All my coven cast are done! I think once you're done with yours we can start? Or do you have any other things you wish to discuss further first?

New Teen Titans - Next Guardians of Jump City

I wonder how Ryan and Rune's meeting will go... Maybe she'll see him as a strange enemy? Maybe he'll freeze the air around him? Find out, next time on Dragon Ball Z!

@pyroman

Lol at the Dragon Ball part. XD

Jokes aside, posted! Writer's block is back to haunt me again, so apologies for the short post.
Let's just hope that those two won't go too far and demolish the whole tower - I'm sure Robin would not be pleased, at all. :P

New Teen Titans - Next Guardians of Jump City

R A I L G U N

( Runé Langley )

After being greeted by the automatic sliding doors that admitted her in silence, she glanced around - the tower appeared to be deserted, which was queer to Rune's sharp eyes: traces of fresh paint could be seen on the walls, and there wasn't so much of a speck of rust on any of the well-polished metallic surfaces. Signs that this place had frequent visitors dropping by.

A sudden rush of cold draft prickled her artificial skin dotted with microscopic chips to allow her experience the sense of touch like biological humans do - she balled her fists and took a defensive stance. Someone else is here. She couldn't help but shudder as the surrounding temperature dropped lower and lower. She let out an irritated 'tch' through her gritted teeth and raised the shotgun barrel on her arm at the ceiling. "Show. Yourself."

BANG.

All hell broke loose: water burst out of the sprinklers, showering the place with an angry roar; the sound of the alarm blasted throughout the building, which made Rune's ears ring to its steady beat. She shook her head, trying to refocus - she summoned the rest of her hidden armaments, feeling her body rising with excitement.

Maybe this could be a chance for her to show off her abilities to her recruiter, the Teen Titans.

S A C R Y E D

( Kenji Shihouin )

The first time Beast Boy spotted Kenji was a random encounter along the streets of Harajuku - maybe due to his constant interaction with the ever-bizarre Starfire who tried to teach her alien customs to the team, he could read from that boy's awkward body language that he was definitely more that what he seemed. Curiosity got the better of him, and he decided to follow Kenji to find out more.

It didn't take him long to have his gut feeling answered.

Once Kenji closed his apartment door behind him, Beast Boy - who had transformed into a small rat and hid himself in the pocket of the teen's overcoat - watched in awe as the strange teen shedded his skin to reveal a silvery one underneath, his pretty face smoothed out into a plain metal mask. The boy turned his head and sighed at the faceless reflection on the mirror above the shoe-rack, then he changed back into the human appearance from before.

The Titan took his chance to slip away when Kenji removed the coat and threw it on the sofa - from the shadow of the space beneath the coffee table, Beast Boy took one final look at the tired expression on the boy's face before he snuck off silently, his mind lost in thought, leaving to his animal instinct to navigate out of the place.

"Are you sure? Really really sure about this?"

Kenji inched back as Lady Nana, the manager of the host club he had been working at, towered over him, her heavily penciled eyes scrutinizing him unblinkingly. He gave her a weak smile. "Y-Yes. It's...an urgent family thing that I cannot decline."

Lady Nana seemed to falter a little at his half-assed attempt to charm her, but she quickly collected herself and closed her eyes. "Well, it appears that none of us are able to stop you from leaving, but we're going to miss you a lot, honey."

Kenji gripped the communicator in his pocket. He had already made his choice. "I'm sorry about this too. Goodbye."

"Don't say that! Don't make it sound as if you're never coming back."

I'm sorry, he apologized quietly at the saddened look on her heavyset face. There's no turning back now.

Heros' of Olympus -Secret Behind the Eyes

The prophecy sounds like a song more than some terrifying poem about the terrible fate that awaits our characters ^^;
And I think the nymphs would be better singers than Rachel to recite that?

Or maybe we can break that up into segments, which can be revealed bit by bit as the RP progresses?

Sekirei ~Pure Sanctuary~

Eh, should have made myself clearer. Original as in OC Sekirei, not canon Sekirei. ^^; Sorry about the confusion.

So you would like to create the OC Sekirei along the way as the RP goes instead? That can work, but we still need a few preset ones to work on in the beginning.
Hmm, so I pick 3 random numbers to use as starter Sekirei?

RECORD

< Plots & Timeline >

1: Beginning of the End

• Yuki Kaguya finally feels the truth behind the saying: "curiosity kills the cat", and has to pay the price for snooping around the database of the facility she is working as an intern at. Okay, maybe not quite - she is merely sent away to Fukuoka as a participant of the Second Sekirei Plan along with a companion No.11 Houkatori, but there is something more that greets them at the door of their new 'home'...
  
  Meanwhile, Hikari Mino mundane daily routine is broken by the appearance of a strange gun-girl who introduced herself as No.49 Nagisa, claiming him to be her 'master'... and bringing him into a game that will completely shatter his normal life beyond his wildest dreams.

2: Closing In

• The 'spy' that the organization has sent to watch Yuki and Houka is none other than No.88 Yajuu. Other than the tension between him and her partner, Yuki is glad that he seems fully intent on keeping to his words; well, just short of blowing up the house with their childish arguments. However, she is about to find out how short-lived this peaceful time will be...
  
  On the other side, Hikari and Nagisa are having a hell of a night, encountering one enemy Sekirei after another... and even attract the local police on their tails! Nagisa's sniper rifle isn't meant for close-range battles, and she is being pushed to her edge with such a disadvantage... Just when all hopes are lost and the petite Sekirei is about to die under the gigantic scythe of No.94 Sae, an unlikely comrade suddenly comes to the rescue...

3: To Be Announced

• Coming soon!

PREMISE

< Introduction >

Main Theme

---

The MBI had fallen, with former CEO Hiroto Minaka and head researcher-cum-wife Takami Sahashi taken into UN custody. To the general public, this seemed to be the end of the insane Sekirei Plan. The then-impregnable walls around Tokyo were removed, opening Japan's capital to the rest of the world once more. People across the country cheered, happy but tearful reunions erupted in every city and town, whether big or small.

How ignorant they were.

The UN was nowhere better than MBI, for their curiosity - their greed - had harbored another war, which would be far bloodier than the first. Not to mention an underground human experiment that would raise questions about the morality within UN. What had become of the UN now? The treacherous trail led deeper and deeper into the pit of unknown, of dark hidden secrets shocking enough to put humanity to a standstill.

Let the Second Sekirei Plan begin.

LORE

< Terminology >

Sekirei Plan & Project S2

The very first Sekirei project, the Sekirei Plan, was developed by Hiroto after he discovered one of the eight spaceships that landed on Earth, specifically the one at Kamikura Island. Originally called the S-Plan, it was initiated to protect the sleeping Sekirei from the attacking international army, but it was later turned into a dangerous (sometimes deadly) game, using Tokyo - and later, Kamikura Island itself - as the battleground. During the Fourth Stage, the awakening of the Kouten caused the defensive wall around the island to disappear; the international troops took advantage of it and stormed in, eventually rounding up the remaining Ashikabi and Sekirei, ending the Plan. The Kouten, along with the 'pillar' Sekirei Miya Asama, vanished from the site and no one knew where it had gone to. Some speculated that it probably left Earth and drifted out into space, finally at peace and away from the wrath of humanity.

Shortly after the troops gained possession of the Sekirei files, the UN passed down a search warrant and unearthed four other Sekirei spaceships across the world, with the last one still not found yet. Project S2 was secretly activated: this became the prologue to a new Sekirei game set in Fukuoka, a city in the Kyushu area of Japan.

Ashikabi & Sekirei

Ashikabi (葦牙) are humans who possess unique genes that enable them to 'wing' a Sekirei through an exchange of DNA via a kiss. Upon establishment of the contract, an everlasting bond is forged between the Ashikabi and his/her Sekirei, which awakens the dormant power inside the Sekirei.

The original Sekirei (鶺鴒) are extraterrestrial beings with similar genetic and physiological makeup as humans; each of them possesses a Sekirei Core, which is the main source of their superpower and enhanced abilities compared to an average human. After the conclusion of the initial Sekirei Plan and the discovery of the remaining five Sekirei spaceships, a new numbering system is created, containing a mix of 'pures' (actual Sekirei recovered from the ships) and 'clones' (humans with Sekirei Cores forced into them).

The bond between an Ashikabi and his/her Sekirei is a lot more than these forms of relationship, such as master-servant, or even emperor-concubine; an Ashikabi and a Sekirei establish a contract through the process of 'winging', which is often triggered through the growing affection and love the two parties share. Winging will unlock the true power of the Sekirei, allowing him/her to use Norito, a special move in the form of a prayer unique to each Sekirei, which can amplify their abilities to their maximum potential.

Sekirei Crest & Termination

Upon the completion of the ritual, a Sekirei Crest will appear on the back of the winged Sekirei, usually below the neck area. The crest is the proof of the Sekirei's loyalty to his/her Ashikabi, so much so that it can be equated to his/her own life. If the crest disappears, the Sekirei is considered as terminated.

There are two known ways to remove the crest:

• The first - which is the most common - is to inflict massive damage to the Sekirei. Once the Sekirei has received injuries beyond his/her limit, the crest will automatically disappear, rendering the Sekirei immobile.
• The second is to touch the crest and recite a prayer (which is unique to each Sekirei), which will erase the crest from the Sekirei.

StarRiders: Hoshizora no Riders [Gowi, Tsukune]

I'll work on the CS's some more when I pop back on. But yeah... it's 10 in the morning and I haven't retired to sleep yet.

@Gowi

Seriously - no hurries, no pressure!
Anyway I'll complete the summary tomorrow. It's late here and I'm seeing sleepy stars.
