Nell Booker, Plot(s)

[Nell Booker]

Hey guys, Req here. So I'm gonna be getting back into the game sometime soon. I figured it would be a good idea to go ahead and maybe try to collect my thoughts and write down what I want to do with Nell and my somewhat built plot(s).

1. The first part of my plans is to do your general RP threads, character building stuff, fun threads between people just bumping into each other like we all do from time to time. Planned threads are good, but I might do the occasional open sign up threads, so be on the lookout for those.

2. The next part of my plans would be to take a look back at Eclipse's bygone plots and important moments, like the April 2010 event, for example. That moment changes everything for the site's history, in-game and out, so I figured I would revisit it in particular. That said, I've got an idea to either make a lot of little threads that touch upon a lot of the big events, or maybe just make one massive thread that goes through the plot of the site from April 2010 and onward to this point. Keeps everything contained and easy to refer to, so be looking for that as well.

3a. The final part of my plans involves the future of the site, kinda-ish. I'm not trying to muscle in on the site-wide plots going on or trying to alter them, but I would like to get involved, you know? Because of that, I wanna work towards possibly creating another faction, though I fully understand if this can't be done because I know for a fact that we were maybe possibly having trouble with too many factions running around and not enough love and attention was paid towards them. If that's still a major worry, then I can do what I have planned differently and not rock the boat. If it is alright for me to make a new faction, what I want to do is make a full on Hero faction (though of course your character doesn't have to have been a Hero officially to join the group). I know we have those, good factions do exist on the site, that's for sure. That said, this specific "Hero faction" would be one that's sorta like the Avengers or the Justice League, but with an activist/volunteer bend to it beyond just fighting teh badd gais and stopping evil villains. I was mainly inspired by the plot I've read so far about the famine and the cholera outbreak. In the past, you wouldn't normally see all of the characters that I saw in those threads working together to make the world a better place and that was really cool. So I figured I would do something similar to that, but in my own fashion.

3b. The details of the faction are still being worked on, like a good name for it, who would run it in the world of the game, things like that. What I do know so far is that all of my old characters, specifically Chloe, Roland, and Daria are all coming back in some form. Nell is my main character now, but my original characters are most likely going to become NPCs for me to use here and there. I do have long reaching goals for my little group of characters, but of course, long reaching goals being what they are, I've gotta do all the stuff between then and now. Because of this, I'd like to see who's interested in maybe getting involved with a group like this. I'd also like to know what site wide plot stuff this might affect, along with anything I should probably know in general. Just anything you feel is pertinent to share, honestly, even if that means you tell me your flossing habits, haha.

If anyone has use for a group like the one I'm making, wants to post in past major events of Eclipse, or just wants to do some general RPing, I'm down to clown. Come on in and let's get some plot stuff situated while I wait to get reviewed!

[Jack Murdock]

A pity you left the site, Nell. This is something Jack would have love to do. But alas .

[Nell Booker]

I'm back. You can call me Req.

I'll have to hit up CX and fix the plot I had there, maybe make it not so big as it was before, but still. If you're interested, this is still going to happen.

[Helena Rahal]

If Nell has a reason to be in Hawaii, Alexandria could use a thread. In case you've forgot, she's a pilot, ex USAF and Elite operative, now married to Gabriel and mother of twins Athena and Demeter. She's quirky and very much a type A personality. Don't let her looks and skills fool you though, underneath it all there is a very intelligent and calculating mind, with the capability from empathy to insanity.

[Nell Booker]

I'm super tired, I can't think of a reason for her to be down there. That's not saying I won't be able to, but just that right now, I'm bushwhacked and it'll take me awhile, lol. I'll let you know this weekend when I come up with something, though feel free to give me any ideas you have as well. I'm open to whatever

[Fallon Daugherty]

I don't have any characters on the site that would be interested in the faction, as I play nearly all villains. But if you're looking for a bit of conflict, here are a few of mine that could help with that.

(Copied from Joc's thread. And, like I told him, I only have room for one more thread. I'm taking a chance on this one, but I have a couple of threads ending soon anyway.)

Marshall Quatrevaux - Jung Facility's lead psychiatrist. He has adopted Sammie Kroner as his daughter with his fiancée, Jessica Conelly. He is extremely protective, and while he is usually very calm and friendly, he does have a dark side; and, being that he's a very powerful Special, it's best not to test that side.

