m_legacies_oocOk, so we are on the verge of ready to go. A couple people need profiles, and we'll have in comm scenes going... quite possibly by this evening. So, while people are waiting, here's a little exercise.
We have a Tony, we probably have a Rachel Leighton. We may have at least one sidekick. Sig likely has an instructor. We have someone watching the com who has said she'll occasionally help with parents and such.... and we really want to encourage people to help each other out with support staff. So here's an exercise in 2 parts:
1. The easy one.
If you could have any 3 characters around as support for your main, who would they be? Parents, sidekicks, siblings, new takes on legacy concepts like War Machines for Starklings, etc. - who would they be?
A)
B)
C)
2. The tougher one.
This is not a hard commitment thread. Just something to get people thinking. Can you think of up to 3 supporting cast characters you might be willing to play if there was interest?
A)
B)
C)
Respond with answers. If you don't have 3 on either one, that's fine. This is just something to get people thinking and asking about each other's ideas.
As a side note, having done something like this before - support is easiest, and requires the least invites, if you do just one journal, and put 1-3 icons of each support char in it. They won't show up as much, so one icon is usually sufficient. Each one really doesn't usually need their own journal.
Regardless, this is obviously a thing for when we get more invites - just like villains and util journals would be... but we shouldn't need more than +1 invite per person for all of their support.

My thoughts so far
Date: 2011-09-09 08:21 pm (UTC)I'm all for other Asgardians, but if I had to pick 1 (read: 3), that'd be it.
However, because Sig crosses into Avalon so much, as long as at least one of the girls is Asgardian, I'd be awesome with the group including a Celtic bard, Celtic swordswoman, or any other such concept, or an Avalon style elf. A sorcerous type also welcome - ideas wide open, would love to work with an interested group.
2. I handed Zippy one of my concepts, as I /love/ her idea so hard.
A) Mortal Boy - leader of the Great Lakes Avengers when Brant isn't around. Stunt man and competent hero, not sure if he has his dad's immortality or not... and kind of hopes not, because "Where's the challenge in that?"
B) open
C) open

A) I'd totally love to have Clint and Bobbi around for Brant. Especially since, in this case, they're still around as a happily married couple. ^_^
B) I'd like to see something done with Barney Barton's side of the family, but I'm not exactly sure what? I really don't want to go the Mirrorverse-Darker-Side-of-Brant thing.
C) Open!
2. The tougher one.

A) I already agreed to play Carol Danvers because...I mean, come on. This is Carol Danvers. You don't say no to Ms. Marvel. :|
B) Open!
C) Open!

A) Billy and Teddy being around sometimes to play parents for Wally would be great.
B) Maybe a rival for Wally in the form of a Monica Rambeau kid? Someone that wanted 'Captain Marvel' as a codename but found out Wally had taken it already?
C) Maybe a nemesis in the form of a new Nitro
2. The tougher one.

A) I've been toying with an idea for a new Bucky. I don't have much solid about him just that he took up the costume and codename on his own
B) Open
C) Open
no subject
Date: 2011-09-09 11:55 pm (UTC)2A: Zippy was talking some about doing a Bucky as Peggy's little sister. So - awesome one way or another, if Dani approves, she'll have a Bucky... you three can work out how you're doing to work it all out.
Thanks for volunteering on support, regardless how things go.
no subject
Date: 2011-09-10 02:52 am (UTC)B - C. Some other X-Men types that he'd know from his childhood.
2. A. Anyone connected to the FF. Especially my version of HERBIE. :D
B-C Whoever yu manage to think of I'd like.
no subject
Date: 2011-09-10 02:58 am (UTC)2B-C) I'll ponder this, based on what I know of your fandoms.
no subject
Date: 2011-09-11 04:03 pm (UTC)A) A new War Machine/Rhodey might be cool
B) Sersi/Dane for Evan.
C) Possibly siblings/parents for my possible Wolverine kid that is brewing in my brains
2. I don't really have a 1, 2, 3 for this, I'm willing to play whatever is needed as long as my character load isn't too heavy at the time.

Date: 2011-09-14 06:02 pm (UTC)A) Hrm. I'd love some ordinary people around for Qamar, people to help him stay grounded. Teachers, fellow students, friends, a landlord, whatever.
B) Qamar's looking into whatever happened to Moon Knight. If someone could have some sort of support character tied to that, that'd be fantastic.
C) SHIELD agents. Nightingale's associated with SHIELD, so she's going to be teaming up from time to time with SHIELD agents.
Basically, someone to tie him to reality, someone to tie him to superherodom, and someone to tie him to superspy/anti-terrorist stuff.
2. The tougher one.
A) The Lunch Lady, a super-powered Great Lakes Avenger who can fire blasts of tuna melt (or other foods).
B) I could probably cover one of the Warriors Three. Mayhaps the Vostagg-like one?
C) I'd be happy to play someone's non-superhero love interest. Those are always fun.
