TAKING BACK WHAT IS OURS (bnr we just need the palace back)

[andaway]

So it's becoming obvious there's diverse groups of characters waiting to strike/get intel on the palace now that it's taken over by the big bad M, and I thought, in my comfortable fortress of solitudehiatus that a bit of organization put together could be helpful.

As far as I’m aware there’s a group that plans to approach it in a discrete way to try to gather intel, a group that plans to use magic and others who plan on trying a bit of a more, uh, direct attack so I will make headers to discuss these three groups and how each ‘attack’ would go, but keep in mind I’m not trying to lead it all or anything like that- I’m just trying to provide an easier way to discuss and plot.

Also it was suggested we use the player mission for each of these plans so the IC attack would probably go up the moment the player missions go up as well, unless groups decide they would rather not use it.

Team direct attack

[andaway]

Kal himself here would be pretty open about the idea and probably share it on the network (as SUPERMAN and not Clark), suggesting a meeting for people who could be interested to try to approach the attack this peculiar way so discussion could be pretty upfront if people are willing to meet?

Also he isn't stupid, he knows just punching it to see what happens wouldn't probably help (and he might or not might have tried already and might or might have not gotten a new skin color as a result who knows), so if you need your character to be discouraged from doing that he can help as well. This is more for an actual planned attack.

Lois would probably point out that, you know, probably Malicant can see the network and either not to do it over the network or to make it clear he's not discussing it further over the network and only in person?

Also, she will smack him if he does something stupid like punch the barrier because no way is he hiding that.

hey bru.
Costigan hates ur face, but they should probs work together to git shit dun.

[maipokerface]

Mai's no super hero or impervious being but she's not patient enough for team sneaky so I'm dropping her here.

At least she's a good marksman?

[andaway]

No powers needed at all! She'll be welcomed, specially if she's a good marksman :3 would she actively seek out others planning for this, like going to the meeting if it's advertised or the radio or things like that?

[lostundercover]

Mai could potentially join Costigan's more normal group if she wanted? Or maybe there could be a third group of agent types? idk

Re: Team direct attack

[lostundercover]

Costigan will probs lead a type of police types to work in conjuncture with the hero types.

The outline of the missions are up! could you sign up with your preferences?

Thanks!

[burnseternal]

Saint Walker is ill suited to the other two teams, so he'll be lending his services here! If any of the GLs are going to be attending, he'll probably stay fairly close-by so they can act as batteries for each other, but that's all I've got on my mind rn!

[khajidont]

Oh, and same person talking here, but an additional note: I'm going to be out of town for the latter part of this month, so as a heads up, if that's when this plot is taking place, I'm out!

[andaway]

Yay blue bro! Kal will definitely make sure he's near a Green Lantern (I think Hal is joining!). And will keep the date thing in mind, when would be the last day you could join us? :|a

[solo_patria]

At this stage, Enjolras is much more likely to push for a direct attack, and he would very much want to be part of things if possible. He has some personal reasons that he wishes to strike against Malicant as well, which could make him something of a liability. He was captured and tortured last summer, and this might make him more open to a psychic sort of attack again.

In terms of skills, he's a halfway decent fencer and a good shot, and very used to fighting. While he's usually the one who builds the barrier and defends it, he could certainly strike if he wished, and he very much does.

I am open to either having him come along, or, perhaps, having him persuaded to stay back because of the little liability issue.

[andaway]

Kal has his own issues against Malicant himself, so unless Enjolras was really obviously going to just go wild and strike at everything he wouldn't mind- and even then he would simply try to make sure he wasn't in any position to be a liability :|a

We're apparently getting decent marksmen, would he be willing to work in some kind of group?

[andaway]

The outline of the missions are up! could you sign up with your preferences?

[skeletonenigma]

Skulduggery would definitely seek out anyone suggesting this via network or word of mouth, and involve himself as much as he possibly can. This is the sort of thing he used to do during wartime, so he's well-suited for it and has some kickass magical fighting abilities besides.

He's already tried going through the barrier, so... well, his bones are going to be purple. So he can also function as a kind of deterrent for other people.

[andaway]

Awweesome! What kind of magical fighting abilities? And would he be open about them or kind of hiding them until he must use them to fight? :|a

[animosus]

HECK YEAH TEAM PUNCH THINGS UNTIL THEY STAY DOWN

[andaway]

A MAN AFTER HIS OWN HEART and they haven't talked since the bottle so that's gonna be awkward 8D

[andaway]

So in trying to organize the teams: would a Hal, Skullduggery and Raine team up work with you?

[andaway]

The outline of the missions are up! could you sign up with your preferences?

Thanks!

[alphatar]

But punching things always solves problems! Totes signing Korra up for the direct attack team.

[andaway]

A girl after Kal's own heart! Kal will DEFINITELY want her on his team :3

[andaway]

Awright Kate said Mako wanted in too so Korra will be in a team with Costigan, Mako and Enjolras, and they would be in a team attacking the palace at the outside.

Would that work for you?

[deusrexmachina]

Offering up machine boy here for Team Direct Attack. He's had to be sneaky for missions back home before, but overall he's better suited to combat and smashing things with his giant metal gauntlets.
