Immortal113

A dark figure drops from the ceiling, jet black hair trailing above him, his landing silent and graceful. Almost instinctively, he spins on his heels, unholsters his pistol, and shoots the gun at head's height. Doc Mayhem, who had been standing idle a few yards away, falls lifelessly to the thread's blood-bathed floor. The dark figure turns once more, and surveys the area. He knows there are more. And he will find them.

Immortal has returned.

Suddenly, a rogue steam roller crashes through the ceiling and lands on Immortal's ear. Unfortunately, Immortal keeps his ear on his skull, which is crushed as well.

Immortal respawns, and cries with joy at the reappearance of his old friend as he fills his body with hot lead.

* Supergroup Name: The Knights of Paragon

* Website: You can find us on Guild Portal at:
http://www.guildportal.com/Guild.asp...mp;TabID=96180

* Leader: Hollow

* Other members to contact: Black, Icebreaker, Omegus, Paragon Patriot, and Force.

* Preferred Method of contact: You can most easily and readily reach the Knights of Paragon through our message boards on our guild portal home at the link above.

* Guild Description: The Knights of Paragon are a Role Playing-centric group, although we do not consider ourselves "hard core" in any way. We have a family-like atmosphere, as many of the members have known eachother for years. The supergroup itself was founded two years before City of Heroes was even released, or thereabouts. We are most active in our message boards, where we participate in RP storyarchs, getting to know our characters better and enjoying the chance to have them work together not only only in-game, but in text. This is a tradition that we have continued since before the game itself.

We have in-game meetings once a month, when we get together and generally pound on bad guys. Other than that, you can usually find at least three or four of us on at a time, but that number generally varies depending on the time of day and the day of the week. Some of our members are very casual, while others play all the time, so you needn't worry about feeling like you don't participate enough, or too much, as long as you DO participate.

As for group theme, the only one is general morality and chivalry. Other than that, we are a band of very unqiue and different heroes, brought together by a common fight for justice.

Congratulations on the promotion!

And make sure to add in a thinly veiled nod to City of Heroes in one of the item descriptions, if you can. Maybe something like,
"This scroll has been passed on for generations, gaining in power as time goes on. It's extremely rare, and your finding it means you are one step closer to ultimate power. Of course, if you were playing City of Heroes, you wouldn't have to spend your life looking for pieces of paper that shoot fire balls. But, hey, whatever floats your boat."

Immortal feels a disturbance in the force, as if a thousand posts suddenly screamed out, and were silenced.

Angered by this injustice, Immortal kicks Einstein in the shins so bad he bleeds and it hurts and stuff. Many skin cells were killed.

See my prior post for the correct answer. That's from Manticore himself posting the changes. All those body switches made Psyche's powersets a mite odd, IMHO.


[/ QUOTE ]

You are correct. Sister Psyche has always been a Mindrider. Her merge with Aurora Borealis was obviously the most extreme case, but she occasionally picks up other powers when she is riding with a super.

[/ QUOTE ]

Mindrider, eh? Interesting...I haven't heard this term used yet. Did you just coin it, or is it a peek at things to come?

Immortal pwnz mor nubz.

Immortal respawns.
His head blows up.

Eisnstien kills himself becous all of the latest kills are so un-origional. Einstien wants to make a new kill thread but is afraid of plagarism.

Einstein's mediocre grammar and spelling takes the form of a hideous monster that eats all his graham crackers. The graham cracker remains reanimate as the undead, and after Fred gets shot to death by a frightened citizien, the rest of them go on strike, asking for more Living Dead Snack rights. Nobody knows what they're going on strike FROM, so nobody notices.

Immortal respawns, and pwnz nubz til they die.

Immortal respawns, feeling quite injusticed.

He writes an angry letter to Krystal.

Krystal dies.

Immortal comes back as the undead, and starts a zombie epidemic that wipes out the newly remade human race that Einstein just wiped out with his devil magic and algebraic equations.

Everybody jams to Thriller.

Except Michael Jackson, who has legal immunity from zombies.

The zombies create a peaceful protest in front of his house, but then Ash comes in and hacks em into small pieces.

Jackson sues Ash for everything he's got, and Ash is reduced to acting in B-movies, and occasionally appearing in popular television shows, always just out of the public eye.

Meanwhile, Immortal realises he's a vampire, so his creating the zombie epidemic was just a fluke on the writer's part.

