OOC INTRO & PLOTTING - FEBRUARY
OOC INTRO & PLOTTING
HELLO, HEROES AND VILLAINS! Welcome to
![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png){kind=small}
metaheroes! We're absolutely delighted to have you here. This is both our OOC introduction and plotting for our arrival event! Please use the information below to guide your plotting as you settle in: Excelsior City —
New characters will arrive in a terrible storm that seizes Excelsior City and kills the power in Silicon Valley in the midst of old characters' tour of their potential housing locations.
During the arrival log, characters will be faced with vloggers-turned-supervillains who can alter time. This may mean characters who actually appeared on the original test drive meme are suddenly yeeted forward into the Excelsior City Confluence, allowing people to keep their TDM threads AND just now arrive into the game as they were yanked out of their original arrival.
These vloggers can be killed. The Guardian Alliance would rather apprehend them and hold them accountable for their crimes, but the Society of Villainous Reformation will put out a kill order for making them look bad.
Lodgings —
Once the Guardian Alliance arrives on the scene in Excelsior and controls the situation, 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 unexpected 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 access to the guild networks, as well as credit cards to help them start a life here.
As the dust settles and rooms fill up, the GUILDS confer. The Guilds are aware that they do not have the manpower to handle this ongoing problem of Confluence arrivals - and the Diadem is going to run out of rooms. To this end, 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. Note: characters who have been in the game for two months will reach their deadline to decide! Two months of living off the Guilds' dime is coming to a close for some of the oldest characters, and decisions should be made in March.
Superzeroes —
The people of Excelsior City are all too familiar with what comes with powers, and some of the locals will be immediately inclined to help, But to others, the new metas' lack of control over their powers makes them a bigger threat than whatever they were trying to stop.
That's right — expect the new metas' surprising powers can go haywire in myriad ways, including property damage and death. Powers may activate unexpectedly, backfire, or similar, even for those who have experience with other kinds of supernatural abilities, even for the well-intentioned heroes among the new arrivals.
The more villainously inclined arrivals may take advantage of the chaos, or of their own new powers, to live out their villainous dreams, making things worse for everyone in the process.
Feel free to develop and use NPCs in your threads!
Please remember to report any major damage your characters directly cause, or incidents that would be noticed by authorities (murders, arson, etc), or things you think other players would take notice of to the newly redesigned PLOTTING post, so we can keep track.
Disney's Haunted Mansion —
The upcoming March event will offer a chance for some reality-shifting horror in a cursed house, so you can start thinking about if you'd like your character to be a victim of the house or a heroic rescuer.

Getting to Know You
Please use the (updated) form below to introduce yourself and start plotting:
no subject
uni student who's always sleepy and loves comics way too much. please talk to me about marvel, dc, and image comics because these are my favs!! still behind on a lot of the shows, but we're working on it.
preferred communication:
character name & journal: eddie Brock @
guild affiliation: probably won't join a guild until the very last minute.
character motivations & IC/OOC Goals: eddie and venom are sort of on the run for crimes in canon, so they're both going to be glad for a clean slate. And venom!! is going to be so happy!! to just be seen!! oh my God, he gets to just walk down the street, goo and all?? he gets to just WALK INTO WALMART, TENTACLES OUT??? TEETH OUT?? no more hiding??? this place is amazing!!!!
they're pretty attached to this 'lethal protector' identity, so they're definitely going to get mixed up in the action and help people wherever they can. potentially lethally.
also have an idea for eddie eventually starting up a newspaper column where he interviews all these new heroes about their homeworlds and publishes it to the masses. like a Monster of the Month feature. just to show the regular folks that they aren't that scary.
Plot/CR Hooks:
i'm also partial to: eddie being an irresponsible older brother figure type to some of the younger heroes, accidental murder, negative cr, inappropriate flirting, that trope where characters have to go somewhere undercover for some reason and botch it
