Elrey / Harmony

Hearing Miss Avington ask if they had anymore questions or concerns, Elrey spoke. "Nope! So..clear the halls of the low level gangs! Gotcha!!" He said rushing out the room to go stir up trouble with a gang. Elrey didn't notice the guys that would soon stir things up with Kamiko but he did see 5 guys throwing a midget into the garbage can, laughing while they threatened to roll him down a hill.

On Harmony's end, she thankfully bowed to Miss Avington. "No, I think that's fine..wait...so each assignment, do we need to come to you to know what to do next?" She asked. That's up to you but I trust your judgement. Just don't go straight after the Chaotic 10 yet...at least not now. She said as harmony leaves to find out where her team have started to run off to. She was actually going to wait on Markus feeling it's not best to split up just in case they run into formidable opponents.

Elrey rushed over to the guys. "Hey! you guys take him out of there!" He said as the boys looked over. "And who the fuck are you?" One asked. "Doesn't matter...you know who we are? We're the Scorpion clique. And this part of the hall belongs to us. So I suggest you back the fuc-oooouuuuh!" Elrey rushed in to deliver a devastating blow to the mid-section, digging his fist deep into the guy's gut with enough force to lift the guy off the ground. The male, in pain fell to his knees nearly puking from the blow. "g-get...him!" He said before passing out as the others came at Elrey. With a smile, he got into a fighting position. "Alright..bring it!" Rushing in, he swiftly cracked 2 of the guys in the jaw, knocking them out as the next two came in with one having a knife and the other with a lead pipe.

Elrey would bob and weave from the attacks. "You guys are too slow." he said easily evading the attacks and grabbed the knife wielder's arm and launched an elbow into the guy's temple and blocked the lead pipe with his forearm and delivered a headbutt to the face as the guy cried out with a broken bloody nose. "yeah..weak..." he sighed and went to help the midget out the trash can. "Hey...you okay, little guy?" he asked as the midget student looked on. "I...I thank you but...you're only going to ask for more trouble. There's 4 gangs that usually hang out in this hall and the strongest gang out of the four...they are in the former student council room. Please...just stay away from them." he said. Elrey smirked. "Hehe it will be alright..I can handle myself and my team is pretty interesting so I think they will be fine too. I'm Elrey! And where's the student council room?" He asked while the midget male was taken aback by Elrey's attitude.

There were indeed 4 small gangs in this section of the halls as Elrey defeated one gang and Kamiko got started with the other as someone in the front office shook their heads noticing one of them were brought in. Miss Avington watched and smirked. Ms Monroe..keep track of all who have been defeated by the new student council. She said to the secretary and decided to wait if there were more students coming to answer her call.

@Wayward Heh! Sounds good enough :). You can put her in the character's tab. She makes an awesome addition to the team!

Paramount Academy

@Wayward Hmm...interesting ability. I think it could work as long as you give your girl room to grow with her power. I don't know how she will deal with teaming up with both Markus and Elrey but I'm down with a little internal team conflict, as long as they all can still work together to save the school....she's in! :)

exactly lol

I think I've zeroed in on a slightly more unique ability. Should our characters' reps be more altruistic in nature? IE doing bad things with good intentions?

@Wayward

Heh, that's fine with me. I'm curious as to what you have in mind :)

<Snipped quote by King Tai>

Well I started making a character with Air Manipulation that would utilize, primarily, a Baguazhang style. Then I realized that an NPC already had a wind based ability... not gonna lie, it's a bit hard to be unique and relevant without risking being OP when the NPC roster is so stacked.

@Wayward

That's understandable. I was going to have it that no style or ability can be the same just to have everyone have a unique style that's almost one of a kind but yes, the Chaotic 10 are purposely stacked and I actually encourage growth through the RP so that our characters would be able to fight through each rank. If you want to use the fight style and the ability, I'll make that exception. The woman that uses the wind ability mostly uses it for flips and take downs than for strikes. When she uses her wind based ability, there's an effect of sakara or flower petals in the winds when she performs an attack. The guy that uses Baguazhang, I can choose another fight style if needing to still make your character unique. :)

Paramount Academy

... is it fine if a PC would have a similar/the same style & ability to an NPC? Or should we avoid that

@Wayward

Hmm...depends on which NPC you're going to have similarities with and the manner you use the style and ability. What did you have in mind?

