Intro/CR Meme - Small Town Setting

[uploadedmods]

Intro/CR Meme

Welcome to Uploaded 2.0! Our first setting will take place in the small town of Corwin, Indiana. This secluded town boasts beautiful scenery and a simple way of life. Yet, intertwined in the roots of the small community, there is an ominous presence unbeknownst to most. A fanatical cult dwells at the core of this borough. They possess the belief that ritual human sacrifices will appease the Devil and carry-on a longstanding “truce”, preserving Corwin’s way of life.


Our first event will take place at the Church. Every year, the congregation throws a holiday bash. Blessed with good weather, the events are able to span both the churchyard and the sanctuary itself. With attractions like a Christmas lights display, a hot chocolate stand, and booths peddling handmade wares, this convocation attracts every local. Those visiting the town will be encouraged to attend as well, tempted with a free glass of wine or the delicious home cooked finger foods on offer.



Cult members, your objective during this event is simple. Touch base with one another, and insure that everything at the party goes smoothly. While some curious guests may try to wander the church, you’d prefer for them to stay in the main areas. The basement is strictly off limits.

Tourists, you are fascinated by this small town celebration, and look forward to enjoying everything the party has to offer. Be sure to check every activity, even if only briefly, to get the full experience.

Locals, this party is your pride and joy! Help set up, encourage everyone else who is working hard on this lovely December night, and relax with a cup of hot chocolate. Maybe you’ve set up a table or activity of your own, or maybe you’re really proud of the dish you brought - in some way, you’ve contributed.

Since our check-in counts for December activity, please remember the opportunity to post your threads to the bonus activity (link coming soon!) page. Corwin will be our setting from December through January, encompassing four events. Our next event will be in about two weeks - please keep an eye on the calendar for the specific date. You may use the form below for the CR meme, or you may use your own format! Tag around, and have fun!

OOC:
Name: Lily
Contact: sugarkey
Interests: My Hero Academia, video games........ asdfghjkl I don't use my plurk much because I forget it exists sometimes
Tagging Habits: PST! weekends are my best tagging time although i try to keep up with them over the week, work can just be a butt sometimes

IC:
Character: Hitoshi Shinso
Role: Cult Member
Housing: Hitoshi's a teenager so he doesn't really have his own place. If possible I'd love to set him up with either a) NPC parents that he's really creeped out by or b) let one of the adults here be his parent. A whole culty family! (Also, a cat.)
Personality: Hitoshi is a boy that wants to be a hero when his quirk (superpower, basically) is... mind control. As such, he's really used to being treated with distrust and has built up a sorta gruff exterior. He's dry, sarcastic, but ultimately a good person.
Plans: While parts of his role he can manage without fumbling, it's going to be bad when it gets to the final goal of "someone needs to die." That means, eventually, he'll be suffering from consequences/tweaking and have Really Complicated Feelings about it.......... So, like, let's use the early weeks to build up some good bases for suffertown.
Desired CR: adult figures to trust, people who also want to struggle against their programming with various degrees of success, people with Feelings about heroism... lbr the game's small which means i'm probably going to be tagging everyone. or like 90%.
Anything else: despite binging in the last months to catch up on the manga i'm still going with the canon point I apped him as- so he's on a little shakier ground as to whether he can become a hero or not. he still wants to, he's still trying, just more room for being discouraged.

On the same page in regards to "fuck that, no one's dying on my watch". If you want to test consequences and potentially plot a coup, I'm game.

[generalstudies]

heck yeah let's get these boys in some trouble with the law, the system, and pretty much everybody!! slowly. gotta ease into a coup.

[thetyger]

Works for me, slow is good. Strategy and subterfuge is needed for successful takedown of the cult, and Atsushi is well versed in neither. Took him from an earlier canon point too in terms of confidence in heroic endeavors.

[generalstudies]

oh, yeah, i bet it's going to be a trainwreck but like... trainwrecks trying to do The Right Thing is always a blast

[thetyger]

Agreed. 90% chance of spectacular failure, but that's just more motivation.

HEY CULT MEMBER GET WITH THE PROGRAM!!

If you'd like to be a tired shitty-eyed family, Hitoshi can live with Oboro. He's very intent on carrying out this cult-business seriously, but that just makes for more drama woohoo!

[generalstudies]

HE'S MOSTLY WITH THE PROGRAM until he realizes that, like, no they are really going to kill someone and he's not down with murder.

I think that sounds like a great way to have some FAMILY DRAMA and also for Hitoshi to be like side-eyeing his not!dad all the time. as long as they have a cat. does he like cats.

ARE YOU READY TO SUFFER WITH ME SHINSOU Midoriya desperately wants to help you not kill people...!

[generalstudies]

IT'S GONNA BE TERRIBLE............ he's gonna be so torn but listen, ok, he's not letting anyone get killed
(especially not his friendrival who happens to be one of the very few nonnatives and therefore a gr8 target)
