MARCH OOC INTRO


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.

SUNSET FALLS —
New characters will arrive by crashing up through the floorboards of Sunset Falls' gymnasium.

During the arrival log, characters will be faced with ghosts of long dead heroes and villains who have been reawakened by their arrival. These ghosts do not appear to respond to reason and seem to view te player characters as some sort of threat, have full control of their abilities and must be fought until their energy has been exhausted.

A fire elemental will also be manifesting in the city, setting it ablaze with every step it takes. Player characters will need to work together to contain this blaze and defeat the source of the inferno.


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 continued 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 assistance with setting up social media accounts on the guild networks, as well as credit cards to help them start a life here.

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. Characters have two months to decide if they want to throw in with one of the guilds and enjoy the perks of membership, or deal with making their own way in the world without their support.


PACTS MADE —
Finally, another entity has followed the new arrivals to Central City. A disembodied demon will be taking up residence in the city and will be attempting to coax characters into making a pact with it. Anyone who takes the demon up on this offer will have a wish granted, in exchange for a fragment of their soul. While there is no immediate consequence to this - selling part of your soul to a demon surely can't go without consequence. This plot is here for player plots and conflict rather than holding overarching narrative significance.

A lot of people don't and I love that sometimes. I think it works better here than in some other cases because David doesn't have a lot of canon baggage with Clint, but rather knows his protege well, and other teammates of his, so he doesn't come in with as much 'wow I'm comparing you to this other version I know' than a lot of other MCU characters. Means he can more easily see and respect Clint for who he is as MCU clint, and then maybe share stories on the side if Clint is curious, and only then.

... oh man, idk what canonpoint Billy's coming from, but I just realized that since Doreen rolled with the New Avengers AIM team for a while, the last time she saw Billy, he was fighting Space Cthulu and horked up an evil squid

I don't think they've ever really hung out or spoken to each other much, but that could be one hell of a conversation starter!

[personal profile] eatsnutsandkicksbutts 2022-03-28 07:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Daviiid! I'm only familiar with him from the old New Mutants run (which didn't end well for ANYBODY), but I'm pretty sure they've never met! Doreen hasn't tangled with the X-men crew very much (although she thought she was a mutant when she was a kid), and is only passingly familiar with the Young Avengers gang. They should absolutely meet up and hang out!

... ngl, I just skimmed through your app for David's powers, and if he ever uses them on Doreen, he could totally learn how to speak Squirrelese, she's taught other people the language!

I apologize for tina on the tdm but I loved Ripley so I'd be down to get Balthier and him together

No, it really didn't end well for a lot of people, and David definitely still carries old traumas of it. They are both at Billy and Teddy's wedding in the Emprye event back in 2020 I believe. So from his point in time they would have met in only the most brief fashion. But he'd be happy to meet her. I mean, she's done a lot of cool stuff in the heroics world.

Oh man, it didn't even occur to me that he could temporarily learn to speak Squirrelese. That's a language he never would have fathomed getting for even a moment.

David would even be happy to pass on what he knows about the history of the Hawkeye in his own world, and other Avengers, if Clint is ever curious.

omg don't I loved tina she was hilarious

and yes, please meet ripley!!

[personal profile] portolan 2022-03-29 12:06 am (UTC)(link)
tyyyy she's a lot of fun but also A Lot

possible hooks for balthier: he's a former sky pirate and now works at an antiques store where he also trades illicit magic and tech goods, he has illusion magic and a hovbike, he really likes tea, he likes fashion, he likes art, and he's usually bopping around Excelsior these days. He is technically a villain but mostly so that he has cash money and no one tells him what to do.
exasperation: (03)

[personal profile] exasperation 2022-03-29 01:18 am (UTC)(link)
ripley is also a big fan of fashion and art and he'll probably suss out low level villains to be like hey what is the scene here, do they burn people's faces off???
portolan: (i s e e)

[personal profile] portolan 2022-03-29 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
sweet i can throw up an open starter when i get balthier's log together -- maybe Ripley can come by the store (antiques w/ a gallery next door). I'm sure Balthier's on some directory for villains, and he hasn't done anything to be more than low-ranking

he's also going to be somewhat useless b/c he doesn't REALLY understand the hero/villain thing
exasperation: (266)

[personal profile] exasperation 2022-03-29 01:54 am (UTC)(link)
sounds good! ripley would definitely be exploring and making sure his powers are intact.

and that's totally fine, I'm down for ripley making some friends who just don't care about that. it'll be refreshing for him.
eatsnutsandkicksbutts: (it's tippy!)

[personal profile] eatsnutsandkicksbutts 2022-03-29 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
Ohhh, that would do it! The dangers of playing from comic canons, sometimes your characters pop up in other storylines and you miss it.

Come learn Squirrelese! Let the squirrels tell you all of their thoughts on peanut butter, they have so many opinions! (No, seriously, they're all over the city and squirrels are surprisingly good at intel!)
chin_godzilla: (what's this button do)

[personal profile] chin_godzilla 2022-03-29 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
hey, hey Loki

Would you like an emotional support kaiju in these trying times

Might make for a good friend if you need a break from people

Godzilla accepts headpats and fish
dothelokimotion: (With all the fear and respect)

[personal profile] dothelokimotion 2022-03-29 04:22 am (UTC)(link)
omg yes

loki would 100% accept godzilla as his best friend. he will provide all the headpats and fish.
chin_godzilla: (Here's lookin at you)

[personal profile] chin_godzilla 2022-03-29 04:44 am (UTC)(link)
You're a pal, Loki

That's one more person helping green look good
