OOC Intro Mingle

[luminals]

Welcome to Knowhere, everyone! This post serves two purposes - to have everyone OOCly introduce themselves to everyone else and to start plotting for the game's opening event! You won't be getting a full in-depth explanation of the plot until opening day, but what's wrong with a little taste?

PLOTTING
What we can tell you is that our opening event will be a week long and during that time the network will not be available - an action based log will be up at game's opening for the length of the event. It's primarily a combat oriented event, so if you have a character who can't defend themselves it's a great time to find someone who can and become fast friends. Don't worry though, what spirals out of this will require sharp minds instead of sharp weapons.

NPCs will not be available for questioning during the event, but one or two will pop up afterwards to handle any major questions characters might have.

INTRODUCE YOURSELVES
Exactly what it says! Tell us a bit about yourselves, how to contact you, what you're interested in, who you play, and so on and so forth. Mingle and get to know each other, work out some ideas for CR, whatever!

Here's a handy textarea of stuff to copy and paste if you need a guide! All the things are optional and you don't even have to use what we've provided if you don't want to.
<b>NAME</b>: <br> <b>CHARACTER(S) PLAYED IN GAME:</b> <br> <b>CONTACT:</b> <br> <b>FANDOMS:</b> <br> <b>INTERESTS:</b> <br> <b>BRIEF SUMMARY OF CHARACTER(S):</b> <br> <b>PLOTTING:</b> <br> <b>ANYTHING ELSE:</b> <br>

Welcome and we hope you have fun!

HELLO FRIENDS my name is Carolyn and I am playing Namorita Prentiss, one of Marvel Comics' most criminally-underused Distaff Counterparts. She's Namor the Sub-Mariner's baby cousin, and like him, she's Atlantean royalty and can breathe water, fly, and drop kick a rhino over the Grand Canyon, but unlike him, she's friendly, laid-back, forgiving, and has never tried to invade New York. Also she was dead for a while but now she's back and It's Complicated even by comics standards, so if you're a canonmate and need the deets, hit me up, but the short version is that she's from 2011 but the last stuff she remembers happening is c. 1992.

My main fandom right now is comics, mostly Marvel 616, but I know my way around parts of DC and other publishers, and if it's sci-fi from before about 2000 (I'm old) I was probably in the fandom at least in passing for a while. Sometimes I go on bouts of being completely obsessed with Elder Scrolls. I also like cross stitch, tea, and math. Best way to reach me is on plurk at greenanddying or hitting up the contact post on this account.



THE CRABS ARE AROUSED

[knightoflight]

OOOOOH what sci fi from before 2000 in particular? (Also old)
Nice to meet you! :D

[littlecousin]

oh let's see...

Trek (TOS, TNG, & Garak basically), Star Wars, B5, SeaQuest (SHUT UP), any number of movies but especially Blade Runner/Alien(s) and Ghost in the Shell (plus the Applesed manga), the cyberpunk and New Wave movements, Golden Age SF (though that hasn't aged all that well, alas), old-school movie and newspaper serials (Flash Gordon!), the pulps (Doc Savage!), proto-SF like Verne, Wells, and Shelley...

Basically I like spaceships and cyborgs leavened with the occasional talking dolphin or experimental novel.

Hi. mO___Om

[walkingballpit]

Ew who invited you?

<3

I want all your plots.

[littlecousin]

rude

i don't give my plots to rude people

[walkingballpit]

ow

That hurts.

He's going to hang out with the giant space robots then.

[littlecousin]

yeah okay robbie that should last approximately 12 seconds

Though he and Hot Rod would probably hit it off. Rodders is basically robo-Johnny Storm.

[walkingballpit]

Hey! You could at least give him a full minute.

BRB going to comment to Hot Rod.

[littlecousin]

Right, so, how are they running into each other? Perhaps literally? Nita is very familiar with the feeling of Speedball ramming into her.

[walkingballpit]

Literally could work. Robbie's going to be in the Observation Deck fight because: innocent civilians. However you want her to find him works for me.

Personally, I am planning on having him finally use the name Faira. To the wrong girl.

[littlecousin]

Maybe in the random fights before then? (That would let us thread sooner which is my entire reason for proposing it.)

[walkingballpit]

That works too. (Eager much?)

She's going to be hard pressed if she wants to lose him after finding him though.

[littlecousin]

This is Nita we're talking about. What are the odds that she doesn't choose to go for civilians first, seriously?

[walkingballpit]

Slim to none. Let the robots handle the rock people.

[littlecousin]

They can mop up the rock people later. They have experience.

[herpetology]

Old school! I dig it!

Not sure how these two would come across or get along, but I'd love to play it out sometime.

[littlecousin]

She died in 2006, but the It's Complicated part skipped a bunch of her awful 90s canon, so overall it's a good thing.

I don't know much about PacRim 'cause the whole giant-robot thing isn't my jam, but Nita gets along with practically everyone. Even Dr. Doom is less of a dick to her than he is to everyone else.

[herpetology]

That's okay because I am so very clueless about comics for the same reason. That sounds great because Newt is a pretty social guy! He also wants to know a lot of things, so be prepared for so many questions.

[littlecousin]

Namor and Nita? Never shut up ever about being Atlantean. (Okay mostly Namor.) But Nita sure isn't shy about it and she will answer all of Newt's questions forever.

[herpetology]

Hello new best friends! Would you like to add each other on plurk for future plotting?

[littlecousin]

Sure! Just toss a friend request my way and I'll know to look for it. (Plurk doesn't like to show them to me for some reason.)

BTW, they have kaiju:





Fantastic Four #4, 1962: Namor has a bad day and attacks New York with a giant sperm whale with arms and legs. Its name is Giganto.
