Legend of Korra - For Lack of A Better Path

Well considering I'm moving to a different OOC you should see the interest check section for the link. I haven't put it up but it will be soon.

Legend of Korra - For Lack of A Better Path (2)

Wu Xing a town where fortunes, promises, and lives are made and lost. The city being the airway stop towards Republic City and a major gambling hub has made the city prosperous in it's own right. It is the start of summer and the city is alive with the movement of the locals, rich, poor, middle class, or otherwise. It has been three months since the Equalist attack on Republic City and it's subsequent take over by Amon's forces and then their failure to hold the city after the unmasking of their leader and with his deception found out many abandoned their former leader's side and where he is now is unknown. The Equalists, for all intents and purposes, are fractured and or gone vanishing back into everyday life. Avatar Korra is hailed as a hero as is the majority of the Republic City Defense Force and the United Alliance's armies. Wu Xing has been a major stopping site for the military since then and have made an outpost at the police station sharing the space with the local law enforcement. The Metal Benders have relocated towards the Metal Bending Academy even though the force there is meager at best due to the Alliance's power being mainly in it's naval fleet. The force is only there to be in-betweens for the Police and the Military Officers. So far crime has been escalating as of late due to the feuding Red Cat Gators and the Blue Flame Triad over territory in the central part of the city causing police to try and crack down to little success due to Sai Lang's apparent ability to pick days when the police are busy with other matters. So far in the gang war The Blue Flames are winning not due to victories over the Cat Gators, in fact they've lost most of the fights, but because the territory lost by the Cat Gator's lack of offensive movements have allowed the Blue Flames to pick away at the Cat Gators slowly and thus eroding the territory between the two.

Today is also the first day of Pro-Bending Circuit ELITE's tournament with the Silver Shark Whales taking on the Grey Snake Badgers in the first fight then it's between the Orange Horned Eels against the local Team The Pink Horned Kangaroos. There are numerous other teams involved all competing in this tournament to be crowned Wu Xing's ELITE Pro Bendering Champions. The rules being the usual except instead of a single loss you can loss up to two times in order to get as much out of the tournament as possible. Those who lose are ejected from the tournament and entered into a loser's bracket. with a huge grand prize for them, which is also dwarfed by the winner and runner up's prize. The pick to win this year is hard as The Silver Shark Whales are known for their uncanny team work and brutal all around tactics while the Pink Horned Kangaroos are more than capable of sweeping a team in moments. however with the hometown advantage who knows what they are really going to try this year!

===

The crowd cheering and hollering was normal for the Silver Shark Whales at this point. Even the hollering they heard from their locker room didn't phase them anymore. They stood together, unified and strong, against the opposing enemy group the Kolau Komodo Rhinos whom had recently competed in Republic City. They were solid opponents....but Ren really didn't think much of them at all. Ren pulled on his uniform's last parts and breathed in deeply before going down and doing some push ups on the locker room floor. His uniform was as silver as a coin, and when he up looked at Lee's face he noticed the man was doing his usual workout, Lee had been in uniform for about three hours prior to this in order to get himself into his groove as he called. He hoped up and down on one leg as if he was preparing for a race. He moved his arms around in circles and his face, which Ren could finally look at, was stone cold as usual. Lee was the kind of jaded person who really couldn't give two damns if he could he was attacked by a sea serpent. He'd probably kill it and eat the thing before it could land a hand on him.

Hana's long dark hair was spun up in a bun as she came in from finishing up putting on her uniform. She had about as much modesty as a carnivorous beast eating something in front of a squeamish person. In other words next to none at all. That didn't stop her from being an all around great person and the soul of their team, if she didn't have any then they would be called the stone statues instead, and she had the most amount of fans out of all of them often going to sign autographs and paper interviews. Ren knew his friends well and despite their flaws they would go out there and they would make a statement tonight. They were going to bring down the house. "Alright guys let's beat'em till they run home crying to whatever hole they came from." Hana Ji shouted with passion as she grabbed Ren and hauled him off the floor and grabbed Lee's hand and shoved them together into a circle, "We're in the opening and we're the first show Hana there's no need to act like we're in the finals." Lee said as per on cue because Hana usually did this and Lee would keep complaining to her that this was not especially helping him keep focus. "Yeah yeah yeah I heard it for the fifty billionth time you hard headed spider monkey." Hana said in jest as she grabbed Ren and pushed her face against his, "Alright Ren you ready big guy huh? Huh? Huh!?" She said in Ren's face as he looked at her with the same cold expression he usually gave her, "I'll get my job done just don't trip me with that water." Ren said as she pushed him back and grinned, "Damn right I won't! I am going to kick some BUTT!" She said with a fist pump in the air as Lee grabbed her helmet from the shelf nearby and shoved it down on top of her head. "Yeah we got it....I'm. going. to. go. out. there. and. wreck. them.." Lee stated calmly with slow words as if to punctuate though he didn't especially feel excited he was still going to go out there on the top of his game. "Alright no need to talk like that I'm crazy not slow like a elephant snail. Now let's go!.....What side are we on again?" Hana asked as Lee groaned, "Blue." Lee complied as she pushed past the two of them and out into the hallway. "Ready partner?" Lee asked simply and calmly as Ren cracked his fingers and moved past him towards the door himself, "I always am ready. The day I'm not ready is when I'm too old to move my fingers." Ren answered as the two entered the hallway and walked towards the arena.

