"Grab a hold of me!" shouted Next Dimension, before exploding in a blast of light, transforming into the hulking mass that was dwarf form. Beckoning the group towards him, he prepared to teleport those he could.

((This is going to be a collection of different pieces leading towards the plotline i'm bringing up, which has formed from the now evident murder of Assassion by Infinitron during the 'Last Stand' open RP plotline. Will be newspaper articles, news reports, rumours and such. Feel free to add own reactions to the over zealous nature involved)).

Steel Assassinations
3 more bodies were discovered last night with single gunshot wounds to the head, in what appears to be the 9th murder in the last 2 days. The three bodies have not been identified, but sported the mystical tattoos of the Tsoo clan. The last 6 bodies have all been identified as wanted criminals, previous inmates and escapees of the Zig Penintentiary Facility.
The murders seem to have been carried out with a high caliber rifle.
City officials deny any involvement, and that none of the cities licenced heroes have come forward to have been involved; leading us to think that there is a vigilante out there taking matters into their own hands.
We wait to see how many more bodies will be found before the perpetrator is discovered.

As Infinitron shimmered out of view again, his voice could be heard to drone out,
"Mercy is for the weak, you will learn this soon enough".

As all the doors in the room slid open at once, the noise of rocket boots igniting was heard; and a gust of wind ripped round as the invisible Infinitron blasted out.

Taking a gash across the face, Next Dimensions eyes grew bright and he began to unleash waves of white energy at the crawling target.

((loud bleeding?!?))

/unsigned - doesn't fit thematically for me; they wouldn't have spandex supplies.

I actually really like this idea.

This would be worth trying, would take hella organisation and timing skills.

I submit myself for being ported around, and wave any complaints to losing limbs. :P

The sudden shift and pressure change was enough to stir Next Dimension, as he came round with a gasp of air.
Aching, he rolled over onto his front and pushed himself up to his knees. Clicking his nexk and his fingers, he stood up and looked round. Reaching for his communicator, he found that it was missing.
He looked at the path they had been taking and marched off towards it.

No need to apologise, whatever you can do, whenever you can do it is greatly appreciated by all. You're not being paid for these, so there is no commitment.

Keep it up, great stuff so far.

Really need to get an idea of numbers of people interested.

The scale of the threat wont be city destroying, but will be pretty devestating if left unchecked. There will be a time and place for all types of toons, from investigative characters to superstrength uber heroes.

The tone may well end up being quite serious at points; but due to my character it will be difficult for me to totally remove humour.

I need responses here and possible characters so i can develop the idea in my head; if i dont get that i might have to shelve it, or take it down a completely different line in my head.

Thanks in advance,

Inf.

I have had in my head for a while a plot for my main Character, stemming off the end of Seans A Last Stand plot.

Now I am in several minds about how to go about it, and will need the entire RP communities input here, as I don't want it to fall flat on its face.

First off I would like to know who would get involved in the plot - i feel it will be quite open to most characters.
Without spoiling anything, I will require 3 groups of people.
1) People who are acquainted with and (to a degree) like Infinitron.
2) People who aren't too fond of him (he's a showoff, and a bit of a renegade, so shouldn't be too much of a stretch)
3) General heroes who want to save the day.

Hopefully many people will have characters that fall into that.

Now how to go about my plot, again i have several options and want your feelings on them, as they have advantages and disadvantages each:

1) Open RP - most open to everyone, people can write their characters in their own style, with direction from me.
Problems; hard to keep in check sometimes, and not everyone 'gets' where the 'director' is taking the plot.
May use this to get the players together in an opening plotline.
2) Closed RP - This way i know who is 'playing' as it were, and can individually give people ideas of what is going to happen with their character (i won't dictate, i will merely guide) to progress the plot along the lines i imagine.
Problems: Don't want to force people down lines they dont feel natural for their character (would avoid this as much as possible, but could happen). Also closes off the story to many people who will not even read the thread if they see closed RP.
3) Write it as one story myself - This way everything goes exactly how I imagine it.
Problems: Other peoples characters, i wouldn't presume i would ever know anyone well enough to write as their characters.
Possible solution: Careful writing and contact with characters involved (via PM or email) to gauge their appropriate reactions.

Endings - alternate endings, how do people feel about this - i have a theory on how to explain this.


