"Don't Be What They Made You."




A Logan roleplay between myself and The Bork Lazer.

Summary:

With Transigen having lost control of their assets in their Mexican laboratory, they have sent Donald Pierce after the dangerous children. Raven has been keeping a close watch on the children under the guise of Nurse Gabriella for many years. At the same time she has been slowly stealing various tech, medicine and files to add to her research of Transigen itself. With their newest and most successful creation of X-24, Pierce is in hot pursuit of Laura while other security teams are sent to track down the numerous other children who were bred with special mutant genes. As it's the year 2029, no new mutants have been discovered though there is a possible reason for their disappearance. Raven manages to secure Laura and flee across to Texas. She has arranged with the Canadian border to allow the children safe passage within a specified amount of time. Knowing time is limited and that Laura should know who her father is, Raven reaches out to Logan and Charles for help.


I have a few posts to do before I can get up our intro but it should be up before Friday I'm betting.

I wasn't sure if we wanted to extend the time to get Laura to the border to allow us some more room for sidetrips and easier pacing so I left it vague, leaving us room to adjust some events as we'd like.

I think that would be good, as long as those side-trips don't contradict the characterisation of Logan and Raven along with not shattering our suspension of disbelief.

I don't think we'd have to worry about that. We are posing a new plot so we can develop Logan and Raven a little differently. Given the new change in dynamics with Raven now along for the ride, some events may change. I think along the way Raven may try to target and bring down a few small Transigen labs if possible. She sees the big picture of Transigen as a threat and with Logan and Laura she's got a lot more strength on her side.

Logan is old and arthiritic and losing his healing factor and Laura's a child soldier. I don't think Raven would try to bring them along and turn Laura into the true purpose of becoming a child soldier against Transigen if she was disguised as Nurse Gabrielle. Remember, the X-23 children are being given over the border so that they can be safe from Transigen. Using Laura as a weapon against Transigen would defeat the purpose of that. Raven is characterized as having hatred against corporations like Trask and Transigen but Logan would conflict with her on that.

I do see Raven as selfish though, while she values Laura's freedom and wishes to help her and the others escape Transigen, I can still see Raven wanting to confront Transigen now that Laura is finally without restraint. Raven isn't who she once was, phsycailly, I think she'd want to use the strength behind Laura to tip the scales. I also see Raven as having been able to snag a few vials of serum to help those like Charles and Logan, it wouldn't be a permanent solution but I think Raven has been preparing for this juncture for a while. Logan wouldn't want to fight the large scale fight Raven may lean toward, Laura would have her own reservations but I don't see Raven's choices fueled solely on kindness. Laura as an ally gives Raven a chance to bring down a few Transigen lab. That would be another source of conflict for the group. Head to the border, go on a detour, etc. If you're not on board with the idea I understand but I do see this RP as an opportunity to change some things and explore different tactics on each individual's desires.

I didn't say I was particularly against the idea. I just said that there would be a lot more to explore with it and that Logan would conflict with Raven about her decisions.

Otherwise, I'm alright with this idea, so long as it doesn't escalate into 'Bringing the Transigen Corporation Down' and become mutant freedom fighters.

I don't think it's out of Raven's character to want to bring down Transigen and help the mutant children though. I think that's part of her motivations. I see Raven as a bit selfish and impulsive even at this point in her life. While she wants to reconnect with Charles and help Laura and Logan, I think she still would take the fight to Transigen if/when possible which I do expect to be met with resistance. If you're not sure about how I'm characterizing Raven, we can go with another plot though. I want us both to be comfortable with direction and intent.

Nah. It's okay. I'm just suggesting that Logan would directly conflict with Raven and her ambitions which would in turn create some good and interesting roleplaying.

Anyway, I'm still waiting for that IC post.

I didn't feel comfortable getting the IC post up until I felt we were both on the same page and for a bit it seemed like we weren't. But now it seems we've got things settled which makes me feel more at ease so I should get something up soon. Though if you wanted to get it up sooner I wouldn't have opposed. XD
