[Letter Bee]

No, Joshua says that's a private collab; not to be posted.

[Amaya Tamashii]

kk just checking then the other wont be posted since it goes along side that one

[Letter Bee]

This means that should someone make a prose version of AWoPM, they'll have to fill in the facts left covered by the secret collabs.

[Amaya Tamashii]

yeah

[Letter Bee]

So, how are you and the baby?

[Amaya Tamashii]

[Letter Bee]

Cool.

Anyway, I seem to have pissed Joshua off in an RP.

[Amaya Tamashii]

[Letter Bee]

Let's just say I did badly.

[Letter Bee]

Here are my GM notes:

Mafia Arc

Two weeks after the E3 Arc, Heinz Harper summons the PCs again, to tell them some news: (Note: This might be optional, Thanks to the increased cooperation between the NYPD and the Agency, it is now possible to mount a search for 'Babylon', a secret brothel run by the Mafia).

Babylon is a brothel that, thanks to Timespace, is made larger on the inside than on the outside, allowing it to fit 500 Sex Slaves, 250 of them children. This is horrible, and so Heinz wants it destroyed, the children rescued, and the villains behind this killed 'resisting arrest'. But, before it can be destroyed, it has to be found, first.

So, investigations begin. The Agency members are split into two teams; Omega and Joshua (Balthazar is forgotten) are sent to track down the Scandalmonger; a Magical Paparazzi who knows a lot about the rich and influential people, and their kinks. The Scandalmonger has a weakness for money and luxury, and can be found in the Bahamas. Since her estate is warded against Teleportation, Joshua and Omega will have to parachute there.

ajm8888/Mass City controls The Scandalmonger.

The second team, composed of Conor and Silas, are sent to destroy a Mafia Warehouse containing cocaine to distract the Mafiosos from the investigations. However, they get a surprise; Krodin's new PC is there.

In the meantime, Ascot, Amelia, Amaya, and Rose go shopping, in order to distract Ascot from the investigations (Heinz, meanwhile, doesn't go, because he has to monitor the situation). However...this doesn't go according to plan, as Ascot is separated from the team by Jack, who then fights, defeats, and psychologically torments him; this is to show that Ascot isn't invincible.

---

Basically, Jack succeeds in psychologically tormenting Ascot, but is driven off by a new NPC, Lucus, a Wind Mage, who is an old flame of Rose's. However, Ascot now remembers being raped a month ago, and is now traumatized by that. However, said trauma has given him Life Magic.

@MasterJay! Wanna talk at the usual page?

[Joshua Tamashii]

Remind me, when did I say Lucus was an NPC? Consider him a late introduction.

Lucus Griffonbane

Name: Lucus Griffonbane
Age: 34
Appearance:


Personality: Lucus is honest, care-free, and generally relaxed man who is usually smiling and trying to make light of any situation. Despite this he is a very observant man, he often picks up on things other can sometimes miss. He usually keeps such things to himself though, sometimes to test others, sometimes because they are secrets that other might be better off not knowing.

When in battle he kept up his care-free personality right up until things get serious. At that point all cheerfulness vanishes and he becomes very, very serious and ruthless. Capable of great destruction, he does not hesitate to do what he must to eliminate an enemy, especially if someone he cares for is involved. The one thing Lucus will not do is involve innocent bystanders.

Lucus values freedom highly and hates being bound to some place by any means. Despite this, he is very loyal to his friends and co-workers and will always answer Heinz' call when the man contacts him for a job. Lucus is most loyal to Roseletta van Isis, who was his lover until certain circumstances forced him to vanish for a year.

Magical powers/ Physical Abilities: Lucus is trained in the magics of Energy, Matter, Mentalism, and Otherness. He uses these to work as an informant and infiltrator, sometimes gathering hard to get information for Heinz or to find places sometimes hidden from plain sight. In combat he uses Wind magic both offensively and defensively. When serious his winds can cut off limbs and shatter solid rock.

Physically he's skilled in knife-fighting and hand to hand combat, possessing great speed and stamina, using his magic to put some power behind his blows.

Flaws: Lucus has a tendency to embody the wind he controls, meaning he can't stay in one place very long. He has a tends to vanish from time to time without warning but he always ends up returning to the agency, saying that a bird always remembers the tree they were born in.

Side: Agency, about 80% of the time. The other 20% is himself.

Bio: Lucus was born into a wealthy family who owned a series of banks stretching world-wide. Due to this he was able to have almost everything he wanted. Everything except the freedom to do what he wanted. He had money, every toy he ever wanted, the finest food, the biggest house. He had a dream life. Yet he was displeased with it all because almost every detail of his day was planned out for him, leaving him with very little free time to do whatever he wanted.

He got fed up and fled his house at the age of 15, taking only a few things with him and a decent stash of cash. Life on the road was rough for him. He usually starved, was hunted by people hired by his parents to bring him back, and had to adjust to lower society then he was used to. A few months after he fled, he was mugged on the road and left for dead, all his money taken from him. Luckily, a someone happened to be traveling through the area and nursed the boy back to life. The man turned out to be a traveling sage and was willing to teach Lucus magic and the ways of the world if the boy was willing to travel with him. Lucus readily agreed.

The sage trained Lucus in Wind magic, which required him to practice Matter and Energy. Lucus was a good student and the sage noted that Lucus had a strong connection to wind, an element that knew no chains and went where ever it pleased. Lucus found this idea appealing and doubled his efforts to master the element. He made great progress quickly and was soon able to command the winds as he pleased.

Sadly, some of the hunters showed up just after Lucus finished his finally lesson and assassinated the sage while his guard was down. Angered, Lucus slew the men with devastating effectiveness, give them little to no chance to fight back. After the finally one dropped dead, Lucus buried his teacher before vanishing from the grid. Rumor has it that he journeyed through the desert for several years, something that he seemed to encourage.

Lucus appeared at the Agency seemingly randomly at the age of 25. He was just strolled in and made his presence known before making his way p to Heinz' office, blowing away anyone who tried to get in his way. He calmly walked up to Heinz' before introducing himself to the man and offering his services as an informant for the Agency, going out to find information the Agency needed when the time came.

During his on and off stays at the Agency, Lucus formed a romantic interest in the Agency's Chief Nurse, Rose van Isis, giving her the nickname 'Rosey'. However, his inability to stay in one place too long put a strain on their relationship, making it a bit fragile. When Heinz asked him to find out any information on the person who broke into the Agency without being detected until after they had succeeded in breaking out as well, Lucus dutifully set out on the task and has been away for the past year, shattering his relationship with the one person he cares about above all others.

Sorry; I just thought that since you didn't post a CS, that he was an NPC.

[Joshua Tamashii]

I didn't think of him at the time

[Letter Bee]

Ah.

[Amaya Tamashii]

Nice bio and look for him

[Joshua Tamashii]

Thank you Amaya
