Intro And Plotting

INTRO POST




!
Welcome to Alexandria...

Thanks for coming to this little hole in the wall sandbox! Everything you might need to know is here but we'll add a comment below if any other questions come up!

This is a very make your own story sandbox. While there might be some gamewide plots eventually, they'll happen in such a way that the most hyper responsible character isn't gifted with plausible deniability. Think of it this way. Think what if Batman had to deal with the Joker while the Justice League was dealing with an invasion of aliens before they reached Earth. Batman won't have to worry about those aliens in this case because Wonder Woman and Superman got this and he's got his own troubles right now.

It's okay if your character is doing their own thing, because the Library has people who have got this. But that doesn't mean they won't turn down the help when those situations arise, especially if those situations are threats from your home universe.

To help out, we're including a helpful plotting form below. If you haven't yet, please join here under the cast list so people will have access to your info card. Happy playing and plotting!

Character Name: Cassian Lynch

Character Questions:
Tell us about your character?: A grumpy little former immortal man, and an Irish Catholic priest with messy connections to witch craft and necromancy. Up until recently had been acting as a host to Hastur, the King in Yellow. Is now just your average cranky Irish Catholic priest with messy connections to witch craft and necromancy. Apparently not a very good priest because he got married to a fairy in this CRAU.

Do you need help having your character arrive?: Nope!
What has your character been up to on screen?: n/a
What has your character been up to off-screen?: n/a

What plans or ambitions does your character have?: He aspires to be extremely boring and sleep in on the weekend and watch documentaries on a rainy day and read a ton of books and have a rose garden and die in his sleep of natural causes.

Barring that, maybe get blown up in a freak explosive rune accident and leave a giant hole in the street to inconvenience the tourists.

Does your character need help with their plans (or need them thwarted after a point)?: Thwart all of them, strongarm this man into engaging in the extraordinary, he'll only fuss a little.

He married Tannusen; a boring, peaceful life isn't in store for him and he has no one to blame but himself.

And Szel.

He knows what he signed up for but this asked for aspirations not promises. Just roleplay being a 1950s housewife for a day, Tannusen.
its_dad_sanzo: (what?)

He still has that apron...

He's not saying don't do it. No one said 'don't do the thing, Tannusen'

Tannu hasn't yet realized that's a Thing for Cass

when he does, Cass is doomed

A conversation with Hank would be fun 'cause in his AU universe the Eldritch gods are like fangirls that break the laws of fate. "Fuck Canon."

Yondu is normally good for found familying but considering so many of us have yanked our characters out of their happy healthy environment he might take a little work.

That would actually be a super interesting convo, especially since Cassian wouldn't have even been picked as a host if he himself was meant to still be alive at the time. "Fuck Canon" indeed.

Cass is a pretty 'let it be' kind of guy, he doesn't actively seek out the found family dynamic but he does lend himself to it fairly well. He's gruff and dry, but genuinely caring and helpful and even though he'll make a lot of talk about how "X isn't my problem", he will go out of his way to help people. So there would never be much pressure to bond, but the opportunity and easy ability to do so would be there.

At least in his AU they don't pick hosts (they pick avatars they make immortal and then break the threads of fate on them so they'll go break the story in prophecies and whatnot).

Hank's very much a helper even if he's also a bitcher. So he's ready to step up when he needs to. Yondu's the one that needs an excuse, that excuse being usually 'well this person I approve of wants to help and I want to help them'.

Necromancy you say???
feckinboomstick: (Default)

[personal profile] feckinboomstick 2022-05-08 05:28 am (UTC)(link)
Necromancy, channeling, spooky scary skeletons the whole nine yards! He's actually got a (slightly outdated) abilities list here!

Hm, doesn't sound too fresh. Also thank goodness his excorcisims seem to only be for spirits.

Wait, ghosts in the machine don't count, do they?
