Dulga Tarata

Dulga listened to Mako tell her what she knew. The man, her mother's killer, was a man named Kensai. Sword Saint. Dulga's eyes narrowed at this name. He was no saint and for someone who wanted to become a great swordsman, what business did he have to go after her father? he was strong, certainly, but he was no warrior. Not by choice. None of this made sense. But then Mako said that she had met him before while she was still a thief. Then things started to fall together. Dulga had already come to a conclusion by the time Mako had finished speaking, and Dulga looked furious. All that Dulga needed to confirm it was when Mako said she had stolen a sword. That damn sword that started all of this. "You... You're the one who stole the Murakumo-no-Tsurugi? My father's masterpiece!?" Dulga's voice rose as she took steps towards Mako.

In a moment of weakness Dulga slammed her four fists into Mako's desk, breaking through the table. She didn't seem to care. "My father has known nothing but shame since that sword was stolen! His pride and joy, the best thing he's ever made, and you're the one who stole it!? Worse still you left it in the hands of a madman who has killed countless heroes, including... Including my mother..." Dulga went through so many emotions at this moment. Confusion, anger, sadness, just to name a few. Dulga covered her face as she started to cry. She tried to stop but all of these pent up emotions were just too much for her to handle. Ever since her mother died Dulga had just.... Stopped feeling. Emotions ebbed and flow around her. Even when she felt annoyed or embarrassed they were always just faked, because she felt she was suppose to do something. That was what her mother taught her. But hearing about Kensai and knowing Mako's involvement in all of it, there was a certain relief in Dulga that she couldn't beleive.

She was getting closer to achieving vengeance.

"I need to know everything. Why was he after my father's sword? What do you know about who he is, how he fights? Do you know where he's at right now? Who does he have as allies? What are his quriks and abilities?" Tears were still streaming down Dulga's face. She was so close now. Dulga can't let this chance slip out of her fingers.

Dulga Tarata

Dulga had stayed after class to help Mako clean up, even getting brooms and mops to clean up the crushed chalk and coffee stains. Mako's words about Dulga's ability to get under her enemy's skin made her feel just a little bit better. Admittedly Dulga wasn't really too good at the "socializing" thing, as she always worried that she'd somehow annoy people just by the way she talks. But Dulga supposed that if she could goad villains into making mistakes because of it, she'd try to hone that skill. Somehow. Her face even grew a touch pink and a little bit warmer when she heard Mako call her one of the top students of her class. Compliments wasn't something that Dulga got a lot, at least not serious ones. Even her own parents tend to only give her reports about her abilities about things like her mistakes and flaws. The closest thing to a compliment she's really received was with her mother, when she would say things like "Good shot" or "Nice hit". It was a good feeling.

Dulga would be the last student to leave Mako's class, staying behind with the teacher. Dulga did get her own things ready to go but before she left she looked towards the thief. Once more Dulga's expression returned to their neutral state, but her eyes had a hint of fire. There was still one unfinished piece of business she had to attend to. Dulga didn't waste words. "Do you know about the swordsman who killed my mother?" Dulga couldn't be certain if that question on Mako's quiz was just a coincidence or purposely put down there to tell Dulga something. Unconsciously to even Dulga, it was that question that made her act rather aggressively to Mako. It made her think that somehow Mako was an accomplice or at least knew more than what Dulga knew about the situation. She had no proof of course, and that was perhaps one of those few moments were Dulga's own emotions undermine the girl and influences her decision without being obvious.

"I'm not angry at you. But I do have questions. Please answer them." Dulga had unconsciously positioned herself in front of the door. It was just a hunter's instinct when stalking prey; block the exits. And while Mako could always just dive out of the window, the teacher should know very well how Dulga deals with windows and people near them. "As a teacher of Villain Psyche, and a former villain yourself, I know you know who I'm talking about. I... I need to know more about him."

Dulga Tarata

Even with all of Dulga's planning she had no control of outside forces. She knew that her plan wasn't fool proof either. She could easily see Mako avoiding all of her attacks, and frankly Dulga actually had to rely on some of the other students holding her down just so Dulga could get a hit in. But the one who managed to finally keep Mako in place was none other than Roy. The boy who had gotten defeated by Mina. Probably one of the few boys in class that Dulga didn't have a negative opinion on, and he seemed to be much more competent that his battle had shown. Even if he didn't move until all of this had happened, Dulga couldn't fault him for doing the smart thing and staying out of her way. With Mako stopped Dulga stood just a few feet away from her teacher. Rising her hand towards Mako, Dulga shaped it into a gun, cocking the imaginary hammer back. "Bang."

