C&C 2020
Someone call for a dystopian future au? Sometime around 2013 (THIS IS NEW, GUYS, WE'RE JUST SLIDING THE SHIT HITTING THE FAN FORWARD A FEW YEARS OKAY), the government in the City decided that they'd had enough of these superhero antics. There was a nationwide crackdown on metas, requiring registration upon penalty of incarceration. The network was shut down, and many residents were scattered to the winds. There are a few that stayed in touch, however. That's where you come in.
For some of you, this might be from before your time. Not to fear! Since it's a highly flexible splinter universe, there's pretty much no such thing as canon. Retcons abound, either as allowances for contradictory canon information (except for the premise, of course), or even just if the player wants to change something around!
So, use this post as a free-for all. New characters get new projected histories, dropped characters can be said to have come back, and old characters can be reexamined or given more story. On Sunday, an open post will be put up in
cnc2020 proper, so use this time to work out information and pimp this out to players who're eligible but may not see this (you can also ahead and start your own posts in that comm)! Remember, any character that has been played in maingame is automatically good to go.
Jack!
Jack remains unregistered, at least until around the end of 2014. Then, he gets scooped up by the Bureau and 'experimented on'. We'll leave you to imagine what sort of experiments they did on the man who can't die. Suffice to say, they left him a great deal less sane than he was in the first place. In any case, by about 2017 they began to get lax with the guards placed around him, and Jack managed to seduce one of the people in charge of him, get certain information from her, and break out. Once free, Jack discovered that while he was imprisoned, the Doctor had disappeared. One less tie to sanity! Obviously that's what he needed.
With the Doctor gone, Jack gradually slides back into his old ways, traveling around smuggling and conning people when he feels the need for it. Through an arrangement with Ted Kord, he's gotten a ship, and drops by to visit old friends and take revenge on newer enemies when he can. He always disappears quickly, always looking for someone he can't quite manage to find. He's managed to make a name for himself as one of the Bureau's more formidable enemies. He'd be even more formidable if he could just find a certain elf.
