Omega Man

Double Dragon

“Was he that angsty before becoming a superhero?” Centurion asked after Jay stepped out of the HQ.

“He used to be in the Wolfpack, before his dad got killed.” Will commented.

There was an awkward silence to kill all awkward silences. Centurion didn’t know these kids personally, only that they were locals who were given power tied to the Golden Dragon. Centurion wasn’t a great detective, but the way the young hero in front of him just spoke he could tell that the two Dragons were related somehow. He had to do something to ease the tension…

“So… Dragon 1… Dragon 2?” Centurion asked wondering what to call Will.

“There’s a group on the ‘net calling me Blaze…” Will commented as Centurion sat in front of the large window at his monitoring station.

“Well… Blaze… what’ll it be? Or do I need to ask?” Centurion asked.

“Yeah… I’m going to the retro arcade.” Blaze replied getting himself hyped.

“I didn’t have the chance to ask the other Dragon….” Centurion began saying before Will corrected him.

“Firebrand.” The younger Dragon stated.

“…okay, do YOU want company? My drones are long range now and Midtown shouldn’t be beyond their limits. I can be another pair of eyes.” Centurion explained.

Minutes Later, Midtown…

It was at the bottom of a large hill, on the end of a shopping mall long past its prime. There was a creek behind it, and the mall itself was off of a major highway. However the pavement was cracked and the parking lot was large and vacant of any cars except for on the far side of the building. There was still one discount beer and tobacco store willing to attempt to do business. The employees and customers are usually the ones calling in the reports of the lizard creature near the arcade. When Will arrived the drone was still a few minutes behind him. Through a crack in some wood covering the windows the Battletoad called Rash prepared himself for a fight. He wondered why the guy in the fancy suit was just standing around outside.

“I’m not waiting for your backup to get here!” Rash screamed, leaping towards the Dragon themed hero with a Big Bad Boot attack. Mid-air the Battletoad’s foot morphed into a giant steel toed boot with spikes and caught the hero off his guard.

13 – Blaze [-2 for Rash’s Sig Move]
15 – Rash

“What the…” Will said out loud, picking himself up off of the busted pavement. Centurion’s drone finally hit the scene.

The Toad’s arms morphed together to form a double bladed battle axe and came down with another strike. If not for the Dragon’s enhanced attributes and durability he would’ve already been done for.

12 – Blaze [-1 for Rash’s attack]
15 – Rash

“Where are the Topians?! And what have you done with my Battletoad bros?!” Rash questioned, as Will attempted to get his wits about him. It wasn’t every day that a guy got tossed around by a six foot tall frog man.

“Maybe I was just here for the retro arcade…” Blaze muttered grabbing the Toad’s ankle and flying into the sky. Within moments he threw him to the pavement, unsurprisingly the amphibian bounced.

12 – Blaze
14 – Rash [-1 for being thrown]

“Retro? How long was I trapped in that game?!” Rash questioned, looking around at all the bits of newer technology sprinkled in the city. The flying cars, the large hologram billboards, it was a lot for the teenage hero to take in.

“I don’t know what a Topian is, or what you’re talking about… but I think we got off on the wrong foot.” Will said extending his hand to help the Battletoad to his feet.

Double Dragon

If anybody is watching this and would like to play as a villain in this DD universe give us a yell. It's been pretty slow moving but we're trying to take our time crafting the world around our Dragons. We mostly talk in Discord since it's just the two of us for now, otherwise the OOC would be more active...

Double Dragon

The red clad Dragon watched as his cousin took out the hulking brute with ease. This was the second time they’d dealt with this Abobo family of muscle heads since becoming superheroes. The yellow skinned enemy on the ground remained and citizens of Sundown City began to gather around what had just taken place. Cars passed them by on the streets, as well as flying overhead. Thankfully for the boys they could fly higher than the futuristic cars were allowed to.

“You gonna wait around for the cops? If so I’m gonna go ahead and fly to Centurion’s HQ…” Will stated as the flashing lights of the local law enforcement approached. “We really need code-names. I don’t know what to call you in front of a crowd.”

"Yeah, about that..." Jay said in response to the line about code-names, "...It kind of looks like some people on social media are already calling us something." but he didn't say anything else aloud. Instead he used his phone to send a quick text message. Apparently, they're calling me Firebrand. Guess they already must think I'm the rebellious one. Lmao.

The employees of the jewelry store had come around the corner, as well as more civilians who witnessed the attempted heist. A little boy holding his mother’s hand in the crowd asked the two cousins in costumes about the Golden Dragon.

“Are you the Golden Dragon’s kids?” the boy who wore a cartoon superhero t-shirt asked.

Jay seemed more concerned with the brute on the ground than he did the crowd. Will leaned down and addressed the boy.

