My 'Hero' Academia - Devil's Due

As the villains went off to do their work a pro-hero who must've been teaching them, a man by the name of Zenith Heaven, approached the group in battle stance. His hands swirled with cyclones as he looked out at the villains scattering he tried to blow them back but one of the other villains used a earth based quirk to make a giant wall on both sides to stop the attack. As The Pale Man clapped his hands he smiled at the man. "How does it feel!? Zenith you're children are in danger, and you...you my good sir are royally fucked. Congrats...I hope your understand that our job here isn't to sell girl scout cookies." White Skull mocked Zenith openly as he raised his arms into the air as if welcoming an old friend to dinner. "What the hell is the world's most wanted terrorist doing in a fucking school training trip!? Why are you doing this?" growled Zenith as he noticed the blood on Skull's suit and winced. "Because I have employers too Zenith, I gotta have money to make my plans to do whatever I want, when I want. I work for myself but I still need to pay the bills you know." White Skull said as he clicked his fingers. "Kill'em...make it quick." commented the Pale Man with a sadistic dull tone suddenly quickly changing his persona as his thugs charged at the man in front of them.

As Diesel, and Midnight approached the city block they noticed that the area was already full of holes, and damaged training equipment. There were fake cars, lamp posts, and buildings located all around them. It was more or less the traditional city area you'd seen down town. The villains around them looked around and it wasn't long before suddenly in a blur of motion three of the ten villains were knocked on the rear end with a giant rock shape bruise on all of their heads. It didn't last long before that from somewhere ahead of them an arrow landed in front of them and exploded knocking two more of them on their butts dazing them. It would seem there was a speedster among the group at the very least. The boy, or girl wisely got out of dodge quickly enough and the person who shot the arrow had not followed through on the matter probably not to screw with their friend. "Fucking speedy brat!" One of the villains shouted in anger as he shouted loudly in front of them shattering the glass windows, and cars in its wake but it failed to lure out, or stop either of the current opponents.

The suburban district was large, and looked similarly to the city area however it was much more wide open, and spacious in comparison because the area was meant to replicate a traditional housing area. As the villains arrived here however there was a distinct lack of action. As Verd, and the others looked around they found little to indicate if anyone was there at all. "They must be hiding. We'll need to look around a bit. Anyone got any plans?" questioned a villain with a shark face as the others shrugged, one bulky guy spoke up saying that hey should just level the area. "Oh yeah with what quirk...bah this is wasting time we're here to do a job...we're going to do it got it?" the shark man chewed out the bigger hero.

When Aya's group arrived at the mountainous region she came face to face with a young man with fur covering all of his body with sharp claws, and fangs. He appeared to be a wolf boy with no intent on hiding. He was standing above them all on the high ground. "Unfortunately for you losers I heard that gunshot. Hope you're prepared to lose you two-cent-for-hire trash villains." the boy grumbled as a more meek boy with messy brown hair, and a track suit looked at his friend, and then at the villains with some fear in his eyes. "I...I won't lose you know! I'm not going to give up!" he said with as much confidence as he could muster he pointed his finger down at the group and shot a laser beam from his finger tips at Aya directly. However one of their allies protected her by using his large square shaped forearms as cover and the blows exploded harmlessly on the man. "The dumb brats are probably trying to get us to come to them...if I rush them you gotta quirk that can incap one of them? The others can handle the rest probably if you do." questioned the shield armed man in front of Aya. The area in front of them was a deep incline it'd be an uphill battle all the way up, and judging by the wolf boy he'd probably be agile enough to move around the area.

I would've moved us forward more today but today turned out to be an energy drainer for me. I'll try tomorrow.

My 'Hero' Academia - Devil's Due

@ZelosseAlright then how would you like me to do that in the future? I refuse to give any character special treatment on basis of not being biased as a gm so I will allow you to suggest a course of action.

My 'Hero' Academia - Devil's Due

Was waiting for more posts. Will post tomorrow just to make sure.

@ZelosseZelosse you have participated very minimally in outside of combat activities. I expect more interactions outside of combat otherwise I may need to eject you in the future. It not only does very little for your character as anything other than a beatstick but it also shows that you have no interest in actually rolelaying anything but combat fights.

The White Lotus Prophecy - An Avatar (TV series) based RP

Having just walked through the slums looking out to make sure people in Republic City's lowest point were not having too many issues, that he could help solve, Gao had taken himself out of the slums, and back into 'proper' society...if you could call the normal hard working individuals of this city proper. Gao had no true distaste for the every man, nor did he have any real like for them either. They had their lives, and they worked hard to maintain them. Be it sports, manufacturing, or food each person struggled, and pushed for their end goal. Peace...was hard to come by in Republic City. To much chaos...too much disorder, and crime. The police, and air nation did what they could but they were held back by bureaucratic red tape, and corrupt politicians who, even on the lower levels helped for a handful of coin they didn't need.

