THORVENGERS ASSEMBLE!!!!!!!!!

Hey everybody!

How're you all doing? Good? Good!

Okay so, just to make sure we're all on the same page, here's a quick recap of the latest plot. This includes information that, as of this writing is NOT available to any of the characters. I'll be sure to differentiate so we know what's what!


- Loki is a poop and destroyed about two blocks worth of lower-income, not-quite-slummy area.
- While it looked like a temper tantrum thrown by Daddy's Second Favorite, it actually served a legit purpose! You see, Team Sabotage wound up winning the 'The General' story arc, and therefore broke him out of Normal!Police prison. Noiz, a newcomer to the plot, worked on the actual break out, while Jim Moriarty worked as an escort. <-- NOT KNOWN JUST YET
- The General is no longer on the ship-- this is going to leak sometime soon. Hopefully. Gotta work out a couple of details there.
- There were NO casualties NPC or PC; Also, PC housing wasn't affected.
- Why did they do this? Shits and giggles, mostly.


Now that we have that out of the way (any questions, and I'll be happy to answer them!) there is a nice little proposition that's come out of this that, while not initially intended, worked out REALLY nicely!

So, who here knows about The Avengers? You know, that movie that's not very well known and may have attracted some mainstream attention over the past couple of weeks. It's based on this comic book that nobody really cares about. It's okay if you don't, it's not that big of a deal.

Well, after this latest plot, a very nice point was brought up: The Thor is going to need a group of Good Guys to keep the Purists and crazies at bay. With the way things have been going thus far, everyone has been too splintered and relatively ineffective against the real threat. And seeing how well the Avengers, Normandy Crew, and a few other people worked together against Loki, there's going to be a meeting with everyone. Eventually, our goal is to ICly have an even bigger team opened up to other players/characters.

Now what does this mean for us?

Obviously, it wouldn't be fair to push anybody into doing something they don't want to, ICly or OOCly, so this is going to be a plot post to go over a few different things, since the first meeting will understandably handwaved. Once we hammer out those details, I'll make a recap post so we're all on the same page again.

What the meeting will be about (In a handy list format!):

- Risk assessment of the Thor. Does it need a team of Do-Gooders to keep it safe? (The answer is 'YES' if it weren't obvious)
- Who wants to be involved in the actual team. Everyone who's been propositioned will have time to think about it before another huge get together to give their answers.
- Whether or not to let other people know/open the doors for newcomers who want to play hero. (This will eventually happen, and the ooc stuff will be taken care of by Xy/[personal profile] lightnings's player)
- Anything else you think should be brought up? Let it be known in the comments!


We also want to confirm:

- Who actually wants a part in the Thorvengers (TITLE PENDING). If you feel your character wouldn't be a part of the group, whether or not they're a part of the Normandy Crew, or if YOU don't want to be involved as a player, it is PERFECTLY ALL RIGHT to say no!
- Who would react to whom, and how-- we unfortunately don't really have the time/means to coordinate a logged meeting with so many people, so handwaving things would probably be the best.
- Anything your character can bring to the table. For example, Garrus will probably bring up previous attempts to get people together for anti-Purist talks and also his vigilante work down in the slums. This is a great time for any and all characters to bring information to the table!
- Again, anything else you can think of!


I believe that's it! The floor is open to everyone. If you know of anybody who was involved in the plot who'd like to get in on this discussion, please, feel free to spread this post around! It's a public comm for a reason! IN OTHER WORDS, PEOPLE NOT IN THE ME CAST, GET YOUR BUTTS IN HERE, TOO!

:D Any questions, concerns, etc. as always are welcome! Additionally, if I forgot something, or if I got some information wrong, PLEASE CORRECT ME!

And there is always the "rogue splinter group" way of doing things. IE the black ops type group that doesn't mind doing the really dirty things as long as it's for a good cause in the long run, but if they're ever caught, the main Thorvengers group will, to steal from Mission Impossible here, disavow any knowledge of their actions. No paper trails that can be traced back to the main group, stuff like this. I can see renegade Sheploo volunteering for this, probably someone like Thane too, etc etc.

Oh right I guess I should go over what everyone brings to the table and whatnot.

Minato has his Personae, which can make him immune to all sorts of things. He's a perfect tank. Plus he can do espionage, being generally charismatic and good at putting on facades. Also good with changing tactics on the battlefield to keep people guessing. He's a Fool like that, generally suited to whatever the hell you want him to do.

Tali should be obvious. Repair and hacking skills good enough to take over sentient, networked AI, and a good support in combat, making short work of anything electronic, and whatever's not electronic will get a face full of buckshot.

Meanwhile Celestia's a goddamn goddess-queen. Several thousand years of leadership experience, can make those harsh decisions, knows how to rally those under her command, and magic that could probably take out a small army if she so wanted. She prefers to stay back and let others do the dirty work, though, going for a support role instead. Barriers and emergency teleportation and whatnot.