“He’s not our dad, but he was an inspiration to us both.” He said with a smile as the child’s expression perked up.

The authorities were on the scene now and came through the crowd. Sterling Shephard of the Channel 17 News team was also on his way through the people with a camera drone in tow behind him. The boys didn’t know exactly what they did to piss this news guy off, but he had serious beef with them for some reason. They gave each other a look and both took to the skies in an instant with an energy trail behind each of them mirroring the look of a serpentine dragon. The Double Dragons flew through the city darting between skyscrapers and dodging flying vehicles, only to see that the city wasn’t in any peril at the moment. From behind the boarded up windows of an abandoned or rundown retro arcade an amphibious hand pulled away a broken piece of wood to get a better look at the flying heroes. Across town, back in the flooded zone, Centurion watched the skyline of the city from his HQ.

Positioned on top of one of the larger skyscrapers on the eastside, Centurion’s base was composed of what was left from his civilian life and his original base of operations. The whole thing had a very sleek and sci-fi look to it. There was technology like it in the city here and there, but sixty percent of the city was still pretty gritty and worn down. It was imperceptible to the naked eye thanks to hard light holographics giving it a much more rundown and dilapidated look like other buildings throughout the city. When going outside to check on things he usually threw a tattered cloak and hood over himself to better blend into the grime projections. He did this as he met the boys outside on the roof.

“I JUST saw the text about the code names… apparently there’s one camp calling me Blaze and another group calling me Inferno. Oooh, Marian just texted…” Will began saying as they approached Centurion in his cloak.

Centurion looked down around the base of the building where the lower levels were still flooded to make sure there were no crocodiles or self-proclaimed Kings.

Multi-Interest Check of Many Interests (Marvel Edition)

.... maybe this is why I never try Marvel RPs often LOL

Multi-Interest Check of Many Interests (Marvel Edition)

I've already been thinking more about the Spiderverse idea, different Spider-folks, etc. I've got more ideas for an enemy too, so the Hydro-Man thing isn't set in stone.

Multi-Interest Check of Many Interests (Marvel Edition)

Hello again. It’s me… the guy with all of the superhero and 80’s/90’s cartoon inspired RPs. It recently dawned on me just how long it’s been since I made an RP a Marvel RP. It’s been somewhere between five and six years since I got one to an OOC/IC! So to remedy that here’s a few ideas I’d like to put out there to try and get a group of players behind, two Marvel and one DC… wait, I know I said ‘Marvel RP’ earlier just hear me out on that last idea.

The New Warriors – This is basically Marvel’s answer to the Teen Titans, however none of the heroes were another hero’s sidekick. Staying true to form, Night Thrasher will approach our heroes to form a new team in a 90’s influenced version of the Marvel U. to deal with a new menace in Brooklyn… the White Queen aka Emma Frost. I’ve got a spin on Kid Nova prepped for this one. Reworked canons and originals welcome, they just have to fit into the Marvel U.

Spiderverse – I’m still coming up with the finer points, because the newest Spiderverse movie makes it seem like Spidey 2099 is the villain in the trailers and that makes me feel some type of way. Like my last RP I’ll craft a Spider-person in the multiverse to gather a team of Spider-folk for a mission on one of the many alternate Earths in the Multiverse. I’m thinking Hydro-Man may take control of a major portion of an Earth’s ocean… or something. I mean… it’s gotta be BIG for a bunch of web warriors to go to town on it.

All New Outsiders – They don’t belong in the DC universe. Nobody trusts them. Nobody except the clone of Superman… Conner Kent. When Cadmus Labs gets back up and running, their scientists use DNA collected from multiple metahumans and superheroes to essentially clone/create the X-Men in the DC landscape. Players would have to choose an X-Men character to somewhat mirror, and if you need help finding a metahuman with the right DNA I can give an assist. I’ve got characters in mind based on Cyclops, Multiple Man, Banshee, and Colossus. Maybe a couple more, just depends on what the team lacks…

Each of these ideas would require around 5-7 players to get going. This is another one of those multi-interest interest checks because I don’t wanna pour a ton of time into an idea and then it not take off. I wanted to try some things that each offers something different, even if one of them is still in the DC Universe. Spiderman and the X-Men are both usually popular and the third idea with the New Warriors is kind of a shot in the dark. Ironman’s Iron Legion didn’t do it for anybody last time so I didn’t wanna try that one again LOL. So yeah… everybody lmk what you’d be down for!

Double Dragon

Like an old buddy-cop movie from decades’ past, there were clearly two personalities here with different opinions. Will was able to figure out that his cousin had just got home from work; his hair was still wet from the shower he took when he got in. Will’s mom got Jay the job as a janitor at the local community college. William would eventually be doing the same thing in another week and a half now that he had superpowers and was taking time away from school. That was for another time; at this moment Will just wondered why his cousin was still acting so casual.

