four IC posts:[break][break]
[break][break]
summarize two plot points that are in-progress and being threaded:
[break][break]
- councilman, ceo, & father[break][break]
ADJUSTMENT
[break]since ascending to councilman, gabriel has sat back and absorbed the processes, and information, of his role. this is doubly more important after the events of the Sea!Hoenn raid, where gabriel loses an arm. he realizes that he's no longer the head honcho, and needs to adjust accordingly. this has spurred on his EVOLUTION plot-line, as well as given him a number of pathways stemming to a number of high-profile characters, league and rocket alike.
[break][break]
a number of threads happen specifically as a DIRECT RESULT of the AA2 RAID.
[break][break]
in TARNISHED PRIDE we see elite four member Kazimir Wynter visiting gabriel in his hospital room, impressed by the way he handled himself. the thread is still on-going, but is one the few rare threads where gabriel is 'vulnerable'.
[break][break]
on the other hand, in CURTAIL, gabriel is once again visited, but this time by FERNANDO SILPH . here, fernando gives gabriel a warning on the nature of avatars, and the sacrifice they must make. he takes this lesson to heart, committing himself never to accept to become a herald of any creature.
[break][break]
staged after the events of the hospital, and just beginning his journey back to work, ROCKS AND GLASS HOUSES has gabriel meeting the council's newest assistant, iseult babineaux . she comes upon his office during an episode, with gabriel nearly on the edge of a panic attack.
[break][break]
after much contemplation on the nature of avatars, and his own place in this realm, he finds himself caught in a ILL TIMED space-time rift with Lulu Flint . they conversate, for a small time, before he begins to question her connection to darkrai.
[break][break]
OFFICE RESPONSBILITIES [break]now comfortable and settled into his role as a 'councilman', gabriel begins to enact the duties of his office. this ranges from overseeing specific league canons, and pushing their plots, to assisting non-canons in their specific goals. all of these, while beneficial to the league as a whole, are designed to increase his own influence with each specific member. of course, this isn't something he just goes around telling people though, is it?
[break][break]
a recent addition with DEREK HOFFMAN , Adrian Malcolm , and councilwoman PENELOPE LIVY , gabriel and his fellow council member SIT DOWN to speak to one of the league's finest gym leaders, working together to solve one of hoenn's biggest questions...[break][break]
in EYE FOR DETAILS, gabriel visits illeana reyes 's lab, and begins to ask questions about the nature of her work. having recently been placed 'in charge' of the league's scientists, he takes this role seriously. these questions naturally include the space-time distortions, the creation trio (a personal project of illeana reyes 's), and even the events of TOLERATE IT where she creates an unauthorized breech in-between dimensions. he expresses that she should trust him, and that he will shield her from those whose reach is far too long.
[break][break]
after learning about Eva Morales 's attacks (KING WAYLAND & bryan delarosa ), gabriel calls both the professor and PENELOPE LIVY to his office. here he asks Eva Morales to relay her experience for the reporter, so that she may run a report that paints rocket in a more negative light, than he feels they've been getting recently. this meeting evolves when they get more in-depth into this figure known as the 'Wolf' (bryan delarosa ), and their combined experiences + MATIAS SILPH 's with him. thus, gabriel tasks the duo to do all they can to find out information on this figure.
[break][break]
in a DIRECT FOLLOW-ON to this this thread, POWER STRUGGLE goes into detail of PENELOPE LIVY and CIAN MAHER 's encounter with the deer-god XENEREAS and its herald, bryan delarosa . he reviews the report, and the two discuss at length their views on it, and the way forward.
[break][break]
in RECONVENE, former council woman freya morningstar comes to gabriel's office, and they discuss the revelation of gabriel's place in this world, at least, compared to godly heralds. but, she's come to him with a purpose, and it's about a certain emerald scaled god-serpent.
