Mission Sign-Ups + Updates!

[wynn]

Welcome back, everybody! We are wrapping up the main plot log finally, which means it's time to pull the trigger on the big shift to America for the Knighthood. To that end, I would appreciate everyone who is still playing responding to this post with both your mission sign-ups and the following info:

• What EACH of your characters intends to do when the move happens (agree to go, run away and go on a cruise, stay behind in London even if it means getting cut off from communication with the rest of the Knights, etc. etc.) I would really like to limit the number of Knights remaining behind in the castle in London. Going to the SHIELD base does not mean that your character will be placed on the front lines of battle, but is the only way that they will be able to continue to contribute to the effort to stop Blade and anyone allying with him, and the only way that they will continue to receive missions from Hasmed and Solace.
• Any changes you'd like to make to your active/inactive line-up.
• Any (obviously non-secret, unless you can be subtle) plot threads that you need tied up from me in order to figure out the above.

An important note on time: Since the game was very slow for the last year for various reasons, I am keeping us on a timeline one year behind the current year. That means that we'll pick up in March of 2018, with moving in to the SHIELD base having just happened.

And, of course:

YOUR MISSION, SHOULD YOU CHOOSE TO ACCEPT IT

is to give me an idea of what you're interested in doing in regard to missions as a response to this post, sometime before Friday, March 15th. 

Those who do not respond will be placed on the inactive list.  You are allowed to reactivate at any time without a re-app.

Please respond with a list of all your active characters and what you'd like for them. If you have any characters who have NEVER BEEN ON A MISSION, please indicate this in your comment, and list them first. If I still owe you an intro mission that we discussed, please note that too!

This is to help sort out characters onto missions for the next 4-5 months.

Needing/wanting a more laid back approach through the next several months? You're probably going to want option 1.

1) Opt Out. First off, if you're worried about being just too busy to do any missions at all in the next several months (given that missions ask for a steadier rate of tags than social castle logs do) and would rather opt out entirely, please respond with "OPT OUT -CHARACTER NAME-" or Option 1. Your character will still be able to participate in social logs, but they won't be holding up any group missions by accident.

However, if you're interested in doing a regular mission, with lots of NPC and fellow PC interaction, guided action scenarios with dicerolls and all that goodness, option 2 or 3 will be the way to go.

2) Mission Me! If you would like to be involved on a mission at all, please select option 2, and tell me what level that character is currently.

Missions could go on for awhile - usually in terms of several months, but sometimes for way longer. They could be straight forward problems: complicated political issues, in depth investigations, far reaching evil organizations, etc or issues with a quicker fix: a single monster, incident, person, item, etc. that requires dealing with. All missions will be taking place in America, and deal with the current situations resulting from the main game plot of Keijen Blade ascending to godhood. Technically, everyone is on main plot now... congrats, y'all in it.

Completion time varies greatly depending on the speed of the group.

3) Failboat. [costs XP] The mission group is closed to all those who have had a story reason to split from the Knights and follow Jack Chessing. This mission will take place soon after the wrap of the aftermath of current main plot mission. There will be another Failboat social log incoming soon as well.  Keep an eye out for Plot Shop sign-ups. Please make sure you will have time to dedicate to steadily and quickly tagging the Failboat mission posts if you continue on with Option 3. This means being able to tag back within a 48 hour window, ideally.

[forcevisions]

BUFFY - 3
Will be staying with Failboat with her primary focus being trying to con Rafael into retiring forever to Kroznya or however that's spelled. Keep him out of the fight; she'll handle this and then they'll be fine. Or maybe she'll die. Whichever.

REY - 2
Her primary focus will be the holocron and Darth Vane's place in the world. Provided they are coming to SHIELD base, Rey will too. She will be hoping to use that knowledge to help her help in the fight against Keijen.

SKYE/DAISY - 2
Now that they're unifying SHIELD and the Knights, her primary goal will be to bring everybody on board together. Smoothing tensions, etc. She'll be bringing Alex in as a contractor with SHIELD now that he's left the Knights. She will probably also be functioning as liaison, I imagine, between any chafing in the leadership. Time for some diplomacy. I'd like to pursue her developing her inhuman powers at some point this chapter before the game ends.

