MARCH OOC INTRO

[metamods]

OOC INTRO & PLOTTING
HELLO, HEROES AND VILLAINS! Welcome to 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.

Player Name & Pronouns: exxie | she/they
Preferred Communication: perilous

Character Name & Journal: billy kaplan (this journal!)
Guild Affiliation: he MIGHT join the guardians, but then again he might go unaffiliated.
Character Motivations & IC/OOC Goals: he'd really like to go home, so any magic types that wanna get together to try to figure this shit out.. pls hit him up.
Plot/CR Hooks: billy's a reality-warper of pretty scary potential, but mostly you wouldn't have any idea about it. he sometimes fucks up spells still, so i'm happy to use that as a plot point if ya want. he knows middle-brother loki and will probably wanna get to know the other two lokis, so anyone involved with any of the three.. c'mere. otherwise idk i'm just vibing.

Jaime Reyes (Blue Beetle) | DC Comics

[azulescarabajo]

Player Name & Pronouns: Emmy, she/her
Preferred Communication: gravenrose, Starlight#5914 on Discord

Character Name & Journal: Jaime Reyes/Blue Beetle, azulescarabajo
Guild Affiliation: Guardian Alliance
Character Motivations & IC/OOC Goals: Really what he wants is to get home because he already spent stupid amounts of time away from his family because of superhero stuff. He also wants to be helpful! So while he's here, he'll be getting into doing typical hero stuff. Saving people from natural disasters, punching supervillains, and saving the world as best he can. He's just barely getting ready to graduate high school (eighteen!) and was studying for the SATs when this happened so he'll want to get to work on that again in the mean time. You know, if they have SATs on alternate Earths? OOC I'd love to get him into some crime fighting stuff, maybe some plots to take over or destroy the world that need thwarting? The usual thing for Blue Beetle!
Plot/CR Hooks: Blue Beetle is a hero that tends to serve as a supporting character in stories that aren't his own. Jaime is initially recruited by Batman in Infinite Crisis and shows up periodically, especially in the Teen Titans books as a supporting character and eventually a member of the team. He's very earnest, very centered in his moral compass, and wants to do his best to help--he's a boy scout. He's also very stubborn and independent minded and doesn't like being kept in the dark, so he's perfect as a foil for more secretive characters or for people who like to be in charge.

[azulescarabajo]

Player Name & Pronouns: Chris she/her
Preferred Communication: millennialfalcon / ©hris#1234

Character Name & Journal: Angela (née Aldrif Odinsdottir) hevenly
Guild Affiliation: she's not joining shit without some kind of better understanding of the give and take involved. her life motto is "Nothing is for nothing, everything has its price," and she takes that very seriously.

Character Motivations & IC/OOC Goals: short term goals are to get acclimated and figure out 1) why there are three versions of her brother all of a sudden, and 2) how the fuck she is supposed to look out for three fucking Lokis. long term goals include gaining enough power and support to eventually return to the last game world she was in and overthrow the evil goddess there who kidnaps people and transforms them into cannibal monsters! I'd like her to establish herself as more of a traditional Superhero™ here, as she never really got the chance to do/be that in canon.

Plot/CR Hooks:

• Angela is Loki's older sister (well, 2/3 of them, anyway) and will fully accept responsibility for whatever horrible shenanigans her brother gets up to.
  
• she is recently single for the first time in hundreds of years and is interested in exploring her new freedoms, so lookout, eligible bachelorettes!!
  
• every full and new moon (and every day that's particularly foggy) she will be transforming into her minotaur form, so anyone who wants to run into an Ahh! Real Monster is welcome to find her that way!

[nerdylilspidey]

Player Name & Pronouns: Hika (she/her)
Preferred Communication: hikaranko
Character Name & Journal: Peter Parker (nerdylilspidey)
Guild Affiliation: probably the Guild Alliance, but he'll probably strike out on his own for a bit first to get a better feel for what's what around here
Character Motivations & IC/OOC Goals: This is 1610 Peter, so he... is pretty definitely sure that he can't go home. He'd be down to help other people find a way home, but otherwise he kind of just wants to keep doing some good around here and make a new life for himself.
Plot/CR Hooks: Welp, this friendly neighborhood Spider-Man will generally throw himself in the path of protecting innocent lives and keeping baddies in check! He usually does this on a relatively smaller scale (no Avengers Ultimates-level threats for him, that's above his non-existent pay grade), but every now and then something small turns out to be connected to something big and before ya know it oops he's just found out that he has to go toe-to-toe with the city's biggest crime boss. But he's also a huge nerd and kind of a technological genius in his own right, so show him something shiny to play with and Peter could come running!

[thecoolerloki]

sister there is no need to worry no mischief here

[thecoolerloki]

they need to gossip so they can share embarrassing things about loki

[hevenly]

Uh huh.. Right.

[thecoolerloki]

anyways gotta talk to a demon bye!

[hevenly]

Angela: what do you have?
Loki: a knife a demon!
Angela: nnnooOOOOOO!!

[thecoolerloki]

angela: i'm a lesbian
loki: i thought you were asgardian???

[bossily]

Player Name & Pronouns: Brandi (she/her)
Preferred Communication: trashpanda or PM

Character Name & Journal: Clara Oswald (bossily)
Guild Affiliation: She won't be siding up with any of the guilds at first, and will be intensely focused on getting in touch with the Doctor so he can come pick her up in his rad time machine but eventually she'll likely be siding with the guardian alliance.
Character Motivations & IC/OOC Goals: Clara's main goals at first will be lots of exploration and meeting as many people as possible. She'll also be focused on doing whatever it takes to get back to the Doctor, so she may be looking into ways to tear holes in the fabric of this reality who knows. Once she starts to settle, she'll likely get a job teaching since that's her thing.
Plot/CR Hooks: Clara is very social and exceptionally charming (and often flirty), and finds it easy to meet people and hold conversations. She can easily butt into other people's situations, or drag others into her own. She plays the supportive/caretaker role very well, her focus usually being on taking care of others. If there are teens/kids around, she's likely to try and keep an eye on them to ensure they stay safe and out of trouble. Her other favorite type of person to watch after (aka: boss around) are ridiculous older men that should know better than the stupid trouble they get into, yet never can seem to get their act together.

[hevenly]

Angela, standing in front of the trio of Lokis: look at all these siblings

[wordiness]

HELL YEAH they do

[thecoolerloki]
