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 Saturday, an open post will be put up in

capeandcowl2020 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 main game is automatically good to go.

When the crackdown and shit began to hit the fan, Kate stood to fight. The years spent here before the crackdown has made her even more bitter, every passing day a reminder she's still a prisoner in this place. So when the government got too close to cracking down on her and potentially jeopardizing the lives of the people she loved around her, she did what she is unfortunately really good: she cut herself off completely. She hasn't seen Nill in who knows how long, doesn't communicate often with anyone she had originally allied herself with, and definitely fucked things up with Renee once again. Anyway, she disappeared for some time; you'd think she was ported out or died.

She lies about her name (insisting it's Beth Hamilton) to keep others out of her life or when she suspects anyone is getting too close. She's more ruthless in her fighting now, but doesn't take any pride in the hurting and maiming she's done to others who have gone after her. She sees it as an inevitable part of war.

But she still soldiers on, fighting against the government she once held faith in. She helps the resistance, though is more prone to her own private operations.
