Hello, Aftermathers! Shaw checking in. I felt the need to inform you all that I have indeed killed Ra (![[info]](https://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) sun_god) and that the Hellfire Club will be coming for your holes to a city near you. Read all about it here. |

We're still accepting applications. Savvy?

P.S. Feel free to post your vampire characters being up and about after their recovery periods in the infirmary. Rob and I wrote up Logan/Storm on October 11th, and there's a Beast post for the 10th. They should set the pace. There are several things beside the physical changes the vampires might experience, and your characters could maximize one or several. Aggression, enhanced sex drive, paranoia, apathy, anti-social tendencies... Choose your weapon. |

Okay. I need everyone involved to please post their characters ASAP in the Cure Mission Thread. Even if you're out of turn, please post their responses and progressive actions to ensure things move along. The Darkseekers are NPCs. Feel free to use them as you'd like, so long as whoever is supposed to get bitten does. We can't keep posting in turn the way that would normally happen, because everyone's schedules are so chaotic. Please post there when you have any chance at all. Since I play both Scott and Storm and they've both been posted twice, I wanted to give everyone a chance to get their responses in before progressing things.
I was really hoping this thread would be finished, or at least at it's climax now. There are so many more interesting things that could be happening and I really believe we need to actually write this mission out. We started mid-way, guys. We can write this out. If you have any questions or concerns, reply here. Poppy, you e-mailed about posting Kitty - go for it. Whenever you'd like. If there aren't any more posts than there currently are, have her reply anyway.
If anyone is confused or has forgotten what was to happen, check the Mission Outline again. It's been nearly 2 weeks since that thread was posted, folks. I wanna get things moving with the new plot. Please and thank you!

I am Sebastian Shaw. You may call me 'your Majesty'. For the record, I like long walks on the beach and offing homo sapiens. I will soon be overtaking your role playing experience, so I thought it only fair to let you know, at least.
I am a vampire and I like it that way. My Hellfire Club is being rebuilt as you read this (you can read, yes?) and together we will overtake this ragtag, rubbish-filled excuse for a planet and refine the status of life for our kind. Mutants, of course. If you'd care to join me, I'm accepting applications for extremely powerful, obedient mutants who are also vampires. Qualify?
Probably not.

P.S. Mudbloods need not apply. |

VAMPIRE MISSION
This isn't an official 'tag!', so if you'd prefer your character to not be involved with this ordeal, then please let me know. If you would, and they are listed, comment with your thoughts, questions and/or concerns!
WHO IS GOING (OR POSSIBLY GOING):
Colossus
Cyclops
Mars
Northstar
Psylocke
Shadowcat
Storm
OBJECTIVE:
Locate and detain infected humans en masse. Administer radiation-based cure (via gun-type weapons).
DIFFICULTIES ARISE:
Specific group of Darkseekers found are wise to cure-efforts and have planned an ambush. X-Men are rushed by massive numbers - are clawed, bitten and ravished. Kitty would have to get bitten straight away - her training suggests she phases at the slightest noise, etc. Colossus would come next, just before turning metal. Psylocke, Storm, Northstar and Mars would be last. Psylocke could help push back the infected mentally. Loads of possibilities.
FOR THE WIN?
There will be relief! There is a surprise resolution to this whole, horrible ordeal that will both please and shock! So, beware! |

