+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

For the Habitat area, I put in for Mount Wundagore, complete with
genocide planning roomhang out room. Also, I think I snuck in the Stamford Memorial as well, "due to a misunderstanding for how Mount Wundagore can exist in the same space as something else". No one said no, anyway, so that's now the lowest basement.But the Crash Pad, wow. I think that might hit Robbie as hard as seeing Rich and hearing about Nita (Robbie is going to apparently spend the first few days/weeks emotionally overloaded). He's going to stuff his face with pizza, so he doesn't have a chance to say something stupid like how his best Christmases were there.
Hello hello! I feel as if I have played with you in some game before, but I'm not really certain. The name is familiar, and that might just be due to Shard the character.

So many more than twelve, even...Vance doesn't even blame Angel for going off with the X-Men. She has her own life that she has to live and if that means not being a New Warrior right now, then that's what she has to do. One day, they'll be okay with each other again. (Which reminds me. I sort of ignore the whole Ultra Girl debacle. Because that has always stuck me as SO FAR out of character for Vance that it wasn't even funny.)
If he does say something like that, Vance will just defuse it by saying his best Christmases were there, too. Which, you know, has more to do with him being Jewish than anything else. Get everybody to laugh a bit.
It's possible. We may have run across each other in Dear_Multiverse, if you ever tooled around there. That's where the nickname comes from, actually. I used to play Shard there and my AIM handle is LitShard, which just ended up with people calling me Shard most of the time. Also, my actual name is Amanda and there's about a million of those around. I seem to be really good at slightly obscure characters.

That series should not have ended that soon.Robbie doesn't blame her; he misses her, but it's glaringly obvious that her and Vance are not ready to be around each other all the time yet. We can ignore the Ultra Girl debacle, but you should know in your heart that Robbie cherishes the memory of Angel putting Vance through the punch table. To him, we are now officially at the midpoint of Vangelica: The Rom-Com. She has gone off to find herself after triumphantly putting him through the punch table. They will reunite in the final reel.
Yeah, now I'm going to have to do it, because that would make Robbie laugh, and also be like "You can crack a joke?"
Hm. No, I don't know Dear Multiverse. Maybe I'm just mixing you up with someone. It's nice to meet you, anyway!