Hopefully my lack of information on the actual plot doesn't put you off from replying here - and every opinion is welcome, be it that of a veteran RP'er or a newcomer, i want everyone to get involved if it fits (obviously closer to the plot characters can change their minds, the plot is such that this will be easy - as will become evident).

My deepest regards,

Inf.

I would be honoured if you did one of Infinitron

(shoulder pieces have changed since this pic, but it's good enough )

meanwhile... In Steel Canyon

Lieutenant Grant stepped into the entrance of Infinicorp. headquarters. Approaching the floating bot in the otherwise deserted reception, he glanced around the battle damaged walls that hadn't been repaired beyond structural damage since the incursion 3 months back.
Showing his credentials to the bot, he announced,
"I am Lieutenant Grant, United States Air Force, I am here to see Mr. Infinus. He is expecting me."

"I'm sorry sir, but Mr. Infinus is not in at this time. I will tell him you were here and contact you shortly"

Confused, Grant smartly did an about turn and marched out, pulling out a phone as he did so.

Meanwhile... back on the lower decks of the fortress

Doors along the corridor slide open and shut, but with no-one visibly going through them.

Meanwhile...

A pair of rocket powered metallic boots touch down in the lower floors of the fortress, through a hole in the hull. The mono-eyed scarred face of Joseph Infinus looks around the corridor; then shimmers out of sight as he activates his Chameleon technology ((Invisibility)).

A smile crossed the normally stern face of The Walking Shadow.
"Well it's better than the alternative" he muttered, "but I still suggest we get this out of here - as I think those explosives are real, and I wouldn't trust those toys. Better safe than sorry. But if you'll excuse me, I will depart" and with that he disappeared in a blink, leaving a ripple and a vacuum as he supersped away, a black blur through the streets of Paragon; ready for next time evil poked out its ugly head.

As Morgana edged backwards, she bumped into the coated masked black figure of The Walking Shadow.
"Going somewhere?" he asked, offering a hand.
Turning to the other heroes, "I got all civvies i could find out, so do what you gotta do, and i'll move myself out of here." turning back to Morgana, he asked
"Need a lift?" with a smile.

The world suddenly sped up as The Walking Shadow snapped to a halt. Focusing on where the shout had come from, he span on his heels and ripped off into the distance, leaving a ripple and a blur in the air.

Outside of Pandora's Box there was a whistling noise and then, from nowhere, the trenchcoated masked figure appeared. He had arrived before the second exclamation mark.
"You called? You sure it's this car?" he asked peering into the back to see the high explosives, "Ah" he muttered.
"I'll clear the area, I'm not very technically minded" he said before disappearing in a blink, checking the nearest buildings and ushering people out.

The only thing that passersby would have seen was a blur; had they been looking and not vacating Steel Canyon after seeing the broadcast.
The Walking Shadow sped through the district at Superspeed; to him he was merely running as the world slowed down. He looked into each window of parked cars for any explosives, but to no avail. With increasingly less time, The Walking Shadow began to worry - the threat sounded serious. He didn't know the Mechano character - but explosives in public, plus the infectious threat, is never a good thing.
He sped onwards.

((loving this so far, great stuff. The first part was brilliantly written with a lovely twist, and the second equally so))

The form of Rufus lay flat out on his back, his 'costume' patchy due to the forced unconcious transformation back into human form.
Get up something deep within him commanded.

His eyes sprang open, glowing furious white; the glow spread quickly over his body, returning the detail to the costume, and forming a bubble around the figure.

Straight from the floor he rose, arms outstretched, and arched his back as he focused his energy ([Build Up]).

Accelerating forwards he clenched his fists and slammed through first one, then another and another drone; spinning and opening his palms releasing waves of energy blasts into each drone he could see.

Not seeing any more, the glow dimmed, the bubble faded; and the momentarily empowered form of Rufus fell, slumping back into unconciousness on the floor in the room - next to his teammates.

...Deadpool, Teenage Mutant Ninja (/Hero) Turtles, He-man, She-ra...

Well theres a plot coming up with Inf that hopefully lots of people will get involved with (separately for people who know him/like him, people who are heroes in general, and for people who aren't too fond of him - i.e. some who think he is a jerk - and may just be vindicated in that appraisal) that could have multiple resolutions.

I think i will start the story with interactive RP, and then as i work it through write the ending the way i want it; and possibly do multiple alternative endings aswell.

Will begin at the end of Seans Open RP.

I meant your specific style.
