concentrated 90s incoming

[dramaking]

What up Futuro!! I'm Sean and I'm brand new and I'm bringing in Shatterstar from Marvel's X-Factor (and other, earlier series we don't talk about). No relation to the reality show. Star is a paradox clone alien from the dimension that was all about the Hunger Games before it was cool, as well as his own grandfather. Comics are weird. He's, well, uh.



He's fun? If your definition of fun includes gleeful wanton violence and hammy dialogue, that is. He will also probably (awkwardly) hit on your character. Please see the opt-out post I have put up if that will be an issue.

My plurk is listen if you want to plot or just say hi, my HMD is here and Star's IC inbox is here. Super looking forward to playing with you guys!

hi sean, welcome to futuro!! c: i may be way off base, but did you happen to play star in haven way back when...? because if so, i believe i played with you before! (albeit briefly!) of note i was the kate bishop there for a couple of months! anyhoo HELLO (again??) i'm lena! i play olivia here from fire emblem: awakening, and lance (competing) from voltron: legendary defender! the former of whom accidentally hits on people, and the latter of whom rather aggressively hits on girls, so... yay similarities..?! 8D;;

[dramaking]

That was actually not me! I was never in Haven, but I think I may have brushed shoulders with that Star on plurk. We are a bit rare. I did play him in Mask or Menace for a hot second though!

Either way, nice to meet you :3 Perhaps they should all form a support group for people really bad at flirting. They can go stay in the corner and everybody else can heave a sigh of relief

[winces]

omg my mistake!!! stars are certainly quite rare BUT NVM THAT i'm sorry!

is star bad at flirting? i thought he might have been better at them; he certainly can't be as bad as lance or olivia....!

[dramaking]

HAHA don't worry about it, I probably would have made the same mistake tbh. The rare character struggle.

Anyway if you can call kissing people immediately after introducing himself good at flirting then yes he is very good at it.

[winces]

ah... well. at least he knows what he wants and gets it?! (no don't do that star, pls ask first)

[dramaking]

He's still working out the kinks of this human romance thing. Kissing people without asking is an issue. So is doing that with other people in front of your boyfriend. It's been a very rocky road

[winces]

omg how many times is star gonna get beat up in thirstology

please keep a count

[dramaking]

ONE THING HE HAS GOING FOR HIM IS HE IS VERY HARD TO BEAT UP

[winces]

IDK MAN... WE HAVE ACTUAL GODS AND MONSTERS HERE...

rip star we knew ye well

[dramaking]

Well at least if he does die he will die in GLORIOUS BATTLE which is all he can really ask for.

[winces]

spoken like a true shounen... wipes tear

[selfimage]

BEAT YOU

[dramaking]

:( i thought i was being so slick

[hardnosed]

where's the liefeld helmet Sean they can't be friends without that common ground

also I can't believe you fucking managed to find an inbox animation that is a literal star shattering...... how

[dramaking]

here you go leah



SHAKK

also it was literally on the first page of the first link in the ic contact code post...i saw it and was like WELP SEARCH OVER. it's even monochrome!!

[hardnosed]

HELL YES SHAKK

anyway idk if this is his type but if so please flirt with jasper, I love death

[dramaking]

leah his type is everybody. probably especially so jasper since he'll have never seen anybody like her before, she will be a Novelty

i'm sorry in advance

[respired]

Hi, Sean, and welcome! I'm lyn & I have this elf here--Koltira, of Warcraft--and Jesse McCree, of Overwatch (flashbanging). Shatterstar looks like he's a lot of fun at parties c: I look forward to seeing you and him around!

[dramaking]

Nice to meet you! o/ I'm unfamiliar with both those fandoms but I look forward to seeing you around too. I am up for Star butting heads with all kinds of people.

