Acenra

((I wouldn't mind. anybody or anything can join (as long, of course, they have the ability to physically play an instrument)))

((nothin' much. I've put down all the info needed. all you guys need to do is to think of how you start off your characters. and maybe to wait for some other people to come along and the such. but apart from that, we're pretty much sorted))

((I should have put in more detail to my last post Acenra is the singer and rhythm guitarist in the band. However, his power in music allows his talent to extend to the other instruments, so if asked to, he will be happy to play anything else. as said in the last one, you can RP with other stuff. but this will be an independant post. you can keep your storyline but it can't have any link to the other open RP posts unless it is discussed .

so for the instruments I need a drummer, a bass, a keyboard and a lead guitarist (experience doesn't matter much, Acenra can always teach them if they are a bit misty on skill)

also, for the character bit. you can make up to two side chars (ie, a friend who doesn't appear much in your part of the story, like Acenra's brother or something)

we're gonna take things slow, just so others can keep up with the story line ))

((Hello! I've talked it over with Necro, and it's been allowed. I have planned this out and decided to lay down the rules here and before I start, make sure who's in and the like.

first off, the plot. My main char Acenra (this was one of the major things. we are allowed to use any char as long as it holds absolutley no link to Superhero 101. this is kind of set in an alternate reality) has just recently arrived in Paragon. he is a music legend where he came from and wants to restart his old rock band with some other people in the city.

the chars:-

1. Johnny the Dragon Fire: this guy is another hero around the same nieghbor hood as Acenra. he plans to make a rival band and has been known to have a fiery temper as he used to be a high ranking flame thrower in the Hellions. he is now an over confident hero.

2. Vierosinactaricta the cruel (AKA Shadow): Acenra's nemesis. this is the creator of the netherworld(so magic users will have more knowledge on him than, say, a mutant or a science). however, his methods are somewhat merciful as he doesn't like to kill the victim. if he sets them as a target, he'll make their life a living hell before devouring their soul. this process usually takes a month or so, depending on how well your conection with Acenra is.

3. you: You can be a hero, a citizen, a cop, a homeless guy. anything. just be yourself. you can be a musical expert or a beginer. it doesn't really matter.

the rules:-

1. no godmodding. this is a common rule. godmodding means you are impervious 24/7. and as you can guess, it can get on everyone's nerves if you do that all the time. you have to take some damage, and you have to lose sometimes

2. no taking control of the other characters. unless you have MSN or something so you can write with the other posters, please, no taking control of everyone else. you have control over the main chars and your chars, you just need permision from the other posters about theirs.

3. have fun! just remmeber to relax. this is roleplay. dont feel bored or anything, or confined by the rules set. have fun. be what you want to be.

so, before I start this thing, I need to know who's in. post with your Qs, complaints, details blah, blah, blah...))

I had a go at being an artist myself, se here's my attempt at a drawing of Acenra, my main character on defiant

Linky

feel free to flame at my expence

Adam thought a good stroll through a small area in steel canyon would be ok. So, donning his street clothes, he made his way there.

As he walked the busy streets, gaining strange looks from passers by, Adam thought that if he cant train people, he might as well have a go at entertaining them. So, finding a stable box to stand on, e summoned a fiddle and started to play. Slowly but surley, people stopped to listen before heading off to work again, some put some money on the box he was standing on and a few children sat to listen to Adam do what he does best.

I wonder how Pious and that are doing back at school. I expect they would do alot beter without me endangering their lives...

seeing as I may be joining the roleplay community on union, I might aswell give the stats on Acenra
------------------------------------------------------------
Given Name(s): Adam Julius Hastoria or Azuresol Jucréte Hastoria

Hero Name: Acenra

Gender: Male

Age: 16

Race: Airvertian/White British

Powers: Flight, Fitness, Sacred Light (depending on mood and distribution, it can display itself in many ways, for example, white fire or red lightning)

Personality: Dark, mysterious, wise (sometimes) and sarcastic. However can be friendly at most times.

Physical Description: 5'11", blonde, shoulder length hair. Elvish ears. Red sclera and blue pupils for his eyes, but these are usually hidden behind a mask or pair of shades. Tanned skin. If seen comming from Terortheus (an ancient and forgotten realm) he has large, golden wings. But this has been dismissed as a myth as only one person has seen him like this. His build is average for his age. He is rarley seen in costume but his normal clothes are a black jacket, red shirt and stonewash jeans.

