THE TIME WARP AGAIN, ETC

HELLO I COME BEARING PLOT. This plot is going to be primarily player run, and as widespread or as narrow focused as you like. It could easily involve the whole game or just a few people. It is optional, but radical.

The idea: TIME TRAVEL.

The structure of this time travel plot will be thus:

PART ONE
Ten years in the future of CH, there has been a Bad End. For those unfamiliar, this means that everything has gone to SHIT through some means or another, and is tonally a post apocalyptic world of tomorrow. The nature of this “apocalypse” will depend on player plotting, and the people who want to step up to be bad guys. Has someone risen up to become an evil cyborg overlord? Have Alternians taken over the planet? Has TRIDENT taken over CONDOR? These are the questions that we must answer.

Everyone who wants in will get to make a gritty, dark future AU version of their characters. An INCIDENT will occur that will send a group of these characters into THE PAST (aka present game time) in an attempt to stop whatever bullshit has caused the future to suck so much. This could be one event, or multiple.

The important thing is that we have a team of time travelers in Los Angeles attempting to fix the future, and weirding everyone out. They must acquire some kind of MacGuffin, or stop some disaster.

PART TWO
With the mission more or less in hand, the time travelers will travel to the future – and this time, they will be bringing a motley of past people with them, to experience the rotten world of tomorrow. Why? Because they need help doing some kind of thing, most likely dicking with a time machine in a way that will properly reset the timeline instead of creating an offshoot.

So they are basically fighting to make their timeline no longer exist.

At any rate, they need backup. Time will move along in both timelines more or less linearly, though there can be some variation for convenience. How this part ends really depends on you.


So what we need to do here is PLAN. Who wants in? Who wants to timetravel? Who wants to be villains?

Use the comments below to decide. The plot will start mid November and will proceed indefinitely, since the rest of the world will be able to continue on regardless.

Man usually I am inclined to go with sad drifter Maxxie in these situations but I'm gonna go with tough sunshine-less Maxxie. With scars. And like, chest hair or something. It's impossible for him to go evil tbh so like

FUTURE FINNICK....... either dead or playin on the evil team. Will investigate.

Nilin is most certainly fucking evil as fuck.

IDK ABOUT GOING TO THE FUTURE I'M GONNA GO MUSE ABOUT THIS ON PLURK FOR A WHILE.

OKAY HERE IS SOME MORE DETAIL

Future!Maxxie is coming back to the present. He's all buff and gritty and looks generally like he's been through hell but the scars are pretty handsome on him.

Future!Nilin is probably a bounty hunter or something, honestly. If any supervillains want to make use of her skills, she's yours. She's done whatever it takes to survive while also being able to punch things, so make of that moral code what you will.

Future!Finnick is not around. TBD.

Present!Maxxie is really worried about this older version of himself sitting in his kitchen and drinking his beer. He might go to the future or he might not.

Present!Nilin may want to go to the future even if it's just to figure out how she lived through what is apparently an awful thing that happened. She's curious and she wants to be prepared, alright. But she's totally here to fix things.

Present!Finnick is also up in the air there may be OTHER TIME TRAVEL SHENANIGANS HAPPENING who the hell knows.
