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!

Player Questions:
Anything you are wanting to play in particular?: I crave family bonding and fun discoveries. He's willing to get involved in serious stuff too, for the greater good...but there's a certain wonder to the universe that's been missing from his life.
How can fellow players help or get involved?: Please talk to him. He'll try not to bite. If we find any games from other civilizations to play, even better.
Character Name: Seto Kaiba (Yu-Gi-Oh, void train CRAU)
Character Questions:
Tell us about your character?: Canon-wise, Kaiba is an obsessive competitive card game player and tech CEO who can't let things go when he feels slighted. Cares about nothing but his brother. Basically he's a cross between Elon Musk and Walt Disney...jerkwad businessman, soft spot for children and entertainer with a big theme park named after himself...but he actually knows his stuff tech-wise.
Over his CRAU, he softened his heart and opened up to others, bonding through playing games and building tech for a more noble goal...but as things grew more serious and he lost more and more people he was attached to, he grew bitter and hopeless. He's left his husband behind now, so it's about 100x worse.
Do you need help having your character arrive?: Not so much. He's decided the universe hates him, so...this is happening. It's fine. Not fine. He'll work on salvages and such, it's something to do until he figures out where to go.
What has your character been up to on screen?: N/a
What has your character been up to off-screen?: Offer his skillset (he's a skilled pilot, engineer, and mechanic) and work. Conditions aren't great, but it's all he's got.
What plans or ambitions does your character have?: ...I don't think building a time machine to travel back and fix the disaster state he left his home life in is happening any time soon, so...nothing, really. Work nonstop, try to keep emotions at bay.
Does your character need help with their plans (or need them thwarted after a point)?: He'll need to eventually get out of his own head and get his hope back...a few familiar faces passing by will remind him of who he used to be, thankfully. He's a lot worse at saying no to requests for help than he used to be, so...it shouldn't take too much doing to get him going.

Game related aside if you're interested in setting assumptions: As this is the Andromeda universe and Nietzscheans form a founding population, there are probably parts of the city that thrive off games. Warnings for 90s prime time level nsfw and video quality that only even aspires to be potato, but here is a Nietzschean character talking about competition.
The guy narrating in that clip was one of the founders, and even having gone through a redemption arc his brand of Nietzscheans will always value competition as an increasingly high standard to hold themselves to and strive for constant improvement. So depending on how much you want that kind of thing, Kaiba might end up with his competitive side riled up.

He'll be happy to see them again, at least. As happy as he gets these days. :P

With K it's really just like, you gotta push or you'll never get anywhere. People who are careful of his boundaries get blown off.
But! I will suddenly have other characters too! If he and K never manage to click.

And I'm open to trying stuff with anyone!

Eventually, I think Jack could seriously start to respect Kaiba? At least enough not to insult him too badly anymore. Y'know, cause of the whole CEO thing they have in common.
no subject
That sounds fine, thank you! A weird jerk rival might actually...re-motivate him into caring? Like staring into a twisted mirror, of sorts. I'd love to see them butt heads and where that might go.
