Alma Terra Heroes

"The captain of my guards is a resourceful young man." The King said cryptically. You will meet him soon enough, but that is a conversation for later. While you have a mountain of questions for us we are armed with questions for you. May you parry them with expert tongue. The Kings tone was friendly and almost joking as he listened to people ask questions of this and that. "What is your world like?" "Are you married?" "Is it true you bested four bandits in one strike?" The questions came at all the heroes surrounding the King who was now having his wine glass filled. Once he took a gulp he thought about asking a question of his own; however, decided against it. The question wasn't for current company. Instead he began to study the heroes. He saw some mingle among themselves while some with himself and the noble lords.

Has my post timing been holding the group back? I can put an extra step towards posting faster, but it will result in less length in my work. I tend to prefer to post longer more involved then shorter ones. Still anything for this role play as I just wrote.

Alma Terra Heroes

After the Heroes made their entrance several were immediately trapped by eager ladies in waiting and barons hoping a friend of the Hero might earn them a place higher up in the food chain of politics. The food and drink were distributed liberally with plenty of both for the crowd. One hero made his way to the king and gave a formal voice of thanks. This seemed to please the king who smiled. "It is I who should thank you young Hero. Please a savior need not kneel. It is us who are in your debt." The voice betrayed the Kings appearance which was one of an older man. Instead his voice, like the hero object he possessed, rang out loud and powerful even echoing some as those around him drew quiet. The reason for silence seemed to multiply after a group of guards pulled a young man forward. The face now recognized by many as the one on the wanted posters. The mans name was unknown and he was simply known as a bandit. Since his attacks on caravans both traders and the kings own he had been getting more and more recognition. When the man is thrown in front of the King he turned to the bandit and frowned. "It would seem we have lost our manners when hosting this hero..." His voice was low and threatening to the guards. They quickly started to defend their actions pulling out a poster, but were quickly silenced by a wave of the Kings hands. "I pardon all acts against my seal this man has committed." There was no murmur from the guards. Instead silent nodding. The King then walked over and pulled the young man up onto his feet. "It would be wise to learn you are not back home playing a protagonists journey. Learn to adapt instead of create more chaos. Not knowing the larger picture can make you the bringer of disaster." This was said in a high whisper. The mood was now dapper and the King quickly signaled for the band to play bringing life back to the party. "My captain has informed me that you all come from the same home. It is understandable that you all have much to catch up on. I too would like to hear of how you came to be chosen as a hero." The King was again standing with his strong voice and aged body. Still his eyes seemed to twinkle like that of a boy in a candy store.

Sure thing! :D Happy to role play the King character.

Alma Terra Heroes

posts so far are looking great. My character will be arriving at a different point. For now the party is meant to allow your characters to enteract. Feel free to post some conversations. If possible do them as a colab so you don't spam post. I always say do two or three PM posts back and forth and then post the resulting writings as one post. That way we can get full conversations out of the way. Yes there are healers in the capital. It is extremely expensive to use them, but as the kings guests they would be available at a slight discount. Yes I said slight. The healers are not human, but mostly fairy's and sprits. They do not give their magic as charity. Also from this point on you will need to keep track of what you discuss and share with the rest of the group. You will now be adding to your character sheets that you have posted in the Character Sheet section. This includes the following information Post Transfer- As you share stories of what you have done during your year in Alma Terra add them to your character sheet in a section called Post Transfer. Your Hero Object. All hero objects can recognize each other. As soon as you see a hero your own object will share with you the object that hero possesses. Safe to say that if you are at the party your Hero Object is now known. If you share with one in the IC you have shared with all! This is important if you want to share something private do it through PM. We are all high schoolers so suffice it to say I am calling us all gabby. Your post might read something like this. I went over to the fire and talked to character A about (Private) and when he said he accepted me I felt safe and relief for finally sharing. This way you don't have to add it to the character sheet and you have the secret still unknown to the rest of the group. You DO NOT have to share a secret with me.

Alma Terra Heroes

Time: Early Evening Reports had started to be received regarding the Heroes being found and brought to the castle. They were instructed to prepare for an audience with the king over a formal banquet. At such times they would be invited to join in the first Meeting of Heroes. At the castle each Hero was well received with a giant bedroom and the offering of a massive bath in the company of assistants and entertainment. Those that were found or arrived later in the day were brought straight to the banquet which was already starting. The banquet hall housed nearly one hundred. Mostly land owners in the surrounding areas but every corner of the Kingdom of Man was represented. With extravagant jewel and clothes each seemed to be trying to put their best image forward for the arrival of the heroes. Finally a loud trumpet marked the arrival of the King. Who after entering took advantage of the bows and silence. "Welcome lords and ladies to a most auspicious occasion. We have waited and our resolve has been answered. I give you...." With a sweeping motion every door at the north end of the hall opened and from each door a hero emerged. "Mans strength. Our Heroes!" The whole hall erupted in applause and cheers as the music started to play and the heroes entered the party.

