The gritty former Liberty agent sat quietly at a table within Starbucks, enjoying a tall bitter black cafe americano. Fitting.

Marcus managed to purchase a new phone and got his contacts and number back in order. He mentally cursed Jennifer Donovan for upsetting so much that he neglected it in the process of using his powers.

The instance presented a flaw in his power use that he had shrugged off for far too long. If he was going to work alone, he needed to get a grip on how much heat he generated. He needed to do something he hadn't done in a long while.

Train.

Enya's eyes drew back to Lex as she felt his discomfort.

]"Listen, this is just as weird for me as it is for you… Well…" She actually thought about it for a moment. "Okay maybe it's a little worse on your end, but look you got me, the greatest flame sprite, Enya!" Enya landed on the edge of the coffin and performed a short bow. As great as she thought her gesture and greeting were, Lex still felt a bit uneasy, especially right now.

"What are you lookin' at?" Enya questioned as she noticed Lex looking past her.

"Her." He quickly answered while nodding towards the tall masked and cloaked woman who stole his attention. To say he wasn't a bit startled would be a lie. And he still didn't know what was going on or where he was. However, he tried not to show it. At most, he simply appeared cautious and alert.

Enya had peered over her shoulder seeing the Witch in the doorway. Her initial expression displayed fear. Like a child caught with their hand in the cookie jar. She decided to smile big. She had done something good after all. Right?

"You are the ninth." Her statement caused him to narrow his eyes as he tried to piece together the little bit of context he could gather. His worries managed to settle some when he was offered a hand by the white-masked stranger. There was just something about her that he couldn't quite place. Is this the witch?

"Seventh to awaken within this tower. You are not alone in having reincarnated here. Welcome to Aion. I trust you have some questions." And he had plenty.

Getting up, he faced the stranger, his eyes fixed on hers through the mask. He had already slightly digested some of what was going on, despite being in calm disbelief. So far he knew he was the seventh person to be reincarnated in this place that happened to be a tower. Not only that, he was in a completely different world known as Aion.

"Way too many if I'm going to be honest." Lex answered casually. As odd as everything was, would it be so bad to just go along with it. Best case, he was in an epic lucid dream. Worst case, he was really reincarnated into a world similar to many he had designed on the pages of comic books. The range of best and worst weren't all that bad, and the realization almost eased his mood a bit.

"I think the two best questions to ask would be, why was I 'awoken' here? And is there some kind of crisis I should know about?" He instinctively patted his pants pockets. A grin spread across his lips as he felt a single pack of cigarettes and a lighter too! "It's usually the deal in stories like this." Lex leaned heavily on his knowledge of literature... How could he not? He retrieved a cigarette and held it close to his lips. "Name's Lex by the way." He then lit the cigarette with his lighter. It would help him relax some more.

The Energy Storm, Superhuman RP

Hello 😁. Looking for additional players who are interested in a story about people suddenly acquiring powers after a massive energy storm. We aren't too far along and the plot is relatively easy to jump into. More details below.

Young Justice

Location: Communications Complex
Interactions: Squad 🐝

---

Of all the small exchanges that went on, Talon speaking up to take charge not only surprised him but drew all of Viktor's attention. Being assigned as the leader of Squad B caused a slight raise of his brows. Viktor personally felt he was the obvious choice, but he almost expected Talon to be petty and assign… someone other than himself. Viktor's eyes scanned over the members of his squad.

Brightheart. Gold Rush. Nymph. Hex. Their aliases were what he would use from now until the mission's end. They were who he'd have to coordinate a successful observe and report mission with. Almost what I might have chosen. Viktor gave his attention to Casper who approached with an idea. Coal too, who he almost did not consider initially.

"One moment, Hex… Squad B, gather around me and listen up!" As the squad gathered Viktor positioned himself in the center of them while typing into his cellphone now in hand. He initially didn't look up at the squad as his thumbs tapped away at his phone's touchscreen "We've received our orders from Batman and Talon regarding our mission. Observation is simple, but it is necessary so the others can be successful." If one were to look closely at Viktor, it could be noted that he was typing notes as he spoke.

"0400 hours in the mountains during the winter season. Dress accordingly. I will allow you to choose appropriate vantage based on your line of sight, but you will follow my instructions on how to conduct yourself… or if I find your choice… unwise." He looked up from his device and locked eyes with Casper. It would be rude not to address him first. Despite all of his abilities, Viktor still had to be a bit creative with the task he gave him. "It will be dark when we arrive, but it may not remain that way depending on the length of the mission. Coal can scout and our lower aerial sensor. If anything occurs, he can bring it to the closest person with comms. If you can task any other spirits to increase the number of eyes on the objective, do it… Oh and in the case of the sunrise, go prone and get behind something to minimize your profile." Viktor gave Casper a nod before his eyes set on Daphne next.