History/Backstory: Adam's life is nothing short of a kick in the teeth.

At the age of nine, his family were slaughtered, leaving him to spend three years alone in British woodland while his brother, who was a year older, ran for it. Adam hadn't developed his powers yet, so it was harder than you would think.

Three years later, Adam was exiled from England because 'Shadow', the same thing that massacred his family, destroyed his home town. Adam developed his powers then when trying to defend many people from the demon.

Adam then spent four years under the name 'Acenra' fighting crime with four other heroes in the island city of Legend City, just off the California shore.

During late august, Adam came back from his training on Trial Mountain. He had learnt that Shadow's real name was Vierosinactericta the cruel, a demon who had his hand in the creation of the Netherworld. Adam called him Shadow as his real name was unpronouceble and poison to his ears. He also learnt that his destiny was to fight Shadow for the fate of the magical balance which determines most things in life.

Early september, Shadow destroyed Legend City and made Adam chase him across America, playing on his hatred and vengence. Everytime Adam stops, Shadow returns claiming to be bored then beating Adam an inch from death.

During his time in Legend City, Adam has become one with music, being the singer and rhythm guitarist in a small time rock band called the Heroes of Music. This is no longer a reality as the other members of the band are now buried under three feet of rubble.

are you a cartoonist? these pics rock, I salute you

due to the back story with Lord Recluse and Ghost Widow's... affairs in earlier life, this raises rather disturbing images

Adam almost started to cry. So many people have said that, and all of them have died trying

"unfortunatley, due to past experiences, I wish for you to stay away from the battle ground. I have seen many valiant people fail in their attempts to assist me, and that has made it worse"

Adam walked towards the door. he realised what made Tyler weak against the Circle.

"You are a good friend. But if you want to know how to fight demons like Ty'lak and Shadow, you have to fight your fears. Face them. I learnt to face my fears when I was thrown into the Netherworld. Conquering fear is like riding a roller coaster. You dont want to go on it at first, but when you do, you have a feeling that you want to go again. the more you do it, the more you become immune. before you know it. you have no fear. try it. Before you die, you will have to face the Circle again, at least once. the earlier the better. I need to get some more food, you're welcome to come and visit any time. good bye" with the click of his fingers, a fishing rod appeared. he then flew out the door and toward the shore ((Hey! I rhymed! ))

loved it. I tried doing an adaptation of here's to you by rascal flats as a tribute to my school for leavers day. complete failure. I might do it for when I eventually leave CoX. but that's not for ages

good job, I would love to hear another or a music video of this one. it's pretty good

Adam sighed, he had been through this mistake millions of times

"Shadow isn't an Airvertian. Be lucky that you arent in Terortheus and within earshot of an Airvertian, you'd be jailed for blasfamy, then executed" Adam was more stable and had to refrain himself from attacking Tyler because of this "Shadow, as I said before, is the creator of the Netherworld, making him a God in his own way. in the great battle of the elements, my ancestor Shaventos defeated Shadow, but it wasn't permanent. Shadow mannaged to seal all of the Terortheun gods in my sword and shield. within the next two weeks, I must do what a god couldn't. This event will kill me in return for the saftey of the universe" he paused for a second "Shadow posses every ability imaginable apart from Sacred Light. Ty'lak would most probably be trapped in the Netherworld until the great battle where he will be released to help cause havoc on the world. I'm afraid thats all I know"

"Tyler" Adam said, rather plainly. he stood to put away his plate when he heard voices outside "excuse me a minute" he dived out the window behind him.

"there he is!"

"I told you to LEAVE ME ALONE!" there were crashes, bangs and thumps for a few seconds before...