[impetere]

Felicity - 3 - Level 16 pending cashing in XP from the main plot post

David - 2 - Level 14 - going to SHIELD base
Kate - 2 - Level 12 - going to SHIELD base
Cora - 2 - Level 14 - going to SHIELD base
Malina - 2 - Level 11 - going to SHIELD base
Rory - 2 - Level 9 - going to SHIELD base
Barry - 2 - Level 10 - going to SHIELD base**

These two aren't officially knights so they get a separate section:
Laurel - 2(?) - Level 14 - going to SHIELD base(?) - IDK if Laurel got brought back to the castle or not or if she's still on the outside, so this is something that needs to be resolved I think! (Also I have questions for you about her but this week was crazy so I haven't had the brainpower to ask them, I will drop that into our pplurk sometime this weekend.)

Rosario - 2 - Level 14 - going to the SHIELD base because she's following the wife.

Lance Sweets - 1 - going to the SHIELD base
Shawn Spencer - 1 - I'm going to leave him in London since he's inactive and wouldn't be on missions anyway.

**Barry is pending what winds up resolving with Thea + Laurel but he goes where Thea goes.

OKAY DONE.

/writes a novel???

[morethanasidekick]

Rose Hathaway || Level 22 || Option 3
Tres Winchester life. Sticking with Failboat to help takedown Keijen and Friends (like Fox and Friends but less toxic), with a forever side of wanting to find Wynn and everything is spiders.

Kenzi Malikov || Level 16 || Option 2
Kenzi is all about stepping up and being useful these days. After the Castle attack where she was left to fight a giant scorpion without a weapon, she's been quietly busting her ass to become more badass because she's tired of everyone else having to step in and help while she stands back and tries not to die. She's going to S.H.I.E.L.D. not because she's loyal to Hasmed & Solace, but because she wants to step up and help her friends. Randomly, because I put this in way back when I first started playing her, she does still have a GM's destiny so on a personal note would be keen to see what, if anything, comes of that. Provided you know, it's not dying LOL

Avaleen || Level 15 || Option 2
Ava will forever go where she can be the most help and as a Healer, that's going to be where most of the fighters are going, so she'll move to S.H.I.E.L.D too.

Gwen Cooper || Level 10 || Option 1 or 2
Gwen is not Team Hasmed & Solace at all, but she goes where she thinks she can be the most help, and that's off to S.H.I.E.L.D to try and help protect the Knights as much as possible. She's a gunslinging diplomat/investigator so she'll probably be running around trying to make sure the transition to S.H.I.E.L.D. goes well, with a side of challenging anyone who she thinks is crossing a line with 'their people'.

Frankie Matera || Level 10 || Option 1 or 2
Going to S.H.I.E.L.D. Frankie is all about wanting to see the Keijocalypse contained as much as possible, especially seeing as her Fam are currently safe (as anyone can be) on the other side of the world. She's one who might be useful in a support capacity seeing as she's tech-minded. Politically she's on the fence. She liked Wynn and all but the revelations about his working to keep the veil open hasn't sat well with her. That said she thinks Hasmed is a bit of a dick, so. It's not loyalty to the powers that be that keep her in the fight, but rather the bigger picture.

Sawyer Kelly || Level 9 || Option 1 or 2
Honestly? The only thing that's seeing Sawyer going with everyone to S.H.I.E.L.D. is that she has literally nowhere else to go. Everyone who mattered to her pre-Knights is dead, along with the Knight she was squired to. She has a realistic sense that she's not powerful enough to take on the worst of what they face, but she'll help where she can because doing nothing is worse to her than dying. Politically? She really liked Jack, okay, so she's linefaising at the current regime change, but she's here.

Darcy Lewis || Level 5 || Option 1 or 2
Darcy will be headed to S.H.I.E.L.D she wants her iPod back dammit. She's ickle in terms of levels, and drive wise, may work better in a 'support teams from base' capacity? She'll forever be helping Jane with what she has on.

Note I sincerely have no preference on the ones marked Options 1 or 2, as to whether they go out on missions or not. They can still be peripherally involved, even if they're not active in the field. If somebody with their skill set is needed for a mission, slide them on in, otherwise, they'll contribute in a support capacity.

[theshadowspeaks]

Deryn Argall - Level 4 - Option 2
Deryn will be going with the group, he still wants to make himself feel useful after the attack on the castle in any way he can.

Mars Dacey - Level 11 - Option 2
Mars is going to the Shield base, he already knows that he is taking his sister Melody whose in his care, and that her well being is on him, but he's still ready to fight to protect what he beleives in.

Sebastian Trevethor - level 1 - Option 2
Sebastian is going as well. He has no real reason aside from enjoying the travel and work.

Allen Francis Doyle - Level 7 - Option 1
Doyle's staying behind, someone's gotta protect the bar?

[familybusiness]

/takes a deep breath okay here we go

Elena - Option whatever the fuck she is idek. You got me.

