The Gifted: A Fast Paced Superpower RP

Sorry to double-post, but I must sleep.

The Gifted: A Fast Paced Superpower RP

@Potato, Oh. I mixed things up. So, basically, the Magi are still good guys, albeit pawns of the enemy. That works.

Hmm, can we have the Magi's help in the future?

So, basically, Constantine and Alto's raid on Avalon was both 1.) Lucky, and 2.) Probably illegal, as they were infiltrating a facility under the protection of the Government to free someone who might be a criminal.

Dangit, can we go with: the Government doesn't know that Consty and Alto were the ones who broke in?

Stephen never told me anything about the origins of the power, but due to the fact that I've been making the lore up as I go along, I'm sure I can find a reason for that!

Dangit all, I genuinely hoped that the Sleeper Facility was separate from Avalon and that the Magi were good guys.

Constantine noticed two new Metahumans, both Registered; Light and Bio-Beast - who was different from Bio-Weapon. It was good that they were here, because the Internal Reformist 1.) needed the extra firepower, and 2.) needed to coordinate the 'Heroes' operations better. So, using his knowledge of their Registered Numbers, he sent one of his personnel after Light, and called Bio-Beast on his smartphone.

"John Hammers!" he spoke, using Bio-Beast's real name, "There is an FBI van at the outskirts of the Centre, and I strongly recommend that you get and head there right now; everyone who calls themselves 'Heroes' are being called into action - with the chaos that's happening today, the time for Independent action has passed." The FBI Agent that would go to Light's position, also named John Hammers*, said much the same thing, telling Light to, you know, come to the FBI Van.

Once the two got there, perhaps annoyed, they would find, well, the FBI, as well as a bespectacled man with blond hair, blue eyes, and wearing a T-Shirt and Tan Jeans, along with a black-haired, white-skinned woman with green eyes wearing green spandex, and finally, Dean**. It was the bespectacled man who would speak:

"Hello there, my name is Constantine Ramiel King, and I need your help. As you can see, there's been a massacre, and I just heard news that the FBI building has been blown up. We are heading back there right now to investigate, as well as further coordinate defensive measures and counterattacks for the enemy, and, well," he smiled, "prepare for the coming storm as best as we can."

Ah, understood, and sorry for the delay.

Lore questions: StephenRouse, the first GM, mentioned a "Sleeper Facility" that functions as a Meta-Prison, which in turn was the place where LA's first Superhero Team was forced into going, kick-starting the plot. Is the Sleeper Facility the same as Avalon, or is it different?

Second, did Stephen tell any of you about the origins of superpowers? He says that that was going to be the original plot of the RP.

Reposting.

Hey, I'll have you guys know that Ruby has a leave-no-drone-behind policy! I'll drop it for now though. :PAlso, I know, I really like the song and was focusing on the lyrics when I realised that they really applied to the RP!

Point taken, sorry.

I understand that, but its a looot of reading and I'm a bit lost on where things are again xD. Same with yogg apparently. I'm just waiting for Light to be picked up, lol.

There was a standoff/debate/skirmish in which Constantine and Pamela tried to stop Aster from kidnapping the Mayor, but failed, after which Consty and Pam, now accompanied again by the NPC Healing Spore - who had been hiding - then went out to the outside, where they encountered Dean/Bojangles, who they then brought to Elena's FBI van. Then, they found out about the FBI bombing, and everyone was angry, and then they decided to go back to the ruins of HQ.

The riot was an Anti-Metahuman protest that was made much worse by the fact that the instigator of the Anti-Metahuman protests hired a Meta (Aster) to kill several of the protesters rioting, as well as the policemen keeping order. Before this, Gary Stuart, my NPC, tried to hire several Metas (Pamela/Twist and Dean/Bojangles) to the protesters; he guessed that the Walt Disney Concert Hall was going to be the focal point for an attack, because, well, it's Disney. However, the Metas he hired failed spectacularly, and Aster got away, and was then ordered to abduct the mayor and take him...somewhere.

In the immediate aftermath, Ruby, a Technopath given Power Armor by the Big Bad, attacked the FBI headquarters in LA and blew it up, killing many people. Cedric, one of my PCs, as well as William, an NPC, survived, and Cedric now vows revenge.

Alec, another Metahuman who was asked to protect the protesters, refused to do so and instead began investigating on his own. He'll join the Heroes soon.So, yeah, Chaos.

And, finally, in the aftermath, Martial Law would be called, throwing things in further disarray for the Heroic Metas and the Internal Reformist movement. So, yeah, the good guys are in a bind.

To add more to the summary Letter Bee just constructed, the first Arc dealt with the Heroes trying to protect a gang leader named Valentine Caro who possessed information on over 2000 mercs. The mercs quickly got alerted and were either instructed to kill or break Caro out. Elijah, AcerRo's character, was one of the mercs who pulled an assassination attempt on him, but thanks to Nightingale's, Cedric's and William's intervention, Caro got off easy (if you call third-degree burns easy). In the meanwhile, Cypress, the Aparture poster girl, was in pursuit of Elijah's partner, Ruby, who had earlier raided one of Aparture's assets. She finally managed to track Ruby and they argued the shit out of each other in the rooftop. Unbeknownst to Cypress, Ruby had alerted Aparture and minutes later they came in, guns blazing, and captured both Ruby and Cypress.

Nightingale held a grudge against Aparture, so she decided to join Elijah and lay vengeance on them. Cedric caught them make a deal and came to the realization that Nightingale had defected. Somewhere off-screen, the TV man was taping everything.

A few feet below Aparture was a high-security prison, in which Constantine and Alto, a government meta and a merc, broke in and rescued Cypress. Ruby was offered to join Aparture, and she accepted.

Well, again, problem with the good guys is that they have numbers, but, well, their powers are not suited for direct damage, like the villains are.
