Mobian Crocodile

[ - Appearance - ]


[ - History - ]
Vector's always been one to look after himself, originally using his brute power for mercenary work and adventuring under the Chaotix group that has seen many faces joining and leaving over the years, not limited to Knuckles the Echidna, Mighty the Armadillo, and Ray the Squirrel as people that have left Vector's group of misfits. Through everything, three individuals have persisted: Vector himself, and his two closest companions, Charmy Bee and Espio The Charmeleon. This group went forward after Vector grew tired of the adventuring shtick to form the Chaotix Detective Agency, where they hunted down belongings, people, or took on simple merc jobs to rake in the cash and live good.

Stationed within the Mobian U.Z.A, the Chaotix have been hired for countless jobs by inside and outside forces due to their surprising effectiveness, and are known to travel quite often for their work. However, while money speaks above most other things, their loyalty to Sally and their home turf is fairly obvious, as they've taken part in many jobs to ensure the safety of not just their homeland but the entirety of the world. When you need a job done, you call them. But you better have your wallet open, as they don't work for free... Most of the time.

Over the last year, Vector has been working with his companions to try and track down Doctor Eggman, with a large lack of positive results. He's taken it as a good sign that the Doc ain't anywhere around, but knew better than to assume he was gone for good, or something. The clues had to be somewhere, he just had to find them. However, Vector might not yet realize that he is too late on the matter and that there are plans going into motion without his knowing. The Chaotix' talents may be invaluable in the conflict that is to come.

[ - Personality - ]
Vector is a loud and bombastic kind of guy, always acting cool and likes to show off as the big imposing muscle man of his group. That being said, he also doesn't mind flexing his brain either, being a brilliant detective who'll solve a case once he finds pieces to pin together, displaying a very aggressive interrogation style that allows him to dig deep into individuals intimidated by him, and he has a lack of regret in playing bad cop when it's necessary, though often can keep his composure and figure things out in a surprisingly peaceful manner during an investigation. Acting as the muscle of the group also means he'll crack heads, Vector being notably the most violent of the three when things get rough.

He loves money, and has no issue pricing someone a fair amount for the work they're getting. He's a service, not a charity, and he doesn't risk his boys over a petty pay grade. That being said, Vector has a bad habit of offering freebies to women much to Charmy and Espio's dismay, and he might let the price slide if the situation is world-ending, as he can't get paid if the world is a crater anyhow. He'll make excuses, but he is actually quite heroic in the moment, and self-sacrificial for others, especially his team or younger individuals, and lashes out with extreme aggression against people who go against his own moral code.

Despite his generally good morals, Vector isn't afraid to just act in his own interest rather than helping others. He's also surprisingly rude at times, though he can be rough on close friends for their own benefit more often than not. But he's also a bit of a bully and can end up teasing close friends a little too much, potentially angering them. Vector's stubborn and admittedly reckless nature can make him a hazard at times, but that would never change the fact he's one of the best at his job.

[ - Equipment - ]

[Headphones]
Vector uses music to calm his temper, or generally distract himself. He wouldn't be caught dead without these.
[Bubblegum]
Vector's got a tendency to chew gum, but this is mostly for falling emergencies where he can float by blowing a giant gum bubble.
[Sling Rings]
A mixture of magic and technology, Sling Rings are tethers that when active, connect to one another by a trail of yellow sparkles and can be used in multiple ways to help the Chaotix group progress together as a unit or aid others. They can be pulled quite far apart and build up tension depending on the user's intent, to send the holder flying or to expand to make a longer rope.

[ - Powers, Abilities, and Skills - ]
[Immense Strength]
Vector is the muscle of the Chaotix, and isn't afraid to show it by smashing some heads. His hand-to-hand combat skills are notably honed, and he isn't afraid to smash through opposition with fists that have shattered many of Eggman's bots in the past. His bite is especially brutal, getting caught in Vector's mouth essentially being a Game Over for anyone trying to fight him in close range.

[Terrain Traversal]
Vector is a very capable swimmer and rock-climber, the former being obvious due to his species but the latter being aided by his strength and endurance. This makes him great for exploration, gaining access that would give less capable individuals a hassle.

[Investigation Talents]
Vector's an outstanding detective: He's got a keen eye for details, and surprisingly good at solving mysteries and riddles. He has the persistence of a predator hunting down it's prey through the wilderness. He's good at picking up oddities in social interactions and interrogating individuals until they spill the beans, and can put together things others might miss. His instincts are also good for predicting enemy movement, or finding lost itmes. If you want something solved, one of the best options is to seek out the Chaotix for help, as Vector refuses to give up on a job until it reaches a resolution.

[Bubble Floatation]
Vector can glide in the air with the help of bubblegum. He blows a giant bubble that allows him to slow his descent, and aid those that are also plummeting if they grab onto him. This bubble could easily pop from outside sources, but Vector himself is very capable of not letting the bubble pop due to his own error.

[Fireball]
Team attack involving Espio and/or Charmy, where he carries them in his maw and spits them as high-speed projectiles, sending them barreling into or through their opposition fast enough that they can catch aflame.

