@irredeemable If your character was caught exceeding the speed limit (15 mph) they would be ticketed incessantly. Those things are new after all.
The Office


Albert made his way towards the office and took his keys to unlock the front door. He was early, as usual. He had to be there in order to get things ready for the rest of the workers. Despite being the head manager, he still had his own boss to please.

Donut in mouth, coffee pinched to his side with an elbow, keys in one hand, briefcase in the other, newspaper against his other side..he kept things moving. At least as much movement as an overweight, balding man could.

As he made his way into his enclosed office within the main office he sat down to enjoy his bounty. Humans had long ago moved on from being hunter gatherers, but the need to conquer had never left. Albert happened to "conquer" his coffee, donut, and newspaper 30 minutes before they opened.

Now what..
Everything is Normal



Welcome to "Everything is Normal." Where most everything is..normal. Working that office job that pays just enough to make you not wanna quit, but not enough to make you wanna stay. Don't get me started on the boss either; he is an overweight, lazy, coffee addict with a penchant for looking over your shoulder to make certain you aren't browsing cute animal photos on his time.

Does this sound mundane and boring to you yet? Because it should. Of course now and again some unexplainable things may occur. A water cooler exploding randomly. A monster attack here and there. Nothing out of the ordinary for Anytown USA.

What type of character you play as is entirely up to you. Ex-con with a bad temper? A woman who's only companions are house cats? Or maybe a millennial with punctuality problems, dyed hair and gauges in his ears? You decide! No character sheets required. Simply jump in with a brief explanation of who your character is and your good to go. In case you haven't noticed, humor is very important in this roleplay. Here we will play by the rule of funny. If it's funny, make it happen. Inspiration is taken from; The Office (US), The Simpsons, and One Punch Man.

Now, who is ready for some boring, repetitive roleplay?! I know I'm not.
I will make it now. PREPARE YOURSELVES
Mantis - Warehouse



Mantis nodded to the others and motioned them to head towards their target. He expanded his emotional perceptions and felt distinct feelings isolated in certain areas of the building. Objects did not feel, making it highly likely that there were people behind those feelings.

Mantis pointed out the areas he had perceived quickly, giving the correct hand signs that there were people in those areas. Four closer to the windows on the second floor, and at least ten on the main floor. Of course his perceptions were not without their limits. If someone wasn't feeling any particularly strong emotion it would be easy to miss them in the mass. However, it was strange to see that the building was in complete darkness. In fact, if Mantis hadn't used his ability, he probably would have been fooled. "They won't be getting out of this one that easily," he thought to himself.

If everything went as planned, Zach would enter in the front taking them by surprise. His invincibility was a huge advantage and Mantis intended to use it. Mantis had taught Zach multiple different strikes to use in combat. There wasn't much of a need to teach him to defend. So, Zach was able to become somewhat decent within a short time.

For himself, Mantis intended to scale up through the building's escape ladder. Then he would knock out the people above once their attention was split with Zach. The people inside who were hostile to Zach would be taken out non-lethally if possible. If they had guns or deadly weapons, Mantis would aim to disarm them with his submachine gun; killing if necessary.

Farce could scale around the back with Axel. They were particularly fond of eachother and worked very well together. Axel would help to supplement Farce`s stealthier tactics with his deadly canines. That one-two punch would cripple their reinforcements from behind.

As for their new recruit...that was more of a question. Obviously she would be good at supporting their efforts. But what would she do during combat? Perhaps she could follow him up the ladder and take down the guards from above.

As they headed for the building Mantis motioned for Genevieve to follow him as he made his way towards the ladder. He began to climb up to where the second floor would be. Then Mantis peeked inside a window to see a few people strolling about on those exposed walkways. It was too dark to tell, but it appeared like they were holding various objects in their arms. Excitement began to pump out of Mantis` being. Anyone within his immediate vicinity would feel the very same thing. He turned toward Genevieve and gave a thumbs up, his eyes filled with anticipation of the hunt. He unstrapped his Mp5 and flipped the safety off. Then he aimed through the window with it to get a better view.

"Yippee ki-yay.." he whispered barely within audible range of Genevieve. It was more for him then anyone else.




Damien/Swarm - Minutemen "Headquarters"



Damien watched the lit cigarette in the street as it began to die out. Then, someone began to chide him for his carelessness, walking towards him. He couldn't help but smile menacingly in response, "I couldn't care less, Captain planet. Why don't you pick it up for me if you care so much?"

As he spoke he took out another, lighting it up. Then he proceeded to blow the smoke in the tree hugger`s direction.
@Lie All newcomers are welcome!
@semibarbaric@iTem@Heroicsociopath@Typhon

I didn't realize anyone else was interested haha. If you guys and gals could confirm by responding, I would be happy to start up the first IC! This is pretty experimental, so let's see what happens! I'd like to keep the language and descriptive violence down to a pg/13 lvl.
@AngelofOctober Like Jeff said, but of you would like some inspiration I'd be happy to help :)
@Gardevoiran Soo close...
Update



Hello all! I like what I see in Reign and would like to applaud you all for your excellent jobs of taking over your characters. It brings tears to my eyes, sniff. I haven't had a posting time limit yet since everyone is doing well on that. However, for the sake of consistency I would like to put an encouragement date of at the latest 1 week. That means I'd like you all to post at the latest 1 week after it is your turn. If a week passes, you don't have to wait for someone to post if you can squeeze something in a character building post when it is non-action. I will then notify whoever is late and we will continue from there. Obviously if you send me a message and notify us of how you will be late, that is completely understandable.

I'm super excited to continue this folks and already have so much planned for this rp! Thanks for joining me friends! rubs hands together in anticipation
