M'Rayl lead Volray to the medbay door, only getting lost twice on the way there thanks to the medbay being in a pretty easy to find location on the holographic maps located a various points about the ship. She stopped at the door rather than go inside for fear of that strange person who was their lead physician and what he might do to her once she was in his grasp. She knew that she had to go in there for her checkup at some point in the coming days, but she'd be able to put it off for now while he took care of all of the emergency situations from the battle.
"After you're all healed up, I'd suggest meeting with the captain or something. You have nothing to check into on the computer due to not being a crewmember, but I'm sure he doesn't want random people wandering about his ship," she explained. "Hmm...maybe you could even register as an official crewmember? But of course it's up to you," She suggested.
She flinched when the physician's said that her doom was fast approaching.

"I feel like trusting you," the AI replied, "because you amuse me enough. Perhaps you can be a pet organic who will do my bidding? I suppose I'll let you see my true body in exchange. System Core Room B, the door that I shall unlock for you found behind the main ship's computer. I'm actually directly wired into the computer through the back of my skull right now, so...yeah...please don't touch anything unless you know what you're doing...or...just don't touch anything you're not supposed to...at all."
Her tone of voice hinted that she suspected he might try something inappropriate.
"Of course if you get lost, if you have an electronic map of the ship on your person I can highlight the room and appropriate path. "Safety first."
If he presented such a map to her she would do as she said. Either way she would end the conversation with, "You may call me ANI, by the way," and went silent to focus on other matters.
********************
The two of them, the korrvain and the glaizart, indeed managed to catch Ahn before he retired to his quarters to get to business. He regarded the situation for a bit before crouching down a tad to get to eye level with the boy named Alexis.
"As punishment for your crime of trespassing and stealing some sandwiches..." he began, almost sounding foreboding, but then he suddenly turned light hearted again as he finished his sentence, "you can pay it off by serving on this ship for the day. Of course once you have the job you can remain on the ship for additional time if you so choose."
That reminded him that there were a few other civilians on the ship. He informed an aid to contact them and deliver similar offers of jobs and then made his way to his room, the door swishing behind him.
> > His powers could work as an over the top parody version.
>
> What, making costumes of the characters he beat? =P
Well, his normal suit making skills are out of the question, so yeah, something on that order. :D
I think he's working on the thing in the pad to be posted in one go once the episode starts.
> Okay, who wants to be medically examined first?
It would probably be the nurse so then she can get to business afterwards helping you. If she doesn't want too though I could always volunteer.
EDIT: YES! Finally fixed the weird problem on the Andorr page where it's always in italics! It turns out that you have to only highlight the words in italics to be able to undue them. I was trying to change the entire paragraph to normal but there were a couple words already normal that stopped me. Don't know how some of the paragraph turned italics in the first place but at least that's settled. I can go to bed at peace.
Name: Alexander Hertz
Age: 20
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Alliance: Highbell
Appearance:
His face is shown below (Not my drawing, I'll draw him later). He wears a black and yellow colored leather jacket, ripped jeans, and black velcro strap tennis shoes.
Personality: Loud, confident, and a showoff. However, deep down he can actually be somewhat of a scaredy-cat so he sometimes has to psych himself out and pretend to be an awesome hero in order to stop himself from running away or otherwise making a fool of himself. He's a kind person, especially to those in need, so he's able to at least work up the courage to go through with things. He tends to be oblivious and scatterbrained so prefers things to be upfront.
Powers: He's famous for his blue lightning power which can form off of his body. It's electricity that can maintain a physical form such as a sword that can block not only physical attacks but also immaterial things like fire. It's durability is greater than steel so would take considerable force to break through. If his blue lightning leaves his body then he has to concentrate on it to keep it's presence, so is unable to send out too much at once or else he'll looses track of things and causes it to dissipate. His personality doesn't help him in this regard. Under his control he can make it take any shape and travel anywhere but it's limited to speeds of only 88 miles per hour, a far cry from real lightning. His power can act like normal electricity upon dispersal, removing all special properties from it. He can use this to power electrical equipment.
He can generate enough blue lightning as the surface area of his skin every second and, other than this, is only limited in the amount that he could create by how much energy he has left, getting tired the more blue lightning he creates. Once he creates enough to fill an Olympic sized swimming pool then he's going to be completely exhausted.
He doesn't only have to sent the blue lightning outward but can also have it course through his body to empower his physical abilities to superhuman levels. Originally thought to be no stronger or faster than a normal human, once his power activates he can nearly match the fastest in speed and at least put up a decent fight in terms of brute strength. However, this causes more discomfort the more he pushes his limits and can even end up damaging himself after being at max for more than 5 minutes, drastically reducing his combat capabilities for a good couple of hours, only returning completely to normal after a good night's rest and some food.
Equipment: His most famous equipment is a electric powered [motorcycle](http://digital-art-gallery.com/oid/48/1600x1065_9405_Superbike_2d_automotive_bike_futuristic_picture_image_digital_art.jpg).