Sam - Option 3

Katniss - is apparently Option 3 now too???? We can figure out who does what on a case by case basis since I don't know what's coming.

Bo - Option 2, Level 10 (re-activating?) She'll be leaving her son either with Andrew or Andrew's mom, depending on if her hubby is coming with to Vegas or not.

Dimitri - Option 2, Level 10 (re-activating) Here he comes from Russia to help stop the end of the world bc it's the right thing to do.

Miles - Option 1, going with the knights.

Jane - Option 2, Level 9, going with the knights.

Snow - Option 1, deactivating (but going wherever emma/charming go(

Finn - Option 1, going with the knights

Ashley - Option 1, deactivating (but going wherever Helen goes)

Groot - Option 1, Option 2 if you need a healer (Level 8), going with the knights.

[felidity]

Vi - 3 ➙ Filbert and it's a real shame she doesn't get to go to Vegas considering she was born and raised there, even if she doesn't remember it

Amy - 2 ➙ going to SHIELD (activate)
Bea - 2 ➙ going to SHIELD on the condition that Ro stays with her which doesn't seem like a problem since Ro is already in the castle and in the know (never missioned)
Caroline - 2 ➙ going to SHIELD
Ella - 2 ➙ going to SHIELD; ur stuck with her now, Edain.
Gus - 2 ➙ going to SHIELD
Jyn - 2 ➙ going to SHIELD (never missioned)
Kali - 2 ➙ going to SHIELD
Lila - 2 ➙ going to SHIELD she guesses
Thea - 2 ➙ will only continue on to SHIELD if Laurel is allowed to stay with her; Laurel is non-negotiable, they are a set now.

Jeanne - 1 ➙ she will stay behind at the French HQ, protects France forever, vive la liberté (deactivate)
Sean - 1 ➙ going to SHIELD (deactivated)
Winter - 1 ➙ already at the French HQ, will stay there (deactivated)

[nothingsodivine]

DES- LEVEL 21- 3??? (x files theme)
You know, he's just out there. Doing his thing.

GOLD- Level 15- 2
Going to SHIELD Base, because he's the only Hasmed Stan that exists, I guess. Just doing his thing. He needs to talk to a certain person before he bounces. U know who.

PAIGE- Level 15- 2
GOING TO SHIELD BASE. WE NEED CLERICS. Also she was part of the LA scouting mission so she feels invested... as if she wasn't already.

TOPHER- Level 11- 2
Going to SHIELD. He has nowhere to go and his hometown is on fire, and he just wants to stay busy. He worked on a flash signal for Barry before they left so that's cool.

SARK- Level 11- 2
I don't even think Sark is officially a knight, like he was planning on finishing out what he had to do for the Peterson case and then Sydney convinced him to stay and then everything exploded, so he's like... Kinda just a freelancer among their number, but he has nowhere to go either, and he's going to SHIELD base.


Rocket and Mabel Pines are being deactivated. Watch this space for a potential new character. Mabel and Dipper ran off when the Hasmed. Rocket is going to SHIELD base, but he will not be doing... anything.

[ambitionist]

finnick / ??? / lvl 11 will still be at krozna i think??? i believe myri wanted to pursue finding wynn based on a dream she had and if that's the case he would still be going with her.

alex / 2? / lvl 14 left the knights and is coming to the shield base, but as a shield contractor instead. and possibly be allowed to contribute to missions in that capacity? just. you know. more tensely. it's fine, don't worry about it. he's the one i want to play most so give me that content 🙌

will / 2 (or 3?) / lvl 13 would stay with the knights, given it's the only place he's felt like he's found Purpose. i'd be interested in getting to do more stuff with him where he can use his super powers behavioral analysis skills. probably too late to include him on actual failboat stuff, but since he does have connections with the winchesters from other missions, that might give him an in on their Search for Wynn since i'm interested in doing more with him this go around. or something to that end anyway. also noting that i asked for gm destiny for him and if anything will come of that 👌

astrid / lvl 13 and nathan / lvl 12 / 1 or 2? they'll both go with shield out of … honestly probably wanting to go to vegas more than anything else because they're both garbage. if you think they would be a good fit to a particular mission then go for it, otherwise i'm not actively seeking stuff out for them.

who knows what happened to everyone else .... rip

OPT OUT - see comment

[grumpypuppy]

Due to the fact I'm in grad school until July 2020, I'm going to be on the Opt-Out list until then UNLESS you specifically need one of my characters for the mission because of a plot/fandom based storyline, and then I will make an effort to tag the thread once a day.

This goes for Derek, Baal, Poe, and Hal.

