Alright! Here is the long-awaited reincarnation of the supers battle from the deceased UG. I believe what has recently transpired is Jack, Lydia, and other NG supers have just recovered Andrei and fled the NWM headquarters, and elsewhere Rachel, Valerya and others are at Aaron's apartment, discussing how to deal with Mr. Blackwood who is aparently a terrorist. Let's see if we can pick this thing back up, people!

((Huzzah! 'Tis back!)) ((Do you want to pick up with Jack, Lydia, Andrei and co. when they get back to the meeting place?)) Rachel sighed. This evening had been just . . . too crazy. "I guess there's not much else we can do right now. We'll just have to wait and see what happens." ~~~~ ((NOTE: Facility plot begins here: heedtheprophecies.proboards.com/post/23470/thread ))

((First question, should we re-post our character forms? And second question, any ideas on where to go with this scene?))

((I'm fine with reposting character forms. As to where to go with this scene, we could probably just end it and skip to later, as far as I'm concerned.))

((Okay. Thankfully I had all my character's forms saved so I'll go ahead and post them.)) ((Yeah, I'm thinking it might be better to end the scene, and possibly have everyone against Mr. Blackwood get together and discuss what they want to do.)) ((Name: Ryley Blackwood Age: 20 Appearance: He’s a little on the short side, and strives to be as neat and clean as possible. Is not very fit or muscular. He has neatly cut dark brown hair, dark brown eyes, and likes to wear plain black suites most of the time. Personality: Controlling, OCD, and a little mental. Weapons: A staff made of indestructible metal. Powers: He doesn’t really have any powers other than he’s very intelligent and fairly good at hacking. Backstory: His father died when he was a baby, and his mother worked very hard to support them. He’s an only child, and had a fairly normal childhood, even though he was much more advanced in school than other people his age. When he was twelve he was sitting at his mom’s work place waiting for her to finish up when someone came in with a gun and started shooting. His mom was killed in the shooting, and he was devastated. This led to him wanting revenge, not on the shooter, but on the police who should have been there to help. Other: He has always believed the world would function better under a dictator, not him though. Hero or Villain: Villain. Name: Aaron Reed Age: 16 Appearance: Has light blue eyes, and blond hair with long bangs that are swept to the side. He usually has on a red leather jacket, a black shirt, and black jeans. Also has many different pairs of brightly colored high tops. Always wears a guitar pick necklace, with a smoky swirl design of two different shades of red. Personality: He has two different personalities. One side of him is very conceded and is a huge show off. He thinks he is the most amazing person in the world and often wonders why people aren’t worshiping him. His second one is very thoughtful, caring, and peaceful. Weapons: Anything he can get his hands on. Powers: Listening to a certain music within a certain time frame boosts the probability that he will be able to succeed at whatever task he is trying to accomplish. Backstory: He is the oldest of two siblings, a brother and a sister. He doesn’t spend time with his family much, but other than that, he’s had a pretty normal life. Other: Can play various types of instruments, as well as sing. Different types of music can cause him to shift between his personalities. Hero or Villain: He usually leans toward hero. Name: Rina Hunter Age: 16 Appearance: Has long dark brown hair with streaks of green highlights, usually kept in a braid and pulled over her right shoulder. Wears mostly green clothes, but her favorite outfit is dark green jean with whatever long sleeve shirt that will match. Personality: She’s a bit dorky, and is very loud and outspoken when around people she is extremely comfortable with. But if she is around new people, or people she doesn’t know very well, she tends to be quiet. In a group of people she doesn’t really know, she often separates herself form the group. She also has a temper, but in certain circumstances won’t show it. Weapons: Has a set of concealed daggers that she trained herself to use with stunning accuracy. Powers: Can camouflage with her surroundings. Although her powers can backfire on her when she is nervous, embarrassed, angry, or any other extreme emotion, and in those situations she has the tendency to change her skin into color to something very obvious. Backstory: Has lived a fairly normal life, other than the fact that she has rarely left her house. Being an only child, her parents often pushed her into things outside her comfort zone, things that she wasn't particularly good at, or never wanted to be involved with in the first place. That often led to her getting into arguments and fights. Other: Is not really a people person, and depending on her mood finds most people irritating. How she reacts to people she finds irritating also depends on her mood. Hero or Villain: Hero.))

