+1 Blond Loser Secret Dork
The rest of the New Warriors shut up, it's a total secret.
Hi everyone! I'm Marie, and I have come to mash another Marvel superhero character into this DC-based game as proof that App This Plz sometimes works!
I'll be bringing you another New Warrior, Speedball/Robbie Baldwin. He's from the end of the most recent volume, because that's the closest to happy and healthy he's been in 9 years, and I didn't want to pull from that far because New Kid Nova is here (Hey, Sam, what's up?). It would also make him way younger than I would like.
So Robbie is the cool Warrior nowadays, he's the funny cute one all the X-girls ask about, but he's actually carting around a lot of baggage due to the events before, during, and after Civil War that are too convoluted to get into in an intro post. He likes to act like it almost never happened, especially around teammates, so it's probably best to leave the full story out of.
The short of it is that Robbie has a history of self harm. I must ask all of you to head over to his permissions post and let me know if you want me to keep him away from your character entirely, to never mention it (rare anyway), or what would work best for you. If, if, if it does, with express consent, it will still have massive warnings on it.
In case anyone is curious, he's coming in with his standard power set of bouncy kinetic shield and energy bubbles. The post-Stamford, pain-fueled power is gone. I have not yet worked out how he'll discover that.
I imagine I'll be hearing from some of you to work stuff out, as needed.
Also, my flight home from Dragon*Con takes off in about 40 minutes. I'll be incommunicado until about midnight.
ETA: my Plurk is seemarierun

Also I'm laughing because Rich, Robbie, and Vance are all apparently giant piles of self-blame and "I failed my friends noooo." Vance in game has blamed himself for not being there at Stamford, Rich also blames himself despite knowing logically that if he hadn't gone to war that Earth would've been destroyed and also blames himself for not dragging Robbie away from the Thunderbolts, Robbie apparently blames himself for basically everything...
Clearly, all of them need Namorita to show up to slap some sense into them all.
SPEAKING of that, Rich would want Robbie to know he yanked Nita out of the timesteam from before she died, whoops, that happened. I am fairly sure that he would've told her about Stamford because she's a smart cookie and would've probably wondered why Rich felt the need to grab her if future Namorita was still alive. Not sure how you want that to go down but Rich wouldn't want to put it off forever.
no subject
Rich no. The last time someone told my Robbie in a meme that Namorita was alive, it nearly put Robbie in shock. (Seriously, do it. Robbie will cry though). I leave the when and where to you.
no subject
BTW, I mostly play Rich but I meme and psl some of the other NW, so I have icons made for most of them. (That's why I was in my old Robbie account a minute ago because I was resaving them since I lost the folder somehow). Do you want some extra icons?
no subject
I thought it was so I'd be breathing even harder into my paper bag about playing him when I'm out of practice. And yes, that would be nice. I'm still trapped in travel mode, so I haven't been able to upgrade his account to paid, but he does have 49 at least.
no subject
And here!
Congrats, you are now the proud owner of 94 new icons. Mostly the AA, Fear Itself, and I Am an Avenger stuff. If you ever want other NW icons, too, lemme know. If I don't already have a journal or icons for the character, I just like iconning.
no subject
Thank you! I admit at some point I just got so frustrated with the weird art and constant goggles face that I was like "whatever he's got 49 icons. I'm done."
Fear Itself and I Am an Avenger had some nice art though. I thought everyone looked perfect in IAAA. They looked the right age, they were dressed perfectly, IMO, for what they'd wear out, it was just really pretty art.
