtick. He's also really good with riddles as he spent years as a kid training and studying them because the Riddler kept messing with his area in town (thanks Nigma.) One of his powers also happens to be Power Amplification so he can accidentally boost other people's abilities or even cause them to gain temporary new abilities. Could be fun to play around with for accidental shenanigans or an more serious plot.
Duke could also work is someone just needs a more level headed person to get dragged along on their wild adventures. He's most often the Straight Man when dealing with his family--until suddenly he is doing something crazy and even if surprised it happened.

Jason's already intrigued by what Duke's schtick is because yellow sure is a choice for a Gotham vigilante.

Hitori is a big ball of vibrating anxiety that could use a level-headed friend, if you'd be interested in these two having CR?

but it'll be nice to have their daytime cape running around, to, you know, guard the daytime while the rest of them hibernate
