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!

Yondu

[personal profile] yondu 2022-05-02 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
Character Name: Yondu Udonta (CRAU)

Character Questions:
Tell us about your character?: Yondu Udonta is a former Kree Battle slave who was recruited into the space biker pirate lifestyle as soon as he was freed. He fucked up that happy life though and his clan was rejected.

After having been on the VT Express he rebuilt a found family and a new 'team', but has unfortunately lost most of them again. This has put him back in a grumpier place.

Do you need help having your character arrive?: N/A
What has your character been up to on-screen?: N/A
What has your character been up to off-screen?: He showed up in the library after getting booted out of the universe yet again. He's been doing missions for the library, but also has a minor side-hustle of procuring booze during those missions.
What plans or ambitions does your character have?: Right now he wants to earn money and form a new Ravager clan in a whole other universe. Step one is buying a ship. Step two is picking the universe. Right now he has no intention to form those longstanding bonds again because he thinks he'll lose them. (Plus, there are less kids around so he has no reason to not be mostly business).

I type this knowing he has every intention to find an excuse to go on a rescue mission for his old pal V. He's found the perfect way to convince people that V alive will be a greater benefit to the universe as a whole than V dead (mostly using his success record with the one VT mission he worked with V on, and his plans to help him develop medical technology).
Does your character need help with their plans (or need them thwarted after a point)?: Help him out with his rescue mission. It's in the Cyberpunk universe which I know very little about but Coop is a champion and is helping me out. He'll want to recruit a cybernetically/technologically inclined team to help him. I'd also kind of like people to drop hints they'd seen his friends around in some conversations with him. Like if someone saw Kyoko or someone.

He should also reconnect with Selenay! I love their odd little bromance XD

And he might be able to convince Tannis to help with the V mission if you'd like! If boring else she could fry a whole bunch of tech XD

I am sure that Tannis would absolutely love having to work with Jack on something. Hopefully he could convince her on comedy points alone.

He'd be so happy to see her. Especially since he would have been pretending to be a tough guy again.

We kinda talked about this in dms already but I dig Yondu coming to ask Alena for help and her just being kinda :/ then Jack dragging her along anyway lmfao. Super look forward to the conversation they're gonna have over saving some Night City streetkid.

Alena's basically a cross between a nomad and a tech so she's more of a hardware person than a software person but either way she's tough as fucking nails and won't hesitate to pull the trigger if needed.

Absolutely scooping Alena.

what? You're so excited to be working with such a cool and handsome hero?

HJ certainly counts as cybernetic/techno savvy and won't actually need convincing to go rescue V. Also he's just happy to see his fellow blue person again!

I'm sad that I left VT because there were so many Chiss there, Jack? So many Chiss (two Chiss). If playing him that level of heartbroken with not outlet wouldn't have been so utterly depressing, I'd have been very tempted to stick around.

So at least he has one blue guy he can get to know here who isn't Kree.
gentle_jim: (over shoulder)

[personal profile] gentle_jim 2022-05-09 12:07 am (UTC)(link)
omg it figures... We could have had a whole blue man group. Sadness. I don't blame you at all for calling it quits.

Probably the worst one that could still be here but its something!

Hank Anderson

[personal profile] burlydetective 2022-05-02 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
Character Name: Hank Anderson (AU)

Character Questions:
Tell us about your character?: This Hank is a modern-day Hank, not a future Hank. Vampires weren't well known, but he did know (under oath of secrecy) because he stumbled across conspiracies during his 'red ice' investigations for the Detroit PD. Red ice in this AU is basically meth made with vampire blood. They hadn't known at the time where the drug came from, but a monster-hunting organization clued him in.

His son Cole was injured in a car accident and taken to the hospital. The Doctor, having taken too much red iceended up killing him on the operating table. This caused Hank to downwardly spiral. When the monster hunters asked him if he'd willingly become a monster to help them hunt other monsters? He was down. Even after they informed him when he experienced "soul rot" they would have to kill him, he agreed.
soul rot
(n) what happens when a monster starts engaging in more instinctual and predatory behaviors than rational ones. being less human and more monster-like.

Eventually, they partnered him up with a specially trained young man forced to become a vampire, Connor, and he realized how much bullshit was going on behind the scenes.

Hank, as his particular type of 'Wallachian' wolf strain, can heal especially fast and is extremely "claw through a sturdy wooden door" strong. But he craves the bodies of the dead and requires a lot of meat to replenish his energy after he's had to heal from something serious or hold the werewolf form for a while. He's deathly weak to silver.

Do you need help having your character arrive?: Maybe? I'm willing to talk this one out. He's now more at ease with what he is and could be convinced to come along, especially if people come after holy relics unique to his world. In his universe, a collection is being kept by Dracula because Sun Wukong needed someone to watch the Sutra and, like he does with many demons, beat him into behaving himself. So given that there are holy relics there that the Library would be willing to watch over even more safely, it'd be easy to get someone to visit that universe for something if they were down.
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?: I don't have much of anything, he was just a whim.
Does your character need help with their plans (or need them thwarted after a point)?: Waiting to see how it goes.

Can he and Dom be friends again please

Absolutely. Especially since she needs someone to fill that fast healing void in her life without a Wade. That counts as a void, right?

It absolutely does count lolol

I suppose I could consider developing CR with you, I GUESSSSSS

...who am I kidding, Connor probably came here partly because of Hank

Retirement sounds fake. He wants to get out there and keep doing stuff. Maybe stop a few more secret nefarious organizations. Come on, Connor, it's a great idea.

[personal profile] notalive 2022-05-14 03:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Sounds pretty lit, tbh. Why stop at saving one world when they can go out and start saving the multiverse?

And travelling the world was pretty fun. Imagine going to other worlds. Good times to be had tbh.
