Character Name & Journal: David "Prodigy" Alleyne Guild Affiliation: Guardian Alliance Plot/CR Hooks: The stuff below are all general. Specific event stuff will be with the plot ideas. -David's a genius, a technopath, and psychometric. In the long run that means if you're aware of any of these things, or can get pointed at him through guild or other underground contacts, David can serve as a consult on a lot of functions. Need into a computer system you're not going to get past on your own and you know there isn't a technopath or AI guarding it? Come up with a good enough reason and David will help get you in. Need to know the history of an object to confirm if it was involved in a theft/dastardly plan/world ending ritual, talk to David (and help him with the pain that comes after if it's magical). -While David's with the Alliance, he also is pretty chill about crimes that affect major companies or places that are insured, provided no one is hurt. But if your crimes (or heroics) are likely to hurt innocents (especially in Excelsior) and you want/need a foil (or someone to help stop baddies that are doing this), look to David, he can hinder, or help.
Character Motivations: David wants to stay here and build a life. At the same time, he's quietly researching a few things in the background. Short Term -Making Power Suppression Devices for those unaffiliated metas who might want/need them (since they don't have guild support) -Identifying/Helping Metas with disabilities/need assistive devices -Someone to get him to have more silly fun. David goes mad without silly chaos things, and he needs people willing to drag him out into that (especially with him on the outs with his best friend)
Long Term -Finding a way to send Metas who want it home. -Establishing his own home/life here. -Rivalry. David needs someone (or someones) to help drive him. These can be allies, rivalries in his own fields of specialty of tech, or someone truly trying to fight him. He needs it for growth. -Someone to help push him deeper into guild politics (and perhaps a personal conflict with Winters because fun)
Potential Roles: David's a bit of a tech whiz and genius. Because of his psychomimetric abilities, he has spent a lot of his time growing up absorbing knowledge, so he often serves as an expert in different areas of science/knowledge. He also tends to get a bit superior. If people don't mind potentially developing a lasting slightly negative CR, and you need that friend that is going to get all 'I told you not to do that' sometimes, then David's a good friend to meet. What he isn't, though, is a leader. He prefers a support role, serving as a second to someone truly in charge. He hasn't gotten involved deeply in guild concerns yet, but when he does he's going to have a role of the voice of opposition, sometimes talking about how whether what a villain is doing is really right or wrong and how mandating rules to
Plot Ideas: Okay, onto Event Ideas! -Booth Time! David will be attending the convention as a representative of Adaptech, an Excelsior company specializing in prosthetics and assistive technology. As one of the newer employees (and better at being social than many of his coworkers), he's been sent to pitch their work and do displays of enhanced prosthetics and voice-response tech they've been working on. Could be a good place to come if your character needs adaptive assistance (or just help using their cell phone or other tech). Also who doesn't want to shake hands with a robotic arm? Or lose to it in an arm wrestling match? -VR Experience! You'd think a technopath would be immune to being overtaken in the sim. You're VERY WRONG. David's going to be more vulnerable, perhaps even the first caught up in it. I'm thinking I want him to be someone with lots of emotional/interpersonal connections, so he can bounce off of just about anyone. Former lovers or best friends, rivals and enemies, it's all good. I will take any tags for this people want, including with new CR. David will be randomized into the role of a super villain named Thunderclap who was not seen again after that day, either dead or retired. He was known to be a villain who wanted to take over the world as he thought it was destroying itself and he was the only one who could save it, by ruling it. A very 'ends justify the means' sort of guy. Once he was a hero who believed that good will and understanding and patience could fix things, but over time and watching villains come back over and over again he took on a bleaker outlook and started to believe his rule was the only answer. HIs powers may also have driven him a TOUCH mad. I want deep, emotionally intense situations, hatred or love or concern, and I want to enjoy the awkwardness that might come from those first encounters later, or from how it might make him and established CR just feel nervous. The role was probably one where he decided the 'best' way to handle things was just to kill Starstruck, period. Even fighting people he cares about to achieve this, because it's hard to take over the world for it's own sake when it's destroyed.
Roles Needed: -Booth Roles Needed: Just about anyone is good for this. People who want to test their strength against a robotic arm, people who want a quick look over of their prosthetics or other onboard tech, or people that just want to talk to the clearly social guy behind the booth table that might look slightly bored. Just a good general way to meet him or remeet David if you know him.
-VR Experience Roles Needed: Literally anyone. This one I'd prefer to talk to someone about before tagging in to their stuff, or being tagged to. I want a rough idea of what these made up past heroes had as an awareness or connection to each other. Would they try and talk his character down? Would they try and stop him with force? Are they trying to help his villain stop the end of the world? Are they compromising their own morals to help him? Do they kiss? Have they kissed before? This is all good. But since David's going to be fully taken over, he's going to believe all of it 100% right from the word go and so this can lead to some fun/awkward stuff before other people start to fall under the sway of the corrupted program. David will be in the role of Thunderclap, a former hero turned 'pragmatic' villain who came to believe the only way to save the world was to unite it under his rule. He was in the game for a while and had a lot of previous relationships with people, and when he 'switched sides' it would have been a matter of public controversy in its own way.
