JUNE OOC INTRO AND PLOTTING POST
OOC INTRO & PLOTTING
HELLO, HEROES AND VILLAINS! Welcome to![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
metaheroes! We're absolutely delighted to have you here. This is both our OOC introduction and plotting for your initial arrival! Please use the information below to guide your plotting as you settle in.
Confluences appear to be changing. Though most people arrive together, you are free to have your character's arrival happen later in the week.
You are free to post your intro after reading this post! We will not be posting a log for this.
The GUILDS have begun employing safety measures to prevent new arrivals from destroying the cities they land in. As seen on the last TEST DRIVE MEME, the cities have set up ways to intercept the new arrivals and bring them to headquarters as quickly as possible.

OUTSIDE ATLANTIS—
This Confluence is somewhat different from most of the others. New arrivals will find themselves not falling, but floating upwards. There’s a moment of weightlessness, before a sudden pressure and wetness: you’ve found yourselves at the bottom of the ocean, drifting upwards out of glowing cracks in the earth.
There’s little hope of swimming to the surface, but those who live here are prepared. Magical air bubbles will quickly begin to form around new arrivals, allowing them to breathe and navigate more easily. Those who dodge out of the bubbles will find themselves temporarily able to breathe underwater - though you can sense that this power won't last forever. You'll probably still need someone to help you out here.
In the distance, you can see the lights of an underwater city encased in a massive glass dome. Dark sleek shapes emerge, moving with swift grace through the water towards you. They’re seals - or, more properly, selkies. They’ll gather up as many new arrivals as they can and herd them back towards the city of Atlantis. It’s possible, of course, that some of you may slip through the metaphorical cracks, and have to either swim there on your own or roll in your bubbles like giant hamster balls. Other metas can come out to rescue these stragglers - the Atlanteans have plenty of personal submersibles that they can loan you.

LODGINGS —
Once the Guardian Alliance arrives in Atlantis to offer new arrivals an explanation and trasport back to the surface, 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.

UNDER THE SEA —
The kaijuu attacks of this month may have been thwarted, but the city of Atlantis is still in the midst of massive fallout. They’ve petitioned for aid from both the Guilds and the governments of the surface, which means that nearly anyone can find their way into a relief effort if they try. Unaligned metas can easily join up with civilian charity groups, and new arrivals are of course already on the scene.
The undersea earthquakes caused by the emerging monsters have caused a great deal of damage throughout Atlantis itself. Buildings and infrastructure alike have collapsed. By now, most people have been recovered from the wreckage, but there’s still some search and rescue efforts going on for anyone so inclined. You can also help with the burgeoning repair efforts. The most urgent of these, naturally, are to do with the cracks. There’s hairline fractures in several parts of the glass dome overarching the enclosed portion of the city. These areas have been evacuated and cordoned off from civilians, but they'll need to be dealt with quickly, and any help would be very much welcomed.
Outside of the city, there’s been a significant environmental impact. You can see the kaijuu blood, iridescent and thick like some kind of mystical oil spill, still floating through the water around here. It’s made it too dangerous for any but the most cautious of selkies to leave the city and swim freely, so it must be filtered out. Volunteers can take small submersible crafts out into the ocean for this mission. They’re primarily science vessels, built to filter pollutants out of the seawater and collect them in tanks; only one person is required to drive it, although it’s recommended that someone also come along to operate the small attached turret.
Why is there a turret? Well, it seems that the kaijuu blood has had strange effects on some of the local fauna. Deep-sea creatures are already pretty alarming, but now there’s things like mutated gulper eels and anglerfish swimming around and attacking anything that moves. Their natural bioluminescence has taken on a flashing, strobe-light effect in a myriad of neon colors. Some may have even developed multiple heads, or even more rows of horrible teeth. Have fun with that!
The Atlanteans will be very appreciative of any help from surface-dwellers with any of these problems. If your character provides significant assistance - or, alternately, causes problems for them- report your actions here to find out what happens!
The repair and reconstruction efforts in Atlantis will be ongoing, with the most major problems lasting at least until JULY 3RD.

GETTING TO KNOW YOU —
Please use the form below to introduce yourself and start plotting:
Dylan Brock | Venom / Marvel (Earth-616)
Preferred Communication:
Character Name & Journal: Dylan Brock (
Guild Affiliation: He'll probably join the Guardian Alliance eventually, but he'll be pretty hesitant for a while. He'll be eyeing the offer like "What's the catch?"
Character Motivations & IC/OOC Goals:
thanks, dadand I'm giving him a whole NEW set that is more in line with his alien heritage. Dylan's a human-symbiote hybrid, so he's now got abilities that echo Venom's more! He won't be taking on the Venom mantle here, and will try to invent himself as a new hero & figure out who he is.Ultimately, he wants to be a good guy and protect the innocent the way his dad does, but like, what does "good" even mean, man? Having different friends & mentors pulling him in different moral & ethical directions would be a lot of fun to explore.
Plot/CR Hooks:
I'll probably think of more right when someone replies and i can't edit anymore. :p Nice to meet you all!

And my other character, TASM Harry Osborn, knows a bit about meeting alternate universe relatives/friends. But he might not give the best advice there, seeing as he was very antagonistic towards Raimiverse Norman until Norman ended up dropping... But oh well!
no subject
Though he probably left out the weird love triangle they had going on with the Venom symbiote.("Yeah, back home my dad is Venom." "Omg, Flash has a kid?" "No, the other Venom." "...Mac Gargan had a kid?!" "NO!")
That's SUPER interesting, actually, because in the comics, Harry's son Normie is one of Dylan's best (read: only) friends! Dylan actually lived with them for... a couple months, I believe? I'd have to go back and check.
He has pictures on his phone if u wanna see them, Harry :)

I poked through your profile a little and I think there are some good CR hooks in there! Dylan sharing his knowledge & photos of Normie Osborn could potentially exacerbate Harry's obsession with finding a cure, either in a "i have to live long enough to experience this" way or just a "it's not fair why does THAT me get to have this and I don't?" way.
Also just a general... theme of Inheriting Family Trauma from their dads, if they get to talking about it. That's probably further down the line, though.
no subject
And yeah, I'd love to work towards trauma sharing!

But eventually I do kind of see him sneaking out to go do Hero Stuff on his own, because fourteen year olds are known for their excellent decision making.

If this happens after Jason's built some kind of rapport with Venom, I feel like we could get some
goodfun but maybe not positive CR all around if we time this right. Something something "WHY would you encourage him to put himself in danger?" that sort of thing.no subject

It's cool if you're 100% human! The fact that you have Similar Experiences what with world-saving and being in the thick of battle will still be helpful!

GOOD, Hibiki needs to meet more fellow super teens here with experience in saving worlds and the battlefield.