"Nymph, you are with me and will be the link of communication between myself and the infiltration squad. Our squad will communicate amongst ourselves and I will relay pertinent information to you for the other squad. Understood?" He didn't see Daphne having difficulty with this. Simply relaying information. Besides, he'd be right there beside her. Next was Aleen'a.

"Brightheart, you will be our eyes in the sky. You shouldn't have to go too high with the sky being dark. I recommend conserving as much energy as you can while up above. Remember we have Coal up close and you watching everything from up above." Viktor worried about Aleen'a's communication skills, but he felt he could decypher a lot what she said if he kept the context of her message in mind.

"Gold Rush. Use your AI drones, carefully, however. Hold off on the clones. I may need them if things go poorly. Be ready to fill someone else's role on my order." Viktor then sighed praying they all comprehended his introductions.

"Communicate, remain hidden, and don't die. It's simply just that. Pending any questions, go get prepared." Viktor's cold gaze met each of their faces. This was his responsibility and the other squad was Talon's.

Enya, a tiny flame sprite that had pledged herself to the Witch, found herself sitting on the inner sill of a stony window adjacent to the coffin room that she had dubbed the Room of Tombs. It had been turned into a makeshift office, but Office of Tombs just didn't hit the same way. It was the rhyme for sure.

With her casually kicking her legs and her head resting in her palms, Enya would fail at lying about being bored. She was not a warrior and her pyromancy was pretty at best. Sure, she could start a mean fire… a happy fire too but the time and effort it took was not something to brag about. And so she was not out fighting like the cool guys… and gals!

"I will give you an even greater flame!" Enya had promised the Witch when she had made her pledge while having so little to give. Why had she even said that? With such confidence too. A sigh escaped the sprite as she briefly shut her eyes as she thought of her future in the ranks of the Witch. Briefly, because her eyes suddenly shot open.

"IT'S HERE!" Enya's face displayed excitement as she jumped off of the sill and hovered in place. Her head swiveled back and forth, searching for what she was feeling until she watched both the Witch and the goblin she was meeting make a slow exit from the Room of Tombs.

[“Before we go, I want to make you a deal. If you can persuade even one nation to prepare for the coming apocalypse, I shall call off my invasion.”]

[“Ideally you’d end it now, before you weaken both sides beyond the point of recovery, but fine. I’ll do you one better. You want an empire that can hold off the Void, I’ll do it myself.”]

Ugh goblin speak is so gross sounding. Might as well shake a box of stones. She wince but couldn't help but notice herself being drawn to the room the two stepped out of.

[“I’ll show you the path you should’ve taken yourself.”]

And with that, the two of them strode out of the room, flanked by the alchemist, Patches, and a no doubt rather confused Melvin. Enya also took the moment as a chance to trespass into the office, taking advantage of the Witch and the goblin being the center of attention.

Upon flying into the office, she honestly didn't know what to look for. The greater flame was here, but what was it even? She simply felt it. Her wish. Her promise.

"Come on come on come on come on. Where is it? It's supposed to be in here! How hard is it to find a Greater flame? Hmm… OH! I feel it over here!" Enya flew to and hovered over an untouched coffin. "Oooh wait a sec! It's a re-"

Lex pushed open the coffin with a loud grunt and sat up. Confusion was painted on his face as he looked at his surroundings, but his eyes widened when his sights rested on Enya who stared back, perplexed.

"Uh…" He didn't know what to even say. To Lex, everything seemed real, but he figured this had to be a dream. Meanwhile, Enya cocked her head to the side.

"You're not…" She hovered around him, studying him. "You're just a human… I guess the Witch will want ya, but why do I feel like we've met? Have we met?'

Considering the circumstances, the sprite spoke much too fast. Lex blinked rapidly and even rubbed his eyes… and nothing. This was very real… so far anyway.

"I don't… I don't think so but wait. A witch? What is going on right now?"

"You… Honestly, I don't even know how it works, but you're in a new world now. Our world. This world. Aion. Probably the best world from what I hear. Anyway, I'm Enya and it is pretty cool to be the first one to meet you. Pretty cool for you too." She smiled big as she gave him her tiny hand to shake.

With an uneasy smile, he reached out with his right thumb and index finger considering Enya's size. The moment the two touched a bright light momentarily flashed on contact, causing both of them to wince. Once the flash vanished, the two locked eyes with Enya pointing at Lex.

"Did we just become…"

"Best friends?" He was just trying to follow the white rabbit to some semblance of reality. Why did he even say that?

