APRIL'S OOC INTRO & PLOTTING POST

[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.

LITTLE LOVE, KANSAS —

This month appears to be a little different. Though all the signs of a confluence appear there is no sign of any new arrivals. The gathering waits with baited breath and then finds nothing of interest occurs. Lightning strikes a potato field and that appears to be that.

People in town begin to go missing the next day. Both the new arrivals and the missing people have been planted deep under the field by the confluence's newest creation: giant, sapient potatoes of surprising strength. These potatoes seem to function as a hive-mind. Some arrivals may have been planted too deeply and may have spent the last night in an underground cave system, unable to break through the cave due to the potato's roots. Characters can fall into this cave system during combat. The water down here is glowing and, if drank, will cause you to become temporarily bio-luminescent and empathic to plants. Down there they will be able to locate the source of these monsters.

You will need to fight or tame these potato monsters in order to get the town back to normal.

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.

BUD THE SPUD —

Finally, in the aftermath of all of this, Little Love will require some ongoing assistance with pruning its new monsterous plant population. The older of these beasts seem amenable to being taken in and given a home. The younger ones keep trying to kidnap and plant people. The town seems surprisingly okay with this new breed of potato and some comment that it's the tenderest potato they've ever eaten.

GETTING TO KNOW YOU —

Please use the form below to introduce yourself and start plotting:

<B>Player Name & Pronouns:</b> <B>Preferred Communication:</b> Plurk, Discord, DM, etc. <B>Character Name & Journal:</b> <B>Guild Affiliation:</b> Is your character susceptible to being swayed into membership? Or will they take the hard path and stay unaffiliated? <B>Character Motivations & IC/OOC Goals:</b> What does your character want? You can list short term and long term goals, but also emotional needs that aren't being fulfilled. What do you want to do with them in game? What ideas do you already have? <B>Plot/CR Hooks:</b> What kinds of things does your character get up to that might throw them in the path of someone else's plot, or that you would like other players to engage with? What role does your character play in their canon plot? What role might they play in others' plots, and what would it take to get their attention? Are they an antagonist, a researcher, a tech whiz?

Bart's like "Come. Or don't. But you're welcome to drop by."

Also, Kat-El will probably decide that since he doesn't care, he's got to be won over to the cult of feline worship.

[robintohood]

Pfft. It does make him look distinct!

... Also, this sounds like vigilante bingo should somehow happen in-game.

[kid_flash_found]

Yes. Did you not read the WFA with the video game contest? Even if that isn't the same Jay.

[fledges]

yesss i would absolutely love that! they'd be super cute!

[robintohood]

CUTE. Hard to resist cats.

[robintohood]

WHAT BART SAID. IT... DEPENDS? No shame in killing though. Sorry, Kate.

[lightmyself]

Vigilante Bingo better be a thing. It will be hilarious.

[fledges]

hmmm isn't there though!!

ig public shaming in some sort of contest is the way to go

[fledges]

I HAVEN'T UNFORTUNATELY i've only read bits and pieces of wfa! it's super cute though

[fledges]

she would complain that the glitter bomb arrow is absurd and then be annoyed when she realizes it's perfect for some super specific task, so yes please

[robintohood]

That's awful.

I'M IN.

[kid_flash_found]

It's episode 22 if you're curious.

[fledges]

HELLO kate and aloy would have such perfect cr. they can be intense perfectionist archer buddies.

also, funnily enough, kate is tech saavy in the sense that she's a modern person who grew up with smartphones and stuff, but also terrible at it in the sense that she doesn't know much more than the basics, so that might be fun to play with.

[kid_flash_found]

Arrowette was basically a vigilante version of the daughter of one of the moms on shows like Toddlers and Tiaras, so showmanship was important. She actually used soap bubble arrows and crazy stuff.

Trick arrows are an important part of an archer's repertoire. Just ask Green Arrow. He using a boxing glove arrow.

[tosavethisworld]

Aloy taking one look at Kate like you. you are my new best friend. I wanna outdo your Robin Hood shot.

oh it would be!! I like the idea of Aloy being very good at figuring out how things work but just very inexperienced in actually using them—the Focus is highly advanced and she uses it all the time, but that’s about the only working tech she’s exposed to regularly before the main events of the game, so Kate and her smartphone and other shiny new modern-day tech will interest her greatly
tell her more about the Old Ones and their (checks Focus) YouTube poop Kate

[thecoolerloki]

join the villains it'll be fun

[pinkxeno]

MAGGIE HIII!
I'm so excited to see Deku here! And Mina will be so happy too she has been waiting for her classmates to show up for ages sob

But welcome to the game! I hope you have lots of fun. And of course I will be throwing the pink girl at you whenever you post up something with Izuku (=

[defendure]

HIIII I'm glad to get to play with you again!! I will definitely be topleveling on the intro log!

[pinkxeno]

Expect a lot of excitement from Mina because she has seen Some Shit and is ready to share it all

[corpuslingua]

Sorry she won't know you Laurie, but yes bring on the info. It would be interesting to see where things go.

[corpuslingua]

Tim, you know better than to ask things like that. It's just asking for trouble and they already have enough to deal with.

Time to get down and dirty and find a new Batcave.

[corpuslingua]

New game, who this?

Every Bat has to have a speedster in their life.

[corpuslingua]

Jason! It's all good, sorry she'll be trying so hard to bring him to the Batside again since she's past her own heel run. She gets the daddy issues though.

[corpuslingua]

adds another Bat here

Cass could use a Stephanie substitute and Kate would absolutely fit the bill.

[robintohood]

But we ALL have daddy issues. And yeees. Jason's long due for a redemption arc since DC will never explain how his went down. Stupid reboot events.