"Retreat!" Adam then casualy walked around the building and back to the front door

"I do apologise, that happens every five minutes here" he walked past Tyler

"I suppose you want to know about Airvertian history? well, mystic law says I can't take you to Terrortheus. However, I can tell you the history of them. I will allow you to interview me. but this doesn't change things between us"

Adam sat, waiting for a question

"I hunger for human flesh!" stated the inhuman stalker after it revealed itself

"well, I'm sorry to disappoint you" Adam picked the wolfman up by the scruff of the neck "I'm not entirley human" he then did a crane kick, slamming it into the wall behind it and knocking it out cold

"I could really do with something to eat" Adam walked inside the have some food before taking a stroll down a statley street

((I'm working on a video guide for new players. it's going well, it shouldn't last longer than ten minutes. all I need is the privacy to work on the narration and I'll be done ))

"Tyler, Adam is living in Siren's Call fighting of Arachnos just so he can live in peace. I think he is too busy to make any mistakes that will effect anyone near here. and he dies in two weeks so whatever mistakes he makes will stop by then, and I dont think this demon you speak of has permision from Shadow to leave the Netherworld. the only thing that can open a portal between both dimensions is the creator to dont sweat about that" he turned to the door

"Those videos are filled with falsehood, Tyler, if you want information about the Airvertians, talk to me or Adam, however, speaking with someone like you, who thinks he's something he's not, don't expect to get anything from me" in a flash of light, he disappeared from the room

------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, in Siren's Call. Adam was doing a bit of Tai-chi after his meal which composed mainly of fish. he was at peace until he sensed something. He did a dragon tail kick to trip whatever was behind him. he then pressed his foot on what would be the neck

"State your buisiness then leave me alone!"

"Calm down Tyler!" John yelled "Just calm down. Don't go haywire here, I don't want to use my bow" he offered Tyler a chair while he went to grab one for himself

"let me tell you a story. Seven or eight years ago, when I was ten and adam was nine, something... happened. now, my family is nothing but superheroes. my father was The Sonic Comet. but that was besides the point. the only person in our family at that time withoiut their powers yet was Adam, which was strange because the rest of us got ours strait from birth. anyway. on this day, we were celebrating my parents aniversary, Shadow decided to pay a visit. he massacred my entire family except for me and Adam. he left us. three days after the massacre, I noticed that Shadow would come for me to get to Adam. I left him in the woods by himself. At the time I thought I did the right thing. but now I regret my decision. he survived three years in British woodland, which is impressive for his age if you ask me. however, when he was twelve, Shadow awakened a dark magic inside Adam. it unleashed his power and he managed to destroy his home town. This resulted in Adam being exiled from England and sent to America. He spent four years as a superhero in Legend City. However, when he was forteen, a villain made him relive the massacre of our family again. two years later, about a week ago, Shadow came back and destroyed Legend City. Adam has been wanting to destroy Shadow ever since he was nine" he stopped to take a sip of water "he has this battle with Shadow within the next two weeks. he is trying his hardest to prevent anything from happening, but it's difficult when you've got the fate of the universe in your hands. He's got the entire world against him yet he's willing to sacrifice his life for it. He has revived you and healed Sophie, and almost lost all of his magic trying to do so. he needs support not people like you wanting to have him exiled from this country too"

"I try tomake a new home and you bugs keep getting on my nerves!" Adam slammed the final Arachnobot into a wall "leave! Now!" the Arachnos goons did as they were told as our mistunderstood elven hero stood in a threatening manner. He hated being bothered when he was in a sour mood, especially when he had decided to live in a potential war zone to save his friends from himself.

he had no other option. he theoretically had two weeks left to live, whether he wins or not. So he might aswell keep friends rather than make new enemies. he didn't want an army of people dancing on his grave.

"I thought I told you last year to leave me alone!" Adam yelled, not even turnning round

"really? I never pay attention to small detail" said a rather metallic voice from behind

"I don't care how many more legs you have! I don't care whether you have become the new leader of the world! Just go away!" Adam ordered. It was Rapidfire. he had undergone a change. his pair of human legs were replaced by six metallic spiderlegs and from his torso were four more. the ones from his torso each had a mounted Laser and a tripple blade on the tip

"Well, Fine then, but beware. if you survive your fated battle the Meta-Arachnos will have your head" Rapidfire warned

"I see you have your own group. impressive. however, I'm not in the mood to talk. go away" Adam spoke with silent anger. Rpidfire left in a single bound.