| Hey! Updates. |
[Aug. 14th, 2008|06:26 am] |
Have a few updates for all you fine folks!
I really need to get some feedback on the vampire storyline, so lemme know what you're thinking by commenting here or in the previous OOC post so far as your thoughts go on the subject and what sort of plot you'd prefer for your specific character(s) where the vampire theme is concerned.
I made a list of Birthdays/Zodiac Signs: Here.
Rob is going to introduce a new character ASAP - sentient_. He's an original and some of you might remember him from over at GJ. He hasn't been played in a while and we thought he could use some dusting off. A quick run-down on Sentient/Conlan: He's 20, has been at Xavier's for 5 or so years, he's an 'animator' (so far as his mutation is concerned) and he is Mars/Ronan's younger brother.
We lost Mel, who was the player of Quicksilver, Aurora and Shock. So, those characters are now open again, and have been removed from the lists, etc.
Okay - VAMPIRES. If you haven't let me know which of your characters you planned to have turn or be involved, please please please do so. If you'd prefer not to participate actively with that plot theme, that's fine too. I just need to know either way. Please keep in mind that one vampire per four character guideline. So if you have eight characters, you could technically play two vampires, etc. Our thoughts on the beginnings of this particular storyline...
We were hoping that 90% of the vampires to be turned could be in a horrible failure of a mission together where all but one or two people get bitten/scratched. There is a bit of yet-to-be-mentioned plot for the element of surprise. I'll bring it up as we get closer to the time to start threads. As far as the timeline goes, I really hope that we can fast forward to October. Two months after the prom - plenty of time for the X-Men to get going with administering the cure. This is going to be done with gun-like weapons that were developed by some of the science guys where they were able to concentrate the radiation-like output of the machine (found on the Washington DC mission) into rays. So, mutants that go on these missions have to have a great deal of control and need to be trusted by all other members of the teams. It's not likely many Brotherhood members would be going on these missions, for more than one reason. The weapons are heavily protected within the complex. The government has been contacted about a cure, however, they were not given information about the specific method. By the time we start threads, society will be taking the first steps to getting back on its feet. Normal humans would be beginning to rally together and the specific governments of different countries are beginning to take charge once more (battling rebels and rogue mutants all the while). I'd really prefer the focus to be less on curing infected humans (as we're trying to skip over that part) and more on society and social issues and the condition that will be overtaking some of our X-Men and other mutants throughout the world.
Lastly, just so it's clear, these vampires are not the undead sort. So, they can go longer without needing human blood, they have no need to 'feed' before having sexual interactions (males) and they have reflections in mirrors, etc.
So, gimme some feedback, any kind.

Hey folks! I want to get some feedback on the plot now that we've decided what to do (majority says 'vampires!', btw).
So, A) please tell me which of your character(s) for sure you would like to have become vampires and B) if anyone objects to a multi-character mission where the majority of them would get turned. A Darkseeker ambush, maybe. Or some other such fun. Thoughts? I think that that would be scary, personally.
Anyhow, this is one of the last steps to climb before getting the plot going, so please comment with your responses! Thanks,
-Beck
CONFIRMED VAMPIRES:
BECK: STORM, ?

| Vampire Poll Results! |
[Aug. 6th, 2008|09:33 pm] |
And remember, this was just for fun. I wanted to see who everyone wanted to read about being vampires. So if this helps anyone's decision-making process, all the better. But it's interesting to look at nonetheless. I fixed it up so that the votes from random LJ member #3012 aren't included. So these are the honest to goodness results from the 7 members currently playing. :D

Ahem. Anyway, I was bored (as was Rob) about ten minutes ago and with the knowledge we gathered from speaking to everyone and a bit of our own input, we made a poll over on LiveJournal (because I can't make polls on InsaneJournal, because I will not give them money, because they are insane). It's a list of characters that would make fun candidates for vampiracy. There's at least one character from each player on the list, and I'd like whoever votes to pick out seven (7!) characters they think would work best (or worst?) as vampires. lol Whoever you think would be interesting. You have to log in to LiveJournal, but I know most of you have accounts over there from our ALMOST switch. So if you have a minute or you're bored, go check it out (& PLEASE don't vote for your own characters. Thank you!):
LJ POLL. XD

| So... plot suggestions. |
[Aug. 3rd, 2008|07:01 am] |
With out cure virus plot coming to a close, I wanted to pitch a few ideas and see if anything spoke to anyone. We've all discussed things happening in the future before, so far as plot goes. Sentinels and what not, etc. Here are some other things to consider, some or none of which have to happen. It's up to you guys. But I think either of these (or both at once!) storylines would rock.
First: ( There's Ra. )
Second: ( Vampires? )
Please let me know what you think - any and everyone. Even if some of this has been mentioned to you before. I'm lookin' at you, Cathy. Comment! We (everyone!) like you. Really. Let us know you're alive via OOC. lol <3 Discuss amongst yourselves.
