OCTOBER STATE OF THE GAME

[etrayamods]

⏵ October State of the Game and Arrivals ⏴ Hello, Etrayans! Welcome to the end of October! We hope you enjoy the Halloweeny mingle log that is going up alongside this post. 🎃 As a heads up: headmod will take a bit of a break through November due to life getting busy elsewhere! However, the mission, TDM, and everything else will go up as scheduled. Mod responses may be a little slower (as they have been through October also due to how unexpectedly busy it's been, our bad!) but outside of that, everything should still be running as usual! November is a mission month, but it will be a little more light-hearted in comparison to the previous mission! Using the feedback we received on our last post, we will be condensing the amount of time missions run down to one to two weeks, but will keep our schedule otherwise the same as it has been. This should, hopefully, give players time to complete their mission threads while also leaving plenty of space for characters to get into shenanigans around Etraya itself. If you have any questions, please put them under the mod queries top-level below. Additionally, don't forget your Activity! This is just a comment with your handle and characters' names for new players. ⏵ OOC INTRO ⏴ Welcome to the game, new arrivals!

PLAYER: Kia (she/her)
CONTACT: PM is the best way. I am on plurk @ tapsters, but not often. Discord available on request.

ABOUT YOU: I've been out of dwrp for quite a long time and recently came back after I got an itch to play again. Currently in my DC era that started with Arkham Knight. I've been consuming a lot of other DC media lately (mostly batman). Am otherwise mostly into video games. I'm in EST and work during the day so tend to get to tags in the evenings. I'm off on Mondays so I'm usually available all day. I'm cool with prose or brackets, though I tend to get back to bracket tags a bit faster than prose.

CHARACTER: My absolute favorite version of Superman: Hernan Guerra from Justice League: Gods and Monsters
CHARACTER INFO: Hernan is the son of Dru-Zod and Lara, rocketed to earth after Krypton's destruction. He was raised by a migrant couple and did not have the best of childhoods. He later teams up with Wonder Woman and Batman to form the Justice League. A lot of people do not like the league because they kill criminals and generally think themselves above the law. He's flirty and loves a good time though!

PLOTS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN: At his canon point, Hernan's facing a bit of a crisis. He lived a long time believing his bio dad was some kind brilliant scientist/hero and has recently discovered that Zod was actually responsible for Krypton's destruction. He doesn't feel responsible for Zod or his mistakes, but it is making him question his approach to heroics. So would love to explore that a little more thoroughly than the canon does. He's also just found out the government can kill him now so there's that. He'll take on just about any mission given to him since that's his bread and butter and will be interested in figuring out the mystery behind the plot.

hi

[sonofzod]

you're giving me a heart attack with that moon lmao

[brat]

i would say sorry for damian stabbings but

you did start with arkham knight so i feel like you knew what to expect

i was excited to see you apped tho and look forward to the shenanigans hernan gets into! damian will be happy to follow him around with knives and potentially kryptonite, if he can get his hands on it. and if he figures out who hernan is, exactly. 🔪

[sonofzod]

Oh man. Hernan has absolutely no experience with kryptonite so that would be amazing.

[brat]

sadly for hernan, he lacks clark's advantage of reminding damian that his bestie wouldn't want to play with him anymore if he killed his dad, so :' (

he'll get to enjoy the fun of being threatened and stalked constantly. as bats do

[sonofzod]

He already knows he's not indestructible but to find out he's got more than weakness is going to be A Lot. I am so ready.

[leastdramatic]

HI HELLO. I'm so happy to see someone playing from such a great but underappreciated DC movie. I love that AU so much and it's damn shame the staff couldn't make a sequel.

Jason is used to Boy Scout Supes so he'll be curious that this one's got a cooler jacket and a different attitude.

Also I may or may not have a barely used Kirk journal that I need to give more love

[sonofzod]

It was robbed!! Set it up for a sequel only to let it wither on the vine. I'm still salty about it. He's gonna like Jason I think, since they've got a pretty similar approach to crime fighting lmao. I can't wait for them to meet

yes please i would love for hernan to interact with canonmates

[leastdramatic]

It hurts knowing they even have a few character designs, like AU Green Lantern and AU Captain Marvel, saved for whatever plans they originally had.

When he was Robin, Jason once saw Clark absolutely pissed off and going to town on a supervillain so he might be a little wary at first of Hernan being too dark. But he'll relax once he sees they got similar moral codes. Also, advance apologies for any cracks Jason might make if he learns that Hernan's Batman is basically a vampire.

Oh god maybe PSLs first but I would love to explore more of this AU

[sonofzod]

Oh I didn’t know they had designs for other dc characters. That makes me even more salty.

I don’t think Hernan would 100% turn away from outright killing, but I think he’d be more selective about who gets the heat vision. So Jason could help him figure that out.

[leastdramatic]

It sure was a thing.

Jason understands and can help! This version of Jason is from after he’s scaled back on the violence but by his own admission, he still have his moments and is tempted. And of course his feelings about the Joker are rather… strong.

[twin_blade]

I enjoyed our thread on the TDM! One day, Vax will call in that favor.

[sonofzod]

Hernan pretending like he never said that. Vax might have to pester him a little bit lmao

[twin_blade]

LOL. That's fine, Vax can sling lots of insults.
