Tally Dor

The Fae Design. <M seeking F>

You remember when you were just a wee thing. Your old grandmother used to warn of the fair folk that dwelt amongst the trees deep within the ancient woods. Time has passed and your grandmother and her stories have been absent as you passed into your adult years. Now you find yourself somewhere you should know better than to be.

The woods now seem endless. Do you fear? Or do you find comfort amongst nature? Looking behind you, the path that brought you here has vanished. The hair on your neck raises slightly. It feels like you are being watched but no matter where you turn. It is simple oak and thorn. The lullaby of the birds' echoes all around you.

You notice a flicker of movement out of the corner of your eye. Something crossed the sunshine that was cascading through the pines. Only now does your grandmother's voice resound in your mind.

"Beware darling dearest. The Fae. The Fae design brings not but tears."

---------------------------------

Hello!! If this small excerpt has caught your eye. I have in my mind a story that could go in multiple directions. Were you seeking to disappear? An adventurer? Someone who was just passing by and took a wrong turn?

Romance?!? Action?!?! Bitter betrayal?!? A little dab of it all?! Good gosh almighty, the possibilities. Nothing even says you have to play a human, though what I would deem the standard story in my mind and its world has that as the default placeholder female lead. I won't say no to a curveball if it's interesting.

If you are still here despite my ramblings, please shoot me a DM so we can iron out the details.

The Weeping had entertained the trio and their barrage of questions. Though it was probably safe to say most of the questions were not answered as well as any would have liked as The Weeping was largely unaware of most things pertaining to himself. A consciousness that had awoken mere weeks ago was still learning in a sense. A corpse that was fueled by negative emotions with the bulk of it was aimed at one crime family in particular.

He had just finished replying to a question that Steven had asked him when his orange eyes narrowed onto a brochure on a nearby table. The headline caught his attention. Or rather a name.

Delgato.

He wished them all well before vanishing saying he business to attend to but wished to meet up with them all later if he survived. A warning hung in the air to not judge him to harshly, but he did not elaborate further.

----------------------------

The Weeping rested curled up on a fetal position with his hands tightly grasping his back. He had found himself an alcove on the tallest building next to the Millennial Dome. He had unleashed a handful of spirits earlier that were spread throughout the inside of the building as well as the outside. His silent invisible eyes and ears.

As the Delgato's limo came into view The Weeping felt all the normally calm spirits within him begin to writhe and squirm. He frowned as his brow furrowed as he tightened his grip onto his body. He could feel his skin stretching, his muscles twitching, as his body fought itself to not be torn apart in the chaos. Imprints of faces and hands pressing from inside against his skin as they tried to seek release to attack what they deemed the source of their unrest.

The spirits were screaming and The Weeping could begin to feel himself sweat as he struggled to keep the sentinel's stationary pleading with them that they lacked any physical ability to do anything to the man. His claws extending from his fingers and drawing lines of blood on his back as the pain helped him focus. The threat of loss of control of the mass of spirits wasn't what truly terrified him. He could feel it. The darkness at the edge of his mind.

It was moving.

He could feel her.

The presence.

Then like a bucket of water poured over a flame. There was silence. The spirits ceased. The voices stilled. The Weeping felt like he was hugged by a warm blanket. It was then that he heard the words. Soft like silk. Sweet like poisoned honey. He could even feel tender fingers caressing his cheek.

"REST...."

Nigel made an attempt to bat the hand away, but the swing was far too short and feeble like trying to swing underwater. After the initial struggle he grew still. As Nigel slept The Weeping rose to his full height as an animalistic grin split his face from ear to ear. Its eyes locked onto the moving target. He would not leave this dome, then the rest of his empire would come crumbling down.

Stay Awhile and Listen.

Just tossing another bump for people to read who haven't had the chance till I feel like posting again.

The Weeping

Location: The Lucky Noodle, Paragon City

The Weeping kept his expression neutral. Has hands outreached towards the sky as he slowly took a few tentative steps forward. His orange eyes had swept the room and focused on the four that had responded to him. He recognized two of them. The old man who ran this place. He instinctively knew his name to be Ken. A new face stood beside Ken. Glancing him up and down his eyes caught a small glimpse of the shine of the badge on his belt and he spoke with an authority that seemed to back his guess.

A cop?

He didn't even need to focus on Julia. He could sense her frustration from here and rightly so. A small sigh escaped his lips.

"It is a long story to each of your questions."

Noticing a small table within arm's reach, he tilted his head towards it indicting his intentions.

"I am not ignoring you officer. Just wishing to put myself in a more vulnerable position to show I mean no harm."

With his arms still in the air, he used his foot to hook a chair leg and pull it to the table as he sat down and allowed his hands to slowly rest on the table.