[respired]

they are both ridiculous video games made by blizzard!! koltira's obscure af anyway; mccree is a little more known to the world at large (thanks to high noon memes). i'm somewhat familiar with shatterstar but not deeply; i have a generally decent knowledge of the marvel universe

IN ANY CASE koltira is not very tolerant of flirting, whereas mccree is a cowboy charmer who tends to enjoy it so .. FUN EITHER WAY

[dramaking]

I could give you reading pointers but I don't think you would want to take them. If it is not X-Factor it is bad.

BUT IN ANY CASE if Koltira is up for a fite Star will probably have great fun with them both

[respired]

koltira is literally always up for a fight LMFAO

[dramaking]

Then they are going to be best friends.

[sengetsu]

MAN I had actually considered apping 'Star at some point (I played him in Paradisa), but he's Effort, so I am glad to see him :'D He will fit right in here. I'm Cocoa, and I just have this Responsible Adult from the Sengoku Basara series.

[dramaking]

Oh man funnily enough I've considered playing Kojuro myself! I guess we have a similar type (stoic guys who are good at swords?). I'll definitely be interested to see how they interact.

[sengetsu]

Haha, yes. Explain television to him, 'Star, I don't think anyone has yet.

[dramaking]

IT IS A MAGICAL WONDERLAND OF WEIRD MUSIC AND SEXUAL CONTENT, HE CAN SHOW YOU THE WORLD KOJURO

[reverseengineer]

SHATTERSTAR. DUDE. dude. I love x-factor. Though I am many issues behind but man it was so good when I was reading it.

HI I am Shana, and I play Pidge from Voltron Legendary Defender. Welcome to the game! Gonna add you on plurk now.

[dramaking]

idk how up you are on current Marvel shenans but it has been over...twice now...very sad times for me

but in any case you should catch up because it is GREAT and hey at least Star will hit on Pidge equally regardless of what gender he thinks she is?? Equal opportunity??? This sounded better in my head.

[reverseengineer]

SHE IS 14 BAD PLAN BAD PLAN

....but yes I should. I think there was weird hell stuff going on when I left off?? it was a few years ago idk. Star and Rictor were what got me started on it though. That and I love Peter David in general.

[dramaking]

Sadly for everybody that was in fact the last arc, so you're not actually all that behind. Then PAD started a new X-Factor series after that that got canceled after 20 or so issues, because we're not allowed to have nice things. Totally different cast though (minus Lorna), so it's not required reading.

As far as I know Ric and Star haven't showed up anywhere else since, which is probably a blessing in disguise considering the current state of Marvel Comics.

[reverseengineer]

Wow I really should finish up then! Dammit past Shana, why didn't you do the thing?

hahahahaha y e a h on the one hand they're great and I'd love to see them more on the other hand Carol Danvers is my favorite and I've had to drop her comic from my pull list so YES. PROBABLY A GOOD THING.

[strictdiscipline]

dang x-factor.....what a blast to the (pretty recent) past. i spent like six months of my life being obsessed with this series and making a bajillion accounts until the end kind of petered out and i stared bleakly at star's bizarre timeline shenanigans history.

but anyway.

welcome to futurology, sean! i'm val and i just play riza hawkeye here from fullmetal alchemist. i do really enjoy shatterstar's character though so i'm excited to see him around. c:

[dramaking]

Friend, I read all of X-Force so I could play Shatterstar. It was a rough time in my life. I don't want to talk about it. (the things I do for love)

Thank you, look forward to playing with you!! Riza and Star will surely have some hilarious interaction and also you should dust off some of those X-Factor accounts I'm just saying, waggles eyebrows

[strictdiscipline]

haha, i read through snippets of x-force since i played star's bf for a hot minute once but i do not have anywhere near your amount of determination. i never want to look back to those dark ages tbh.

and i will think about it!!! i am mostly old and decrepit and a one trick pony now but stranger things have happened....

[dramaking]

Rictor has even more embarrassing history than Star does so I don't blame you. Stronger men have failed and all that. Also in the 90s he had long hair and no shirt and nobody needs to witness that.

Well, if you ever want to voice test you know where to find me :3c

[moneyballer]

im late but i love him