"...And introducing the team in the blue corner representing the town of Hong Lu City in the Fire Nation The Silver Shark Whales!" The announcer called out as the bridge extended towards the middle of the ring to the sound of both boo's and cheers as Hana Ji, who head the three of them despite Lee being the designated 'leader' of the group, waved her hands back and forth to all of the fans equally. The crowd was wild as the announcer called them each by their nicknames then their real names, which were their gimmick, as the group entered the blue zone and got into their designated positions. The announcer however still had words to say before the ref called for the fight to start. "...And we welcome you all to the first half of the ELITE Pro Bending Circuit of Wu Xing! This city is glad to have all of you here and the turn out is amazing I must say! The competitors are ready to go hard and give their all in this tournament to make sure that you all have the best possible matches you can get! You won't get these in Republic City! Now make some NOISE for the teams!" The crowd went wild with applause and noise and all various amounts of noise that just served to tick off both Lee and annoy Ren to some extent or another. Neither of them enjoyed loud noises but had gotten use to it because it was in their job description quite frankly. Ren tapped the floor and eyed off against his opponent whom eyed him back and the announcer called on it as the opposing team's Earth Bender pointed from his eyes to Ren's. "OH it looks like there is some tension between the teams from the START! Ken Ushia is calling out Ren Lau! But the Komodo Rhinos are intense they are STRONG and they are ready to go! BUT~ there is a reason they call Lee Shang The Boar-Q-Pine! Can they survive getting gored by his hard hitting fire attacks! And the hard strikes of Ren plus the lovely Hana Ji's swift movements make for one hell of a fight do they understand who they're calling out!? LET'S FIND OUT!" The announcer called as the ref whistled and the benders were given the usual rule set that was usually given and then sent back to their corners before the match was started.

It has been three months since the Equalist attack on Republic City and it's subsequent take over by Amon's forces and then their failure after the unmasking of their leader and his lies. The Equalists for all intents and purposes are fractured and or gone vanishing back into everyday life. Avatar Korra is hailed as a hero as is the majority of the Republic City Defense Force and the United Alliance's armies. With Republic City recovering from the destruction and still suffering from crime which has risen since the reinstatement of the police and the riots by still loyal Equalists. However some miles away from Republic City lies the trading route city similar to Republic City but without a reputable water source it heavily depends on it's airfields which allow the airships to bring in supplies by transport. There is a small river running through the city but the water is not sufficient for anyone but fisherman who barely make a meager earnings. This city is named Wu Xing (Earth in more native tongues) is home to not only a metal bender academy but is also a gambling capital and has well known Pro-Bending Tournaments hosted almost all year every month. However with that being said there are four gangs that have been unleashed upon the city making live miserable for the locals and travelers alike though they would protest that they do all that much to harm the city. The first of which being the Red Cat Gators, The Brown Mole Bears, The Blue Flames, and The Lightning Prodigals all of which are sly and very business savvy. However there's been rumors going about lately, unsettling ones at that, that say another gang is forming under the head of a mysterious man.

Alright FAQ Time:
1. Air Bending will be allowed but pro-benders don't have an air slot so that being said air bending will not be allowed with a pro bending background. You must not be very well known. The most likely scenario being that you came from a rather unknown area and are rather new to bending or have kept it rather secret. This is because Tenzin and his crew will take you away for training and then your character can't participate in the roleplay due to the fact he's in the next city over.

Once you start bending in the city you may very well be noticed but the canon cast will be kept out by: "Being busy with Equalists rebels" unless requested to make an appearance in which case they may come in late roleplay to see you.

2. Blood Bending, 'Duel' Bending, Lava Bending, and any advanced form of bending is off the table unless it's Metal Bending/Sand Bending which has become common. You may be able to learn them later. However doing so will cost you the ability to use better earth bending. Also Ice Bending in restricted to The Northern and Southern Water Tribes with some bare basics left to Foggy Swamp Tribe members.

3. I'm aiming for a group that is from their teens to early mid twenties. Adult characters are HEAVILY discouraged due to the nature of the roleplay. However if you must I'll allow an older character.

4. The canon cast will not be involved in this roleplay. The whole purpose of this being semi-canon is to get rid of any questions about the avatar and or who the avatar is at the moment. This also prevents people, including myself, from abusing the avatar's powers in roleplay. Canon cast shall not be allowed at all since they are off doing their own things..

5. This will be a little darker in the sense of a Dark Knight (Batman) sense where there will be violence and possibly death but not on a scale I hope to keep this true to the series and prevent character deaths if possible.

6. Non benders are allowed as long as they're not equalists themselves. They may have been trained by them but no actually involved themselves due to plot reasons. You also may be a chi-blocker or whatever be it and no be at all affiliated with the equalists past or present.

7. Pro benders are not allowed unless they are retired. Unless you or a group of your friends can get together and make a whole team plus a manager with a reputable background of how you're getting funded then I don't have the time to deal with an entire mini-group and their arcs. Please stick to one or two characters. My character will be a pro-bender but I'm use to handling more then five NPC's per roleplay I'm in and can effectively handle it.

8. This takes place four months before Harmonic Convergence AKA Season 2.

Rules:
1. GM's control and make this roleplay listen to them or be forced out
2. All standard roleplay rules apply
3. PG-13 Limits apply cursing and the like as well as bloody is allowed but this roleplay is meant to be kept in the spirit of the series.
4. Any important canon characters shall not have additional children unless requested and I MAY consider allowing it. Other Co-GM's if assigned do not have a place to allow canon offspring.
5. You accept the fact that you must inform me or someone of your departure from this roleplay. Doing so without my knowing (leaving the roleplay) will result in a permanent ban from any and all of my roleplays.

Legend of Korra - For Lack of A Better Path

You won't be a master per say but intermediate skill is acceptable. If you start out as 'master' where's the room for growth? Also keep in mind healing is a generally unqiue skill. For sake of fairness skill in water bending will be turned down a notch for those who have it. Sort of a checks and balances system. My guy for example. Pro bending earth who specializes heavily in his bending. He lacks most stuff combatants use without it. He also can't see in the ground but in return he has some rather interesting moves in his arsenal.

Yes but not as a pilot. They're offering you the chance to become more than just an engineer. Hey if that asshat Kira can do it so can you.

Mighty Morphing Power Rangers - A New Day

"I'm not sure about fun big man but one thing is certain. Taking some bug bites and pulling on some weeds for cold, hard, cash is certainly something I'm signing up for. Glad to see you all want a piece of the money. Good thing the others didn't come along." Joey commented as he stood up after getting all of his stuff together. "If you guys got classes later today I won't be able to drive you back just warning you all. I've got stuff to do myself so if you drive or take the bus go get into your cars in the case of the former or in the case of the latter just chill with me I got a minivan. It's not glamorous but it keeps me going from one place to another." Joey commented as he told them he was heading to the bathroom really quickly before he went to his car and told everyone where to meet him in a couple of minutes if they were going with him. If not he'd tell them to send him a text message.

"Phantom Ranger! Phantom Ranger!" Alpha Five exclaimed as Phantom turned around quickly to see what was going on. "What's up Alpha?" Phantom asked in his raspy voice, mostly due to the voice system built into the suit he wore, and walked over to the screen and behind his mask he frowned deeply. "There's a group of puddies in the forest! What are you going to do there's a lot of them! If only Zordon was here he'd know what to do." Alpha said as Phantom silently stared at the screen. He turned away quickly and went over to a console and started the teleportation sequence. "Alpha I'm going to take them all on." Phantom told Alpha patiently as the robot scrambled to help. But Alpha voiced his objections as he did so. "But you're alone and there are no more power rangers! Are you sure you can take them all on!? I think there's too many of them and I don't want you getting hurt!" Alpha said worriedly as Phantom grunted and chuckled, "You know Alpha you haven't lost your charm all of these years. Don't worry no grunts can take me on and there's no monster so it looks like whoever is behind this all hasn't consolidated power yet. With luck I can stop this before it gets bigger. Besides they're in the forest what are they going to hurt some shrubs? I'm setting myself nearby I don't want to be teleported on top of them. If I know one thing about these things is that they don't have a spec of intelligence more than a single pea." Phantom said with confidence as he vanished in a flash of greyish black energy.

Some time later....

Joey had finally got his stuff together and had driven with his companions towards the site he was talking about. Thankfully traffic had been low and the ride was nice due to the air conditioning. "So guys how's school going?" Joey asked the people in his van patiently as he kept his eyes on the road to watch out for nearby pedestrian hunters and or the local deer. God forbid he ran over a god damn skunk. "MAN I am not looking forward to getting bug bites Joey said with a sigh as he waited for his companion(s)' response(s). .
