Opposite Plot Planing Post

As detailed in the State of the Taxon (and no it is NEVER too late to jump in on that, btw), Sunday begins Opposite Plot, wherein character will display behaviors that are the inverse of their typical selves. Basically you can take any or all of a given character's personality traits and flip the switch. Got a shy wallflower who's been needing CR? Make them a boisterous social butterfly for a bit! Or go the other direction and have your goody-two-shoes hero don a Cape Of Evil and plot their enemies' doom.

How far you take it - and how long the effects last - is up to you. The glitch will run for two weeks, ending at midnight on the 22nd. This post is for determining if/how your character(s) will be affected, and what sort of shenanigans will result. Have fun!

SPECIAL NOTE: tomorrow there will be a player HMD, which we encourage everyone to participate in. There will be a top comment for mod and game crit, so get your comments ready!

...I think only Sof will appreciate this for the horror that it is, but since I've been in dire need of crack for a while I'm going to subject Taxon to badfic!Glitch. For a day - maybe two, but I CANNOT handle more than that - Glitch will repeat himself constantly, have zero attention span, forget everyone (hilariously this time), get lost, trip over things, all with a sort of blissful, dopey, child-like whimsy. Also he'll about as intelligent as a bag of extra-stupid rocks.

THIS WILL HURT ME MORE THAN IT WILL HURT YOU.

Yeah, so I'm going with Longcoat Cain*.

Discuss.




* Longcoats are the usurper Sorceress's most trusted men. Lackeys handpicked from the military/royal guard/elsewhere. Most of them are sinister, evil, sadistic bastards. ...yeah.

Okay undecided yet: clean-cut super-serious businessman OR jaded shell-shocked disaster of a guy who's basically had his ass kicked across all of space and time.

...also taking other suggestions because yeah.

James

[identity profile] jamesholmes.livejournal.com 2011-10-06 10:05 pm (UTC)(link)
...James is becoming a Fail!Villain. Basically? He'll be evil, pop culture knowledgeable, have no regard for tradition (think it stupid etc), dumber then a box of rocks, and not see the tree's through the forest.

Basically? Your average cartoon villain xD

OR

He becomes a classic Moriarty, totally sly, evil, charismatic, and wants to take over the city covertly.

I have no preference really so do you guys?

GWEN

[identity profile] freaks-myword.livejournal.com 2011-10-06 10:21 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm having much difficulty with this. Making her SUPER RELIABLE and honest and forthright and heavily clothed in sweaters and law-abiding?

Orrr you know what, maybe I'll make her like...a self-proclaimed super hero. She's always so self-deprecating about her electroness and uses it for criminal purposes and snarks at the whole hero concept, but maybe I'll make her totally embracing/accepting/loving her powers and running around trying to save people with them who a.) don't need or want saving and b.) wtf HOW could electrocution even be used for good don't touch me.

I don't know work in progress.

THIS SOUNDS AMAZING.

Zombie. Not really, but, Party's going to go from being a hotheaded idealist that shoots first, asks later, and talks like a bad techno-western to a hum-drum, average, not sticking out too much. We're talking hair dye, suit, tie, quiet, agreeable, the whole ordeal. Essentially, how he was when he was medicated thanks to BLI. Think this (http://www.puicet.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/gerard-way.jpg) instead of this (http://cdn.buzznet.com/assets/users16/seabunky/default/party-poison--large-msg-129652723449.jpg).

I saw this once before and I love it. It almost wants me to play Gwen straight just for her to be like WHO ARE YOU? And not to mention foreverrrr never let him forget about this.
aintnoconvict: (scuse me but wtf are you doing?)

[personal profile] aintnoconvict 2011-10-07 01:39 am (UTC)(link)
She COULD be normal (for Gwen) while he's glitched, if you guys wanna work it out like that. The event's for two weeks, y'all don't need to be affected the entire time :3

/vanishes in a puff of trouble-causing

[identity profile] poisonousparty.livejournal.com 2011-10-07 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
YES PLEASE. Especially since party's like infatuated with gwen. I plan on him glitching since the beginning.

Hippie!Paul gonna be a hippie, time-length undetermined.

After consideration, Long will probably remain his normal self, just so that he can better sip tea with mildly arched brows at everyone else's dorkitude.

I vote businessman, but that is because we have many Jaded Disasters, imo. BUT HONESTLY WHATEVER YOU WANT is awesome.

Re: James

[identity profile] smecker.livejournal.com 2011-10-07 06:58 am (UTC)(link)
I vote for the first, primarily because there's not a whole lot of city-taking-over you can get done in two weeks, especially covertly. :D

PLOTS FOR HIM PLEASE??? this is your chance to have a purring kobra at your hands! :D

[identity profile] goodluck-kobra.livejournal.com 2011-10-07 07:25 am (UTC)(link)
kobra's gonna glitch from the beginning, but i'll only have him glitched for a few days, so when he returns to normal he can freak out over party? that work?

Re: James

[identity profile] goodluck-kobra.livejournal.com 2011-10-07 09:54 am (UTC)(link)

[identity profile] goodluck-kobra.livejournal.com 2011-10-07 10:02 am (UTC)(link)