[Breath Techniques]
Vector is capable of knocking out all but the nastiest of foes with his putrid breath, and with his destructive singing voice, he can attack with sound waves. While not commonly used, Vector is also capable of spitting fire out in the form of small fireballs to toast enemies.

[Jam Session]
Combination attack with Charmy and Espio. The trio break out into a concert and the energy of the sound generated is enough to cause physical damage to groups of enemies around them, even causing full-on robots to explode.
[ - Character Notes - ]

• Vector and the Chaotix are mostly unchanged, simply being a business to hire by the many individuals or higher authorities of the world, though their loyalties lay with Sally and the Mobians, and will not take offers to spy or betray them in any manner. Unless tricked into doing so, somehow...
• The Chaotix have been searching the globe for Doctor Eggman over the last year, in search of both a reward for bringing him in (He may or may not owe Vector money after being rescued from Neo Metal Sonic's imprisonment), and to ensure for the sake of Sally that he isn't scheming to control or destroy the planet.
• The Chaotix all share a household, which may or may not be connected directly to their office. Or it might be their office. Don't judge.

Espio The Charmeleon

Espio The Charmeleon

[ - Age - ]
17
[ - Gender - ]
Male
[ - Species - ]
Mobian Charmeleon

[ - Appearance - ]


[ - History - ]
Espio was one of the founding members of the Chaotix Detective Agency, along with Vector the Crocodile and Charmy Bee. Having worked close with them during their adventuring days, it was no wonder that he stayed when Vector gave up the big treasure hunting life to take on a detective agency instead. Vector saw a lot of potential in Espio's abilities, and while they may disagree at times, Espio respects Vector's opinion enough to be honored in working with him to make a living.

Having been taking part in the search for Eggman over the last year, Espio has been using his contacts and computer knowledge to try and scope out the land another way to find Eggman but has had no luck in the matter. His digging into the multiple powers of the world trying to see if someone had gave the Doctor sanctum has yielded no results, but he is insistent on finding the man to keep him from being able to unleash another scheme. The money would be nice too, though.

None of Espio's information networks could prepare him for what was coming, however. A ninja, like him, taken by such surprise... It's both ironic and terrifying, though they'll have time to truly worry once the Doctor's plan comes to fruition.

[ - Personality - ]
Espio is a serious individual, often more stoic and quiet than Vector or Charmy. Some would call him anti-social, which wouldn't entirely be incorrect, as he's less comfortable talking to people he doesn't know. His lighter side and snark come out when Vector is involved, and he tends to be easy on Charmy while also scolding him to try and keep the Bee in check. He is the most professional of the Chaotix and isn't afraid to act as the leader, either. When he disagrees with a plan, he speaks up, and will present what he thinks is better.

He has a firm confidence in the more mystical side of the world, showing an appreciation for the magical aspects and having faith that they can be of great use to him and those around him. He has respect for traditions and leans towards not disrespecting others, as he wishes to not be disrespected himself with his way of the ninja. Unless it's Charmy, he shows extreme irritation in being mocked, and is willing to humble those who he thinks need to be put in their place.

Despite his serious nature, Espio has some quirkiness to him. He tends to get roped into Vector and Charmy's schemes, and has a bad tendency to miss social cues, making him slightly awkward. He's generally calm but also stressed, his mind always wandering from one task to the next and never settling down for long. It'd probably be good for him if someone could teach him to relax a little, though it'd probably throw Espio off his guard and leave him a tad startled and confused.

[ - Equipment - ]
[Shuriken & Kunai]
Espio is trained in throwing both shuriken and kunai with extreme accuracy. He's also trained himself to fight with a kunai in his hand, making close combat with him much more dangerous.
[Smoke Bombs]
Smoke bombs intended to be used as an escape by the Chaotix. Espio also uses them to cause panic among a group before swooping in to take them down. A truly handy utility tool.
[Sling Rings]
A mixture of magic and technology, Sling Rings are tethers that when active, connect to one another by a trail of yellow sparkles and can be used in multiple ways to help the Chaotix group progress together as a unit or aid others. They can be pulled quite far apart and build up tension depending on the user's intent, to send the holder flying or to expand to make a longer rope.

[ - Powers, Abilities, and Skills - ]
[Ninja's Way]
Espio has speed comparable to that of Sonic and Shadow, being a fast enough foe to leave multiple after-images with his movement, and acrobatic opponent that excels in close to mid-range combat, often swooping in with his kunai or throwing them at aerial foes, or to just keep his distance from a threat. His hand-to-hand skills excel over Vector's but he's not as physically strong, but can still cause damage with powerful chops and kicks, though he tends to aim for weak spots when he can.

[Wallclimber]
Espio can stick to walls, to hide himself in an unsuspecting spot or to simply climb to high places.

[Espionage]
Espio is good at gathering information from people who don't want to disclose it. Break ins and theft of information, or spying on targets is Espio's specialty. He also has connections with people in most places, eyes and ears keeping tabs on the events of the world to keep the Chaotix informed. While Vector is good at piecing things together and pressing towards a target, Espio is good at putting the pieces on the table or providing a plan to execute.

