Arashi

Milly twitched awake at Ernesto's voice and looked around in post-sleep confusion before remembering anything the janitor had said. Mummbling what might be concidered 'thanks' if one listened carefully and was being generous, she leaned forward.

She really wasn't a big coffee drinker, though her mother probibly had twenty percent of it in her blood stream at all times. Still, after her day she really wanted something, and refusing it after Mr. Jimenez had already bought it would be rude. She winced at the strong taste, before setting it down.

Maybe it'll be better after it cools a little...

She looked over at her friends, Miss Penny was asleep in what had to be an uncomfortible position, or at least promised to give her a sore neck in the morning. Mr. Jimenez was writing something on a clipboard and looking a bit confused.

She slipped off the chair and tried to guide Miss Penny into a laying position on the couch. An odd impulse hit her and she sat by the woman's head and began to brush and braid her hair.

"What's that Mr Jimenez?" She asked quietly.

((Well hopefully, the random violence dies down and we can get to actual 'drama' and not deteriorate the thread into fight after fight.))

Milly huddled and watched as Ernesto tied the knot round Jack's arm. As usual, the rapid motions of the car had no particular effect on her, just like the roller coasters she had ridden on. As the janitor sat back, the teen bit her lip before scooting forward.

"Sir, you made that too tight. It'll cut bloodflow entirely." Milly gently loosened the wrap and repositioned it slightly. "Mr. Jack? I need you to keep pressure here," She lifted his other hand and set it to the pressure point she had been shown in the first aid class.

After-Image giggled, the sounds echoing hollowy. She had been fairly relaxed occassonally pulling the life force of the hydras and transmitting it to her companions, as such, she had watched Nena's actions. Spotting the Krakens, however made things a shade harder.

Deciding to get more directly involvded, After-Image literally split in half, each side forming the missing one in short order. A sharp eye would notice the left one was a few shades darker and seemed even less substantcial then the right. As the spectral image (Dark servent) moved off, channeling netherworld energies into a Kraken. After-Image positioned herself in the thickest part of the fighting and opened her mouth.

The high-pitched, soul-sheering wail rocketed from her. The concussive soundwaves disrupting the Hydras and shacking their simple minds focus. The effort weakened her enough that she faded from active participation for a short while.

Seeing the hydra, After-Image held out her hand, calling forth the chill of the grave around the area. Slowing and weakening her foes even as she clouded those around her in a vail of shadows.

It's a superhero comic world. Death is never perminate. How many times has Jean Grey died? Superman? Yet they're still hopping around like normal.

Unless you are absolutly, 1000% sure you are not going to RP that character anymore, keep the option open. Worse comes to worse, she's a dimention counter-part of the original who got arrived somehow.

After-Image chuckled silently as she floated behind Nena. The living were always such great sorces of entertainment.

Following her bomb, Rad Spike cocked her head and decided that her two earstwhile allies could use a bit of a pick-me-up with only a mild radioactive aftertaste. Pointing at them she sent a carefully regulated stream that triggered effects in their bio-chemisrty nearly identical to heightened adrenalian production.

Milly wasn't sure before that day what hyperventilating really was, but after huddeling under Penny in the stairwell, she had an infinatly better idea. She felt a great deal of reliefe when it looked like they were finally leaving, only to have it shatter on her when the men and their guns pulled in front of them.

"No!" She cried, curling next to Penny. She cried again when Ernesto positioned himself between the guns and them. Reaching out a hand she felt the odd tingle again.

Ernesto, in the meantime felt odd as well, heavier, more sturdy then before.

((Heh, poor Xander, the only females in the group are Nena and Image. The fox-woman and the ghost. ))

Then to sewers we should go then. After-Image nodded her mouth twitching in slight amusment at what she felt in the others minds. Hydra being should be warry off.

