Virtue, hands down.

No Raymond...but still good. I am not complaining, I don't want you to put him in when you don't want to.

Awesome stuff as usual Wolffe. I couldn't have done it better myself...seriously I couldn't...no really I mean it guys.

Anyways keep em coming.

Sweet you got the dogs in there. They must be like 20 years old now,lol.

Dang Busted. I actually do want the pictures though. But please do finish the next chapter, I am getting anxious.

Can't you send them in links via PM?

We just need the person, someone else, a friend maybe, could creata a character that looks just like another and just have a different name, names, don't show up in the screenshots anyways.

Another excellent Chapter, keep em coming.

Also I would like it if everyone whose hero is in the story could send me a picture of said hero. I have a little poject I would like to undertake.

Tres Magnifique Mon Ami!

But seriously, great job, although I can't decide which I like better this one or the one before it. Oh well, its all good.

Good Show. Especially the part where I cleave a guy in half. Good stuff...good stuff.

"I appreciate your concern Buck, ol' chap but I don't believe I will be needing his assistance in learning that particular technique. I have almost mastered it already. But I will save that for later. If our myserious host does not arrive soon, Akazi, I will begin searching this building for him. I do not like secrets..."

Raymond started to bend to pet Tank and Bull but then remembered that they are almost as tall as him as it was. Raymond laughed a quiet laugh to himself.

OOC: Kitty, I hope Raymond won't be here often because I got really confused,ha. And manofmanychars I agree with Hermod, no villains yet. Remember that this is a new, different thread from the Hero Academy.

Just then the elavtor stopped and a short man walked out and bowed low.

"Its good to see you all."

Lord Raymond walked up to Buck, "No worries chap, I somehow ended up back in my room. I hope dogs are allowed in here." said Raymond as his two huongous dogs walked into the house.

"May I ask why I wass invited here?"

OOC: I felt that this thread needed a respectable death so here goes.


Lord Raymond woke up lying in his bed. He smelt smoke.

"FIRE!" shouted Lord Raymond as he lept out of bed, activating his brimstone armor.

Raymond ran through the academy alerting the boarders that the building was coming down and that it was too late to salvage it.

Everyone Raymond could get a hold of made it out of the Academy alive, including all of the friends Raymond had made.

Raymond gave one last bow to the building before turning and walked away...

"Lord Raymond, Signing Out..." said Lord Raymond as he walked into the darkness.

OOC: Someone send me a pm when this little saga/episode is over, sos that I can join.

Thanks for the tip

Well this sucks, I was having fun with this. Its too late for me to join Whitmoore, they are way to far along.

Thanks a bunch. I look forward to future installments.

Lord Raymond saw that everyone was jazzercizing but he was not himself.

"I don't care how much 'happiness' you radiate, no one can make a fool out of the British Royal Family."

Once again Lord Raymond's stubborn belief that no one can make the Royal Family do something wrong or stupid was shining through. However the happy powers were still having an affect on Raymond, he couldn't stop smiling.

"Why am I smiling so big? I feel like Alan," said Raymond in jest. "I am heading out to the practice field. I understand that their are some new machines designed for the indominable defensive hero such as myself.

Raymond walked out into the field and stood in the circle in the middle.

"Go," said Raymond. Then 10 machine guns burst out of the ground and began to fire upon Lord Raymond.

The smoke from the guns cleared when they were done firing and Raymond was still standing. He had turned on his Stone Armor just before the bullets struck.

"Level 2. Go," said Raymond as 5 flame throwers shot out of thr ground and opened fire along with the ten machine guns.

Once again the smoke cleared and Raymond had ativated another armor, this time it was brimstone so the fire would be nearly ineffective.

"Level 3. Go," said Raymond again. This time 5 Psionic Weapons burst forth, and once again Raymond activated another armor, minerals which absorbed the attack.

"Level 4. Go."

Five guns began to shoot negative energy right at Lord Raymond along with all of the other guns.

This time when the smoke cleared Raymond was not standing. He lay on the ground unconcious and half-dead.

Raymond came running towards Alan as fast as he could. He hadn't unrooted himself yet, so he looked quite foolish.

"Great Scott Man, why the devil did you turn off your shield. If I hadn't used the blunt part of my axe, you'd be dead. That kind of reckless behavior is going to get you killed and this entire Academy in trouble...Oh why the devil am I yelling at you. I was just afraid you were dead. That was the first time in a long time that I have experienced fear...I suppose that attack of yours could cause me some trouble later on now." Lord Raymond smiled, and he was actually happy this time.

"I have done nothing but what we are supposed to be doing. I swung my axe at him, with the blunt side facing him. Its understanding that he was knocked out, but I can't explain why he shut off his armor..." said Raymond as he leaned on his axe.

