BIRDS OF PREY

[sibyllant.livejournal.com]

So people have dropped and characters been ported out, etc. here is the roster as I know ittttt (if any of you want off just let me know):

• Mary Marvel
  
• Selina
  
• Rachel
  
• Cass
  
• Dr. Mid-Nite
  
• Misfit (KIND OF. YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.)

People I've been trying forever to get onto the team but not quite getting there because Oracle isn't... totally aware of them: Felicia and Quatre. Actually I think she could maybe move on Quatre, but Felicia is still way off her radar. ANYWAY if you've lost interest, Ty, I don't blame you.

OKAY SO if you'd like Oracle to investigate your character and invite them to join the team just say so! She is looking for:

• people who have multiple skills (with an emphasis on combat, stealth, and infiltration)
  
• people who can work alone or in teams
  
• or, people with specialist skills (though they may get called upon less frequently depending on what those skills are)

Please don't pay too much attention to the fact that everybody's a comicbook character right now; originally we had a more diverse line-up and Maggie Mui from Read or Die was Babs' favorite agent before her player dropped (WELCOME BACK BTW).

People she already plans to ask (no obligation to say yes, it's just IC for Oracle to ask them): X-23, Zatanna, Ted.

Okay, in canon, Babs has a team of about 3-4 constants with others that she calls in as needed and they do missions. In the City, Babs has a team of ludicrously many and they... investigate Norman's Avengers because they're the shadiest game in town BUT THAT COULD CHANGE. You should ALSO comment here if you would like the Birds to investigate your doings. I hate stepping on other plots so it would be nice to know what I should or shouldn't get into.

Here's some copypasta for you if you want your character to become a Bird:
<b>NAME:</b> <b>SKILLS/ABILITIES:</b> <b>POWERS:</b> <b>EXPERIENCE:</b> <b>HOW WELL KNOWN ARE YOU:</b> (do they post often to the comms? Do they have a reputation? Did they ever do anything they're famous or infamous for?) <b>HOW MUCH & WHAT CAN ORACLE DISCOVER ABOUT YOU:</b> (she's a ~master hacker~ technopath with cameras all over the city)

Gaaah I really, really wish there was a way for Mara to get involved with this

but then again, she works for Norman and thinks he's a cool guy still :(

[sibyllant.livejournal.com]

If it helps, Harry IS going to post to the comm some time (not while the... robot plot is going on I guess) asking outright for Stuff Norman Did That Is Bad.

Alternatively Babs could ask one of the Birds to get close to Mara, but first she'd have to find out that Mara works for Norman, ahahahaha.

[hexappeal]

Zee would definitely agree to it, though she'd probably ask for a bit of a crash-course in what's up here with the heroes and villains.

I'm linking Ted-shaped, now that she's back home, just to make sure she gets it!

[sibyllant.livejournal.com]

\o/ Excellent. I could totally really write something up too if you like, the game does have a sizable chunk of history.

[riprosencrantz.livejournal.com]

Actually, I am still interested!

[sibyllant.livejournal.com]

Oh good! Then this time I won't wait (like a derp), I will have Oracle send Quatre the invitation.......... well. As soon as things settle down re: robots, so I guess I WILL wait a little bit, but it will get done this time.

[notniteowl.livejournal.com]

Woo, Ted is totally down! :D (Of course he is, he gets to hang with Babs and hot ladies.)

[sibyllant.livejournal.com]

Hahaha, yay! I foresee many lulz in BoP's future.

[acrossyourpath]

YES this could be something. I need to push her out there more anyway so we can probably work something out...!

NAME: Felicia Hardy
SKILLS/ABILITIES: Gymnastics, acrobatics, martial arts, stealth, hacking, thieving, disguises, reconnaissance, cat burglar stuff
POWERS: Bad luck abilities (causing bad luck for others)
EXPERIENCE: With her powers, none intentional experience.
HOW WELL KNOWN ARE YOU: She posts sometimes but not often, because she's kind of introverted.
HOW MUCH & WHAT CAN ORACLE DISCOVER ABOUT YOU: lives with Eddie (the Riddler), has a questionable past with Spider-man, chummy with Invincible and James Bond, annnnd Oracle could probably figure out Felicia is a cat burglar lmao. She doesn't go around advertising it but the white hair is hard to miss.

[sibyllant.livejournal.com]

YES, excellent. Good point about the hair, Idk what I was thinking. Ho ho ho, having both Felicia and Catwoman on her team.

[crackofthunder.livejournal.com]

Mid-Nite is still down - and he's all paramouring Zee right now, so that'll be fun. I think we're overdue for a big Team Meeting sort of log, too...

[sibyllant.livejournal.com]

Awesome. And yeah, we haven't had one since the beginning-ish, when we still had so many other members who are gone now! Babs has gotta hand out communicators and such, too.