Xia Alexander

Tuesday - Hephaestus Manor

What more could a crippled ass girl ask for? Seeing how marlin was doing everything within her power to make Xia comfortable and the fact she was being taken care of in a huge manor like she was royalty, she should get injured more often! Nah, not really. She would take advantage of her English muffin like that but this was a nice accommodation. She could see how she was keeping her interests in mind with the stairs being a bit of a factor and wanting things easily accessible for her.

Xia smirked from her comments. Baaabe...I don't want you wearing yourself out just to take care of me. You're already doing so much for me as it is.. She said softly after sitting trying to get comfy. I think this is a learning experience for Carlo and that's saying especially how he needs to treat you. He probably still think of you as a snowbunny. Still showing tiredness.

After Xia closed her eyes for a bit while Marlin went to fix something light for them to eat, she soon didn't realize she was napping for just a few minutes before she'd get kissed and a wake up call, opening her eyes and looking up. Hm? She said and looked down at the food at the medication she needs to take while she ate. Thanks babe...didn't realize I was falling asleep. Show how comfy the sofa is She smirked and started chowing down after taking her meds and pulled up something on Disney plus. Wait what? Darkwing Duck? I'm watching that first babe. She gave a weak smirk.

---

On Keyla's end, she called Carlo to come and get her as she would soon see that Marlin was calling her back. she answered. she could hear marlin was a mess. she wondered why she behaved like that with her. Not that she was an intimidating woman, she sometimes wondered if Marlin was a few cards short of a full deck. She still loved the English girl but damn!

Marlin, sweetheart. It's fine. I have Carlo coming this way now to get me. You can still send me the address for future references. But I'll be on my way soon. You don't have to get things all fancy for me. I'm just there to help take care of my tookah. that's all that matters. She said before Marlin went to go do her thing but she could still hear Marlin talking to her daughter. She must've forgot to hang up. That girl was a mess and she prayed for her daughter to have patience. Regardless, she knew her heart was in the right place. She soon just hung up from the call and waited.

Xia watched marlin panic. Babe...chill the hell out. my mom is not going to be judgemental. She will actually admire the size of the house being she never been in something like this. I'll be fine, do what you need to do okay, I'll call if I need anything She said continuing to eat and let Marlin go and handle her stuff. Was actually amusing but scary to see her in such a panic and this was what Xia was talking about with her wearing herself out doing too much.

After a bit, Xia could hear Marlin come back down. I'm okay babe... Knowing well enough just how she can be with anxiety. Xia truly wanted her to not be so antsy and to not worry so much but she still appreciated the effort.

it wasn't long before Keyla would ring the door bell with Carlo standing with her.

Elrey / Harmony

Hearing all of this, Harmony looked over at the excited Elrey when hearing they needed to get rid of the gangs and such at this school. She herself was not to fond of having to always use violence but one thing about her was that she had a big heart and was willing to help those who cry out for help. Elrey jumped up. "I'm down!! I'm ready to kick as many asses that you need!!!" he said while Harmony stared at him and slightly sighed and chuckled. Harmony spoke. "I'm not into violence like that but if you need my help, I'll do what you need to make this school peaceful again. And I hope my comrades and I will work fine together." She said while Elrey looked over. "Damn straight!!"

With another sip of her wine and staring at these four, she smirked and chuckled lightly. Interesting. Alright..and kamiko...to answer your question, your main targets are the Chaotic 10. 10 strongest forces in this school and they range from individuals to elite teams and gangs. they are not allies but more like a ranking system. That's your main objective...bring down the 10 and this school should gain a bit of peace once again. There are many other elite fighters here who are not ranked but here's my advice. Start at the bottom. Take down unranked problematic gangs and individuals. Make a name for your group as the Student Council. make yourselves a legitimate threat. yes..this will possibly make you a target but the more battles you win, the more fearsome you'd be where not everyone will face you. You need to know though, the Chaotic 10 are not as simple as those losers some of you dealt with when you came in. They are tougher. She mentioned.

So first act...I need you all to start clearing the halls of these low rank gangs and work from there. If someone initiates a fight with you or you see them causing problems...deal with them. You're like the law enforcement of this school. But one thing I ask...absolutely NO...KILLING. She requested. Is that clear? She said wanting to hear from all of them. Elrey smirked. "I'm just here to kick ass and get stronger." He said. Harmony nodded. "I understand. Just neutralize or subdue the enemy...got it."

Do any of you have anymore questions or concerns?

Paramount Academy

I'll have a post up soon.
