@Raptra@Rabidporcupine@Cerces22@OliveYou@PokimKyOshi@Ken@Eric Horst

Now that I'm thinking about it, might as well announce it. I already spoke to Raptra about it but next week, my son should be born. Don't know the exact day just yet but either way, he's coming between the 7th and the 11th. I'm going to be on paternity leave which yeah, I'm not going to be at work for close to 2 months but may have my hands full with a newborn in the house. So, I'm just giving a heads up that my posts may not be as long and my time on here...well..I don't know yet because I won't know how well he will sleep. But I'll be on whenever I'm free. But I'll keep you guys posted on when I'll be more available and when I'll post whenever it's my turn.

@King Tai
Ok, so here's my plan. I'm probably gonna start putting out a bunch of short posts. Like, proper short. Paragraph or two at best. Just to keep the action fast and not do too much before you get the chance to respond.

@Rabidporcupine

Alright, sounds good to me.

Guild of Dishonor

I'll have a post up soon.

I might have Embryon appear in Southside. I assume hospitals there are shittier than others, while also having a high influx of trauma patients and victims of violent crime, so the perfect place to pull off a mysterious miracle healer operation. But that would mean strange security footage of a pink, fleshy monster scouring the halls of the hospitals, like a Xenomorph.

@Stern Algorithm

Hey, no complaints here. In my mind, the hospitals are shittier than others. And that's if all the camera's are working lol. Would be an interesting reaction for Black Fury to see a pink looking alien being. He will initially trip out the first time seeing em.

Coming outside, closing the door to Street Wise Gym, a place he calls home on the second floor above the place that a friend of his rented out to him, Tiger turned to take a look around his surroundings. The neighborhood he grew up in, South Maximum. Toting his duffel bag, Tiger turned to start walking down the side walk. Walking a little ways, there were a few people that knew him by name and some that didn't as they gave a simple greeting to him while he passed by. Others simply stared at him, some were mean muggin. Was expected here on the southside. This area have not had the best treatment in regards to law enforcement.

It's been some time but Tiger have been living with power bestowed upon him and despite the police doing "what they can" to help with lowering the crime, Tiger found himself doing what the police should be doing. With the power of tactile telekinesis solely used to enhance himself physically to make his fighting skills more effective, There were a couple times Tiger would take the law in his hands if he was witnessing a mugging or a youngster about to get his ass kicked by a group of guys chasing him down. Whatever the case may be, He did what he had to to help some of the locals in his part of town.

Now...Tiger didn't really consider himself to be a hero like what he's seen on the news. He felt he was just a man looking out for the people on his block. He was not an everyday crime fighter but he does love his job as a physical therapist. He occasionally taught self defense classes but that's about it besides fighting hoodlums here and there. Some people talked a little about him, hearing rumors of him taking down a couple of thugs and and petty goons but he may have had a run-in with one or two people with abilities while doing the deed of fighting crime. It was problematic to say the least but hey, it's part of the game. You never know what you're going to get when fighting crime. Tiger still had much to learn about his power.

On his way to the rehab center not too far from him, Tiger walked by and alley, noticing something out the corner of his eye, stopping in his tracks to notice 3 guys cornering a young teen against the brick wall. Getting a closer look, the boy seemed familiar. One of the guys spoke to him.
Thought you could hide from us you little pussy!?

No, man...look I...I...I can't do that. Too much risk involved. I mean...I almost got caught.

Because your clumsy ass made too much noise and got those guy's attention! Now...the security is going to be beefed up and more than likely, they will have a gun on them next time. I told you get in, get the shit, and get out. but no!! Now...you owe us!

Look I'm sorry! All I got is 10 bucks. You can have that. The boy pulled the 10 bucks out. The young thug snatched the money out the boy's hand.

Nah! You're takin' your ass back there and you're gonna get dem watches, bracelets, chains, and rings. If you don't, I'll kill you myself!

Tiger gave a sigh before walking into the alley. Jordan! He called out to the boy. You know you should be in school right now. Walking over to the guys. Hey! Man get yo old ass outta here. Tiger turned his attention from Jordan to the 3 thugs. I should be telling you that. And why are you three older boys ganging up on this kid?

Mr. Jones...I'm...I'm good. You heard em. Go... Quietly staring at the thug, Tiger turned back to Jordan. Who were you trying to steal from? Hey! I said Go man! It ain't none of your business!

I already made it my business. I know this boy and I'm here to tell you now...he's not one of you. He's not down with whatever crew you're with. So...how about you leave the kid alone and go about your business and you'll never have to see him again.

How about we beat your ass and then we beat his ass. You know who you talkin to? We rep the Mercer Bros. So...I'm tellin you one last time. Back up...or get jacked up!

With that, Tiger dropped his duffel bag to the ground before smirking and moving over to get in front of Jordan to defend him. He began to pop his knuckles along with his neck Make your move...

Black Fury

Appearance (civilian):

Civilian

Appearance (costume):

costume

I know, no real difference lol but he's ready to whoop ass now.

Name:
Tiger "The Fist" Jones

Quote:
"I just checked my watch and it's time to kick yo ass."
"I'm just trying to protect my home, one ass whoopin' at a time."