Kiance, on the other hand, is remaining in France at the lands he inherited from his sire. The knights are still welcome to stay there when in Paris and the surrounding areas.

[daredtobelieve]

Myri - 3ish - So Myri is with failboat but if she's still been having that nagging feeling/voice/dreams to go East, she's gonna go do the thing. This will possibly be a thing on the failboat social log you mentioned so it may develop organically there who might come with her and/or convince her to stay instead, etc

Clark - 2 - level 8 because superhero leveling is hard - Going to SHIELD and being as helpful as he can be. I worry about his survival since I haven't ever touched his xp out of avoidance to want to figure out his leveling... yolo i guess

Andrew - 2 - level 10 - He's personally hoping he can do mission stuff from the SHIELD base via his techie skills. Leaving the kiddo with his parents is probably the smartest move, but man I'm enjoying the thought of Andrew with a baby carrier, sitting at a SHIELD computer doing mission support things. But no gonna put that baby away safe and sound <3

Helen - 2 - level 13 - Going to SHIELD, trying to make up for all her bad life choices.

Faye - 2 - level 14 - Going to SHIELD, gonna set some evil things on fire, hopefully

Any of my below options are open for you to snag if you need someone with their skill sets to round out a group <3

Willow - 1 - Will go where Aur goes, honestly. But no missions for this bb witch

Thoster - 1 - Going to SHIELD but not doing missions currently

Stiles - 1 - He's going to see this through and go to SHIELD

Neal - isn't a knight but I doubt he got an invite to SHIELD so he's hanging in london, just so everyone knows

Charming - 1 - Will go where his family goes, which isn't helpful since that's also Ashley's answer...

[errantdetective]

Spike - 3. Level 19.

Carol - 2. Level 10 but I might use that buy background training thing or something because girl deserves to kick all the ass. Level 15!

Toby - 2. Level 15 but may change with XP dump.

Feste - 2. Level 10.

Bubblegum, Wade - 1 or 2. Totally open to them sliding into a mission if they're needed, but not feeling it as strongly as the other three.

[trigeminalheadache]

DAWN, MAGGIE-MAY, CAITLIN - 2

I’d like to jump back in, if possible, with all three going along with the move to the SHIELD base.

[krasnayapautina]

NATASHA ROMANOFF — (main journal: krasnayapautina, but sometimes vdov since I can be too lazy to sign out sometimes) — OPTION 02 & GOING TO SHIELD BASE — lemme get back to you this wknd on level when it's not 5:28 AM lmfao

[thehawksnest]

Clint Barton - 2 - missions pls, going to SHIELD base.
Pietro Maximoff - 1 - bc he's fucked off somewhere.

[mercenairy]

Nick Hawley - 1 - He's currently living on his boat off the coast of Australia and says good luck, ya'll he's retired.
Solas - 1 - I have no idea what he's doing, probably off doing elfy things with Ashe.

Remi - 2 - Starting at lvl 14 - SHE'S NEWLY ARRIVED and has no idea what's going on, but fling her at things to do once she gets in.

Dante - 1 or 2 - Starting at lvl 14 - He is... not technically a Knight and is probably going to stay with his club for the most part but I'm not opposed to him being peripherally involved where needed, he's a great informant and has contacts everywhere so use him as you need him. This might change if he gets personally invested along the way but right now he is???

Bobby?? - ?? - potentially starting at 14 also?? - IDEK he is at his new place, doing his thing, being Bobby-shaped? I will work him in wherever you need him to, but he also primarily does... Bobby things and only occasionally ventures out when Winchesters people need backup.

[socialgraces]

Francesca - 3 w/ Christos and Katniss

Fiona - 1 and going to shield base

Penelope - 1 and also going to shield

[ofmyword]

Elijah - 2, level 9(10) -- He did level up during the last mission he was on, I just haven't done it yet whoops.

Rocky - 2, level 1... I think??? probably

Scott - 1

[attollores]

Alainn-3- planning on staying with Failboat until the end of the line, gonna focus on trying to save the world and all that stuff.

Jordan-2- Jordan is going to the S.H.I.E.L.D. base and focus on trying to find a way to get rid of his bottle if he can. He also is going to work on trying to come to terms with the fact that he has had two masters now in the span in as many years and he really doesn't like that. And also...gonna try to patch things up with Faith or try to make them... less awkward.

Riddick-1 I've kinda lost my inspiration with Riddick at the moment, so while he will be going with the Knights to S.H.I.E.L.D., he will be just more for social...things? As social as Riddick ever gets??

