War on Praetoria[Open RP]
((OOC)):
I don't think you gave us enough information with this. We've all been to Portal Corp., so we have a pretty good mental image, but if we were to travel to Praetoria, we would need more information in the setting.
Another thing that I found was that you really didn't give us enough of your characters information. For example, how tall is he? What is his superhero outfit? Any extra details should we know of that we can't see in game? How does he speak? This and many more questions haven't been answered.
I figured I'll bring in a character later, but only if your serious enough to fix the lack of information.
I'm not that imaginative!

Edit: Speaking of imaginative, I remember when I made my first post here on the Roleplaying forums. I had JUST come from Runescape, so my writing was littered with terrible spelling mistakes. (Yours isn't... Or I think it isn't, anyway. )
I jumped right in to that thread.... Killed it withing two weeks! Everything I did wrong made me emo for hours at a time. Then I realized I just had to relax. And I did! ... 'Till work came. >_>
I fixed what i think needed to be
((OOC)): Eh, close enough

A young figure made its way in to the large room in which the hero, ShadowWings, stood. She posed there silently in a relaxed position, hands on the bar in front of her to keep her posture upright. She looked at the hero and the gathered scientists around him. Some walking around, sharing information and standing by at terminals to keep the portal stable.
Her eyes shifted to the portal
Inside she saw what seemed to be a devastated and desolate land. A familiar land, actually; but as to where still did not ring a bell. The black sky of the night only made it harder for her to focus on any real details the area may hold. Smoke rose and scattered in to the night, seamlessly blending in without a trace.
Every once and a while, the portal itself would obscure her vision, sparks of wandering electricity as it zoomed which way and that. Even an annoyingly persistent sound of the fired up portal made listening in to the below scientists conversations difficult. It was an obvious mistake to stand and watch idle by the young man as he seemed, at that moment, to be heading in alone
Which, seeing such was common among the area. Still, it wasnt in her style pass up an opportunity. The girl needed adventure, after all.
With an acrobatic leap, she was up and over the bar and spiraling to the floor below. Her metallic boots hit the labs floor with a resounding ring, only slightly louder then the portal itself.
The light of the portal held its reflection in the sheen of young heroins metallic armor, almost adding to the mystic and mystery she carried with and around her. Her head lifted and stared at the hero, her dark skin blending with her black hair, giving her a slight illusion of an afterimage as small strands still flew to catch up to the rest of her body.
She stood upright with a mischievous smile. Her young dark lips parted to speak...
Excuse me sir
Youre not going alone, are you?
The 21 took a step forward, swaying as she moved. Her intention was to get the mans eyes on her, and she was good at this. At least, most of the time
((OOC)): Short post, I know... ((/end OOC))
ShadowWing's eyes looked to her and he chuckled as his soft voice was heard,as his lips moved,"No i am not,i am waiting for others to join me on my war trip to Praetoria, in which we fight some of the toughest villans..." He looked right at her as he shifted,and he held out his hand and said,"The name is ShadowWings." He smiles, waiting for her to take the hand and shake it.
He knew he would need all the help he could get to down the Praetorians, especcially Tyrant. He began to think over a plan,while on the outside, still smiling and waiting for the gal to shake his hand, and hopefully not crush it, knowing the times he had his hand crushed by strong females.
Shadow,to the 21 year old female, had that commander look,while maintaining a sort of calm look, it almost seemed like he had been to Praetoria before,as he named it before. But only he knew the dangers, or to her,was hiding something from her.
The young heroin was a tad hesitant to shake the mans hand.
She reached slowly and grabbed it, but didnt shake. Being friendly is difficult at times
Such a time is this. Looking at a hero shed never met before, yet he seemed a bit too friendly compared to other first impressions she had with heroes she had met previous to this encounter. And so, she waited for man to start. At least, so she could follow. After all, she didnt want to smash a crippled hand, and get smashed for that matter.
So, this was all she could and would do, besides smile. She also didnt respond, letting the man continue while keeping her eyes focused without seeming disrespectful. She was all about pleasing people, after all
But she had to wonder, what made the man take notice of her?
Was it her walk? The entrance? Or was it just a normal response to her question? Answers to such questions tell much of a man, but this man was peculiar. It wasnt a feeling that he was being in any way dishonest, but just a feeling at the back of her mind, like that specific aroma among the others that made her wonder.
Oh, she was doing it again. She was dosing off into space in the middle of something important.
Bah, curse her attention span
Im Night Protector. Night or NP will do fine! She added before seeming forgetful.
((OOC)): Think it's just the two of us? >_> ((/end OOC))
[I hope not ._.]
Shadow smiled and said,"Nice to meet you Night, i guess i should explain more." His smile faded and he spoke now in a dead serious tone of voice,"I have made a call out to heroes wanting to assist me in a trip to Praetoria, home to Praetorians,the group lead by Tyrant, thing is, their the opposite of Freedom Phalanx, so it will be tough."
He paused for a second and then spoke,"Most likely we can injure,but not kill them, sadly,with just us..." He shrugged and looked to the portal, then back at her and said,"Know this,if i am captured,you are to escaped, their after me for my powers,they want to make me one of them for some odd reason." He then snapped his fingers and from his fingers,sparked electricity as he held up 5 little balls of it and said,"You arn't impressed, is my guess, but away from that matter, this is only a tiny itsy portion of my powers...at my true extent,i could short circuit half of Paragon." He let her take this all in