Tim remained a member of the team as they dealt with the issues at hand. While he didn't directly engage in combat with the assassins he focused on getting everyone evacuated. When the situation started to calm down he joined the rest in the cave as they were finishing suiting up. He hid his own uncomfortable shift as everyone already seemed eager to lock and load. When Jason moved out he gave a hard thought to activating the lock down on the bike so it wouldn't run. He stopped himself when he saw Bruce. If he wanted Jason moving then Tim wasn't one to question it. Apparently they were letting the pit bull of the leash. Tim found his backup suit still resting in its case. It was one of the older models that held plenty of Dr. Midnight jokes on its sleeves. Still he wasn't going to complain. This one had a few downgrades he actually liked including an older model cowl computer. As he changed he set his own super computer to work pulling up all known situations involving the tragic Doctors recent actives. It also drew up the last known location of the doctors wifes cryo tube. Already moved by now Tim figured that might be a place to look if the trail runs cold. He grinned at the level of puns that worked with most villains. It was like the entire world was just one big joke... Not that any of this was a joke. "Don't go jumping into hell Luke. You don't even have your suit with you at the moment." Tim then turned to Batman. "Capture or follow?" Tim asked Bruce. The question now was what sort of move was this by Freeze. Was this a single act take out the CEO sort of deal or was this step one in something bigger. Tim knew it was something bigger. Fox was a big target for a lot of things, but a simple assassination wasn't fitting the pieces. Especially one so public. What Freeze didn't know was his step one happened right in front of the worst possible family you could pick...unless that was the step one. "We need to recognize how unlikely this was a coincidence." Time said slowly. "The fact that every involved member of the Bat sign was at this event can't be ruled out of the plans this attack had." Time looked over at Bruce. "This could be the man's way of fishing. Seeing how this death affects us. We go all out it could be us playing our hands and showing Fox was close. Closer than anyone to this organization. High name assassinations get our attention, but not the entire family..." Tim realized he should cut the motorcycle Jason was currently flapping about in. Instead he saw another move. He switched his microphone to the motorcycles frequency and started to talk. "Jason lose the bat symbol. No immediate connection to the bat family can be pulled into this manhunt. Go dark side. Pretend you are pissed because someone brought heat down on your empire with the Fox killing. Pretend the cops think it was your smuggling route by the north docks is how these things got snuck into the country." Tim then let go of the radio in his right ear and looked back at the group. "Someone crashed the wedding. Let's not lose ourselves...Game plan should be to follow Freeze. Find out what this was a part of and get him a new pair of shiny cuffs for his wrist." Since founding the Teen Titans and acting as their leader Tim had grown more and more comfortable with stepping into the leadership roles when cases arise even in Gotham. He looked over at Damion and already started to wish Dick could take him when they went out on patrol. He didn't know who he would swing with, but he wasn't looking forward to babysitting. He also caught Damion frowning several times as he talked about the situation they were in. Wearing a 'Why not just kill him.' sort of face. Cass was already in uniform looking ready for the team to move out. Batman wasn't suited but made a heck of an entrance with the batrang as a gavel.

I am really sorry for my no showing these past few days. Work has been a real ring ding of a time taker and another project that was somewhat time sensitive is finally underway so I have a little more time. I read through the posts, but honestly got a little lost. Might be due to lack of sleep, but any chance someone could draw up a short summery of what has happened? I think Tim is with the group in the batcave, but I can't really pin it down. Really Sorry!

Alma Terra Heroes

If you have been given permission to post your character you also have permission to post in the IC which is up. Hope the image and tone set in my first post is acceptable.

Alma Terra Heroes

Long before mortals, the lands of Alma Terra was home to immortal beasts and demons. It was in a constant state of flux that would strike fear into any who witnessed it. From this chaos the planet began to fight back. It threw fire and sut and from this fierce attack brought an age of calm to its war torn skin. It was from these ashes that the modern world was built on. From within the energy of these immortal creatures was the building blocks of men, elves, dwarves, orcs, and every other creature that calls Alma Terra home. And while they do not shake the ground as their larger predecessors. Still these smaller beasts do the immortals work. They war, scar, and rape the land under their feet with brutal acts. They build machines who can only kill maim, and torture. Perhaps it is not these mortals faults, perhaps it is because they are the spawn of that which committed the same act.

The King of Men looked over his capital city with the look of someone aged by worry. This worry came from the knowledge that had just been delivered to him. Another Hero Object had been found. Normally this was good news; however, this time the object was found with its owner dead. At the hands of an unknown enemy. Someone had begun to hunt down Hero Objects and they had finally claimed another victim. It has been four months since he first learned of the Hero Hunter. Since then he activated his own Hero Object. The Horn of Man it was called. It had the power to be heard by all Hero Objects and call them to the Horns location. Every guard in the city knew to keep a look out for any possessor of a Hero Object. Each was to be treated as a returning General and escorted to the castle that makes the heart of the city. Since he used the horn only one Hero has made it. He called himself Devin. The King had been told to expect several others to arrive today, but it was nearly midday and not a single Hero had arrived. He gave a silent prayer for the Heros swift arrival and safty.