It seemed like the lesson was over. Mako complimented Dulga for her strategies, even though Dulga only managed to splash Mako with her coffee. That being said, she, Yoshiro, and Roy would all get detention. Dulga especially, not only for attacking Mako, but also throwing two students out of the window and reading confidential school papers. Normally Dulga would object, however upon mentioning the latter charges Dulga kept her tongue still. True she felt rather annoyed that Mako had essentially tricked them into getting into trouble. However it was entirely of Dulga's own initiative to throw students out of the class and to steal a glance at the student papers. She'd serve her time. "Yes sensei." Wiping the dust off her hands and cloak Dulga helped move a few desks back. When Tomoe decided to get a sneak attack on Mako the tall girl signed and went over to Tomoe. "Stop that. Lesson's over. Unless you want trouble." Dulga reached out to pull Tomoe off Mako so that she could get to work getting her things back together. Looking at the thermos on the floor Dulga also picked that up with an extra hand and looked slightly flustered. "Sorry about the Thermos."

@Gordian Nought Sounds good to me, though how would you communicate this with the group? Should I roll Handle Animal to get an idea of what Brannor is trying to communicate?

Dulga Tarata

Just as Dulga expected Kaida went after Dulga as she read her paper. She debated trying to dodge Kaida or maybe even counter her, but as she saw Mako moving towards her Dulga decided to take advantage of it. She stood steadfast as Kaida ran into her and took the papers out of her hands, freeing up Dulga’s hands. ”Sorry. I'll make it up for you later.” It wasn't long after that Mako landed next to the six-armed giantess looking very annoyed. It was a hostile look; an intimidating one. Not like a bear's roar or a wolf’s howl, but the scold and steady Eyes of a killer. Reminded Dulga a lot of her mother.

Before Dulga could react Kenichi went into the attack, calling out his move and warning the others to run. This just got a blank stare from Dulga. ”You say run.” Mako grabbed the thermos and it started to heat up. It actually hurt quite badly and Dulga was about to drop it. However always one to take advantage of every opportunity no matter the cost Dulga gritted her teeth through the pain.

With her monstrous strength Dulga snapped the thermos in half with just a single hand. Dulga then tossed a cloud of chalk at Mako to hide her movements. The space between them soon became cloudy and white, making it difficult to see anything for just a moment. But that moment was all Dulga needed as she splashed Mako with the coffee from her thermos, as well as throwing away the hot piece of metal. While the cloud was still up Dulga charged forward, even with Kaida in tow. One hand was sent outstretched to strike at Mako if she was ahead. But the others went in different directions to intercept Mako if she tried to maneuver around Dulga. To the sides, above, even below between Dulga’s legs. And if Mako had jumped back, she'd find another surprise when her coffee cup, still full of cold coffee, was flung straight ahead of Dulga. In these narrow student desks there weren't many other places for the teacher to go without trying to hop onto a desk.

Dulga Tarata

Mako met Dulga's challenge, though the six-armed giant was well aware that Mako may have already seen through her intentions. But Dulga would just have to take advantage of every little thing she can, from the surroundings to what other students too. And most importantly how Mako would react to Dulga. Maybe even some real nasty plots if she wants a chance to land a hit on Mako. Dulga continued to stare down her teacher as their glares meeting one another. Mako seemed eager to play but Dulga's eyes were plain and stoic. To her there was no joy or excitement for what she's about to do. Unlike some others, Dulga radiated no "killing intent". She simply acts like an unfeeling machine. When Yukari threw Mamoru at Mako, that was when Dulga acted.

First thing she did was grab a handful of chalk from the front of the class with her rear hands. As she hide them inside her cloak Dulga crushed them into a fine powder but didn't use them just yet. Dulga took a step towards Mako's, grabbing the coffee, thermos, and a few of the papers some of the other students had written. Dulga never took her eyes off Mako as she used her multiple hands to not only drink the teacher's coffee, but also flip through some of the papers that the other students had written about how they'd react in Mako's questions. She just glanced through the papers from the corner of her eyes, walking back towards the student desks. When she spotted the one she wanted Dulga stopped and took a big sip from Mako's coffee.

Dulga held a paper out for everyone to see, at least anyone close enough to read it. But especially close enough for Mako to recognize it. It was Kaida's paper. Hearing that Kaida for some reason wanted to keep her paper a secret, a secret that Mako obliged, Dulga was going to recite some of it in order to goad Mako into coming after Dulga. Unlike the others Dulga wasn't trying to play defensive, but to make Mako "react" to Dulga's actions. Heroes who just wait for trouble to happen will be too late to stop it. By taking the first strike, Dulga can set up the situation however she wants. As Dulga read off Kaida's paper, she made a note of where Kaida was sitting at in case she reacts. "Kaida Baeumont. Scenario 1. 'I would try to reason reason with the man. Explain that if he harms the woman it would only get worse. Slowly working my way towards them. Explain more that he puts the weapon down and walks away I would put in a good word with the judge. Also offer to be his hostage.'" Said in an entirely stony demeanor. Dulga just kept a gaze upon Mako to see her reaction. Dulga also drank the rest of Mako's hot coffee and was surprised when she tasted the cold coffee in Mako's thermos. "You have poor taste sensei."

