Though Calbian's expression didn't change, his tone of voice certainly did, sounding somewhat disappointed "Shame, I was hoping that I could avoid you all until I has a large enough excuse to avoid it. Fate, it seems, is not on my side." he then let out a large sigh "Alas it seems we should be going as fast as possible, but please get that ridiculous look of your face, this will hardly be a race and you should also know this is purely business for me I have no desire to make friends with any of you, I only wish to rid the world of corruption. Now, lead the way."

@dragon4111

Calbian raised a finger in objection to Ghalan "Technically I was walking and as such not obstructing any entrances or exits." Glancing at Ghalan as he spoke to what Calbian could only assume to be his friend Calbian waited until any conversation seemed to be done "It would seem they are safe, though I find it best to trust your gut. As for you question about my team... I have no one, team mates provide nothing but a distraction is a fight, as when you fight you then have to take into account not only your enemy but the health of your team, as well as that getting to know people just throws unnecessary feelings into the mix which cloud my judgement." 

@dragon4111

Calbian lifted himself from the floor dusting himself off and giving Ghalan a polite bow "No I should be apologising, if I had been paying attention this wouldn't have happened." Calbian then reached out and took the book, slotting it under his jacket and then taking his sword, swirling it in his hand before slotting it back into it's sheath. The late teen then took a second to see where Ghalan was standing, and in a slightly rude fashion remarked "While it's not my place to say so, standing infront of doors is rather annoying and inefficient if anyone wishes to use said door, i'd advise you move." 

@dragon4111

Calbian had been walking down the hall reading a book on military tactics paying no attention to anyone around him, as he usually would, this time however was slightly different as this time there was someone in his way. In the ensuing seconds Calbian went right into the side of Ghalan sending himself onto the floor, his book landing next to him and his rapier sliding a few feet away as it unsheathed from it's scabbard.

@Lektra Bolt

I've been chilling, mainly thinking on how I should try to kill you all next XD

@Drago Ryder

Well here's my character, though if you see no way for him to fit into the RP then that's fine I understand

Name: Calbian Haverdus

Species: Human 

Home Kingdom: Atlas

Age: 18

Weapon: An ornate Pistol capable of holding 4 bullets, the bullets themselves contain small amounts of Dust giving the shots elemental effects (generally fire and lightning), he also has a rapier which he keeps for close combat situations when he believes his pistol will not be appropriate, this blade can also used small capsules of dust to enhance the blade. The bullets and capsules for his weapons are however custom made by him so he can sometimes find himself in situations where he has nothing to power up his weapons with.

Semblance: Spectre shift - This allows Calbian's form to become ethereal for a short time, while in this state his speed is increased and he cannot be harmed by any form of attack, however at the same time he cannot effect anything. He basically turns into a ghost that can't go through walls.

Extra Abilities: Calbian is deathly smart and as such a great tactician, allowing him to come up with tactics for any situation as it arises.

Appearance: Calbian is 6"1' and has messy white hair which covers on of his eyes, he has brown eyes and generally a never emotionless expression on his face.

Personality: Calbian is very blank when it comes to emotions, normally seeing then as needless things that cloud his judgement, he is however not without them and will (on the rarest of occasions even crack a smile). He respects people who are honourable and selfless, and detests people who are rude, loud or idiotic.

Backstory: Calbian grew up in a reasonably rich family and for the start of his life was quite happy, that was until the death of his mother. Whilst the effect on Calbian was surprisingly unaffected by the death of his mother, it was the effect that it had on his father that changed him, the man had become more ruthless in every aspect of his life, going as far as to play Calbian and his brother Xavius against each other in order to decide who best deserved to inherit everything when he died. As time went by Xavius became more roped into their father's ploy and of multiple occasions attempted to straight up murder Calbian. After a few years of attending Atlas Academy Calbian's home burned down, leaving his father dead and brother missing. Taking the rapier and pistol once belonging to his Grandfather, Calbian left to remove what he felt was corruption from the world, whether it was Grimm or people.

Actually interested in you specifically, since his suit would probably also render him immune, at least until the filtering couldn't keep up

Good point, though I imaging, given the type of world he comes from it's more like please pay every minute for filtration.

