I stumbled across some of those character development survey things and thought it might be fun to do to like, idk, get in touch with our characters where they are now. I remember doing a 100 question one waaaay back when. This one is only 30. I got it from rp_tutorials. Feel free to answer the questions as your character. Have fun.

This can be like a normal plotting post, but actually it is also a post for a plot.
YEAH, THAT MAKES SENSE.


So we all know Wanda has a time machine, right? Well, she does. You're welcome. It's supposed to be an extended plot where she and various comrades find Infinity Gems, but so far she's only found the Soul Gem and Tony took it because he's an asshole. So that's where we're at.

Coming up, Tony returns to the scene of the crime to play with the time machine some more. THAT'S WHERE YOU COME IN. Shortly, Tony's going to pop over to Wanda's place only to witness another Tony from an alternate dimension come out of the machine. NewTony looks normal enough and no one is that worried until Tony goes through the machine himself, thus trading dimensional places with NewTony and shutting down the machine until he can find the Infinity Gem, as per the comic logic that dictated our last Gem adventure.
Still with me?
NewTony has to take Tony's place until they can figure this all out, because no one can know Wanda has a time machine in case Hammer finds out, finds her, and uses them both for his own sinister plans. That seems reasonable enough until NewTony starts doing really fucked up things.
MEANWHILE, in an alternate dimension, Tony meets NewEveryoneElse (that's you). Welcome to the universe where everyone is Evil with a capital E! Consider role reversal as well, so your Lokis and Magnetos might be on the side of justice. Piss to them, though, because Director Fury is in charge and has killed enough orphans to have a bazillion dollars or something. EVIL.

THAT MEANS THERE'S TWO PLOTTHREADS TO PLAY IN.
The first is set in this universe, where NewTony is confusing everyone by being slightly more antisocial than usual and becoming a nuisance. Is this a mystery to solve or do you just stop taking his calls?
The second is an alternate timeline where your characters are possibly morally bankrupt versions of themselves, going about their business of kicking puppies and twirling their moustaches. Some of them might be dealing with this wimpy, uncharacteristically empathetic Tony who keeps sneaking around in SHIELD and is just asking to have his ass kicked.

This isn't set in stone. If any of it makes sense, please, contribute your thoughts, explore the options, tear down the pieces that don't work and reinforce them with better ideas. If it doesn't make sense, ask questions.
Most importantly, if you want to play, say so and more exciting stories will grow from this strange, moldy bread of a plot.

EDIT: wow maybe I should have mentioned how this ends. Maybe? ULTIMATE MORAL QUESTION: Once the Tonys are returned to their home universes, do the good heroes of this one do battle with the evil powermongers of the alternate dimension to save the good citizens from their tyranny? Or do we leave them to solve their own problems instead of disrupting their natural progression?

LMAO THERE ARE SO MANY TAGS I'm using them all
