Before I can figure out who, I have to know what would have happened to her had she just shown up at ACME like she had. Chase?
Depends on how she's found -- if she just wandered into ACME HQ, she'll probably be handed over to government services because legally, it's not ACME's jurisdiction to take care of minors.

If she's found by an agent and then said agent recognized her markings as having Bratvia ties, then maybe she'd be a different case.

So if Neb had randomly shown up at ACME, she would have been screwed. ;-) Yeay for VILE! Actually I think that was part of the point of VILE being the best place for her to have landed, because they'd be the least inclined to contact authorities.

But lets move to if an agent found her, then. What happens then?

No, Neb, I am not answering your AMA for you.
In that case, I can't honestly say. VILE is pretty straight forward in that if Carmen lets you stay, then you're part of VILE, like everyone else in VILE. It doesn't sound that Neb showing up at ACME, or even being found by ACME, would make her part of ACME, or would even grant her the opportunity to become ACME. I have to conclude then that her showing up at ACME ultimately would have had little impact on who she became, other than being another turn in the road.

The next thing down the line would be Neb purposely showing up to join ACME as an adult, which would mean she was far more with it than she was in the original scenario. Not really the same person at that point, but lets go ahead.

How she turned out would first rely heavily on how her background is treated. If say, only Chase knew or ACME higher-ups and they decided to help her figure out her situation while keeping her safe early on, Neb would probably be much more stable than she is now. If it followed a similar path to how it went in VILE, with her situation remaining largely left on herself while ACME acted as a passive sanctuary, she'd be less stable.

Next would be events. At ACME she wouldn't have had to endure ALS or Flag, and the highly structured nature of ACME may have kept her from drifting too much. Unless it didn't. I'm not ACME, so I can only guess. That said, her time with Flag wasn't all bad, and she'd still have to deal with Seraphim.

If we look at the "more law abiding or less" she'd be more abiding, until/unless it came to a point where something she needed couldn't be obtained legally. There's a good chance she'd chafe at ACME's black/white stance on things, and VILE would never really be the enemy to her, but loyalty to her current protectors would keep her from switching sides. That said, the tower heist could change her feelings on VILE, depending on what she's told.

Who she connected with at ACME would also play a part, as well as if anyone ever learns about her...talent. I can see Neb telling Chase if they got close, but first they'd have to get close. If they did form a relationship (not a romantic one), Neb would be sturdier now. Maybe. I don't know how well she'd bond with other ACMEs because she'd probably be just as flighty as she is with other VILEs. How her existence/situation is handled would definitely affect that as well.

Overall, she'd probably stronger in some areas, but weaker in others, based on the different dynamics of the two groups. ACME's structure and outward legitimacy would help in some ways, but VILE's organic-ness and anonymity helps her in other ways. After that, it's events and personal relationships that would determine what she becomes.

In Ultramarine, like, right now, Neb is just discovering that she doesn't actually know Carmen as a person. What would be the first thing Neb does to get to know Carmen? It doesn't even need to fit into the RPs, I just want to know what Neb would ideally do.
Well, ideally it will fit into the RP, because that's what she wants to do. Ideally how she'd go about doing that (based on where we are now, like, if we were just suddenly teleported home) Neb would first give Carmen some space, because damn. But she'd be there on the fringe, because Carmen might need stuff. While doing that, Neb would probably think a lot about everything she knows about Carmen. She might write in a journal (I might write a journal!) similar to how she did with Flag.

That would probably bring up some questions. Some she'd ask Vic, like how she was on the MAMBA, but some she'd save for Carmen. She'd probably watch her some more, until she feels like maybe Carmen wouldn't mind some small talk, and go from there. They could take some walks or gets some food, or Neb would help her with shadow stuff. Maybe steal a landmark or two.

While it does seem kinda like what Neb does already, before this, Neb was in the mindset of looking to Carmen for safety. Now that she's taking that on herself, she can look to Carmen as another person, like she'll be able to do for pretty much everyone else.

what is Neb's favorite color?
Neb is fairly random with the colours she likes. I'd say deep, rich blues, but sometimes she'll go after florescent yellow/orange/pinks, and sometimes she'll go for dusty mauves and sages.

If Neb could live one day in her life all over again, which day would it be?
Leave it to Nevon to bring the heat.

This is going to be a complicated answer.

First, this is tricky because Neb has essentially redone eight years of her life over, altering many problem dates in the process. That would leave events pre-Flag and post-Cadence in the ring. From that, assuming she can bring her current knowledge into the past with her, she'd redo the day she was made Carmen's shadow so she could preempt pretty much everything in Ultramarine and be a better shadow from the get-go.

That said, while Neb did change her personal timeline, she didn't realize what had happened until after Seraphim. A lot of guilt came from missing her cues from her first life, so it's also possible that she would go back to when she should have first met Carmen and be the competent cohort she was supposed to be.

    ((OOC: So, I am still here (at least, while ACP is still a thing, then I have to tether my phone to my laptop, send it's internet to Ethernet to my router and setup my other laptop to access that... I managed it once totally by accident)... updating stuff I'm working on is not a fun process (if anyone checks my stories folder on my Google Drive) anymore... the laptop at my desk is old (Core 2 Duo, 2Ghz, 4 gigs RAM, Win7 Ultimate)... Chrome won't update, Drive won't work... I'm stuck using FreeFileSync to keep stuff up to datep things synced. I have plans of getting a job and having money to have something better (a doorstop is better)

    [continuing] I'm sorry if any of my posts are/could be inflammatory or anything... some of them are stuff I've had in the pipeline for a while, and I messed with it enough to get it postable... that's why there are dates showing when I started working on stuff... I'm not, and never have been, trying to step on anyone's toes or say "this is how it should be"... I have no say here, not sure who does these days (like I posted... maybe this is a test to see if we devolve into chaos). Posts like Hierarchy were started long ago, and meant as a guideline and not because I'm the voice of Sauron.

    [continuing] I don't have the time to be here a whole lot, I don't have much beyond mom to help with my rent (and once I have a job, that'll take up more time, though I will keep working on stuff (both for here and not) as often as possible, and post when possible on here. I have a question that needs some clarification... being that we are supposed to get permission from the person if we use their character in an addition/story/post, how would that apply if the character is core to the universe (like Carmen... I can replace @Chase, maybe cobble someone into @Ivy's place... but, like @Carmen, being that she's a major character, as long as I don't have her acting or write a major part for her, would that circumvent the rule at all?

    [continuing] I'm just curious... the absence of the major's leaves a gap that I'm not sure what to do with anything... we (the Left Behind) could do a story together (or some stories separate), and that'd be cool, but without being able to use any major's, I'm not sure where to take anything. And, yeah... you can probably guess what my typing is like here (or anyplace else)... I type here or in Word, I type something (or notepad), and 15-20+ seconds later it shows up, so I have to stay on top of my grammar and spelling. I have to keep on top of all that, because I'm working on the big Carmen story at the same time, so I can't slip off my game.))

    @Jon Eckart Not exactly sure if I understand all your computer probs. I hope you get those resolved soon. Yes, I have many probs with my basic Google Chrome, too. I think it's fair to say we all have a love/hate relationship with technology. 😆 As far as your stories are concerned, you can use any cannon character you like, whether there is a person playing that role on here or not. Say the story is a fanfiction; and that the version of Chase, or Carmen (or whoever) from the computer games, gameshow (or whatever). We don't do Netflix Carmen, mostly because of the violence. And because it is fanfiction, you can also create other characters and situations to suit your story. Now, Chase, Carme, Ivy (or whoever) were here, of course, you would ask their permission; tell them your idea; and if they like it they might write it with you. 🙂

    @Jon Eckart Now, if you for a friendship with someone on--and off-site, you might form a partnership with them, and write stories together (like Chase and Carmen; or Chase and Ivy; or Lucy and I) and then you will just put a statement saying that this story is a co-write with whoever. In fact, if you collaborate with this person a lot, people will just assume they have your permission; although you should always say it anyway, just as a common courtesy. In fact, ironically, the only people whose permission you must always ask to use their characters are "original" characters, who are creations of their individual writers (which most of us on here, are) specifically because we are not cannon. I hope that makes sense. 🙂

    @Jon Eckart Now, if you want to write something, but don't have a lot of time, I would suggest posting a status; or replying to someone else's status. Or you could start a guessing game. Look under Forums/Guessing Games, and look at some things other people have done, to give you ideas. I hope that helps. 🙂
