OOC INTRO & PLOTTING - FEBRUARY


OOC INTRO & PLOTTING
HELLO, HEROES AND VILLAINS! Welcome to [community profile] 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:

planetary_bonds: (an open happiness)

yusei fudo | yu-gi-oh! 5d's

[personal profile] planetary_bonds 2022-02-25 06:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Player Name & Pronouns: Gale | she/her;they/them
Preferred Communication: Plurk @ [plurk.com profile] emexceedschangezearu or Discord @ Gale#4674

Character Name & Journal: Yusei Fudo @ [personal profile] planetary_bonds

Guild Affiliation: planning on having him join the Society of Vilainous Reformation, since he barely gets along with authority on a good day and probably identifies with the seedier sorts to begin with. that's just home babes.

Character Motivations & IC/OOC Goals: Yusei's coming from a point in canon where he's starting to feel a little stranded - he's accomplished a lot of his wishes and isn't sure where to go next. He's only barely started on getting his own emotional hangups ironed out, and he still has insecurities regarding his place in the world and how he can give back to the city that his father's invention tore apart. So Yusei's definitely going to at least explore this new world and its possibilities, maybe find some answers about himself (and maybe Momentum) along the way.
Plot/CR Hooks: Yusei's a techy homeboy at heart and especially loves working with vehicles. Need a souped up ride? He's here for that. Need to hack into something? he's your guy. Want to just generally disregard the constabulory? he will probably join you if no one's getting hurt.

also one of his powers involves having the rainbow personfication of perpetual energy replace his blood and the mental hangups he has over that means he refuses to use it for the greater good (or evil), please feel free to take advantage of that if your characters ever find out. i welcome all the plots.

Player Name & Pronouns: Audrey, he/she/they
Preferred Communication: PM or eviefrye at Plurk

Character Name & Journal: Loki Laufeyson (Kid Loki) [personal profile] thecoolerloki
Guild Affiliation: VILLAIN
Character Motivations & IC/OOC Goals: Loki wants to prove that he's a good person both to himself and to everyone here. Which is why he's joining up with villains because clearly that means he's lying so he's actually a hero! He's also struggling with the knowledge that if he returns home, he'll die! Aaaand the person that kills him is just comfortably living here as well. BONUS he's never had powers so learning to deal with those!

Personally I wanna test his morality and play around with him doing good things as well as evil things! I'm also interested in him getting used to people actually treating him like a child and taking care of him. He's not very good at interacting with other people sincerely, and naturally assumes everyone hates him. Let him actually have some positive relationships please!
Plot/CR Hooks: TEEN HERO PLOTS!!! SCHOOL!! RELUCTANT FOUND FAMILY!!! Also him being a secret agent and going between sides and not really helping either. I think it'd be interesting to play with both villains and heroes concerned with his alignment because small child. Said small child is also a small wizard who doesn't know how to control his powers yet so stuff there too!

NO I'M VERY COOL!!! the cooliest

also when do the x-men meetings start
chin_godzilla: (lol)

[personal profile] chin_godzilla 2022-02-25 06:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Player Name & Pronouns: Riki, he/him
Preferred Communication: [plurk.com profile] rikimaruhitori, rikimaruhitori#6431 on Discord, or you can PM this journal if you prefer!

Character Name & Journal: Godzilla @ [personal profile] chin_godzilla
Guild Affiliation: The big guy will definitely be joining the Guardian Alliance as soon as possible. He's a good boy and can get a decent grasp of the situation, but he also knows it's better to have human friends who can handle the finer details for him.
Character Motivations & IC/OOC Goals: Interestingly enough, this version of Godzilla works very well with people! Mostly humans, but he's not picky. One thing he'll absolutely want is a community of friends and fellow weirdos to hang out with, especially people who can handle more complex human things like technology or talking to other humans. Thankfully, he will have a charm to let him be...not...three hundred feet tall all the time, so on top of easier interactions, he'll definitely want to see things how tiny humans do. Who knows? He's a smart boy, so maybe he can learn to read or type or wear the most thinly veiled secret identity one can imagine.
Plot/CR Hooks: Godzilla's used to living in (or at least near) a big city, so there's a good chance for him to just. Up and decide to take a stroll and learn about his new environs. Or inexplicably show up when someone's in danger because he does that (usually to save his adopted dad, but he's not here right now). When he's not being a literal Big Damn Hero, he's being a big aquatic lizard who sometimes gets into trouble, himself. Literally having him walk in (or swim by) and accidentally breaking something or getting someone wet is pretty normal. Accidents happen when you're out for a stroll or hunting for fish. The big guy loves fish.

