rumorate: (16)
A one stop shop for all your plotting/touch base needs! A couple of starting thoughts:

• The best format for this might be a closed long with no tag order to keep things moving, as long as that works for everyone? We can also break out certain portions of the adventure if some of us are more into one aspect than others.

• What kinds of thoughts or feelings do we want shared? Would it make more sense to set that portion up as a space for one-on-one threads to make the most of those CR building moments?

• How successful do we want them to be? Do we want to go for the reward?


I figure we can use this to compile our questions/plan and take this over to Ruxi when we're all ready. Threadjack/comment/track as needed!

out of character


PLAYER: Emily
PREFERRED CONTACT: [plurk.com profile] iluvroadrunner6 or iluvroadrunner6#1178
BACKTAGGING: Yes, please.
THREADJACKING: Yes for network/chatty things, give me a heads up for log-related stuff.
FOURTH-WALLING: No, thank you.
ACTION vs PROSE: I'll match whoever I'm tagging, but I'm defaulting to actionspam lately. But honestly, I really have no preference and I know small text isn't the easiest to read for some, so if you'd rather prose just let me know!
DEAL-BREAKER SCENARIOS: I'm not into super dark things, so if you want something hard hitting/physically torturous, please check in with me first, it's not usually my bag.
YOU'D SACRIFICE A VIRGIN FOR: TBD, I'm still settling in.
ANYTHING ELSE? Super excited to be here!


in character


PHYSICAL VIOLENCE LIMITS: You punch her, she will probably punch you back - would prefer to plot out fight scenes, if we can.
OPEN TO MANIPULATION? She's pretty sharp, but you're welcome to try/we can plot it out!
...AND MIND CONTROL? She's not immune, but if she catches on she might hit you back with her own ability.
WHAT KIND OF MENTAL PRESENCE DO THEY HAVE: Rather calming, almost maternal, but also leans to being a simmering ball of rage when pushed too far.
...AND MAGICAL? Uhhh she's got superpowers but not sure they count as magic. Let me know, and we can fine tune it based on your character's abilities.
RELATIONSHIPS: Brother Five and Sister Vanya are already in play, but she's generally open to meeting new people.
WHAT PUSHES THEIR BUTTONS: Fucking with her family. Don't do it.
WARNINGS ON THEIR LABEL: Allison has powers! It's called rumoring and essentially she says "I heard a rumor ..." and whatever that rumor may be alters reality accordingly. Ex. "I heard a rumor you punched yourself in the face" = the person she's speaking to punching themselves in the face. She does not use her power often, unless her hand is forced, so this might not come up with your character, but if this is something you are very uncomfortable with, let me know and it will never come up at all!

So all of the Hargreeves children have a power, and Allison's happens to be one that functions a bit like TVD vamp compulsion. If she starts a sentence with the phrase "I heard a rumor ..." whatever she says afterwards will come true. For example, one time when she and her siblings were thwarting a bank robbery, she told one of them that she heard a rumor that he shot his friend in the foot.

And he proceded to shoot his friend in the foot.

With her vocal chord injury, she's not going to be using her ability for a while, and even when she is healed, I won't use it without asking first, and she's trying to be a better person so she won't use it unless she's forced to, aka lots of prior plotting. But it will come up in her backstory, so please feel free to tell me if you're not interested/don't want that kind of content in your life.

ALSO, to compensate for her vocal chord injury, her rift power is a flavor of thoughtspeak. She cannot read minds, nor can she manipulate them without the use of her active, vocal power, but she will be broadcasting her words to other people's minds, so if that's something your character won't be comfortable with, please let me know! She'll likely still have a memo book on her, so she'll default to that instead.

That is all!