And she wasnt impressed. She had even already known of the Praetorians, though she didnt want to say it out loud. She had heard it all before...
Im omni powerful! I can fight a volcano!!
But it wasnt her place to judge, she just reveled in the fact the man was enjoying himself, and at least had the decency to say what he wished.
Thats good information to know. I can no doubt say Im safe with you! She said sarcastically in an attempt to lighten the mood in the room. She finished the handshake and smiled politely. "So... What will we be trying to accomplish?"
((OOC: Hey everyone! This is my mighty return to the CoH forums. I might be a tad bit rusty
but I am writing on Word, so I should be fine.))
A petite figure stood on the metallic floor, looking below where two heroes chatted about something. Her eyes reallocated to the immense portal in front of the heroes. A depressing, isolated land was in her sight. Fires and smoke covered the land with an eerie feeling. Was this the place shed be going to? That is all the drifted around her mind at this time. Relaxing on a computer screen, Abbey snapped out of her daze and walked towards the heroes and the scientists.
Hello everyone, my name is Natures Girl. She said to prep up the mood the two looked like they were in.
In her mind a thought loomed around.
Is this what I think this is? Are we going in there
What are we going to face?
((OCC: Sorry it is so short >.< Don't worry...In the future posts will be longer. I have to do some work on my computer and I wanted to make sure this didn't get deleted. ))
((OOC)): Well, this thread died quickly.
Hold on, I'm going to make a post in my free time.
Night lifted her hand up to her chest as Natures Girl made her way to them. She looked over the heroin and forced a quick grin.
Good evening. She said quickly with her soft voice. I go by Night; the name, not the time of day.
She stuck her hand out for a hand shake, smiling, seeming as friendly as she could to this new hero.
The full name is Night Protector. Cheesy, I know, but I couldnt think of any other variations to make Protector of the Night sound pleasing. Thoughts raced through her mind, going through a check list
Making sure she wasnt doing anything incorrectly as she introduced herself.
The man to my left is ShadowWings. Catchy, isnt it? She bit her lip after the last part.
First rule of teaming, dont make any stupid jokes
She thought, and continued to role others rules in the back of her mind to make sure she was as presentable as she wanted to be.
Still, it was nice to be talking to other heroes. Most of such heroes shrugged her off, or bluntly rejected her. It made getting a nice, long lasting team impossible, let alone trying to hold a conversation.
Hopefully she can have as much fun as she used to. These days, it seems there was nothing to do, or that there were too many heroes doing her job or taking her place, or making news of her finally reaching Security Level Fifty almost as meaningless as getting the Top Dawg badge. Maybe this will be her day.
She was already getting giddy

((OOC)): This post is making me somewhat self-conscious. I'm just not sure why.
[I will explain after i do my IC]
A figure was in one of the many portal rooms of Portal Corp. The figure had a barbaric white mane,his eyes concealed by glasses, and his lips curved into a smile, scientists were moving about,getting things done. He spoke,"Good work, is the portal set for Praetoria?"
One of the scientists spoke,"Yes it is,sir." the man nodded and said,"Good, now we wait for the large team i had assembled,lets hope they come on time..for Tyrant is one hard man...and won't be easy." It was ShadowWings, a famed hero and commander of the millitary. He was waiting for his team to arrive so they could launch a war against the Praetorians, wiping them out. He turned twords where the heroes would be and just waited,for some to come that instant. He shifted and remembered his first trip to Praetoria and its wasteland setting.
It was Galaxy City or so it looked,with fallen statues, the place was dark and smokey,he had encountered Malaise and Infernal first and his team had to hurry in taking them down before the other Praetorians could arrive. ShadowWing's form had been some sort of black and gold spandex, with headbanded wings. But during his time there,his eyes had lit with fire,his whole suit going black and wings of a dragon spurting. He gained chaings and spiked shoulders. His clothing was marked with golden tribal markings
He had escaped when he was pushed into the portal by his old friend,and he changed forever, of course his speech and his tone was soft,but when angry it got cold,harsh,and so mean,it made Tyrant shiver.
[[Okay,this is what happening,as i said, Shadow has a team of people coming with him to battle the Praetorians, you can either be a hero coming along or a Praetorian villan waiting for the incoming threat of ShadowWing's crew.]]
