The Places
Here, the places Black Widow's Army are in/have been in will be revealed and described in more detail.
Locations That Belong to the Movie Alliance
The Movie Alliance HQ: The Movie Alliance HQ is a very large building located somewhere near Chicago. Complete with things that vary from the simplest cafeterias and bathrooms to the most complex army bases and airports, this is where the important officials of the Movie Alliance work and keep track of what their Armies are up to. This place doesn't appear much in the roleplay, but whenever Black Widow's Army needs lots of help they head to their personal army base located in the Movie Alliance HQ (see "The Army Base" segment of this page below for more info on that).
The House: The normal home of the team is most commonly referred to as "the house." It is basically an ordinary house in the middle of the Chicago suburbs. The team can be found here often during the beginning and the end of the missions they go on. The way this house "blends in" with everything else and looks so normal helps keep the team's identities safe; however, that definitely doesn't fully prevent Andy from finding and attacking them. The house has been highly damaged or even completely destroyed by Andy's forces a couple of times, but the Movie Alliance always helps rebuild it if that happens.
The Fiji Resort: Whenever the team wants to go on vacation to a tropical paradise, all they need to do is board one of the Movie Alliance's planes and head down to Black Widow's Fiji resort. Beautiful and isolated, it is often a safer place for team members to be during conflicts with the Baddies, but unfortunately that's still not enough to keep Andy from coming after them. Like the house, the Fiji resort has been damaged by Andy's attacks before, but is quickly repaired with the help of the Alliance.
The Florida Resort: This is yet another one of Black Widow's resorts. It is located in a nice part of Florida near Orlando, so if any of the team members are big Disney fans this is the place to go to. This resort isn't visited as much and hasn't been attacked by Andy's army as of yet.
The Michigan Resort: Black Widow has yet another resort, and it is located in Michigan. Though its exact location is unknown, it is probably somewhere in northern Michigan. It was first mentioned in Mission #60:Bridge, where Andy was gradually taking over areas too close to the team for comfort and the team fled to Michigan and tried to get to the resort. After several battles on the way there, the team beat Andy's forces and peace was restored, allowing them to turn and go back to their suburban house rather than visit the resort. Therefore, the Michigan resort hasn't appeared yet in the roleplay.
The Army Base: Black Widow's Army has its own personal army base located in the Movie Alliance headquarters. This is only visited in case of emergency; it is used as a combat training center, an airport for the team's military-type aircraft, and a way for the team to get some new cars in case Andy blows up their own vehicles or something. Although not visited very often, the army base is vital to the team's survival.
The X-Mansion/Xavier's School For Gifted Youngsters: This place for "gifted youngsters" is a school for young mutants (which are a different species of human born with superpowers) and a safe haven for all mutants in general. It is the home and HQ of the X-Men (see "The Groups" page for info on them) and will be visited soon in the roleplay.
Locations That Belong to Andy
The Warehouse: The Warehouse is Andy's main HQ and the most well-known place that belongs to him. It is simply a large warehouse located in the middle of nowhere, complete with a boxing area where Andy's workers prepare and ship boxes of mystery items to certain places (which could possibly be other bases that belong to Andy), a complex security system, some dungeons, rooms full of supplies ranging from simple foods to complicated weapons, and a courtyard outside made specifically for whipping and/or executing enemies of Andy. In Mission #30:Conspiracy, the original Warehouse was blown up by the team, but in Mission #58:Clues it turned out that Andy and his followers had built a new and highly improved Warehouse. Overall, the Warehouse is probably the most dreaded place in the Movie Universe-to the team, of course.
The Apartment: Andy owns a simple, little apartment located not too far away from the team's house in Chicago. It is used for experimenting on team members; every now and then, Andy, Agatha, and Dante drag off some of the team members to this apartment, where they plunge syringes into the team members' necks. The team members are then sent into fake worlds that are produced in their minds through the serums. While this place is not as dangerous as the Warehouse, it is still shunned by Black Widow's Army.
The Castle: Having first appeared in Mission #45:Prisoner, the castle is a fortress that is located in some magical mountains and forests not too far away from Chicago; these mountains are part of Middle Earth (a realm that exists in The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings movies) and only exist in the Movie Universe. Whenever Andy has a certain prisoner he wants to specifically keep for a long period of time, he drags the prisoner off to the castle with him; one of the prisoners he most often took to the castle was Erica, the District 6 female tribute from The Hunger Games and a deceased team member. Other than being used to keep prisoners for long periods of time, Andy uses the castle as a hiding place for himself and an army base for his Orc followers.
