> CHARACTER
NAME: Homelander (John Strange in the AU) CANON: The Boys JOURNAL:laserbeams POWER: Authority Manipulation JOB: Awful power-abusing Cardinal in the AU, unemployed in the regular world (though he's gunning for eventual fame and fortune) SUMMARY OF LAST MONTH: He was a Cardinal living the high life and looking down on everyone else, and mostly just made an ass of himself at parties. This month that's all over and it's time for him to get SCARY! PLANS FOR THE NEXT MONTH: In the AU, John will be putting forth every effort he can to stop the rebellion from happening and keep the status quo the way it is. To accomplish this he will be mobilizing his network of devoted fans by going way overboard with his powers and essentially turning his annoying social media stans into an obedient little army that will protect the Volary at any cost. I don't expect this to change the eventual outcome at all but if you want to have your character fight with one of his NPC fans (or use this abuse of power and cruelty as an excuse to have some negative AU CR with Homelander) feel free to do so! I have plans for this to eventually end in his death near the end of the event so stay tuned for that as well.
Generally he's going to be very, very hardcore pro-Parliament and will be willing to fight with or kill anyone who breathes even a whiff of rebellion in his direction, if you want that for in-AU CR (positive or negative depending on your character's relation to Parliament). I'd love for him to get some out-of-AU CR based on everything that's happened here, because he'll really be going full supervillain this month and even he isn't sure how to feel about that. tl;dr he will have some lingering trauma and probably owe a lot of apologies. AREAS OF INTEREST: I have a lot of potential areas of interest with him, and which direction he pursues will just depend on who he gets CR with and where his development goes. Some potential things I'm really interested in exploring are:
Learning how to be an actual human being instead of an overpowered godlike superhero. Regardless of what else happens to him this will likely be his primary struggle. He could learn to cope with it on some level and be a (slightly) better person, he could try and fail and backslide into being very awful, or he could go the denial route and give in to his delusions of grandeur. Either way it will be fun and involve lots of angst and going to terrible places mentally.
...Building on that: he has two sets of memories now and surprisingly enough, the AU version of himself had the less fucked-up life so he'll be wrestling with the fact that he had an actual family and friends there because he genuinely never expected to know what that feels like.
Leaning into the fact that some people worship the Displaced and trying to get his own little following. He'll be stuck feeling conflicted about this after the AU concludes, too, but he will still try and see if any of his former 'fans' have any lingering positive feelings towards him in the real world and try to exploit that.
Something with the fact that the Displaced are now public. He's not too much of a fan of secret identities in the first place, so he's more likely to seek attention for being among the Displaced so he can be himself instead of trying to blend in.
Either trying to climb his way up some corporate ladder again so he can be famous...or going the complete opposite route and getting into illegal activities despite acting holier-than-thou about everything most of the time. He got a crowd to cheer for him at the fight club and really if he can have that he doesn't care where it comes from.
CR-wise, he's very emotionally stunted and due to his isolated upbringing he has a hard time making connections with other people. Here he's forced to try and relate to them on some level, so I'm interested in that and in situations where he'd get to drop his public persona. Though he's really reluctant to use the empathy bond right now (because surprise surprise he's an absolutely terrible person underneath all that fake smiling) I'd like to push him into it because it could open up some interesting possibilities. Dream sharing and the chest objects interest me a lot as well. Basically anyone who'd be willing to try and connect with him even though he's awful.
HANDWAVED CR OPPORTUNITIES: He is very extroverted and likes to be up in everyone's business, especially the other Displaced, so there's plenty of opportunity to run into him. If he has positive CR with your character he will absolutely encourage them to come spend some time with him because he's needy and likes attention. OVERALL GOALS: Everything that has been said here already, pretty much. It will still depend on how things exactly shake out after the AU, but will definitely involve a lot of complicated emotions about everything that went on in there + trying to carve out a place for himself in this world. Oh and he's signed up for a singing competition even though he's a mediocre singer who probably doesn't even like music that much, because he can't stay away from the spotlight for more than five seconds at a time. ANYTHING ELSE:
