    Even though Lucius had expected Xarus to be a strong opponent, he hadn't expected it quite so literally as he felt the vampire's hand clamp onto his neck, which made his words barley audible and they escaped his lips "Asphyxiation, I was honestly hoping for something a little bet-" Lucius' words trailed off however as he smashed through the window.

    In the moment they reached the centre and Lucius could feel them beginning to rise, he only had the time to utter "Oh bugger." before being propelled through the floors of the building, letting out loud noises such as "Ouch"" and Ahh!" he was also pretty sure that about nine floors in, his arm had dislocated. Though he was acutely aware of the fact that he was less hurt than he should have been, leading his to begin to formulate a plan, all he needed was the answer to his question and all the parts would fall into place.

    Lucius chuckled a bit, and actually regained some of his more mocking personality, despite his precarious situation "I will admit they are a rather nice set of powers, though if I've learn one thing over the years, it's that power comes with a price, one which I don't want to pay... not again."

    Lucius then let out a sharp exhale of breath and grinded his teeth together and his forced his arm back into place. This movement did however cause the glass to begin to crack and give way "Though I must thank you for answering my question, what I'm about to do would have made me look like an idiot if it didn't work. And for the record, i'm not against teamwork if it's for a decent reason, I'm just a sociopath. A millionaire high-functioning sociopath."

    A wicked smirk then found it's way onto Lucius' face as he lifted hi left elbow up, and swiftly bought it down onto the glass, causing the window to shatter, and Lucius to plummet downwards. Lucius then began drawing in electrical energy from the city, after all, if this world was an exact mirror then so were the electrical lines, a fact Lucius would have been unsure of if it hadn't been for Xarus so politely answering his question. Purple energy then began amass in Lucius' hands "By the way, you owe me a new suit." Lucius then began to release this energy as a large, purple electrical beam, the size of the window, aimed directly at Xarus, a beam which Lucius was fully able to control the direction off if the vampire moved.

    Xarus would notice though, that it seemed Lucius would need to continue drawing power from the city to keep this attack up. Another important point of note was that some of the energy seemed to occasionally arc back, hurting Lucius in the process.

    Did we all just fall out of this vortex? Were we all unconscious when we came through? What's going on with that? Also why would one vortex bring in people from multiple different realities seemingly at random?

    To your first, third and last question, who knows? maybe? that's up for your characters to theories/find out about.

    To your second question: No, what I was getting at was that you guys were going about your daily business when a tear in reality sucked you up, as soon as you were sucked in your characters will have blacked out.

    And yea I also wonder how the characters landed. If we're landing at random I'll do the same lewd but totally harmless landing as before so my characters end up together by 'cosmic luck'

    Yeah it would have been random, so go for it!

    KOS-MOS has a similar sense too, though not planet wide. Maybe half a planet. You should probably provide us some more information by PM in the conversations we have running?

  3. The multiverse. Realm upon realm of endless possibili- Wait, this is how I started it last time, lets go for something a little different.

    What is life, but a series of choices. Every choice leading to a new eventuality, and every new eventuality, leading to a new choice, and no matter what these choices happen to be, they effect not only one person, but everyone around us. It only takes one man to create a great empire, only one man to sow the seeds of rebellion, and only one man to wipe it all out, set it all back to zero. Some would say such things would be destiny, unchangeable, and set on course to happen since the start of time. Others would say that nothing is set in stone, and a persons course can always be changed, but is that in itself, destiny. But then surely in the multiverse, in that endless scape or science and sorcery, where anything is possibly, surely there is a way to change destiny, surely then, there is a way to prevent that tide of endless destruction, all it takes is the right people to find it.

    But let us put that unimportant, useless information behind us, and focus on the story at hand, as the adventure begins.

