Contact: quantumvelvet Can We Add You: Sure, just give me a heads up if you don't have your games/characters in your profile. Extra: My plurk is mostly RP, with some RL and the occasional bit of video game or tabletop content tossed in. I'm here for mystery and horror, and to play with how that impacts character and relationship development. Hurt/comfort's definitely a part of that, but I'm also here for codependence, thorny loyalties, and backstabbing.
Canon: MCU Age: Early 30s. Ish. It's complicated. Housing: ADI housing, apartment C2 Entity Affiliation(s): None, and while I'm not ruling anything out, I have no plans for her to pick one up currently. Permissions: HERE
Information: Yelena is the product of a horrible nightmare factory that trained young girls as spies and assassins, with all the trauma that implies. She's cynical and pragmatic, with a moral compass that's more intact than one might expect given her background, but is still undeniably skewed. She comes off as fairly friendly most of the time, but is slow to actually let people in, and prone to deflecting. If someone does get inside her guard, though, she's loyal to a fault.
While she's accustomed to dealing with some genuinely horrifying things and pretty good at keeping her reactions locked down, the last several events have been rough, and she's not doing nearly as well as she pretends to be. She's also deeply frustrated by the feeling of treading water and just barely keeping pace with various disasters, which the current event definitely isn't helping.
ADI Thoughts: She trusts ADI approximately as far as she can throw their headquarters. She's willing to work with them for now because that's where the answers are likely to be, but she thinks they're a lot more sinister than they pretend to be, and finds some of their tactics questionable. While she thinks it's fairly obvious they're being targetted at this point, she also thinks it's entirely possible that they deserve it.
She works in Investigations, and as yet hasn't joined a secondary department, but does colonize the library with some regularity.
CR Wanted: Friends, allies of necessity, fellow suspicious assholes to build a big old conspiracy board with. Yelena does have a few people she trusts, but I'd love to grow that list a little, and events can be an excellent jumping off point for some fire-forged friends action. I'm also very much open to negative CR, both in the sense of personality clashes that can make for some entertaining reluctant teamwork and in the sense of characters who are at cross-purposes or are genuinely hostile. CR Not Wanted: Nothing I can think of. Extra: Yelena's canonpoint is the end of the Black Widow movie, and I don't currently have any plans to canon update her, mostly because the update mechanism would require a pretty major push for her to go for it. I don't think that impacts anyone currently in the game, so this is mostly for disclosure purposes.
Idk exactly how they'd get along, but I do think Yelena's sense of humor is right in line with Garner's, so maybe we can find a time for them to run into each other and see how it goes? He can't see the conspiracy board, but he'd be willing to help brainstorm it!
I'm definitely up for bouncing them off of one another to see how things shake out! They're in the same apartment block, so we could potentially backdate something to the snowpocalypse, or see what March brings and go from there. How is it almost March already?
I didn't manage to get a top level up for the event because time is a filthy lie, but I'm planning an open post for the month. Do any of the TDM prompts strike your fancy?
I'd be down for doing something with the Trick of the Dark prompt. Maybe bonding over trying to escape from the shadow woman, or subduing some poor townies?
Let's absolutely do something with the shadow woman! I'm thinking about putting up an open thing with the event going up, so I'd be happy to put something (open or closed) for them there!
