JULY OOC WELCOME & PLOTTING POST


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 your initial arrival! Please use the information below to guide your plotting as you settle in.

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.

TRUST NOT JULY SKIES — CENTRAL CITY
The first well-needed thunderstorm of the July season brings with it yet another storm of falling people. A crack of thunder, a flash of brilliant lightning, and bodies are sent tumbling to the earth. The mystical failsafes will reach out to catch you before you hit the ground, though they’re only as competent as the wizards who cast them and you may find yourself lost in an unfamiliar city.

Fear not. There are heroes (and villains) combing the streets for new arrivals such as yourself. However you are free to slip further into the city, investigating the world you've fallen into and learning how to make your own way within it.

Throughout the week the sky will be behaving... oddly. Gaze for too long at those dark rolling clouds and you may feel yourself unmoored. The world around you stops feeling like this one you've come to know. You may feel the sticky heat of the one you've left. The ache of wounds you bore upon your arrival. Something seems to be pulling and you feel yourself falling, the world only righting itself when your body forces you to blink and look away. You gasp, drawing air into your lungs, and feel the compulsion to run for shelter.

The people of this world don't seem to have this problem. Yet others who fell to this world will report similar feelings. A sense of being drawn back, of being unbalanced. Perhaps it would be best to get out of the city. To find somewhere else to stay, enjoy a nice beach vacation until those stormclouds blow away.

The Guilds both appear to be relatively satisfied that this confluence only brought new people and didn't empower the populace any further than it already has been. The sheer amounts of destruction are getting hard to keep up with.

But it feels like you've arrived on the cusp of something... major. There's a spark in the air just waiting to catch fire.


LODGINGS —
Once the Guardian Alliance arrives in Atlantis to offer new arrivals an explanation and transport 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.

hiiii! and yes please! yen may attempt to disastrously mentor her, we'll see how this goes!
eggplanting: (27 - BHYSDSi)

[personal profile] eggplanting 2022-07-27 05:55 pm (UTC)(link)
she's never had any kind of powers before so tbh she could actually use a lil mentoring

and maybe down the line they can get into Complicated Feelings About Motherhood considering stephs pregnancy 👀

jaskier has taken some delight in corrupting stoking the flames of anti-authority in this little teenager's heart, so yen can do with that what she will

yen's initial reaction always is pretty much f the police/any kind of authority, she'll do what she wants — so she might only pick up where jask left off... in a less effusive way?

Flynn Scifo | Tales of Vesperia

[personal profile] thelaw 2022-07-27 07:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Player Name & Pronouns: Jean & she/her
Preferred Communication: [plurk.com profile] vendingmachine

Character Name & Journal: Flynn Scifo / thelaw

Guild Affiliation: He will probably be PRETTY EASILY SWAYED into membership to the Guardian Alliance.

Character Motivations & IC/OOC Goals: He just wants to :) help people :) Flynn's pretty selfless like that, falling into the ol' trope of "helps people so much he doesn't take care of himself." He'll want to get home, of course, but his goals for here is to settle into the Guardian Alliance and see how things turn out there. A side goal for me is to take this medieval knight and introduce him to technology, because that's always funny.

Plot/CR Hooks: He's very much into justice, to the point of being a little busybody. Criminals beware but to be honest, everyone beware, even minor crimes catch his attention. Any murder- no matter the circumstance- is a huge attention grabber to him. So if anyone wants anime Javert, he's perfect for that.

Other than getting on his bad side via crime, he's a pleasant, polite sort of guy with a decent competitive streak and easily embarrassed. Yes, he'll still be walking around in his full suit of armor, as he's pretty proud of being a Knight.

[personal profile] determinationtofist 2022-07-27 08:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Steph!! Sure, they're both sympathetic, friendly, and with strangely high tolerance levels for grumpy/closed off characters... but also Hibiki is a dummy, so if you'd like to be friends with the brightest genki girl you'll ever meet, by all means.

Also potentially things can be done with Hibiki's secret identity? Seeing as she's... now a famous singing superhero idol. I've got no ideas concerning it, but still, its out there.

Maria Cadenzavna Eve | Senki Zesshou Symphogear

[personal profile] silverapple 2022-07-27 08:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Player Name & Pronouns: Azure (she/they)
Preferred Communication: [plurk.com profile] divinereaper, naoto#0929

Character Name & Journal: Maria Cadenzavna Eve
Guild Affiliation: She's probably going to be swayed into the Alliance thanks to a certain Gungnir and her local antics, but it'll be a bit before she joins because of her history with any governing body. Thanks, America.

Character Motivations & IC/OOC Goals: Well overarching goals would be keeping the people of the world safe from any overarching danger, just because she understands what fighting and strife do to people. Another one would become an idol again, just because she truly believes that being one will soothe hurting hearts and to do it on her own accord. (Again, thanks, America.) As for short term, really just her getting situated in Metaheroes and making friends that aren't Symphogear wielders (and people experiencing the insanity that is the Symphogear armor).

Plot/CR Hooks: She's got a cat transformation thanks to the confluence, so there's definitely that and getting used to the transformation aspect of that! She's also got two whole sets of Symphogear armor (Airgetlam and Gungnir) so when she's doing hero stuff she'll be switching in-between them. White armor and black armor is bound to cause confusion and headaches. She's also just a regular old girl so she'll definitely be caught shopping and making sure her superhero persona always has a good image.
demigoth: (004)

Nico di Angelo | PJO/HOO/TOA

[personal profile] demigoth 2022-07-27 09:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Player Name & Pronouns:Marie
Preferred Communication: [plurk.com profile] seemarierun

Character Name & Journal: Nico
Guild Affiliation: Extremely malleable. He will likely join the Guardian Alliance if he meets anyone positive from there. He’s a Greek demogod; they’re inclined to heroics. However, if too many heroes judge him for his powers/his father being Hades, he won’t join.
Character Motivations & IC/OOC Goals: Nico doesn’t want anything. He wants to go home. Leave him alone.