------------------------------------------------------------

John stepped into the hospital room where Sophie was kept and tried to talk to Tyler

"I expect you have a pretty mean death wish on my brother" John's mouth movements were invisible behind the shadow of his hood. only his eyes were visible

"I want you to talk it out with me. I mean, if anyone can calm Adam down, it's me. And I trained with people Like Manticore, I can be trusted" behind the shadow of his hood, he gave a small grin

------------------------------------------------------------

"Miss Jones, I'm just making sure of this but, are there any books on the Airvertians which are not in Airvertian?"

"Ms. Hastoresse, I have checked hundreds of times, I even checked with MAGI, there are no books in this city that are in English or otherwise"

"ok, thankyou" pretending to look dejected, Alice left the school library. when she got outside, she summoned a lightning bolt which carried her and her reassured grin to a distant place.

((the test server event is great. I got beaten by ALL of the Arachnos patrons and my elec brute was taken out by Statesman himself. so pretty cool ))

heh, I remmember when that happened to me once. I was playing a different game and I noticed a player called 'Acenra2' I found it very funny that there was another person out there with the same desire for a name

it may be annoying when they have that sort of thing. in fact, it seems a bit creepy, but just be glad someone out there apreciates your ideas like we all do, but enough to be a hardcore fan. I'd long for that kind of thing when I publish my book

"don't worry, she'll be" he was cut off when flashes of a familiar culture flashed through his mind "She's family"

"Huh?" Alice asked

"She is a decendant of Vaytol. She's my... cousin if you will" Adam explained "I think I'll go live in Siren's call after this. it's a good place to go after what I did"

((it gets worse. after two years in sixthform, I have another prom, and after that, I go to university and say goodbye to the rest of my friends, with only a one in a billion chance of seeing any of them again. and I do have to confess, a girl I really had a crush on is one of those off to college, and I never asked her out. I'm such an idiot *sob*))

"... What?" Adam asked. before taking off and rocketing to the door, down the stairs and into the corridor. He saw Sophie lying on the floor. he used the same spell he used on Tyler, knowing that it wouldn't have to same effect, as he also combined it with a purification spell. He started to sense conciousness building in Sophie and he continued his work.

((I just woke up this morning. I was at my school prom so I'm pretty shatter. and a little depressed as I wont be seeing half my of friends aymore ))

"You haven't learnt a thing" Adam said with a grin on his face. it wasn't an evil grin, it was a cheerful grin

"You can't just walk up to somebody with a pair of handcuffs. it's too obvious!" He stood then presented a medalion in his hand

"Here's your next lesson on agility and critical thinking. if you can get those handcuffs on my wrist and get this medalion you have passd the test. Ready? Go"

"I wish to apologise for my actions. I would say next time I'll be more careful, but I don't think I'm worthy to teach anymore. what I did was unforgivable, like many events in my life. However, I would like to be alone. I need to re think my mistake and calm myself down a bit" he walked away and sat on the west side of the roof, meditating.

Alice stared on. in her experience as an ex-supervillain. she has learnt many things

for example, in he latest battle against Adam, which was last year, she learnt this valuble lesson;

Never get Adam angry

It was what made Adam different, what made him so precise with his work and it was what made him have so many mistakes all the time. Keeping that left over rage since he was nine was getting him so confused and making him bad at decisions.

------------------------------------------------------------

Adam stood right on the edge of the building, as if to jump off. his eyes closed, his breath tainted with the words of redemtion. he was getting information from correspondants from Terortheus. They were saying that Ty'lak's new body was not allowed to make new portals from the Netherworld. Shadow even turned up to tell them that. for the creator of most of the world's evil, he was being very kind. Maybe it's a run up to the battle soon. Maybe he's being neutral so the battle goes undisturbed.

"Thank you. Atleast I can rest knowning that the world is safe from a second demon lord" Adam whispered in Airvertian

"It's no problem Acenra, nothing will happen until after your battle. good luck, and remember, if you suceed, there is a good ball awaiting you in your homeland"

"I'll see you then" he broke the magic connection and stood watching the rest of the city

Alice skidded on the polished hall floor and put Sophie and Tyler down

"Kid, I don't think that's wise. When Adam wants to be alone, he wants to be alone" She said. She was confused, and also awaiting Sophie's answer to her question "Also, you need medical attention, you just got half of your spirit removed, I think a nice long rest would do you good"

Dr. RapidFire would join if he was ten levels higher. I'll get him trained and I'll drop you a notice when he reaches lvl 20 or so.