Godzilla is sapient, so it'll be quick to realize he's actually paying attention to your character. Could be fun for anyone who's not so comfortable around people or psychics/mind readers or any similar abilities to actually get some thoughts from him. Look, he's a big friendly reptile; the plot writes itself and you do want a big friendly reptile friend, right? Of course you do. You're welcome.

There have been none, other than Jean and David talking some. Sorry man. David's been busy falling in love. Please don't join the 'give the dude a shovel talk' team.

stop falling in love so there can be epic x-men meetings

Dude, he's not even allowed to call those. Talk to Jean or Logan or Lorna. They're all proper X-Men.

Player Name & Pronouns: iola (she/her)
Preferred Communication: [plurk.com profile] watchet - feel free to add me!

Character Name & Journal: Diana Prince a.k.a. Wonder Woman | [personal profile] monomachy
Guild Affiliation: None yet! But she'll probably join the Guardian Alliance.
Character Motivations & IC/OOC Goals: Diana is getting dropped into the game right after the end of WWI (1918), so it's going to be a definite culture shock for her! Her first order of business is going to be finding out what in the heck just happened, and where/when she is. She will do her research and figure out what's happened over the past century, probably racking up more guilt about not being there, but will take this opportunity to do the good she can when/where she is now. My bigger goal for her is to set her on a different path from the one she took in DCEU canon, where she spent 100 years on her own, figuring out how to be the hero the world needed her to be while also not dealing with a lot of trauma and guilt and loneliness. This game is an opportunity for her to continue her hero's journey in a different way, with resources and people she can turn to when figuring it all out. We're here for the healing, baby.
Plot/CR Hooks: Diana is still pretty new to the (mostly) full scope of her powers, and it's going to take some time for her to figure out how to use them in a way that will maybe avoid causing millions in property damage every time she fights a villain or monster. I'm talking training! I'm talking teamwork exercises! This era of Diana also has a lot of hope and curiosity in her heart still, so she's going to be poking around everywhere she can, learning about this new world and the others in it. Diana can also act as a mentor to the younger crowd (points to eyes, points to all these Teens), but would also benefit from having a mentor of her own. Give her friendship, give her people to love, give her ways to casually benchpress a school bus. I'm here for it all.

As far as arrival goes, she'll be around Excelsior City, helping where she can and knocking out baddie vloggers when able. Let's do some team-ups! If anybody would like to accidentally have to share a room with her, lmk as well.

Player Name & Pronouns: Lausanne (think Los Angeles without the "geles"), She/Her.
Preferred Communication: Feel free to add me on plurk at [plurk.com profile] blackspire or DM me.

Character Name & Journal: Fandral (the Dashing) [personal profile] fairhair
Guild Affiliation: Guardian Alliance as if there was any doubt
Character Motivations & IC/OOC Goals: Given that Fandral is almost always seen in the context of being part of a trio or group, I'm very much looking forward to him having to do things solo. He's quite set in his ways so navigating something this new will prove a challenge, even if he won't admit it. He has very little sense about how Earth works but he's enthusiastic and ready to charge headfirst into most things.

Plot/CR Hooks: I try not to think too far in advance of what I'd like for him to get up. I enjoy things happening by surprise and I don't like getting tied down with plots that may hinder future plans. But Fandral's very friendly and quite the charmer/romancer, so I expect that will be helpful in building CR. Mostly he'll want to be as heroic as possible and flash about his muscles while sincerely being a good guy. He's not exactly tactical, so if you want him to help on a mission, use him for his brawn and not his brain.

I guess he also has a promise he made to Thor about keeping a certain child safe from harm, which will probably also account for some unexpected things to happen down the road.

dani & jinx - arcane

[personal profile] whimsikills 2022-02-25 07:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Player Name & Pronouns: Dani | she/her
Preferred Communication: [plurk.com profile] featherington

Character Name & Journal: Jinx | [personal profile] whimsikills
Guild Affiliation: None yet, and likely to stay that way for the next while.
Character Motivations & IC/OOC Goals: Jinx has just basically just destroyed all her familial bonds figuratively and literally! She will be clinging to Silco's coattails for a bit while she gets her bearings, before getting to work on Property Damage etc. OOC goals are stable friendships, frenemies and pos some people for her to hyperfocus being mad at. She will also be setting up a little place somewhere to build weapons and new grenades etc. Maybe she will make something new!!
Plot/CR Hooks: Jinx is both a tech wiz and an antagonist. She will be likely getting up to no good via thievery, lurking, property damage/vandalization, having public meltdowns etc. Otherwise you might spot her buying engineer/mechanic supplies and art supplies. She is multitalented. Watch decorate all your buildings.
ikols: i'm a wanted man (you should never ever trust my kind)