[Camouflage]
Espio can blend into the environment to become invisible, allowing him to spy on or ambush others while they aren't expecting it. His disappearances are quick, and unless you have an extreme talent for detection, finding him is a nightmare.

[Computer Use]
Espio, surprisingly enough, has some minor hacking abilities. He isn't about to be breaking into the information centers of the U.Z.A, but he can usually break into personal computers or smaller terminals without a lot of hassle.

[Tornado Jump]
Espio runs fast enough in a circular pattern to cause a cyclone of wind that can send enemies into the air.

[Jam Session]
Combination attack with Charmy and Vector. The trio break out into a concert and the energy of the sound generated is enough to cause physical damage to groups of enemies around them, even causing full-on robots to explode.

[ - Character Notes - ]

• Espio has eyes in a lot of places, and generally always has a contact he can speak with in a major city to gather local information from. These contacts are open to anyone in Espio's presence, as long as he trusts them.
• Espio has been doing a lot of globetrotting over the last year trying to find the potential location of Eggman. He highly suspects someone is hiding him as a power play, but has zero proof of this...

Charmy The Bee

Charmy The Bee

[ - Age - ]
7
[ - Gender - ]
Male
[ - Species - ]
Mobian Bee

[ - Appearance - ]


[ - History - ]
Charmy is by far the youngest member of the Chaotix and is essentially Espio and Vector's baby brother. He is mainly the reason both decided to start up the Detective Agency to begin with, wanting a less dangerous environment for him to grow up in. Charmy himself is undyingly loyal to both of them and followed them into the job just to keep their unit together, seeing the two as family and not wanting to be split apart. He is somewhat saddened by the fact that the rest of the crew is no longer with them, but still likes to think they're all on good terms.

Charmy has aided Espio and Vector in attempting to locate Eggman over the last year, but has found himself angry with how he can't manage to succeed. He likes to think the Doctor is gone for good, but he isn't. The small Bee could feel it in his gut, and he'd lend as much help as he could to the effort until they come to a resolution. However, Charmy isn't prepared for the cruel realization of what is about to be brought down upon the world, his childish optimism just raring to be shattered by the plots nobody is aware of behind the scenes...

[ - Personality - ]
Charmy is an energetic little boy, and has a high-level of optimism that often allows him to keep Espio and Vector from getting into a fight, at least when he isn't messing with them himself. He's a large motivator and tries to keep confident through most situations, showing just as much bravery as his companions when it comes to protecting others or getting a job done. His joy extends to everyone around him, treating everyone as a friend, which Vector personally considers to be good for business.

While Charmy is generally a good guy, he's also got a bit of attitude, and snark to him: He doesn't take being treated as a kid well, and tends to be in over his head when it comes to proving himself. He'll sass people who give his group a hard time, or people he just considers to be wackjobs, and when agitated he isn't afraid to lash out with his stinger to put someone in their place. Charmy's coy nature can represent Espio, while his irritation bubbling is hugely influenced by Vector.

He's often very worried about the Chaotix in general, not wanting them to ever split apart again. He considers them family, and would throw himself in front of any danger to protect them, even at the cost of himself. Nobody messes with Vector and Espio when he's around, or they'll be getting more hell than a whole hornet nest could stir up!

[ - Equipment - ]
[Sling Rings]
A mixture of magic and technology, Sling Rings are tethers that when active, connect to one another by a trail of yellow sparkles and can be used in multiple ways to help the Chaotix group progress together as a unit or aid others. They can be pulled quite far apart and build up tension depending on the user's intent, to send the holder flying or to expand to make a longer rope.

[ - Powers, Abilities, and Skills - ]
[Stinger Bee]
Charmy is surprisingly strong and fairly fast, able to hold Espio and Vector as he flies through the air, and deliver a pretty solid wallop with his fists, too. This unsuspecting strength is an advantage Charmy uses to get the upper hand on his opposition at times, as he has no complaints about playing dirty to win. This includes using his stinger for nastier, dangerous attacks. Getting hit by his stinger does not feel good, and it's suggested to avoid it if possible.

[Perpetual Flight]
Charmy is almost always flying, and seems to not really get tired out by just flying around by himself. However, he does tucker out after a bit when he has to carry Vector and Espio. But with the use of his flight and strength he can be a great utility to the group.

[Tracking]
Charmy's main talent in the Chaotix is tracking other people, having a tendency to point out things Espio and Vector both miss in an investigation due to his young and imaginative mind. He always follows a hunch, and with his flight he won't let a fleeing individual get away.

[Thunder Shoot]
Combination attack with Vector and/or Espio, where Charmy can shoot them while airborne as projectiles to knock out enemies, before pulling them back with the power of the Sling Ring.

[Jam Session]
Combination attack with Vector and Espio. The trio break out into a concert and the energy of the sound generated is enough to cause physical damage to groups of enemies around them, even causing full-on robots to explode.

[ - Character Notes - ]

• Charmy wishes he could get the old crew back together, and has a tendency to bring it up whenever he runs into any old Chaotix members. He's also probably the only guy who would try to actively hire another individual, but it's not up to him and Vector has a huge tendency of saying no.
• Charmy is eager to find Eggman, but has less faith in the mission than Vector and Espio. He has suggested for them to just wait it out and crush him once his dumb face pops back up, but the others are insistent on finding him before he has time to finalize a plan...

World of Light

LOCATION: Edge Of The Blue - Bottomless Sea
WORD COUNT: 1,230(+2 EXP)Level up!
MENTIONS: Shippy, Mr. L, Peach directly. Supporting Ms. Fortune's Shippy defense and then Sakura's rescue effort!

New Strength Unlocked!

Engineering Knowhow - Mirage is certified in mechanical and electrical engineering, able to fix, modify, or create machines based on the materials on-hand. This can make him helpful for general repairs on vehicles and equipment the party may have, and he can also find his way around a computer effectively, though he's not a hacker by any means. His true specialty is Holo-Pilot tech, technology based around deception and invisibility in and out of battle, ranging from full-body holo-suits to cloaking devices for items or even entire vehicles, if the resources he has allows it.

---

Mirage nearly toppled over onto Blazermate as Shippy got snappy, the explosion having gone off a bit too close for comfort. "GaH! So sorry!" He spoke quickly, the situation around him getting into an overwhelming state as people came down from the Atomos, showering Link and Ace Cadet which was funny, but he didn't have time to admire slapstick at the moment. He saw something weird though, noticing Link crush the spirits he had leftover, the bundle turning into... Equipment? So they could break them for goodies, too? That was a tidbit he'd keep in mind for later, but now wasn't the time.

Geralt wasted no time in absolutely wasting that moob monster, as some of the others closed in at different paces. Though he was getting beaten to begin with, so this was only bringing forth results quicker as the Seekers drew in. He wasn't sure if he should be going out to help, and as they seemed to continue to fight, Mr. L was smarting off about him being a mook again. "I can swim!" Mirage defended himself against Mr. L's words, the returned sass causing the man's hands to raise to his hips in annoyance. "Who're you calling a mook anyways, huh? 'Least I don't have an L above my forehead and stories from King Bowser to prove you earned it, buddy! Why don't you just jump into one of those bottomless pi--"

Mirage would've kept going, but Nadia called everyone to arms: It seems like the grenade plan had truly sunk after all, and now they were like fish in a barrel for the creatures in the sea. Or... Fish on a ship. Ah, shit, they were being attacked for real now! Mirage's stubbier legs scampered across the deck, figuring if the opposition was in the water, then the cannons would be a better idea than the Wingman. He slipped into the seat, quickly looking over the weapon in front of him in a moment of childish admiration as his fingers graced the controls. "Hah, reminds me of Shelia!" He said aloud to himself, eyes tracking the forms in the water. An audible yelp escaped him as a shark had the guts to jump straight out at the cannon, and him. In his panic his thumbs pressed down, opening fire and shredding the shark into nothing but splashed saltwater and dissolving shark bits. Oh yeah, that felt good. The creatures began to swarm, Nadia seeming to fight those that'd be reachable by her own equipped cannons or brutal fists if they dared get too close. Holy cow, that girl was nuts!

Mirage had no time to gawk though, as he began aiming at the fins popping out of the water. Sure it wasn't fancy, but when it came to weaponry, you didn't need it looking fancy to kill the opposition. When you looked as good as Mirage, however, you were always styling on the competition. Mirage opened fire, shells connecting with the main target and the impact AOE damaging a few more, but only enough to startle them back as their friend was reduced to pounded fading fish paste. He would have went for the other sharks, but the Mofish caught his eye: They swam together like a unit and he'd seen some already try and board. Well, the school of them in Mirage's sights weren't boarding anytime soon, as he'd apply man's greatest violent solution: More dakka.

"Dakka dakka dakka dakka! Brrrr!" Mirage made additional noises with his gunfire, some of his firepower missing the smaller targets but the ones that connected not only killed their intended target, but the AOE of the shells was much more of a shock for them than it was for the sharks. Oh, this was just like back in the Games! Racking up kills, finding thrills, and--

click click click click

"Nuts." Mirage exclaimed, having run out of ammo in his recklessness. Aw, well. At least he had fun while it lasted! Thankfully it seemed to begin an automatic reloading process, but he knew these damn things took forever, so he was cautiously scanning the battlefield making sure nothing was coming up on him.

Mirage was horrified by the distracting sight of Scylla not only taking out the eye of her opposition, but then throwing it at the Atomos as if it was mocking them for their choice in the fight. "Well screw you, too!" He shouted, invested in this fight now that he'd spilled blood-- Or, Spirits? On the battlefield. Usually Mirage was fairly cool-headed, he knew how to disengage and instigate a fight again in his favor, but as of late he'd been guns blazing until his opposition was gone. Most of his jobs required everything to go bye bye anyways back at the Guild, but there were surely better ways he could have handled some situations.

