IceFlare

Chapter Two: Betrayal

Damn I can't believe this crap. How could after all the supposed months casing this place did they not see that it was run by these freaking Thorn freaks.

The Spectral guardian was suspended above the Circle of Thorn coven that occupied the warehouse. Holding in his boney hand the battered form of Anibus.

" Should I kill him now master?"

"No, I think we can find another purpose for our uninvited guest. Place him on the table"

One hour earlier

"Are you sure this place is empty, I'm getting a bad vibe from this place."

"Damn it Anibus, didn’t I not tell you that we've had a guy case This place for the past month. I'm telling you this old geezer is so stupid he leaves this place unguarded till morning. All you got to is slip in from the skylight and grab the loot."

"Tell me again why it has to be me and not another of my boys who go in there."

" Because your the only one who can shroud yourself in shadow so the cameras don't get you."

Now

They must have known I was planning to split after this. Those freaking bastards, I thought we where family. [censored] I grew up with half the guys on my crew and they betrayed me. So help me if I survive the night I swear I'll make them pay.

Here are the inspirations for my characters in order of most played to least.

Name: IceFlare
Server: Victory
Archetype: Mutant Fire/Ice Blaster.

Iceflares has many inspirations. IceFlare is me, at least if I had mutant powers. I chose Fire/ Ice as I feel it represents my personality, Hot headed but also cool. I was also inspired by Iceman of the X-men. I read in an old comic that Bobby was always afraid of being laught at and one day just desided to act the clown to escape that fear.

Name: GTO
Server: Victory(for pwrgaming) and Virtue(for RPing)
Archetype: Natural Scrapper/ Invulnerability.
Inspiration: Obviosly the GTO anime series. After watching the last episiode I wondered what he would do. After COH came out I made it as after escaping the police he made his way to the states. and after seeing the hero's on TV desided he would become the best hero in the world.

Name: Anibus Blade
Server: Virtue
Archetype: Magic Dark Scrapper
Inspiration: One night while trying to come up with a magic character, I came up with the Idea of a reluctant gang member trying to get out of the gang life. Since I wanted him to also have an egyptian theme, I desided that after a failed robbery of a Circle of Thorns stronghold Anibus was used in a ritual to awaken Anubis, the egyptian god of Death. Anubis was not pleased and instead granted Anibus with the powers of Ammit(the soul devouring demon) and the ability to way the hearts of man and judge the wicked.

((This is the origin for my main on virtue. Please let me know what you think as I have more planned and may edit .))

Prequel:

Anibus had started hanging out with the Skulls at the age of twelve. He would run to the store to five finger discount them some beer or food. At the age of fifteen he was the youngest member to date. At the age of Twenty he was the youngest bonedaddy in Paragon City.

Now you may be thinking that he grew up an orphan or his parents just didn't care.

On the contrary, Anibus came from a well of middle class family. They had instilled in him a passion to learn the mistic and occult. This passion lead to a morbid fasination with death. After learning that high ranking Skulls could control the powers of death there was no turning back for him.

When the Rikti Invaded Paragon City, Anibus' parent were among the first to be killed.

For all my powers over death, I couldn't even prevent them from passing.

He wanted out. Out of the gang, out of the city. To many painfull memories, to many regrets.

He heard rumblings about a big hit going down in a Kings Row Werehouse. Some rich guy had a shipment of Egyptian artifacts coming in.

This is the chance I've been waiting for. one more job and I'll have enough to dissapear.

oops, Completly forgot the O

Massively multi player

Don't feel bad I was clueless about the MMO for a long time too.

OOC:

After months of procrastinating I've finally started my Origin. I hope you all like it and feel free to be brutally honest with your oppinions

Prologue

Ms. Gonzalez sat nervously besides the hospital bed where her son, Ricardo lay.Despite his insistance that he was fine, his temperature had not gone below 120 degrees for the past week.

" Well Ms. Gonzalez, the blood work came back." the Doctor said. Coming into the room to stand at the foot of the bed.

"What is it doctor. Please tell me what my baby has?' the mother pleaded, no longer able to hold back the tears.

" There's no need for alarm, The tests show no sign of infection nor any virus."

" If Ricardo is fine than why doesn't his fever go down?"

"The tests came back showing an abnormality in your sons Dna. Your son, Ms. Gonzalez is a Mutant and I believe the high temperature is some manifestation of his mutation."

Mutant, the word brought a swirl of images to mind. News reports of people with inhuman powers to ****, steal and kill. Of heros defending those who admire and fear them at the same time.

"But... But I thought mutant powers showed during puberty. Why is a three year old showing powers?"

"That I can't explain. We'll be discharging Ricardo today. The only advice I can tell you is to be very carefull with him. I fear that a high body temp is the least of your sons powers.

To Be Continues

A Great ending for what has to be one of the best Origin stories I've read on this board. You have inspired be to work harder on finishing my story

ROFL. O my god that by far has to be the funniest thing I've read all week. I can just imagine a sitcom on comedy central.

"obvious aesthetic reasons"

So Thats how there calling that now a days

Great story.I had read your origin story this morning and thought that was good to.

For IceFlare, my Fire/Ice Blaster It would have to be Firestarter from Prodigy. For GTO it would be New World Order from Ministry.

These are fight songs, can't think of any good intro songs since there both have funny personalities although IceFlare is deadpan humor and GTO flat out crazy funny.

OOC: Finally finished all the chapters. Great work sly. Now if I could just finish my origin story

1. IceFlare (Mutant Blaster)
Powers: Fire/Ice
Server: Victory
Team: N/A
Origin: After having accidently caused the distruction of his Highshool, Ricardo Gonzalez swore to only Use his devistating powers for good.

2. GTO (Natural Scrapper)
Powers: Martial arts/ Invulnerability
Server: Victory
Team: N/A
Origin: After having become the greatest teacher in Japan. Ex-biker gang leader Ekichi Onizuka desided it was time to educate the more Unruly punks of Paragon city.

Brain washing clones with covers of 80's one hit wonders. i have a bad feeling about this.

As long as you like the character and make the story different in some way than No, I don't think there is a problem with using a character as Dorian.

And for all those people sceaming cookie-cutter I give you what I call the Speedster Theory. Comics have for years taken other peoples characters and made them there own. Taking for example The Flash. DC comics itself has made dozens of characters that all have the same powers as The Flash. So much so that they made up a whole story as to how they all have the same power. Basicly they could all tap into this cosmic energy known as the Speedforce. What made these characters different is THERE ORIGIN. The Flash got his powers by accident while Impulse was born with it.

Long story short is play what you have fun with.

" Freeze or Burn, It's all good to me!"
