Intro And Plotting

[specialcollections]

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!

QUESTIONS OF THE MODS

[specialcollections]

Bring up any questions, ideas, or advice here.

Winter

[yondu]

Player Name: Winter
Preferred Contact: Disc: winterferger#4935

Player Questions:
Anything you are wanting to play in particular?: I had more found family and interpersonal relationship stuff that I wanted to do with Yondu. I've also never played this version of Hank Anderson outside of his single PSL.
How can fellow players help or get involved?: Waiting to be seen.

Yondu

[yondu]

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.

Hank Anderson

[burlydetective]

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.

Re: Yondu

[herarrows]

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

Re: Hank Anderson

[notverycinematic]

Can he and Dom be friends again please

Re: Yondu

[yondu]

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.

Re: Hank Anderson

[burlydetective]

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

Beth/Scatter

[notverycinematic]

Player Name: Beth
Preferred Contact: scattershot
Discord: Scattershine#5868

Player Questions:
Anything you are wanting to play in particular?: Wanting sorry to get Dom involved in shenanigans, but definitely excited to get some closure with the other two!
How can fellow players help or get involved?: Always looking for CR! Reach out if you have ideas or just want to interact!

[quietisviolent]

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.

[notverycinematic]

Tell us about your character?: A very lucky lady from the movie version of that one really annoying guy's comic. She is very nice, come say hi! Don't play poker with her

Do you need help having your character arrive?: I think I'm good, but if you want something in particular, feel free to ask!
What has your character been up to on screen?: N/A
What has your character been up to off-screen?: Mostly getting set up, looking for shenanigans, winning at poker, all that nonsense.

What plans or ambitions does your character have?: Make friends, find shenanigans, maybe lend her luck to a mission, but she's more the laid back type who just goes with the flow
Does your character need help with their plans (or need them thwarted after a point)?: Some people to talk with and make friends would be nice!

What has your character been up to on screen?: N/A

[sirentologist]

[blue_ice]

Player Name: Zoki
Preferred Contact: zokiblu #5949 or journal PM

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.

[yondu]

Yondu might have a deeper conversation with him over stuff. (I am planning on putting up a post soon anyway). Eventually I'm planning on doing Entrapta too.

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.

Coop

[bodyoftheseus]

Player Name: Coop
Preferred Contact: coopyey#1337 or 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.

[bodyoftheseus]

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.

[quietisviolent]

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.

[blue_ice]

Sounds like his kind of people. A hobby will definitely help.

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

Squid

[feckinboomstick]

Player Name: Squid
Preferred Contact: discord @ squid#1137

Player Questions:
Anything you are wanting to play in particular?: Love found family shit, always a fan of nonsense and shenanigans as well. Most of my characters are spiky and standoffish with a squishy little center so I like being able to indulge in some tsundere bullshittery as well.
How can fellow players help or get involved?: Just CR in general really! I'm slow as hell, so please bear with me.

[feckinboomstick]

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.

[sarcastass]

Character Name: Szelhamos

Character Questions:
Tell us about your character?:
Fallen seraph, now a demon. His blood is made of drugs, breath is made of drugs, everything is drugs, it's super healthy. A catty, seemingly self centered drama queen who definitely has only the highest opinion of himself and definitely doesn't like anyone and definitely does not want or need friends because he is Not Nice. The actual worst. Definitely.

Just kidding, he's a mess with a lot of self-confidence issues aggressively masked behind overblown self-aggrandizement. He frequently tells on himself in every way possible and desperately craves validation. He's also the kind of person who would drink three thousand dollar vintage merlot out of a golden girl's mug he bought from a thrift store.
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?: Currently he'd tell you he has no plans to do anything and aspires to take a three billion year-long nap. In reality he's kind of floundering and looking for a purpose so that would probably be it.
Does your character need help with their plans (or need them thwarted after a point)?: Absolutely, whether he'll admit he needs the help or not.

[its_dad_sanzo]

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

And Szel.
