CR Meme #2

[futurologists]

Welcome to the second CR Meme of Futurology S2! Have fun and be good to each other.



MISSION: DRAKSTADEN PLOTTING

After Mission: Azeria (the test drive meme), characters will have spent a week on Headquarters before receiving the dossier for Mission: Drakstaden. They will have another week to prepare, after which they will be rifted to another universe.

Mission breakdown:

• The first log will go up on 15 April.
  
• The mission is tentatively scheduled to last until mid-June, but this may change depending on character action.
  
• The Bounty Board will be updated once the mission begins.
  
• There will be a locations page up by 15 April.
  
• View the dossier for all ICly-known information about what to expect.
  
• Characters are encouraged to blend in, and will be outfitted with appropriate clothing before their arrival. For characters who cannot pass as human, they will be provided with cloaking devices that will allow all non-Hathaway personnel to view them as natives.
  
• You can ask questions about the mission on the dossier, or ask game-related questions on the FAQ.

PLAYER INFORMATION

▸ NAME: Glass
▸ CONTACT: ohmygodbees
▸ TAGGING HABITS: EST! I tag back sporadically throughout the day, try to get everything once a day but I've slowed down a little for thesis writing.
▸ INTERESTS: biology (do you like fish? I am up to my eyeballs in fish rn), comics (Marvel), video games (Overwatch, Borderlands), cats, adorable animals, weird science things...Dunkin Donuts?

CHARACTER INFORMATION

▸ NAME: Scott Summers
▸ CANON: Marvel Comics
▸ SPECIALIZATION: Negotiator
▸ FILE: bam

▸ PERSONALITY: Heroic, idealistic, well-meaning nerd who can't openly emote worth a damn (but he's trying!) and thus spends all his time outside of combat being socially awkward. Gooey emotional center deep at the bottom of the Mariana Trench of Emotional Repression. Stiff and can come off as self-righteous and bossy but he's collected under pressure and good at gitting shit done. Also, he's bb!Scott from the past, dragged to the future, because X-Men comics, and he's got a lot of unresolved baggage re: his future self and what happened to his life.
▸ DESIRED CR:
- more friends who are significantly more outgoing, social and optmistic than he is (it's a low bar)
- mentor figures- preferably healthy
- antagonistic— somehow he's managed not to butt heads with anyone yet over strategy and self-righteousness-off or whatnot
- people with powers
- people with powers + a healthy relationship with their powers
- anybody who needs a slightly overprotective big-brother kind of friend or a stable/chill presence under pressure
▸ OFFERED CR:
- do you need somebody with a stick up their butt to counter your hothead? I got you, fam
- somebody who's cool under fire and good at coaching people through life/death situations or learning the ropes of their powers
- total nerd friend? (see Anything Else?)
- somebody blunt and not afraid to get harsh and critical
- sweet, incredibly destructive superpowers
- somebody good at plans and tactics and making sure they get executed
- can I interest you in batshit comic book world-building? this is the X-Men
- time-travel angst
- "chains of commanding" angst
- existential drama about the capacity of people to change and the weight of destiny etc
▸ PLANS: Not to knock all his friends who think that punching everything into submission is the height of problem solving (IT ISN'T!), but— Scott's plan is to target the flow of information/propaganda/surveillance, under the logic that whoever's running that must have all the dirty details that could be used to topple a corrupt government. Second part of this plan is to identify any non-corrupt officials remaining within the system and how they can get the right amount of information out into the world and get the right people to start moving levers on their own. No you cannot just execute everyone and what is the point of beating them up if you can't guarantee they won't just walk later.

Also at some point Scott and Rey are going to start a hockey team.

▸ ANYTHING ELSE?

[predomination]

I HAVEN'T THREADED WITH HIM YET, but I love him and would love to do some stuff with him.

He has powers and he's a mentor figure! ... not exactly a healthy mentor, but, hey, Rey swears by him. Kinda.

[evenslimmer]

I mean he's not really worse than Xavier...on the healthy/shady dichotomy. (Or Magneto). WE CAN TOTALLY DO THIS. Plus Scott tries to go for guile before punching, and he can totally handle the "succeed or perish" mentoring style. He could use a harsh chessmaster teacher.

