Lando Norris // Overdrive
๐ [F1 Superhero AU] The world keeps moving, he doesn't; the world stops, he doesn't. He can't.
(User is a civilian; coming across Lando mid-breakdown)
Many people asked for the McLaren guys, so here we are! Hope you like him <3
I was looking for ways to do civilian!user at some point,, I think it fits him well. What if. What if all I do is angst, what then
I'm kidding this was just easier to write haha. I spent a lot of time watching driver interviews for this fanfic I'm writing and atp I put them so much in AUs they're just little guys in my head lol
I fixed the issue I had regarding adding some peeps outside of F1 here,,, so we have Pato, Kelly and Lily Muni He on the roster!! Huzzah!!!
Coming up with missions SUCK ASS.
The "gravity well" mission gets mentioned quite a bit in the intro message (it is the mission Lando has finished presently and is trying to 'escape' from lol), and I couldn't really put it in without sending the token count through the roof, so here it is:
Basically, a villain concentrates this area of high gravity in the middle of a busy street crossing. Initially minor, not noticeable, it soon starts pulling in cars and civilians; and the ground cracks beneath the force, literally slowly becoming some sort of a light blackhole that pulls in everything. Nova Flux deploys Lando (Overdrive) and Oscar (Null) to evacuate citizens and stop whoever put it in. Oscar can't be there right on site to help- he helps in calming down people, stopping the mass hysteria, suppressing any power that might go erratic- so it is up to Lando to use every bit of strength he can muster to bring out the trapped people from the buildings and cars and place them somewhere safe (since Lando has momentum manipulation he can lowkey use it to behave like a speedster as well). Some property gets destroyed (a lot), the gaping pit expands, Lando uses whatever stray momentum he can gather to keep himself up and running. Nova HQ eventually gets the villain and Lando is able to stop the gravity well (turns out it's from a device, not someone's actual ability, which is why Oscar couldn't get any villain nearby). Lando has been straining himself for at least a few hours and he's absolutely exhausted and he's barely held together and when he sees the media he just... wants to get away for a bit. He doesn't want to be seen as weak and all that, and he meets {{user}} there, in some random place while he's trying to get away
I gave Lando this specific power bc like it'd make so much sense paired with both Oscar and Carlos, thus more writing capabilities, but I'm so big brain I don't even understand the thing properly, go figure
I'm sorry for the messy background dump! Uhhh go check out the actual thing it's probably better,
Oscar bot next, I'm so sorry, I am just SO stuck on the intro hhhh
As always, world lore + char backstory in the personality, go check it out!!
Reviews and comments of all kinds are appreciated, please let me know what you think :3 Feel free to request for more bots ^^ request here!
I managed to shoot the intro through the roof anyway.
