[OOC] Justice League: Rising from the Ashes

[Bluetommy]

@Master Crim Mentioned the wrong person in my last post.

[Almosegosum]

@bluetommy2 - Oh wow... what a prima donna. I really hope he is sure he wants to try M...

[Bluetommy]

@Almosegosum Khnemu has had to deal with seeing a new world that is so different from the one he arrived from, beasts that poison the air but are nonetheless said to be necessary, utter disregard of his standing as a scribe and avatar of the gods, and what he views as a false friendship. It may seem mild, but a simple warning was the straw that broke the camel's back.

So yeah, prima donna.

[Almosegosum]

@bluetommy2 - Perhaps, Malacoda should just be a bit more considerate. He does like the other as something interesting, but he is not supportive of people insisting on authority when they have not done or shown to have done anything of value. Also the situation is a bit frantic... and Malacoda would really not be doing this. Maybe they can fight it out and make up afterwards.

[Bluetommy]

@Almosegosum Yeah, that's what I was hoping for, but right now, Khnemu's in full desert beast mode, so there's not much convincing to be done.

[Almosegosum]

@bluetommy2 - Little busy, back in 20 ish mins

[Bluetommy]

@Almosegosum kk.

[Almosegosum]

@bluetommy2 - I feel like we are again running ahead, wind in our locks - leaving the narrative behind. Also, I need to think on what I wish to do with your character. So can we take a moment and wait for the others?

[Bluetommy]

@Almosegosum Sounds good.

[Weird Tales]

how should I get Michael to where the others are?

[Master Crim]

I have tomorrow off, I will be reading up to date and making a post. Sorry for my absence.

[Almosegosum]

@bluetommy2 - Oh my gods... really. We almost redeem him for a moment before he fucking disintegrate the bloody cop who shot him because he was actively killing people in the first place DURING a bloody terrorist situation! HOW THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO MAKE HIM LOOK GOOD NOW!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

[Burning Kitty]

@Almosegosum It is not your job to make a character that is not yours look good.

[Almosegosum]

@Burning Kitty - But Malacoda wants to be friends. He is interested in him. He wanted to study him and his mind... but now he will have to first convince the other to go to prison, so that he can repent for his unreasonable crimes, and it is hard to become friends and rehabilitate someone through prison. And he can not allow him to get off scott free because that would be against his moral system... which, while malleable - has some concrete aspects that can not be fuddled with, even at the prospect of intercultural exchange

[Master Crim]

I have caught up with reading, and what a ride it was. I have some posts to make for some civilians/police officers, as well as an encounter to continue moving with one of the locations.

@Burning Kitty I would encourage you, and everyone else, to look up the GPS coordinates on the googles before trying to say you are approaching the base. Getting there is more of an encounter as a team as well, but can be done alone if you choose. Also I would much appreciate that you stop portraying the police and people as trigger happy Luddites, this is the DCU after all... it wont be their first rodeo with weird shit.

[SilverFallen]

@Master Crim How's my character look? Her sheet is back on page 8. If it's too difficult to find a way to throw a new person in, I totally understand.

@Master Crim

So I Googled Hall of Justice the JLA Base in Metropolis.

google.com/search?q=%22hall+of+justice..

I am not seeing where it would take a team to get there. Any one can walk up to it. Looks like a walk in the park, literally.

As for GPS all search results come up with real world locations.

[Master Crim]

@Burning Kitty sorry, I worded that wrong. That's what I get for writing a post at 2:40AM. I meant that may want to look up the coordinates mentioned in the post about Cassidy. Those coordinates are the general location of the base where Cassidy is located.

[Master Crim]

Name: Major Ashton Beaufort

Title/Alias: Gotham's Soldier (she will never refer to herself as this, but it's what the news has started calling her.)

Picture/Description: Ashton stands at 5'10" (and that's not even with her combat boots on) and is muscular from her years in the service. Her skin is tanned and she does have sunglasses tan lines but chances are nobody will ever know since she very rarely takes them off. Her eyes are light brown - but again, sunglasses so it's not a well known fact. Her dirty blond hair lives in a permanent stage of Military Donut Bun.

Powers/Abilities: Military training as well as basic martial arts training. Best with a gun or knife but has taught herself how to fight hand to hand.

Gear(optional): Almost all her gear is standard military type. For weapons she has, an M11 handgun, a Ka-Bar combat knife, a M4 carbine, and various grenades (including frag, smoke, and stun). She wears modified combat gear; it's been dyed black to blend in better and she has added more bullet-proof ceramic plating into it. She also wears sunglasses and a helmet - also painted black like her uniform. She also has binoculars, night-vision goggles, a mag light, flares, and a basic first-aid kit.

Personality: The typical soldier; she is stoic and strong, obedient when she has respect for her leaders, but doesn't take shit. She is fiercely protective of the innocent people of Gotham and will put her life on the line for them. While she may come off as cold, when she does relax and let the soldier-mode slip, she is kind albeit a tad snarky.

Bio: Ashton grew up in Gotham with a single mother. She never knew her father, but honestly, it was never really a big deal for her. It was pretty ordinary. Growing up in Gotham made her tough, but it never made her mean. She was the kid that would beat a bully black and blue then walk the bullied kid home to make sure they were safe. It was no surprise that she ended up idolizing Batman - and later Batwoman as well. It was even less of a surprise that she signed up for the Marines when she was old enough.

After ten years in the Marines, Ashton became a Major and was working on becoming a Lieutenant Colonel when the Justice League went missing. Ashton retired from the Marines and made her way home to Gotham, only to find it much worse than it ever had been. Crime was even more rampant than it had ever been now that Batman was gone.

It started out as just helping here and there; disarming a robber who happened to be in the same convenience store as her, stopping assaults on civilians, etc. But as crime got worse, Ashton started dedicating herself more and more to stopping it. While she doesn't really consider herself a superhero by any means - after all, she's just a retired soldier - fighting crime has become her day job and she has started to become a known figure in Gotham.

@SilverFallen

Another soldier type, this will be fun!

@Master Crim

So some jungle in Brazil. Why on Earth would they go to shitty jungle when the Hall of Justice is in Metropolis? If the message was so urgent then flying for hours is a waste of time. Apparently Cassidy wasn't programmed very well.