He wasn't very sure of who Bella was personally, but he witnessed her get caught in a nasty situation and knew they were on the same side, so helping was the right thing to do, yeah? The only thing that kept him from opening fire in the distance was the fact his gun was still reloading, and Peach's loud voice startling him into falling out of his seat with the help of Shippy's speed increase. As he pulled himself up, her instructions were clear, and he pulled his wingman from it's holster. That crazy-ass school girl was jumping onto the appendage and trying to free Bella already, but Mirage figured putting some pressure on wouldn't hurt, right? You never leave a squadmate behind, after all! "Numero Dos of the rescue team, on it ma'am!" He confirmed his duty to Peach, taking position near the railing while deploying a decoy near the railing as well in a semi-empty space, figuring if anything lunged at it they would be alerted to it's presence. And it was way better than him or Nadia getting chewed on right now. He lowered his armor plate before putting both hands on his gun, taking aim at the appendage that Bella and Sakura were struggling with. As he fired, his shot obviously whiffed; The kick from his revolver in his smaller form a little above what he expected, his bullet flying off course and into nothing but air. He attempted to regain his composure quickly as he noticed Sakura seemed to have an escape method for Bella, but she wasn't exactly in a place to defend herself from oncoming threats while attempting to pry Bella free. "Come on, Elliot!" He lectured to himself, grip tightening on his firearm.

Focused now, Mirage began providing covering fire for Sakura's efforts: Anything that poked out of the water to try and attack her would be getting a heavy revolver round through it to tell it to piss off. That being said, he had five shots, but if he could make them count with his cover fire then maybe they'd get Bella free quickly. Then they could focus on kicking that eel-girl's ass! Because despite Peach's orders, Mirage wasn't ready to just retreat from this now! Fortunately she might know his condition and not judge him as harshly for it, though seeing this battle through to the end was just boiling in Mirage's veins. A glint in his eyes and a smirk on his face as he focused, waiting to blast anything that tried to harass Sakura's rescue efforts.

Mao

_{Theme Of Mao}

"A world full of test subjects! You can't ask for better than this!"

Name
Overlord Mao

Game Origin
Disgaea 3: Absence of Detention

Personality
Mao is the abrasive sort: Definitely confrontational and an aggressor, he isn't afraid to state his mind and push towards a goal with full force, though he isn't without reason despite his stubbornness. He's had to comply with others in the past to reach his endgame, and he'll do it again if it means reaching a conclusion. He realizes his situation and knows his Overlordship has been stripped, leaving him on equal footing with others, and therefor doesn't actively try to make those around him submit like he might back home. That being said, it's not like he's your friend either, kindness and rudeness are opposites in his world: To be kind is to be a delinquent, and to be cruel is to excel. So his rudeness and general dismissive attitude of others can come off as terrible, and truly it is, but from his reality that is simply how the world works.

Mao is also... Quirky, when it comes to his hobbies. He (not admittedly, mind you) is a huge fan of Super Heroes, and finds himself partaking in very questionable studies such as 'proper school skirt lengths', 'optional amount of food poisoning to kill a classmate', or 'how many books you have to burn to cook a turkey'. He's an oddball and not in a positive way, some would find. The way he'll happily use individuals as live experiments for him to prod and stab at show sadism in his personality, and in combat he has a tendency to play with his food and knock around opponents a bit more than necessary. Though if this is purely to stroke his own ego or if he's trying to weaken them to the point of strapping them to an operating table is undecided. It's probably best to assume both.

However, Mao is currently undergoing a mental infection caused by attempting to force himself to be a hero so he could slay his father. He is slowly leaning into being compassionate and considerate of others, something he quickly attempts to dismiss when it comes up as he isn't willing to accept the changes within his own mind. Slowly but surely, he is gaining more heroic tendencies, and to what extent this will carry on, he isn't quite sure. He'd be lying if he said he wasn't afraid, and as such he will lie about it, as one such as himself shouldn't fear anything, let alone something as pitiful as some delinquent emotions. He'll find a solution, and smash this kindness back into the depths below the Netherworld itself, so he can fully go back to his old ways.

History
Mao was raised in the Netherworld of Maritsu Evil Academy, a Netherworld entirely based around one giant school, where his father ruled as the Overlord, or Dean, and he himself was the number one honor student with an EQ (Evil Quotient!) of 1.8 Million. He has held a grudge against his father ever since he was young for accidentally stomping on one of his precious video games after he had fully grinded all of his amazing characters, and has made it his mission in life to dethrone his father and become Dean himself.

This has lead him down a path of many trials, from stealing a Hero's title and power, to having to seek the truth about how he feels within his own heart to unleash his true potential. He's fought against beasts of all kinds, the upperclassmen, and even the occasional teacher that decided to get in his way in the Overlord's Path he was paving: All of it supported by his loyal servant Geoffrey. The one man Mao never felt had any sort of control or judgement towards him, ended up being the biggest foil of all, as he revealed as Mao grew stronger that he was in fact a Hero who raised him to be the ultimate fight, to claim his power and then purge other Netherworlds. Mao had no choice but to face him in combat, and by the end, the Overlord's Son came out victorious. Sparing the Hero's life, but enslaving him as a victim for experimentation as punishment.

After all of this, Mao found his father to be passing away slowly. He had been hoping to raise Mao to be a kind Overlord, and was proud of the majority of his choices along his journey. The boy still felt his more evil ways to be superior, but couldn't lie that deep down, he respected his father and somewhat wanted to fulfill his wishes by being the best Dean he could ever be. Soon after his father's passing. Mao himself became Overlord, and began trying to run the Academy how he saw fit.

