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

She has acquired new ways of taking care of problems over the years.

Max, you know he'd appreciate this new capability of yours if it was directed to anyone but him.

[motherofnemesis]

That is what is known as a double standard, Eddie. She applies her abilities equally and without prejudice.

[enigmaestro]

But double standards always worked for him, before a totalitarian government came round!!

[motherofnemesis]

Yes but see the totalitarian government did come around. You're dealing with post totalitarian government landscape here.

[enigmaestro]

See what happens when Eddie can't be hypocritical in his favorite ways?? TOTALITARIANISM!

[motherofnemesis]

I don't think that's how actions and consequences work though. I think he's got that chain of events wrong.
