Character Name: Nebula
Territory: Solvunn
Rank: 2

Afflictions: (Which Herald is in your character's territory? What aspects of this are you planning to play with? Are you interested in your character exploring how to save others or will your character be affected themselves?)

As someone in Solvunn, Nebula will have to deal with Sannleikr. She will listen to the fourth Heralds explanation and ultimately decide they are wrong. Her morals as a Guardian telling her that causing more destruction isn't the answer. Also... Looks at her dad, looks away. She simply wouldn't agree.

So the things I would like to play with:

1. Nebula does have restore and pain reduction that are essentially healing abilities I haven't done anything with yet. I would - for her counter? - like restore to kind of take on a mental aspect of it. So in this case restoring some form of memory/sanity* (I'd make it her event gain... sorry Nebula, no combat powers for you). So ultimately I would really like the chance to play out threads where she takes an active role in trying to figure out/use these skills because she's been kind of shy of them.

2. I DO WANT COMBAT THREADS. Of some kind. She'll actively avoid severely injuring/killing things, but also... I want people to see she is very capable of that if she wanted to! Like... Snaps neck without hesitation level. Maybe she has to do something to keep someone safe?

She'll even avoid hurting the animals... even the goats (screw the goats).

3. So one thing I haven't super played with is that because Nebula's mind is partly a computer and electronics don't function in Abraxas!!! I play with she has some memory issues - not an extreme amount since it wouldn't be fun w/e but she's been actively avoiding mentioning she has trouble recalling stuff to begin with (which is the route I go with it - she can remember something, but the recall process takes a while for anything not made in Abraxas don't look at me cyborgs are difficult in ye olde times).

And because of that I wouldd towards the end of time have her struggling a bit more. She already has memory issues: Forgetting someone is a friend wouldn't be without reason to start with. And I'd like to take it as a time to fight her natural disposition (far softer) with the nurtured one (anger, paranoia) since that'll be heightened more with time.

IDK if this makes sense but considering dreams of harmful acts and visions of red are her Older Forte making her feel isolated like she was with under Thanos and combative in a way towards the end and having to be talked down/reminded she can change or what not...

Could be fun. I have no idea if I make sense please tell me if I don't.

Horizon:
Harder for me to kind of think of because Nebula currently kind of avoids the Horizon and only creates on accident. So I'm going with it's the Emergent reality that's a little more home-y and has memoirs of the Guardians people she cares for there. And since Nebula actively seeks out not to so her soft underbelly....

I think that in itself, just the openness will effect some things! And I'm happy to spill weird things over to other people's.


General plans:

I think I kind of laid out my hopes above but ultimately: What I really want to use this is a chance to put Nebula really out there. I also want to play with the idea that she still sees herself as an unforgiveable monster and this event could pull that out/play with it? And I think it's a good time for it simply BECAUSE Nebula is fully coming into her own but the one thing holding her back is this self-loathing of all the things she did.

Since as Gunn says, "Nebula is not forgiving herself for anything she's done," and I don't think she needs forgiveness. But I do think she also needs to be told that what she did to survive doesn't make her an evil person forever cause I... think she still struggles with that. And just having feelings.

So playing around with that!! If anyone wants to, since the Heralds will Definitely pull out a lot of those fiercer, crazier elements out of her.
