Character Introductions and Plotting post!

[re_alignedmods]

Gooood evening everybody!

The official opening start time for Re/Alignment will be June 21st, 8pm Eastern/5pm Pacific. (For those across the globe, feel free to poke us in here for clarification on this.)

Since this is less than two days away, we're putting up this post for everyone to introduce their characters in, and maybe start plotting who will be waking up next to or on top of whom! Will there be fights breaking out over the choicest pieces of junk on the junk pile? Medics trying to remove the mysterious glyphs? Problems understanding Japanese/Cybertronian before communicators are given out?

Jump in and find out~

The whole deal of waking up (especially after dying) on the Junk Pile with all these other beings is going to be incredibly overwhelming for Annie. She has never seen a robot before in her life, let alone anything so huge that moves and talks. There will be screaming, likely attempts to run, and probably some falling and sliding down the side of the Junk Pile a ways.

I would love to have Annie either wake up on top of someone/somebot or trip on someone/somebot. Any characters that are nice to her and patient will be able to calm her down, and she'll then likely cling until the big bots on campus sort the mess out.

Fighting scenarios nearby...yeah, more screaming and running (maybe even away from the Junk Pile).

Raf might be pinged by the screaming, if you'd like him to happen across her one way or another!

[clay_doll]

Would totally love it if he did! Seeing another human will help calm her down~

[deusexraf]

it's okay Annie he knows the robots can be scary but some of them are really awesome!

[clay_doll]

Completely and totally beyond awesome in some cases. X3

[deusexraf]

I figure Raf can maybe wake up by Annie, and then when he finds Ratchet (after calming her down), try and drag her over to him?

[clay_doll]

Annie will be waking up on top of Drift. I have absolutely no problem if Raf is there too myself if you want to start them close by each other. He would certainly be calming to her.

Otherwise, I suppose the screaming could ping Raf and Ratchet to check it out so they can meet a rusty Drift (and possibly a Noisy Boy it seems too!)???

[wakizashi_straight]

Tiny human-shaped creature why are you screaming like that, that is not excitement but this is not that scary.

[clay_doll]

Human. =| Totally human here.

It is terrifying and even you are scary to her! D8

[wakizashi_straight]

B-but he's not that scary, he's not even inclined to (intentionally) hurting humans D:

[clay_doll]

She will realize that after a few moments of quiet. Maybe ask some questions and figure out you do not have such an intention despite being horribly silent.

[wakizashi_straight]

Quiet and somewhat off-putting, but mostly harmless outside of the ring. He might even try to get her out of the way of any trouble that might come up.

[clay_doll]

Quiet she can handle. She's very soft-spoken herself even when she feels safe.

And eeeee <3 Such a nice fighting robot! It's especially good since Annie tends to freeze up in dangerous situations.

[sword_redemption]

How's about waking up on a big robot who's convinced he's got a terrible contagious plague, but is generally a nice guy?

[clay_doll]

Yes yes yes yes yes please!

[sword_redemption]

He is a very lumpy robotmattress. :D

[clay_doll]

Das okay she slept on the streets. She'll just be upset that the metal under her is suddenly moving. XD

[engrishdetective]

dlhgfkjh ANNIE THAT EPISODE SHE'S FROM...

Yeah, chances are, as long as she's not in the way, Gunmax will worry about her later. But if she's in danger, he'll try to make sure she won't get stepped on or something since he'll immediately assume she's human.

[clay_doll]

I know right? She's probably one of my oldest muses, but this is her first time in a game! I'm so excited <3

Sounds like a plan to me! o7 They can always meet up again later~

jumping in with a thought (...which is actually IC for Korra, so success)

[not_halfbaked]

Okay, now I have this image of Annie screaming and running away from a robot, and Korra immediately feeling protective of the girl and rushing to attack said robot, providing Annie cover and a chance to get away. Though now I wonder who'd be the lucky 'bot to be attacked?

Though I'm just brainstorming, I'm not sure if you have something planned already. ^^;

[clay_doll]

Current plans seem to be Annie waking up on top of Drift, screaming with a fail attempt at fleeing, and attracting the attention of potentially Noisy Boy, Raf, and Ratchet with her screams.

I can't really give my consent beyond the fact that I don't mind Annie being defended (mistakenly or from a real danger). Hit up the other mundanes and see who might or might not be up for it?

[not_halfbaked]

Sounds good. I've been chatting with Ratchet and Raf a little bit already.

[clay_doll]

Awesome stuff! Annie is going to probably look up to Korra cause she's such a strong gal <3

[not_halfbaked]

D'aww, that'll be sweet.

[clay_doll]

Very much so.

I do not recommend arm wrestling with Annie though.
