"Surely someone like you doesn't see that as so black and white," Orion chuckled, then noticed one of his men edging toward her. She seemed trained enough to notice the fool, and nearly missed the question about the guards. "Well, MSS, RAW, Mossad, MI6, abandoned black ops operatives, but hand-to hand combat I taught them myself. Hardly better than any other drunken lout on the streets before I taught them thorough Aikido, Lerdrit and a touch of Okichitaw," Orion replied, a bit of an exaggeration at their lack of ability prior to his martial art training, but compared to how they were now it seemed fair to say that.

Orion nodded at that behavior. Figuring she wasn't an airhead he figured earlier she'd either ignore him or get offended by the hint of being nothing more than a pretty face. Looks like she was one of the calm ones who won't be easy to rile with subtleties. God, those ones are hard to mess with. "If anything I suppose you could call me an investor in a little bit of all of that. I supply some people and get them started, they get big, I get a cut of the profits if they want to keep their neck. Yucky business that is, I don't ask details and leave them alone other than my 40% cut. When you have a lot of shady bosses like that losing that much money, better to be on the safe side in case they slip past my surveillance and send someone at me." Orion said casually, slightly surprised that she hadn't heard of him already. "Is taking money from those types of people who'd spend it getting more drugs or slaves or deaths for some nice whiskey and ending up with their heads gone every now and then so bad?" Orion asked the girl, now trying to analyse her ethical and moral standpoint.

The Masks We Wear (Full for Now)

IRL Pic

Name: Artemis Crawler
Superhero Alias: Ashen
Age: 15
Gender: Female
Power: Typhokinesis (Smoke Manipulation) - She can adapt air to turn into smoke and expand it, for use as camouflage, deoxygenation, and typhokinetic constructs (dense smoke particles becoming semi-solid)
Mask Appearance: In Image
Personality: Artemis is a quiet girl without friends at the school, mainly due to the fact that she is mute and can only talk by writing in the notepad she carries around. When she is wearing her mask she seems very dark and intimidating, and has a tendency to graffiti to externalize her emotions.
History: With noone to tell she has never had reason to share her past (TBR in IC)
Other: Mask has thermal imaging to see through her smoke. Pansexual.

IRL Pic

Name: Jason Steel
Superhero Alias: Blank
Age: 15
Gender: Male
Power: Advanced Empathy - He can instinctively detect and change the strength of emotions or even make it the opposite, for example change someone feeling a deep melancholy to a strong sanguine state of mind. He can manipulate emotions to summarise.

Mask

His mask is completely reflective and covers the front half of his face

Personality: Jason is an innocent, naive boy who is often smiling and seems and acts a lot younger than he is. He naturally gets along with people although many find his forward happy nature irritating, and is very hard to upset and never seems to take hints.
History: Jason's dad Riley always seemed to hide things from him and was always working at some CIA training academy teaching people so he never saw much of her, and his mum did her best to raise Jason but she was an emotional mess from the start. He patiently watched how she acted and by the time he was 7 Jason would be comforting her with logic and emotion, loving how he could change her from sad to happy with his words. Once the incident hit, he no longer even had to use words.

Mask Appearance:

Mask

Personality: Riley Steel is a genius under the charade of a simpleton. He can appear to be disorganized, distracted and sometimes absent-minded, but he is really very shrewd, cunning and a genius when it comes to organizing students. He is quite joking and friendly in classes but can be ruthless with his words at times, embarrassing students in front of others. He often gets very absorbed in what he is doing and often goes into famously long-winded and incredibly complex technical explanations.
Subject Teaching: Maths
History: To be formed IC as I can normally make it better once I form the character a bit more by roleplaying them

"No need to be afraid, but someone in my line of work can't trust anyone who comes up to him just because they've got a pretty face," Orion chuckled, figuring out two main ways that she could possibly take that flattery, which would allow him to understand her personality a lot better, while at the same time putting on a more friendly facade. Damn I'm a genius Orion internally mused to himself, biting his lip and looking at the girl, waiting for a response.

The Masks We Wear

OOC is up!

The Masks We Wear (Full for Now)

Masks are a part of everyday life. There's a mask we wear for our family, another for our friends, one for our enemies and one for the world. Masks are the only reason society functions. God knows what would happen if everyone was bluntly honest

Due to a mass viral incident on the school grounds of Eden City High, all people there under 20 became infected with a virus that made them pass out for 2 weeks. When they woke up, they all had... gifts. Superpowers, to be frank. The government swooped in at the first sign of this and replaced the staff with similarly 'gifted' teachers. They still save the world at night, but kids gotta go to school, right?

Orion's mind analyses the situation. Use of the word friends probably means that that was all of them. No other back-up. Good, Orion figured that probably put him in the advantage. Or maybe not, he can't figure anything for sure. Better to play it safe. "You're sure going to a lot of trouble to see little ol' me, and I haven't even gotten your name yet," he said, not stating his own name due to believing this young woman must've known who he was sitting here, not even considering the fact it was a coincidence.

The Farmhouse (Dead)

This was too good to be true. An eerie open door, a hint of horrors to come maybe. Simply awesome. Seems like the place a psycho murderer would stay. Either that or there's noone there but still, at least Orion could see the fear on the others' faces. "Goodbye cruel world.... I'm leaving you today.... Goodbye... goodbye..... goodbye..." Orion sung darkly with thinly veiled mirth at the situation.
