+1 Blond Loser Secret Dork

[walkingballpit]

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

MARIE HELLO I'M SO EXCITED YOU APPED...?! Because you're great and Robbie's great and I think this'll just be really great all around. ♥

But yes, welcome!! It's Trap, and I just play Superboy here. I can't wait to play with you again...!

I'm still cry-laughing over the fact that we have 4 New Warriors and only one MCU in this cast how even -

Hi! I'm Sam, and...I play Sam. (Sad coincidences.) And a few other losers. I look forward to shenanigans!

(I am shooting you a plurk add, mine's estamir, but if you don't want a mod in your space just ignore it, no hard feelings. o7 )

Hi there! I'm Korel, one of your friendly neighborhood mods. I play Rich here and also Dipper Pines from Gravity Falls and Nick Wilde from Zootopia.

I'm really psyched to toss Rich at Robbie.

I friended you on plurk but same deal as Sam, if you'd prefer to not have a mod up in your grill, it's fine if you don't want to friend back.

Hello and welcome! I'm Kia and I play Agent Washington, who is not terribly thrilled to be here like he gets a choice. I'm on Plurk at Kiaxet and I will be adding you shortly. :Db

HELLO MARIE, welcome to the game! My name's Luis, and I play Reinhardt from Overwatch, and Gohan from DBZ! I only know a LITTLE bit of New Warriors, like, from the run right after they pick up Sam as Nova. BUT YES I hope you have fun here!

Hello! I'm Kaylin, one of the mods. I play Parker from Leverage and Tadashi Hamada from Big Hero 6! If Robbie ever wants to discuss powers-that-suck, Tadashi has a whole heck of a lot to say about fire-powers when you just almost died in a burning building.
