UltraNova

Made a praetorian version of one of my villains, where in rpime universe his twin got the mutant powers in the praetorian one he did.

I'd like to see alterante animations for dark melee. Two really a more magic/tai chi style and a martial arts style one with kicks for smite or shadow punch, a charged hadoken style assassin's eclipse, a punch kick combo for shadow maul even?

I too edited my post to say to clarify the attack was at point blank range thus not undermining your superspeed, waiting now to see how the others reaction!

I still a bit confused on how my attack was clear for all to see? Alexia seems to understand it is a sneak attack,done from the power hide (which my character has prety much to the highest order in game and in RP) perhaps I didn't make that clear in my original post or do you have a VERY high perception? ( again not fully aware of ALL pious' powers as he exists as a multitude of toons?) Anyways I know its not that important to the story as a whole, I just felt as if my characters actions were being ignored. I will drop it if others feel I am pressing a issue that doesn't exist.

I normally don't do this as I feel its up to the characters to decide how they react to the stimulus we give them but I have one little gripe. Now absorbing the grenades attack I fully understand, and will expect Thunderar to write as his character is in power surge, but the daggers bit kinda confuses me because my character was in hide, performed the attack at extremely close range ( he was flipping over her as he did it) and I feel we should let Alexia Morgan decide how that goes, unless you change it slightly perhaps? While I don't know the full extent of pious' powers, military personal even advance ones like longbow etc would almost never see my character without some form of assistance.

There done! Not intending to fight, already discussed this with Thundarrer, so making my escape. Tenro only moves at about 55-60 miles per hour (he's kinda like capt, peak human potential) but he should be hidden, and is a master at hiding in plain sight. However, I'm all up for a chase or hunt if you will, even being caught as long as you realise it won't go past a local jail cell (think a mayham mission style jail lol)

The golden lightning flew at the shinobi, impacting him, bringing him to his knees in pain. So he would have his opponent believe. As the third and finally attack him, the image of the ninja began to slowly fade away. In truth Tenro was actually at the side of the hero, using his "flicker" techique to placate, hide and move into position. Pointing both swords at Storm as he charged up, he cockly asked, "Hey pal... what you looking at?" Just as he said that he noticed the presence of the other heroes arriving. 'Great, just what I need!This could get ugly.. ' he thought to himself.

Panicking he flipped backwards, releasing into the air several small orbs, mixing them once again with with the special dust he used before. Flipping once again high into the air with great speed, he littered the floor around Storm with caltrops and into the air threw more orbs although large than the rest in size. Hitting the ground, the first set exploded into large pillars of white smoke, as Tenro used these to slipped away. Always thinking ahead encase the heroes decided to follow , the large orbs finally dropped revealing that they were in fact highly explosive grenades, impacting all around Storm. Now one with the shadows, and nearly completely hidden Tenro ran in the direction of the injured winged swordwoman, releasing poison coated daggers as he flipped over her head at point blank range, continuing his escape. Hoping his perusers would tend tot he injured instead of following him, he quickly darted away, running at at very near superhuman speeds.

Typical blue side.. a stalker comes around and you all gang up on him just encase he AS's you huh?! Lol will write something shortly

Tenro's danger sense told him of the shift in his opponents aura all to late. While he knew he was compromise, he did not have the chance to avoid the attack complete at such close range, twisting his body as the jab struck his left bicep, however using this motion he thrust his Masemune sword into the man's leg. The pain for the electric jab was excruciating, forcing him out of hiding. The arm dropped, numb and useless from the assault, the short sword falling to the ground. Jumping back, he perform a numerous amount of pressure point strikes on himself in quick succession followed by small hand sign, and with that the arm began to move again. He now stood in front of his opponent, katana pointing at his face. 'Nice trick.. bet in only works in close proximity... can't believe he forced me to use that technique so soon it's gonna take some time to regain energy.. won't be using that again.' Focusing now on his opponent, he waited for him to make a move.

As the last of the whites of his eye disappeared, time seemed to stop for the shinobi. The X shaped lightning bolt stood in place, his opponent not far behind. The dark aura around his hand solidified into a samurai gauntlet of wicked design, matching in colour the aura that once surrounded him. The sword too changed becoming black and jagged. This new dark armour slowly crept up his arm making its way to his shoulder, however just as it reach his collar bone a new battle erupted in the young man's mind.

