CR MEME | JUNE PLOT ROLLS


Hi, everyone! Two parts to today’s party:

JUNE JAZZ


Check out our latest plot roll & NPC thread options for June, for which you’ll receive full details on Wednesday, 22 June. You can sign up your characters for the quest of your choice until 18:00 GMT on 21 June.

■ We’ll need at least two characters signed up for a roll to carry it out. Quests that receive more than five sign-ups may need us to RNG a character who gets final call on any decision-making within the quest.

■ Try to be available to play things out with your quest-mates between 22 June – 5 July.

■ If you’re looking short on time in that period, it might be easier to offer support to characters who are leading a plot roll, without signing up.

Please share the information you get with the group at large through network posts.


As a heads-up for folks who’ve never done one of these — you may get offered follow-up quests, items or plot development because you helped out with a plot roll. You can always opt out of that.

CHARACTER & CANON: Marcos Diaz aka Eclipse / The Gifted

THEIR ONE-SENTENCE ELEVATOR PITCH: Long-suffering mutant dad with a soap opera's worth of relationship baggage and flashlight hands.
HOW THEY END A TERRIBLE DATE: Hey he's a romantic, he has Great Dates, but also he is prone to storming off as the situation calls if the date takes a dark turn. Actual experience flipping tables.
THE (SPITEFUL?) THOUGHT THAT GETS THEM THROUGH THE DAY: That he and Lorna are going to go back home to their infant daughter someday and forget all about how terrible this place is.

WHAT’S THE EASIEST WAY TO
...IRRITATE THEM: He's a mutant so he has a lot of your assorted Mutant Baggage, if he sees anyone being openly persecuted or bullied he's jumping right on that. Refusing to work as a team.
...EARN THEIR AFFECTION: Marcos warms up to people pretty easily, especially if he can tell that they've had a rough life. Showing any sort of kindness to strangers and he'll probably like you. Be nice to Lorna. Any mention of kids...
...SHOCK THEM: Marcos is not magical, all kinds of stuff here shocks him. Lately in a good way! You guys stopped a volcano he's not over it.

WHAT SHIP DO THEY MOSTLY HANG OUT ON? The Pariah, he goes where Lorna goes okay.

WHAT ARE THEY UP TO? He hasn't done too much on the travel arc yet, but he might start asking around soon about wtf is going on here and if they need to be worried about getting cursed again. Wondering if the Merchant is manipulating them, etc.

CR/SCENARIOS YOU WANT: Happy for anything, but the guy is pretty capable and works good in a team so he's mostly been a support player. He'd be great to bond over missing family, bad home situations, religion, yadda yadda. Come at him if you need backup for danger plans. Marcos has a talent for dealing with unsavory people of questionable morals, and I haven't played with that too much, so do feel free to conspire with him as you like.

i will take EITHER marcos or five (BOTH??). marcos was nice to viktor so he probably wants to, you know, repay that if he ever needs a science guy for anything

but also viktor and five should talk about science. and magic. but mostly science.

Both! Marcos is a good guy, he'd want to check in on him from time to time you know. Viktor seems like the kind of person he needs to look out for ahem.

And 1000% yes. Five needs to talk. Let him explain the logic of teleporting and time travel, he might be one of the few to get it. He obviously needed someone with a bent towards real physics to finally solve this 'how to magic' thing he's been so stuck on. It will definitely only lead to great things.

he'll get it. he kind of invented teleportation back home? so he'll be interested in doing a little compare contrast you know

Excellent. Yes. Great. Five will want to hear all about how he did it. They need to go on a date with a piece of chalk and a big blank wall, nobody bother them until they run out of space.