Well there should defiantly be enough to post about this time XD

As Kos-Mos pressed the button, a beam of red light shot up from it as the raised platform and button sank into the floor, leaving the beam of light shooting upwards. The room then became dark as the image of the Overseer appeared, now highlighted an ominous shade of red created from the button, the giant holographic head gazed down on all of them like ants and began talking in his unemotional voice "Congratulations on passing the final test. I am also informed to congratulate you on your 'unorthodox' way of completing the two tests and I would like to thank you for the useful data you have provided, however survivors or these experiments are not required, please feel free to die at your earliest convenience." at that the overseer disappeared, the only light in the room not coming from the beam of red. After a moment four large tubes would extend into the room and begin to fill the room with a dark green gas, this gas quickly filled the entirety of the room like water would a cup. This would quickly become evident to be neurotoxin, that upon inhalation swiftly killed all living things in the room.

@Lektra Bolt @Denim&Venom @Buck Testa @Arid_Blitz @Gabriel

So this is the test of my little privacy system, cause what's more fun then setting you against eachother?

For you Denim since I don't think you were in when I suggested this, basically in order to create a sense of genuine surprise and to create a sense of trust in everyone I will sometimes PM people secret RP bits that is meant only for their character, that way if they wanted to they could turn on everyone else and kill them all!... or not, it's then that persons decision whether they share that information with everyone else or not.

@Lektra Bolt @Denim&Venom @Arid_Blitz @Gabriel @Buck Testa

As Star creature-fied the turrets the ever so faint sound of two people shouting in unison could be heard, both going "Dear God!". A few seconds later an archway melted out of the wall, showing the way into another room. The room it's self was circular with a raised platform in the middle, a single, large button on top of it from it.

At the point when everyone entered the room, the image of the Overseer would once again appear, this time however not leaving the room in darkness "It has been decided that due to the show of ability from the one of you, the next forty-eight tests would be too easy and would not yield any useful data, due to this I have been instructed to move you onto the final test. In this test your trust in one another will be tested as it involved all of you. As you can see, in this room there is a button. In order to complete the test track you must hit the button, however a number of you cannot hit the button, if any of these individuals, or "kills" touch the button you will all die, except for the "kills" who pressed the button. As you can therefore surmise, you need someone who is not one of these individuals, if these "safes" press the button you all live. The only other way you can all live is if the number of "safes" pressing the button outnumbers the number of "kills" pressing the button. Now the "kills" know who they are and have been offered items of interest to them if they kill the rest of you so they may not be inclined to say whether or not they are a "kill". You have no time limit for this exercise, you may begin." With that the image faded away, and the arch everyone entered through would seal, leaving them along with the button. 

everything is going to get moved along to different settings, and I know that the current area is rather bland, I tried to create I kind of tutorial area in a way, so that all the characters have to get to know each other. Also this bit won't be particularly long anyway, there's going to be one more "test" then stuff's gonna become a lot more open.

@Lektra Bolt @Denim&Venom @Gabriel @Buck Testa @Arid_Blitz

Unless anyone else wants to post, i'll put out the next bit tomorrow. Also sorry I haven't really given you guys much to focus on post wise, i'm gonna try and change that.

@Lektra Bolt @Arid_Blitz @Gabriel @Buck Testa @Denim&Venom

The Overseer just stared at Star and the portal she opened, not seeming to care, though to be fair he didn't really seem like the most expressive guy when it came to emotions, nor did it seem to care when Star sassed it, seemingly ignoring her or at least not retorting to her. The great metal face did however change focus to Starfire as she questioned him " As I have stated previously, I am the Overseer. My primary directive is to test and record the results of beings who have been bought to this place and to transfer the data to my storage system at which point it is removed. You are currently in the Elysium scientific research facility level two-hundred and forty-five, are current location is Dimension 213453-098473 Alpha, approximately five-thousand sectors from imperial jurisdiction." The face then finally turned to the girl wo was throwing references "Please do note that I did not once describe myself as an almighty scientist, or supreme AI. Although I am reminded to tell you all that to any participants who survive: There will be cake, tasty cake."