This wasn't destined to last long, however, as when he went to deal with some 'Baal' guy that was disturbing the Netherworld, he'd not been met with a demon, but with a blinding light. Mao was underestimating Baal's power to begin with, but not even the Tyrant Overlord could have resisted this light. Despite the brightness, their Netherworld was truly snuffed out. And it's left Mao in a very pestering situation...

Specialty
Mao is a short to mid-range fighter than attacks with sword strikes and non-elemental magical blasts.

Level
1

Experience
0/10

Powers

• Blast Finger - Mao discards or sheathes his weapon, charging non-elemental magic in one hand and delivering a brutal punch, while attempting to grab hold of his opponent with his other hand to blast them point-blank with a full strength magic blast. This blast can also be used as a sort of short-ranged magical burst, but doesn't travel very far. It does, however, cover a wide area in front of Mao, which can be helpful for clearing his general vicinity.

Strengths:

• Dean-monic Might - Mao is a full-fledged demon, displaying strength to pick up foes that tower over him, and speed to rush down his opponents that'd dare to try and escape. These feats would make most think twice before going toe-to-toe with him, though he's far from invincible. Especially in this World of Light...
• Mad Scientist - Mao's Evil Quotient of 1.8 Million leads him into partaking in torturous dissecting and experimentation on living beings to sate his own curiosity about how they tick. This has led him into being able to identify primary traits and weaknesses of creatures on the fly. While exploiting weaknesses is nice, this has a surprisingly simple effect: Due to his excessive knowledge on humanoids he gains a juicy damage bonus against them, knowing all of their precious little weak spots.
• Innate Magic - Mao has an innate attunement to non-elemental magic, spells that cannot exploit weaknesses but also cannot be resisted by natural affinity. Of course, his connection to magic aids in defending against it as well, able to take a fireball like any other punch to the face. Unless it's a massive fireball... Or a massive punch to the face?

Weaknesses

• Chilled - Mao has a weakness to Ice attacks, taking roughly 30% additional damage from them. Adding to this, Mao has a distaste for cold climates in general, and seems to always perform worse in them unless he is heavily clothed to compensate. Who thought an Overlord could be such a wimp?
• Four-Eyes - Mao's glasses are unfortunately not just for show. Without them, his general vision is much worse, though he especially has trouble with things the farther they are from him. This impacts the accuracy of all of his attacks, and makes it more difficult for Mao to observe his surroundings in meaningful detail, or even spot threats so he can dodge them. His general worse-for-wear eyesight also makes him a unlikely candidate for using firearms or bows.
• Sickening Kindness - Mao takes his high authority in the Netherworld very seriously, and that includes maintaining the evil expected of the #1 Honor Student of Maritsu Evil Academy. To the point that acts delinquency, or as a normal person would call it, Kindness, can make him physically sick and weaker. Though it's only when Mao himself is committing acts of kindness and he or someone else is acknowledging him doing it that he'll become weaker. He's still distasteful of general kindness from others, but seeing someone else hug a puppy isn't going to weaken his combat ability. It might make him puke a little in his mouth though.

Spirits

• N/A

Kindred Spirits

• Raspberyl - The number one delinquent in Maritsu Evil Academy, and regretfully for Mao one of his closest friends. Where he once considered her to be worthless, her aid saved him more times than he could count. He owes her respect but his attitude refuses to give it, instead coming out as insults though she knows him well enough to tell his intentions. People have rumored that the two are in love, but Mao denies such a thing! He doesn't 'love' anybody, let alone some delinquent twit! You want a sword in your face, do you?! Then say something that idiotic to Mao's face!

Inventory

• Longsword - An average longsword, not the most competent of weapons but far from the worst. Mao wields it in one hand with surprising finesse.
• Hard Candyx5 - Healing candies from Mao's world. Pop one of these in your mouth and your wounds will soothe in no time! But they will rot your teeth...
• BBQ Saucex5 - Drinks and condiments in Mao's world restore magical power. Mao just wishes he had some ribs to slather this sauce on instead of just drinking the damn stuff...

Mirage thought he'd gone blind, but soon enough his vision came back as the whole lightshow shtick with the Spirit stopped. He blinked away the odd feeling rocking his mind, as he observed his surroundings and noticed they were... Off. Specifically when he looked at Link. The man in blue had been shorter than him moments ago, but suddenly he was inches taller. And as he shot his view around the vessel, he noticed the height of everything around him seemed to change. A part of him wanted to be a dunce and assume everything got bigger, but no... As he looked down, and noticed himself closer to the deck than before, it was obvious the Spirit had made him smaller. "So much for being tall and handsome..." He complained, observing his body and noting the paler complexion, too. He looked like a total shut-in, that was embarrassing. He worked hard to keep his skin nice, and now look at him! Pasty white. Like some sort of vampire.