The Inhospitable Expanse

"Oh what the hell!" Navera screamed when the Halion pointed her blade at her. Sure, Navera was mostly lying, but this was completely unnecessary. Navera was honestly fearful for her life however, since even with her assassination skills, she wasn't going to try to fight this beast in a cramp escape pod. Fortunately it seemed like the other survivors also thought what the Halion was doing was completely foolish too. And she even accused Navera of somehow being the cause of all of this. Navera wouldn't even know how to pull something like that off, even if she could remember how she got here in the first place. "Are you daft or is that just normal for your kind? If I had anything to do with whatever reason we're here, I would have at least made sure not to be in the same pod as a halion barbarian! Your willful ignorance is no substitute for the truth you primitive savage."

Navera made sure to move far away from the Halion as the others saved her from the monster. She was grateful that some could put aside racial tensions to focus more about the issue at hand. Though she was worried about how she was going to deal with the Halion once they do land. No doubt she'll keep trying to kill Navera for whatever poorly explained reason would justify her blood lust. As Navera moved to her seat she could feel her dagger hidden on her person. At least she knew she wasn't completely defenseless, knowing that it was still coated in her paralytic venom. And even if the Halion was submerged in stone, Navera knew how to handle her knife to find an armor's weak spot. Their arrogance in assuming that their armor was impenetrable would only be their downfall when Navera's blade finds her way.

"I don't care where we go, I just want to get out of this deathtrap."

D&D 5e - Hoard of the Dragon Queen

Kyra glanced down at the deadman when Brannor mentioned they didn't have the time. Perhaps he was right. Kyra had simply said this to satisfy her own anger. Try to show her enemy some measure of respect to justify her ruthless killing. But it mattered very little now, he was merely another deadman in these woods. Kyra imagined that there will be many more to come. When Brannor had asked what the mercinary had said Orchid explained it in a few words, followed by Parum giving a much longer explanation about how they could infiltrate the cult. She basically said everything that Kyra would have thought of, minus taking Brannor as a prisoner. Kyra didn't like the idea of keeping of their front line warriors bound and defenseless, certainly not against these cultists. Though Kyra did knew a few knot techniques she could use to "Bind" Brannor's hands, but that he could easily escape from. They were meant to hold animals, but against a human with opposable fingers, the knots would be easy to undo even from behind one's back.

"Aside from posing Brannor as a prisoner it seems like a good idea. We have no idea what we're facing yet so we need to find this camp and scout it out. Get an idea of the enemy's forces, how many of them are true believers and who is just a sell sword, as well as where the dragon hatchery is located. Finding Leosin is also vital. If he is as strong as the monks say he is I'm sure that he is still alive. He may be in danger though. I'm... Not confident about playing the part of a cultist or mercenary. Perhaps I should be the prisoner instead? Brannor isn't wearing the same armor as he wore when he fought Cyanwrath, and he can hide his features with his cloak and hood. I also know a few knot techniques used to hold animals. But against someone with fingers, I can easily undo my own knots and use magic to fight if we are in danger."

Dulga Tarata

Dulga agreed with Mako's assessment. She knew that she can't just shoot everything that is troublesome. It's just the first thing that came to mind. Dulga didn't like making complicated solutions to simple problems, and as her mother always says, guns are the dumbest tools you can so. So use dumb tools to solve dumb problems. "And that's why we don't have a mailmail anymore." Dulga smirked to herself as she listened to what Mako had to say about what everyone else wrote. Most of it was pretty vague but Dulga had a good idea of what everyone must have written by what Mako had said. Kenichi probably wrote very one-sided solutions that didn't take into account the villain's motives. Mamoru seemed to think that she's working in a team. Kaida likely relied on her quirk which would have turned her into that Draconian form that Dulga saw earlier. She understood why Kaida would be hesitant to show it, even against enemies. Roy probably wrote very stereotypical heroic reactions. Dulga didn't know who Yoshiro was up until now, so whatever he wrote was probably more thought out than what Dulga wrote. Jett seemed to have relied solely on his quirk for most of his answers. Tomoe... Dulga was surprised that Tomoe was even awake to write anything. Though she was asleep right now. Ezra likely disregarded any civilian casualties to go straight after the villain. Kamina just straight up murders them, which Dulga had to admit, she'd also likely do even if she wasn't using rubber bullets. Another girl came in, Yukari Yozakura. Dulga didn't know her.

