Virginia found the mention of sands curious. To her, sands belonged in places that were warm and far away from England's shores - perhaps the Caribbean where many went to train. She had heard plenty of talk about those sandy beaches, a sight incredibly different from the rocky ones she was so used to here in the British isles. However, she had to smile at the thought of gods playing games, going from place to place. She could see her own patron, Veliona, doing something of those sorts. "That is understandable - with such a long existence as theirs, with an immortal life without an end, they need some form of entertainment," she mused.
She glanced at the carriage post as well as Ny pointed it out. She wasn't too thrilled at pretending to be a weak maiden - she didn't like the entire image it gave of the helpless female - but it was unlikely that they'd be able to obtain a ride otherwise. "I think I might have an easier time pretending to be the old man, but I shall make my best attempt to pull the wool over their eyes," Virginia replied, referencing their earlier line of conversation as she followed Ny forward. She started to think over the ways to present herself like that, attempting to fold inwards slightly as to look vulnerable and weak.
Maeve Brennan
Location: House Kirkpatrick Skills: N/A
While to an extent, Maeve could appreciate the entire ~devil I know~ sentiment, she found it foolish in a lot of cases. This happened to be one of them. Lady Kirkpatrick was an unknown, yes, but Maeve was almost positive that her situation would improve with Lady Kirkpatrick's help, rather than remaining a quiet piece of arm wear for some egotistical and prickish lord. What one currently had was not always the best case and it struck her as stubborn and childish to not even press for details about Lady Kirkpatrick and what help she could afford. Oh well. Maeve shook off any remaining pity she had for the young woman. She seemed too fixated on a fate she felt pre destined for to notice possibilities to change the course.
Once inside the house, Maeve nodded curtly. She truthfully did not wish to speak of Calum at the moment, but she had struck a deal with the Lady Kirkpatrick and she needed to honor its terms. "We encountered a number av rynes. We managed ter put dem ter rest, but Calum an' Rory were not so fortunate. We then secured transportashun back 'ere from these gentlemen as our carriage wus not an opshun any longer," Maeve explained. She made eye contact as she explained the situation to Lady Kirkpatrick's nephew, knowing that he still thought that she worked for him. Maeve omitted the fact that they had seen Roisin before the battle - that was something to be kept in confidence between herself and the Lady Kirkpatrick.
Present Day - The Castle: May 4th, 12,508 - 8:15 PM
@KazAlkemi@Nallore@LadyRunic: As you enter Wizard Tower, you find yourselves on the 21st Floor. There are two doors near you - one of them is locked shut tightly and the other is slightly ajar. Through the open doorway, you can see what looks like a recently vacated bedroom, as if its previous occupant had just moved out earlier that day. Down the hallway are a set of spiral stairs that lead into a warm living room below. The fire is crackling and it is warm, cozy, and inviting. No one seems to be home.
@LadyRunic: In the Manuscriptorium, most of the scribes seem to be dreadfully nervous. Their head, lovingly (and hatefully) called the CHS, has been on a bit of a rampage. The man only ever wears a mask due to a medical ailment without a cure, disfiguring his face since he was a child. One of the younger clerks, however, has worked up the courage to head on over to Skaoi. "Miss? Do you need assistance?" the young clerk asked softly. His uniform was several sizes too big and his face was a little sullen and thin, as if he was used to going regularly without food.
@LadyRunic: As Rhys doubtless remembers from his time at Wizard Tower, the ExtraOrdinary Wizard resides on the 20th and 21st floors. The Magykal staircase will take him only up to the 20th floor, at which point he will need to find a way to gain entry through the purple door. Typically, this is done by knocking and having the ExtraOrdinary Wizard greet you, allowing you to enter, but that most likely won't happen here. So... get creative! At any rate, Rhys is lucky and there aren't too many people using the stairs, so they are advancing upwards at a decent pace. The elder god within him stirs slightly as they ascend. The Mistress of Chaos is here!
@LadyRunic@BlueSky44: As Richard and Thalia walk, they'll spot Lyra with Navi walking down the corridor. Navi's voice is carrying: she is loud and excitable and also a bit of a know-it-all. Currently, the young child is listing off to Lyra all of the ways that it is possible to behead someone who has attacked you in your sleep. She is on way number twenty eight by the time that Richard is close enough to see her sparkly fairy wings. At least these ones are toys!
@FantasyChic: Wanda laughed a bit sadly. "Oh, in my time I am considered to be a terrorist - they fight to imprison me, to restrict my powers... Some call for my head," she mused. "My brother does not understand. He thinks that we can live in peace with those who would destroy us." Wanda then managed to cause one of them to implode, using her red magic as a shield of sorts to keep the pus like guts from hitting herself and Fleur. She wrinkled her nose, nodding in agreement. "This is awful. Two left. One for each of us."
@FantasyChic: Astrid looked like she was about to gag, seeing someone talk that way about her older brother. Halley, however, smiled as she found it cute. However, her smile faded in a moment. "Astrid, I need you to protect Myth," she said calmly. Runa raised an eyebrow and Halley shook her head slightly. "Someone is here who shouldn't be... who can't be..." The Asgardian mutant looked a bit terrified, Halley's hands shaking slightly.
"Who? Apollo?" Astrid scoffed.
Runa then paused for a moment, using her own Magyk for a moment. Her skin then paled. "Chthon - the Elder God of Chaos," she whispered. "Astrid, Halley, protect Myth. I will see to it that our unwelcome guest is removed. My son is getting married today and this changes nothing."
When: 8:30 PM - arrive by 8:15 PM on May 4th Where: Wizard Tower - Great Hall (First Floor) Who: Bruce Banner and Myth the Muse Ceremony:
Invocation and Dedication to Thor, God of Thunder (goat) - to summon the attention of the gods
Sword Presentation - the groom must present his bride with a recently recovered sword of his ancestors
Second Sword Presentation - the bride then gives the groom a sword that she had carried with her down the aisle. It does not need to be a familial relic (note: the bride must also wear a crown at all times)
Exchange of Finger Rings - the bride and groom recite vows and petition for a blessing from Thor. The rings are placed on the tip of the exchanged swords
Post Ceremony:
Bride Running - all guests will run from the Great Hall to the Auxiliary Hall where the feast has been set up. It has direct access to the courtyard. The group that arrives last has to serve spirits to the other group (i.e. bride's side v groom's side).We
Wedding Sword - when the bride arrives, the groom puts his sword on the threshold. He picks her up and carries her over it, so that way she cannot stumble.
Luck Test - once everyone is in the hall, the groom has to plunge his sword into either a supporting pillar or roof. The luck of the marriage is supposedly correlated to the depth of the scar he makes

Arya Rincewind
Location: The Palace - the Library -> Wizard Tower - Entrance Hall
She had not realized how wrong she had been about Cuyler.
She thought she had fallen in love with a man of principles, honor, compassion, and understanding. Yet now she knew why Rowland had been alone for all of those years, just as the ExtraOrdinary Wizard before him had been. No one could ever understand the vow that they made to the Castle and to its inhabitants. It pained her to hear that Cuyler did not think he was included - as if he did not breathe in the same air as the rest here, did not drink the same water, feel the same earth beneath his feet?
He was just a man after all - conceited and selfish, having very nearly succeeded in trapping Arya. To think that she had given him her amulet! She had been about to break her vow! And what for? A man who she could hardly stand to look at now? A lover who could not respect her boundaries and wishes, who forced her into a conversation when she was not yet ready? She took the necklace from her neck that Cuyler had given to her. It was a simple location transfer spell and by Magyk, the necklace appeared in Cuyler's hand.
"Goodbye," she said, not caring about her own health as she used Magyk once more to Transport herself back home. Her Sickenesse did not progress by some miracle as she appeared outside and then entered Wizard Tower, tears falling down her face as the Floor greeted her.
Myrus Silvers
Location: The Palace Boat Launch
Myrus looked a bit surprised again. Valda and Luna had never thought that he needed a bodyguard before. Even with everything that had happened, only the Queen and the Princess had gotten a personal guard. He was just the Prince after all. His only value to the throne was in his potential to marry a princess or noblewoman from another kingdom and bring about an alliance. If he were to die, no tears would be shed. Life would go on at the Castle.
The dark thoughts caused Myrus to look down for a moment, his arm aching from the self inflicted wounds he had made earlier. For a moment, Myrus was shocked. He never would have contemplated doing something like this a year ago - how different his life had been then... His mother was still alive, his sister was sane and not being wooed by an ass, and he didn't have this strange curse. Valda was not forced to rule as Queen. "Sure, we can go - I'd love to go with you, Luna," Myrus told her softly.
"Will uh... Amarantha and Lennox be joining us?" Myrus said, before he looked up at the sky. It was almost sunset and the wedding was due to start at sunset. "We probably should get going, too."
The Playground - Location Classified: October 24th, 2020 - 1:15 P.M.
@BlueSky44: ~will update the Quantum Realm once Blue returns~
@Kirah@Nallore: The kitchen is fairly quiet and uneventful for the moment. Most people had already gotten breakfast/lunch/whatever they liked to call their first meal of the day, so it would be a few hours before the place got busy. Nothing seems to be out of the ordinary, but among the leftovers Cass will find a box of cookies with Clint's name on them. Mm, they smell good, too.
@FantasyChic: In the hangar, Tinley has likely found just about the closest thing to peace and quiet. No one generally tends to go in there, unless they're stocking up and resupplying for a mission. But since Clint is off base for the day and they haven't gotten any intel, there isn't much of a reason for anyone to go and bother her.
As for Tempest, she will get an alert pinged to her that a proximity sensor went off outside of the Playground. For an underground base, it's more or less only able to be entered through a secret entrance above ground. She has the option to pull up a visual feed, which will show an image of this man. Facial recognition software identifies him as Casper Xavier Theriot. He has a minor criminal record, mostly drug related charges (possession and use, not distribution). It has a mutation on record as well, though it does not describe what it is exactly. At any rate, he seems to just be a harmless druggie.
Dominika Novikova
Location: The Playground - Shooting Range Skills: Metal Bending
Novikova blushed slightly as Maria complimented her hair. "Thanks - realized silver hair sticks out... Especially with all of the hate going around lately," she said with a bit of a thin smile. Tensions between mutants and humans were continuing to rise. Mutates and inhumans had an easier time of it, mostly because there were less of them and the ones that the public knew about tended to be high profile, like the Avengers. It was all too easy, on the other hand, to find a mutant criminal and point to them as a symbol. The Brotherhood helped loads with that.
"Yeah, maybe - might just be having an off day," Novikova said, holding her hand out. The air seemed to shimmer around the arrowhead, but it didn't move at all and instead, Novikova got a splitting headache for a second. It then faded away and she grimaced. "Maybe I should give it a rest for now, try again later..." Her words then trailed off as Maria brought up Sparky and Raynor. Truthfully, she only really cared about Sparky's survival. Raynor was more of an added bonus that she could live a full and happy life without, but she knew how important he was to Theresa.
"...I'm fine," she said, looking away.
Bonnie Chase
Location: The Playground - Bio-Engineering and Research Skills: N/A
"Mhmm," Bonnie replied, holding her head still. She kept on having to click and refocus the lens, as it was having a lot of trouble getting the contrast correct with the terrigen crystals. Of course, they looked more like dust or powder in this form but under the microscope, the crystalline structure was visible again. "Honestly, we ought to bring in an expert on materials on this," Bonnie mused. Unfortunately, they didn't have as many people left in S.H.I.E.L.D. as they would have liked. Bonnie's specialty was biochemistry, for example, and here she was, studying metals.
However, once she had the Raman focused, she set it up so it began to collect data. Standing up straight, she turned and looked at Harry. A bit of her felt guilty about the loss of his hand - but they all had lost things during their time at S.H.I.E.L.D. She had lost her husband. And every time she looked at Flynn, she felt a little bit of that guilt. It helped when he was shirtless, as she had a harder time thinking about James and the vows they had made to each other.
"It's against protocol to eat in the lab - especially when terrigen dust is around, you know," Bonnie pointed out to Harry, rolling her eyes a bit. "And I know that you know since I have on record that you passed your laboratory safety training quiz... So come on, either spit out the burrito or go to the kitchen." Sure, there were people on the team that wouldn't care if food was consumed in the lab - but Bonnie wasn't here to mess around. Dangerous substances meant no burritos.
I'm strongly in favor of detailed character sheets. I got my start RPing in Facebook Harry Potter RP groups, where all we really had was a picture, a name, house, brief bio, and a blood status. It was super rough and quick and it worked well there, since it was essentially one liners all the time and none of the plots actually connected together or lasted very long (I remember at one point, one of my characters was aged 10 years and had kids of his own, and at the same time, their friend they went to school with was still a 4th year.... But that's not really relevant to this lol).
