Maybe Joseph should have been listening to this before the bank robbers walked in:

The City of Masks (Watchmen-inspired RP)

In the city of Ankora, a woman screams. It's a common sound for most citizens of the corrupted metropolitan to hear, many women are targeted by the scum of the Earth, expecting most to be an easy mark. After the cry comes a quieter but just as disturbing sound of tearing fabric as five men begin to pull at their victim's clothing. In most cases, this would be followed by sobbing, grunting, sexual moaning, and finally the escape of a woman's last breath.

Not tonight though. Not as long as good men are willing to do what's right.

On the opposite side of the alley, a single figure stood wrapped in shadow. "Let the girl go," he told her attackers, standing firm. His posture clearly showed that he was ready for a fight with fists clenched in front of him.

"And do what? Fuck you instead? Sorry buddy, but I don't swing that way. My friend Billy here doesn't really care whose hole he's plugging with his-" the leader of the rapists began before being cut off by a sudden impact to the head. Whoever was standing the criminals down had thrown some sort of short, wooden stick at him and sent him to the ground in pain. Rising off the hard pavement, he looked back at the stranger with a rage-filled glare. "Alright, now we're going to put you in the ground asshat."

The five men charged at him with switchblades, lead pipes, and broken bottles, but still the figure stood unmoving and unafraid. Until they were only a couple feet in front of him. Suddenly another one of those short, wooden sticks appeared in one of his hands and blocked one of the incoming blows.

Another assailant stabbed forward with a broken beer bottle, only for his arm to be grabbed and his body pulled closer to the hero. A quick strike to the leg and the back of the head and he was down for the count. Only four remain.

Next, the the largest of the group, who also was wielding the pipe, tried to make a swing at the stranger's rib cage. The weapon never made it to its target though as its user left his vital points wide open. "A man can't breathe, he can't fight." Thank you 80s martial arts films. A lightning fast chop to the neck and the man was on his knees gasping for breath before a knee to the nose knocked him out cold. Three.

His next opponent would be no where near as much trouble though as the thug threw a punch, leaving the hero a chance to flip him over his back and eat the concrete ground. Two.

Turning to his last opponents though, he found both running away to the chainlink fence that cut through the dark alley. "Oh no you don't. You're not getting off that easy," the man said before finally stepping out of the shadows and into the light, revealing his blue uniform. The Blue Eagle sprinted toward the last of the perpetrators, grabbing them both by the collar of their shirts and slamming them into either brick wall. And that's the last of them.

Walking toward the woman he had just saved from being raped, he held out a friendly hand to help her up. "It's alright, miss. You're safe now," he said to reassure and comfort her.

Instead of any sign of appreciation or thanks that one would normally expect to see from someone in her position though, Victor was met with a can full of pepper spray to the eyes, the only thing keeping him from going blind being the goggles on his mask. "Keep away from me, freak!" she shouted while running off into the street, leaving Blue Eagle alone with the men he had beaten up. "How typical."

I think we should add a relationship tab to our respective sheets. I imagine since most, if not all, of the vigilantes at least know of one another, it would be curious to see what they feel about each of them. Perhaps they worked together, perhaps they don't like each other. Just food for thought.

@FantasyChic

That idea actually isn't half-bad.

You KRAYve credits?

Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

"I'm sorry~!"

My favorite times in PvP for Dark Souls 3 [PC] are when people stand there buffing for a good solid minute, stacking every buff in the book.


Only for me to one-shot them with a Crystal Soul Spear to the face. 10 seconds later.

@harinezumikouken

I like to play the tank and put everything into health pretty much, so these are my favorite moments in Dark Souls:



Also no objections from me if you take the next contest, Kaithas.

The City of Masks (Watchmen-inspired RP)

Blue Eagle

Name: Victor Valentine (formerly Victor Valentinovich)

Age: 24

Gender: Male

Appearance:


Height: 6'1
Weight: 180

Bio:

Victor was born and raised in the city of Ankora, though his parents weren't. No, his ancestry comes from Russia, though his mother and father took great expenses to hide that. Aleksei and Katya Valentinovich had their names changed as soon as they arrived in America, fearing prejudice from their future neighbors due to the high tensions of the Cold War. Victor always wondered why it was they risked so much, just to live in constant anxiety and fear of discovery but they refused to tell.

After graduating from college, Victor immediately married his high school sweetheart, Chloe O'Sullivan, and began raising their two kids, Wesley and Cynthia who they had conceived in high school, together while starting his job as a rookie cop. After only a few months on the force though, he realized just how much red tape there was that kept him from being able to protect people as much as he believed he could. It wasn't long before he became so fed up with it that he began to go out at night and purposefully put himself in dangerous situations just to beat up criminals.

After seeing many other people begin doing the same thing around the world, but dressing up in colorful and eye-catching costumes, Victor decided to join in on the craze and created his own. Using the blue from his police uniform and the national bird of his adopted country, he created the identity of the Blue Eagle.

This went on for a couple years until the The Vigilance Accord changed everything. Suddenly, the Blue Eagle and everyone like him had gone from hero to outlaw. Things would only get worse though when, two weeks after its passing, Chloe discovered her husband's secret hobby. Their marriage had been on the rocks for some time but this was the final straw. The divorce was quick and clean, with her taking the kids back to her home country of Ireland. Victor still messages them every week, even though he never gets a response back.

Personality:

"Maybe someday the world will no longer need heroes to keep the people safe from those who would do them harm. Maybe someday I can proudly turn myself in for the laws I have broken while attempting to keep the peace. Today is not that day though, and I won't stop until it comes."

Victor knows that what he's doing is wrong and that he deserves to be in prison for vigilantism, aggravated assault, etc. but feels that he will do that only when the city of Ankora is safe. He is still very friendly with people, especially with those that are other heroes or people he is attempting to save. Even criminals he does his best to treat fairly. The man feels that all life is sacred and precious and, while he won't hesitate to pull the trigger if the need arrives, he uses lethal force only when there's no other option.

Vigilante Name: Blue Eagle

Costume:



Abilities/Skills: Has experience in hand-to-hand combat due to police training

Equipment: Two batons

Alignment: Lawful Good

Reputation: Before the accord he was a widely celebrated hero, especially due to his unyielding sense of justice and record of preventing any further deaths once he arrived to help. After the accords though, he became vilified for refusing to retire or work for the government, claiming that doing so would undermine the whole reason he had become a vigilante.

Accord Compliance: Disagrees with the accord and continues to bring vigilante justice to the streets of Ankora.

Soon as I finish my characters.

In other news, everyone who I've said their character was good can go ahead and toss them in the char tab.

I REPEAT. IF I HAVE SAID YOUR CHARACTER WAS GOOD AND THEY ARE FINISHED, TOSS THEM INTO THE CHAR TAB.

@Nevix

Cool, I was just thinking of asking when we should do that.

The City of Masks (Watchmen-inspired RP)

Yeah, he's still a cop when in his secret identity @knighthawk.

The City of Masks (Watchmen-inspired RP)

Holy cow did I put way more detail into this character than I thought I would. This is probably the most effort I've put into a CS before.

Watchmen-inspired Vigilante RP (WIP)

Been going back and forth on whether to express interest or not just because of school, work, other RPs, etc. So I just wanted to say that I'll keep my eye on this.
