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!

Hank Anderson

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.

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

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.

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.
