The Marauders (2018)

Hehe, I'll have that under control. I'll have that post up after dinner.

Sky Warriors: Birth Of An Army

Jimmy and the Roger Dodger

The Roger Dodger screamed through the sky towards the makeshift airstrip, the loud roar of the twin-engines only gracing the ears of any below the craft as it was flying by. Jimmy yanked on the controls, the Roger Dodger rolling 180 degrees as Jimmy scanned the area, noticing the old pilot as he zoomed past the airfield on this first run. "Yeah, that sure looks like the son of a bitch. Time to rest up baby." He gave a quick pat on the side of the cockpit for good luck as he swung around for another run to land. He turned off the makeshift speakers, pausing his music from the "old days" as he prepared to land.

The Roger Dodger made a rather graceful landing, Jimmy turning off the engines as the F/A-18 glided up towards Roland. Jimmy was a sort of daredevil and knew his plane and what it could do better than any other pilot in the damn world. He removed his restraints and took off his helmet and respirator while the craft was still gliding in from the momentum. Jimmy made one final motion with the stick, moving the aircraft just off a collision course with Roland and his craft. With a simple motion, the pilot pressed a button and the cockpit opened up, with Jimmy walking out onto the wing just as the craft pulled to a stop.

The young pilot had a wicked smile on his face as he set the helmet on the wing and hopped down, arm outstretched towards the legend that was Roland Shaw. "Jimmy Web, The Jonestown Runner at your service."

The gunshots were more than enough to force Jax's actions to suddenly become mechanical. He quickly looked up to the mirror behind the bottles of alcohol, a common staple at bars for this very reason. A small smile creeped onto the face of the vigilante. "This is why no one touches my guns." Jax responded almost instinctively as he grabbed his gun case with his left hand, lifting it up to shield himself from gunfire. The distinctive clanging of bullets against the case reminded Jax why he invested in such expensive equipment. The vigilante made sure to take a peek from around his case as he unholstered the SIG from his belt, firing one quick and well-aimed shot to put down one of the gunmen before rolling over the bar's countertop and behind the bar.

Jax quickly opened up his case, revealing his precious SCAR. It took him only seconds to prepare the rifle for action, extending the stock of the rifle and loading it up with a 60-round drum magazine of armor piercing rounds. Sure, these bullets were a little over-kill... but hey, Jax never comes unprepared. He quickly powered up the scope on the rifle as he kneeled down behind the bar, the glass digging into his jeans but not quite able to penetrate the body armor he had on underneath. A quick check behind the scope showed the body-heat signatures of the assailants... a nice little upgrade courtesy of SHIELD.

Ba ba, ba...ba ba. Jax hummed a melodic beat as he fired his rifle towards the assailant's legs, doing his best to incapacitate the hostiles. He wasn't going to let the bastards get off too easy. He provided support for the others in the bar, doing his best to help them in taking down the gun-toting bastards who decided to shoot up the place. The bullets penetrated the thick oak and metal cabinets of the bar, emphasizing the true power of his weapons. It was strange... but for the first time in months, Jax felt alive. He was finally beginning to understand his path in life from this moment forward...

And just like that, the last bullet was fired and groaning could be heard from the few hostiles that were still alive, but far too wounded to cause any more problems. The fight couldn't have lasted long... perhaps a minute at best. Jax's mind started to probe for police-response times and the best route to escape... until he stood up and looked around at the others in the bar. He was surrounded by other "heroes" trying to do the right thing. He figured he could relish in the mischief they just caused. He rested his SCAR on the bar counter as he looked at the alcohol behind him, pulling out a surprisingly intact bottle of Tito's as he poured himself a glass while the others recuperated after the combat. He sipped his drink, looking out at the others. "What's the plan now, compadres?"

If you're still accepting applicants, I may like to throw my hat into the ring. I'll want to wait until the others post their operators to make sure I don't step on any toes first.

@webboysurf Midwestern Rabbit Class Pilot? I like it, has he been involved in any major conflicts or is he a 'drifter' of the sky?

@Dynamo Frokane

I like the idea of Jimmy being a drifter who hasn't really been involved in any major conflicts. He has helped out small communities here and there, but his craft is more suited for distractions than fighting one on one.

James Web

Name: James (Jimmy) Garfield Web
Nickname: The Runner
Age: 23
Height: 5' 10"
Weight: 160 lbs
Pilot Class: Rabbit
Nationality: American (MidWestern U.S., under occupation of Warlord)
Appearance:

JGW

Bio:

Jimmy was the son of Carlton Tobias Web, a mechanic and former pilot. Carl was a local legend in the small area of "Jonesberg," a smaller region in what was once North-Eastern Ohio. Carlton himself was a Fixer when he used to fly the skies for Thomas Jones, the local warlord. There was peace and prosperity in Jonesberg due to the work of Carl and a few other local pilots. Carl's most prized possession, and one he kept a secret, a 1970s style F/A-18 Hornet he named the Roger Dodger. Jimmy was raised to be a pilot, learning how to fly in some of the older models his father had restored and inherited since the passing of his comrades. Jimmy also learned the basics of aircraft maintenance and repair, helping to modify some of the aircraft in his father's possession.

Jimmy was 17 when Thomas Jones, now in his 50s, came demanding to Carl demanding all of the planes at Carl's hangar be handed over to Jonesberg so that they could go use the planes to spread terror across the American Midwest. Carl's refusal led to Jones to shoot the mechanic in the head on the spot as Jimmy watched from a distance. Jones' men began to scour the hangar for other workers. Jimmy, out of shear desperation, fired up the Roger Dodger hidden behind the hangar under a tarp and took off. Jimmy wasn't used to the speed and agility this aircraft had shown.

