> MARCH CR MEME

Happy March, Larkers! TIme to talk to you all again—though there isn't much that's too different from what we announced earlier today!

So, here we go!

◉ First off, in case you missed it: March Update. This covers AC (it's check-in only for March!), the Metaplot Engagement post for Monday, and Aftermath Power Up notes.

Our big catchup tool is our The Story So far page! No one needs to have this memorized, and hopefully our phrasing makes it easier to CTRL+F exactly what you need! The bullet points should cover the big meat, and it's up to you if you want to click to read further on anything. This will be updated again at the beginning of April!

◉ Check out our Setting Page for any ideas you might need about the world at large!

◉ We also recommend that you check out our JOBS PAGE and LOCATION PAGE to get the brain moving. As a quick note: everyone can add and create new locations for New Amsterdam (and, eventually, develop other megacities)! We'll always review them and reach out to you if any changes need to be made.

◉ Our monthly calendars are also a place where we do minimal worldbuilding, and it's where the mods leave monthly messages to our playerbase.

◉ The arrival log will be tomorrow! It's going to directly play into some larger metaplot elements while otherwise being low key, acting as a backdrop to the Opening Day for local baseball team, the New Amsterdam Koniki.

> CHARACTER

NAME: Damian Wayne
CANON: Injustice
JOURNAL: batricide
POWER: Flame Mimicry
JOB: Accountant for Red Wings
SUMMARY OF LAST MONTH: Baaaaasically nothing except trying to get some ground work done for his superhero team idea. Damian's keeping largely to himself and trying to do a lot of this himself! because he recently had an arm sawed off by a rich psychopath with very little anesthesia and is really struggling with what that's done to him psychologically.
PLANS FOR THE NEXT MONTH: continuing to lay the groundwork for the justice league (name pending) and cope with his new prosthetic arm. damian doesn't deal with feeling powerless very well and will probably continue to not deal with it particularly well as he channels his energy into something else, at the expense of everything else in his life. he's going to be focused on building a base of operations and probably with trying to create scrambler masks that suit his purposes. the only thing he feels good or confident at is being a hero so he's throwing his whole self into doing that, whereras his social confidence is shot and he doesn't know what to do. he'll probably be limiting how much he's on the network and what he actually says on it, since he's more or less convinced he's a fuckup and can't do anything right and the less he talks the less people will see it.

he's probably been withdrawing from people more and will probably continue to do so as he listens to that little voice in his head that tells him he's not good enough and will never be good enough for anyone, so why is he bothering at all? tragic stuff. someone please drag him out of his own head before he puts on a cowl and never takes it off.

he's putting the maeda family in his crosshairs and will probably come out publicly with what they've done to him once he has a little more information and a better idea of what the fuck to do about them. since, like, at this point aoi maeda is literally a batman villain and he's not convinced she's not crazy enough to start mass murdering to make a point.
AREAS OF INTEREST: superheroing, weaponizing his new fucking arm instead of coping with the loss like a normal person, animals, attacking the maeda family
HANDWAVED CR OPPORTUNITIES: He's going to be going back to training people!
OVERALL GOALS: OOCLY i've been kind of out of it because my life the past few months has just been totally bonkers so mostly i just want to get back on track. mostly damian wants to create his superhero team and use that to prop up his withering self-esteem and self-worth. he wants to go back to doing good the only way he's comfortable doing it.
ANYTHING ELSE: damian @ damian
