The Patron Saints || A Unique Superhero RP

Hey guys, me and Xandrya's interactions will be delayed for a bit until Xandrya feels up to posting. Don't worry about "leaving us behind" or anything. If time elapses in game before Xandrya is able to post, we'll figure something out to flow with the time-line. I hope you'll feel better @Xandrya. Take as much time as you need.

The Safe Haven

It really depends. Why are the monsters there? Where did they come from? Are we possibly related to the monsters in some way (because we have powers?)

If the monsters had a reason and some good plot devices, I think monsters could be more interesting. But if they were just there for no reason it wouldn't be as good, you know what I mean?

I vote monsters at the end of the day, however.

Did @Agent 47 ever get back to you, @Treue?

Faye listened quietly to Denise, ignoring the burgers in the skillet until her roommate brought them up. She turned and flipped them without any haste, knowing that they weren't burnt just yet. They were perfectly ready, so Faye quickly plated them on the buns she had laid out for the two of them. She nudged one towards Denise, a signal that her roommate should dig in.

Faye grabbed the ketchup and mustard from the fridge and stayed quiet while she prepared her burger the way she wanted. Her mind went to the shitty situation that Denise was in. Faye had dealt with douchebags before, but that was before. Before, when people didn't have powers. If this guy Denise was dealing with was like her, then her roommate had a lot more on her proverbial plate than the poor girl might be able to deal with.

On a level, Faye didn't want any part of this. She wanted to hide away in her room with her cigarettes and alcohol and ignore that it was happening. But it was happening, and it was happening to somebody in her life. If she didn't kick this in the bucket before it escalated, it could become more of a shit-show in the future. It gave her the onset of a headache just thinking about what could happen.

The fey around her, both Seelie and Unseelie, sensed their proclaimed Queen's internal turmoil and knew what she was going to do before she had fully decided upon it. The Unseelie cackled maliciously, ready for a confrontation. In contrast, the Seelie were almost ceremonial in the way that they prepared themselves; they all grew serious and began fabricating their own personal weaponry and armor from thin air.

Faye sat down at one of the stools next to Denise, the prepared burger in hand. She spoke inbetween taking bites. "We can go fuck this guy up tonight if you want. I've got a few tricks up my sleeve, and I don't mind teaching this ass-hat a lesson or two in how to treat a lady." She stopped eating her burger to pour herself another shot. She downed it like it was nothing, and held the bottle out for Denise. "Or we could just go talk sternly at him, if that's what you'd prefer. It's better to deal with twats like this before they think they have power over you."

Dark images floated through Lucky's mind while her hair constricted Eric, cutting off his air supply. Rage flooded her vision as she glared at her teachers, wondering why they forced them into these situations. Eric didn't want to hurt her, or so he said, and she didn't want to hurt him. She was so overcome with her anger that the only thing that shook her out of it was the vibrations she felt through her hair as her opponent attempted to tap out of the fight.

She quickly released Eric and pushed herself up from where she was still kneeling in a pool of her own blood. She turned to face him and stared at him, her expression stony and unreadable. She stood like this for several moments before speaking. "You could have made this fight a lot harder than it needed to be. But.... I appreciate that you didn't. I don't like pain, and I don't like hurting other people. You're alright in my book, Eric. Let's never do this again." Lucky extended one of her hands to shake his, but stopped when she noticed that it was caked in blood still. She gave him an awkward wave and a cheeky grin. "I'll buy you something yummy from cafeteria later to make up for the whole dirt-in-eyes-suffocating thing. Friends?"

I'm sad to see them go as well, but, as always, the show must go on.

I was thinking about making a villain character as well, to be honest. I had most of her written out, but I'm interested in seeing what you do. @Treue

I should be able to post in this thread by tomorrow. @Xandrya

The Patron Saints || A Unique Superhero RP

We're in another RP together, me and Enalais. I think he'll be back soon, but I might be wrong. I'm waiting on him in my other RP as well.

The Safe Haven

@Enalais

Honestly, I'm alright if you want to do a reverse as well. Your abilities can heal, correct, then have a weaker version be able to take life force as well. As the story progresses, we can have you develop that. A really cool thing you could do is have the color of your hair change with whatever its doing. Green for giving life force, red for taking it.

Let me know what you think!

@Drakey

I think you meant to mention me and not Enalais. The idea for Lucky was for her to be a back line support. She is supposed to augment her teammates eventually down the road with enough character progression. The examples of what I mean are: giving people super strength, super speed, super durability, or super regeneration (only one augment per person at a time). She isn't supposed to ever be in a 1v1, outside of this class that's taking place.

Her self-healing healing powers make her virtually un-killable, but she can be put out of commission with enough damage (falling unconscious and being cocooned protectively by her powers). Even while unconscious, Lucky is not killable unless extreme measures are taken (I'm talking hurling her into a volcano and it would still take a minute or two for her to die). That is why her powers aren't offensive, otherwise she would be very broken.

I could totally re-write her powers to do what you said if you think that would be more interesting, but to be honest... We have a lot of offensive people in the line up. I think having a background player might be better since there are already a lot of people who can just blast everything to smithereens with their powers.

"Thanks, I don't know how they keep getting in there." Faye caught the cigarette pack Denise had tossed her and fought the nearly overpowering urge to just light one up right in the apartment. She went to pocket them, but stopped short when she noticed the cigarette-stealing Unseelie looming in the depths of her pocket - it's beady black eyes shimmering expectantly. She raised her eyebrows at it, as if to say "Not this time, you little shit". Instead, she fiddled with the pack while she listened to Denise, popping a cigarette in and out of the container over and over.

Something about the way Denise spoke triggered all of Faye's holy shit it's drama, run away alarms, but there was an underlying urgency to the last thing her roommate had said. There was having a bad day, then there was having a bad day. And to Faye, it seemed like Denise was having the latter. But she wasn't prepared to delve deeper unless Denise had an actual problem that Faye could see or touch. And even then, maybe not. It really depended. She put her cigarettes in her bra for safe-keeping, away from the slippery fingers of a particular fey.

"This world is a fuckin' cesspool. It'll eat you up if you let it, so tell it to piss off. C'mon, you need something more than snacks." Faye gave Denise a rare lopsided smile and nodded with her head towards their spacious kitchen. She made her way over to their fridge and rummaged around. Without preamble she extracted some hamburger patties, buns, and all of the accoutrements to go with it. Which meant a bottle of hard liquor and two shot glasses, of course. She poured Denise a shot and slid it along the counter, then poured herself a shot. She raised the drink towards Denise in a mock "toasting" gesture, and then threw her head back and downed it easily.

She set out to cooking everything up, and spoke over her shoulder while she did so. "Nothing better than a burger and some liquor on a shitty night. Plus, this crap will go bad if we don't cook it up soon. Win-win." With every flip of the patties in their skillet, the fey gathered in closer - all drooling at the sight of the sizzling meat. Some even tried to hang off of her spatula, but she shook them off with a quick flick. "What are your plans for the rest of the night?" Faye asked as she leaned against the counter and poured herself a second shot.

The Safe Haven

@Enalais Your powers haven't been fully explored yet. You could alter them to make them more easy to execute? Give yourself a bit more "um-mph"? I, for one, wouldn't mind if you expanded them. I had to do that at one point to give Lucky a bit more power.

What do you guys think? Would it be okay? @Kaesus @Drakey