    Our band of intrepid... people would find that selves waking up in a room to the smell of smoke and the sound of sparking electricity, the last thing they remembered would have been some kind of crack opening up and sucking them through, in spite of their best efforts to escape it's pull. The room itself was circular with a diameter of around 50 feet, a seemingly domed roof, obscured by a large, swirling, ominous, vortex, though it seemed to have no pull, in fact the exact opposite seemed to be the case, as it exerted a small pressure on the rooms occupants. The room seemed to be heavily damaged, with panels blown off, exposing electronics which occasionally let of spark or even the odd arc of electricity, as well as that, piles of metal debris scattered across the room, some of which were ablaze, this was especially apparent in the eastern side of the room, where a large part of the ceiling had collapsed, exposing raw, sparking circuitry, effectively boxing off a section of the room. The cause of this damage was however obvious, from the large scorch mark in the centre of the room, where something had very obviously exploded. In short, it wasn't a vey nice place, infact the only place worse than this to be, would probably be some kind of empty metal room... or Detroit one of the two.

    There would be a few details immediately obvious to the group. First, there did seem to be some kind of doorway to the south-east of the room, though it seemed the explosion had caused it to somewhat break down, where it would attempt to open and would, for a second, reveal a silver hallway, with red lights constantly flashing, then however sparks would fly from the door and it would close with an audible 'clunk'. Second, there was possibly some form of terminal at the northern most wall, though there was no apparent screen or symbols on any of the hexagonal keys, though the purple light coursing around the outlines of the keys seemed to signify that it was still, somewhat active. Lastly, poking out from one of the debris piles close to the centre of the room, seemed to be some kind of metallic hand and arm, though mangled the scorch marks on it, would seem to indicate that whoever, or whatever the metal appendage belonged to, was very close to the source of the explosion.

    Lucius began sweating bullets as Xarus used his own powers to deflect his attack. Lucius had never really been in a fight, he would always observe from the shadows, or possibly be the orchestrator of the fight from behind the scenes, and even if I had to get himself personally involved he always had the upper hand as he was dealing with normal people, but Xarus was nothing like them. 

    Although able to keep his composure to some extent, there would defiantly be a visible change to Lucius behaviour and in his voice, a more serious undertone replacing the pervious, mocking one "So my suspicions were correct then, your either a vampire or a goth, not that I'm sure which is worse."

    Lucius chuckled a bit at the vampires comment about his power "True, true. I don't really ever use my powers, I don't really enjoy squandering them on menial tasks. Though I must admit, yours are quite interesting, some ability to manipulate, or possibly shift reality to your whim perhaps? And if so, is this world the same as our own? and if it is, to what extent?"

    As the shard his the lamp post, Lucius fell with it for a moment before jumping off and landing on , what for him, was ground, ensuring he was landing on one of the more solid parts of the building underneath him. Strangely though, he didn't attack and just stood there "Well? I do hope you don't keep me waiting, after all, I want some entertainment to."

  5. @Buck Testa

    Lucius found himself becoming slightly nauseous as the city around him began to shift and change "Well know, I did not expect that. Rather nice trick, though if you wanted to get me on my own you should have bought me out for dinner first."

    Lucius then chuckled at Xarus' refusal of payment and smirked "To be honest, I would almost be disappointed if you were." Though as the gravity shifted around him, Lucius stayed remarkable calm, his eyes focused on observing his environment before making his move, and though on the outside looked cool and calm, it was needless to say that on the inside, Lucius was going crazy with a mix of fear of the unknown, and confusion, beads of cold sweat starting to form on his forehead. The man's body surged with purple electricity, as he began to run quite fast, and whilst not at a super-human speed, it was enough to give Lucius enough motion to leap towards a lamp post, using it to propel himself into the sky by a few metres.

    Whilst in the air, Lucius seemed to just radiate cockiness and his continued to smirk "Those fangs of yours look rather dangerous, I know a dentist you could sort them out. Though if you want something a little cheaper, I'd be more than happy to knock them out of you skull right now. Here, just let be give you a little anesthetic!" Lucius then shot a bolt of purple electricity from his hand, swiftly followed by two balls of similar energy. The aim of these attacks seemed to be to force the vampire off of the ground, for whatever reason.

     After his attack, Lucius landed onto the lamppost he had previously swung from, allowing his to stand normally, and with the same level of refinedness he usually had, with both  arms held behind his back. "Well if you wanted to know about me, you should have just asked. Well to start off, I'm not the most morally sound person in the world, so if your looking for a 'good' person then I'm hardly the man your looking for. Oh, but I've spoken so much about me, how about a little about you? Who knows, if I like that kind of person you are then I may want to make use of YOU in the future."