(His friends, please. Barring that, someone to look after him in the absence of Will and Camp Halfblood. Make sure he’s eating and not overusing his powers. Maybe someone to talk to if it all gets too much.)

Plot/CR Hooks:

A whole lot of trouble and skipping school. He’ll actually raise up a skeleton army if that’s what it takes to not be forced into another school, and he’ll probably try to just walk up to the Hellmouth in Sunset Falls once he finds out about it.

He needs to find some friends his age, or near his age, and one or two older ones to look up to. Preferably people who weren’t born in 1932 and will teach him how to use computers and things like that, or maybe to coax him back into various nerdy card/figure based tabletops.

If your character is/was dead, he can likely tell.

If your character has a good sense of smell, Nico smells like rain on a stone (also described as like death, but it’s meant in a cold/barren way and not like rot.)

If your character is something that can be interpreted as a monster, they can probably smell him a mile away and he likely smells more delicious than standard mortals.

Who wants to adopt a tiny necromancer?

And help with coming up ways to become a viral cat meme on this world's internet because it's one amusing way to take over the world.

Steeeeph.

Sadly I can’t keep the TDM because Tim’s actually been getting tortured / recuperating this month. There’s no way he’d be out at the mall.

But I’m so glad you’re here!!

Mayuko Shiraki | Fruits Basket (CRAU)

[personal profile] welcome_summer 2022-07-27 11:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Player Name & Pronouns: ReneeTwist, she/her
Preferred Communication: [plurk.com profile] librarydragons

Character Name & Journal: Mayuko Shiraki, [personal profile] welcome_summer
Guild Affiliation: Alliance-leaning, but if she detects any really bad pings, she might stay unaligned.

Character Motivations & IC/OOC Goals:Mayuko is coming out of five years in zombie summer camp; the plus side is that she won’t be stuck in one location anymore, and that she is accustomed to really strange things happening on the regular. On the other hand, she’s a civilian trying out permanent superpowers, how scary/cool is that? Her main priority is going to be learning about this version of Earth, what makes it different from hers. In particular, the guild system is of interest; how they’re managing the influx of metas (or not) and how much influence they have. (ALSO the Sunset Falls Public Library has a tentacle monster AND living books? Mayuko finding out about it will be DELIGHTED.)

Plus she’ll be wanting to sort out her financial situation because
Well
look at this face. This is (a representation of) Jun, Mayuko’s puppy that she adopted while in Camp. Jun desires treats, stuffed animals to tear up and LOTS OF BOTH. And they don’t fall from the sky, so better make that cheddar! (People, well, I guess that’s another story.)

I am interested in the possible connections she’ll make--she’s slow to make friends but once someone is in, she’ll be equal parts supportive and protective. She wants to be a dependable member of her “community”: guildwise, citywise, or just in her circle of friends.

Plot/CR Hooks:
*Mayuko's skillset is partially information-based: she can read almost any text from Earth (with caveats of course) and she can mentally index and replicate what she's read for a set amount of time. Plus her offensive/defensive powers are dependent on her own energy.... So she is less a frontliner than a sneaky ninjaspy type, at least to start. That might come in handy for some missions?

*She will gladly Responsible Adult at the young'uns, and will be slightly more chill around other adults (with the occasional dramatic tsundere outburst once she gets more comfortable). She's an odd blend of normalcy matched with some weird and frightening past experiences! Talk books with her, or help her figure things out about the world/ her powers, gain social link points!

*there was a third point but I closed the tab before I saved the comment, cry.

look steph is surrounded by super geniuses most of the time. maybe it'll be nice to hang out with a dummy

and yeah that could be fun!!! steph isn't very good at the secret identity thing but she could probably give a couple pointers
eggplanting: (46 - DRtuIfK)

[personal profile] eggplanting 2022-07-27 11:44 pm (UTC)(link)
oh my god timothy

dana did actually mention a robin being tortured in the thread with steph, so if you wanted to do something with steph trying to track tim down to check on him that could be a good way to toss 'em together
mostdangerousbird: (074 something soft and really quite dumb)

[personal profile] mostdangerousbird 2022-07-27 11:49 pm (UTC)(link)
These thing happen, right?

Joker actually live-streamed it and you can still find video online. If you want her to seek him out, that works. If you want her to crash in all where’s Robin on OurPowers, also cool. Otherwise I’ll look for the first chance for him to find her.

eggplanting: (36 - E75SdE1)

[personal profile] eggplanting 2022-07-28 12:02 am (UTC)(link)
i mean......... yeah

well that's going to horrify steph!!! i just did a quick of the network and it looks like he's got an account as tim on ourpowers which would probably be where she'd check first so i figure it makes decent sense for her to track him down that way. so i'll hit up his inbox if that's cool with you?
mostdangerousbird: (054)

[personal profile] mostdangerousbird 2022-07-28 12:05 am (UTC)(link)
Works for me. He’s trying to keep things separate so he’s barely touched OurPowers as Robin and usually goes anon if he doesn’t want to say it as Tim.

Inbox is all yours.
