Hey potato, when should I have Light learn Portable Hole?

@Archmage MC

Is this her space where she can seemingly store anything? I thought she already knew that. Also, I wouldn't advise trying to do anything on Ruby considering she has incredibly high reaction speeds! Well, you can try if you want to!

No, thats pocket space. Portable Hole is Light takes a black hole looking object out of her pocket space (She has an infinite amount of these btw, but she can only have 1 active at a time), and until she tosses it on the ground, it has the properties of a piece of cloth and does nothing. When she does place it on the ground, she can jump into it and pop up out of another hole at any point in her sightline or pop back out of the hole she jumped in, causing an item in her pocket space to come out of a second hole somewhere in her sightlines. Only Light or objects inside her pocket space can come out of these holes or go into them. Entrance holes don't have to be on a surface to work, just have to not be in Light's hand. Exit holes do need to be on a surface though. Basically a portable wormhole. Its a rarer tex avery thing, and I think Disney used this more often than tex.

@Archmage MC

Sounds alright to me! As long as she only has one active at a time and must be in a decent range then I'm fine with it! She may learn it!

Okay, @NP, @Patriarch, I don't want to complain, but, the tone of the RP has just shifted to 'Darkness Induced Audience Apathy'. The Government is evil, so is Aperture, factions of them are working together, and the only semi-unambiguously 'Good Guys', the Reform Movement, are swept by the tide of events, and are furthermore betting every chip they have on a raid on the Enemy's main installation. Even then, the Reform Movement only has a chance of crippling Aperture and its Government backers, not take out the Anti-Metahuman factions of the Government, and especially not reconcile Humanity and Metahumanity, where a rift has grown thanks to successive massacres and bombings, a rift that won't fade just because the Big Bads are defeated. Point is, nothing is being done to address the larger questions of prejudice, to bind Humanity and Metahumanity once more, except for a vague hope of catching the culprits aggravating the divide, which isn't enough.

@Letter Bee

how did the government go evil? that doesn't seem realistic at this point and time in the rp since this is trying to like the real world, also it sounded like the government was still neutral

@Letter Bee

Well Light has some pre-establoshed fans of hers, so that could potentially help the relations problem. Either that or super big global bad that changes the minds of peoples like Galactus or something.

@Letter Bee

The government isn't backing Aperture... it doesn't know much about what the corporation is doing in the background but it has its suspicions. Look, point is that Aperture are very bad. The government aren't the prettiest but they're tolerable and the reform motion are the good guys. I don't particularly like the idea of raiding Avalon at the minute because in my opinion, what you were talking about with the prejudice is a better storyline!

@The Patriarch

Wasn't the Government behind Project Genesis, which is evil? Edit: On second thought, I was jumping into conclusions when I said that the Government as a whole has gone evil, it's just that it's, as NP says, been indulging in projects like Project Genesis that are both immoral and potentially self-destructive. @NP, @Archmage, thanks! I actually have an idea now, thanks to Archmage. Edit: Augh, I keep forgetting about Cypress!

[Archmage MC]

lol letter bee. :P

[The Patriarch]

How about we make it like hydra in captain America 2 where the government isn't bad but an evil organization has compromised it and is responsible for the bad things that have happened involving the government.

@The Patriarch

Patriarch, you seem very hesitant to accept corruption in the government when it's already rife in real life. Now, this doesn't mean that your average senator has all these secret plans. The people behind Project Genesis, which is true evil, are the people pulling all the strings. As Bee said, these are potentially self-destructive because not only is Ruby plotting to have her vengeance but she's also laid the seeds of doubt in Adam.

@NarcissisticPotato

So now the government is the enemy, is this now a government vs the people story or is there still going to be evil metahumans who aren't affiliated with the government?

[The Patriarch]

Adam is still going to be with the government but he will try to fix things and not do evil things

[NarcissisticPotato]

@The Patriarch

Of course not! The government isn't the enemy, they just made Ruby into what she is now. Aperture are still the bad guys, so to speak. In fact, the only meta affiliated with the government is Taylor who is quickly losing their trust!

[AcerRo]

Edit: Augh, I keep forgetting about Cypress!

@Letter Bee

What ever happen roku? Also someone tell me are going to wake nightmare up or what now? I have no idea where this is supposed to be going.

[Letter Bee]

We contact Nightmare, have him weaken Avalon's defenses, and allow a raiding team to sneak in?

[NarcissisticPotato]

Go for it if you want to! I don't like forcing you guys into a storyline so you do have a choice - Avalon or help Adam with the biggest Meta threat as of now!

