Don't forget, they made another new hero named Screentime. A meme loving superhero who got his powers from exposure to internet gas. He has the ability to basically be a smart phone.

Maybe the spoiler should have read
Next time.


I knew that it was a RWBY spoiler before I clicked it, but I did it anyway and I don't know why.

Duncan peered through a spyglass at a rickety building that sat precariously on the side of a cliff. If he hadn't seen several figures walking in this direction earlier before suddenly disappearing from site, he would have guessed the building to be empty. After all, who would ever risk take such a risk as to go in there? Now that he knew there were at least several people inside, it couldn't hurt to add another 200 or so pounds of bad ass assassin and gear. Folding up the Spyglass and attaching it to his belt, Duncan began to make his trek toward the Lonely Tavern.

Approaching the magic net that surrounded the tavern, Duncan stared at it with a raised eyebrow as his chin rested on his hand. Picking up a nearby pebble, he threw it at the barrier to see what would happen and watched as it passed safely through. Still, this was magic which is as unpredictable as it is powerful. Drawing his sword, the assassin poked the barrier only to find no change as well. Sheathing the sword, Duncan closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and walked through the net. It seemed he had been worried about nothing. Now, it was time to see what was going on in this desolate location.

The bow on his back almost scraping across the door frame as he walked inside the tavern, Duncan took in the other patrons. The first thing he noticed was the large, crystal golem that some summoner must have conjured up. Obviously, the assassin had completely misjudged the strength of this building's supports. As the boards creaked loudly with every several steps he took though, Duncan began to wonder if his original judgement had been correct. Sitting down at one of the bar stools, he used his peripheral vision to search for any prospective customers while he pretended to count his coins to purchase a drink. Duncan didn't need to count his money to know that if he wanted to rub two nickels together, he'd have to borrow one.

I've posted a character sheet, but I'll probably wait to post until tomorrow after class just so I can do a bit more reading and a lot less skimming. That way I'll have a general idea of where everyone is and what's going on.


Name: Duncan Ashwell

Bio:

Duncan is an assassin-for-hire who has successfully completed every job he's been hired to do. That may sound very impressive, until you hear that he's only done two jobs for the entire four years he's been an assassin, and one of those jobs was just helping an old street vendor move her produce from her home to her stall. Duncan had expected that, with how backstabbing and greedy nobles were, they'd be more than happy to pay for his services. Unfortunately, that didn't seem to be the case as they looked more for experience compared to skill and reliability. So he's moved away from the city and towards the countryside, hoping to find some peasant that's gotten sick and tired of his neighbor planting crops in the wrong field or anyone else that'd be willing to hire him.

Duncan is experienced with swords, daggers, bows, and poisons. He's had training in various fighting styles including those created to fight magic-users, large monsters like giants, and heavily armored opponents like knights. Duncan refuses to ever fight anyone or anything though unless he's paid to first, and he'll only accept the pay if he feels it's a fair price.
Important personal announcement. Sometime soon in the next few months I'm being called back into the service. If I fall off the face of the planet, this is the reason why. I'll try and keep in contact with you all.

Should something happen and another CoGM is needed. Anyone OTHER than @Lucius Cypher will be acceptable. That is all.


Alright, stay safe out there harine.
@Guess Who@Princeofhearts Where are we on that Colab?


Not very far to be honest. Only three paragraphs so far. Both of us have been been really busy lately.
