HERE IT IS, THE PROMISED MEME

[rocksforbrains]

LWOC DNA EPAC
CLOAK AND COVER
(AKA C&C-2)
(AKA FRANKY STEALS FROM SILVER AGE COMICS AND STAR TREK)

Imagine a world just like the one in which the City resides, except everything is ever so slightly...off. One degree, one minor shift in reality, that alters everything. Changes lives, destroys cities, sets heroes down the path of villains and vice versa.

This is that world.

In short, this meme is a lead-up to an open RP, much like C&C2020. But unlike that setting, C&C-2 is in the present day on a parallel version of the C&Cverse. The AI Decima operates the Prisoner, which brings in people (the imPrisoned) from worlds that are like that of their counterparts stuck in the C&C setting, but just off by one major change in their personal history.

So, y'know, this is an alternate universe meme with setting fluff basically.

Oh right, and everyone lives in the HIVE. And the City is a smoking nuclear crater. And crime is rampant enough to make the US one gigantic lawless clusterfuck. It's not a pleasant reality if you're not an evil jerk.

NOW THAT I'VE GOT THE SET UP OUT OF THE WAY, go nuts! AU up your characters! Establish how their CR would change when instead of spending three years as a hero stuck in not-New York they spent three years as a supervillain stuck in not-LA. The open RP will be this Saturday so plenty of time for everyone to get around to this!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME(ME)

The Monster in the Darkness

[yelloweyesdarksomething]

The Monster is still pretty neutral and out-for-himself, except instead of being a sweet little monster who wants out of the darkness, he's a selfish jerk who never wants to leave it.

Let's just say that instead of being terrible at being a monster, Monster was actually good at being a monster back home. So he was still with Team Evil, but Xykon and Redcloak actually succeeded in creating a terror. He never met O-Chul, he never had tea parties.

But sometimes, when he's done with being a jerk, when he's really sad or really happy, there's a glimpse of mercy and kindness.

I TOTALLY MISSED ALL THE HIVE STUFF? HOW DOES THAT WORK?

Basically in-HIVE he still knows people and probably does a better job as a freelance Henchmonster, although he really doesn't like being human. SO YEAH. He's a mean one, Mr. Monster--