But now that I'm older, I really crave really intricate and long lasting stories. I think that fleshed out CS's are really conducive for this. Even something as seemingly trivial as height has come up time and time again in RPs I've been in - such as a realization that one of my babies, Guin, is almost a foot shorter than her boyfriend. And for scars and tattoos, those can really tell a story all of their own. I have one character, Arya, whose scar has a lot of importance to her backstory - it really relates how she grew up.
But as messy and disorganized at this response is - I think the CS matches the RP. If you want something intense and well plotted out, then an in depth CS is a must. If you're just kicking around ideas in a sandbox and you aren't that invested in having things be rigorous or that it'll still be that same story in a month or so, then sure, go without a CS. I've had a lot of fun doing RP styles like that with friends just by text message for example.
As long as you're happy and you're having fun, do whatever works for you. What I enjoy won't always be what someone else enjoys.
Click Here to check out Agents of SHIELD: Age of Ultron! We are going strong and are beginning our second arc and would love to have some fresh blood! Please post in the OOC or contact @Morose or @BlueSky44 to apply!
Time Frame: October 24th, 2020 Rp Tags: Casual, Advanced, Large Group, Adventure, Fandom, Superhero, Fantasy, Secret Agents, Slice-of-Life, Romance, Drama, Politics, Dystopia, Apocalypse Type Of RP: An action-adventure RP centered around Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., taking place in the same universe as X-Men: Darkness Rising. Players will roleplay as agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., attempting to protect the world from threats that can defy understanding. Plots are at least partially character driven and will hit on several major storylines from the comics/TV program. Goal of the Current Arc: Prevent Ultron from destroying the world as we know it and save our friends stranded in the Quantum Realm. Age Requirements: 25+
Premise
In an unpredictable and chaotic world, we seek to control that which we do not understand; to grant ourselves immortality through preserving the past; to find ourselves. But there is a noble calling that only the bravest and the kindest rise to answer - to protect those who cannot defend themselves. These individuals have chosen to be humanity's first line of defense against whoever may wish to do us harm, sacrificing their lives so that way we can live to see another sunrise.
They have chosen to be a shield.
It has been two months since the team, under the leadership of Clint Barton and Tinley Abercrombie, took down the HYDRA held bank, Creed Financial. The loss of that capital has crippled HYDRA, forcing the fascist organization to seek out new allies. Latest intelligence indicates that HYDRA leadership has relocated to Germany and are planning an imminent strike against S.H.I.E.L.D. with a yet to be revealed new ally.
However, HYDRA is the least of the team's problems now. Two of their own, Agents Theresa Sparks and Raynor Blake, have been trapped in the Quantum Realm all of this time. There has been no sign of them still being alive, but Sci-Tech graduate Agent Dominika Novikova still holds out hope that they can be rescued. Inspired by a vision she had seen during the fight against Luminous at Creed Financial, she has been visiting renowned scientist Dr. Hank Pym, hoping that the long neglected Ultron project may be the key to bringing Sparky and Raynor home.
If only she knew the price...
S.H.I.E.L.D.
The Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement, and Logistics Division was founded in January of 1949 by Peggy Carter, Howard Stark, and Chester Philips. It absorbed the Strategic Scientific Reserve (SSR) - the Allies' deep science agency that was responsible for the creation of the serum that turned Steve Rogers into Captain America. Following the conclusion of the war and the defeat of HYDRA, S.H.I.E.L.D. continued to monitor the world for catastrophic threats, as individuals with abilities and superior technology became more and more commonplace. The age of heroes had just begun - but so came the rise of villains.
In short, S.H.I.E.L.D. often deals with alien technology, superpowered individuals, and events that boggle the senses. Despite the agency's success in protecting the world since its founding, its failure to prevent the alien invasion of New York in 2012 and then the Altsoba Massacre (see the RP Abandoned Hope) prompted a defunding of the agency. Its budget was limited significantly and then given to O.M.E.N., a rival US intelligence and military agency. Fortunately, after O.M.E.N. attempted to kill the X-Men while the Mutant Registration Act was being debated in Congress, the rival organization was shut down and S.H.I.E.L.D. saw its funding restored.
Recruitment for S.H.I.E.L.D. can be fierce. Recruits usually have a college degree, but it is not required with the exception of Science and Technology, where candidates need at least one PhD to enter the building. Very few agents are trained 'on the job' but there are some scenarios in which this is the case. Additionally, individuals can be recruited for various initiatives without progressing through the academy, such as the Avengers Initiative. Its current director is Nick Fury and its primary headquarters, the Triskelion, is located in Washington D.C.
For this roleplay, all agents will have gone through one of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s three academies. Each academy specializes in training recruits to become a certain type of agent. They all also have different entrance requirements. Students are not allowed to transfer between academies and retain their "placement" in graduation order - (i.e. if a second year at Communications transfers to Operations, they start over as a first year). It takes four years to graduate.
All cadets, regardless of their program, are required to take History of S.H.I.E.L.D. during their first year.
The S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy of Communications is the largest of the Academies. Its curriculum focuses on data analysis, with a majority of its cadets going into positions where they monitor threats S.H.I.E.L.D. has identified around the world. Other examples of activities include monitoring for suspicious activity and cyberterrorism. Communications interacts the most with the other two academies and tends to be the easiest to enter.
Phil Coulson is an alumnus of the Communications Academy.
Example Specialty Skills
Data Analysis
Intelligence Gathering
Foreign Language (i.e. Chinese, Russian, Spanish, French, Japanese,...)
Deduction
Computer Science
Hacking
Diplomacy
International Relations
Political Science
The S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy of Operations has the most aggressive program of the three school. To add to its formidable reputation, Operations also has the highest percentage of washouts due to the immense difficulty of the program. It isn't for the faint of heart. Specialists come from this program - one person who can effectively operate solo without back-up and get the job done. Field Agents are also trained here, although they integrate best into the structure of a team.
Melinda May is an alumnus of the Operations Academy.

Manipulation
Infiltration
Disguise
Information Extraction
The S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy of Science and Technology (often abbreviated to Sci-Tech) is the hardest academy to gain admission to. Each cadet has to have at least one PhD, with some having as many as two or three PhDs (although the fields of study tend to be incredibly similar). Students are prepared to assist S.H.I.E.L.D. through a scientific perspective, with most cadets ending up working in laboratories at S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters. Some, however, will be assigned to a mobile unit in the field.
Leo Fitz and Jemma Simmons are alumni of Sci-Tech.

Click Here to check out Agents of SHIELD: Age of Ultron! We are going strong and are beginning our second arc and would love to have some fresh blood! Please post in the OOC or contact @Morose or @BlueSky44 to apply!
Time Frame: October 24th, 2020 Rp Tags: Casual, Advanced, Large Group, Adventure, Fandom, Superhero, Fantasy, Secret Agents, Slice-of-Life, Romance, Drama, Politics, Dystopia, Apocalypse Type Of RP: An action-adventure RP centered around Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., taking place in the same universe as X-Men: Darkness Rising. Players will roleplay as agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., attempting to protect the world from threats that can defy understanding. Plots are at least partially character driven and will hit on several major storylines from the comics/TV program. Goal of the Current Arc: Prevent Ultron from destroying the world as we know it and save our friends stranded in the Quantum Realm. Age Requirements: 25+
Premise
In an unpredictable and chaotic world, we seek to control that which we do not understand; to grant ourselves immortality through preserving the past; to find ourselves. But there is a noble calling that only the bravest and the kindest rise to answer - to protect those who cannot defend themselves. These individuals have chosen to be humanity's first line of defense against whoever may wish to do us harm, sacrificing their lives so that way we can live to see another sunrise.
They have chosen to be a shield.
It has been two months since the team, under the leadership of Clint Barton and Tinley Abercrombie, took down the HYDRA held bank, Creed Financial. The loss of that capital has crippled HYDRA, forcing the fascist organization to seek out new allies. Latest intelligence indicates that HYDRA leadership has relocated to Germany and are planning an imminent strike against S.H.I.E.L.D. with a yet to be revealed new ally.
However, HYDRA is the least of the team's problems now. Two of their own, Agents Theresa Sparks and Raynor Blake, have been trapped in the Quantum Realm all of this time. There has been no sign of them still being alive, but Sci-Tech graduate Agent Dominika Novikova still holds out hope that they can be rescued. Inspired by a vision she had seen during the fight against Luminous at Creed Financial, she has been visiting renowned scientist Dr. Hank Pym, hoping that the long neglected Ultron project may be the key to bringing Sparky and Raynor home.
If only she knew the price...
S.H.I.E.L.D.
The Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement, and Logistics Division was founded in January of 1949 by Peggy Carter, Howard Stark, and Chester Philips. It absorbed the Strategic Scientific Reserve (SSR) - the Allies' deep science agency that was responsible for the creation of the serum that turned Steve Rogers into Captain America. Following the conclusion of the war and the defeat of HYDRA, S.H.I.E.L.D. continued to monitor the world for catastrophic threats, as individuals with abilities and superior technology became more and more commonplace. The age of heroes had just begun - but so came the rise of villains.
In short, S.H.I.E.L.D. often deals with alien technology, superpowered individuals, and events that boggle the senses. Despite the agency's success in protecting the world since its founding, its failure to prevent the alien invasion of New York in 2012 and then the Altsoba Massacre (see the RP Abandoned Hope) prompted a defunding of the agency. Its budget was limited significantly and then given to O.M.E.N., a rival US intelligence and military agency. Fortunately, after O.M.E.N. attempted to kill the X-Men while the Mutant Registration Act was being debated in Congress, the rival organization was shut down and S.H.I.E.L.D. saw its funding restored.
Recruitment for S.H.I.E.L.D. can be fierce. Recruits usually have a college degree, but it is not required with the exception of Science and Technology, where candidates need at least one PhD to enter the building. Very few agents are trained 'on the job' but there are some scenarios in which this is the case. Additionally, individuals can be recruited for various initiatives without progressing through the academy, such as the Avengers Initiative. Its current director is Nick Fury and its primary headquarters, the Triskelion, is located in Washington D.C.
For this roleplay, all agents will have gone through one of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s three academies. Each academy specializes in training recruits to become a certain type of agent. They all also have different entrance requirements. Students are not allowed to transfer between academies and retain their "placement" in graduation order - (i.e. if a second year at Communications transfers to Operations, they start over as a first year). It takes four years to graduate.
All cadets, regardless of their program, are required to take History of S.H.I.E.L.D. during their first year.
The S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy of Communications is the largest of the Academies. Its curriculum focuses on data analysis, with a majority of its cadets going into positions where they monitor threats S.H.I.E.L.D. has identified around the world. Other examples of activities include monitoring for suspicious activity and cyberterrorism. Communications interacts the most with the other two academies and tends to be the easiest to enter.
Phil Coulson is an alumnus of the Communications Academy.
Example Specialty Skills
Data Analysis
Intelligence Gathering
Foreign Language (i.e. Chinese, Russian, Spanish, French, Japanese,...)
Deduction
Computer Science
Hacking
Diplomacy
International Relations
Political Science
The S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy of Operations has the most aggressive program of the three school. To add to its formidable reputation, Operations also has the highest percentage of washouts due to the immense difficulty of the program. It isn't for the faint of heart. Specialists come from this program - one person who can effectively operate solo without back-up and get the job done. Field Agents are also trained here, although they integrate best into the structure of a team.
Melinda May is an alumnus of the Operations Academy.
Example Specialty Skills
Jack of All Trades (Unarmed Combat)
Jack of All Trades (Bladed Weapons)
Jack of All Trades (Guns)
Jack of All Trades (Projectile Weapons)
Foreign Language (i.e. Chinese, Russian, Spanish, French, Japanese,...)
Manipulation
Infiltration
Disguise
Information Extraction
The S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy of Science and Technology (often abbreviated to Sci-Tech) is the hardest academy to gain admission to. Each cadet has to have at least one PhD, with some having as many as two or three PhDs (although the fields of study tend to be incredibly similar). Students are prepared to assist S.H.I.E.L.D. through a scientific perspective, with most cadets ending up working in laboratories at S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters. Some, however, will be assigned to a mobile unit in the field.
Leo Fitz and Jemma Simmons are alumni of Sci-Tech.

Follow All Forum Rules
Communication is Key
The world is controlled by the GM - All NPC's, weather, what you see, what you find, what happens, everything. So if it isn't in my post, it didn't happens
If you wish your character to have "connections" please run it by the GM first to ensure it is acceptable and isn't already being done by another.
Randomization and LLA are used in this RP - Please refer to Lady Amalthea's tutorial for a description if you are new to this concept
Posting Habits
Each post must be backed up to the back up forum or your counter will still be runner. GM will provide link to the back up forum.
Minimal of 2 well developed paragraphs per post
Must IC post once every 7 days (It is your job to keep up with when you need to post. Your last post hits Day 8 and I remove you from the RP.)
I do not accept no inspiration as a reason not to post
You may NOT copy and paste something from someone else's post and add it to your own. This includes dialogue.
You may NOT edit a post without getting permission from the GM.
If you are in a case and you take more than 24 hours to respond without notice three times, you will be removed from the RP.
Keep up with all IC and OOC posts
No word in IC or OOC after 7 days is grounds for removal from the RP.
If you need additional time to post you must notify the Gm by day 6 of your counter. Extensions will not be granted after that.
No spamming OOC
Under Extras in the CS mention your favorite Marvel storyline so I know you at least skimmed this...
Minimal 2 posts between your last
The GM reserves the right to make decisions as to how much additional time, if any, will be granted to post if the forum is glitching. A week to post is plenty of time even if the forum glitches a day or two. But usually, I do tend to be pretty generous about it...
Collabs may not be started after your day 5 counter
If you are collabing and your partner vanishes or does not reply, you must finish the collab and post it before the timer runs out
If your collab partner vanishes you are granted temporary minimal bunnying privileges to complete the collab
If your collab partner vanishes, you need to make the Gm aware so it does not count against you
Know your personal posting limitations before applying to join
If you cannot post, you must contact the GM and make me aware, you will be granted extra time to post (do not take advantage of this) - I realize real life comes first but you know your schedule better than anyone, if you join it is your responsibility to keep up and not hold up the rest of the Rpers. I will work with you, just let me know what's going on
Spots are not first come first serve
Gm will review completed CS first

Character deaths will happen, no one is safe - it will be randomized and you will be notified when your death approaches. (This does not mean you are out of the RP, it will mean however you need to make a new character should you wish to continue - I recommend having Back Up Characters Ready)
I am looking for long term highly dedicated Rpers.

@FantasyChic: Luke nodded, about to go ring up his things and he brushed by Leighton slightly. As soon as he touched her, his entire body seemed to turn blue from extreme cold. He was shivering to an extreme and he dropped to the ground, looking like he had been exposed to the elements in the North Pole or something for hours. A helpful employee walked by the aisles and screamed, looking at Leighton. "HELP! A MUTIE ATTACKED THIS MAN!" the employee screamed, before booking it at a run as far away from Leighton as she could.
@FantasyChic: Reeva smiled at Anastasia. She knew a lot about the younger mutant, since the Hellfire Club kept tabs on the most powerful mutants that they could find. "You know, you have real potential, Anastasia. My girls and I make it our business to identify the strongest mutants - the ones destined to rule. I work with a lot of people, but very few of them have what it takes to shape a nation - to become royalty. I think you're one of those people." Reeva then grabbed a file and handed it over to Anastasia. "You have to be bored - everything has been so easy for you. Nothing has really presented a challenge... But I think this just might, if you're willing to do this." Inside the file were records on the Mutant Underground - not just the Washington D.C. branch, but all of them nationwide.
Veil
Location: Apartment Complex - Balcony Skills: Force Fields
"Slight problem with that plan, Spark Plug, is that all cars these days have batteries in them - if you EMP the area, then the car battery is done for and we can't drive anywhere," Havok pointed out a bit sarcastically. He wasn't exactly the nicest person around and the longer they were there, the most frustrated he felt with the Purifiers. They had gotten people to safety and instead of engaging them, Veil was ordering a retreat. Then they would have to do the same thing again next week - rescue people, run from Purifiers, rinse and repeat. "We can't keep running. We need to make a stand."
"It is not worth risk," Colossus admonished Havok. "Besides - how will it look if we attack humans?"
Havok huffed slightly. He hated being lectured on optics and Veil pinched her nose again. Sapphire was being silent, something that was both nice and annoying. The Purifiers weren't willing to wait around and they aimed their weapons up at them, firing them off at the group of mutants up on the balcony. Veil threw her hands out, creating as many shields as she could but there were cracks in them. A bullet grazed Havok and the hula hooping mutant retaliated with some fire of his own, his hula hoops of doom and destruction knocking down three Purifiers below.