Deep within his subconscious a dark dungeon appeared. In its walls laid an ancient looking X shaped torture device, the metal chains shimmered as they caught the light off the torches that lit the walls. On this table lied Tenro, his hands and legs bound to the boards. Opening his eyes slowly, the light hurt them as if he'd not see any for sometime, he looked around the room, stopping at the mysterious figure in the corner responsible for this predicament. Sticking to the shadows and barely out of sight, the figure began to tempt the ninja. " I could kill him for you... I could destroy them all if you'd let me.. just give me some control! It would only be for a little while, then you could have your body back, good as new! Promise!" he said innocently enough. The shinobi only replied a simple no. Agitated he argued, "What's there to lose! I only offer you the power to defeat all obstacles in our path! Why must you constantly resist what is rightfully yours for the taking!?!? Hmm? Because of what some silly old man said to you? Some delusion that you can control me or make it on your own without me?!" The man's presence grew within the room, his form becoming more warped and twisted looking. "If you'd just listen to me then we wouldn't have .. this problem .. would we?" he said pointed to the shackled shinobi. "My power could be free for you to use whenever you want, all I ask is that you simplly satisfy my one little tiny, insignificant desire, and we could avoid all of these complications! You think I like doing this to you? You think I like forcing my will apon you? It breaks my heart to see you like this..." As he spoke a dagger formed out of the shadow and pierced Tenro in the stomach, twisting as it sunk in. The shinobi wailed in pain, coughing up blood in the process. "I don't want to have to hurt you, but I've got my needs. My hunger must be satisfied!" Another shadow dagger pierced Tenro in the shoulder. "Your .. price .. is too.. high..." Tenro responded, trying not to pass out from pain as a third dagger stabbed at him. "So stubborn, so stupid.." he said with a sigh, " have you not even figured out who I am yet?" Tenro didn't respond, only smiled. He looked the man in the eyes and said, "No... but I did some checking around, I learnt your name.. and more importantly ... how to.. suppress you..."

Back in the real world Tenro's hand slowly reached for for the white handled katana on his back. In his mind the man laughed back at him "You only know A name.. not mine.. and that thing won't be able to protect you forever.. neither will Bathory!" With that Tenro grabbed the brilliant white blade, a shock wave pulsing from his body as the dark armour disintegrated off of him. This new sword was vastly different from the last, traditional built and silver white, it almost seemed to glow. Closing his eye and reopening them, they were now clear of the blood red substance. Time slowly came back up to speed. Using the shorter sword, he impossibly cut through the first attack as if the lightning itself was solid. Passing by him on either side the shinobi raised the larger katana above him and in one stroke, his sword cut through his opponent, cleaving him in half from his shoulder to his waist, as the blade effortlessly cut through him...

((permission from Thunderrar to land the attack))

Sorry to anyone I might have kept "trapped" (thundarr I'm talking to you) I have a really bad sinus infection that was followed by a fever.. bad times. I'll write something today

The dark aura of the sword now completely engulfed the shinobi in it's dark navy hue. Seeing the attacking coming at him he choose not to move, or perhaps at this stage his berserker state would not let him, so committed to his attack he wouldn't move even if it meant death. The only visibly different was his right eye now began to bleed, as if a sign of the madness slowly taking over him. It creped slowly across it, moving towards the centre of his eye.

Taking the hit right in the stomach, the aura instinctual reinforced that area, absorbing most if not all of the damage. As he flew backwards, golden electricity still flying around him colliding into a building behind him,turning the wall into rubble as he smash through it, coming out the other side and impacting the building behind before descending to the ground with a CRASH! However, the young shinobi was not fazed, the attack doing no discernible damage to his body, the only different being the aura once surrounded and protected him was now only concentrated to his arm, as if blasted off him by the attack. Anger spread over him, speeding up the progress the blood like substance made on his eye. Wailing loudly, he begun once again waving the sword about madly, air blades firing randomly from his tips. Demolishing everything in there path, he released another and another and another, till the building around him were nothing but rocks at his feet, a few inadvertently flew towards the heroes and even his demon 'ally' before stopping and struck a pose waiting for the heroes advance just as the last of his eye was about to be completely covered....

He sould be able to "sense" her so to speak but i editted it as to not ruin anything, it wasn't really important anyways.

Kallandra hope I didn't step on your toes so to speak it would just be very much out of character for my character not to notice the movement above him because of one of his abilities :S

I play a DB/nin stalker, I prefer it over my katana at the mo, the AS seems fast and its nice to have a few more AoE/Cones seeing as I team alot