Gao was a traveler, and he was a lone traveler normally. He didn't mind company but he preferred quite places where he could listen to the wind, and hear the earth around him live. This place of machinery burst with its own form of life though. Artificial as it was, and superficial at best. Just a few hours ago Gao had managed to help a young girl overcome a fever with some help from a local doctor. He had also helped a man construct a shack. Both of the cases overlooked by society as a whole. An evil in its own doing. Not everyone could survive. And death was a natural part of the world. But why should they be looked down upon for simply being alive with less coin? He was no doctor, nor was he a man of influence. So he did what he could how he would if it would help. Though Gao was not entirely sold on his own creed. He understood sometimes it would be best to let some suffer because at times it was impossible for them to stop their suffering and it would only end soon in such causes like plague, and old age they had to work through their own issues.

Gao was not a hero for justice. He didn't preach his morals to anyone who asked. He talked, walked, and acted when he viewed it was necessary. Some would call him...cold, or distant but that was not true. He enjoyed hearing people talk when they actually had something meaningful to say. More often than not the average person had as much to say truly about themselves, or the world less than they did complaints about the weather being too cold, or them knocking over a pot and getting a rug dirty.

Having grown up in a small rural village in the Earth Sphere had allowed Gao to understand that wealth was something to be used sparingly, and while he was not rich per say he had saved much of the wealth people had given to him as a reward for his services. Gao didn't refuse, or ask for a reward usually but sometimes people offered too much in kindness he took what he deserved, or needed to keep going. As such he found himself spending lightly. He sat down in a noodle shop this day his staff tied to his back, and his somewhat dirty peasant clothes being pushed gently by the breeze. He ordered a bowl of ramen before sitting down next to an elderly man who nodded at him, and he did so in return. "Busy work day young man?" the man asked looking over Gao. He looked over himself and chuckled. "I suppose...but it is a day of work well spent." Gao said simply in return to the old man smiling gently as the old man told him he was a good man for having a respect for a good day of hard work, unlike his grandchildren, and went back to eating his own food. Gao was happy for once he was in a quiet shop with few people...and he could forget about the stupid politics he tried to avoid but inevitably always came back to as the world could be put aside for some rest.

Original Roleplay - Bloody Petals Fall - A Knight Roleplay

Alright I've gotten half way through the OOC, and I tried to make it work but in the end I feel like this roleplay won't work not due to any of you but the sheer amount of detail that I'm going to need to put down in the OOC, and still not make it feel barren in terms of world building. So I believe it would be best to cancel this roleplay before it starts. Because even with what I have so far a lot of it will depend on player imagination, and ingenuity on how they want to build their individual start points that we may not see during the roleplay.

Basically I feel like there will be a lack of detail that won't allow the rp to flourish as I originally intended it too, and would likely kill the rp before I get to the parts intended like engaging The High Chieftain, and the mid roleplay focus shift towards the end where most of the rp's central ideas were focused on. I apologize.

Ok well I'll see about posting tomorrow did you want me to interject myself into whatever conflict is going on (I haven't read the posts yet as of this moment typing this), or just do my own thing starting off? I'd prefer not to sandbox myself.

Original Roleplay - Bloody Petals Fall - A Knight Roleplay

Alright then I'll see about making an OOC tomorrow maybe the day after I've been busy with various stuff.

My 'Hero' Academia - Devil's Due

"Alright no more questions? Fine then get the hell in those trucks you god damn people don't get paid to stand around do ya?" complained Skull Face as no one with any substantial questions he turned around, and started to walk towards a nondescript black car with a few men in construction uniforms at the driving wheel, and the backseat. White Skull himself put on a face mask to hide his own appearance in order to make sure he wasn't recognized by the public if by chance someone was looking out for him. The many villains in the warehouse got into one of the trailers one by one. None of them were assigned to specific ones however each were given a zone to go to once they exited the trailer, assuming all went well. It wasn't too long until the trucks rolled out one by one in the warehouse, and Skull's boys who stayed behind closed it down after picking up the left over gear, and preparing bombs to be set just in case the heroes thought to snoop around they'd find a bad surprise.

It was a rather lengthy trip, and the villains inside grumbled, and mumbled as they moved half way across the city to do their job. They couldn't be too suspicious until they all pulled around to their location in order to screw with cameras, and police the tractor trailers moved through different districts making fake stops to cover their tracks for the upcoming police investigation. However the first trailer pulled up alongside the vehicle Skull Face had been driving in. As one of the people on patrol came to see what was going on the man driving Skull informed the guard that they were transporting extra stuff for the kids inside. The man said he wasn't informed about this but before he could finish his sentence White Skull pulled out his sawed off shotgun, and blew the man's head off before the man in the tractor trailer behind him leaned out of the window, and shot his fellow guards with a pistol.

As Skull got up, and pulled off his mask he went over to the gate's controls and opened the gate letting the crew drive the villains in, and then release them. As the other tractor trailers pulled in the whole crowd started to form at the front gate as Skull Face informed them cameras were dead thanks to a now dead repairman who was paid off earlier. As the villains huddled together after coming out Skull Face informed them who was going with who using general categories relating to quirks on who would go where. Verd would be going with a group of villains to the suburban training ground which simulated the casual suburbs of Japan. Diselpunk, and Midnight would be going to to the city area where they can use their quirks more destructively along with the other villains assigned to the area. And Aya, and Zion would be heading off to the mountain district to combat the kids there.

The Pale Man informed them that he would be staying behind as planned, and assigned some villains to assist him and his hit squad, he took requests on people who wanted to stay behind with him but he left them to their designs as other villains went out to hit the other zones that Shade Walker's Group wasn't assigned to handle. Without further delay he let them go towards their positions.

Gao Xiang

Name: Gao Xiang
Age: 25
Gender: Male

Physical Description: A skinny young man though physically fit Gao has lightly tanned white skin, and dark brown eyes. He has dark brown hair that's been clean cut. He refuses to shave all the way through opting to remove as much hair as possible while keeping enough on his head to appear distinct. He has no facial hair, and no noticeable scars on his body though his calloused hands, and bruises on his arms, and legs tell that he is experienced enough upon close inspection. Gao typically is not considered a handsome man, but he isn't ugly either he is extremely plain and tends to blend in with a crowd of average people. He typically wears a simple loose brown shirt, and sometimes a black jacket. His pants are likewise unremarkable simply being a pair of worn white pants.

Backstory: Born in the Earth Sphere in a small village young Gao was nothing worth noting initially his parents were farmers, and his fellow villagers generally unimportant. His life in his young years was rather uneventful as the Earth Sphere's issues were rarely brought into the village due to their remote location in the northern earth sphere. He spent most of his life learning farming, and hunting as he viewed cities grow in size from afar and from an outsider's prospective he fought it fascinating. These massive cities were large, and prosperous. So many things he'd never seen before were housed there, and it led his imagination wild. However his grand father warned him that nothing good came from the cities that bad men ruled them, and that they would continue to do so into the near future. His grand father had gone to these cities, and had seen many things in his youth from air benders to, metal benders in Republic City the patriarch of the Xiang family knew many things.

But after some consideration Gao, and his friend Yu decided to travel to one of the cities in the earth kingdom to understand just what exactly they were. After some time travelling, and experiencing the sights all seemed to go the opposite of what his grand father had warned him about. The city, and the machines in it were all amazing and being very self sufficient the duo managed to live a rather poor but ok life in the city for a few months before a gang attacked, and scarred Yu for life burning his hand. An Earth Bender tried to force money out of Gao by force, whom had none at the time, and decided to fight back. During the fight he learned that he was an air bender after knocking the earth bender on his rear end through a window, and managing to blow out the fire bender with sheer force. He was a strong bender in terms of power but it tired him greatly to use his power. Bringing Yu to a doctor they had met he had his friend treated, and then returned home shortly after. His grand father was not surprised to learn of his gift, but his parents were. It had been known that air benders on occasion popped up out of nowhere.

After discussing it with his village elders young Gao left his village with his grand father, though old he was he insisted to come with Gao, and learn more about himself after he refused to join the air nomads because he knew nothing about them just yet. He didn't want to become a part of something he knew so very little about. Living day to day Gao, and his grand father traveled from place to place as he saw more of the world he saw more cruelty, and less kindness. People who had power refused to act, or sometimes chose to help those who hurt the innocent. Though there were good people often their acts of kindness left voids where evil simply reappeared once the heroes left, or died. He learned air bending through his grand father's example, though his grand father was not an air bender he knew one as a child, and through scrolls purchased from people in the markets. Though most of the air temples were taken back by the new air nation at this point he chose to visit some of the ruins that were deemed unable to be repopulated minor settlements in the former air nomad nation. He didn't get a bison while there but he did pick up an old air nomad flier built from a man whose family sold them to the modern air nomads.

By the time the air nation noticed him, and found him he had grown despondent to the world disliking morality seeing too much black, and white that it blended into grey. He would do as he wanted to, and live life as he would. Refusing to join the kind air nation he left on his own journey. He would go through the Earth Sphere learning, training, and fighting through the wilderness, and thugs that tried to stop him learning combat techniques as he learned much about avatar korra's journey, and some of the villains such as Zaheer who he summed up as a zealot though with his own merits from what he had been told. As he is now he is a simple traveler, and occasional vigilante. He doesn't want for glory, or to move up the food chain. He simply travels to better himself, and become stronger as an individual. Though the grey world he walks in sometimes disgusts him he chooses not to use his power for his own gain, and or to force his opinions onto others. A wandering 'nomad' in a sense he has a home though he doesn't return to it. When the world has finally given him a purpose he hopes its for the best.

Bender/Non-bender: Air Bender - A blunt, and straight forward bender he has more in common with some earth benders than the air nation. However he is still light on his feet, and capable of dodging with ease simply willing to dodge when needed but engage directly with heavy blasts of wind, and subversive uses of wind to knock people off balance before delivering a brutal gust of wind.
