SUP GUYS

Okay so here is a plot proposal for AEGIS. An incomplete one, though, which is where you guys come in!

The Mass Effect crew has a little something coming up that we figured could be expanded into a bigger something! Keep in mine that, as always, everything mentioned in this post is just a proposal and is meant to be talked about and expanded upon! If a player doesn't want to have his/her character involved for any reason YOU ARE NOT OBLIGATED! JUST SAY SO!

Cliffnotes version:

1) Kamui from Gintama has been hired by the Purists to wreak some havoc with the microwave guns, which he'll be obtaining through his new mob boss job. He'll be distributing those to NPCs (POSSIBLY PCs, too-- still debating on that) During the month of August, characters may notice a higher rate of incidents concerning severe burns and radiation poisoning, but more on that later. Moriarty and Loki may want in on this! WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK?

2) While the month goes on, guns will start showing up on the streets, as will related casualties (fatal and otherwise). Dave Nails will be most likely be reporting on these and letting the general public know about it! How? By using his rad journalist janitor powers!

3) Since Kamui is working for the Purists, they'll also be getting him to kidnap Joker from the Normandy. Partly to mess with the Normandy Crew, but mostly to extract information from who they assume is their weakest link.

4) After Joker is kidnapped, the Normandy Crew will track down/figure out where he is but not before they fuck him up something good (more on that later). The proposed teams to go and get him are:

Team Rescue (black ops)-- Jim Shepard, Mordin, Thane and Garrus [Rescue Joker]
Team Girl Power-- Jane Shepard, Liara, Tali and Miranda [Find the interrogators, gather any data]
Team Fuck Kamui Up-- Wrex and Aria [Fuck Kamui up]


AGAIN this is only a proposal! Anyone who has any ideas can go right on in the comments and say them! IDEAS ARE GOOD!

Okay so, that's the Mass Effect side of things, where the hell does everyone else come into this?

Well, that's really up in the air, but, like I said earlier, this is where player input is really appreciated!

First of all, someone is going to get their hands on that surplus of weaponry, NPC or otherwise. Unfortunately, we have a severe lack of villains in the game, which makes it tough! We're thinking about doing temporary villain stuff, but that's another thing for another time! ANYWAY, because the Normandy Crew will be busy grabbing their pilot, they can't work on the gun distribution, or raiding/fighting the source, who/whatever that may be.

SECOND OF ALL, for those who don't know, Joker has brittle bone disease. His interrogators are going to take advantage of that and pretty much paralyze him from the waist down. It would be pretty awesome to have some science in there to fix that (like robo science).

BASICALLY the goal for this post is to cement the Normandy Crew plans, and to come up with some other stuff to tie into the whole plot. For reference, we'll have a month before anything actually happens, so we have time to get stuff done!

AND. AS ALWAYS. COMMENT, CRITIQUE, OVERTHINK, DO IT ALL! THIS IS A ~*SAFE PLACE*~

VILLAIN, YOU SAY? /tosses this guy out

I'm good for Loki being a douchebag again and causing trouble, and honestly I don't necessarily mind how he does it? Whatever you think fits in better with the overall plot -- however I suppose there is the issue of him having a motive other than just causing trouble for the sake of it.... but then again, god of mischief and everything. :|a So I suppose that's something to ponder over!

Obviously I'm good with Liara being on Team Girl Power; to kind of reflect Noah's comment up there, Liara would also be good with information gathering if you need her to do anything like that. In fact, maybe she can work with Miri on it?

Allllsssooo I would want Stephen to help with the Thorvengers stuff, but I suppose I can hit Deb up with that. I imagine his magic can come in handy maybe idk.

Magic could definitely be useful. Especially if Loki gets involved, although I guess Stephen can't face off with him directly. XD

yeah XD; but I suppose Stephen could always just conveniently not... run into Loki and fix any magical problems Loki might leave behind? It doesn't really even have to be magic-related, he can just do some patrol work with the rest of the Avengers. Or whatever it is we'll have planned out!

Reasons usually include:

1. It provides something of benefit to himself. This was what motivated him during the whole "let's blow up parts of the Thor!" plot.

2. He's doing it specifically to spite someone. usually thor

3. Sometimes he just does it because he can! Usually nothing terribly, you know, big and destructive though, if just for this reason.

4. He's feeling particularly crazy depressed, moody, unstable, whatever, and he decides to take it out on the stupid little mortals surrounding him?

IDK IF THAT HELPS??

YES actually, that sounds like something Loki would ICly do. There's that, and I think if we couple it with Deb's idea one comment below, then we've got ourselves a viable motive.

and yes he kind of is a big baby but shh don't tell anyone if it isn't already painfully obvious

#2 could possibly come into play if Loki finds out Thor is helping put this group together. Especially if the Avengers start patrolling and becoming more visible. Loki might decide to mess with Thor and his little superhero friends? And turn cars into ice cream or something.

Yes, I think that would work, but we'd have to kind of get a rough timeline together, if that makes sense? I'm assuming that if Loki and Kamui (see below) want to get together to start SHENANIGANS, this probably would happen before the Avengers start patrolling? (Correct me if I'm wrong.)

SO I'm assuming that once they start patrolling, Loki has MORE of an incentive to cause a ruckus? Sheepi (see above) came up with a decent idea of why Loki would have begun his little stint into mischief in the first place.

Did that... make any sense at all?

Well I'm all for a Liara/Miri teamup.

Me too! I don't think they've really even had a chance to interact much, so this should be a great chance for it. *A*

What do you say to a team up~? NGL Kamui kind of thought Loki was pretty entertaining the last time he started shit.

I WOULD LOVE A TEAM UP, I think these two would work really scarily well together. I just tossed up a hiatus for two weeks, but any time after that I'd be free for plotting? So basically I'd be free around the last week of this month -- which might be a moot point anyway because I guess none of this takes place until September? w/e

THATS COOL they can get in contact in a couple weeks or something and then SHENANIGANS