[predomination]

"Succeed or perish" is the best description of Urahara's teaching style. And he's been teaching Rey to rely more on her cunning instead of her... bruiser-ing SO THIS COULD BE VERY ADVANTAGEOUS. /steeples.

[evenslimmer]

Yeah when you're a walking WMD you try to rely on things besides blasting the shit out of everything in sight. Kind of a move you can't take back.

[predomination]

As the friendly neighborhood nuclear warhead of bleach....

He understands, Scott.

He understands.

[spiritgun]

antagonistic cr u say

[evenslimmer]

I mean I think we both know they're not getting out of that elevator without bloody noses and a lot of shouting, so why not just keep that ball rolling

[spiritgun]

yes i'm ready to ruin scott's getting long streak

hope scott's ready for yusuke to butt into his life at every moment to argue with him going forward

[evenslimmer]

Yusuke just pops out of the bushes in the middle of random conversations with "SCOTT'S WRONG AND THIS IS WHY" Where did he come from?? how long has he been there??? Who knows. Very shounen though.

[healstaffs]

i still haven't gotten to tag scott and this saddens me deeply

lissa is still kind of a baby (thanks fire emblem) but she is at least very outgoing and friendly, so if scott ever needs someone to hassle him or just generally talk at him, she is here to chatter his ears off. also she's lucina's aunt despite being younger, that's not weird at all right

also i think scott's more realistic viewpoint on the world would probably be good for her since she tends to be a little too optimistic at points.

[evenslimmer]

I think first mission got away from a lot of people. There was definitely a month where I was not good at getting out there and I didn't catch everyone from first CR meme b/c I was just trying to figure out how the game worked.

But look, Scott's met his own children, including his daughter, who is now like a decade older than him but still calls him "Dad". Lucina's aunt being younger than her is so not even going to register. And her following him around chattering at him would probably be soothing for Scott, I think he can handle it even if half the time he'll have to figure out what the hell to say. And a little optimism would be good for him! Scott's idealistic but he tends to be pessimistic about outcomes and secretly suspect that everything will go to shit

[healstaffs]

Aw Scott

But excellent, I'm excited to hassle him (hopefully) soon, once I tame my disaster of an inbox. Would you be okay if I added you on plurk in the meantime?

[evenslimmer]

Go for it! That's what it's there for

[deemed]

look, fighting the people is the best answer to this and odinson will not listen to your objections

[evenslimmer]

This automatic default to punching as a solution to everything is why no one likes the Avengers

[deemed]

everyone likes the avengers and they don't always punch everything.







Sometimes they shoot things too

[evenslimmer]

Logan was an Avenger so I guess they also stab things too



Anyway no wanton killing. No killing at all if they can help it, in Scott's opinion. (Scott's opinion is also that they can probably help it)

[wolfchild]

sign me up for slightly over protective big brother types

[evenslimmer]

OMG I want this so bad, this seems fucking excellent? And I was kicking myself for not having a good idea for how to tag your post too. We can totally make this happen.

Plus she might end up reminding him of his One True Wolverine, the ever-excellent Laura Kinney.

[wolfchild]

LAURAAAAA I shudder to imagine futuro if arya and laura ever met (anyone reading, please app laura kinney, thank you)

we can definitely do something for the next log! I doubt I'll be top-leveling, but I'll keep an eye out for you or we can do a closed starter whichever works for you :>

[evenslimmer]

Laura + Arya team-up should leave everyone quaking in their boots

I usually top-level and I was planning on it for this log. If whatever I end up tossing up doesn't work just hit me up on plurk and I can churn out something else or we can suss out a closed starter.

[rhinostagros]

Hi there! So Jason's player let me know that the three of them are rooming together?? Let me know if that changed or not! Just wondering if you'd like to do a thread or something so Laphicet can properly meet his friend's friend.

[evenslimmer]

Absolutely! I can hit your top level if you want, I was thinking about doing another late round of tag-ins tonight.

[rhinostagros]

Sure that's fine by me! If none of those open prompts I set up don't work out for you, let me know and I can try to think of something else/or tag into one of yours if that's better.