[NarcissisticPotato]

Also, because QT disappeared and couldn't expose Ruby's backstory, I'll just post what I have here to avoid confusion: Ok, I believe I should begin from that which you know, or Adam's backstory, which you've presumably read as per instructions from me. In which case, I will elaborate a bit on the project Adam was apart of and the very critical role that his father (Dr Savage) played in this project. Ok, so before Adam, the government had attempted to create super-soldiers for pretty obvious reasons. Strangely enough, they followed schematics from Nazi doctrine and although this worked up to a point, it could never produce soldiers that had a massive advantage over their average counterparts. So, when Dr Savage, a genealogist, came on-board, the government was incredibly disbelieving of his abilities but after demonstrating on animals through a method dubbed Forced-Rapid-Adaption, Dr Savage showed that he could not only increase human power but he could do so in a natural way. The animal testing was a great breakthrough in gene-science but it was kept under the wraps as the military wanted more - they wanted human subjects. The first were soldiers, and the method just didn't work at all. Their bodies couldn't handle the change and they eventually had to be removed out of fear of them dying. Dr Savage theorized that because their bodies weren't changing so drastically, they weren't so willing to adapt in the way he wanted to. This led to the conclusion that he needed subjects who were still adapting and changing - teenagers, being the most likely candidate. The government didn't think that this was such a good idea but they eventually swayed when Dr Savage volunteered his own son to take part in the super-soldier programme. This new project was dubbed, Project Adam. The rates of growth were exponential in the boy and with his knowledge of genes, Savage altered the boys very genetic makeup while simultaneously forcing his body into situations in which it had to adapt, making it change its own genetic makeup in a more accepting way. The results were outstanding, with Adam reaching the fitness level of top special forces by the age of fourteen. He kept adapting and eventually, he did by all rights become a super-soldier but Savage hypothesised that so much more could happen in a subject that already had the genetic makeup that was desirable for the project, so that Savage could add much more. His idea was to take Adam and to have him sire a child that by all definitions, would become the most advanced human in history. Of course, to better the child, there had to be a mother which would supply the child with even better genetics. Thus, Savage began Project Eve. After seeing the results that the Doctor produced, the government were more than willing to help him but this would require some dirty work, of course. So, they abducted three teenage girls, about four years younger than Adam. After extensive media cover-ups and more dirty work, the girls were practically erased from society. Savage obviously had lesser time to work with these females before he had to have them ready, so he attempted to accelerate his methods which overall, made them particularly more brutal. The girls had their genetic makeup changed, like Adam, but in a much quicker time. For this reason, their bodies could barely handle the change being placed on them and paired with the attempted rapid-adaption, two of the three cases ended in death. This was around the time metas were emerging and all three were picked to that standard - the two who died demonstrated powers in healing and mind-control but the third, who strangely lived, was the complete opposite. It seemed that the rapid-adaption, although incredibly painful to her, kept her alive. Just for clearance, they used methods like passing a current through her body which was nearly quadruple the amount required to kill a human. Obviously, some adjustments had to be made which involved surgeons placing biomechanical devices into the girl so that her body could handle the stress it was under. This included a reinforced spine, increased nerve-protection and super-capacitors which kept an electric charge on her heart, thereby keeping her alive. To prevent future problems, they also did a full wipe of her memory, which was an incredibly difficult but worthy process. The success was ground-breaking, of course - the girl went from an E-Class meta to an A-class meta within a few years. By all accounts, Project Eve was a victory, despite killing two subjects and destroying the very emotional architecture of a young girl; an event, might I add, that was the worst decision of the entire project. Project Eve was merged into Project Adam, making an umbrella programme called Project Genesis. Both test subjects were exposed to one-another in preparation for them breeding, so to speak. Even then, they couldn't see their biggest mistake; they were too blinded by their own success to notice the seed that they had sown. With the test subject for Project Eve, they had increased her powers (technopathy) exponentially, allowing her to become the greatest weapon in an increasingly digital world. What they did not predict was that her intelligence began to increase with her powers - at first, it was barely noticeable but as she adapted more, her mind changed at an alarming rate. They would have noticed it eventually, but that was not to be. The subject developed at mind-numbing rates and eventually, after tapping into the system and creating her own language so as to completely obliterate its defences, the subject discovered the past they had taken away from her. What resulted, was her disappearance, leaving over several people dead and Dr Savage paralyzed from the waist-down. Genesis was shut down but Adam was drawn to the front-lines as a hero. The subject became the biggest fuck-up in American history, considering she became one of the most infamous terrorists in existence - Ruby.

[NarcissisticPotato]

Right guys, LetterBee and I have decided where we want this story to go and how we want it to progress. Acer and Patriarch, could you guys just make a post for me so I can round off Ruby and Scarlett's little jaunt out into enemy territory. Scarlett will have some important info that will hopefully pull you guys out of an attack on Avalon. Ruby will hopefully escape fully-intact... hopefully.

[Eviledd1984]

She can escape she has a chance now since Dean is going a little loopy.