Mako claims that by the end of twelve weeks, they'd have much different answers. Dulga certainly hoped so; while she might be as thick-headed as a boar, Dulga did want to learn and figure out new, better solutions to tackling these sort of issues. Which made the next thing Mako said catch Dulga off guard. She wants the students to try and hit her. Dulga knew this wasn't going to be as simple as going up to Mako and slugging her. Not only are they likely to get into trouble if they managed to, but Dulga was almost certain that no one here could land a hit on Mako. She may have been a thief and a burglar instead of a front-line fighter, but it took many professional heroes to lay a trap and take her on directly. Dulga doubts that even if everyone in this class worked together, they'd be able to put a scratch on her. Not yet at least.

Dulga did debate taking out a rifle and shooting at Mako, but she dismissed that idea. Not only would that get Dulga into loads of trouble she'll likely miss anyways. Trying to shoot Mako at point-blank when she can obviously see Dulga aiming at her was stupid. No, Dulga had to try something else. Something... Villainous. Lacing her good hands together Dulga did think about how to approach this. Obviously Mako wanted everyone to try to think like villains, not only to understand them, but to predict their methods. Dulga stared at Mako and tried to get a read on her, figure out what she was thinking. Mako was obviously quite confident in her abilities if she thinks she could avoid everyone's attempt to catch her. Surely she knew most, of not everyone's abilities and how they'd use them. But what Mako might not know is how they think, their tactics and their methods. One thing was for certain, this wasn't an solution Dulga could solve just by shooting Mako.

But she had an idea.

Without saying a word Dulga stood up and walked towards the back of the room, right behind Mamoru. It was a window seat. The window was locked but that hardly concerned Dulga as she broke the lock and opened the window wide. She took a long, deep breath, just long enough for everyone, including Mako, to notice what Dulga was doing. Then she turned to Mamoru. "Take care of the others." Dulga then took one hand, picked up Mamoru by the collar, and then threw her out of the window. Dulga didn't take her eyes off Mako the entire time she was doing it, and she started walking towards Tomoe next.

Belwyn city of Gangs

Selene

Appearance:


Name:
Selene

Age:
27

Gender:
Female

Race:
Werewolf

Personality:
Selene loves the thrill of a hunt, whether it’s stalking prey through a dark alleyway or flagging them down in the heat of battle. A woman of both simple and refined tastes, she’s above the petty power struggles that perminate the streets, but she does enjoy a spot of bloodsport every now and again. Selene is a woman whose interest mainly lies in changing up the status quo, and once change has been made, she’ll already be hard at work sowing the seeds of discord in the future. Selene loves nothing more than than a plan comes together.

Bio:
Born in the Falling Star tribe, Selene always wanted more from her hunts than to just kill her prey. Her people were primitive, often relying solely on their claws, fangs, and the occasional weapon. They only survived for so long due to their recluse and and rarity. But Selene wanted more. So she set off at a young age to explore the world outside of her tribe’s hunting ground. She learned a lot, both good and bad, but each experience had made her stronger for it. Soon she arrived to the city of Belwyn where her story really gets a start. At first she was still a young, 20 something lycanthrope who just figured if she kept swinging she’d win. But after she got tangled up with a nasty pack of humans, Selene learned just how different the city was from life in the wilds and so she adapted.

She started to fight smarter. No more roaring and them charging. She stalked, she spied, she lied, and she stole. She learned how to set things up until eventually Selene doesn’t even need to do anything to finish off her prey. And of course, she got better at fighting. She also learned how to handle cars and other vehicles and really liked it. Far faster than anything she could achieve on foot, at least in her human form. Eventually Selene managed to get herself a nice little place to rest up at between jobs, and now looks forward to the new war on the horizon to make a name for herself.

Gang affiliation or Other affiliations:
Currently hired by the Choppers as an enforcer.

Stuff:
Silversheen - Selene’s glaive made of mithril, which has the properties of silver but much lighter and durable. It’s her favorite weapon to use in a fight when she isn’t just tearing people apart with her claws.

Luna - Selene’s motorbike. Built to be able to go fast and take tight turns. Selene can handle her baby well enough to do a 180 turn without a drop in speed.

Magic:
Wolf Form - Selene can transform into a large, ten foot tall wolf tough enough to take on heavy tanks, or a hybrid form that isn’t as tough but stronger and more durable than Selene’s regular form. Or, she can just transform her hands into razor sharp claws, allowing her to rip apart most people and even through armor like a chainsaw through plywood.

Other:
