BDE: Nemesis!

Nemesis Plot Info Post:

From September 18th - 21st, Fandom High will be seeing a new bunch of visitors to the island.

Nope. Not Family. Or Robots. Or dinosaurs.

It's your own worst enemy. (Unless your family, robots or dinosaurs are your worst enemy.)

How does that work? Well, elsewhere in the universe there is a parallel version of Fandom. One that is darker. Eviller. Like Fandom, their island is a small one with their own school (Nemesis Academy) and town except... y'know. EVIL. They know about Fandom and they want its oh-so-delicious steampunk technology and magical squirrels for their own nefarious needs.

As it so happens, this parallel island, aka "Nemesis Island," also has evil/darker opponents to our characters here in Fandom. In the course of the plot, various characters will face off against their evil counterpart either in a random encounter or in a tournament setting for what will hopefully be a good time for everyone.

Players will be allowed to pick their "Nemesis" character from either their canon or from another Fandom if they so wish. For example:

Canon Choice Examples:

* Rory may choose Paris Gellar to be her character to face off against.
* Cable may choose to have Stryfe be his character to face off against.


Different Fandom Choice:

* Deadpool could choose Slade Wilson aka The Terminator from DC Comics
* Worf could face an alien from the Predator movies.
* The Fandom Squirrels could face off against the Nemesis Chipmunks. #$@%ing Chipmunks.


A sign-up post will be going up shortly for everyone to sign up for their choice of enemies for them to face and must be approved by the administrators. If you decide to choose an enemy from a fandom present in our game, please make sure to check with the players in that fandom to make sure it is okay with them first. If you are looking to have a violent or heavy duty plot occur during this BDE, please make sure you submit it to the administrators for their approval. You can either write the opponent yourself, or recruit/draft/bribe someone else into writing him or her for you.

No original characters are allowed as a nemesis for your character.

During the plot you will have two options for how to have your character and his or her enemy interact:

Random Encounter: All approved nemesis characters will have encounters with the corresponding player characters in three days of chaos and insanity that will send the squirrels' minds a-spinning.

The Tournament: This is pretty much like it sounds. Players can apply to have their character face off against his or her nemesis in a "battle" of their choosing. And when I say battle I don't necessarily mean a fight scene where the two characters pound away and shoot each other. (Which yes probably will happen but...) For example:

* Ned could face off against Mrs. Lovett from Sweeney Todd in a baking competition.
* Turtle could face off against a teenaged Gordon Gekko from Wall Street in a day-trading competition
* Rikku could face off against Greed from Soulcaliber in trying to steal a certain item from a bank or Fortress.


The more imaginative your "tournament challenge," the more likely you'll have a chance to participate. There are limited slots, and only a few will go to conventional physical fights. While we might all like to have our characters walk away winners, for the purpose of the plot we'll need people also willing to lose their battles. Tournament participants will be chosen primarily based on plotty needs and the potential drama of the battle. If we get too many good applicants for the tournament, we will draw names out of the hat to decide who participates.

And of course because this is a Big Damn Event, it also means that there will be a Research Team and a Special Task force that will eventually help us save the day!

More details regarding the event will be revealed as we get closer to the 18th, but in the meantime we have OCD threads below to help us get this sucker started:

ETA: Deadline for Apps is September 10th

I need a nemesis! Michael has a few enemies, scattered through canon, but they all end up dead fairly quickly.

I'm also willing to be a nemesis, if anyone wants one I know how to play.

Meg will research. And preplay is just fine.

Sign Lois up. And I'm willing to do preplay.

Also, fun fact, the 21st of September is my birthday. I'll be around because I have an 9:30 class the next day.

...Turning 21 on a Sunday blows.

Sign Johnny up! Whoo! And I'm available for preplay.

Couple of things:

- If someone would like to play a Dan Humphrey to go against Chuck I would be soooooooo happy. Clearly, Chuck and Dan's acceptances to Fandom High and Nemesis Academy were switched in the mail.

- I cannot think of anything for Lois but then again it's probably really obvious but I can't see it because I haven't had food yet.

- I think Lily and Marshall should go against an evil couple. Like Boris and Natasha.

- Annnnnd I can play a nemesis as I'll be around all weekend save for a dinner or two and possibly watching my sister get a tattoo if she doesn't chicken out (yes, she has to plan this far ahead). My fandoms: BtVS, Arrested Development, Harry Potter, Supernatural, Scrubs, Psych, It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia, Indiana Jones, HIMYM, Veronica Mars, Gossip Girl, Red vs Blue, Charmed, 30 Rock and the Batman movies. Also I've seen a ton of movies so you can try asking me if I've seen such and such and I can tell you if I can play the character.

I might be able to pull off Dan for you. I even have the journal (and brought it out for the past future characters meme).

Ooooh yay! Can he tell everybody in earshot how he's only in Nemesis Academy on scholarship :D

Re: Brainstorming!

[identity profile] death-and-pies.livejournal.com 2008-08-24 02:23 pm (UTC)(link)
But, of course! Everyone must know that HE'S ON A SCHOLARSHIP OMG and his family doesn't have money like everyone else but HE IS BETTER THAN YOU.

And if everyone robbed a bank or jumped off a bridge, would you do it?

Re: QUESTIONS!

[identity profile] missed-the-gate.livejournal.com 2008-08-24 02:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Is there a limit on how many of one mun's characters can have a nemesis?

Meaning, even if none of them are in the tournament, could all five of my characters have a random encounter nemesis if I wanted?

Can two characters (in a coordinated manner) share one nemesis?

Sign Savannah up for this and I will be available for pre-play

Re: QUESTIONS!

[identity profile] walks-two-paths.livejournal.com 2008-08-24 03:39 pm (UTC)(link)
With Gwynn, does her nemesis only have to be from Princess of Thieves, or can it be any character from the Robin Hood world that would know of her family and of her?

Would I get to choose which one? Because I would rob the bank.

Re: Brainstorming!

[identity profile] neurotic-witch.livejournal.com 2008-08-24 04:20 pm (UTC)(link)
I can't think of a nemesis for Chris.

But I could probably play a nemesis for someone in: Bones, Heroes, Supernatural, Buffy, HIMYM, Torchwood, and probably other ones that I'm forgetting.

I think Ned should face off against some fandom's actual incarnation of Death. (Closest to an evil-ish death I can think of is Grim from Billy & Mandy) In an "I'm not touching you!" contest.

Francine.... has no nemesis. At least not in her own canon, and I'm drawing a blank on any other-canon concepts, though feel free to suggest them.

I am sucktastic at multi-tasking, but I could pull off playing one nemesis for somebody else, probably. Fandoms include BtVS/Angel, oldskool flavor Who, Strangers in Paradise, Neverwhere, a zillion book fandoms, and other things I'm forgetting because it's Sunday and I'm warm and sleepy.

Since Dick has the two strikes against him in that 1) all of the nemeses in the cartoon are Batman's (aside from Tony Zucco, who is years away from being relevant) and 2) he's playing the secret identity thing so close to the chest.

So I think it's best to go all Teen Titans here and ask if anyone thinks they can pull off Roy Harper (Speedy, Green Arrow's sidekick) (http://dcanimated.wikia.com/wiki/Speedy). Sure, he's not evil or anything, but still: rival sidekicks for billionaire crimefighters, both with secret identities. It's GOLD.

...can we play him with his drug problem?

Re: Brainstorming!

Hey, he's in DCAU continuity but he doesn't have any background aside from being GA's ex-sidekick, so I think bringing comics continuity into it is completely reasonable.

...Marshall and Lily should totally challenge Boris and Natasha to like, bowling or something.