[meowminx.livejournal.com]

Selina won't bother to check in with Oracle, of course, but she'll answer if Babs calls her :3

[sibyllant.livejournal.com]

Excellent :]b and as I noted above, it is lulzy to have Selina and Felicia on the same team.

[bwhahahabeck.livejournal.com]

WHY DOESN'T BOOSTER GET AN INVITE BABS

[hexappeal]

:')

[sibyllant.livejournal.com]

XD BECAUSE SHE'S CRUEL AND HEARTLESS

[foreverbouncing]

Misfit says Thbbbbt!

Someday she will be a real member, and not just the person Oracle throws in the field when things go to hell.

...Someday...

[sibyllant.livejournal.com]

I had the image of Babs throwing Misfit like a bouncy ball... NO BUT SERIOUSLY she'll try pairing Misfit up with people if/when she sends them out. IF SHE CAN GET OVER HER "BAWWW CHARLIE'S TOO YOUNG" thing.

[imonabike.livejournal.com]

AAAA. Useless comment is useless, just wanted to say I'm sad I dropped Alyx before this.

[sibyllant.livejournal.com]

Aw, I'm sorry I didn't bring it up sooner! I always thought she'd be cute on the team.

[iamjaimesommers.livejournal.com]

I am still sad that Maggie didn't get to do more with the Birds, as that was something I really enjoyed playing out. I'm sure if I reapp her later and she gets back in, she will ask to rejoin.

But in the meantime, look: a spy with super strength and speed! :D

NAME: Jaime Sommers
SKILLS/ABILITIES: Basic federal secret agent training (but BASIC--she got tossed in the deep end and learned to swim), basic police training (she went through the police academy as part of a mission), teaching, pro tennis, Casino-style dealing, rambling preachily on any number of subjects
POWERS: Super strength, jumping up to 3 stories, running up to 65 mph, and can hear up to a half a mile away and into some sub- and supersonic frequencies.
EXPERIENCE: She's been working as a part-time field agent for the U.S. Office of Scientific Intelligence for 3 years in her home world. She often does solo missions but also works with partners. She focuses on protection, victim rescue, and stealing back stolen items. She was not properly "schooled" as an agent as circumstance (her accident and bionic operation) brought her in rather than desire and longterm training.
HOW WELL KNOWN ARE YOU: She's still fairly new here; not many know about her or her abilities yet, but I am working on getting her better integrated into the city after I get back from my vacation next week. Her last post was her freaking out after being Sparked by Starscream's machine which probably won't leave a first good impression, but ah well.
HOW MUCH & WHAT CAN ORACLE DISCOVER ABOUT YOU: Pretty much anything. Despite her training, Jaime is horrible at keeping secrets, and she doesn't fully understand yet that private filters can be hacked, given her computer knowledge comes from 1978, and she's giving contemporary technology more benefit of the doubt than she should.

If you are interested in recruiting her, FYI I'm going on hiatus this afternoon and will be back Sunday.

[sibyllant.livejournal.com]

Oooooooooh, just the kind of agent Oracle likes. Probably Oracle will have one of the Birds investigate Jaime, since she's so new. See you on Sunday!

SO I FEEL THE BIRDS NEED AN ANTISOCIAL SCOWLFACE

just kidding. however, fyi, I am pretty much always okay with Reilly getting investigated by everyone as karmic justice for all of his stalking.

[littleprovolone.livejournal.com]

I am excited by Mary being on the Birds. Anything you want to throw at her, please feel free to do so!!

Dude how did I miss this.

[20-lbs-of-crazy.livejournal.com]

I have no idea how this would work, but Parker needs a crew. She wants to be involved in jobs to help people and screw over bad guys - even more so now thanks to recent canon. She just can't plan a con herself. Tell her to steal just about anything and she can usually make something up on the fly, though...

NAME: Parker
SKILLS/ABILITIES: Infiltration, theft, breaking and entering, car theft, anything related to stealing. Can also sketch a very realistic portrait of a perp from memory.
POWERS: Instantaneous teleportation. (Which became public when she got the hiccups and her comm was switched on.)
EXPERIENCE: Has been a cat burglar since the age of 10; Parker was trained by one of the greatest thieves in her world and probably is one of the greatest thieves in her world now. She's been working with the Leverage crew for about two years, participating in elaborate cons aimed at powerful individuals or corporations who victimize everyday people. (Incidentally, she stole the Hope Diamond and then put it back strictly out of boredom.)
HOW WELL KNOWN ARE YOU: Posts sporadically to the comms. Harvey and Weaz know her pretty well - the former survived a disaster date with her and Weaz is her tech supplier. She'd be better known if I got her out more.
HOW MUCH & WHAT CAN ORACLE DISCOVER ABOUT YOU: A lot. She should be able to find out that Parker is the one who helped Damian dig up dirt on Samuel during Operation Carny a few months back. Also, this old thread (http://community.livejournal.com/capeandcowl/1324294.html?thread=115042822#t115042822) with Billy is very, very revealing.
