interest check

[calloperators]

This is the official interest check page for HOTLINE, a short-run murdergame based loosely around Hotline Miami. If you would like to know more about this setting, please direct yourself to the FAQ/rules page!

You don't have to be on either of the mods' plurklist to fill out this interest form--if there is significant interest in this game, we will consider opening it to the public.

Currently, we're looking to start sometime during April/May, though this may change based on interest. A start date will be announced later after taking into account the schedules of the moderators and potential players. If you have any further questions, please direct them to either Jeff jeffurson or Everett wolfnoir. Thank you very much!

Player Name: Ca
Character Considerations: Frank Castle (616), Frank Castle (The Punisher movies), Luke Cage (MCU), Detective Miller (The Expanse)
What is your preferred start date?: June? Probably.
Likelihood of joining: I really love this premise but April is gonna be busy af for me so just depends on start date, and also if other Marvels wanna join since it's a popular franchise.
Questions?: If I were to app Luke I guess he'd just be a nonpowered human since he's like virtually impossible to kill otherwise idk. I think that's it really!

[calloperators]

We'd have to discuss further details with you if you apped, but essentially, Luke would be unable to access his powers and thus be a functionally normal human.

[castigador]

That's what I figured! He also has the weakest premise in terms of "done bad things/crimes." He definitely has committed crimes, he's a vigilante and he escaped from prison etc etc but pretty much everything he's done in his life has been for a noble cause (almost, he strayed from the path for a bit.) Is it better for characters to be bad people/full on criminals or does it not matter how well-intentioned or small their criminal acts might be?

[calloperators]

A vigilante might be applicable depending on how their methods of going about bettering the world--for example, killing other people despite otherwise good intentions. There is no minimum "criminality", but we strongly encourage people to think about who they're apping and how they might apply to the setting. For example, someone who just littered probably isn't going to be as applicable to the plot as someone who actively stole or murdered someone, unless the person is somehow overwhelmed with guilt for littering. (Think Chidi Anagonye from The Good Place.)

[castigador]

So the crime itself doesn't matter, but the person should feel guilty about what they've done? Because that would rule this guy out lol.

[calloperators]

Not necessarily! Guilt isn't a requirement. We leave it to the discretion of the players, but again, we do ask that they carefully consider their character choices before they app.
