[OOC] Teen Titans: Reborn [REBOOT]

[Lucius Cypher]

I guess the perceived condescending attitude drove him off.

[a00000000000]

Agreed

[MonsieurShade]

Well that aside, i'm none too keen on letting this role play drop off. So for the sake of continuing the plot would anyone object to Titan stepping in to assist? Make no mistake, he's still a villain, however seeing as he hasn't gained too much notoriety in the community yet, and with many roads likely blocked off due to the rampaging machine, I figure he might step in to help in order to more quickly clear up the roads, and by extension, aid in his escape.

[Lucius Cypher]

I was just hoping the titan's wreck it and leave so Dark Matter can come by and absorb the machine for himself. If you'd like, he and Titan can go spelunking in the newly found ruins for loot and stuff.

[MonsieurShade]

Quite tempting indeed, I just want to wait until about two or three people OK this considering just doing something relatively big in an RP without a heads up and confirmation to others can sometimes lead to tension OOC which can sometimes spill into the IC. In the end it just turns into one big crap-fest filled with petty name calling and spiteful meta-gaming galore which is something I wish to avoid. Though given the fact that I intend to play Titan as a "lawful evil" sort of guy, he likely wont move on the loot unless he's told to by Bane, so Dark matter will likely have all the spoils to himself.

[Lucius Cypher]

I think of Dark Matter as more Neutral Evil; he does whatever he wants but has a standard, not that it's one that he tries to match with anyone else. As far as he cares, this ancient ruin is free game, first come first serve. But he's not so stupid to think that just because the giant robot is dead, that there aren't any more traps and protective measures down there. A partner would be nice, and Dark Matter isn't the type of person who'd betray you just for greed. Not so much because of honor (Though that's what he'll call it) because it's not professional. It's like a bounty hunter betraying a contract he took just because the bounty would pay more; those types of people are dishonorable and unethical businessmen.

[BKburke]

I will get an introduction post up in a bit.

[MonsieurShade]

Well, theres a good chance that they could have a team up of sorts in the near future provided that Titan gets something out of it that would benefit Bane. He's fairly open minded about working with someone else if their goals are similar, however his loyalty towards the man that took him in will mean that whatever Bane tells him to do will always be his first priority, even if it means abandoning something that could benefit him personally. By the way, I was reading through some of the previous OOC posts, and I have to ask, what'll happen with Dom's siblings? They seem to be interesting characters, and could definitely be useful later down the road with their abilities and cash.

[Lucius Cypher]

For now they just play as background characters who gives Dominick day jobs and a source of not-illegal income. They actually won't come into play until Dark Matter messes up, however that happens. Either he gets defeated and thrown into prison or get his secret identity figure out, whatever happens first. Additionally they were made for people like Titan, who are made to be villains but needs a source to gain their powers or at least someone to give them something to do aside from aimless robberies and attacks. But you took care of that yourself using Bane.

[MisuChan]

hey Lucius, it's not a good time to swoop in since the robot might die soon.

When is the next/first time you plan to make an antagonist attack? i could appear there, join titans, yaddyadda

[Lucius Cypher]

Ah, well right now Dominick knows better than to swoop in as Dark Matter, so he's waiting until the Titan's finish off the robot since it's player isn't here anymore. After that he'll consume the bot, maybe look around the ruins, but lay low and let the Titan's rest up. If you want I could have him head topside to do some "Business Deals", where he tries to sell some of his weapons to the local gangs to make a quick buck. You character could have been monitoring the gang activity, wondering where they're all getting their equipment from, and try to bust one of his deals. I'm hoping that Dark Matter escapes, but if you cause a big enough mess it might alert the Titans where he'd have to cut his loses or get's cornered.

They can still try to approach him with jobs if you desire. Given the fact that Bane doesn't really have a schedule for Titan to work by, he'll still be willing to make a quick buck every now and then for the odd luxuries, he might even work for free if it coincides with something he's already doing for Bane if they provide him with the right tools for the job, however Bane's orders will still come first.

[Lucius Cypher]

Perhaps, perhaps. They likely know that Titan works for Bane, and while I can't say they know how loyal Titan is, they know better than to mess with other Super Villains and their people. The only way Titan would get to see them is if you approach them, do something that involves them, or if Titan makes a bigger name for himself than simply Bane's Lackey. Their secrecy is why they don't have an active role right now.

[MisuChan]

That could work, I planned on having her a solo hero at first, until she meets the titans and stuff.

Michaels admin and I already talked out a plot for our characters too.

[MonsieurShade]

Alright cool, given Bane's usual orders for Titan are going to be along the lines of 'steal this', 'smash that', or 'deliver these', it shouldn't be unlikely that Titan will run into them at some point in the future. All it would take is for him to break/steal the right (or wrong?) thing, or for Bane to have business with the Yangs at some point in time. It'd give Titan access to even more resources, and given the fact that he's bound to class with the TTs at some point, he'll need all the advantages he can get.

EDIT: So should I have Jacque come in and help punch the machine into submission then split, or just hang back for now?

[Lucius Cypher]

I don't want to spoil too much of the Pav Zoov Yaj are doing, but here's some things Titan could try to hit that would get the attention of Wild Flower: Attacking Asian Town, Attacking the Garden of Eden (Look up Dominick's brother CS Jay Yang "Mr. Clean"), intercepting a medical convoy that's coming in sometime this week, doing anything in the same the neighborhood where Yang's mother lives, doing anything near the school where Yang's youngest sister goes to, or the mental hospital where the Yang's Father is at. Granted, doing anything with the last three would likely make Titan their enemy.

I think someone needs to end the fight soon. At this point I don't really care how it happens.

[MonsieurShade]

Well the medical convoy and the Garden of Eden would likely be the most promising options seeing as rampaging through a section of a city would have the TT's called pretty quickly. A medical convoy or landfill being hit is more likely to be a problem that the police are called in for. Also, i'll post Titan drawing nearer to the fight and deciding to go and step in. I'll avoid actually getting him involved for now to give the others a chance to finish the fight, however if no one does then it's go time.

[a00000000000]

I'll just have Sam cut him in half and make a bull stomp his remains

[MonsieurShade]

I guess that could work. Any word from Tobias?

[a00000000000]

No, I checked his profile, and he hasn't replied to anything for two days :/
