Reluctantly retired roleplayer.

Except when I'm not.

Why are you here when you should be writing posts?

You can edit a bad draft, but you cannot edit a blank page.

We're not collaborating on anything. The Fairchild Electronics arc is largely intended as just a personal one for Emory; that's why I chose to have the product they were marketing essentially just be a taser. They aren't any real threat to Hyperhumans at this point, they're just monetising on the fear and public unrest. Honestly, I am surprised that so many people have headed to the rally.

I think there is definitely potential for FE to become a larger threat later on. Money is power, and they have a lot of that thanks to their global enterprise and an especially generous charitable donation. But currently FE doesn't care enough about Hyperhumans to allocate resources for producing anything of real threat to the Hypes; their involvement is solely monetary, they've yet no motive for a vendetta.

Wraith has a lot of his own solid plans for the RP that are much more interesting than anything to do with FE, and I think people should focus more on those elements - the real danger to Hyperhumans, from whom the convoy is running. Fairchild Electronics will only ever be a minor antagonistic presence at best. The entire scene has kind of been blown out of proportion by the amount of characters who have attended; it was initially to be a scene purely for Emory to face his father, but then after a discussion with Wraith we realised that the electrical nature of the rally would give Zeke an opportunity to shine.

Now, I'm not sure what will happen. There seems to be too many Hypes present for Zeke and Emory to cause a fuss with any degree of convenience. I personally was expecting most people to want to introduce their characters and head for the convoy. I don't see the other characters attending just to see whether they can get a deal on the Pacifier, and frankly I feel that a large group of Hypes causing a scene at the beginning of a roleplay about keeping a low profile is more than a little counterproductive.

I will likely just have Emory face his father in private. I don't know what the rest of you plan on doing.

I honestly thought that this was where Wraith wanted us to go. I can easily edit my first post and have Gar head to the plantation instead. I have no problem with that.

EDIT: I've edited the post. Gareth's no longer headed to City Hall, but going to the convoy, instead.


I have to admit I kind of pulled a Tyler, I definitely should have given you guys something else to do to spread everyone out.

@Lord Wraith Thanks, I err, realised after I went to bed last night that I'd worded that wrong though. I didn't mean to ask about what Lisa and Harrison are doing, but about their overall personalities/relationship with each other sort of thing. If they're just names you grabbed for the purpose of naming NPCs, I will happily make stuff up... >.> :P Sorry about that confusion.

Also, I agree with Tyler's suggestion about the timeline being easier to maintain and actually more useful in the long run than brief post summaries. Don't put too much on yourself, eh, we can do the reading since we joined. ;) But timelines are love.


Yeah they were just names I grabbed for the sake of the NPCs having name haha.

I'll work on a timeline instead of my current summaries since it seems that's the best compromise across the board.
*Stares* Some Wraith never gave me that review of my character so far. I think I might be missing a sample post but ya know that's not what I'm worried so far about. I can put that up. Need to know if the powers and such is okay. :D


I don't sign blank cheques man.

Wait, wait wait!

You mean, he has superpowers and he doesn't want them? He didn't get powers and immediately decide to fight crime!

Oh thank goodness lol

I have no issues with this CS, feel free to put Mr. Kain in the Character Tab. Accepted!

I like the sentiment, but I don't know how overtly crazy I am about it. It would make things SO much easier. But what if it negates from players actually reading the posts?


Yeah that was a concern of mine as well. But we'll try it out and see how it goes.
For anyone who has read the posts but needs a quick refresher, the IC OP has a summary of the events that have happened in the IC thus far with each player's posts broken down into bite sized chunks. Just in case you need to brush up quickly before submitting a post.
@Lord WraithIf I stick Lucas in Lisa and Harrison's car for the ride in, is there anything I should know about them?


Nothing in particular. They're just running into town to fill up some gas canisters and bring them back to refuel the convoy.

@Lord Wraith I sort of took it upon myself to make up a news station and news anchor. If you have any objections, I can change it.


Nope that's alright. No need to change.
i actually found a nice little conveinant route anthony could use. its actually a nice little snippet of knowlege ill probably keep with me cause that just how my brain works. Route Ten conveinantly connects all the cities in a nice little chain. Mobile, southern coast of Mississippi, New orleans, Baton Rouge, and the rest. Would it be fair to say PB falls on that chain?


Seems fair as in this universe it would be at least as big as New Orleans.
great, then what the closest major city to PB? Anthony will be coming from the east along the coast.


Probably New Orleans.

EDIT: Baton Rogue, Lafayette or Lake Charles would work as well. Lake Charles is the closest geographically to where I imagine Pointe Bordeaux being.
That moment when Google Maps reminds you you're writing fiction...


I'm generally around for any questions if they're possible to answer haha
@Lord Wraith What's a neighbourhood in Pointe Bordeaux? Gareth needs a location for his favourite eatery, and I can't help but scroll through your Iwaku blog entries to see if you have any extensive info on PB there, but so far I've had no success :P.


Pointe Bordeaux is one of the newest developments in the Vigilance Universe and as such I don't have fully fleshed out write ups for it however I do have this...

DISTRICTS:
La Gironde
Little Cairo
Cajun Quarter
Carib Gardens
Lighthouse District

SUBURBS:
Port St. Joe
Apalachicola
St. George Island
Dog Island
St. Vincent Wildlife Refuge

For an eatery I'd recommend either the Cajun Quarter or the Carib Gardens but I don't have anything solid lol.
