Star Wars Invasion [A Multiverse Spaceship RP]

AWWWW SHIT! We back in action? Because I would LOVE to continue this.

X-Men: Cosmic Crusades 👽

Robert Linden

As everyone funnelled past his attempt at self sacrifice and several of them berated him for his concerns that people were dismissing the fact that an unstoppable force of purest death that could instantly disintegrate any of them at any moment was taking their friends body for a joyride and the ONLY one of them that seemed to actually address that fact was said girl who's body had been hijacked. "Am i the only one on this damn rock not taking crazy pills?" He asked himself. "Cortez is a danger to himself and people immediately around him. Stay away from him and he's not that much of a threat." He stared at Mary "That thing is so dangerous that multiple galactic civilizations have warrants out for its imprisonment and destruction because it has single handedly wiped out LITERAL GALAXIES!" He stared at the others. "But i suppose that if it decides to murder us all that ground zero is probably the safest place to be. At least it's over quick..." He scrunched his lips up in contemplation. He grabbed his face with his outstretched fingers and pulled down, this not stretching his skin due to the steel plating surrounding him at the moment. "Fine, fine, fine. Look, there is no pity-party in this. It's all, what i think we can all agree, is legitimate concern about the unstoppable god of galactic genocide and holocaust that has hijacked your friends body." He then walked towards Mary only to be electrocuted by the walls. He stopped for a second to change his skin from the steel he had absorbed to the leather and fabric from his Wheelchair. The electricity no longer effecting him as his outside was now made of non-conductive material. He then ran to walk alongside Mary

"Might i suggest we do the sensible thing, though. The rest of us go and deal with Cortez? If he gets us and makes our powers wig out, we could hurt someone. If he makes the Phoenix's powers wig out, then it'll be quicker to list the people of this solar system it doesn't hurt. I'm not saying that you shouldn't be doing something, but there are other things that need doing and you tackling Cortez in your current condition is like trying to put out a forest fire with Petrol. I met your other friends, Carolina, Max and the others. Last time i saw them, they were running over towards an explosion. They might need your help more." He asked. Anyone looking at him could clearly see this was someone legitimately trying to keep everyone around him safe. "Look, you guys are Professor Xavier's X-Men. He wouldn't have sent you guys if he didn't have complete confidence in you and i'll follow your lead, but i'm just trying to help."

As Mary finished boiling the water away, Rob ran over to the computer and quickly put the dehumidifiers up to max to counteract the fact that she had just turned this entire floor into a sauna, rapidly super-heated steam being sucked into the air-vents to have the moisture recycled into the resevoir. He looked at the others as she walked out into the hallway. He was the first one into the hallway after her, he put his hands up to the others, a look of total and utter fear across his face "STAY BACK!!!" He looked at her talking to the boy who had made all of the water and then to the others "That's not your friend in there anymore, that's something VERY dangerous and we are all in mortal peril. We have got to make our way, VERY slowly away from here and to whatever ship you have, because if she decides it, we're all going to be dust within seconds..." He said. "Trust me, don't trust me, think i'm one of Magneto's stooges all you want, but you weren't there... You didn't see what that... What that thing did to Professor Grey... How many people it made her just... Vaporize... No warning, no mercy." He thought back to all those years ago... over at her and smiled, trying to keep the illusion that he wasn't afraid of what it would do the moment he turned his back. He remembered the burning... The Fire...

9 years ago

Rob had had quite the day at Nasa. 2 years since Master Mold's attack had taken Asari from him, 2 years it had been just him and Jasmine and the nanny he had hired to look after her. He was living in Yonkers at the time and had been working in New Jersey that day, checking on the manufacturing for one of their new Satilites. He was hoping to swing by Annandale-on-Hudson on the way back, trying to see if Professor Logan was in one of his old favourite bars, try to catch up on it. His old Buick attracting the novelty of a 60 year old car. He was just driving through one of the suburbs towards the bar when. A bright flash in the sky, a large fireball, a meteorite? Either way, it touched down in a park near him. In order to drive, he had to focus on the adamantium keeping his spine in check, but acting on instinct, he put on the hazards, turned off the ignition and jumped out of the car, running into the park, he grabbed a metal trashcan, and absorbed it, getting a new alluminium coating over his body. As he ran through the treeline, he ran into the park, seeing the flames, the destruction, civilians running away, turning to ash as they did so and he saw her...

Tall, Inferno Red Hair, black, red and yellow costume, slowly walking forwards, her beautiful face twisted into an enraged sneer. "Pro... Profes-ssor Grey?" He shook. Rob wasn't a coward, he had faced down powerful foes before... But... The casual brutality of this, the utter barbarity... He stood there, paralyzed by fear... He... He couldn't do this... He couldn't just charge into battle, especially not against such overwhelming odds. As he saw the fire burning in her eyes, just casually disintegrating another man who broke cover to escape her wrath, he seemed to black out, everything went... Fuzzy, the next thing he knew, he was in the car driving at 80mph down a country road, he looked in his wingmirror to see a bright light lighting up the evening sky. He knew that an epic battle was going on back there, but all he could think was the need to get back to his daughter and be there to protect her when that... When that monster came for them... Came for all of them...

