[OOC] The Mavericks | Neo-Genesis

[Lord Wraith]

Has Wisp been accepted completely yet?

@Nemaisare

Unfortunately she was denied in the end. So outside of Stein and Heathen I believe the entire cast has posted.

[Nemaisare]

Ah.

A plotting we shall go then.

[Lord Wraith]

@Lord WraithEllara and Andrew might live in the same building, or in nearby buildings, just come across each other naturally while walking places. So, facial recognition, not much else. Or neighbours he's borrowed ingredients from and then given cookies to. Helped Ellara move into Alexis'? He might know Alexis more readily. Or maybe they're neighbours who don't know each other but Andrew and Janelle need to empty their fridge and invite them over for a potluck if they need to empty their fridge too, or just a power outage party... They have a barbecue, so they can still cook things.

@Nemaisare

Pretty much good with all of this. Alexis would be far more welcoming and friendly where Ellara probably keeps her distance and is hesitant to talk for the most part.

Well that seems slightly rude.

@Lord Wraith

I suppose so.

I apologize for anyone who took offense. The statement was meant in jest.

Also, I posted. And she is brewed to perfection. #Sip

In case you are wondering, yes--it IS excruciatingly hard to realistically get into the mind of an innocent 15 year old boy.

[Lord Wraith]

You poor soul. I would not want to revisit that mind set haha.

@Stein

I'm glad you didn't go anywhere less respectable with that one.

Like inside of a 15 year old boy.

I couldn't resist.

@Hillan

Oh Hilly, you never fail to disappoint.

Wait, I mean you never disappoint, you failure.

Wait no, I mean you never disappoint.

wait, no--the first one was right.

[Stein]

@Lord Wraith

Right! And I'm realizing what I've just committed to by actually putting a post now I'm like tied to this little bastard.

.....dammit

@Stein

That is the worst committing I have ever seen. You just threw him off a ten story building. You could kill him in the next post if Fitzy feels like taking the day off. Can Fitz take the day off?

Anyway, Whoo! Things are happening! And now I want to know what they are.

@Nemaisare

Fitz had a hair appointment today with Sallay Shantay.

I like to the keep 'em interesting!

[Heathen]

I should have something up by tomorrow or wednesday. Work has been a pain.

[Dirge]

Is there supposed to be a strict post order? Cause I just got done with finals so I have time to work on posts whenever I want now!!

@Dirge

Nope, no strict posting order.

[Stein]

So, @Dirge

@Heathen
@Nemaisare
@Natty

How would you all like to ideally grow your characters? Not necessarily just power-wise, but them as a person?

[Dirge]

@Lord WraithSweet, I'll probably have something up tomorrow or the next day.

@Stein I honestly want Eric to grow into someone comparable to Reed Richards. I want him to just become insanely innovative and start pushing science in directions that don't really exist in this universe yet. But I want him to kind of come out of his shell through crime fighting also. If that makes sense. He'll get more confident in himself as a person outside of science through it.

[Natty]

@Stein just gunna wing it yolo Personally I'd like to see Amir becoming a vigilante, as despite striving to help people regularly, he hasn't had much experience yet. In turn, i'd like his "relationship" with Cthulhu to develop a bit more, with them beginning to talk a lot more in a similar way to Jaime and his scarab, although in this case a lot more arguments about right and wrong. Cthulhu will always be nagging at him, especially during combat etc, and I'd like to have Amir even being tempted by it at points and maybe in the future actually succumbing to temptation

[Natty]

I have an exam next week so I'd like to prioritize the weekend to revising for that. I want to get another post up before then so I'll begin work on it tonight, although don't expect it until tomorrow or friday!

@Stein
I feel like Andrew’s where I want him to be at just this moment. He’s in limbo right now, both appreciative of what he’s got while feeling like he’s settling rather than satisfied. But since he doesn’t know for sure what he wants, he’s afraid to risk what he has by taking any other road than the one he’s already on. Since he doesn’t know how any changes will affect what he’s got. I guess he’s trying to keep the status quo.

The problem being that he probably can’t be a university groundskeeper forever, and Janelle will be moving on with her life in a year or three and so will everyone else in the crowd he pals around with now.

And, I think, right now, he needs a boost to become a bit more confident in himself and his ability to weather life’s challenges. He’s learned some, of course, with his heart, but that’s a very specific challenge that has limited his life for quite some time and I think that’s the point he needs to step past. Since he’s used to thinking ‘if I can’t do that, then I won’t, no harm, no foul,’ instead of trying to find alternative solutions. I’m imagining the superhero thing as being the point where he decides to put his foot down and keep trying, because it feels like that’s the sort of thing you should do when you’ve grown up in a city the Mavericks protected and happen to have powers.

I don’t know where that’ll take him, as I’m not sure if he could realistically take up crime fighting or if he’d even think it’s for him if he does get through the first few rough patches. But at the end of the day, I’m hoping it’ll leave him with a better understanding of what’s been holding him back, greater confidence, probably a few moral issues to figure out, good friends, and the opportunity to at least be a behind the scenes supporter. But he definitely needs something to shake him out of his complacency. Where things go from there, I’m still working out. :P
