#rebuildtask6

“Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.”

For our sixth task, and the first of this new arc, we ask you to look to the future. To imagine what plots lay in wait for your character. This task is as ever, optional, but we especially encourage everyone to participate in this one!

This task comes in two parts. Part the first, come up with a list of plots. At least three, though more are welcome. Three plots or arcs you’d like to explore with your character. They can be personal, or related to the overall Skrull plot, they can be big or small, just some indication of the direction you’re taking your character. Will they be taken over by a Skrull at one point? Do you hope they fall in love? Are they  wrestling with inner demons that they need to face head on, once and for all? Explore your options and take your time fleshing them out in your list. Any questions or concerns, and you can contact the main. As always, major plot ideas like pregnancy or death or severe injury, should be run by admins first.

Onto part two! Once your list of plots is completed and posted with the tag ‘rebuildtask6′ it’s time to reach out to others. Read through the plots other people have come up with, and find a couple that interest you. Or if you see someone’s plot lining up with one of yours, reach out and see if you can make it work together! The point of this task is to foster a real sense of community and to help everybody move their plots forward. Don’t be afraid to ask each other questions, and keep an open mind -- maybe tweak your plots to fit with an interested party. But also remember to stay respectful. We’re all writers and adults, so if someone declines interest in your plot, that’s okay. There’s lots of us here. The main point is to have fun.

After this solo (see I have justification for writing insanely long solo pieces) Tony has finally decided to face his drinking problem head on. This is maybe the biggest challenge for him this season because he’s been struggling with it since he was a teenager, not even admitting it to himself. He’ll probably push people away for most of the season, put a strain on his relationships, but him opening up about his problems and getting some support as he works through this would also be amazing to explore.

With the Panel take-over, Tony can finally feel confident openly promoting the Accords – even though it’s been something he’s been doing all along, really. Taking up his role as PR guy, a job he is pretty good at if he says so himself, he’d come into contact with a lot of different people, both those who are for the Accords and who are against them. It could be interesting to have him helping those who decide to sign after the fact, or being able to work openly with those who are unregistered, which he couldn’t do under Orse.

The Skrulls have invaded, and Tony is searching for answers about them in any way he can. Having someone with him who wants to look into this too and try to find a way to identify them is his goal, although this would be a massive thing to plot out. I’m willing to have him looking into a few different leads as well!

“double vision from the blood we’ve shed”

Pietro is finally almost recovered from his … ‘accident’ in Sokovia, and willing to train harder than ever. Maybe he finds someone else who is wanting to get stronger, and they push each other to a new level, developing a friendship along the way. Maybe he just gets in a fight with your character and it pushes him to think up new ways to develop his powers (your character could catch him running from the cops, or see his dashing good looks and think there is no way he isn’t a super-villain. It’s understandable).

Now that the Avengers are back together, Pietro is dabbling in heroism. He could save someone’s life, or get his ass saved when he picks a fight he was never going to win. As he progresses over the season I’d like to explore him learning how to work alongside people who aren’t just his sister or his closest friends, to really learn what it means to be a team player – at least as much as Pietro can manage.

Despite the new Panel, Pietro will continue to protest against the government as a whole, and is still against the whole idea of the Accords. It could be fun to have him breaking in somewhere or committing a crime, and he’s either caught with or by someone else, and they have to get out together.