The Overseer then went back to looking at no one in particular "I shall now assume that all relevant questions have been asked, due to this fact the test shall now begin, the first test shall be a 'warm-up' to increase adrenalin levels and to gage your combat prowess. Please save anymore questions for the break in-between this test and the last, assuming any of you survive." The hologram then dispersed, once again allowing the room to give off it's seemingly natural glow. This peace however would be short lived as nine turrets came out of the walls, three on the north face which aimed at Star, Starfire, and Kos-Mos, three on the west wall which aimed at Rouen, Shion and Steven, and three on the east wall which aimed at Sabir, Crona, and Akane. These turrets all began firing purple lasers at that their respective targets at a rate of about one every second.

I'd prefer to get my say in and comment on what's transpired before we get the ball rolling. 

Coolio, just wanted to check

@Gabriel @Denim&Venom

Just to check so we don't wait around for ages, do either of you two have anything you want to post, or would you prefer I moved on. 

@Arid_Blitz @Lektra Bolt @Buck Testa @Gabriel @Denim&Venom

It would be at this point when everyone in the room would notice something very strange, firstly a claw would extend out of no where and grab the grenades that Sabir had, as if hearing his fought before retracting back into the wall as if it had never been there, secondly a smaller arm with a syringe lowered down from the celling and injected Rouen with the presumable effect to wake him up, and lastly that the ambient light that seemed to just exist in the room began to change, first the light would change to a vibrant green colour and would envelope the room in it's sickly light for but I second before swirling into a swarm and forming into a face at the front of the room, leaving an eerie darkness in the rest. This face six parts and was obviously robotic because I mean lets be honest, if someone organic had a face what was in six it would be very worrying, but anyway, four of the parts seemed to make up make up the centre or it's face, creating gaps that seemed akin to facial features, a single large piece made up the chin and sides of it's head and finally an egg shaped piece of metal which seemed to glow with energy floated above all else.

"Anyway, I would like to thank you for the useful data you have provided, however survivors or these experiments are not required, please feel free to die at your earliest convenience..." The image then went blank, leaving the room in pitch black for but a minute before the image came back up. "I apologies for the perhaps  unnerving display just there, it would seem I had neglected to rearrange my flash cards since the last time I have carried out these experiments. This fact however is besides the point and it is advised that you not focus on the information you have had revealed to you as it may have both a mental and physical effect on your performance." The mechanical face then took a few minutes to survey the room seeming to focus on certain individuals such as Sabir, Kos-Mos ,and Ragnarok before continuing "You may address me as you see fit, though Overseer is preferred, you have been brought here from your respective dimensions in order to preform some experiments, it is advised that if any of you do have the ability to switch dimensions that you do not as you will be bought back and a price will be payed. I will now take any questions you may have before the tests begin." The overseer then hovered there, it's emotionless face staring at those beneath it.

We have a hodge podge of main characters getting unceremoniously dumped into a metal room with no rhyme or reason. The entire premise is disjointed lol. 

yeah it's all fine just wanted to check

@Gabriel @Arid_Blitz @Lektra Bolt @Buck Testa @Denim&Venom

anyone want to do more friendly getting to know each other time? or is everyone good to get this story moving.

@Arid_Blitz @Buck Testa @Lektra Bolt @Gabriel @Denim&Venom

Firstly I would like to say that techno is officially out of the RP which I have privately discussed with him. Secondly I believe I owe you all an apology for dragging you all into this entire situation which should have been handled in private, this was all unprofessional of he and I will endeavour to handle this kind of situation better in the future. If there is anything else on this subject any of you would like to discuss I would appreciate it if you could PM me about it. 

@Techno Universal @Arid_Blitz @Gabriel @Lektra Bolt @Buck Testa @Denim&Venom

Techno while I kind of see your points it is also the other people who take part in this who need to have a say in this. As such i'm proposing a vote to decide whether techno stays or leaves. Vote ends when we have majority either way.

Personally (and i'm sorry) I want you out, because I know how you can be and I don't want to risk my RP

@Techno Universal

I see the point with quoting, though I personally felt it would be obvious, but more than half you post consisted of basically saying you have armour now. Secondly you should be putting time into reading every post entirely because it's all important, the only difference it would make, would be that you post later.

@Techno Universal

I have had several complaints about you techno, where in the RP you have in a way cheated the character minimum by quoting someone else and also ignoring everything that's happening in the room. Now I do plan to be this strict with ANYONE in this RP, so unless you can justify this then I'm gong to have to ask you to leave.