The Weeping looked at Ken first his expression was searching but for what one couldn't tell, and he didn't speak for a few seconds as if pondering his words.

"I am called The Weeping. I..." His words faltered as a sad smirk crossed his face. "I am vengeance." He slowly rubbed his forehead. It sounded foolish to him. How was it supposed to sound any better to them? His hand dropped back to the table as his focus sharpened as he thought of a better angle to explain.

"This city is a cesspool of corruption. So many gangs running amok. So many people going missing. So much death."

He slowly gestured to himself.

"I am the remedy. I do not fully know my origins. I merely came to be several weeks ago in the La'moi swamps."

His eyes moved towards Julia.

"Upon leaving the swamp I discovered a rundown forgotten section of Night haven run by a small-time gang lord known as Fat Tony and got rid of him. I made that section of the city, several alley ways known as the Melting Pot my base of operations."

Now for the hard part. The first part was definitely a stretch to believe even in a world of superheroes. Now the second part was going to be worse. It would also pose him as an even bigger threat by the implications.

"I have many spirits inside of me. All crying out for one thing. Or so I thought." His eyes cutting away from Julia back towards Ken.

"Amara of the Void gave me a proposition to get that girl in exchange for a chance to get close to the leader of the Delgatos so I could end him. I didn't want to take it, but something drove me to. When I grabbed her she defended herself and when I came to all the voices inside my head were quiet."

The Weepings orange eyes appeared relieved at the thought. "For the first time in weeks, I heard nothing. It was then that I realized I had been controlled...influenced....by a powerful spirit and when Maddie forced it to sleep, I regained control."

He looked upward towards the ceiling taking his eyes off of them.

"I have come to realize I care for the people at the Melting Pot and Amara is angry that I failed. So thus..."

His voice trailed off before he whispered.

"I need help."

The Weeping was silent for a time before his head lowered and he glanced towards Ken. His expression changed. It softened almost seemed a mixture of worry and sadness and the voice that left his lips was a lot softer.

"You need to let it go Chef."

Yes! I also wished for this to continue but sadly this happens all too often here!

He paced back and forth on the roof top. He had come here plan in hand but now was starting to doubt his choices. He had only been here not that long ago and caused a major ruckus and nearly killed someone. Was he expecting them to welcome him with open arms? They'd just roll out the red carpet and bygones be bygones? He frowned and bit down on his finger near his knuckle in frustration.

Even if he could talk to them without them instantly attacking him, would it make a difference? Oh sorry I wasn't in my right mind. Want to be friends now? Despite the fact that a switch could be flipped and all of a sudden, he's a danger to anyone he doesn't consider useful now. He stopped his pacing at the realization and retreated inwardly trying to feel out the spirit in question.

Strange.

He couldn't sense them anymore. Or more specifically it was like something was blocking his ability to reach out to them. He could feel all of the other spirits in his subconscious, but it was like there was a haze or a fog that kept him from digging deeper. Unsure just what this meant The Weeping rubbed the back of his head in thought. At least this meant for now they weren't a problem, but it did hint at possible future problem. He had no way of knowing what it was planning.

Releasing a deep sigh his shoulders dropped. All this back and forth in his head was getting him nowhere. He had always considered himself a man of action. Looking down at his fingers he watched them as the claws seeped back into his skin and in their place were normal human fingers. He flexed them and walked into a shadow near him.

His eyes were quick to adjust to the sudden fluorescent light as he exited out of the shadows furthest from everyone coughing to get the attention of everyone in the room. His hands were held up high to show he meant to no harm.

"I think we all got off on the wrong foot and I wish to talk."

The Weeping tried to give a small smile fully aware he was potentially walking into a death trap. He hated that Amara had pushed him into such a position.

Lamplight

I know its not my turn but whos turn is it?

Heroes, Defend the City!

@Azure Bubbles I could see Aurora fangirling over him potentially.

David would be all "Ok, listen here stagelight. My daughter wants your autograph."

Heroes, Defend the City!

Ok so my original plans for the day fell through. So this is the result of that free time!! I know this is a bit ambitious two characters and all but they are a team! I also understand Starshine's power is more on the 'interesting' side. I am open to criticism Tho!

David Lettum / Guardsmen

Name: David Lettum
Alias: Guardsmen
Age: 58
Gender: Male
Family:
Wife: Camie Lettum (Deceased)
Daughter: Aurora Lettum
Appearance: David has really let himself go. He appears extremely shaggy and his clothing is usually a dirty t-shirt and likewise stained jeans. Stands at 5'10.

Facial appearance

His superhero suit looks like this. The only difference being it is much smaller. Being roughly 9 feet tall.

Mechsuit

Superpower: No superpowers per say. Just an absurd amount of cash. His mech allows him to fly with jet propulsion. It also has shoulder mounted missile launchers and a retractable blade built into the right hand that he can swing around like a sword. The suits weaknesses are it can run out of ammo. The main chassis where David sits is ultra reenforced bullet proof glass (Still a substantial weakpoint). The mech is capable of easily lifting vehicles and at full speed can hit mach 1.

Skills:
Cooking: Aurora would argue this one definitely needs work.
Business minded: He runs a successful space company and countless other side ventures that have built his wealth over decades.
Dedicated: When he puts his mind to something. He does not stop.

Equipment: Smart watch, various tablets with different purposes, cell phone.

Personality: Overly protective to a fault of Aurora. His entire world revolves around her. His empire that he has built is nothing but dust in the wind compared to her. His mind is still sharp, and he tends to really exaggerate things for effect. Does not like to be bothered when he starts a project.

Biography:
David took most of his young adult life on the grind. He was forever pursuing education and striving to better himself. He finally founded his independent space program that most of the world uses for its various projects regardless of country. It was in the prime of his life that he encountered Camie and the two immediately hit it off and became wed. Tragedy struck the young couple when they discovered they were unable to have children. Yet they never gave up trying not wanting to adopt.

Decades passed and the two found themselves on vacation in the Atlas Mountains in Africa when they by chanced upon a cave that a rockslide had uncovered. Inside of it they found a cavern full of iridescent crystals that seemed to shine and shimmer in countless different colors. They did not understand it at the time but they both felt as if something was pressing upon them to make a wish. David and Camie glanced at one another trying to process just what sort of wish to make. Camie already had her mind made up. For the one thing she had longed for her entire adult life. While David being more business minded pondered, yet before the two could truly voice their desire. A massive earthquake struck, and the ceiling begun to cave in. David immediately knew his wish was for the two of them to get out safely.

It was not meant to be. As the wish crossed his mind a rock the size of a small dog struck his wife. She perished almost instantly, but as all this was happening the crystals begun to shine and a small figure walked out of the bright light. Shining as brightly as the sun in a rainbow of colors. She grabbed David and the next thing he knew they were both outside. The cave was now sealed but before it completely collapsed, he saw that the crystals had all vanished. It was now just a tomb for his wife. The strangest thing in this tragedy was this girl looked a lot like his wife.

He has now dedicated the last 10 years of his life to this mystery of the crystals and Aurora.

Relationships: None atm.

Extra: This is his dialogue color.

Aurora Lettum / Starshine

Name: Aurora Lettum
Alias: Starshine
Age:10
Gender: female
Family: Father: David Lettum

Appearance: Aurora tends to wear whatever she feels like for the day so her wardrobe is quite varied, but it is all very bright and colorful like her appearance. Much like her hair, her skin, and eyes are also iridescent. Stands at 4'5.

Facial appearance

Starshine hero suit

Her superhero suit is a state of the art nanotechnology suit that repairs itself whenever it sustains damage. David claims shes safer in this suit than he is in his mech but she somehow doubts it.

Superpower: Born of two wishes. Her powers are a bit complicated to understand. It seems like she feeds off of, and gains power based on what people wish for or desire around her. Likewise her powers diminish if there are too many around her that are undecisive or negatively align with her desires. She is capable of encases herself in bright iridescent light that can then be expelled like a massive beam towards whatever she targets. She has also begun to use it on just various parts of her body giving her a boost in whatever she is doing. The weaknesses are her power makes her tired and if she finds herself alone in a negative situation, she is almost powerless. Only having the reserves she had with her before she was alone.

Skills: Singing. Dancing. Coloring.

Equipment: Cellphone. Safety beacon.

Personality: Aurora is bright, cheerful, eager, and always ready to try and make someone smile. She burns with a desire to help people and will do whatever she can to help others even if it hurts herself in the process.

Biography: When Aurora came into being. She felt a directive instilled upon her to escort David her father out of the cave. Thought she did not understand at the time she was also touched with sorrow. The blinding light that encased her and David hid the tears she still not understand as the beam that radiated from her chest blew rubble out of existence and she was able to pull him to safety. From that time on it was a period of learning about the world around her. From a biology standpoint she was like a five-year-old girl. But 10 years later she had barely aged five years.

David has used his immense wealth to run tests countless tests upon Aurora trying to understand her. Trying to make sense out of any of it. She really appreciates him and treats him like her father. The duo became superheros because it was Aurora's desire to help out the world around them. David being without powers was not about to let his daughter go without him. She they became a duo.

Relationships: None at the moment.

Extra: She is scared of the dark,but makes her own light so when she's powerless and not producing any light. The fear is paralyzing.
This is her dialogue color.
