Wargames Signups and Organization

[liebe_krieg]

Continuing preparations for this plot, this post is for sorting who is doing what this weekend beyond general monster fighting or assisting Cityzens (no sign-ups necessary for ass-kicking!). For the log itself, there will be three main threads, one for each night, and subthreads within the threads for playing out particular scenes- vampires vs. monsters vs. heroes on the first night or Major + hostages on the second, for instance. Let us know if you want a particular thread posted! In all cases monsters will be under your own control during fights; neither Maddie or I will be directly puppeting the NPCs. Let me or Maddie know if there are any questions!

Allied with the Major:
- Peacock
- Khisanth
-

Allied with the Doctor:
- Xanatos (discreetly)
-
-


Taken hostage by the Major:
- James Bond
- Alastair
- Dick
- Karkat
- Rapunzel

Tracking down the Major (techies who’ll trace the vampire’s transmissions back to the Major’s lair on the third night):
-Billy
-Tony
-Jaime

Confronting the Major (I plan to split this thread in two, with two characters holding off the Major’s guards while the other two go for the guy himself):
-Alucard
-Bucky
-Magneto
-Seras

Hostage rescue
-Kate
-Jane
-Vic
-Khisanth [lol]

Casualties (For characters being taken out somehow. If your character is going to die, it needs to be approved on the plotting post!:

-Doctor Einsturzen
-Joel
-Greg
-Jack Bauer [KO'd or trapped]

well these things look a lot harder to kill than the game constructs he fought back home! he will probably end up fighting the dogs more than vampires, only because they'd be easier to kill for him. he's free to be taken hostage if you want him, but otherwise he'll just be trying not to die. exactly how are hostages taken and held?

[liebe_krieg]

The Major will have specialized hit squads of vampires and superstrong mercenaries roaming town, targeting known Import locations- businesses, homes, the MAC, anywhere they might score a captive. The attack and pummeling may be played out or handwaved; either way once they've subdued their target it's back to the Major's command centre.

Hostages will be kept in separate rooms in a derelict high-rise apartment building. They'll be restrained, watched and guarded as is necessary to prevent their escape. The Major may pop in to monologue at them, and the walls are thin enough for them to talk to their neighbours if anyone wants hostage CR.

taking karkat from his home would be exceedingly difficult- it's rigged from top to bottom with death traps and there is the angry overprotective juggalo he lives with. however he's super easily identified as an import because of his distinctly non human appearance so he could very well be snatched up during the fighting/chaos if that works!

yes! really good, hostage cr was my primary motivation in offering him up. (:

ooh okay yeah snatched up is much better then: the actual vampires can't enter homes without invitations, let alone booby-trapped juggalo lairs. The Major had to pump a few human mercs full of superpower juice just to make these abductions possible.