[msattentionspan]

I'm really trying to push myself back into RP and I'm hoping to use this round of missions/moving/etc to give myself a better idea about what I want to really RP as far as characters and what directions I want to give them. I'm busy a lot with work, but if I'm pinged or text messaged - I will reply within 12 hours (unless I'm driving across state lines). I want to give this more attention and make sure that I'm not letting my depression take away something that I truly do enjoy. I just need to settle into finally writing characters for me and stop writing them because I want to write with specific people. IT IS HARD THOUGH.

Option 1
Cheryl - UHHH YOU ARE NOT HER SUPERVISOR. Of course she's moving to SHIELD. Where's her desk? Where's her lanyard? Where's her stack of gossip magazines, because FINALLY they are actually about ACTUAL important people, because NO ONE CARES about the ROYAL FAMILY. Who needs the Queen when she has LADY GAGA WINNING OSCARS?? (idk, I assume that transcends all dimensions.)

Cybill - She's moving to the States and HELLA excited for it. She's never been overseas and she's really looking forward to having an exotic accent to hit on everyone ever. I plan on throwing her at social stuff this weekend, to try and see where I want to take her. I feel like I made her and then didn't know what to do. Hopefully I can work through this. I'm already building a new OC to swap out for Zoe, so if that goes well and I feel more comfortable with that OC and Cybill still feels off, then I'll probably look to swap her out for a new OC too.

Joanna Beth Harvelle - Moving to the States. Thrilled to be back in the land of familiar food. Pizza. She wants Pizza. She'll be doing a quick drop-in to where she'd been working for a while undercover. She'll grab her stuff that she had in storage and then will find an apartment in Las Vegas and will probably get herself a side hustle at a bar, just to have that familiar bit of her history back. She'll still be a Knight, though, and I have some little plans with people to try and incorporate her more into things that are already going on. *cough*Rose*cough*

Oliver Queen - He's not a Knight, and he's just been visiting London to learn about his sudden sister and Laurel. He'll be back in the States, running a million dollar corporation with high tech stuff. So you know, if anyone needs anything... just ask. He really doesn't think identity theft is required anymore. He's also a crime fighter by night. I also sunk all that time into leveling and building up Allison and her archery stuff that ... is now all for naught... so having that experience in building an archer will be great when I finally give myself the time to sort out his level and skills for his sheet.

Rebekah - Moving to Inactive. She's moving to the States, heading to New Orleans for a bit, but she'll be around for social logs, but she's leaving the Knights and hoping that a certain mentor might be okay with her asking her on a date at some point when she's back in town. She's mostly planning to be the best aunt possible.

Hayley - Moving to the States, heading to New Orleans with Rebekah to show her little girl a bit of her "history". She's still inactive. I will probably be pulling her out of the Knights so she can officially be a Mom full time, since really the only reason she was staying there was for the roof and the support system, but with my ability to NPC Klaus - I can just shove her into whatever NPC land I have built for him in the States.

Cara - Moving to the States. Still inactive. She's still a Knight. IDK what to do with her.

Malia - Moving to the States. Still inactive. I will probably just write her off into the sunset and she goes to high school and tries to have a normal life for once.

Allison - Moving to Inactive - She's not staying at the castle, but she is staying out doing her own thing. Traveling, etc. around London and the area. Coping?

Zoe - She wasn't living at the castle, but she's staying in London because that's where her family is. I will be replacing her with a new OC, because I never felt right playing Zoe since she wasn't based on a character I created. But for now, she's just here to maintain my OC count until I have the new guy ready. (being as transparent as possible here)

Option 2
Ward - Level 8 - He'll be at SHIELD (as long as they let him in the door...) and I'm interested to see where this goes for him.

Riggs - Level 8 - He won't be staying at SHIELD, but I can have him transfer from the LAPD to the LVPD or the Marshall Service there so he can be a connection in law enforcement. He also lives in an RV, so you know... he doesn't need a place to live. He just needs a place to park it. He promises it won't be on the lawn in front of SHIELD.

OPTION 3
Faith - Level 15 - I mark this down, because she's following the current trend with the group she's with, but there's also a chance that the direction she takes will change as the mission itself changes. I'll pay the XP just to have her continue with this path until it meets whatever end she feels it suits to her.

I have to level her up, because I've been playing her with her sheet at 13, but when I was at Ashley's house the amazing Brooke looked up her XP and was like "She's much higher than that!" So I need to sit down and get that going, but I'm ok playing her at 13 until I have that done.


-- I feel like I rambled a bit too much, but I wanted to let you know where I was standing with this because I know my activity is a rollercoaster, but I am trying and I am going to make an effort.