One of the bullets hit Veil's shield, bouncing to the ground harmlessly below. The next one, however, went through one of the small cracks and hit Spark Plug in the chest, inches away from her heart. "NO!" Veil screamed. Spark Plug was still alive - but barely. Another bullet then almost hit Sapphire, but the ice manipulation queen managed to freeze it in its path.
"Havok, get these fuckers! We need to get Spark Plug to a clinic!"
"Shit!" Havok cursed. There was only one mutant friendly clinic in the area and luckily, it was just about five blocks away. The problem would be getting there without the Purifiers finding them.
Sunshine
Location: Millennium Plaza - the Sewer Skills: N/A
Sunshine bit her lip, ready to throw measles at whoever was down there with them in the sewers when a small group of people stepped into the light. There was a girl with purple hair, alien green eyes, and a diamond on the side of her face. A step in front of her was a man with a scarred face and an odd eyepatch of sorts covering his left eye. Sunshine's eyes widened, she had heard rumors of a community of mutants living underneath the city but she had never found any evidence that they existed.
"You're the Morlocks!" Sunshine exclaimed, her voice uncomfortably echoing through the tunnels. The green glow around her hands faded away and the man chuckled a bit, looking at James and Gray. He assumed that they were Sunshine's brothers of some sorts. Most mutants tended to travel in families - even if they were not families by blood.
"Apparently we're famous," the woman mused with a slight smile.
"So it would seem, Blink," the man agreed. He looked at the trio. "My name is Erg. I am the leader of the Washington D.C. Morlocks," he introduced himself. "And if you like, you may join our community."
"What happened to your face?" Sunshine asked.
"I took the mark," Erg said simply, before he started to lead them through the tunnels. Blink winked a bit at them, motioning for them to follow. "Come on, we can get you all some food and a nice bath. What are your names? Not your human names but - y'know, your mutant ones."
"Sunshine."
"Oh, you have light powers? You'll like my friend Glow then."
"Nope. Not at all." Sunshine then shrugged slightly. People made that mistake all of the time, but she liked her name. Her friends had used it and it was what she identified with - Electra just didn't seem to describe her as well as the ironic Sunshine did. "You guys coming?" she then asked James and Gray. At the very least, hiding with the Morlocks for a few hours would keep the police from finding them. Sunshine was also incredibly hungry and not one to pass up a chance at free food.
Having scrubbed himself clean and kept a close watch on Jamie, helping his son out as well, Jack was simultaneously relieved and anxious. He knew that it made sense for the guys to get cleaned up in one place and the girls in another - but he didn't like letting Tatiana out of his sight. The last time that had happened, Newnan fell and he was separated from her for a year. He missed the birth of their son and he didn't want to ever miss another second of her life or Jamie's. As they were led into the conference room and Jack spotted a few of the amenities, he couldn't help but smile slightly. God, he missed VHS.
He felt more at ease as he spotted Tatiana, sitting down next to her and holding Jamie. This entire thing felt so incredibly surreal, he almost wasn't sure what to think. His eyes glanced over Tatiana's paper, noting the responses she put down for herself and Jamie, but he didn't say anything. He did however smile slightly at what she had put down for race. He hadn't expected that and if he wasn't hoping desperately they'd be allowed into the community, he would have been tempted to write down First Place 500 Meter Dash 2002 for his own answer.
Once she finished, he gently passed her Jamie and started to fill out his own.

Beatrice was sticking fairly close to Thalia, observing the area as they were led out of the locker room. For the most part, it reminded her a little bit of Juvi - the nicer, upscale ones that she had been to. Definitely not the ones in Justice. The activities that were outdated, the showers, the regimented routine... Even the use of aliases reminded her a little bit of the nicknames they had given each other. She hated being called Double Decker - but that's what they had called her in juvi.
"I hope you still have your writing hand," Beatrice whispered to Thalia with a slight smirk. It would be incredibly amusing if Thalia had to use her non-writing hand for this and ended up turning in a mess of scribbles. She doubted that they would want Beatrice to fill it out for her and Beatrice had no intention of doing so. The terrible handwriting she would hopefully get to see from peaking over at Thalia's paper was its own reward.
