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!

Preferred Contact: coopyey#1337 or [plurk.com profile] coopyey

Player Questions:
Anything you are wanting to play in particular?: In general I just love found family and working through tough CR so that things get really soft and mushy later on. I love angst, I love hurt/comfort. Big fan of horror and sci-fi (esp if they're mixed together).
How can fellow players help or get involved?: Just love CR and riding the wave out.

Character Name: V

Character Questions:
Tell us about your character?: A Night City native, his poor man has had the worst luck since the day he was born. The ultimate tl;dr is that V's never had a relationship that's lasted because people either leave him or die. He does drugs and drinks to numb out the feelings and if he feels that relationships are getting too personal he will do everything in his power to destroy those relationships. In general he's easy enough to get along with and tends to keep things professional. It's clear he has a good heart and wants to do the right thing but he doesn't shy away from doing what needs to be done and destroying anything that gets in his way. He's not VT CRAU because I enjoy hurting.

Do you need help having your character arrive?: Yeah, we're having a rescue mission set up and everything.
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?: Not die in 6 months. :)
Does your character need help with their plans (or need them thwarted after a point)?: Probably will need help - he technically has the blueprints for the prototype biochip that fucked him over but he doesn't have the skillset to actually make it. He could probably work out the software bit with some help but manufacturing a biochip is not really something on this streetkid's list of skills.

> if he feels that relationships are getting too personal he will do everything in his power to destroy those relationships

Oh hey, he's a lot like Tannusen there, though Tannu's gotten marginally better at it.

It took V a full year in a relationship-centric game to get pushed to the point that he realized that pushing people away and trying to numb the feeling of hurt was a wasted effort :^)

He very much just writes himself and 99% of it is perpetuating his own personal misery

Angst is probably my favorite thing to write, and V is just so good at facilitating it.

Whatever your angst needs are I'm here to help :3c V will be too once he's in-game but we gettin' there. I love every opportunity to hurt my poor boy.

Character Name: Alena Seitz

Character Questions:
Tell us about your character?: Another Night City native who's a lot less likely to trust any of you lot than V. She's functionally a mute - her talking is weak and hurts a lot - so she speaks primarily through sign language or charades. Where V's my software + computer engineer, she's my electrical engineer + mechanic. She's pretty distrusting and generally crabby but if you can convince her that something is worth her time she's more than willing to play ball. She is not interested in making friends or even having contacts but she recognizes that she can't do everything solo and tbh she'll be helpful if she thinks it will benefit her in some way (able to get parts she wants, being paid well, etc). Worth of note: she hates dogs.

I personally don't wish to split hairs with different kinds of sign languages so can we just pretend it's universal and you can say yes/no if you know it lmfao She technically has her Agent on her so she can technically do TTS there as well.

Do you need help having your character arrive?: Nope.
What has your character been up to on screen?: Nada.
What has your character been up to off-screen?: She's been helping with salvage missions but only in such a way that she can get parts to build a car. She can say she's not a nomad all she wants but deep down she is.

What plans or ambitions does your character have?: Right now she's trying to build a car so that's exciting. It's fun to salvage parts from random places. After that.... Who knows! She'll find another project most likely.
Does your character need help with their plans (or need them thwarted after a point)?: She will want help just in terms of going to worlds and salvaging but does she need help with the actual build or whatever? Not really, and it will require some CR for her to consider working with you on something like that.

I'm still down for assumed CR so that Alena and Yondu can know the other is competent on some level.

I'll put up that set-up entry very soon, possibly tonight or tomorrow.