((@katrina: That sounds good.)) ((I'll go ahead and repost my forms as well, then. I should probably make forms for Caleb and Jenna too . . .)) ((Name: Lydia Nyte Age: 20 Occupation: Agent for the New Generation Appearance: Lydia has chin-length blond hair and very bright green eyes. She's about average height and very athletic. Her typical attire consists of jeans, a dark-colored t-shirt, and sometimes a dark blue sweatshirt jacket when it's cooler out. Personality: Lydia is generally optimistic and refuses to let anything get her down. She's equally comfortable in a crowd or by herself, though if working with others, she tends to be a bit bossy. She's also quite determined/stubborn; when she sets her mind on something, you can be sure that she'll do whatever it takes to accomplish it. Though she'll forgive injuries done to herself easily, she doesn't forget it if you do something to a friend or someone else she's protecting. Weapons: A fairly good shot with her two pistols. Knows karate and Aikido. Powers: Energy/light manipulation powers. This manifests as: blowing things up, energy blasts, energy/light shields, and random stuff with light. Weaknesses: Requires light to be able to manipulate it; lack of light also lessens her energy powers (as she has to get the energy from somewhere and light is one of those sources). Has to touch something to blow it up; larger things take more energy. Backstory: Lydia spent the first fifteen years of her life thinking she was perfectly normal. However, a few days after her fifteenth birthday, she learned otherwise. Her parents were in the pay of an organization dedicated to raising and training the next generation of superheros, and she and her brother had both been selected before birth for training. Lydia spent the next five years at the organization's training center, learning to fight and use her powers, which she hadn't even known she had. She recently 'graduated' from the program, just in time to be part of the Arbiter mission. Other: Sister of Derrick Nyte.
Name: Derrick Nyte Age: 23 Occupation: Super for hire Appearance: Derrick has dark, close-cropped hair, the same bright green eyes as his sister, and an almost permanent smirk. He's a bit taller than average. Personality: Derrick is surprisingly friendly considering his choice of career. However, that can change in the space of an instant. He generally prefers to do things his own way, though he can work with others if necessary. He has a bit of a short temper and never forgets an insult or injury. Weapons: Excellent shot with just about any firearm. Knows martial arts. Powers: Shadow manipulation, illusions, and a limited form of mind control. Weaknesses: Has to have shadows to manipulate them, so this power is at its weakest in bright light. Illusions have no substance and can be exposed with smoke or by something going through them. The mind control requires him to talk to the person face-to-face, and it'll wear off within an hour (the exact amount of time depends who he's talking to). Backstory: See Lydia Nyte. Unlike Lydia, as he underwent training, he became less and less inclined to actually go through with being a hero, and more and more inclined to sympathize with the villains he was being trained to fight. After his first mission, he disappeared, by his own plan, and went into hiding for a few months. After this, he began his career as a mercenary of sorts, selling his skills to the highest bidder. Other: Brother of Lydia Nyte.
Name: Rachel Saol Age: 20 Occupation: Agent for the New Generation Appearance: Rachel has dark, wavy hair that comes down to her shoulders. For everyday, she'll leave it hanging down, but she'll ponytail it if she's working/on a mission/in a danger situation. She's a little shorter than average, but not much. She has hazel eyes and milk-and-coffee-colored skin. Personality: Rachel is very caring and also very loyal. She'll do quite a bit for a stranger who needs help, whether or not it's the super-powered type of help or just a hand with their groceries. And if you're her friend and you're in trouble, she'll just do just about anything for you. Her desire to help can sometimes overrule her good sense and lead her into trouble. She tends to be quieter and let others take the lead, unless she's focused on healing and needs someone to do something. Weapons: Can use most firearms fairly well, but prefers a pistol. Knows karate and aikido. Powers: Healing and mindreading. Weaknesses: Healing takes energy; the greater the wound the harder it is to heal. Healing power doesn't work for other people's illnesses, though it does keep her personally from getting sick. Mindreading is limited by how close the other person is. Backstory: Rachel, like Lydia and Derrick, was a New Generation hero-trainee. She and Lydia met their first year of training and have been best friends ever since.))

(So...)
Andrei stepped out of the car and took in his surroundings with a silent glance. He made the guess that they were not at, but somewhere near, the NG headquarters. Jack stepped out the other side.

The other NG supers climbed out as well. Mikayla took the lead, headed towards a nonedescript building on the corner. "Debriefing, all of you. Come on."

Post by NightBlade on Apr 30, 2015 23:18:27 GMT
Jack and Andrei came on.

Post by Leilani Sunblade on May 1, 2015 1:35:28 GMT
Security cameras in every possible spectrum watched the group as Mikayla led them through the main doors, into what looked very much like the atrium of a generic office building. Off to one side, a man sat behind a desk that hid a bank of computer screens- one for controlling the weaponry hidden in walls and plant pots, one for monitoring some of the security cameras, one for actual work, and then another identical set further down. He and Mikayla exchanged a nod as the group passed on its way to the elevators towards the back of the atrium. At the elevators, Mikayla spoke in a quiet, but clear voice. "Alpha Team, reporting for debriefing."
A panel slid aside in the wall, revealing a retina scan device, and an electronic, vaguely female voice spoke: "Identification required." Mikayla leaned in so the scanner could do its work. The voice spoke again. "Agent identified. Proceed." The elevator doors slid open, allowing the group to step inside. Once they were all within, the doors shut and the elevator began to descend. As it did, more cameras watched from above, and heat sensors in the walls searched for any unexpected weapons.
The doors opened again onto black hallways extending forwards, left, and right. Mikayla stepped briskly out. "Lydia, Jack, and Andrei, with me to debriefing. You two-" She pointed at the remaining two agents, the other set of brothers. "Medical wing."
One of them hesitated. "You're hurt worse than us-"
"I'm in charge of the mission. Go." Mikayla's tone left no room for argument- nor did the fact that she turned to the right and set off at a surprisingly fast pace.

Andrei followed with blank face forward, while Jack trotted along behind and peered about his surroundings.

They continued down the stark black hallway until Mikayla stopped in front of an equally dark door- one of many identical doors along the hallway. She knocked twice and then opened the door without waiting for an answer.
As the team entered, a fit-looking man in a dark grey suit stood up. "Alpha Team. All present?"
"The Eren brothers are in the medical wing. Otherwise, yes." She nodded towards Andrei. "As is (last name that I can't remember)."
"Good." The man gestured towards the chairs. "Sit. Report. You first, Agent Mikayla. Then you." He nodded to Andrei. "Then if the rest of you have anything to add, do so."
Mikayla and Lydia both sat. Mikayla explained quickly but thoroughly their mission: how they'd arrived, attacked and been attacked, the nature of the supers they'd faced, and how Andrei had appeared and they'd escaped. The man listened, jotting down notes. When Mikayla finished, he turned to Andrei. "Now you. Start from when you were captured."

[What's the story line for this thread? I'm interested in joining; I have a superhero who won't quit acting like a stereotypical cartoon villain (ie, falls into obvious traps, doesn't know how to quip, etc.). Maybe something here could...liven him up a little? ]

((@merenwen: We have two plots. One largely concerns two organizations: the New Generation (a so-far secret organization which "created" and raised a great many young supers, thinking the established ones were too difficult to control) and the New World Militia (an also-secret organization looking to . . . I don't remember what their goal is anymore.) The other is headed by Katrina and concerns a man who's trying to gather a bunch of people with superpowers to serve him for some purpose- we're thinking to take over the world. His method of doing this so far has been: invite a bunch of young supers to a party and offer them an ultimatum: help him, or he'll blow up the building. Needless to say, most of the supers said they'd join him . . . even if they might actually just be planning to sabotage him. If you wanted to put your character there, you probably could do so fairly easily.))

[Swe-ee-eet. *rubs hands together* Okay, Jago, I ran everyone else through the gauntlet in April, now it's your turn. ] [Are the supers in costume, or not? I'm assuming they are...oh, and my guy doesn't have actual powers; he's got a super-suit and gadgets. Would he have been included in the invites??]

Post by Leilani Sunblade on May 2, 2015 23:58:29 GMT
((Most of the supers are not because they aren't official superheroes, just people with superpowers (some of whom don't know they have said powers). However, if your character is a recognized superhero, I think it seems reasonable that he might've been invited. You could check with Katrina to be sure.))

Adrei leaned back on his heels, arms crossed stoically as usual, and collected his thoughts for a few brief seconds before answering in his clipped, tracely-accented voice. "Over an hour I sat in the interrogation room. No one else. One man came to interrogate, Blackout. It was then I escaped. Briefly encountered my father Sergei, then I left the base."
(Sorry this should have sent half an hour ago)

Post by Leilani Sunblade on May 7, 2015 0:40:38 GMT
The man nodded. "Was the base one you'd recognized from when you worked with them? Could you give an estimate of how many people would be there?"
|
|
|
Post by NightBlade on May 7, 2015 1:08:23 GMT
Andrei nodded. "It was an auxilliary base. Apparently now their main one. I encountered three. I do not believe there are many...but they are strong."

Post by Leilani Sunblade on May 7, 2015 1:12:00 GMT
The man made a note on his paper. "The three being the three Agent Mikayla mentioned? Or another three? How many supers are likely to be there?"
|
|

Post by NightBlade on May 7, 2015 1:23:50 GMT
"Blackout. My father. And another I do not know. I do not know how many there would be." He repeated.

Post by Leilani Sunblade on May 7, 2015 1:27:05 GMT
"Hmm." The man made a final note and set down his paper. "Thank you." He turned to Lydia and Jack. "Do either of you have anything to add?"
Lydia shook her head. "No, sir."

((Yeah . . .))
"Very well." The man slid the paper he'd been making notes on into a black folder. "You are dismissed."
"Thank you, sir." Mikayla stood and opened the door, holding it for the others.