"All he really had to do to avoid my swings would have been to step back one more step. I have been rooted to the ground since the beginning of the fight. He'll be all right though, right?"

"I wouldn't worry about getting injured, Alan. We have more healers here than I have ever been associated with before."

Raymond knew that Alan was a street fighter and could play pretty dirty if he wanted to, so Raymond was looking out for tricks.

Raymond swung his axe again at Alan, this time using the blunt side, so as not to risk any serious damage just the same. Raymond was a little suprised that Alan was not using his fists and claws as much as he normally would.

"Please Alan, don't hold back. I can take whatever you've got, I promise."

"All Right Alan," laughed Lord Raymond giving a little wince from the claw in his palm," I gave you the first strike so you could see what I can do, only fair for you to know what I can do right...right then. We are friends so lets avoid any permanent damage, shall we?"

Lord Raymond swung a hard swoop up with his axe at Mended Ribs stomach.

"One swing at a time chap, one swing at a time..."

Raymond loves close combat, being a veritable Tank, and enjoys the thrill of the fight, but he knows what could happen to Alan if he misplaces a blow, and fights accordingly.

OOC: I am hoping that we are going to be healed at the end of this, otherwise Alan is going to have some pretty bad cuts.

2- Brief bio of hero (history)
Lord Raymond Wilkins was a member of the British Royal Family as well as being a high-ranking military official. One afternoon Lord Raymond was invited to a demonstration of new technology by Crey Industries. Not suspecting anything, Lord Raymond agreed to come to the demo as long as a deal could be made for military use of the technology. About half-way through the demo a "malfunction" occurred and a massive explosion killed all present, including several ranking officers in the military. Lord Raymond was assumed dead after not being found during the hours of rubble rummaging that ensued. But much to the surprise of the Royal Family, Lord Raymond appeared at Buckingham Palace later that night. The family was horrified at how Lord Raymond had been marred by the explosion. The explosion had had bizarre effects including shrinking him from his once proud 6 ft 7 inch stature to a miniscule 4 ft and also scarring his face very badly. Other changes including giving the power to command the Earth beneath his feet, the power to fly, and the ability to teleport friends. The Royal Family feared that if this news were to go public there family's overall apperance would go to shambles and instead chose to banish Lord Raymond from ever returning to England under the name Lord Raymond Wilkins. Raymond, who was too proud of his heritage, refused to live under another name and fled to America still under his true name, and wearing a mask to hide his horribly scarred face. Lord Raymond decided then that clearly this malfunction was intentional, seeing as how there were so many influential people present, and began his search for those who were responsible. At the same time he also felt that by becoming a hero in America he would be welcomed home by his family again. This search led him to Paragon City, the City of Heroes, and home to Crey Industries. Lord Raymond has to fight through many trials to get to the point where he would have access to Crey Industries and all of his victories soon gained him the title The Courageous Majestic Lord Raymond. Lord Raymond has helped in the defeat of Dr. Vahzilok on several occasions, Maestro of the Council, and defeated Luska the Giant Squid and the Winter Lord many times as well as defeating all other villain groups that could have possibly had something to do with the "accident."

3- personality (moral beliefs, are they a clutz? a ninja mysterious? etc.)

He is often sad when he remembers how his family has abandoned him, and hates people who destroy lives. He is easily upset by people who make fun of his height. But he is very wise and very strong. Despite his inner sadness he is usually very cheerful when he speaks to others and rambles quite often. Oh and I didn't know where else to put this, Lord Raymond has two big dogs, Tank and Bull. They are Newfoundlands(some of the world's largest types of dogs) and are large even for the breed. They can sense danger and will often attack a villain even before Raymond does.

4- What can I NOT do with your character (Their skin is unbreakable, bullets bounce off, etc.)

Skin is darn near unbreakable. Even if weapons pierce his armor and skin his undominable will keeps him fighting and only stops to take a breather every once in a little while. When his amors are going bullets will ricochet off. His battle axe however is just a normal medieval axe and is breakable.

"I don't care what rank you are Sir, but you will refrain from calling me shorty. I mean no back sass General but I do believe that even in the American military soldiers are referred to at least by there last name, and seeing as I am of the British Royalty, you shall call me Lord Raymond as every other person of authority in this city has called me."

Lord Raymond is quick to be offended when someone forgets his position and cares very little if the General wants to say something about it or not.

"But as for your selection for whom I am to fight I will accept gladly," said Lord Raymond turning to Alan. "Lets begin shall we, Mended Ribs?"

Lord Raymond activated all his armors and rooted himself into the Earth which feeds him life.

"You may attempt first strike," said the rock encrusted Lord Raymond as he bowed to his opponent.