“You probably shouldn’t be drinking booze if you’re gonna fly to Centurion’s HQ. Could crash into a building or something… or are you not gonna come with?” Will commented.

Jay was still just relaxing in his fold-out chair.

“If you’re tired, the power of the Dragon will fix that. I can swing it alone if you want, but there’s a Dead Head a little ways up the road and you know he’s not doing the city any favors. Probably out pushing oblivion on people…” Will explained, “So… you wanna transform before I fly off?”

Before either one of them could really do or say anything else somebody could be heard screaming a couple buildings down. Will’s muscles tensed up. Was it the Dead Head? Maybe another crocodile wandered into the streets? Hell it could be a six foot tall mutant amphibian for all anybody knew…

Double Dragon

Twenty years ago Centurion protected the streets of Sundown City. He was the only hero stepping up until one of the greatest fighters ever known came to town. The Golden Dragon was a man of few words who wielded great power. He could fly, throw cars around like baseballs, manipulate and generate fire, and… completely stole the limelight from Centurion. As technology continued to develop over the next couple decades, Centurion’s more futuristic tech seemed less and less impressive.

Three years ago the hurricane hit and destroyed part of a nearby dam. The east side of the city was flooded and life changed for thousands of residents. When the Golden Dragon became too old to continue protecting the city he opened a martial arts dojo. The Dragon tried to help Centurion move his HQ up to the roof of a safer building in the flooded part of the city, but the two older heroes were ambushed by a gang of tech scavengers that would eventually become the Dead Heads. They were led by a woman with red eyes who controlled the darkness around her. She would eventually become the Shadow Queen.

Three weeks ago Will and Jay walked into a gang war between the Wolfpack and the Dead Heads. They found shelter and the mark of the Dragon in the abandoned dojo and were transformed into dragon themed heroes. The fire they accidentally started in the building would have been blamed on the gangs by the Channel 17 News had they not flown out of the chaos looking like complete badasses. Sterling Shephard of Channel 17 News was appalled when local law enforcement deputized the Dragons after they assisted the police in capturing an escaped criminal named Abobo.

Two days ago the boys were contacted by Centurion. Will had heard of him before, superheroes were his ‘thing’ in his youth. Even past their prime, Centurion and the Golden Dragon were somewhat local celebrities. They met him at his rooftop HQ just a few blocks away from Jay’s apartment. Whatever happened to Golden Dragon was never figured out, but the boys told Centurion how they gained their abilities. None of them knew that eventually the mark of the dragon would show up elsewhere in the future.

Present Day, 2040 (We’ll say it’s in April)

The plan was simple enough: meet up at Jay’s apartment; transform on the roof or in the alley; and fly to Centurion’s HQ. Nobody was trying to go through the flooded areas and risk running into a crocodile. If rival street gangs going to war weren’t bad enough for the eastside slums, or the drug addicts staggering around on ‘oblivion’, random crocodiles wandering out of the flooded areas can sometimes also be a problem. Public transportation only went so far into the slums. So Will was unfortunately taking the last bit of his journey on foot.

“I tried transforming on my own and it didn’t work. Should test how close we have to be...” Will texted Jay on his smartphone. After putting it back in his pocket he glanced over his shoulder before crossing the street. It looked like a Dead Head was coming up behind him on foot. There was never just one around. And Jay’s apartment is still at least a few blocks away.

“I could run towards the flooded zone. The Dead Heads don’t go near there. I might be able to handle one in a fight… if he doesn’t have a gun or something.” He thought trying to speed up his walk without making it obvious he was uncomfortable. “DAMNIT!” he said out loud breaking into a run towards Jay’s apartment rather than the flooded zone. Thankfully, his speed was higher than that of a Dead Head. He was nearly twice as fast, and he wasn’t even in superhero dragon mode. When he got within a couple buildings of his cousins apartment complex he could feel something, possibly the connection to his cousin’s energy he needed. He pulled out his phone and quickly texted: “Meet me on your roof” before looking around once more and saying out loud “Power of the Dragon!”

In mere seconds the hero was flying to his cousin’s rooftop. When his cousin exited the door to the roof his costumed younger cousin asked…

“You think we should give ourselves codenames? Like… what are we right now? Dragon One and Dragon Two?” Will questioned.

Double Dragon

Here's a few images of some of the cartoon's Dragon Warriors. The first has the Double Dragons with a new Warrior in the center, then the other image is most of the ones from the group in one shot. There's two or three not shown as well as the Junior Dragons which we likely won't get into...

Not that we're remaking stuff note for note, but for the Dragon Warriors they included the female armorer, an amputee, a Hawaiian sumo wrestler, an illiterate homeless martial artist, and a retired military vet now strapped to a giant stomach mounted cannon LOL.
