Gillian, Corbin, Valerie, et al

Summary:

What's Queens characters are looking to be doing in the 2018s.

Gillian, Corbin, Valerie, et al

thunderchild 20 Jan 2018 23:46

Gillian Childs (31), resuming her past identity, will be working with The Safe Zone Cooperative, having resettled pretty much as soon as the option was available with the intent of rebuilding the home that she'd lost and picking up the pieces. She's focusing on rebuilding and reopening Libraries within the Safe Zone, starting with the Brooklyn Public Library, where she will be working when the time skip opens up.

Corbin Ayers (42) works for SESA as a SESA Agent. And shares part of his brainpan with Hokuto-ghost. XD

Valerie (25) will depend on CERTAIN THINGS (like what her brothers and sister are up to and how the Five Years Gone scenes go, so I'm holding on setting her in stone).

Adel (29) will be working in conjunction with Wolfhound.

I am undecided on whether to keep Cash as an NPC or not, but I could see her being involved with Brian's Lighthouse idea, in an NPC shows up sometimes to talk cryptically, protect tiny Lance, sort of way.

Now expanded.

Gillian Childs (31):

She participated in the war, helping former Ferrymen and friends when they needed her power. She resumed her old identity once pardoned of past things and once she was sure that the future appeared on the right path. She also wrote three books. Two non-fiction accounts (with names and identities masked to protect those who don't want their contributions known). One of the Great Ice Storm and how certain sections of the Ferrymen helped to put an end to it, and the second one detailing how the Institute used Evolved, and the Evolved Registry like a shopping list to cause the Flash. The third is inspired by true events, which she called A Memory of Tomorrow. Which ended up being more fiction than fact. She may or may not be working on a fourth book while she works with the Safe Zone Cooperative to restore Libraries within the Safe Zone, starting with Brooklyn Public, where she works once again.

She will very likely be promoted to my FC since she's always been my main.

Corbin Ayers (42):

Same as above. Works for SESA. Also shares headspace with Hokuto.

Valerie Ray (25):

In 2018, Valerie has spent much of those years in the interim working on her life's dream, to be an architect. First, she had to get her life back, by confirming she was, actually, alive. (Though she is 25 years old, everything official says she's 29 cause the world just isn't ready for the time travel explanation for how she survived the destruction of Midtown). Then, she attended college out of state in 2014, until transferring to Brooklyn College when it opened again. She has graduated with a Bachelor of Architecture and is now currently a Masters student. She works with her brothers and sister.

Adel (29):

Uses the name Adel Lane (short for Varlane) in 2018. She is no longer SLC-Expressive thanks to Future Cardinal. She is working with Wolfhound under her future-past-present idol, Collete. And really wants to find Grampa Varlane.

Other:

I will also be NPCing Juniper (who will be open for adoption should someone else want her) and Cash in 2018. And probably others cause plots.

My 5th and final slot PC will be taken up by… someone.

I've been considering moving Iris from the Brooklyn College Library to the Brooklyn Public Library if Gillian has it up and running again by the time the story picks up in 2018 - I had thought she would be an amusing employee to have, helpful and enthusiastic but often found lost in the stacks reading instead of actually doing her job.

That said, I imagine Quinn will continue to check in on Gillian once we get closer to 2018 (as well as Jolene), and of course eventually she'll end up reconnecting with Adel so I dunno how much overlap you want there! Just a thought I figured I'd pitch your way.

And Rue and Adel should get to know each other in Wolfhound. :3

Gillian Childs, Aftermath Author!

A little after the war started, Gillian threw herself into the war efforts along with her daughter Jolene. They fought side by side most the time until Jolene was injured. After spending some time at Jolene's bedside, Gillian rejoined the effort only to suddenly have a breakdown at the end of the battle. This breakdown caused her to lose control of her ability, hitting anyone who touched her with purple lightning (which diminished and drained their energy but not outright negating them) and was blanket augmenting anyone within her range. She also was completely incoherent (she essentially suffered shell shock). If you wish to be among those who got her out of there or were present when that happened, feel free!

Second thing: Gillian is now a published author. You may have read her books, you may not have.

The first two books were published under a pseudonym (Leanne Lennox) and anyone who actually knows her probably knows Gillian wrote them. They are 'based on true events'. Whiteout, which is about the Blizzard of 2010 and the Ferry's efforts to end it (with identifies modified in many cases) and Shutdown which is about the Flash that hit New York and combined with her story of how it happened (again, with identifies modified) and with stories based on what people shared afterward on the Internet to show the outside effect. Both were a pretty decent success because of the countries demand stories about the Ferry. These books were dedicated to the Ferry members who helped stop the Blizzard and the second one did have a brief dedication 'For Peter'.

The third was published under her name and is essentially an SLC-based romance novel that uses hints of her own story. It's called A Memory of Tomorrow and is about a woman with the SLC ability to see through time (but not travel or interact with it). This novel isn't quite the success of the other two but still might have been read by many. Its dedication reads: To Nate, because what was never born, never dies. And to Eileen, because she who dies for others, lives on through them.

Feel free to have read any of them!

You know Eve coming in hot to save her biffle <3

Re: Gillian Childs, Aftermath Author!

Kimmers 07 Feb 2018 13:28

Hmmmm. Cooper might have read the romance novel. He'll call it research. Actually, if found on his coffee table at home he'll say it is Ellen's… yeah.

You know damn well Kaylee would have read them all.

Ygraine'll certainly have got hold of the novels. She's also gone into print, but with academic and factual accounts rather than feeling confident enough to try fiction - she'll be rather envious, in that regard. ;)

She's also very, very keen to have contact with Lene… which is likely to draw her into Gillian's orbit to whatever extent mother and daughter are happy with that. Fighting alongside them during the war would seem feasible, especially if they're working with Ryans' Ferry group (which the Endgamers are set to collaborate with at various points).

Savannah would likely have both read the books and wanted to get in contact. For conversations about authorly things, of course.

Valerie!

thunderchild 07 Feb 2018 00:26

I haven't finished her app yet, but Valerie would love to have a cool bodyguard! SLC-Expressive or Non it doesn't matter. If you'd be interested in apping her bodyguard, please contact me :D