Chicago: In Mission #62:Mockingjay, Andy temporarily took over Chicago. However, now Chicago has been restored and belongs to the United States of America once again. For more information on Chicago, scroll down and find the segment of the page labeled "Chicago" under the "Other Locations" category.
Army Bases: Although this has not yet been confirmed, Andy could have several other army bases that his followers pack and ship supplies to in the boxing room of the Warehouse. Another clue that says these army bases exist is that Andy has an uncountable amount of human soldiers and commandos, and there just isn't enough room in the Warehouse for all of them to be in when they are not waging war with the Movie Alliance.
Other Locations
Chicago: Chicago is located in the state of Illinois and is the third most populous city in the United States of America. Black Widow's Army lives in a house just outside Chicago, and the team constantly drives out of the suburban area and spend their free time enjoying themselves in this city. Chicago often is where a lot of the missions in this roleplay take place, and one of the most notable missions that is focused in Chicago is Mission #62:Mockingjay, where Andy took over the city and the team members visited many well-known skyscrapers (e.g. Willis Tower, the Trump Tower, and the John Hancock Observatory). Since Andy had literally owned the city for a short amount of time, you can find this among the various locations under the "Locations That Belong to Andy" category.
McDonald's: Though the team has definitely visited other restaurants, Black Widow's Army most often visits the nearest McDonald's whenever the team is in the mood for fast food. Of course, like in real life, the service isn't good, the food is very unhealthy, the PlayPlace is filthy, and, yes, the restaurant is often crowded with fat people-specifically a chubby boy named Tubby and his Fat Mom (go to the "Extra Characters" page for more info about them).
Mackinac Bridge: In Mission #60:Bridge, the team was on their way to Black Widow's Michigan resort when Andy and his forces attacked them and other people who were driving on the bridge. A very long and intense battle followed; though it was close, Black Widow's Army won. Therefore, Mackinac Bridge is a major landmark in the team's history.
New York City: NYC is the most populous city in the USA and is located in the state of New York. Although it hasn't appeared in the roleplay yet, it is often mentioned because a lot of the characters from movies based on Marvel Comics (e.g. The Avengers, X-Men, etc.) and it will be visited soon in the roleplay.
Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry: This is a school for young wizards and witches that is located somewhere in Britain. It can be only found in the Movie Universe because it is from some films-the Harry Potter films, to be exact. While in one or two of the early missions the team went to Hogwarts just for fun, most of the time Hogwarts is used as a hiding place when Andy-related things get too serious to handle. Among all the shelters and hiding places the team visits during emergencies, Hogwarts is probably the safest, but Andy and the Baddies have managed to tracked them down and attack them during their visits anyway.
The Arenas: Throughout the earliest missions, Andy has captured the team and put them into his own personal Hunger Games (which is basically a fight to the death between various "tributes"/contestants) twice, probably for his own amusement. During the first time the team was sent into the HG, the arena was an unnamed forest probably located near the Warehouse. During the second time, the team was put onto a little island built by Andy and his followers. Ever since those first two Hunger Games, Andy hasn't put the team into another arena.
Magneto's Lair: Magneto, leader of the Brotherhood of Mutants (see "The Groups" page for info about that group), has a lair; it is mainly made up of underground caves and tunnels near NYC that Magneto and his followers dwell in. This place will appear in the roleplay soon.
Middle Earth: Middle Earth is a world from The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings series. It is filled with various sections; the wise elves live in one section, the peaceful Hobbits live in another, the witty dwarves dwell in another section, the evil Orcs belong in yet another part of the realm, and, of course, there are wizards and many other magical creatures, too. Though the team has never visited the major parts of Middle Earth as of yet, they have gone to Andy's castle, which is located in a part of Middle Earth that crosses over into the normal world.
The Moors and the Neighboring Human Kingdom: The Moors are a magical realm that belongs to the fairies in the movie Maleficent. Neighboring this realm is a normal medieval kingdom populated by humans. These places have been visited by the team in two missions (Mission #35:Rescue and Mission #47:The Curse); in both cases, they were visited when Aurora was put under a curse where she was in a state of "sleeping death" and had to be saved by her friends. Though the team was on a serious and somewhat dark mission during both of their visits, they are rather fond of the place anyway.
The Midwest: The team has visited the Midwest before in order to tour the prairies. However, during their trip, a tornado formed and the team was battered by it. They haven't visited the Midwest ever since. |