[break][break]
a number of other sub-plots with other league members are in the works as well, with a great number of 'relationship' building threads, as well as 'talent recognizing' threads. while there are bigger plans in place for many of these, i am not yet ready to reveal it (AA3 maybe?) and i'll list these BENEATH the spoiler.
[break][break]
[break]in the thread THUNDERCLAP, gabriel invites rising star boruta maher to a training session against one the league's powerful mythic pokemon. designed to assess the ranger's abilities, gabriel keeps the true reason a secret. [break][break] gabriel reaches out to the son of a family friend, who'd recently passed, in ROCK BOTTOM. he gives @fenris a harsh lesson in life, and takes him under his wing. no doubt a grueling, hellish process, it will shape the boy into a man. [break][break] in a number of threads, to include SUNNY DAY, BANK ROBBERY, and ANCIENT, gabriel and MATIAS SILPH make a deadly duo. [break][break] in PLACING A BET, gabriel has a unique conversation with a noble from kalos, one Elisabeth Fiorelli . this spawns the P.I FILE: ELISABETH, where gabriel's paranoia and constant need to be ahead of the curve, shines through. also, it's an incredibly insightful piece into a character that makes the worldbuilding all the more fun. [break][break] in a thread with recent league endorsement receiving paxton concordas , the duo are tasked with BEATING KYOGRE CULTISTS. gabriel let's the man, credited with saving dahlia's life, take the lead in this endeavor.
[break]
FAMILY
[break]a huge part of gabriel's character is his family. while not a dotting, or really even a present father, since inheriting the company from his own, his desire to put (and keep) them at the top, is one of his primary motivations.
[break][break]
BELOW the spoiler is a couple of threads with his children!
[break][break]
[break]in ARMLESS, the volatile relationship between gabriel and his heir URIAH BLACK continue. in the wake up AA2, and the profound lesson imparted onto him, gabriel announces to his oldest he will have no heir. no one will have the company. no one deserves it. finally, his son starts to get some spine. [break][break] a late night surprise by Jessica Manner , A CHILD OF MINE, leads to the news of her fiancés death, and the concrete fact that he has a grandchild. even now, gabe keeps her at arms length, but soothes the child while he tells her to deal with her more pressing issues. [break][break] gabriel attempts to impart a life lesson onto his son, @adrial , as OLD WAYS come to a head.
[break][break]
BUSINESS CONNECTIONS
[break]despite still being a councilman, he's a also a chief executive officer (ceo) of his own company. deals still need to be negotiated, connections made.
[break][break]
as skyler dross and angelo vestri begin to bring their company NAUTICA to life, there are a number of transactions (read: threads/business dealings) between the two of them, and gabriel, as he's brought into the fold as a business partner!
[break][break]
in SHIPPING, gabriel visits the pharmacutical company that his friend created, but is now headed by his son, jayden cross . he gets a tour, and they discuss business opportunities. a meal ensues.
[break][break]
the first of THREE threads with @nikita , VENEER showcases their interactions as gabriel finds a suitable arm. as things progress, the intention is to get a more better defined business relationship, but that depends on his EVOLUTION plotline...[break][break] - EVOLUTION[break][break]
this project is a recent addition, spawned from the events of AA2, ILL TIMED with Lulu Flint , and CURTAIL with FERNANDO SILPH , to name a few.
[break][break]
this is a more secretive project, with only one IC person having been told of it. this character, THEO BECKETT , was informed in COLLECTION, and is currently listed as 'in-progress'. however, this plot will continue through this event, and the next (and more, if needed), until he achieves his goal.
[break][break]
outside of this thread, gabriel is given authorization in SMOHKE AND MIRRORS to see GENERAL SMOHKE, a megalopolan general from the ULTRA BEAST WARS his intentions yet unknown, it's aimed to play a greater part into his search for... something...
[break][break]
comments:the end of 2022, and beginning of 2023 is looking to be very interesting with some things i have in store. if there's any questions, or interest in things i've placed up above, feel free to reach out! i'm always itching for more council and CEO plots![break][break]
