Trick or Not so Treat?
Oct. 6th, 2015 07:31 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
Hi there,
I realize it's late in the month, and you probably have plans already, but I'm just fishing around to see if there's any interest out there for characters to play with the spooky theme of October/November and get a little loose and free with their villain selves. Lucifer will hopefully be doing his own thing, but there's room for him to network and inspire a few of our game's villain characters to come in and cause just a little preemptive Halloween chaos before the big night, or in the next couple of weeks after it as a spooky wind down, depending on if/when we can procure a slot. (In some ways a belated november halloween is when everyone least expects it, anyway).
It doesn't have to be big chaos, in fact Lucifer would be looking for characters to act up in small ways to trick or treat their fellow imPorts - it is Devil's Night, after all - rather than do something serious that gets them all incarcerated, but it might be a step toward doing something bigger as a villain community, perhaps.
Basically, I would love to expand villain on villain or trying to reform villain or dubiously heroic cr (for myself, and between other people to put villains in contact with each other), and get some real league of evil vibe going about the place. Any slightly villainous, or vaguely halloween-gone-wrong themed idea is a good one; animated jack-o-lantern candygrams that tell people their bad fortunes, or magic mirrors that insult passers by--I don't know, I just thought I'd throw it out there that Lucifer is willing to inspire and/or manipulate anyone into embracing their dark side, this month and always, and that I'm more than happy to bring together everyone's ideas and present them to the mods as a whole plan. Incidentally this isn't a one time offer thing, sure, I'd like to set up a vaguely organized villain front, so characters can't get around the fact that they're surrounded by baddies and potential baddies, but Lucifer is also available for prodding characters toward their bad selves in general, also, so if you have a character arc planned, and you can't quite find the way to push your character over that cliff, let me know.
For the sake of developing CR if we don't have it already, Lucifer did make an open invitation for imPorts to visit his church http://maskormenacelogs.dreamwidth.org/521415.html for the Feast of St Michael. Otherwise he does enjoy zoning into people who are dreaming dark dreams to introduce himself, and this can be done through an IC inbox thread if you clear it on my permissions http://angelfire.dreamwidth.org/1131.html first, and I can have him reply to pretty much any network post.
That's it. I will quit with the babbling now, please let me know if you're at all interested in throwing a trick or trick in treat's clothing into this lucky dip of evil. Characters will be expected to run their trick themselves, and any write ups will have to be done by the player in question, Lucifer's role is only motivational, and as a result may not have as much influence on some as others. Furthermore you won't hurt my feelings if it doesn't suit your character, or if you're not interested: I did play very fast and loose with the definition of the word 'villain' when I made my list of people to contact, and all of the above may in fact be totally irrelevant to yours, but whether it is or not, thank you in any case for reading!

Date: 2015-10-06 08:44 pm (UTC)He's probably willing to listen to Lucifer, but he wouldn't get too close. He's too high profile to be particularly useful to him at the moment.
I don't know if this was particularly helpful to you, but I didn't want to leave you hanging.

Date: 2015-10-06 09:13 pm (UTC)I definitely think Jack would be up for some Halloween games of the devious sort so I am in. I've got some thoughts circling around but I'll be thinking more on it. I might actually go for something technologically related since he can hack things with his mind. /spooky fingers

Date: 2015-10-06 10:51 pm (UTC)And sadly he was out of town for the feast. But hanging out with Lucifer at some point can be a thing.
I definitely want Jesse to network with villains more, even though he's more of a businessman than a troll. Does anyone need money? He will fund anything that sounds like it'll undermine the government or the authorities.

Date: 2015-10-07 12:21 am (UTC)Cause really, despite the weird alien looks and genetic experimentation past he's an angry teen punk at heart (and he's on his way to getting the emphasis on punk part).

no subject
Date: 2015-10-07 01:01 am (UTC)He's a mercenary who committed genocide trying to reform but he's a total psychopath who needs to be reminded he's nothing but a monster! I'd love to plot something out!

However, one thing that could be entertaining would be if Lucifer eventually got a chance to read Crocodile's soul and found out about the Mr. 0 thing? Not just here, but also the shit he pulled as that guy back in his own world, haha.
no subject
Date: 2015-10-07 09:51 pm (UTC)Mostly I think they both have the same motivation - be evil, and watch as awful shit happens - and Lucifer doesn't care to be at the boss of the organization to do it. If he has to get involved, ever, it's in his role as the serpent, whispering suggestions in people's ears; he does it so he can watch them destroy themselves and other people, and he doesn't need to be the boss to do that.
If he came to Croc anyway, the least he could do is offer it as a suggestion to pass down to Genesis' members, and maybe they can discuss things on equal, straightforward levels, like Lucifer being willing to offer protection. For the sake of practicality, he'd be more than willing to consider Croc as a 'player' and not a 'chess piece' (although this is a front that lets him survive in MoM rather than genuine--cooperation or not he still thinks all humans are scum.)
So.

Date: 2015-10-07 04:38 am (UTC)also, possibly not related to this since she'd be super down anyway, but i'd love to do something with his dream trick at some point! she dreams about murder and revenge pretty often so that might be right down his alley 8) not that she like, needs much help on the corruption front there...

Date: 2015-10-07 09:10 pm (UTC)he isn't into the whole "doing this to cause mayhem and distress" or killing for no reason, but he def. hangs around morally ambiguous people in canon and I'd love to get him involved with them. I'm juuust not sure how but
he is there
for when you need a crazy cannibal

Date: 2015-10-09 09:10 am (UTC)She's also resentful of Lucifer for indirectly causing relationship strife, haha, so there is that obstacle. She might be bribed into causing mischief if he offers something compelling enough though! And even if she doesn't accept, it could still make for an interesting thread (though I wouldn't want to overwhelm you if have a bunch of others on your plate).

Date: 2015-10-10 07:07 am (UTC)Elsa hates feeling weak and limited in this world, so she's most interested in regaining a solid power base. She needs reliable sources of blood and she's also interested in any additional ways of keeping her activities under the radar of both the government and hero-types who would be inclined to meddle.
