As most everybody probably knows by now, we’re just about to enter the phase of the MHMRA plot where the proverbial poop will be hitting the fan. As such, we wanted to run through some plot basics and make sure everyone was on the same page.
If you volunteered to have a special position in the plot, please see below the cut for more deets.
If you didn’t volunteer, check out below the cut anyway because details am important, yo.
We had so many people volunteering to help out with this plot that our only regret is that we couldn’t find appropriate ways to accommodate everyone’s enthusiasm but we do want everyone to have a chance to make an impact on the plot- so even if you aren’t specifically listed below, we’d love to hear all of your ideas on what your characters are doing to help bring down Mr. Luthor Nastypants.
Without further ado, here we go:
Sweet-Talkers: Greer Grant-Nelson, Jessica Drew, Sue Richards and Tora Olafsdotter Your job will be to talk to mutants/metas who have not registered and to convince them nicely to register. Hit up your fellow players to see who might be interested in having you chat them up. Remember to check out the Registration List to see who is in violation of the law. Do you want to be a sweet-talker and weren’t included in this list? Poke some mods, leave a note here or drop box and we’d love to add you to the group!
Enforcers Jessica Drew, Felicia Hardy Your job will be to convince unregistered metas/mutants to register by whatever means necessary-- including fisticuffs. Remember to check out the Registration List to see who is in violation of the law (and needs you to loosen a few of their teeth). Do you want to be an enforcer and weren’t included in this list? Poke some mods, leave a note here or drop box and we’d love to add you to the group!
Catalyst Wanda Maximoff Your job will be to attack the White House/President, thus creating an atmosphere of distrust towards mutants/metas and giving Luthor an opportunity to further his evil, evil agenda. Mods will be emailing you with further details regarding your role as the Catalyst.
Camp Escapees: Tommy Shepherd, Teddy Altman Your job to get arrested, taken to the mutant/meta-human camps and, after discovering the horrific conditions that mutants and meta-humans are living in, escape from the camp and bring these discoveries to light through the media, fellow heroes, and any other networks at your disposal.
DNA Enthusiasts Bruce Wayne, Miguel O’Hara, Peter Parker, Susan Richards Your job is to analyze the genetic samples you will be receiving, then bring your discoveries forward. There are three discoveries that will be made concerning these samples (some of which may be more or less relevant to your characters): 1) that mutant/meta-human DNA taken from prisoners in the camps is being refined and weaponized in order to grant the user temporary access to superhuman powers (think MGH in Marvel Comics) 2) that the tested/manipulated DNA is also being cut and sold on the streets as an illegal recreational drug and 3) that the manipulated DNA is being tested upon non-meta/mutant prisoners out of Blackgate, Iron Heights, and other Federal Penitentiaries. Mods will be emailing you with further details regarding your specific roles as DNA enthusiasts.
I Know What You Did Harley Quinn, Oracle, Maria Hill, Lois Lane Your job is to discover things that Luthor would rather keep secret. There are two secrets that will come to light through these investigations: 1) that Luthor is selling unaltered mutant/metahuman DNA to Victor von Doom and 2) that Luthor orchestrated the attack on the White House perpetrated by Wanda Maximoff. For these two goals, your group has been split into two teams that will work together to make these discoveries. Harley and Oracle will put together Luthor’s connection with Doom; while Maria and Lois will investigate the attack on the White House. Mods will be emailing you with further details regarding your specific roles as part of the I Know What You Did group.
Fighters Felicia Hardy Your job will be to stand and fight when the disgruntled superheroes (and American Public at large) come demanding Luthor’s resignation. You may be doing this for money, or recognition, or because Luthor has your family in a camp, or maybe because you just think it’s the right thing. Your motives are up to you- but your job remains the same. Do you want to be a fighter and weren’t included in this list? Poke some mods, leave a note here or drop box and we’d love to add you to the group!
And that’s it folks. Sweet-Talkers should feel free to do their job starting now and continuing throughout the plot. Enforcers will start busting down doors May 1. The Catalyst will also perform her attempted attack on the White House on May 1st. Everyone else should feel free to stretch their roles out however long is reasonable.
Are you not on one of these lists? Don’t worry, there’s still plenty to do. Get with mods or other players to hash out plots for your specific characters; or volunteer for one of the above groups that is still taking volunteers.
As always, questions can be directed to mods here, via mod email or at the drop box. If you IM us questions, please understand that it may take some time to get back to you about them, as we have to run back and forth and talk to each other first.
