The special hating ex-company Italian is back in New York and I'd love to get started once again on plots and get a few threads going!
Any takers?
Let's edit this bad boy.
Alessandro is an Italian. An Italian! Jesus that's cool. Speaking of, he is from a heavily religious family. And his family was quite weird.. In that, a couple of them were specials. Alessandro wasn't. He thought it strange.
When he was young, the company did a bag and tag in his sibling. So the only thing to do was, obviously, join them. Yeah, join the people who kidnapped a member of his family. Smart.
Turns out, it was. He became a badass and grew up actually hating specials. Though he was kind of s father to a certain Alice Taylor. You know the one. Maybe you don't. But you should.
Anyhow, years passed, he beat the shit out of his partner Ryan Alcroft and got fired. But did he care? No! He went back to Italy, found himself and came back to NY to beat up more specials and find Alice.

JoC, you know that's not nearly enough of a description to get anyone interested in Alessandro. I wouldn't even know what he was like except that I reviewed his bio. My memory's not that good, lol, and we do have new players.
I only have room for one more thread right now, so choose wisely.
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.
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.
Gabriel Constant - part con man, but mostly devoted husband and father. He is one of the "Holy Trinity" of the business world, along with Lucius Kilvayne (Laz) and Christian Moynahan (below). His aims reach far beyond the business world, however, but his plans are a complete mystery. Also a Special, with non-offensive abilities, but that doesn't mean he can't kick ass.
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.

Oh I know, I just don't have a pc atm and editing in bbcode on my phone is a pain in the backside. That being said, I will be updating it when I can.
Also, I'm thinking Fallon or Gabriel.
My reasoning is I vaguely remember alessandro and Gabriel bumping heads though how they did had escaped me. With gal, I just think their personalities would clash and could be interesting.
As to the how, I'm thinking something along the lines of using their connections to help find Alice? Or they could just bump into each other.
Post by Christian Moynahan on Feb 25, 2014 0:13:03 GMT -5
Either one would be fine. I'm not the sort for "coffee shop first meetings," however, so it'll have to be something more interesting than that.
I'm sorry to say that I definitely don't remember Gabriel clashing heads with Alessandro. In fact, I don't even remember Alessandro being around at the same time as Gabriel.
Also, Alice isn't lost. The Company (and others) are well aware that she is helping the Allies fight the Dominion.

Yes we will definitely plot later on.
Alice isn't super hard to find. She became an actress and was famous for a while, but she hasn't done any movies lately because baby. I think most of the active characters here can help you get in touch with Alice again.

I was thinking more along the lines of because fal is a PR rep for ark, ales would look for her for help with finding Alice as he knows ark is involved with specials?
They were definitely around at the same time, but I must have misremembered them meeting. Perhaps they spoke on the ark chat Xbox thing or something. Sorry.
and I knew she isn't lost; but aless had been a recluse so isn't exactly up to date on current affairs. again, sorry I wasn't clear.

Cx; I think that would be great. As said, alessandro has been a bit of a recluse so I wouldn't have expected him to know she's an actress. Though I think it'd be cool if the press found out about their relationship and question them about it?

And both of you; thanks for the replies, it's great people are wanting to plot with alessandro! ;D

Hmm. If you're wanting help finding Alice, Fallon would not be a great choice. She has no reason to help find Alice, and as I mentioned, she's pretty much a bitch. As a company, Ark has taken a neutral stance on Specials vs civilians and does not have any particular reason to help either side. (Christian does because Alice views him as a big-brother figure, but then, Christian already knows exactly where Alice is.)
As for Gabriel, if you have any particular ideas for how they could meet, that would work. Looking for Alice would be a very short thread, since Gabe's secondary is location scrying. But any other interesting thing might work.
Post by Alessandro Moretti on Feb 25, 2014 14:34:57 GMT -5
Hmmm, well perhaps we should drop the whole alice deal for now and focus on development.. You say Christian is like a big-brother to Alice? I see potential conflict down the line cos of this???
As for Gabriel, I can't think of anything right now but I've a thought for Christian.
He's the CEO of Ark and I'm assuming that's public knowledge and easy to find out? Now, all Alessandro knows about Ark (as he practically isolated himself from society when he left to find his father) is that they gave him powers for a few minutes and my thinking is that, upon returning to New York, knowing the company won't take him back, Aless searches for ark (Christian) in the hopes of finding out more about how abilities work so he could try stop then (alessandro logic).
The two could arrange to meet and when Alice gets involved, tensions arise or somesuch?
I mean it needs a bit if work but that could be how the two meet?
I'm really not good with ideas when I've had one hour sleep lol.

After rereading my first post above, I've come to to the realization that Alessandro is going to clash with almost all of my characters. The only questions would be how and when.
The only two that wouldn't are Crystalynn and Sayeva unless he threatens her family for some reason. So maybe thinking along those lines won't hurt.

Long overdue reply, my computer broke and that, as well as starting a new job, has kicked me in the arse with regard to the internet but don't fear I have a plan!
I vaguely remember us having a thread but remember not where it is? I'll work it out.

I have Mike here! He's in college and works part-time at the Aquarium. he's got some history with the Company like trying to break in once and he's also an ex member of the Watchers P.I which was a group of Special Investigators but it was disbanded. Now he's just a college kid whose trying to find a purpose again since I rejoined and I'm looking for something to do for him. So if you wanted to thread them let me know, even shoot me a pm! (:

Sorry, been really sick! But it was probably like 3ish years ago. he broke in using his powers to try to get into their database because he was desperate about finding the truth about his father, he was a Company agent and villain. Grace Harper was the one who caught him but now he's completely cool with the Company. It's very possible they met because of that, he was allied with the Company ever since. He just really likes to help and lately he doesn't have much else to do, so.. yeah!

Ah, it's unlikely they know each other then as Alessandro has only just returned to New York (dec 13/jan 14 i believe) and was fired from the Company about 4 years ago... hmm..