--------

The grenade detonated, throwing Rad Spike into a brief spin in the air. Recovering, the Russian glared at R0CK-0N and lifted her hands above her head, a sphere of magnetically contained radiation forming rapidly.

"Be havink some own medicene capitalist swine." she scoffed before lobbing the neutron bomb at the Tank.

"My vote is being dropped to often on his head as a kid." The puffball bobbed in an aproximation of a nod.

"Waghaaa!" Diamond cried out as she was tossed. "I'll show you!" Diamond Kei cried as she fired a volley of incindiary missles at Ghoul. As the warmed up nerf darts flew at the Bouncer, Stella flicked around the room, passing through people as she went, keeping her own non-eyes on Devin and Vee.

I love Kingdom Hearts. <3 <3 <3 Even got the soundtrack for it. And yes, I fought the entire Colliseum to get to Sephiroth. It only took me eight tries to beat him too.

While Ani showed little interest in the costume trunk, her toys dived in head long.

"Giddiyap!" Ruby exclaimed, emerging with a cowboy hat and a rope slung over his shoulder.

Sapphire and Emerald took a bit longer but managed to climb out of the trunk in a respectible mock-up of Knives of Artemis mercenaries.

Pearl and Onyx looked odd, one in a tophat and cane, the other in a white vail. "..." Was their comment under Ani's raised eyebrow.

"Yay!" Diamond jumped out, brandishing her water cannons. One would absently wonder how she had managed to get the bright yellow bikini on, or how her red wig stayed on her head. After all, this version of Kei of the Dirty Pair didn't even have hands.

UnLost have many working Rikti machines... After-Image commented after the baron's departure. Have not known them to work with magic before though. Is disturbing idea.

-------

With her radiation perminating the Freakshow, Rad Spike shifted into the offessive, coolly confidant that the mad capitalists would not, as the American saying went, be able to hit the broadside of a barn.

"Americans, always so jumpy about little radiation." She said to Wielder as her armor released a wave of harsh radiation around her once she was in the middle of the fight. An addition to the cellular damage her attack would do, the lingering effects would only add to their delirium, worsening their aim even more.

Milly obidiently walked over to look at Ernesto's daughter. "Ohhh... how cute!" She gave a smile and a nod to Jack as he passed through the main hall. Turning back to Ernesto, what ever she was about to say was drowned in the sound of an explosion.

Falling to her knees with a scream, Milly looked at the sudden chaos and felt her heartrate shoot up. "What's happening?" She cried out, her hand grabbed by Penny as the older woman lead her away from the sudden violence.

She looked at the buildings security force and wished there was something she could do for them... maybe if they could react to things faster...

Hmm... most of the characters I bring into RPs here were all alreay pretty well developed 'out of the box' as it were. I would tinker on my hero builder and come up with powersets I was curious on. Then I would hatch up a backgroud for them before pluging it all into the game and working a costume (mostly) on the fly. The name was usually the sticky part. :/

Nightrayne is character who's undergone the greatest amount of change since being brought into SH101. If you read the inital posts, her 'speach' was very normal. I was still developing her in game personality when I brought her into that one, when it was finally nailed down, I 'imported' the completed personality into SH101 and pow... heads exploded trying to make sense of her words.

As for my others... Mira Misaki is/was a fairly random experiment with the new thug set, she has since, been deleted off my account, but may be remade on another sever someday.

Tam Khat... She's my fun character. Energetic past the point of hyperactive. Lesbian and making absolutly no attempt to hide it. Mostly upbeat and silly, she my smile and giggle character.

Kei/Lightarrow... a fairly recent idea mostly brought about by playing Warcraft 3 one day while waiting for my internet connection to come back. Nightelves for teh win!

AJ... :oints at Essex:: Her fault! All her fault!

(And speaking of Essex...) Stellarmare... Where Rosie is your reflection, Stell is an outright Mary Sue. I intentionally waited until I had a kheld before pluggin myself into the game, and was not remotly disapointed. Her back story is twecked slightly to fit in game, but she has my name and attitude.

