IN BRIGHTEST DAY - Mod Plot [Main Plot Post]

[letsgolegion]

This will be the main plot page for the In Brightest Day plot. Since this is a plot that isn't being split into parts that need sign ups, and instead will happen in stages, as each part of the plot is put up, it will be added and explained here. So expect to keep an eye on this post for the duration of the plot. New additions/stages will be announced on the mod plurk.

IN BRIGHTEST DAY

LANTERN CORPS MASTER INFOPOST/RING SIGNUPS

NPC JOURNAL: wieldtherainbow | LOCKED POST W/LOGIN PW

NPC ICONS/INFO HERE

BASIC INFO

A group of Legionnaires will accompany the small contingents of the violet, green, blue, and indigo corps to find the remains of those Corps in the 31st century in the game universe. This will lead to the Legion wielding rings of their own and fighting the evil reds and yellows in two major battles.

HOW NPCING WILL WORK: Players will be expected to choose Yellow and Red Lantern Corps npcs they want to fight and will have permission to god them for their threads. The characters in the red and yellow Lantern Corps have very little characterization even in the comics (usually just names and evil gimmicks), meaning that the information listed on the icons page should be enough for players to run with them. Players also may make up npcs wholesale.

EXEMPT CHARACTERS: Of the reds and yellows, please do not npc Sinestro, Atrocitus, Lyssa Drak, Arkillo, Superboy Prime, Ranx, or Bleez without asking the mods first. All other reds and yellows are fair game and players are allowed to take as many creative liberties with them as they want. For their ring capabilities, that info is in the master infopost linked at the top of this page.

Please also do not npc any ring users of any of the other color spectrums (ie green, blue, violet, orange, indigo). Only the mods and the game's npcers will be npcing those.


PARTS OF THE PLOT

PART 1 - NETWORK POST: BRIEFING

PART 2 - LOG POST: THE RINGS CHOOSE

In this part of the plot, the Legion will accompany the various Corps of Lanterns to the broken remains of the dead, sentient planet Mogo, where the last of the Green Lanterns live. Here, those that are due to get green, violet, blue, or indigo rings will have their rings choose them. (All other types of rings will be available at the beginning of the first battle, in the next part).

Training with the rings will be handwaved, but you can assume your characters will get some solid, basic training with their respective corps.


PART 3 - LOG POST: IN BLACKEST NIGHT

General fighting: For the general fighting section, players can team up, pick an npc off the list and go crazy. Players are also allowed to make up yellow and red npcs as well. When you choose an npc, please make sure that no other threads before you have used the same npc.

Hard mode: Superboy Prime is currently working with the Yellow Lanterns. An obnoxious version of Clark Kent born to a world where most of the DC Comics was fiction (how? Comics) Prime lost his world to a being named the Anti-Monitor, then teamed up with his heroes from DC to stop him. After watching the progressively darker events of the DC Universe occur from a crystal paradise dimension, he re-entered the DC universe and went on a murderous rampage, killing and maiming many heroes. Prime feels that the DC heroes have become "corrupt" over time, compared to the silver age heroes he used to read about, and feels that his own violent actions killing some of them were things they "made" him do. Right now he's working with the Sinestros only for a chance to kill the Anti-Monitor back in the universe all the Lanterns came from.

Prime is vastly depowered after going through the rift, significantly less powerful than he once was. This is fortunate because he was once someone who could fight most of the heroes of the DC universe to a standstill. Still, with a yellow power ring, Kryptonian superpowers, and an advanced suit of armor feeding him yellow sunlight energy to make him more powerful, he's not to be underestimated. For any characters that tag in to fight with Superboy Prime, they won't be allowed to defeat him completely, but in each fight, they can add some cumulative damage to the suit that feeds him energy -- something that can't be replaced in this universe. Once the suit is destroyed, he'll eventually be easier to defeat.

Endgame: This thread is for when the fight is over, for anyone that wants to play out converted reds or yellows as they're kidnapped.


PART 4 - LOG POST: NO EVIL SHALL ESCAPE MY SIGHT

Everyone will have a breather, as the allied good guys get a chance to regroup and deal with the events of the first battle. Those that want to switch rings to blue, green, violet, or indigo, and don't want it to happen mid-battle, can have a chance to do so.

Meanwhile, those yellows who are captured will have to try to survive their capture and training/brainwashing at the hands of the yellow Lanterns. They will have 3 options: 1) being rescued, and them helping fight their way out so their rescuer can pull it off. 2) Fighting the brainwashing successfully and faking they were brainwashed. Or 3) Full brainwashing and being forced to fight their friends in the final battle.

Those reds that go back with the Red Lanterns will have the option of being gifted with slightly more intelligence, and will get a glimpse of the final bad guy plans to come -- information that can possibly help the Legion later.