Crystalynn Fosterman - an NPC. She's very upbeat and social. As a doctor for the Jung Facility's emergency care wing, she is often busy, but she always has fun in her free time.

Irma Broussard - also an NPC. Level-headed and slow to anger, Irma hails from New Orleans like Marshall, and is also close friends with him (they share a telepathic link). Like the above, she works for Jung, but on both the psychology and medical sides.

Fallon Daugherty - Ark Industries' PR rep. Sometimes a cool and fun person, usually a complete bitch. She has an absurd amount of appreciation for schadenfreude. Also a Special, but less likely to use her abilities to harm, unless someone drives her up a wall.

Sayeva Reardon - The calming and flowing influence in what would probably otherwise be a madhouse. She is an extremely long-lived Special, at somewhere around 1832 years old, and is a shapeshifter. She works as a freelance journalist, but spends most of her time caring for her family in San Diego.

Jordan Mercer - Formerly a very active and outgoing young man, he is now far less extroverted and tolerant due to the death of his girlfriend and his role in it. These days, it is easy to tip him over the edge, and he is not hesitant about using his abilities to do serious damage. He lives in Las Vegas with his self-declared "mentor," Lilka (of the Rahals), but travels back and forth to New York.

Christian Moynahan - the current CEO of Ark Industries. He can be aloof or he can be entertaining, whatever the situation calls for. He is the "wild card" of my bunch - sometimes a cold-hearted bastard, sometimes a venerated hero, but by his account, an ordinary man with few loyalties. Also part of the "Holy Trinity," he has picked up a lot of publicity due to his position and his role in recent events. Due to said events, it is now widely known that he is a Special.

[Nell Booker]

Characters don't have to be in the Hero faction to join this one, when and if it gets off the ground (I might hold off on the faction overall until much further down the line, so it'll essentially just be a growing plot over the next few months, far as I can tell). Really, characters just have to want to do something to help their own part of the world. I got inspired by the idea that a whole bunch of characters could come together, despite their differences, to stop a horrible disease or prevent an actual famine in America. That was super cool to read, so I figured I'd tweak that idea some and turn it into a faction. If you look at the Avengers, yeah, sure, I might list all of them as Heroes and not Villains, but even still, I'm sure Black Widow and Hawkeye, even though they're great, aren't the most heroic people. I'm sure they've killed innocents while on a mission or two for SHIELD, maybe? That's mainly conjecture though since they've never shown us that in the MCU, haha.

But yeah, Hero characters, definitely welcome, Neutrals also definitely welcome, Villains, while needing a little assistance, definitely welcome as well. It's not so much their faction that I'm worried about, but that they have a good reason to maybe possibly put on a mask and help people, or even not put on a mask, just help people in general, even if their reasons are selfish or if they had been forced into the faction because of reasons, lol.

- - -

But yeah, beyond the faction thing, I'm still just looking for normal plots. If there's any open threads that anyone could point me to, I'd love to see those. If there's anyone who wants to plot directly with me, like Chell and Rayne have offered, then totally do that. If anyone needs a character like Nell for a plot or to serve a purpose of some sort, hit me up here with a post in this thread, in a PM, a pop, whatever you fancy. I like carrier pigeon as well.

Rayne, I'll think up who I want Nell to thread with soon and if need be, we can wait a bit to do it so your thread load is smaller and you won't be so stressed out.

Chell, I can just say Nell's going on vacation and she decides to get as far away from anything that could be considered the Frozen North as possible. We could do a "oops, we bumped into each other, let's chat" type of thread like in ye olden times, haha, or we can plan a specific thing to happen with the two of them. I certainly have a good reason for her to be down there though because Nell's got a lot of relaxing to do after that backstory I gave her, lol.

Everyone else, I do still really want to do some flashback threads to major moments in Eclipse's history. There's plenty of things we can do, plenty of events, so if you have a preference of events you'd like to mess with, let me know. I'm partial to just starting from the beginning, or at least near the beginning for me with the April 2010 incident, but if anyone has anything else they'd like to do, we can do that. Going chronologically would be a good idea though if we plan to do more of these flashback threads.

But yeah, plots! Stuff! Fantastico!

[Helena Rahal]

I would say not exactly a bump and chat thread per se, but bumping into each other and doing something. I have two things in mind, which I will keep tucked away and wait until the time is right to give you the option. If you don't mind making the thread though, having Nell on the beach of the "big" island of Hawaii chain, aptly the island that is named Hawaii. xD