In a compartment on each side of the motorcycle is an [MP9 machine pistol](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Br%C3%BCgger_%26_Thomet_MP9) with three 30 round magazines.

[Here's the OOC](http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/75570/posts/ooc#post-2337643)
**Setting**
The planet of Alternative Earth 12, year 2035. It's like our earth but in an alternate reality where magic exists and the level of technology has advanced enough to create androids, cyborgs, genetic manipulation to give animals human-like intelligence (called anthromals), and also a race of humans with animal ears and tails (called humals). Oh, and angels and demons have physical, mortal bodies and are currently roaming the earth doing what they do best, interfering with Earthly affairs. And one last thing; aliens do exist and they may be out to get us.
**The all important All-Life Achiever **
The crowning achievement of the human race is known as the All-Life Achiever, a massive device that has an artificial island built around it. It's able to generate a magical barrier of invincibility onto any subject it desires within the confines of the island, which can include by default every last living thing there. It doesn't provide any actual defensive properties besides the following three things.
1. It dulls pain to bearable levels. Getting bashed with a hammer is like stubbing your toe. Minor wounds still hurt like normal, only getting reduced pain for the more harmful attacks.
2. It doesn't allow disfigurement. If someone cuts through your arm, for example, the wound would just glow/sparkle brightly and leave the arm intact with the rest of your body (although limp). The same goes for things such as stabbing someone, the wound just glows and sparkles while causing no actual long lasting damage. Once the glowy sparkles disappear they reveal the damaged body part as good as new within 24 hours for the most severe of injuries, the paper cut sized wounds restored within minutes.
3. It doesn't allow people to die from battle damage. It only knocks them unconscious from would be death blows for around 24 hours. Even if it's not an attack that would kill them as a result of a physical strike, it can still protect against any form of battle death. For example, if you get strangled then the sparkly energy fills your lungs and keep you alive, only passed out as per normal death blow rules. It doesn't protect against things like cancer, old age, etc, so people can't just travel to the island to gain immortality from natural causes.
**Backstory**
A certain group on alternative earth 12 has detected an incoming alien force that will arrive in time to start an invasion by next year, gaining such knowledge 99 years ago. They barely fought off only 58 aliens five hundred years ago and some of them even managed to escape and go into hiding, appearing to look like normal humans.
They knew that they would be no match for a large scale invasion in their current state so needed a new breed of heroes to combat this threat. This spurred into motion a secret program called Operation Super Combative. They first genetically combined animal and human dna to create the andromals and humals. Although they were powerful, they needed more help. Then came the super enhanced humans, called SE sometimes but most of the time are just known as humans and regarded as such, the existence of super powers considered just a part of being human. They were created through serums gained from alien blood, which effected people in different ways both from the alien who's blood was taken and the human in question, who is inserted with the serum while still a baby in order for it to bond with them and take maximum effect. Babies determined to be able to bond the most due to genetic testing are a hot commodity. Due to males and females having equal chance, dependent only on the individual, they are both equally represented in this secret program.
The program has been in effect for most of the 100 year preparation time, although most of the people who have seen the most success happened around 18 years ago, making most of the useful SE around that age or lower, although some exceptions to the rule exist in some older individuals who either got lucky or just very good at bonding with the serum on their own accord even with a worse off technique implementing the procedure.
As part of a training program, that's where All-Life Achiever came into play, allowing those involved in Operation Super Combative to fight their hearts out against other powerful threats and not die, all secretly in preparation for the alien menace. The creator of the island, known only as The Creator, hands out invitations to live on the island to such people or other useful individuals who might not need super powers. A constant state of combat was encouraged by keeping the different groups of inhabitants fractured under many different small governments that the inhabitants themselves had to instate. They fought over territory, which he allowed them to do under certain rules of war.
The Creator handed out flags to each recognized group on the island. To become recognized they need to have at least 20 people and established territory. The war then became like capture the flag, a group's territory taken by whoever managed to capture that group's flag and bring it to their home base that stores the flag. The Creator wishes to see if a group will be strong enough to overcome all others and take complete control over the island, in which case they'd likely be able to overcome even the alien threat.
The most important of the Creator's rules are as follows:
1. No tampering or otherwise taking advantage of down time in the All-Life Achiever. This can only be done by approved individuals for approved situations such as removing the effect on animals to hunt.
2. You may not torture. Even if severe pain is impossible, smaller pain over long periods of time or mental trauma can still easily be counted as torture.
3. You may not specifically target buildings or people not involved in the conflict. If enemy combatants enter a building then it becomes a valid target. Military buildings can always be targeted even if unoccupied. Damage unjustly done must be paid by the offending group.
4. You must wear a reasonably visible combat insignia on your person to participate in combat. However, you can always defend yourself.
5. No detaining of individuals of other groups for longer than a week unless they have committed a crime deemed worthy of longer imprisonment. They are protected under the rules of war, so if they abide by them they cannot be counted as criminals for combat activity.
6. If your flag is stolen you can fight as rebels but do not officially own the territory you once held any more until the flag is returned.