For the next five years, Jimmy never stuck in one place long. He came to be known as "The Runner" due to his craft's exceptional speed and Jimmy's emphasis on running over gunning, often aiming to catch his opponents off-guard to take them out. Jimmy has kept in contact with a girlfriend from back home, Jessica, whenever he can. There is a printed picture of her taped inside of the cockpit, along with a picture of Jimmy's father, Carl.

Titans: West Coast. (Teen Titans Roleplay)

Name: Roy Harper
Alias: Arsenal

Age: 17
Powers: None

Weaknesses:

-Lacks Super Abilities: Arsenal is not a meta-human and lacks the abilities many of his companions (and enemies) possess. This also makes Roy somewhat easy to kill by conventional means.

-Highly Addictive to alcohol/drugs: Roy has an addictive personality. He is currently recovering from the consequences of his addictions to fetanyl and alcohol.

Skills:

-Agile: Roy has years of self-training in acrobatics, as well as a few years of training under the watch of the Green Arrow.

-Expert Marksman (Archery): A natural talent of his. Roy has expert proficiency with a bow and arrow.

-Proficiency in wide array of weaponry: Roy has trained with a variety of weaponry over the years, especially as Oliver's sidekick. This makes Roy dangerous in nearly any situation with nearly any weapon.

-Martial Arts Proficiency: Training under the Green Arrow, Roy's regimine was strict and included proficiency in martial arts to keep the sidekick safe in case CQC was necessary.

-Proficiency in Gadgeteering: Roy's unique skill and expertise in crafting gadgets is one of the primary abilities that sets Roy apart from his former mentor. Roy helped to craft Oliver's trick arrows, and uses his skills to develop his own gadgets and trick arrows to help him fight on the same level as meta-humans.

Bio

Roy Harper was 4 when his father died. His father was a forest ranger who worked near the Navajo Reservation. A raging fire had broken out in the region, and Roy’s father was one to always put other’s lives first. He rushed into a burning building to save a child, and later that evening died from his injuries. Roy was taken in by the tribe, given he had nowhere left to go.

Roy gained an informal training in archery after the child picked up a proper bow and arrow at the age of six and proved to have innate talent. Roy continued developing this skill, primarily on his own, whilst also partaking in bouldering and displays of agility. By the age of 14, Roy had clearly demonstrated a defined vigilante skill set that would lead to his adoption as Oliver Queen’s sidekick.

Roy developed another impressive skillset at the age of 11, namely his skill in working with electronics. Roy’s adoptive father worked at a small electronics shop, and the man taught the child the inner-workings of computers and phones. At age 12, Roy managed to build himself a computer from spare parts and his access to the internet intensified his love for electronics. Roy taught himself how to design various gadgets, managing to build himself his own cell phone and begin designing trick arrows on his own.

At the age of 13, Roy began to steal from local liquor stores. Roy blacked out on one of these nights, and awoke next to his dead adoptive father with a bow and arrow in his hands. Roy left the reservation and never looked back, making his way to Star City. It was there that Roy was living on the streets and using his skills to not only make money for himself (helping build burner phones, minor hacking, etc.), but also to try and do the right thing. Roy stepped up during a bank robbery nearby by using his own bow and arrow for the first time in months to help the Green Arrow.

Oliver Queen adopted Roy, and the two began their partnership for about 2 years. Early on as Oliver's apprentice, Roy took on the title of Speedy (a nickname given by Oliver) and joined the Teen Titans as an early member of the original team. During the two years working with Oliver and the Titans, Roy became increasingly compromised from his addictions, until Oliver found out and renounced him. The Teen Titans similarly revoked Speedy's membership until he sought proper treatment. At the age of 16, Roy was all on his own with no home and no friends. He did, however, choose to clean himself up to prove that Oliver Queen was wrong.

Roy went to rehab for five months, and immediately joined an AA support group once he completed the regimen. He sought to prove he could turn his life around and be a hero to those in need. Recently, Roy adopted the persona of Arsenal and began working as a vigilante once again, using the resources he had left when working with the Green Arrow as Speedy. It was only a matter of time before the Titans would find the young vigilante and bring him into the fold once again.

Every muscle in his body tensed up. Jackson locked eyes with the woman, before turning his gaze towards the others he somewhat recognized from his files. Several high-tier mercenaries, someone with mutant abilities... Jackson was probably the least impressive individual in this place. And then that's when his eyes glossed over the woman who joined the bar... her description matched the eye-witness reports... but she couldn't...

Jackson snapped out of his paranoia, the corners of his lips turning into a wry, knowing smile. He had to take back control in this situation. "This little piece I've got is the only thing protecting me from you and all the other dangerous folks in here. Besides..." Jackson reached his gloved hand to unzip part of his jacket so he could reach in and pull out a badge. This process also revealed what the biker was wearing under his jack: a form-fitting body armor, nothing fancy, just something to help stop bullets and knives from penetrating so easily.

The gloved man flashed the identification he had, careful to only show the badge portion. It was from SHIELD. The other part of the little badge he stole would reveal the identification card of an Agent Myers, so he made sure to keep that covered up on the back. Bastard was never observant, but I'm pretty sure Myers would figure out what happened by the next morning. "I'm on assignment, sort of." The armed man then put the badge away once again, resting his forearms on the counter. "And if you want my advice, you should probably be honest about your age to the guy making googly eyes at you. Trust is a cornerstone of any relationship."

This sounds fascinating. Consider me interested.
