(Yay!)

LR: BWAHAHAHA! Now you are doomed, for I have foiled your plans. This victory is only the first step towards my world conquest!

GW: ...We're only playing Stratego, my lord.

LR: Yes and I am about to capture your flag!

GW: Sorry, my lord... that's a bomb.

LR: Curses! I just lost my admiral! No matter, I will still crush you with all my might!

GW: My move. *moves a piece to one of Recluses*

LR: *looks at the flag peice* ...

GW: Well? Show me what it is.

LR: WAIT! The heroes have taken Pillbox G! I must stop them at once!

GW: *sighs* Back to my ice cream and soap operas.

Also: Something ELSE Ghost Widow would never say.

GW: You know why I'm the most popluar member of Arachnos? I'm a sexy Russian spy who has a chic goth look. If Ms. Liberty were the same she'd be popular too, da?

Fallen Rock Star (Grav/Kin Controller): " 'Kill Skuls' makes a GREAT album name..."

Major Rin Kirajin (AK/Traps Corrupter): "Why do people think because I'm a cyborg I'm a homicidal killing machine. I mean, I am, but it's still presumptious."

Ash to Ashes (SS/Fire Brute): "As much as I hate the Carnival of Shadows for making me one of their strongmen and leaving me to die... I have to say they're still kinda hot."

Also, laser sights.

Pistols for the Corrupter/Blaster. Not that hard, just take some of the powers from the Thug MM set and slap a few more in.

Here's a base idea for a powerset:
Bullet- Similar to the 'Pistols' power from the Thug MM set
Double Tap- Standard 'More power, slower recharge' attack
Double Bullet- Like 'Dual Wield' power from Thug MM set
Aim- Standard 'Aim' power
Empty Clips- Like 'Empty Clips' power from Thug MM set
Crippling Shot- Slows target
Bullseye- Typical 'Sniper' power
Fish In A Barrel- Cone range version of Crippling Shot
Explosive Bullet- Ranged AoE(Fire) and Lethal

More to add:

Azaziel Kreiger- "Prepare For War" by DragonForce
Major Rin Kirajin- "Killing is my Buisness" by Megadeth
Death-Mask- "Torture Killer" by Six Feet Under

LR: Okay, okay, Mako, Truth or Dare?

Mako: ...Must I answer?

LR: Yes, or I'll destroy you. Truth or Dare?

Mako: ...Truth

LR: Are you one of the Street Sharks?

Mako: ...No.

*pause*

LR: ...Well?

Mako: *exasperated* Truth or Dare...

LR: Truth

Mako: What do I ask you?

LR: I don't know... something like "would you go out with Ghost Widow"?

Mako: ...Would you go out with Ghost Widow?

LR: I know she's dead... but I'd totally hit that.

Nice going so far. Don't worry about the events of history being changed. White Wolf has claimed everything important has been masterminded by vampires, werewolves, and mages for a while now.

Themes for other characters of mine:

Heroes

Blazing Gunn: "Fuer Frei!" by Rammstein
Fallen Rock Star: "I Wanna Rock" by Twisted Sister
British Samurai: "Stone Cold Crazy" by Queen

Villains

Faustus Geisteskrank: "Legions of the Dead" by Testament
Joey Sporgenza: "Battery" by Metallica

Black Scorpion: I always like kung-fu movies, with nunchucks and all...

Ghost Widow: I like samurai movies better myself.

LR: I got a brilliant idea for a weapon!

GW and BS: ???

LR: SWORD-CHUCKS, YO!

LR: Ghost Widow... I am your...

GW: Father?

LR: No... your MOTHER.

The Geisteskrank Family have been nobles and near-nobles for over a thousand years in Germany. However, this once rich bloodline has fallen, leaving one heir, Faustus Geisteskrank. Faustus, with his 'darling' coercing him, decided to recruit new members of his family in the way of the ancient clans. Those who prove themselves worthy of being part of the family will be rewarded with greater status.

Faustus' main goal is finding a 'cure' for his 'darling.' However he wishes to maintain his family's status, as well as teach young mages the subtle ways of the necromancer.

(RP-based VG, Faustus is low level. Family code and traditions to be discussed in some form later. Send PM if interested... Necromany and Dark-based characters with Magic origins best fit this group but all are welcome)

*A bunch of gang members are crowded inside a conclave in Atlas Park*

LR: Can you count, suckaaaas? I say the future is ours... if you can count.

*Climbs up to the top of a wooden platform, looking at the gang members*

Now look what we have here before us. We got the Outcasts sitting next to the Trolls. We got the Council right by the Knives of Artemis. Nobody is wasting nobody. That is a miracle. And miracles is the way things ought to be!

*Crowd cheers as LR reaches the top of the platform*

LR: You're standing with nine Bosses, from a hundred Villain Groups. And there's over a hundred more. Forty thousand counting Underlings, and another twenty thousand not in a Villan Group, but ready to fight.

LR: Sixty. Thousand. Villains. Now there aint but twenty thousand heroes in Paragon City. Can you dig it? Can you dig it? CAN YOU DIG IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT?