Rhyno's angry ghost scares Dragon off a cliff, into a vat of scarring chemicals, except it's not a vat at all, but a giant meteor-dwelling worm creature's mouth, but by that time it's too late, and then it turns out that Doctor Octopus is inside the giant meteor-dwelling worm's belly, and he rips Dragon to bits, except it's not really Doctor Octopus, but a Rikti spy who wanted to be a good guy but then got his eye poked out by Statesman so now he's bad again, but that doesn't matter because he still has those scary metal arms that aren't really arms at all, but pure kryptonite shaped into looking like arms, just in case Superman was pretending to be Dragon, but he wasn't, so that doesn't matter either.

Scooby and the gang later finds out that it wasn't Rhyno's angry ghost at all, but a projected image created by Immortal, who just wanted to keep those lousy kids away from his abandoned amusement park.

Oh, and Immortal eats babies.

Immortal goes emo and kills himself.

Nobody understands...

Immortal organizes a sacrificial ritual in tribute to Rhino, thread-god. He doesn't have anything to sacrifice, so he grabs Einstein. Einstein falls into the volcano, and the volcano spits him out in disgust. The volcano dies three weeks later of violent food poisoning.

Absolutely nothing is wrong with any sort of Veteran reward.

Knowing Pos' penchant for puzzles and innuendos, it would appear by this comment that there may very well BE a Veteran badge. Just my 2 influence.

It's like in the D&D game, when the DM says, "You don't see the trap." You begin to question the statement, and wonder if indeed there is a trap, since you didn't see it. LOL.

[/ QUOTE ]

Hahaha!
As a noob DM who just started a few weeks ago, I find that especially entertaining.

Immortal walks into the thread, expecting that his former post's self has already been eliminated, considering the time that has passed.

But the thread is empty, and a cruel wind blows. Immortal's eyes squint behind his jet black sunglasses.
"I'm here. I'm here...somewhere..."
There is a footstep off in the distance, slightly padded by the stealth suit Immortal knows so well...then the familiar sound of a bullet exiting a chamber.

Immortal drops to the floor, and rolls without hesitation, a trail of smoking bullet-holes in his wake. High above, on top of a rather new-looking office building, Immortal grins with the sort of pleasure a spider gets slowly entangling a fly. He exposes a set of almost unnaturally straight teeth, save for two of them, two elongated teeth, with sharp, gleaming points.

With a flourish, Immortal drops his high-powered rifle, and leaps from the rooftop. Down below, Immortal looks up from behind a dumpster that he was using for cover. He observes as Immortal lands the 50 foot drop as if he were stepping from one stair to the next. He grits his fanged teeth, and pulls out two automated pistols. Immortal stops dead, and listens. He can hear the sound of a gun being drawn for a mile. He turns toward a nearby alleyway, and stares evilly at a dumpster within.

Before he can act, though, a fleet of bullets pierce the thin metal layers of the dumpster, and fly through space in his direction. He leaps up 20 feet into the air, evading the projectiles' courses by seconds, and observes his hiding foe, who looks up and finally meets eyes with his adversary.

Immortal stares at Immortal as if he were simply an old mirror needing to be broken.

Immortal lands into a tuck and roll that gracefully turns into a powerful leap. He grabs Immortal around the chest, and tackles him into a brick wall. Their combined weight mixed with Immortal's unnatural strength is more than enough for the bonds between the bricks to give way. The wall crumbles around them as they travel through the air, finally landing on an uninhabited desk.

It collapses underneath the fighters, and immediately the place breaks out into panic. The customers immediately fall to the floor or rush out the entrance. All the workers tremble in fright, and look around frantically for those Luck inspirations they stocked up on when an entire supergroup got knocked out right in front of the bank last week. Immortal shakes himself off, and looks to Immortal, laying next to him.

"This has gone on long enough."

Immortal scoffs.

"Fine."

With lightning fast reflexes rivaling the speed of light, they both bring their hands up through the air and aim their pistols at eachothers' heads. The cool feel of the metal barrel up against his forehead is all too familiar to Immortal. Blood trickles down his pale skin, and down to his mouth. He licks it from his lips and grins in delight.

"I wonder if yours tastes like mine?"
Immortal scours.
"Just try it, bi--"

Before either of them can continue, though, a large Tank wearing a futuristic tech-suit and a dopey insigna on his chest falls through the roof, killing them both. He dusts himself off, and super-jumps away, creating another hole in the roof. Two of the bankers look to eachother.

