notice Incursion: Phase Two Sign Up and Vignette

[Gizmo]

Welcome to the second phase of Incursion!

 

The silent night of December 25th is broken by the arrival of a threat from the stars! The worst has come to pass and the Communion has come for Earth! With attacks on every corner of the globe the heroes of Freedom City must leave the familiar rooftops of their home city behind to defend their planet from utter destruction!

 

Event Ground Rules:
With multiple threads running at once, timing is important. Players will be expected to post within a 24 hour period, particularly during combat initiative. If they are unable to do so, the GM will narrate the character's actions or circumstance in order to move the thread along, skipping the players turn. We will of course take the hectic schedule of the holidays into account!

Phase Two is specifically for Earth based characters not already involved in Phase One. The war against the Communion has taxed the Galactic Coalition and its heroes to the very brink and a backward mudball like Terra will just have to fend for itself! Phase Two also will not include the students of Claremont Academy, in order to keep the number of characters more manageable. Fear not, however, as they will their own vignette instead!

Sign Up:
Sign up for Phase Two begins now and continues until midnight of Sunday, December 21st. Players may request to have more than one character involved in Phase Two. List your characters in the order you would most like to see them included, from most important to least. We will do our best to accommodate as many player characters as possible but it will be helpful to prioritize!

 

Phase Two threads will begin Thursday, December 25th!

 

Claremont Academy Vignette: Big Leagues

While the adult heroes of Freedom City spread out across the globe to combat the Incursion, the students of Claremont Academy are left to watch over their fair metropolis! When villains attempt to take advantage of the situation it will be up to these teen titans to rise to occasion! Against foes that give even the Freedom League and other seasoned veterans difficulty can they prevail? Can they even survive?! It may take a holiday miracle!

 

Big Leagues is a vignette open specifically to Claremont Academy students excluded from Incursion: Phase Two, taking place between Christmas Day and New Years. The usual vignette rules apply: vignettes should be at least one word processor document page in length, limit one vignette per character. Given the prompt, players are encouraged to have appearances by established villains but should remember to PM the ref team with a request and summation of their vignette's plot just as they would when asking to use an NPC in a normal thread. Joint vignette are also encouraged this time around but are not necessary!

 

Post your vignette to the by midnight of Saturday, January 31st so that it can be included in January's post counts!

[Electra]

I'd like to sign up all my characters for Phase II, but I have no problem letting some drop out and vignette as needed. 

 

In priority order: 

Wander

Miss Americana

Fleur de Joie

Hologram

[The Sailor]

Endeavor here! Ready to assist Freedom City to the best of her ability!

[Raveled]

I'll kick Miras into this. Corona's already had her chance, and we'll let Blue Jay take the vigentte.

[EternalPhoenix]

Samaritan, being a Claremonter, will have a Vignette.

However, Terrifica and Queenie stand ready to assist with the invasion however they can. Sam miiiight even manage to tone down the snark for once.

[KnightDisciple]

Excellent, excellent.

 

Sun Walker is my absolute top priority for getting into a thread. In particular my end goal is that he has the opportunity to go out into SPACE! and start SPACE! adventures. Because SPACE!.

 

If the Liberty League ends up having a thread happen, then I want Cobalt Templar in on the action there. Otherwise I'm fine leaving him in the background for a bit.

 

In the same way, if the Freedom League has a group thread, then I want Gabriel in on that action, though he's probably the lowest priority at the moment.

[souffle_girl]

I'm signing Nano Angel up for phase two, and Trailblazer for a vignette.

 

I have to point a few things up about Mechanized though. I know she's currently involved in Phase 1 events, but there's no way she's going to sit back and watch the Communion ravage Earth if she can help it. In particular:

 

- After the events of Opportunists and Opposition, if she gets wind that the Communion might threaten Earth, she will send a message home to warn them. In particular, her family being a huge weapon manufacturer must have some leverage in military environments - assuming they take her seriously of course.

 

- If she somehow suspects that the Communion is going to attack Earth soon, she's going back unless given a really, really good reason to stay, to the point of possibly confronting any Lor that assumes that Earth is too backwater to be cared about.

 

So, if she suspects the Communion is going to attack, she has the time and a way to return to Earth and she's not unable to do so, she'll be in Freedom City and take part in the fight.

 

(A nice change of pace could be for her to be involved in actually convincing people the Communion is coming, rather than fighting. Sort of what goes on in Mass Effect. Not that I want to take the place of the GMs )

[Heritage]

Grimalkin will definitely be part of Phase Two and Miracle Girl will do a vignette.

[Thevshi]

So, signing up!

Velocity (Freedom League)
Synapse (Vanguard)

[Tiffany Korta]

Difficult to choose but I will put foward Triokosia, whose already met the Communion, and Miss Grue who's an alien and all.

[RobRX]

Despite his status as a retired character, I'd like to put up Silver Magus for Phase Two because of his previous involvement with the Communion. Cho/Rampart will, obviously, be doing a vignette.

[Brown Dynamite]

Foreshadow will be Robot punching it up against the Communion.

 

Glamazon will be Vignetting it up.  Granted, she'd be more likely to be out of the country during holidays.  Let alone under da sea.  But, she swims fast enough that coming back to hero it up in Freedom City is doable.

[trollthumper]

Cavalier has already been dealing with space stuff, so he's out. And, in the name of sanity, I'll leave Temperance to an individual Vignette because she's had a hell of a lot of threads already.

So... if there's a Liberty League thread, I'll stick Cannonade in that. If there's a Midnighters/Parkhurst thread, I'll stick Nick Cimitiere in that.

[Avenger Assembled]

In priority order: 

 

Citizen

Harrier 

Fast-Forward 

Comrade Frost 

Edge 

[Semi-Autogyro]

So, yeah, easy only choice here:

 

Myrmidon

[Geez3r]

Signing Maxima up for this.

[Ecalsneerg]

OK, in order of priority:

 

Equinox

Geckoman

Arrowhawk

 

The two team based PCs being first is a deliberate decision, yes >.>

[Gizmo]

As a formality!

 

Jack of all Blades / Jill O'Cure, Midnight II, Ghost Girl, Set / Sekhmet, Wail

[ca_lazerdwarf]

Coiled Lightning is eager to lend his whip to the defense of Earth, if he won't be totally outclassed.

[Fox]

Gaian Knight & Tiamat (Freedom League), Dragonfly, and Wraith are all up for this, though I'm happy to drop one or two to make room.

[Vahnyu]

Signing up for second phase.

Hronos

Net Fly

Meatheral

[MisterShoebox]

Signing up if you'll have me! Phantasmo's ready! 'cause he's PHANTASMO! THE UNLIVING!

[TheAbsurdist]

Asad is up for it.

 

Errant will obviously be wherever.