  6. Calbian had never entirely left the room, and instead just leaded in the doorway reading his book, though he would occasionally look at Ghalan and his work with a critical eye, though never saying anything. Though what he did do was walk into the room, reach down and grabbed up one of the mithril bar and began inspecting it "Hmm, process: efficient, quality: acceptable, weight: average." The teen then put the bar of metal down and sighed heavily, as if it hadn't been the result he'd wanted.

  7. @Lektra Bolt

    If I may give a suggestion for your character. The main problem there seems to be hear is that your characters too techy right? So what if you changed slightly to where she's purely magical, so she can still be smart, but magic smart (and even hilariously inept with tech if you want) because then she can still enchant stuff and use magic, but is then pretty different from everyone else.

    Ok so the OOC for the reboot is up:

     

    So if you want to still take part, put your character applications into there, nothings really changed about the application, except a specified spot for a backstory so your current ones should be good to just paste in. Obviously if you want to switch characters then that's fine as well. But all in all I feel quite confident for the future of the RP.

  9. Firstly note: Name is W.I.P if you don't want to join and just have a better idea for a name please do... seriously I suck at names XD.

    So basically this is a wild wacky multiverse adventure with magic, star trek style pseudo science and star wars style battles, where the mood can swiftly change and allies can become enemies. With references around every corner, a wide variety of fun characters and vital lore ripped straight from over games/movies because: "Hey originalities dead". This will have lots of action and comedy with the characters being thrust from there respective universes and thrown into a world where they are completely out numbered and lots of people will likely want them dead. I may also put in some 'puzzles' and I use the term lightly, more like scenarios which may have a slightly better/easier solution if you can work it out, as well as that the choices you make will very much have an effect on the state of the multiverse around you. This is also a reboot, because I wasn't happy with how I started things off and it made things hard for the players (such as finding it hard to post).

    My aim for this RP is to create a role play in which the characters (that's you!) have as much free rain as possible, where you aren't stuck to a linear story and can only really make certain choices, so while there is an over arching story the RP, the effect the characters have on it, as well as what actually happens will depend on the choices you make. One way I'm going to try to do this is by letting you guys decide what kind of place you want to go to, and making a story around that. For example, your friends are in a battle, you could help out in some way, or you could not take part and instead go on a separate adventure which might cause your friends to lose. 

    Onto the next topic, characters. Firstly I would like to (some what ironically ask) for no ponies, just for the fact that due to the kind of setting the RP will be based in it wouldn't be very nice for the pony, a lot of making fun of and such, apart from that anything generally humanoid is fine. Also your character can be from any universe, whether from something like an anime, or even one you've made up yourself this can go onto explain what powers/abilities (if any) your character has. Also you can have as many characters as you like, I would say around 3 would be the ideal max, but if you think you can play more, then be my guest. If you would now direct yourself slightly lower down the page and I shall show you good people how to sign up, if you would like to.

    Application:

    Name:

    Age:

    Appearance:

    Personality:

    Alignment: This is like Chaotic good, Lawful evil that kind of thing.

    Class: This can be anything it's just something which easily sums up your characters skills.

    Primal attunement: This is basically what element your character is most in-sync with and this can be anything e.g: Light, Dark, nature, metal, logic(technology). Also note this is optional and your character doesn't even need to have any skill with it/even know they have it. If you like it can lead up to powers they may get later on.

    Universe: I quick little summery of the kind of universe your character comes from.

    Backstory: What heart retching tragedy confines your character in their own personal darkness, alternatively, if you want to do for something a little less DC, what's up with your character, who are they? What do they do?

    Other: Basically anything else you feel like adding.

     

    Side note with characters: No over powered god characters, so a character can be powerful, but leave some space for progression so your not going to be ripping apart planets or devouring universes. Another note is that not characters which can hop dimensions or bend space-time at will or anything like that, because if a character is pulled away from their home dimension but can go back at a click of their fingers, it makes everything a little pointless.

    Anyway, I believe that is everything. Please feel free to ask any questions. :3

    Well, it sucks to see the work I put in be for naught, but if it means havign an RP to post in at all, then yes, I'll be alright with a reboot. 

    I think everyone was at a loss on what to do next, hence why the infrequent postings. What was there for me to do? Get dragged to the next room for another villainous monologue? 