And his duds! The attire change was dark and kind of edgy, went with the pale skin at least, but his goggles were what caught his attention. It was like some sort of armored piece now, that'd protect him from some head trauma! But by the look of it, it was still wearable over his eyes. He slid them down, noting if he decided to keep them on, they'd hamper his wider vision a bit. But nothing was getting past this and into his eyes! "This whole height thing's a bummer, but these new goggles are pretty dope!" He said enthusiastically, trying to find a bright side in this mild mess he'd brought himself into. He also took note of his mental state; He didn't feel different, per se, but he wasn't as scared of the water as he was before. Link must've been right about the swimming capabilities of the Spirit. Though to what extent he could swim, he wasn't sure. He wasn't terribly keen on finding out what exactly his own capabilities were with the waters so full of danger.

"If... A pit was bottomless, wouldn't there just be a hole in the planet?" Mirage released a thought at Nadia and Peach's discussion, as he continued to fiddle around with his new apparel. Mirage spent a little time trying to adjust to his surprisingly stubby new body, doing some jumps and stretches to see it was just as well-built as before, just smaller. What were the odds of him pulling that little devil out of Link's small collection? Yikes, he wasn't sure if he liked this change but if it increased his chances of surviving, then he'd take it. That big unicorn-man, Geralt, he must've done something like this too. Link made it clear he did as well-- And he bet King Bowser didn't look how he did without something like this happening to him, too. So obviously it wasn't as weird in their situation, right? He needed to adapt to folks like these if he was going to make any strides, that was for sure! But at the same time... He sure hoped people didn't start joking about this.

Mirage had mostly been focusing on himself up until a presence appeared in the distance; Figures, large ones, in the water. Mirage approached the railing, which he felt a lot shorter next to than before, and looked out. He squinted his eyes as if to get a better view from it, and almost fell over backwards as his vision suddenly shifted. Regaining his composure, he looked back out to sea and could see the situation more clearly. More... Closely. Blinking, he pulled up the armored plate and noticed his vision return to normal, before putting it back over his eyes and seeing the zoomed vision. This thing had utility and offered protection? He wasn't going to pass up on that. "What the hell[ is that?!" He exclaimed, looking at the large purple sea monster. His eyes shot to the second one, noting they were fighting. Which in his opinion was a relief, because they both looked dangerous at hell. He backed away from the railing, pulling his armored goggles back atop his forehead so he wouldn't have as much detail for the big purple guy getting his fat chewed off. It was a gruesome fight, the gore was attracting the sharks, if those things came over here they'd all die! And--

"The big one. It....it has moobs…”

Mirage was losing his shit instantly, joining Nadia's amusement. His arms wrapped around his gut as he noticed that the purple sea monster indeed had moobs, laughing as it drained away the seriousness for a moment as he watched on as the two monsters fought. "Ahah, oh man, if those eels aim high enough that's gonna be one hell of a nipple-cripple." He remarked, tears almost forming in his eyes as he watched on, completely losing his train of thought from a moment ago. Probably for the better thanks to a purr-fectly timed comment.

Unfortunately, this also distracted Mirage enough for Blazermate to pinch one of his grenades, the man snapping out of his laughter as he looked towards the robot with confusion. "Hey, hey! what're you doing with that?" He questioned, quickly following after her with a mixture of concern and curiosity. His eyes shot open as she shoved it into one of her undead minions, Mirage hearing the grenade's sound of being armed.

"Uh, shoo! Go, zombie-ship thing, go!" He urged, about ready to punt the damn thing off the boat but it seemed to go on it's own. He stood beside Blazermate, watching the zombie attract the sharks as it lead them, and itself, to an inevitable death. The explosion was forceful, turning the zombie into a rain of bits and pieces that littered the waters and sent a large electric shock through the surrounding water, and the sharks that had followed what they thought was a free meal. "Fair thee well, zamboni." He said, offering a half-assed salute to the falling bits of Abyssal. He dropped his hand and found himself laughing a little at Blazermate's enthusiasm over the whole thing. "Not a bad move at all, I guess between the carnival tricks and becoming undead bomb vests these zombies ain't have bad." He complimented, though he wasn't about to start offering these corpses high-fives, or nothing. He was just lucky to have avoided the splash zone, unlike Ace Cadet over there. Eugh.

This robo-chick was pretty quick to focus on her next task, though. She went from laughing at zombie confetti to focusing on the moob monster very fast, and he saw something that left him utterly speechless: She summoned some guy out of thin air. Not only did she do that, but he was seemingly beating the hell out of some toolboxes with a wrench, which was somehow constructing whatever was inside them. What in the world? As a man of the engineering trade himself, this was incredible! But the concept of it was beyond him. He thought about questioning the summoned individual, but he ended up pulled from that as he noticed some sort of... Beam, Blazermate was shooting at him now. He winced and took a step back, though after a few seconds she seemed to go and shoot it at other members of the crew, as well. Nobody seemed to be treating it as weird or harmful, and he felt pretty good himself, at the moment. What was that?! She was just full of surprises! But they were pleasant ones that seemed to help, so in exchange for the empowering beam, he offered her a thumbs up with a grin on his pale face.

Rogue Continuum: The Singularity Crisis (A DC and Marvel RP)

I've been lurking for a bit, but decided to toss in an idea of mine based off the Crisis In A Half Shell crossover comic from 2019. There's some cool stuff in the works already, so I could understand if I end up not getting in, but I gotta at least give it a shot.