"Ew no! Pacted… or Pact mates…Or… Anyway, we have a pact now!" She shouted excitedly while flying about before hovering in place with a pensive look on her face. "How do I know that? I've never pacted up before… Maybe it's like when you know you're hungry."

What the hell is going on right now?

Lex

Alexander,"Lex" Stone

Species: Human
Gender: Male
Maturity: 26
Origin: Earth
Possessions: His last pack of cigarettes and a butane lighter

Abilities: Flame Sprite Pact - Due to the circumstances of his summoning to the world of Aion, Lex and Enya, a desperate flame sprite have formed a "partnership" of sorts. Their partnership has formed a strong empathic link between the two allowing them to feel the presence of one another. For instance, if Enya traveled 3 miles west of Lex, he would be able to feel where she is, but it would be up to him to define the distance and direction based on an innate feeling. The two can also discern when they are feeling a strong emotion such as stress, pain, or even excitement.

Possession/"The Next Level" - Enya is able to possess Lex's body, allowing him to use pyromancy to a higher degree than even herself. During this possession, her physical body vanishes in sparks of red/orange. She then assimilates with Lex's being, transforming him into a fiery elemental form. In this form he can utilize pyromancy and create constructs of fire to wield as weapons in battle. Lex often gives way to his emotions as they seem to become more volatile in this state.

Enya

Description: Before being plunged into the fantasical world of Aion, Lex had played his part in a fantasical world of his own as fantasy comic book artist. Writing hadn't been his strong suit, but bringing someone's literature to life was a passion of his. There were the stressors, such as meeting tight deadlines and the expected critiques of his art style which made him lean on cigarette smoking.

It was a good life, but he always wanted something more. Perhaps if he could experience a magical world and the people in it like the ones he drew up. Interestingly enough, an idea struck him from out of nowhere. An idea for a character he wanted to sketch came to him. It was a bit random, but she was stuck in his mind. He had to draw her. It didn't have to be fancy. Just a pencil and paper. It was simply a fleeting thought, right? After so many carefully place lines and adequate shading… he had not finished. Instead, he called it a night and decided to get some sleep instead. He'd deal with woman tomorrow.

If only he knew the truth to that. When Lex awoke, he was no longer in his bed or Earth for that matter. Lex was in Aion, and he would meet the woman he had failed to sketch quite soon.

Long Live the King... 😬

Jaelhorn Dragan

Species: Human
Gender: Male
Maturity: Adult

Origin: Aion
Possessions: Royal Scepter of House Dragon - A powerful gold gem-covered artifact passed down Dragon bloodline and only usable by those within the very bloodline. The Scepter appears to be nothing more than an accessory, but the Scepter possesses the ability to amplify magical energies. Even someone less than a novice can conjure formidable spells with this weapon. Nowadays it is simply used to show off a priceless artifact to the plebians that get the chance to even lay eyes on it.
Abilities: Jaelhorn is ill-practiced in magecraft despite his heritage. His true power only being that of his authority over his empire. He knows a few basic spells for his convenience.

Description: The Hume Empire has never in its history had an Emperor of the likes of Jaelhorn Dragan. He is incompetence personified and had achieved his position only due to the blood in his veins alone. His early life had been that of riches and anything he desired, spoiling the child and eventually creating an unfit childish ruler. Second and third order of effects mattered not to him. As long as he felt safe in his position, all else could wither and perish under his rule. If a rebellion were to be birthed it would likely be under his rule due to the many mistakes and foolishness Jaelhorn bore.

But this would come to a halt when Emperor fainted while seated on his majestic throne during the horrid events the Witch had produced. His help and advisor ran to his side, hoping their emperor did not fall to illness or worse yet, assassination… well maybe only a few. With a gasp, Emperor Jaelhorn awoke, alive and healthy, yet without his own mind. Instead, the taker of his body was a young reincarnated intern who had lost his life too soon when a disgruntled worker came into the office with a gun. Damon, as he was once known by, was shot dead as he walked out of the elevator with hands full of coffee orders made by those he worked with.

Now he's… Wait where was he? And why were these people looking at him like they were? AND WAIT! Why was he fat?!

@Thinslayer I'll go for a Voidspawn possessed. He'll likely be a charming Neutral Evil type. Is Discord or Chatzy better for this group? I see you have both.

@FunnyGuy
When a demon possesses a person's body, the next step is to destroy it and cause as much havoc as possible in the process. When a Voidspawn possesses a body, they proceed to train with it in preparation for their future invasion.

@Thinslayer

Thanks for this information. It definitely changes the idea. I'll keep brainstorming 😁