    Sorry dude, I don't take any pleasure from wasting your time and effort, but I think it is for the best for the RP as a hole. And hopefully with this reboot people should have a lot more freedom in what their characters do, which should hopefully stop the "at a loss on what to post" issue.

    Ok, so after a lot of thinking things over, I've decided I'm going to reboot the RP. This decision comes from not only the lack of posting, which is nothing against you guys, I think it's mostly down to me, the other reason though is because I haven't been happy with how I started the RP and the subsequent direction it's gone in as a result. I find this comes from the start ending up being the exact opposite of what I wanted this RP to be, I wanted an RP where the players could have a lot of freedom, not have limited choices, and not being forced down a linear story line. Unfortunately, that is not what I created, instead I put all your characters into a bland environment and forced you to do a linear path in which you had very little choice in what happened. This is why I want to re-boot this RP, in order to get it started off the right way, with the right feel of what you can all expect fo the duration of the RP.

    If you have any problems, suggestions, or questions, feel free to ask either here, or in PM's if you prefer.

  12. @Buck Testa

    Lucius smirked a little, looking at Xarus "Oh, I can tell you a thing or two about cooperation friend. Cooperation is just a word for a group of selfish people waiting to stab each other in the back when it fits them, a team is one of the most fickle things in the world. A team relies on everyone trusting one another and working together in order to achieve something, but you can never really trust anyone, everyone has a price after all, whether it's material or emotional, all it takes is one member of that team to accept the price and the rest is over. You can't ever trust the people you love, the people who are supposed to be with you no matter what, all it takes is one small mistake and then... they abandon you." Lucius then motioned to a man and a women, seemingly a couple, arguing outside of earshot in order to prove his point.

    Lucius then leaned back against a tree, chuckling in a slightly dark fashion "I mean, I don't think you're any different really, no offence. But if you were indeed following me for that long, then you no doubt heard some rather... 'sensitive' information, which ,I imagine, is why you followed me. So I'll cut you a deal, give me a brief summary of the information you heard so I can verify it's authenticity, and I'll pay your price, though judging by the look of you I very much doubt that it will be material."

    Xarus would likely be surprised, and maybe a little disappointed, at how composed Lucius was in this situation. It would seem to him as if Lucius had gone from depressing pessimist mode to business mode, like some kind of mental switch had been flicked inside the mans head.

  13. @Buck Testa

    The sudden appearance of the man made Lucius jump back, a hand holding his chest "Bloody hell! You don't do that to someone!"

    Lucius then turned to look at the man properly, and was slightly taken aback by the sight of him which only made him wonder how he could have snuck up on him, he stuck out just as much as... well he did "Firstly it's rude to sneak up on people, second nice suit, thirdly don't pretend to know anything about me."

    Lucius then gave a heavy sign and turned back to look at the people "But hey, it's been a while since I've had a good debate about human nature so I'll play along. You have just pointed out what I consider to be humanities greatest weakness, people only care when it effects them. Even I'm guilty of it, I won't try to hide that fact, but the fact as a whole still remains. These people couldn't care less about who gets hurt or killed, as long as it's not them. When something bad does happen they all always act sympathetic but never really do anything to help, just sit and watch, some will even lie and say they do just to make themselves look better."

    Lucius then looked down at the extended hand "My name's Lucius. You'll have to forgive me if a don't shake you're hand, but when a stranger in a suit comes up to me being nice, I generally think it suspicion, after all, it's the exact kind of thing I do."

  14. @Buck Testa

    Lucius gave the receptionist another fake smile "Well, from what we've seen, our company thinks that a suit like this, be it anon-weapon orientated redesign, could be very useful for humanitarian work, someone in a suit like that could do the work of entire teams! But of course I'm getting ahead of myself, all of this is only possible with the aid of Mr Stark. But thank you for your help ma'am. Good day to you."

    Lucius then walked out of the imposing building, Alexander in tow "I think that went rather well all things considered, don't you Lucius?"

    Lucius let out a vary frustrated sigh at his butler's comment "Yes, if you count being talked down to by a bloody receptionist who doesn't know her place in the well part... Though yes, it could of been worse, though even IF we get to Stark we still need to convince him to give us something, which will be hard. Ok, I need you to call in some favours for me and make Acmes look as good as possible, help more of though insufferable destroyed villages filled with poor people if you have to Alexander, if Stark comes looking, we need to be prepared."

