FISTFUL OF STEEL (Mr. Rakkan Vs. First-Degree Donny)

The suspicious man hastily made his way over to Rakkan with an expression shifting from having suspicions of his own to concern. He couldn’t really blame him for looking at him the way he did, but he did wonder what would cause him to approach in this manner, disrupting traffic along the way. He allowed the man to draw near and speak, turning to face him.

Dropped something? That was odd. He didn’t have much to drop from his person without it being incredibly noticeable to him, such as his briefcase. Perhaps this man had mistaken someone else dropping something from within the crowd? In that case he could help find the real person in need of assistance. He followed the gesture to the object in question. Indeed it wasn’t familiar.

“Ah, I see that you’re mistaken,” he’d say if he was allowed the time, his attention moving back towards the man after glancing at the object for a brief second. “Let me help you search for whomever dropped it.”

My schedule shifted to swing shift on weekends and days off monday/tuesday. In theory I should be on here more those days.

In other news, I'm working on my battle with the Doc. In other other news, Pollen, are you trying to be me and not post in our battle for weeks? :P

We need more crazy unique highly specialized characters like from Overwatch. Something like what a child came up with for one of their characters:

inigame.id/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/..

Why can't we have a character with wing/scarf thing coming out of their head to make them jump really far and have a green gas emitting hoola hoop thing attached to her head? Could be fun to have a zany team based arena fight with healers and such, although we don't have a good record with team matches proceeding on time. It would be more casual and beginner friendly.

EDIT: I could have a setting where everyone in it is separated into classes, although by classes it means stuff like healers as their social class.

We can't let this die now! Where for art thou, everyone?!?!?!?!

FISTFUL OF STEEL (Mr. Rakkan Vs. First-Degree Donny)

Given his monstrous appearance, which could only be diluted partially by a business suit, Mr. Rakkan didn't make a habit about traveling around in broad daylight where he could frighten people and cause a panic. However, he was called in to cover someone's shift at work, and did not own a car, so proceeded on foot through the crowded streets that dispersed around him. He was quick footed enough to make it on time that way normally, although today would mark the first time that he'd be late.

"Good day...good day, huh?...howdy!" He said to people with kind waves.

Although at first he didn't stand out too much, he noticed some guy across the street giving him an abnormal look as he continued onward. It wasn't fear for his life. It was something else. Rakkan quickened his pace, having a bad feeling about him.

FISTFUL OF STEEL (Mr. Rakkan Vs. First-Degree Donny)

Mr. Rakkan

Name: Mr. Rakken (sometimes called Rah)
Age: 35
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Appearance: His body resembles a xenomorph from the movie Alien, being black and skeletal looking; similar to an insect's exoskeleton. However, he has no tail and his head looks more like a cat (maintaining a skeletal black look), without ears, nose, or any hair. He doesn't appear as scrawny as an actual skeleton, still retaining the bulk of an athletic human male, standing 6'2" tall. His eyes are red with no whites of the eye. His teeth are very sharp. The claws on his hands and feet can extend to a length of five inches, normally being an inch long.

Personality: Despite appearances he's very kind hearted and gentlemanly. He doesn't get angry at people judging him, only saddened. Thanks to this he knows never to judge anyone by appearances. However, he's not naive either (knowing how horrible mankind can be) so wouldn't ignore facts of someone being evil, just not judging a book by it's cover is all. He desires to rehabilitate people and give them second chances if at all possible, resorting to violence only when all other reasonable means fail.

Abilities

Physical Abilities- He can leap upwards from ground level, landing on his feet through a second story window. He focuses more on mobility than brute force, running at speeds of 40 miles per hour. His attack power, while almost peak human strength so is impressive in it's own right, is mostly in the form of his extremely sharp teeth and claw points, which can puncture anything short of bulletproof vests for heavy calibers. His body exoskeleton is tough but pierced by medium powered or better guns without much difficulty.

Black Goo Regeneration- His body is largely made up of a black goo-like substance that can sustain all his life functions without vital organs for a certain amount of time depending on how much material is left. If he's missing half a body than there's little he can do. If he's relatively intact than he can last up to ten minutes even with a destroyed heart. If his brain is destroyed or he looses too many cells than his body goes limp, but normal organ destruction allows him to keep on going only a little worse for wear for the time being. For things like muscles destruction then this can inhibit his movement more, but mainly if large holes are made in the muscle or cut entirely.

He cannot heal rapidly during battle, as this is mainly just for sustaining his life functions. He can recover from almost any injury, but this takes time. He would be out of commission for a month if his brain is destroyed. Only a large amount of his cells collected in one place can begin the recovery process, so his head could never sprout out a new body by itself. His body would be effectively dead in the meantime That being said, if his heart is destroyed then he could last ten minutes, momentarily become as good as dead, and then be good as new in about a week or so depending on the extent of the damage.

Equipment

Outfit: Normally in a business suit, minus shoes that can't fit his feet easily.
Other: He carries with him a briefcase if on his normal job.

I play it occasionally, though I avoid competitive entirely. Too much salt, not enough fun.

@Drifting Pollen

On ps4?

The only salty guy I came across our team was winning when he started salt. We hardly needed more than a minute to take their first post and he wanted someone to run off to get the second post while we were taking that post. That plan could work by distracting them or taking it f the enemy is careless and don't notice, but a rediculous thing to complain about. Then he complained about us not all attacking at once as a group, although it's not like we were particularly ineffective as got close to taking it a couple times before one final push when we got the post. Then he got mad when we were on defense when someone didn't jump in to delay them taking the post at the likely cost of their life, which is valid but not something I'd yell at someone for. We ended up fending them off the final post. My torbjorn did really well, but that's expected of torn.

I'm mostly caught up on other stuff. Let my battles commence after work! I switched back to day shift recently, by the way, so will be more active afternoons.

Anyone play overwatch? Competitive is so annoying. I dropped 4 ranks in 5 matches because my teams lost despite me getting multiple gold metals (meaning I got top in my team in certain categories) yet it still throws the book at me. one game I got gold in healing as a non-support (soldier 76) while also getting two other gold metals and a silver, but nope! Almost lost a full level that game. Makes sense. Well, pretty soon I'll be low enough rank to be matched with people I'll just be seal clubbing the whole match. Guess that would be fun in its own right to get some revenge here.

I'm thinking of a new main character for this.

Here's the thread. Give me your guy's name so I can fix the title!

@Doc Doctor

He's Mr. Rakkan, but can go by Rah or alien dude guy.

I'm going with the plot idea that his genes were spliced together when some warrior beast race but he doesn't exhibit their bloodlust. In them multiverse, if he ends up included (which I doubt), people could assume the warrior beast is indeed the alien fron Alien if they know earth culture. But they are wrong.