Maybe Mordin too because lol STG and that sounds like the kind of thing he'd be used to. He can do his sneaky salarian shit from his HOME BASE aka clinic. Now that Mordin has John working there full time he's be more available for MISSION STUFF should the need arise.
neuterskrogan: (should paint walls soon)

[personal profile] neuterskrogan 2012-06-06 08:31 pm (UTC)(link)
I KIND OF LIKE WARD ooooo

[personal profile] fightforthelost 2012-06-06 08:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Awwwwyeh, that's what I'm talking about you sneaky little salarian motherfucker. STG definitely makes Mordin qualified. I've been reading shit in the codex and the ME wiki about N7 and just exactly all the crazy shit they train for and how it sounds real black ops style which is why I mentioned this.
spacecancer: (yeah don't help him or anything)

[personal profile] spacecancer 2012-06-06 08:46 pm (UTC)(link)
A black ops team sounds badass as fuck ngl

[personal profile] fightforthelost 2012-06-06 08:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah man. I see them as sort of being the group that the others have to turn to when something calls for a more morally grey type of view -- working the criminal underworld, building contacts, things that would leave a bad taste in the mouth of most of the others. I mean, most of these other characters have some pretty strong views on justice and what's right (they're the goddamn Avengers), so there are going to be situations that they will be vehemently against.

Then you have like the secret black ops group that doesn't mind if they have to break into a purist-owned business to steal something or wreck shit up, break some of the Thor's laws, etc. It's like in The Dark Knight when Batman went over to Japan or wherever and grabbed that dude and brought him back to Gotham. The Gotham PD couldn't do that because of international laws of extradition and shit.

/rambles forever

......I want this to be a thing. Thane's canonically commented on how the law doesn't protect people who don't obey them and he's all about making shady contacts. So let's get a renegade asskicking squad together and hide behind the good guys y/fy?

ALSO this is basically the entire premise of X-Force so we'd be staying true to comic shit too awwww yeah

[personal profile] fightforthelost 2012-06-06 10:53 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm all for it. And since we've got Aria in-game too, I know that could work for us. I'll talk to Chii because we've got a Sheploo/Aria log planned here soon.

Badass bros to the end. We just need to get a recon hood for Mordin and some matching leather jackets.
neuterskrogan: (Science complete)

[personal profile] neuterskrogan 2012-06-06 11:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Are you sure you want to see a salarian in a recon hood

remember how stupid looking their helmets are

[personal profile] fightforthelost 2012-06-06 11:32 pm (UTC)(link)
UH NO YOU KNOW THE RULES ONLY 3 PEOPLE PER SQUAD

I GUESS I COULD MAKE AN EXCEPTION LE SIGH

But yeah that would be awesome, Archangel :D

[personal profile] fightforthelost 2012-06-06 11:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Fine we'll just wrap your face in a paper bag

OH

OH I CAN HELP PICK ME



meanwhile look at these other bamfs

neuterskrogan: (Not now theorizing)

[personal profile] neuterskrogan 2012-06-06 11:45 pm (UTC)(link)
IT'S JUST BECAUSE SALARIANS HAVE BIG, STUPID, AWKWARD SHAPED HEADS TO HOUSE THEIR ENORMOUS BRAINS OK

[personal profile] neuterskrogan 2012-06-06 11:45 pm (UTC)(link)
I suppose this is acceptable
omegaria: (smirk→ yes good)

[personal profile] omegaria 2012-06-07 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
OH HEY HELLO i saw this earlier and meant to comment but YEAH ANYWAY DOING IT NOW

So basically Aria is just watching this whole thing play out and gathering information and doing Aria shit. Since Loki, Jim, and Noiz are refugees she's just like 'let them fight it out whatever dumbasses Purists are the issue'. Eventually she's doing backhand hero stuff against the PURISTS by trying to get some mercenaries (or otherwise good fighters that will help) to fall under her lead so she can start to basically have some say over what goes on in the Thor by how many eyes she has reporting to her. By taking over clubs and whatever other districts the Thor has, etc etc

SHEEPI I MUST TALK TO YOU ABOUT THISSsss

Anyway, I might mostly be getting NPC to work for her but I need to post up a plot in the OOC comm at some point in case anybody is interested in this part of Aria's plan. IF ANYBODY IS HERE, LET ME KNOW. PC's need to be able to do the dirty work of being in an organization like Arias. Sometimes that includes assasinations, stealing, hacking high security vaults for credits IDK OTHER STUFF. Where the whole purpose is to attain any means necessary to keep on an eye on the Purists; if they move, she knows it and therefore all the refugees know it.

Information is POWAH.

What she brings to the table here? Inc already mentioned it somewhere but she's the part of the defense that isn't afraid to get their hands dirty to get a job done. When the paragon option isn't working out, you go to Aria and she'll find a way to fix it. She won't necessarily be a PART of this defense since she isn't really interested in working for other people and would rather have her own peeps, but putting it out there that eventually she will be a contact to definitely look into for those black op dudes.
