An MA Arc I'd like someone to do for me...

Hello, all.

First off, I adore the MA system, for about five hundred reasons. But that's not what brings me here.

What brings me here is this thread (well, this idea).

I have no idea how hard a Mission Architect arc is to make for people who enjoy this sort of thing. I know I had a really really good idea for an Arc - the Freakshow have gotten ahold of Rikti technology, and are trying to incorporate it into themselves, and you've got to save the Freaks from the Rikti while saving Paragon City from the Freaks ... aaaand then found out that arc actually already exists in-game. (This reassured me my idea was good, though.)

My main is a Fire / Fire blaster (with no powers from her secondary) named Irresistible Inferno. She's essentially my answer to the question, "What if Paris Hilton was Batman?". She actively avoids recognition as a superhero (including a magical you-can't-recognize-me effect), while in her "normal" life, she plays the socialite media-hungry dilettante everyone knows - and most dislike. (Yes, I know it's cliche. That's the point.)

When Flambeaux was introduced, I immediately "adopted" her as Inferno's "nemesis" - a media-hungry Fire / Fire character. Flambeaux started claiming credit for Inferno's actions - and started resenting Inferno for "stealing her schtick" and - essentially - being the actual hero Flambeaux wished she was. It actually worked out really well with the tip missions as I leveled, to be honest - Flambeaux descended into, well, comic-book crazy, while Inferno solidly placed herself on the path to being a "real" hero.

So, here's what I'm looking for.

I'd like a Mission in the high range (Inferno is level 45) that's challenging for a solo character, and a small (3-5 character) group. I'd like the arc to explore Flambeaux's interactions with Inferno, with multiple face-offs with Flambeaux and her Henchmen-du-Jour, and Flambeaux attempting more and more outrageous acts to "get even" with Inferno for her (imagined) slights - really, to try to destroy, defame, or ruin the person she envies (but she can't admit her envy to herself, either). I'm willing to describe my character in further detail to the writer(s), if required to help make the arc interesting / stimulating. I'm looking for a story with pathos - a story I can get interested in, that's about my character, that I don't know the end of and am interested in.

And I'm willing to pay for it. (With Inf, mind.)

Special thanks to MaestroMavius for the idea.

I am currently working on an arc of mine that I would like to finish, but as soon as I am done, this may have to be my next project. One question though...which server are you on?

...wait, what? AE is Server-specific?

...

My mind reels.

AE missions can be saved, though, right? As a local / text file? So, you could then, like, email it along to me, so it would even occupy one of my AE slots, not one of yours?

...all that said, I'm on Virtue.

No, AE isn't server specific. But he may want to make it on your local server so you could join him in test mode to check it out before it's published or emailed to you.


Craft your inventions in AE!!

Play "Crafter's Cafe" - Arc #487283. A 1 mission, NON-COMBAT AE arc with workable invention tables!

Oh, good thinking. Although, it (somewhat) subverts my desire to be surprised by the events / plot.

Haha. Don't worry. I was wondering more because I play on Guardian and my main (and only 50) is a Fire^3 blaster named Firequeen. I was thinking I might make her the contact since she is semi-retired anyway.

If you would rather I not do that though, then that is perfectly fine. And it doesn't make sense if you aren't on Guardian anyway.

For the record, I think that'd have been pretty awesome.