Revanchee... my first villain and favorite of them, however I never managed to come up with a backstory for her. She is being developed almost totally in Crown of Thornes. :/

Cortianna... ... ... Honestly I have no clue where she came from. :shock:

Obsidian Song/Cali... Cali and the Kings Row PD Cape and Cowl division from A Simple Game is taken whole sale from her Pinnacle SG where she exists and works with several other RPers.

After-Image... started as a half formed idea that finally found fertile soil when I heard a RPC member on Protector asking if any of us on Pinn were interested in a Victorian-era/Silver Age theme SG. Shortly there after, the ghost girl was make and haunting Hellions in Atlas.

Rad Spike... my Russian hero is another very recent creation. (not even a week old) so she is still undergoing personality modifications. ::hides several sharp and pointy tools behind her back::

((...and the screen took on a boarder of flowers and light colored background at the two, man and boy connected on an intimate level...

Sorry. Couldn't resist. ))

After-Image looked at Ryuji before shrugging.

Is not important. I am bound by violence and driven to end what I can. I do not know how long I have existed like this. Or how long I shall stay so.

Milly sighed, for some reason, she had felt as thou the world had slowed down some after Mr. Tharomar's office, but the trick had ended and she soon found herself well past the time she was to leave.

"Darn," She sighed looking at the clock on the mail room wall. "I missed the last bus. Looks like I'm walking home."

Grabbing her coat, Mily locked the room up and made her way to the enterance, thinking that a skirt, while showing her best attribute, was not really the best thing to be walking in on a winter night.

"Oh! Evening Miss Penny," She smiled at the woman and the night janitor. "Mr. Jimenez, I hope you have a quiet night sir."

"Beating up babies, beating up babies!" Ruby chanted before being solidly thunked by Diamond as the six toys followed Ani as she skimmed to the living room.

Stella squeeked as Vee left the table and scurried after her, a sneez halfway there turned her into a glowing swirl of energy once more.

An bad day. Many have joined me on this side.

The voice echoed in Azuria's room as the translucent form of After-Image manifasted. Once a young woman on the cusp of adulthood, she might have been pretty before being strangled to death and thrown into the Independence Port bay. Now her shredded clothes, pale grey-blue skin, tatterd hair and the brusing around her neck marked her as a ghost. Hovering peaceibly off the ground, After-Image turned the black pits of her eyes to Nena, Pariku and Ryuji.

You seek aid in ending of violence?

--------

Istaid of announcing her presence to the Freakshow and thier, apparent, ally. Svetlana Valyov, registerd under the name Rad Spike mearly sent an electron haze into the group followed by waves of harsh radiation into the Noise Tank and those around him that would weaken and slow them.

"Am always knowink that capitalism root of problem. For the collektive." She calmly stated. The armor bound Russian scientist, her black and red life-supporting armor gleaming as it held her in the air, said little more as her radiation scored lungs labored behind her rebreather.

Yeah, biggest RP populations seem to be on Virtue, though my own on Pinnacle has several dozen SGs and VGs of varied sizes. I also know there are some on Protector.

You could go on the server board for Infinity and either look for a RP souper group or post a thread asking about on.

If somebody is a heavy roleplayer, they act as though the character on the moniter is them. Their perceptions are just from the game and they act as though it is real. (So no saying things like 'Just 20 more xp till I level and get my travel power!' Or direct references to game mechanics.) They tend to be that way pretty well the duration of their time ingame.

Light RPers are like the above, but more willing to run things Out of Character or with more leniency toward technicalities.

"Interesting. Perhaps there was a window or other opening?" Cali mussed, tapping her chin. with one hand while her other toyed with the police badge hanging from her belt.

((It did, you just placed yourself in a meeting with another player who was already in a meeting with someone else. It would've been better to have your character arrive for his meeting and use the first post to describe him.))