*everyone cheers*

LR: Now here's the sum total. One Villain Group can run Paragon City. One group. Nothing would move without us allowing it to happen. We tax the Taxi Services, the Icon stores, because we got the streets, suckaas. Can you dig iiiiiiiit?

*Cheers*

LR: The problem in the past is Longbow turning us against one another. We fight each other for ten square feet of ground. Our turf... our little piece of turf. That's <censored?> brothers. The turf is ours by right.

*Outcasts begin to pass a gun across their numbers, all the way to Frostfire*

All we need to do is keep up the general truce. We take over one City Zone at a time. Secure our territory. Secure OUR turf. Because it's aaaaaaaaaal our turf. CAN YOU DIG IIIIIIT?

*more cheers, then Frostfire shoots Lord Recluse*

I woke up in Chiron Hospital, people shouting, "She's coming too! Miss Avenger's alive!". I felt my mask was still on my face, and looked up at one of the nurses.

"What happened?" I asked her, and she replied that I was found by a Longbow field agent. I asked her about Black Talon, and I was answered by Indigo, a contact of mine, who I had just realized was sitting at bedside.

"He is... was... called Blood Talon since he moved to the Rogue Isles. We think he was knocked off the building all the way to sea level. He died on impact."

I nodded. "That's okay. The real Black Talon died months ago."

Indigo knew what I meant, and left me alone to recover.

I came home past midnight, to my empty, dark apartment. The mentor I looked up to dead, the woman of my dreams gone forever. I never felt so alone in my entire life.

Then I turned on the lights.

"Ellen," said the voice I never thought I'd hear again, "welcome home."

"Vanessa...I thought I told..."

"Yes, you told me to go somewhere safe. I can think of nowhere safer than in your arms."

I hugged her tighter than I ever had before. I knew it was going to be dangerous for the both of us, my fighting crime. But now, with Vanessa by my side, I never felt stronger in my entire life.

(FIN)

(Due to forum rules, I can't say. I'm already toeing the PG-13 line as it is.)

(PART 2!!!)

We charged at each other, and threw our best blows at each other. His strikes packed a lot of punch, but it wasn't just his natural strength...the electricity he controlled was behind it as well, and it sapped my strength as well. We battled hand to hand, and eventually he became a ball of electricity. His shock attacks made me feel pain that I never thought imaginable. I was certain I was going to die on that rooftop.

But I decided not to just lay down and let it happen. Thinking only of Vanessa, I threw one last desperate punch. I knew it landed, but how hard, I couldn't tell. I was so wracked by pain I only heard the sound of flesh hitting flesh.

And that's the last thing I remembered.

(What happened? How did Ellen survive? Find out in the LAST CHAPTER of this story!)

Dear Diary,

Warburg.

It's not part of Paragon, nor is it a Rogue Island. The Freedom Corps and Arachnos both vie for control of this island, which is overrun by a cell of rogue Arachnos.

Black Talon gave me a message via DJ Zero to meet him there. I took that message and went to the coordinates he specified... it's a tall building, probably 500 feet up and not a lot of rooftop keeping one from falling to their death. Sooner or later, he landed on the rooftop as well.

"Ellen," he said, "I'm glad you were smart enough to take me up on this offer. So, are you ready to give your life to the Council?"

I looked at him, and around the warzone surrounding us. I thought of Vanessa, and all the people I've saved.

"No" was my answer. "I don't know how you're still alive... and I don't know why you joined the Council. But I know that I can't go through with it."

"Then," replied Talon, "You must die."

(OMG TWO PARTER! CLIFFHANGERS FTW!)

(Wow... if it's this popular I may add another story arc...)

Dear Diary,
I've thought about Talon's proposal all day. I couldn't join him, because I'd be turning my back against the people who need me here in Paragon City. I can't refuse or the Council will hurt Vanessa.

Eventually I came up with a solution. It's not necessarily a good outcome, but it's the best I can come up with. I only hope it works.

I called Vanessa... I got her answering machine. She said she was doing a cover for Adjective magazine so I wasn't suprised.

"Vanessa, it's me, Ellen," I started, tears already welling up in my eyes. "I need to tell you something and I think it's best I tell you in this message. I'm a superhero... the BDSM Avenger.... I'm sorry I couldn't tell you this earlier but I needed to keep you safe, that's why I wanted you to stay in LA.... but now you're not even safe... remember Black Talon? Well he's not really dead, and I was his sidekick.... and he's a villian now. My options are to join him or he'll come after you. So here's what I want you to do babe. Leave LA right away. Go somewhere where you'll never be found, where nobody knows you. And please, for your sake, don't call me. I love you Vanessa... I love you so much I'd rather not hear your voice again than let you get into harm's way... goodbye."

I hung up and had to cry myself to sleep.

I know I'll miss her, but what choice did I have?




Will she hate me for this? Or will she understand?

I just wish there was another way...

(Nah, I got a laugh from that. You pass.)
