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!
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!):
We also want to confirm:
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!

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!

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/
- 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!

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.
no subject
Jane would be willing to help Aria out, but yeah, probably more of a paragon approach for her |D
no subject
HAHAHA i expect NOTHING LESS from a paragon
hey if shepard can find a way to do it the NICE WAY more power to her! Aria even has a soft spot so it's not like she WANTS TO KILL people that get in her way okay
no subject
but hey, Jane has her renegade side too... it just doesn't show nearly as often.
no subject
come to the dark side jane 83
but ANYWAY yeah obviously YOU CAN COME TO ARIA she's more used to sheploo cos that's who i played abubu but she's not about to turn away any Shepard if you have the same resume as he does and get shit dunzo in your white knight way
ACTUALLY come to think of it if she actually is willing to help Aria out and Shepard proves she CAN DO STUFF WITHOUT PEOPLE DYING she will definitely turn to your Shep when she wants someone out of the picture but they could also be useful later on for the cause. You can be the white ops team lol
In the same way she tried to keep Gen Oraka alive but I just killed his ass cos i cbf with doing extra missions looking for artifacts :D
no subject
YYEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS this is awesome we must do it
we also need Aria and Jane to get together again....MORE CR SHENANIGANS YEAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
no subject
OKAY ARIA WILL BE WATCHING YOU JANE for shenanigans
and yes lkdsjg definitely WHO IS THIS DO-GOODER SHEPARD SHE ISN'T USED TO
no subject
i swear these two could team up and take over a galaxy or two
no subject
I KNOW and we need a log to trade all dat info B|
no subject
YES A MILLION LOGS FOREVER
no subject
BECAUSE SO MUCH INFORMATION CANT FIT IN ONE LOG
once inc's gets all settled i will have one with you bb
no subject
SOUNDS GOOD BRO just let me know when 8UUU
no subject
thane had a brief stint on omega that gets mentioned once ever but i'm sure that's enough to recognize her name c: maybe they'll see each other if sheploo continues being morally dubious??
no subject
and there will be a limbo bar in the limbo bar
whoa i didn't know that. SUP THANE. if he did have a stunt she might have called him in to talk to her idk. Sheepi and I headcanon'd that Garrus didn't really so totally possible that Thane just got down to business too.
DEF SEE EACH OTHER for sure if Thane sticks around Sheploo yessss since Inc has said since TIM is gone Aria is going to be his go to for the illegal jobs and such for information. Help her take over the bars, boys. Free booze for all.
no subject
if she's a source of underground info he'll definitely get in touch! but i am absolutely down for headcanon and helping aria create the sketchiest bar on the thor.
no subject
i wonder if it was mercenaries or something. that would probably effect how Aria would perceive Thane once she found out
yes, it will be their HQ and the strippers will have four boobs. okay all joking aside, do you think he went to go see Aria? or maybe it was all the incoming traffic creating a commotion (garrus, thane) on her station that actually gave her the idea of making them come talk to her so she knows wtf they're up to (shepard)
no subject
if you're interested, maybe i can handwave something with inc to have it so shepard namedrops her? he's been working to gain secret underground contacts anyway so she'd be perfect c:
no subject
yeah! absolutely cool with that :D
(no subject)
(no subject)
(no subject)
(no subject)
no subject
Also digging everything Aria is bringing to the table so far-- also the merc idea is really really cool. 8) Hopefully there'll be player involvement!!!
no subject
would i talk to you or ant (or even both of you) about the details of Aria's plan? Like...she does not want to RUN the Thor per say, but definitely have the aliens/refugees that own the shops, bars, etc essentially work for her. HOW POSSIBLE IS THAT? and eventually use that influence as a means to track any and all Purist movements
i hope so too! it wouldn't be as fun if it was just me and lol npc's but you know
no subject
no subject
YES that would be very awesome of you and i would luv u long time
no subject
no subject
no subject
BECAUSE OF HER EYEBROWS no idk i think it's cos she acts so tough on the outside but SHE HAS A GOOEY CENTER
