Intro +1 lion

[orions_shadow]

So here's this kid, a 13 year old lion boy from Primal Earth, the world of the MMO City of Heroes. I'm going to leave his details for reveal in game but I gotta say this game has a lot of potential for interesting plots using COH lore.

For instance having an invasion of the body snatchers plot involving Automaton duplicates, Alien invasion by the Rikti, an eldrich abomination, in SFC and people helping Shadow out with issues in his own world. There's a ton of material to use, and definite potential for people to receive super powers if they wanted to in virtually any means or origin they want. Just have to come up with a plot or means to do it.

Shad's storyline however focuses mostly on a branch of the Big Bad Organization Arachos and their evil version of Xaviers School for gifted monsters and lunatics. Needless to say Shad isn't exactly keen on going back there again but it could happen.

Meanwhile there's just as much possibility in his verse as there is in the SFC as far as I can tell so if you wanna do something crazy and superhero related, or just hang out at the Ski Chalet in Pocket D, send a tell plot with me.

Quickstart Guide!

[calling_mods]

Hey folks!

So I took a look at the acceptance message and I realized there are a LOT of reference materials for this game... and that's great! But also DAUNTING. So, in the spirit of smoothing the way a little for new folks (and old!), I have made up this handy dandy Quickstart Guide which has condensed version of most of the FAQ materials for people who want to hit the ground running.

Hope that helps! And let me know if there's something in there you think needs to be added in!

+1 previously mentioned shitlord

[malignans]

hello everyone! my name is crystal and i'm bringing that shitlord that anne (the giorno giovanna player) mentioned!



this here is dio brando of jojo's bizarre adventure fame and who is literally the reason why anything happens, including the reboot of the universe that allows parts 7 and 8 to exist! if you're not familiar with him, the short version of his absurdly long history is: he was born in the victorian era, killed his dad, tried to kill his adoptive family, became a vampire, became a disembodied head, stole his adoptive brother's body, napped at the bottom of the ocean for 100 years, surfaced in the 1980s, made a few babies without realizing it, seduced a priest, had questionable hiring practices by employing an orangutan, a baby, and a bird as assassins, and tried to kill some more joestars because what is letting things go?

he's coming from the end of stardust crusaders (part 3), which continued to follow the pattern of "it doesn't end well for dio."

he got punched to death. just one punch, but it was to death.

in addition to being a vampire, dio has a stand (sorta like a persona if you're familiar) known as the world or za warudo if you're up on your memes, which lets him stop time for 9 seconds and punch/kick things even harder than he already can. which he can already do it pretty hard since he's also got some vampire abilities such as (and i'm not making this up) space ripper stingy eyes. yeah. idk. you can read up more here or follow links in his app to wikis.

i will warn that dio's got some potentially triggering material that may come up, so i suggest heading on over to his permissions post if you need to opt out of anything, including playing with him altogether.

less seriously than all of this, dio's known to be a total hottie and even the protags describe him as such. he enjoys wine and laying around in bed half-naked reading books when he's not busy seducing priests and making friends by invading their personal space to whisper sweet nothings into their ears. he's also a fashion disaster. he also technically has a law degree.

and boy is he going to be surprised to find out he's a father! time to make up for not embarrassing his son at all for the past sixteen years!!

anyway, you can find me over at plurk (thesubrosa) or you can pm dio's journal for chatting or plotting purposes. i am excited to be here!