Batman In A Half Shell

| Character Identity |

Bruce Wayne, The Batman

| Age |

24

| Character Differences |

This is a Bruce Wayne raised with four little green brothers and taught in the art of ninjutsu by Master Splinter. He is not the stern, overly serious or darker man most would know, and isn't driven by his parents' death but instead is more openly hurt from the whole event, despite his attempts to repress old pain from his old life. In general, he is much more lighthearted, though a bit of a hardass when it comes to his brothers' safety. He's surprisingly sociable, with enough wit to crack a one-liner in the opposite direction one might expect him to, but can get rowdy and also put on quite the act of intimidation when necessary. He's almost entirely embraced family and teamwork, his stubbornness to do something alone simply coming from his desire to protect his brothers. Bruce lacks the sheer experience of his counterparts, still learning about himself and improving in his abilities. He also lacks resources he's had as a billionaire playboy in other universes, instead tinkering with Donatello to make whatever the group needs. Bruce retains his appreciation for life and dislikes killing, but doesn't share the same absolute moral code and hatred for criminals of Bruce Wayne's that witnessed their families die to a mugger.

| Brief World Background |

Bruce's Earth is highly based off the merged world from the Crisis In A Half Shell crossover comic, many characters from Batman and TMNT being fused together. Such as Splinter and Alfred, and Joker and the Shedder forming the Laughing Man, terror and leader of the Smile Clan. Members being individuals such as Killer Croc and Clayface, fused with Bebop and Rocksteady respectively, and Harley Quinn fused with Karai. Rather than being a merged world created by Krang, this is it's own specific universe where Bruce truly was raised by Splinter, and the criminal actions of the Smile Clan have spread across the city of Gotham where it was up to Batman and the Turtles to bring justice. Though it's a long a chaotic battle that seems nowhere near it's completion, and given the circumstances, it'll probably be staying that way for a long while.

| Brief Character Background |

At a young age, Bruce Wayne had just emerged from a pet store having been bought four small pet turtles, before witnessing his parents end up in a tragic accident involving a speeding truck. Not only losing his parents in the accident, but witnessing his new pets along with a rat be covered in a mysterious ooze, mutating them into more humanoid beings. The rat, introducing himself as Splinter, took in the grief-stricken Bruce Wayne and the four turtles, the group of five retreating into the sewers to find a home. With Splinter's help, Bruce named these four turtles: Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello, and Raphael.

Rather than pets, he grew up with these four turtles as his younger brothers, and with Splinter as a father and mentor in ninjutsu. Bruce excelled, showing talent and potential as he showed himself as an above-and-beyond talent, using his intelligence to make up for the difference in strength between himself and the turtles. While they all loved each other, there was a sort of triple rivalry between Bruce, Leo, and Raph. Leo wanted to lead, Raph didn't want a leader, and Bruce was just doing what he thought needed to be done and therefor would cause them both to budge if necessary. In the end, it was surprising that Splinter scolded that both Raph and Bruce were too brutal and eager to lead, even if they had good intentions. So the leadership position ended up in Leonardo's hands, though the three came to trust one another's opinions a lot more over time despite some conflicts still arising.

As Bruce grew, he became more and more curious about human society in general. He had a tendency to wander around above ground, a leisure his brothers didn't have to the same extent-- And saw the good and bad the streets had to offer. The bad having more of an effect, as Bruce occasionally encountered someone in danger, lending them his talents. After awhile, Bruce began to take this more seriously, crafting an alias for himself to bring terror into the thugs on the street. Based on a traumatic situation with bats in his youth in the sewers not long after his parent's death, he became Batman. Something Mikey in particular noted as edgy, but he brushed this off to embrace his own unique identity that made him feel comparable to the uniqueness of his brothers.

Bruce began to realize the more serious and dark schemes in the shadows of their city, his brothers didn't hesitate to rise up and fight with him to foil the crimes of the assortment of powerful criminals attempting to turn the city into their own. All of these criminals linking to one source: The Smile Clan, and it's leader, the Laughing Man. Who, despite the brothers best efforts, are still causing trouble to this day. Despite their multiple conflicts, no real resolution seems possible. Though Bruce personally does not want to stop until he can bring the Laughing Man to justice.

It seems Bruce is cursed to lose family in one way or another, and this ended up being in the form of an abduction. He was on one of his late-night prowls, or as Donny called it, 'brooding after losing too many times at video games'. He'd been eyeing a mugger in an alley, who was threatening a woman with a knife. Through a presence Bruce had no chance of detecting, he was rendered unconscious from an attack by an unidentified individual behind him.

And by the time he woke up, his situation was much worse than he ever could have anticipated. At least he'd been geared up before he ended up dragged into this situation, but he only had two priorities upon realizing the weight of everything around him: Survive, and get back to his family. And over the last few months, that's exactly what he's been focusing on. Bruce has had to push aside his morals just for a hope of survival, and it's all for the sake of his loved ones. Though as he's fought, against psychopaths and persons of reason alike pinned in a situation like him, Bruce has gained a growing conviction to somehow end this once and for all. For the sake of every living being that has had to fall in this horrific world.