    Lucius then began to walk off "Wait! Lucius! Where are you going?" Lucius glanced back to Alexander "I need to clear my head after that, I'll call you when I'm done."

    Before Alexander could say anything else Lucius had already blended into the crowds of New York. Eventually he found himself in Central park, finding a secluded area, he pulled out his phone, typing in a number and looked as the number was rung. Lucius watched, and watched, until it hung up from not being answered "Big surprise there, won't even listen to my voice... how can he hate me that much?"

    Lucius then found himself looking round at all  the happy, joyful people around him, muttering to himself "It really is pathetic. All these people going around, like everything's good in the world, ignoring the true reality of things. Shady dealings, secret weapons, gangs, drugs, corruption, all happening on a daily basis, and all these people, to ignorant or scared to notice it. True pathetic."

  15. @Buck Testa @Lektra Bolt @Denim&Venom @Gabriel

    A very devious and cocky smirk crept onto Lucius' face as that young girl in front of him started threatening him, he then started to laugh "You know, I like you! You've got heart and your brave to boot. Given, maybe slightly stupid, but all the best people are... mostly... kind of... ok not really but that's beside the point" All the while he was pacing, and hopping around the room like a toddler hyped up on way to much sugar.

    Lucius then went back to looking at Star, getting closer and closer to her face as he spoke "Though I would say you're mistaken in your thinking that you would be in control. Now if you will, go along with my thinking for a moment; as you said, the only reason I'm alive is because you don't know where these over people come from yes? Therefore I hold all the cards because as far as you know, I'm the only person who has the answers you seek, meaning you can't kill me, which then ,in theory, would leave you at my mercy if I was a nasty person... Fortunately I'm not though." By this point, Lucius was 'all up in Star's grill' as the kids would say, at which point he booped her nose, aptly going "Boop!" Before backing off, paying no mid to the giant cake monster behind the girl.. 

    Though the whole time, Lucius did seem to be avoiding looking at the upset child next to Star, a slight look of guilt in his eyes. "Anyway, I know I have a council meeting in..." Alexander quickly responded "5 minutes Sir." To which Lucius clapped his hands together "Ah, excellent, so we have about 15 then. You can all feel free to ask anything what so ever."

     

    (And with this I breath new life into this RP! Hurray!)

  16. @Buck Testa

    Lucius was, for a second, taken aback before regaining his composure. Currently the only thought going through Lucius' mind was that If this had been anyone else they may have failed at this point, but there was one thing other people didn't have, and that's that they weren't him.

    "Well, if you need to know my organization, here you go."

    The man then stuck a hand into the inside pocked of his suit, quickly going through a number of business cards until pulling a certain one out. It was a rather simple card, mainly with a name:

    "Acmes: Associated Companies for Middle East Safety"

    As well as a business email, handing it to the women. If she was infact to search up the company, she would find everything in order; though this company was ,in fact, one of a few large fronts used to handle some of his larger dealings, as well as to make his accumulation of wealth seem slight less suspicious.

    "Acmes is an association of companies from around the globe, given we're a non-profit organization and focus on small, weaker villages and such, so it's no wonder you may not have heard of us. We are mainly based in the middle east and focus of humanitarian efforts throughout. We specialize in helping war torn and terrorist attack areas, we do things such as help the sick and people who have been displaced by the destructive force of weapons, previously produced by Stark Industries."

    Lucius then loomed over the desk slightly, an equally fake smile on his face, though inside boiling with rage.

    "Though I do indeed understand that Mister Stark is a busy... and erratic man, so if you can at least leave him a summary of this along with the card and-" Lucius then pulled out a pen and scribbled down a string of numbers. "My superior's business phone number, I would be most grateful. Of course if you need more proof, I can contact him now for you."

    Could I get more of a description of what he looks like. I see that he's pale and 6'2, he's got combed back black hair, and he usually wears suits. What does his face look like? How built or lack there of is he? 

    I did say he was slightly toned. As for face, it's kinda hard i'm not good at describing faces either. Well he has brown eyes, no facial hair, average nose, average lips, he's quite handsome I guys. That work I bit better?
