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.


GETTING TO KNOW YOU —

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?

If you're up for it, I would love to keep Cass & Nico's TDM thread as canon. His one-sided distrust/resentment is very funny to me.

Sure, she can be the one he meets in the water.