"Did you understand that post?"
"Not really. But it sort of reminded me of every action movie I don't like."
"Really? I thought the dialogue was rather witty."
"Well, I'll give you that. The writing wasn't bad."
"Enh. Anyway. I think we better get back to work so the post can end."
"Good call. So you goin' to Fred's house on--"
"Shh!"
"Oh, yeah, right."

End.

Einstien after respawning from the dreaded killer wind comes up with a crazy idia.

He quikly grabed a pistol put it point blank to his hand and fired. "AAAAAGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!! The pain oh crap agh aaaaahhhhh!!!!! AAAAGHGHHAAA!!! MY HAND! MY HAND! THE PAIN!!! WHY AM I SO CURIOUS!?! WHY?!!!?? AHHHHGGG MY HAND!!! MY HAAAAAAAAAAAND!! I HAD TO KNOW IT WAS IN THE NAME OF SCIENCE!!!! BUT WHY DID I HAVE TO DO IT?!?" This had no meaning or point but he did kill many skin cells on his hand.

[/ QUOTE ]

Einstein's skin cells come back in a B horror movie and stalk him and his family until the third part of the trilogy, when he is finally devoured by the undead and becomes one of them. A spin-off cartoon about his wacky adventures eating "brainy snacks" and solving mysteries follows.

"You annoy me very very very much" Tick-Tok said as he blew Prof Einstein up with a thunderous blast six slotted with HOs. Tick-Tok then proceedes to his his Archmageness to make Prof Einstein extremely weak and powerless so that even a small breeze could kill him.

Tick-Tok accidentally creates an immensely powerful small breeze that goes homicidal and kills Tick-Tok.

Immortal screams "billygoat" at the top of his lungs, and all the thread-world's inhabitants die.

Mysteriously, the billygoat community remains intact.

Immortal creates a mob of angry soccer moms, who all protest the thread members to death, while holding Immortal up as a deity.

Immortal makes some french toast. He eats it. It tastes good.

A safe distance!, tired of lingering in ProfEinstein's split atom's shadow, goes on a murderous rampage and eliminates the word "safe" from its name, blowing ProfEinstein to very small Einstein-bits.

Ha, pretty cool, I would've never thought to create an RP story like that. Very nice job. If you don't mind, though, I have a few constructive criticisms. Things that, in my opinion, could've made it better;

Letting the viewers get to know all the members of the group, and their relationships with Dark Lightning. Make us want him back as badly as your group does.

Giving us more background information on when DL dissapeared, and why. Maybe even some lead-up slides taken before DL goes missing to set the stage.

More dialogue slides, maybe even some comic-book-style close up slides on the action as it happens, rather than the before, after, and during shots that you took.

Other than that, though, I commend you on putting the work into something like that, and I enjoyed it. Seeing as how your group isn't into RP like you mentioned, you did a very nice job of orchestrating their dialogue and the screenshots. I especially liked the one with the trolls knocked out in a circle around your character.

The Theory of Relativity, tired of lingering in ProfEinstein's shadow, goes on a murderous rampage and shoots the professor point blank with a very shiny revolver.

Immortal faces off with his nemesis in the middle of a snowy field in the middle of nowhere. Dramatic music plays as they stare eachother down. Immortal holds a woman hostage in his arms. His opponent grimaces.
"Let her go, I love her!"
Immortal scowls.
"SO DO I!!!"
"If you love her, let her go!!!"
Immortal kills the woman. There is a pause. Immortal suddenly cries out,
"NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
His opponent, bewildered, speaks out.
"Why are you sad if you killed her on purpose?"
Immortal scoffs.
"Don't you understand???? The deathstar is nearing completion! If we don't take the ring to the volcano where it was created, dad's dinner with his boss will be ruined!!!"
His opponent nods solemnly.
"Groovy."
And proceeds to take out his sword, twirling it about masterfully in a show of skills that he must've sharpened his entire life. Immortal pulls out a gun and shoots him casually, while shouting "Expelliarmus!!!"
Suddenly, a spider bites him and he gains the extraordinary power to wear a bat costume and see through walls.

The world instantaneously collapses in on itself as a direct consequence.

Valiant Sets the word conceptual on fire,
and it cries like a little girl.

Immortal is beamed down from the mothership, into the kill thread, enraged. He proceeds to kick Valiant repeatedly in the elbow until he dies, and then proceeds to rant for an extended amount of time about how Valiant broke the rules of the Kill Thread by not Killing anything in his post.

Meanwhile, Conceptual lies in a hospital bed, comatose and within inches of death. A tiny vowel weeps at his side.
