cape and cowl 2020: planning post

[2020mod]

C&C 2020 Someone call for a dystopian future au? Sometime around 2014 (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 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, and you are welcome to make use of the musebox whenever the mood strikes you! musebox • rules • character list

ruka

[olesia]

It was surprisingly easy for her to disappear into the system, once the world came crashing down. With a "normal human" identity already on the books, it was only a matter of abandoning her remaining sentiments, changing her hair style yet again, and skipping out of town. There's been some close calls, but they've faded over the years. She's no danger to the resistance or to the government the way she is, and after college she's moved into illustration. Children's books. Work has her traveling, moving and research and everything in between.

For her, the danger only comes when those familiar to her cross her path—because even after all this time, her heart is the one who betrays her.