PART 5 - LOG POST: BEWARE MY POWER

The yellows and reds are now working together. Creating a massive construct, they're burning the planet Winath, the farming world responsible for feeding most of the UP and AP member worlds. This construct must be destroyed and the Lanterns creating it must be defeated and finally brought in to face justice.


As each stage goes up, a link will be added along with more ooc information.

MOD QUESTIONS/CONTACT/FEEDBACK

[letsgolegion]

For general mod questions, feedback, etc. you can put them here for the duration of the plot. For ring selection questions, or to do ring sign ups, go to the master infopost.

[headinjuries]

If we're having a character pick up a new color during part 3, will we need to ping mods for a comment of the ring actually picking them like we get in part 2, or will we just write it in and keep going without mod input?

[iamresponding]

Any ring changes after the initial selection, you can just write it in on your own.

[headinjuries]

Sweet, ty.

[iamresponding]

Although if anyone wants some colorful html for ring changes, we have some already made up, so just let us know.

[headinjuries]

someone else ask some questions I feel naked here

Okay so! This is thinking ahead a bit, to part 4. As has come up on plurk, Hal and Dipper are both getting yellows and hanging out with the fearmongers, etc etc. But Hal is going to want to try a couple things here that will definitely need modly input to see how they turn out.

1) He will probably actually try to explain what the hell's going on with Chronoblivion to Sinestro and be like, yo, Sin, how about you aim at the PROBLEM here. I don't expect this to go anywhere, but considering he's from a canon point where all of the corps were teaming up, and considering that Hal has come to expect the worst but hope for the best from Sinestro, he'd at least try.

2) He'll also try to get a message out to the Legion/GLC along the lines of "hey, in the middle of enemy territory here, Dipper is pulling a me and going full fearcrazy" and anything else relevant he picks up. I am completely up for success or failure on getting this out, or for success but he's noticed and gets a bunch of yellows trying to beat him down for it...whatever, facing the consequences of doing stupid shit is kind of Hal's thing. But it is a thing he will definitely want to try.

[letsgolegion]

1) He can definitely make his case to Sinestro and it can have an affect on Sinestro's plan (possibly for the worse) but we'd want to leave the final outcome a surprise for the thread. Just keep in mind it's one of those things where Sinestro might believe him but it could make things worse instead of better.

2) He can definitely do that! The yellows would relocate before they could be caught, but it's IC for Hal to make the attempt, so he can. Like you said, the outcome would be the yellows coming down on him.

[headinjuries]

I apologize to everyone in advance, because making things worse is about the most IC thing I could possibly do here.

[nerdninja]

So! Donnie is attempting to figure out a way to track the yellows and reds, and Hiccup brought up a good suggestion. What's the feasibility of this getting them anywhere?

[letsgolegion]

We've decided that using the indigo rings to channel yellow and red ring energy can work in giving them a ballpark but that where the yellows and reds are hiding has enough natural gravity wells and other phenomenon to make it difficult to pin down exactly.

However, while they won't be able to pinpoint things exactly, the GLs sending out scouts to try to zero in will allow some good guys to be there in a situation to help Parker and Nick as they're escaping. So while the nerds' efforts to pinpoint exactly where the yellows and reds are won't work, their efforts will still have a positive effect that helps some teammates.

THIS WOULD BE A GOOD PLACE TO PUT THIS SO re: Hard Mode!!

In short, Superboy-Prime is not... very... fond of Kon. But Kon, being young and still really overconfident, doesn't know this yet and would very easily end up in a fight with him, which is a Bad Idea. WOULD ANYONE LIKE TO GIVE HIM A HAND— I was thinking more of a rescue-type thing than a straight-up team-up, where someone shows up mid-thread or something?! Anyone would be fine, just, you know, so Kon doesn't end up getting murdered again, because Superboy-Prime is rude.

[headinjuries]

Hal could totally help him out, if you want! Because Hal really ought to see Prime and be like OH FOR GOD'S SAKE at some point anyway tbh.

[sofresh]

HAHA YES, that would be awesome! It can be one of the few good things Hal does before making things worse— I mean, thank goodness for Uncle Hal. ;;

I figure, they could probably interact for a few comments and then I'll ping you to hop in! Would that work?

[headinjuries]

Works fine! Just give me a holler when you want him.

PART 4 - NO EVIL SHALL ESCAPE MY SIGHT

[headinjuries]

soooooo

Anyone else planning on going red/want to be espionage buddies?

[kingtyrantranger]

So I've been waiting for the announcement of the giant monster from the moment I heard of it. I didn't want to spill it early.

Who wants to make a giant robot?
