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:
Steve Rogers | Marvel Cinematic Universe
Preferred Communication:
Character Name & Journal: Steve Rogers
Guild Affiliation: Unaligned and likely staying that way. He has Strong Feelings about superhero registration.
Character Motivations & IC/OOC Goals: Steve's immediate goal is to get back home and finish the job of reversing Thanos' snap. He might chill out a little once he (presumably) learns from Strange or Vision that The Avengers eventually succeed at this. But chilling out for him means throwing himself headfirst into some other endeavor where he can fully focus on helping others and ignore his own wishes and desires. Group therapy, anyone? Just kidding. He'll probably lean back into the superheroing where plot allows/demands.
Plot/CR Hooks: He is a leader/motivational type but that part of himself has taken a major blow due to letting down the literal entire universe. That was all his fault and his fault only, you know. So he will be hesitant to step back into that role but characters who need that kind of influence might inspire him in that direction.