7. You may willingly give your flag to another group.
8. The Creator can declare a flag invalid, allowing their territory to be taken by other groups how they see fit. This is done if the group as a whole has done something worthy of such punishment.
9. You can leave the island at any time if desired, in which case must be let go unless you committed a serious offense. You cannot return to the island, however.
10. If you gain complete control of the island you will gain a great prize by the Creator.
**Groups**
The following are major groups on the island, but far from the only ones. Think of the larger ones like countries with their own systems of government in place. You can make your own factions for approval.
Highbell- A generic main hero kingdom that allows all manner of people as citizens and treats them fairly. Although mostly human due to relatively more humans around, they have around as many as 20% made up of those of other races, including androids. They have a healthy balance of technology, magic, etc.
Vurtan Empire - A stereotypical bad guy place. The humans are better off than the other races who are treated more like manual labor.
Demonia - A land of demons. Relies more on magic than technology.
Angiles - A land of angels. Relies more on magic than technology.
Whiel Cattan - The animal kingdom (pun intended) made up mostly of anthromals and followed by humals. They do allow some of other races as well but not a lot. They rely more on brute strength than technology.
Technatus - An android ruled state where they all vote electronically together on issues, based on the good of the collective. They allow outsiders in who follow their rules.
**Battle System**
The most physically powerful individuals (of any race) can jump as high as buildings, move in the blink of an eye, and punch through steel walls. We don't need to get into high levels of detail on exact level of powers, we'll just agree who's faster, stronger, etc. and by around how much (like a lot faster, a little bit stronger, etc.) and fit that into how the battle goes without stressing too much about it. Some people are only around normal human abilities all the way up to this most powerful examples, leaving a wide gap of power between canon fodder and the elite. Our characters can be among the elite but you are perfectly welcome to have some low level mook characters running about trying to "survive" the chaos. Just normal swings of an elite's weapon can blow people around like rag dolls if they are weak. There are various magical abilities that you can have. I won't say what you can and can't do at the moment, we'll just see once everyone posts their character if everyone feels that it will be an acceptable and fun character to fight. That being said, even time stopping powers might not be banned depending on how well you balance such abilities to make the battle still enjoyable for everyone.
The battles go like this: You post your reaction to your opponent's attack and then unleash an attack of your own if possible. Pretty simple.
To start a battle, just get everyone involved to say they want to battle and head off to the IC to fight in a battlefield of your choosing. It doesn't have to be anywhere close to the flag because most of the time the territories are defended well enough to stop attacks before they get there.
**Rules**
1. Your character must be approved by everyone involved in the battle as a character they want to fight.
2. You are not limited to a single character if your opponents likewise are fine with you having more.
3. No god modding stuff you should already know about such as controlling their character and killing them in your own post, not giving them a chance to react in their post. However, if your opponents are fine with it, if your character specifically has a power to control their opponents then it would be fine in that instance.
4. Don't keep your opponents waiting for more than three days or else they can skip your character's reaction and go to the hit that would come about as a result of the last attack you failed to respond in time too. However, if you inform us of your absence ahead of time then it's common courtesy to wait for them.
5. If an argument cannot be settled between the involved parties then you can go to everyone else in this thread to ask for an opinion on how to settle it. However, this is mainly battles for fun and should not be taken too seriously.
6. Don't post only one liners. There's no way you could get adequate information down in that time unless it's a run-on sentence.
7. If you post inadequate information in your post then your opponent can ask for clarification. For example, if you just say "I ran and attacked you". If you don't explain yourself within 3 days then they can assume whatever they want to reasonably make of what is written and react accordingly.

[Alexander Hertz (Played by ImportantNobody)](http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/75570/posts/char#post-2337704)
Two large armies faced each other, both sides letting out their respective battle cries, only the side closest to the forest edge making various animal noises rather than the human screams of their opponent. Roars, growls, chirps, hoots, and all manner of different sounds reverberating through the trees down to the plains below. The Animal Kingdom, otherwise known as Whiel Cattan, was standing firm to these human invaders of the evil Vurtan Empire. This was the first time in a long while that two countries of this size duked it out, showing that things were about to get a lot more serious in these little war game simulations that they were having on this manmade island.
One of the humals, having a base of a human with dog ears and a tail, named Ralpho Lenzkip, stood near the front of the animal pack, his trusty dog bone almost as large as himself firmly held in place on the ground off to his side. With his sort attention span he was struggling to hold himself back, repeatedly asking the andromals, intelligent animals, if they were ready to kick those imperial butts yet.
"We must issue our great battle cry first! It's tradition!" One of the beaver warriors standing next to him said.
Ralpho screamed at the top of his lungs as he surged forward with his dog bone at his side, closing the gap between the two forces in about a minute. Meanwhile, the other animals also let loose and followed behind him, starting the battle in a flurry of claw, sword, and gun.
It might be time that everyone posts their conclusion for this episode and then I'll start the new episode. I'll probably need to get two posts out, the first to reply to some people and then after everyone has posted their conclusion.
