Marvel REBORN (ALWAYS OPEN!)

@Divine Darkness
I'll say it's a College Prep school. And they live right across the bridge from Sutton Place.

@Grec

So the school is in Queens, and it has dorms, yeah?

Marvel REBORN (ALWAYS OPEN!)

Oh yeah, I assumed it must have been a copy/paste job. Even still, it musta taking a while.

@BlackSam3091

Especially with as many times I edited each paragraph...

Marvel REBORN (ALWAYS OPEN!)

The gradient color I used was copy and paste. I sure as hell am not gonna type all of that out!
Ain't it purty!

@Grec@The Kid Lantern
Originally I was gonna have Aimi attend Eleanor Roosevelt High School. It's a bit of drive but not too far.

Brooklyn and Sutton Place aren't all that close together so if our characters are going to the same school maybe there should be something special about Beacon. Maybe it puts a focus on college bound classes, or it's a Christian school, or it has certain classes and/or sports not offered by other schools in the area, or something else? Should it have on campus dorms?

Marvel REBORN (ALWAYS OPEN!)

Anybody seen the Cloak and Dagger trailer?

Marvel REBORN (ALWAYS OPEN!)

OK. First post is FINALLY up.
Like I said, it isn't work of art, but it's up nevertheless. So the plan is to do some flashbacks that lead up to her mother's death as I work through my first story arc.

Aimi and her friend, Daniel, are just entering the same cafe as Darkhawk, Thing, Inhuman Torch (?), and the Scarlet Witch are now.

@Divine Darkness Want our characters to attend the same school so we can have some school adventures?

@Grec

Did you wanna come up with the name of the school?

"When a crime goes unpunished, the world is unbalanced.
When a wrong is unavenged, the heavens look down on us in shame."

A quote from a mediocre film yet there is truth to it all the same.

My father, Dr Takeshi Abe, is seated beside me. He is a handsome Japanese man with short black hair and graying stumble over his lip and upon his chin. He sits with his head bowed, his left hand holding on to my hand with a firm, and occasionally trembling grip. He is staring unblinking straight ahead, and it is difficult to tell if he is actually listening to the man speaking before us or if he is in his own world. His parents sit to his right. They quietly sit with their heads bowed in respect. To my left my other grandparents are seated, Papa and Nana Madison. Nana is holding my left hand as Papa hands her a handkerchief to wipe her tears and running nose. And, that seventeen year old girl sitting there in the center with tears flowing down her cheeks, short dark hair half curling toward her long slender neck, unable to lift her brown eyes to look anyone in the face.... that's me.

My name is Aimi Abe. Despite my very Japanese name I was born here in the United States as my parents were before me. When I was a child I became very sick. My father who is a very accomplished neurologist and his colleagues were at a lost as to what was causing my body to slowly deteriorate. That is until a young medical student by the name of Gerald Drew introduced himself. It just so happened he knew of an experimental treatment that could possibly save my life. And, it did. It took some time, but after a while I was a completely healthy and extremely active girl. Though I am still very much hearing impaired it is a small price to pay to have an otherwise normal kind of life.

Lately however something has changed. I'm different now. At first it was chalked up to conditioning after being a part of the school's basketball team for the last few years. But, now I don't know. I run so fast now. My jumping ability is crazy. I mean, not only did I dunk a ball during the last game, I nearly jumped over the net! I was in for the whole game and never got winded. And, two nights ago, I broke my bathroom sink. I was so upset that I hit the sink with both fists and the porcelain broke in half!

My mother, Tamara Madison Abe, was a beautiful Caucasian woman. A natural brunette with creamy white that was oh so soft, and full pink lips that gave the most loving kisses. She graduated from the American University School of Communication with a journalism degree. When I was about three years old, my family moved to New York. As my father's career as a neurologist took off, my mother began her journalist career reporting for the local television news. Later, she would write for the New York Times, and just last year she wrote a very successful book. Now, five steps from where my family and I sit is the midnight blue steel casket in which lies my mother.

And, it's all my fault.

Present Day.
Minutes After the Atlantean Attack.

As soon as Daniel Lee learned of the Atlantean attack he had to go the the battle site. Like his mother, Danika Hart, he was quite the snoop. And just like his father, Ganke, he was huge on superheroes. And, the boy just knew that superheroes would show up to save the day. He was right. (Un)Fortunately for Daniel, he had missed the entire fight. Of course, since she was unable to talk him out of going Aimi had to come with him to keep the boy out of trouble.

"That's gotta be Darkhawk!" he told Aimi, his wide eyes glued to the online footage of the battle. Aimi quickly opened the door to the cafe so her none observant friend would not smack into it. "Not sure who these other guys are. Footage is too blurry and shaky. That could be the Thing, but... I dunno."

Except for the small group at the counter, the cafe they had entered was basically a ghost town. To Aimi it made obvious sense being so close to the battlefield. NYPD had already set barricades blocking off the damaged parts of the city. Another disappointment as far as Daniel was concerned. Grabbing him by the sleeve, Aimi carefully guided her buddy to the line at the counter, and stopped him before he ran into one of the customers ahead of them. She hoped a good slice of apple pie would make the boy feel better... and shut him up for a few minutes.

Marvel REBORN (ALWAYS OPEN!)

Wait a minute.
Doesn't your character live in Queens??

@Divine Darkness

Ah, cool then. Might I ask if your first post will be an interaction with the main teenage group right now?

@Grec

Not sure.
Right now she is attending a funeral. Will probably have some reaction to the Atlantis attack though.

Marvel REBORN (ALWAYS OPEN!)

@BlackSam3091 I do, it is a character I used quite a time ago in an a now closed RP pertaining to Arkham Asylum. I was really interested in reinventing him and bringing him into the future for way lack of better terminology xD. Is there anything I should specifically know pertaining to villains or mechanics involving said characters for the roleplay?

@Sergei Romanov

Also, you may or may not have to make adjustments to have your character fit in the Marvel Universe since they were created originally created for a DCU.

@Divine Darkness Want our characters to attend the same school so we can have some school adventures?

@Grec

You're welcome to that if you wish, I wouldn't mind at all =)
But, you see how long it's taking me to get just one post up. So replies could be extremely slow coming.

Marvel REBORN (ALWAYS OPEN!)

I am so behind.... *pouts*

EDIT - Will most definitely post tomorrow as it has gotten to late here. I do have a couple of paragraphs written, but posting it as is would make it look unfinished which it is. Much (possibly all) of the post will be in first person from the mind of Aimi. I'm attempting to write it in a first person narrative similar to what you might read in a comic book or like at the beginning/end of the CW Arrowverse shows.

Also, Aimi and her immediate family live in Sutton Place which is a pretty wealthy section of Manhattan. Even though there are a few near by private schools, Aimi attends a public school not far from home.

Marvel REBORN (ALWAYS OPEN!)

@The Kid Lantern My apologies. I keep getting held up by one thing or another.

Working on my first post now. Won't be a work of art, but it'll be a post nevertheless.

Not sure that I will, but if I do have Aimi join in the Atlantean fight can you tell me where the Atlanteans are attacking from? Are they hitting all of New York's coast? Or just a section of it?
