howard stark | mcu.

[inventor]

Howdy, howdy neighborinos!

I'm Ellie and I'm playing this asshole here (Howard Stark). You can find me at billyclub.

The most important thing to know about Howard is that he will hit on any woman with a pulse. The second most important thing to know is that Howard will not remember anything — not even his name. idk how long I'll keep him that way (tho definitely passed the mandatory two weeks) but BASICALLY he's gonna be like professor farnsworth from futurama for a while (tho, sadly, the amnesia doesn't mean that he won't still be a dick who hits on all the women). He will also run the local electronics/repair store, so if you need a job, stop by (EXCEPT FOR YOU JEFFERSON).

His app is here and if you have any other questions, feel free to ask c':

HOWARD. Yes. Hi Ellie! I'm Brandon and I play Damon Salvatore from the show where Vampires have lots of Feelings and sometimes have to Jot them down in Diaries. Looking forward to that amnesia interaction!

[inventor]

hey gurl hey

literally all i know about vampire dairies is that damon's an asshole. that's the limit of my knowledge

BUT HEY lets have these assholes be assholes with each other

[unforgivably]

LMAO. that's all you need to know. it's his default setting.

YES. less womanizing on Damon's part because of reasons, but assholes for sure

[malignans]

hello ellie! my name is crystal & it's nice to meet you.

i think it's p baller that you're gonna play around more with that amnesia mechanic. i haven't fully decided myself how i'mma do it, but i'll def be interested to see how things pan out with howard.

looking forward to playing with ya!

[inventor]

the idea of howard wandering around the town with no memory, basically a 4 y/o with a mustache, is LITERALLY the reason i joined this game. it's hilarious

like, i'm not kidding when i say that, you could tell probably convince him of anything, provided it's said with enough authority. his name is mr. poopyenmeyer? that sounds fake, but it's more info than he's got now!

in all seriousness tho, if you wanna talk about the amnesia mechanic, hit me up. i got ideas yo

[malignans]

it's funny that you mention a 4y/o with a mustache because i've been watching preacher lately and i'm like JESSE, WHY DO YOU HAVE THAT WEIRD MUSTACHE... now whenever i see a howard stark around.

i can't tell if do or don't hope someone tries to convince him that's his name tho.

[ratkingcole]

Any woman with a pulse, you say?

More seriously: Thank you for going full amnesiac on us, I'm genuinely really interested to see how this plays out, particularly as he interacts more and more with the other player characters.

I assume you're going to go all the way with Wayward Pines memories as well?

[inventor]

ah no problem! any excuse i can get to make howard look stupid, i'll take!

ACTUALLY idk yet. that's probably something i oughta think about and, if not, ask you mods if it's ok if i don't. ngl i just really like the idea of howard not knowing what's going on and looking stupid

[ratkingcole]

If you're not into the idea of false memories, it's entirely optional! If you just want Howard to be clueless as to what's going on, then that is absolutely okay!

[oncekind]

Presenting a woman!

(Who is very likely to accidentally kill Howard if she's not careful) It'd be fun for her to recognize him later since she's lived through his era in MCU verse. I'm also not giving her her memories or name back for a while though.

[inventor]

LMAO YAAAS i don't remember bc i haven't watched her episodes since they first aired but do you think she knows that howard founded shield?

might add to that whole "hatred of humanity" thing, if she did (no joke, if you want her to hate him and try to kill him, I WOULD HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THAT)

[oncekind]

Oh gosh. I could totally handwave that she does. Since technically Peggy saved her from Reinhardt the first time.

/rubs hands together

[failtography]

omg this is coming out of the blue but i know you i've tagged your thor before I MIGHT BE MISREMEMBERING???? but i used to play loki @ snowborn if that seems in any way familiar!!

[inventor]

THAT'S POSSIBLE

we also played stuff from cabin pressure. i tagged your martin crieff with my princess theresa (~bobsled)

[failtography]

OH MY GOD IT'S YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOU yells hi

also prompto is given to tinkering a little here and there so if he needs a job or breaks his camera i'll be sure to dump him on howard's doorstep

[royalpassport]

WHY WOULD JEFFERSON WANT A JOB WITH YOU? HE'S STUCK SEEING YOU FOR THE REST OF THE DAY

[inventor]

oh baby don't be like that. we used to love each other, cared for each other at some point. that's why i want you to move on. i have. i want the best for you, jeff

(✿◠‿◠)

[royalpassport]

brb gonna make a bonfire with all of your clothes

[singly]

Hi, Ellie! I'm Erin, and it's nice to meet you. I'm bringing in Malia Tate from Teen Wolf and will toss you an add over on plurk here in a moment (from 'illusen'.)

How lucky for him that some of the women with pulses won't hesitate in punching him in the face. Or walk away. Or ask what the hell is up with his mustache -- after the unasked for flirting, since Malia's a mature adult. It should be so lovely to see!! I'm excited to see him in game and to play with you!

[inventor]

nah, i wouldn't worry about howard hitting on malia. she's still in high school, right? if she is, yeah he definitely won't. so don't worry

in his defense tho, by this point, there's always a flirtatious tone in his voice. he's a flirty lil bastard

[singly]

HA! No, this makes sense! To be honest, the various supernatural shows that derive from YA lit and stories alike tend to have their teenagers going around being all WE ARE THE MOST ADULT so that carries over naturally into comments I may make when talking about Malia.

She's def still in high school, yeah, at the tail end. And is also closer to 19 than 18. :3 But! I get this, completely!!

I just like the idea of her punching people too, oops.

LOL! He is!

[theophilia]

hi ellie! and hi howard...... poor memoryless howard. this should be v interesting, i'm excited to see how he handles this. (probably poorly lbr.) i'm anne, i'm playing enrico pucci from jojo's bizarre adventure, and--i'm looking forward to playing with you!

[inventor]

yeah howard's gonna have a broken brain sob the mods haven't gotten back to me yet, but i asked them how far we can play with the whole amnesia mechanic. i'm hoping to make his brain really broken lmaaaaao

i'm gonna add you on plurk, if that's ok

[theophilia]

RUIN HIS LIFE thats what rp is for...

sure thing! Im at passiones
