m_legacies_ooc | X-Men Plot Planning

Howdy guys! Now that we have the team rolling and some report with one another, there have been a few ideas thrown out that bear discussing. Beth has some ideas for Weapon X shenanigans, and Corey has some things she would like Astra to do, so I figured that we should make a post and discuss it and come up with some plottage. :)

Corey wants for Astra to save Gene's life in some way, thus proving her trust worthiness. I am more than willing to put Gene in any kind of bad situation. These are the things Beth would like to see:

1) David's Mother is still alive. She's being held by Weapon X somewhere for future blackmail. Also she has an unexpressed X gene that they have been using as a template to help give their operatives secondary mutations outside of the healing factor.

2) The doctor David trusts finds a way to plant a message on one of the Weapon Xers or David to find to tell him that they have his Mom.

3) He finds out the doctor has been found out and is slated for either readjustment or getting outright killed. David wants to save her from that fate.

4) He also wants to find out where his Mother is at to save her.

So.. Here is my thought. Weapon X still wants Gene, and they lost David. Maybe there is some sort of mission that the Roughnecks get sent on that is really a cover for the Weapon X retreval attempt? I wouldn't mind seeing Gene be captured so that the chain of command in the team was given a chance to shine. The Roughnecks train a lot. They are a very cohesive and capable force. It would be really cool to see the team loose Gene as its figurehead and still function like a well oiled machine. Yea, Gene is the CO, but I really want it to be established that the team works so well because of everyone who is there, and not because Gene makes the team work.

Any other ideas I have are not fully formed, at the moment. Some bloody injuries for all involved would be nice. Ultra risk, ultra violence also. There are ways for your character to stay non-lethal if you wish, tho I see Gene and David and perhaps Astra (in particular) being pressed to use deadly measures, from what people are having ideas of what they'd like.

Anyways, post and let me know what you think!
