AUGUST OOC WELCOME & 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 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.

Your characters are arriving in the middle of our fourth wall event, Crisis On Infinite Dreamwidths. Why they're staying behind will be explained in our final log.

FOLLOW THE YELLOWBRICK ROAD - ???

The sky has cracked open, the world has shifted on its axis and here you are in the middle of the greatest crisis this world has known.

You arrive more or less as the unmoored have done. Thrown into this world with little to do but adapt, take stock and wait for the worlds Heroes to fix things. While people move from dimension to dimension, you always end up back here, like a tether pulling you home. It doesn't make much sense, because you weren't here before, but what does make sense in the midst of all this chaos?

What matters is maybe there's something comforting in that pull, that warm drag back here. Home is where you make it, after all.

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.

Player Name & Pronouns: Brandi (she/her)
Preferred Communication: you can find me on plurk at funshine

Character Name & Journal: Chrissy Cunningham (cheerleader)
Guild Affiliation: Currently unaligned. Chrissy's in a pretty fragile place right now and may be easily talked into joining something, but at first she's just going to be taking it easy.
Character Motivations & IC/OOC Goals: Chrissy wants friends. She's desperate for any kind of connection she can make with others, especially ones who don't mind that she's currently struggling after coming back from being dead and is a little skittish.
Plot/CR Hooks: Chrissy's technically been around for about six months. I had her show up during a previous Confluence, a crumpled and dead mess straight out of canon. She was revived and has been in the hospital for a long time; and after being released she was given a crash course in modern everything by Steve, Eddie, and Billy. I'm sure given the state her body was in, there might have been some kind of pictures taken and posted to corners of the internet. So feel free to have had your character see that if they're the type to visit weird websites.

After being introduced to social media, she's taken off on things like tiktok and instagram, and is vibing by getting some sponsorship deals out of it. Very easy to have seen her on one of those!

She's pretty focused on trying to discover what her superpowers are, so she can be seen around...doing that. Mentors and people who like to laugh at struggling heroes in training are welcome to come help her out. One of her powers is dream walking, which I plan on doing some logs with, so hmu if you'd be interested in doing some dream nonsense.

Otherwise, she offers sunshine CR even when she's going through a really hard time. She's endlessly patient and very kind, and will seriously find a good side to anyone. So bring me your sad and your grouchy and your sinister.

I have an unlikely friendship idea for you: Nico di Angelo. He’s 15, so like there’s a bit of an age gap which can make it difficult built like, consider the following reasons why they could understand each other while mostly never talking about any of it:

1. Nico is dating a ball of sunshine that also glows, so he definitely likes that overall personality. This is the main reason; he’ll brood in a dark room listening to Metallica all night and sleep all day if I don’t load him down with friends.
2. Has broken his sister Hazel out from the underworld who was murdered by a dark mythological being.
3. Is also time displaced.
4. Has a lot of control over his own dreams/some dream walking abilities.
5. Has some issues with food.

In short, he’d be surprisingly friendly with her and definitely protective of her if he got to know here.

Ahhh she would def be drawn to trying to keep him from brooding, and the age difference isn't so extreme that she wouldn't want to be friends with him! She'd def big sister him a lot and be protective in return, so I think they'd have a cute friendship!

I want to throw Ciri at all the others teens, and what little I know about Chrissy via osmosis, I think they’d get along!

[cheerleader]

Chrissy gets along with basically everyone, and I'd love for her to have some non castmate friends so let's figure out a way to get them interacting!

[anewtruth]

Perfect :3 If any of it strikes you, I did put her over here for memshare shenanigans! Otherwise, I'm sure we can find things somewhere else