Alias:
Black Fury

Age:
38

Gender:
Male

Occupation:
Physical Therapist and Gym instructor/personal trainer.

Abilities:
Skilled Martial artist- Tiger have been taught in using Karate, Shaolin Kung fu, aikido, Judo, and Muay Thai

Athletic Physical Condition- Tiger is at about Olympic level physical condition when not using his powers

Tactile Telekinesis/Telekinetic Combat- This ability grants Tiger enhanced strength (Enough force to push/knock over up to a ton.), durability (Thanks to a telekinetic force field coating the body that can give him damage resistance), and the release of telekinetic pressure through his palm (a force that can push up to 500 pounds). This power allows Tiger to look as if he's using inner chi to fight with.

Weaknesses:
Though, having such great power at his disposal, he is not invincible. He has his limits. When not using his powers, he's just as vulnerable as a normal person (If he's unaware of a lethal or regular attack, he can be harmed easily). When using his power, it takes concentration to utilize the telekinetic force. If his power is used continuously in a drawn out fight, Tiger may get physically or psychologically fatigued or suffer straining. In severe cases: bleeding from the nose or eyes, falling unconscious, or possible physical injury.

Equipment:
Eskirma Sticks- Tiger hates guns but he loves beating some ass with his fighting sticks. They are quite durable.

Bio:
Tiger was born to Benson and Olivia Jones on the South side of Maximum. His father, an army major and his mother, a nurse.

During his early years, Tiger remembered seeing his father come and go on assignments which left him under the care of his mother the majority of the time. His mother tried to raise him right with positivity but where there's positives, there were negatives. When Tiger was 10, his cousin, Jody, was usually the one Tiger hung out with but because of Jody's influence and behavior problem, Tiger's mother didn't want him hanging out with Jody.

Gang life, drugs, pimpin', violence....this was something that Tiger was exposed to by Jody since Jody's father was always in and out of jail. Now, Tiger never engaged in these activities since his mother inculcated what was good and bad into Tiger to be able to make the right decisions. Because of this, Jody started to change a bit, becoming aggressive towards Tiger. The people the hung out with Jody responded the same way towards him until Tiger got his first beating when he refused to do a drug deal for Jody and his friends.

It didn't stop there when the southside started to become a little more rough. There were 2 incidents that involved someone mugging Tiger's mother and when a group of goons broke into their home, ransacked it and took all of their valuables. The police weren't doing anything it seems that no one could never catch these ones who were committing crimes. When depression hit his mother when her husband deserted them and she started taking drugs, Tiger traveled to a nearby dojo to train under an instructor so to gain some skill to defend himself.

A few years passed, and crime got a little worse and some police were starting to show their corruption. Tiger was in his mid to late 20s when he personally stopped a mugging and attempted rape that a group of goons were trying on a teenage girl. With his various martial arts skills he picked up helped him in this case but like Maximum's finest, they show up after the fact and placed Tiger under arrest for aggravated battery when he was doing what the police were suppose to do. Being taken to the station while the goons were left without being taken in, Tiger out of rage, cursed the police for their irresponsibility and their lack of care for his community.

In his cell, he met a weird old man who was in the cell with him that saw the frustration in Tiger, causing him to bring about the fact that there are beings out there that have more that enough capabilities to make a difference in Maximum. He asked Tiger what he'd do if he had power and with that, he responded "I'd clear out the trash and poison in my community that takes the shape of criminals, drugs, and corrupt law enforcement. People talk about heroes but we need ones that look out for the little man...and that's what the hell I'd do..." He said which caused the man to smile and swiftly make his way over to Tiger, to place his hand on his head, allowing Tiger's eyes to glow as his own before he let go and explained that now Tiger had the ability to do something about the problems in his neighborhood. He could do amazing things if he put his mind to it.

Not knowing what the man did, Tiger was soon released back to his neighborhood where he ran into those goons he beat up before. They were at it once again as they followed a woman trying to hurry home. Tiger once against stood between them and their potential victim but this time, they had guns. not wanting to get close, The goons pulled their guns out, looking for revenge and shot towards Tiger and the girl he was protecting. He rushed over to cover her only to realize that he was harmed and when they reloaded, Tiger turned and pointed his palms towards them telling them to stop but unconsciously released a strong forces to knocked them all back and knocked them out.

It took time to figure this out but as time went on, Tiger realized that the man in jail must've bestowed power upon him, learning what power he gained and trained more in his fight styles to utilize his power with it. Since then, his neighborhood has been fighting police brutality, drugs in their community, criminal activity and over all problems that needed to be addressed. With his involvement in trying to fight crime and constant battle in talking some sense into kids on the streets, especially ones like the phasing young man, Free-Roam. South Maximum is hopefully on the road to recovery.

Other info:
Tiger is a fan of oldschool martial arts films along with the blaxploitation movies his father once owned. He was inspired by his heroes Bruce Lee, Jim Kelly, and Shaft

@King Tai I think your guy is good to go!

He might have trouble taking on any hero with super powers though, just a heads up.

@Dynamo Frokane

Cool cool :)

I think he'll be fine. Think it depends on what powers he's faced against. Unless I need to up the ante a little of his tactile telekinesis to make him a little more even against other powers?