Now

That thing had made him feel powerless on that day... He found out later when he had talked to Professor Logan and Summers that it had been a creature called Phoenix. But he had ran that day and had survived. He had no reservations about running on this day too, but this time, there was no Professor X or Logan or Storm coming to rescue them. The only way these kids were getting out of this one was with his help. "I'm not playing around with you kids. If you want to live, long and happy lives, we need to get away from that thing that has taken your friends body for a joyride." He seemed to turn around and put himself between the others and Mary. "I bet you don't even remember my face..." He mumbled under is breath.

Rob listened to Mary starting to complain at him, he was listening for the most part, but mostly was trying every trick he knew of with the computers in order to get some of the pumps active... Failing that, he was hoping he may be able to open one of the airlocks in the entirely flooded area and vent the water harmlessly into space and then repressurize the area... But then he stopped. The kid who created all that water was still probably in the flooded area and that was consigning him to death. "Look, i appreciate that, but the simple fact is that i am a man who believes in fixing problems first and then assigning blame later. Right now, i am focussed on exactly 1 thing, getting everyone on this station through this day alive and for anoth..." He stopped mid sentence as he watched Mary start to get more noticably angry. "Crap he got to you, didn't he?" He asked. He set the computer to run a diagnostic on the pumps to figure out why they weren't working, which would take a few minutes anyway. He then jogged over to her. "Usually, i've just been confining those going through withdrawls to a quarters, but-" He then saw the fire blaze from their hands and stopped dead... "You..." He seemed to back off a little, before the metal from his wheelchair started to creep over his face and through his hair, as well as across his suit. He had no idea how the Professor had managed to design the suit to act as almost a second skin to him, but he suspected it had something to do with Unstable Molocules "Now, you gotta be careful with that, there is sensitive equipment in the walls, i insulated them as best i could, just be careful or we are getting either crushed by water pressure or turned inside out due to decompression."

If this one was suffering from withdrawl he frankly didn't trust her to open a tin of beans that was already open without turning said tin into a nuclear inferno, but he also doubted he had the power to prevent her from doing it anyway. So, better to try to aim her in the right direction. Talk calmly and try not to aggravate her. "Just keep in mind that-" He pointed to the others in the room with a broad sweep of his arm. "-Your friends are all in here with you."

Robert frowned at Flynn as he asked if he was about to attack them. "Nope, not gonna attack you. i'm trying very much to keep this station fully intact and working and there seems to be a few people around today that are doing their damnest to prevent that." Suddenly, the alarm started blaring on the computer screen as the faint sound of rushing water quickly grew louder "WHAT THE BLOODY HELL NOW?!" He yelled, quickly tapping at the keyboard to order all of the warning systems to report in with any errors. As Flynn closed the door and water rushed past, his heart dropped "That explosion, it must have ruptured one of the coolant tanks or hydroponics or-" That was weird, all of the systems that had anything to do with water seemed to be coming back as A-OK, no errors, no ruptures, no nothing... But failsafe flooding alarms were still going off. "Dammit, the bloody internal damage sensors must have been-" but it seemed that he wasn't allowed to finish a thought today as Ed accused him of waiting for them to have their back turned before stabbing it.

"Alright, let me make something very clear!" He growled. Before scrunching up his face, his clothes absorbing into himself before the X-Men suit was deabsorbed around himself. "Robert Stephen Patrick Linden, Codename Upgrade, Xavier Institute class of 2007. I made this place for 1 reason and 1 reason alone. I want Magneto off my damn planet and i don't want to kill him. Giving him his own station where he can bugger off to space and leave everyone on Earth alone seemed like the best way to do it. Trust me when i say, i want to be here as just little as you do. But we all want him gone. So let's give him the means to bugger off peacefully." He continued tapping away on the computer, trying to get the drainage systems from fire suppresion working. He then heard Mary mention about a mutants powers going haywire and it took a few seconds for Robert to figure out "Cortez..." moments before she asked him about Cortez. "Him and his sister showed up here a short while ago. Bloody snake-oil salesman that one is. Gives your powers a quick boost, but the come down... Seen a few guys act like it's Cocaine. Seemed a little too big into the Magneto Kool-Aid so i didn't think too much of him. Was hoping he'd go with Magneto when he left Earth." He continued tapping, before finally a ding and a distant clunk sound. "Right, got the air-tight emergency doors closed, so the water won't be spreading anywhere else, but that doesn't help us get out of here." He groaned. "I'll try and get the pumps working, but they were never really designed to handle this much water."

Robert Linden

Finally seemed to be making some progress. Nobody seemed to be about. Simultaneously relieving and annoying. He stopped for a 20ish seconds in order to reabsorbed the X-Men suit and de-absorbed his normal clothes, putting them back on the outside. He was no-where near where that explosion had happened, the only thing that suit would do right now is get him beaten up by angry brotherhood mutants. As he panted heavily and walked around a few steps with hands on hips. Running took it out of him, especially while trying to concentrate on keeping his spine intact. He let out a long sigh "Feck it" He let out from under his breath. No specific reason to be running now, he would conserve his energy by switching back to the wheelchair... Or at least, that's what he was going to do, when he suddenly saw an explosion of orange light from out of one of the open doors. "What in the power of Greyskull..." He mumbled, before slowly sneaking over and looking into one of the computer rooms to see a kid sat at a computer with 2 girls and another guy in there. Didn't recognize them. Could be with the other X-Men, but could also be some of Magneto's new worshippers. Best play it safe and act dumb. He poked his head through the door "Ummm, hello?" He asked. "New recruits for the construction team? Maintainance? Tech-Support? Robert Linden, chief architect for the Asteroid." He slowly sidled around the outside of the room, trying to act naturally, but also being wary in case they decided to just laser him to death (Brotherhood mutants were prone to trying that one) "Sorry, just need to get to this computer..." He strategically chose a computer that would allow him to keep an eye on the 4 in front of him while also checking. "Just need to check some of the internal sensors. There was a big explosion a few minutes ago and just need to make sure that we're not all about to be turned inside out in a violent explosive decompression." He laughed in order to hide his true feelings which was utter terror.

If these guys were some of Magneto's worshippers, they may be about to head off and start a fight in his Asteroid that could rip the station apart and if they were X-Men... Well, much of the same, frankly. Point is, that he had FINALLY figured out how to get Magneto out of Earths problem box without killing him and now that solution was falling apart because Erik just HAD to go and grab an X-Man for his station. And then there was Jasmine. If he was turned into People-Patte here and now, who would look after her? He breathed a sigh of relief as none of the internal sensors seemed to be registering any decompression. "Well, the good news is we are going to live right now, but the main question is how i can help our brave, intrepid explorers to the stars?" He asked with a big friendly smile that hid his preparations to defend himself if he should be attacked.

What kind of RP mood are you in?

@Silverwind Blade I am looking for players for a Tramsformers Essence20 game if you go to the Tabletop section.

As Robert continued to run... But he stopped, realizing he had no idea where any of them had gone to. He panted a little, again, he tried to keep his cardio up to prevent his legs from fully atrophying, but he wasn't exactly in the best shape of his life. "What the hell am i doing?" He panted. He looked around. "I can't let Magneto see me in this. He'll think i'm some kind of double agent." He sighed. Then again, it was the closest thing he had to a space suit. It was designed for harsh environments. He looked down the corridors. One led to the Hangar, the other led to C&C. Well, if nobody was answering from C&C, then he'd have to head over there anyway. This place needed someone at the helm. He set off at a run towards C&C.

Robert Linden

Robert continued trying the button "C&C? C&C PLEASE respond..." then turned around upon hearing the whoosh of Pietro running off. "Blast it" He looked at Carolina as she told him to get the map. "Who died and left you in charge..." He saw her run off down the hallway after Pietro, along with the others. He tried to call out something, but it fell on deaf ears. "Damn and blast it all to hell..." He growled, wheeling himself into the lab again, he looked around "I'll go to the foot of my stairs..." he cursed, realizing this was an emergency situation, he didn't know what was going to happen in the next hour... This may be a mistake, but he'd have to take it. Concentrating, he slowly sank down to the ground as the wheelchair sank into his body. He concentrated on putting the right elements in the right places, the Adamantium into his spine to reattach the nerve endings, finally his legs sprang to life, he pulled himself to his feet, before running over to grab the blueprint map, he was about to leave when he looked at the wardrobe he kept his spare labcoats in... He sighed, before running over to it and pressing the door to open. He grabbed the leather costume, as well as grabbing a long metal pipe he kept in there for emergencies and a respirator, just in case they were venting atmosphere. He set off at a run down the hallway, absorbing both the items into himself, focussing on reorganizing the molocules to keep them together. He then slowly began absorbing his outer clothing as he continued running, for about 10 seconds, he was running completely naked, before finally, the blue and yellow costume seeped out of his skin around himself. It had been TOO long since he had charged towards impending doom in his costume... He didn't get the mask out, though, he liked to think he had moved past it. He simply kept running towards where the blast had come from.

Transformers: Something Evil's Watching Over You (Essence20)

@rush99999 Right, i noticed a few things with your character sheet:

1) You only put 15 points on your Character Sheet, so you have another point to use
2) You can't have more than D6 in any skill at Level 1
3) You have to have at least 1 point in each essence, because certain attacks will cause you to temporarily go down Essences and if you have 0 in an essence, then your character immediately goes down.
4) For your any attack Specialization, i'd recommend using keywords for weapons. Examples: Sniper, Balistics, Sharp, Explosive, Blunt. I will put a list of weapon keywords when i get around to putting up the equipment.
