False Prophet I hope things get better for you. Take it one day at a time and try to find solace in the simple things in life.

Bio

Just a small, fragile birdboy with a huge beak. I used to be Manapool, but we don't talk about those days. I have been here a while if you couldn't tell.

In all honesty, I am 23 and in a committed relationship outside of roleplay. I work as a cook who works nights. I'm a big fan of seeing people's food they make and learning about new foods if you ever want to share. I enjoy tabletop games, card games, and video games as well as reading comics in my spare time. Your typical nerd, you might even find me at conventions!

Most of the time I stick to Superhero groups and Play by post D&D here. I have admittedly begun taking far fewer rps. I prefer Fantasy and Superheroes as a genre but can find myself interested in Sci-fi settings too! My main fandoms are Fallout, Marvel, and Souleater but I have a lot of niche interests like Hylics, Neopets, and Monster High. If you have a strange fandom you want to rp? I am the kind to at least take a look at the source material!

These days I am closer to a low to mid Casual roleplayer. I want at least a paragraph from replies and don't mind dipping lower than casual if it fits the flow better. I am capable of writing decent long posts but expect me to take eons to reply. I also must warn you that I tend to lose a lot of steam in the winter months.

@Skwint Let me know if you ever want to rp, we seemed to be the last two remaining.
R.I.P.?
@Lurking Krog Rala isn't super squishy but she's about to be up in the middle of the fray if you're offering.
Finished watching Tuca and Bertie. At first I wasn't into it, my girlfriend wanted to continue so I kept going. By the end of the first season I was completely engrossed in the characters. The way they take on substance abuse can be heavy but relatable and Bertie specifically is portrayed with a lot of grace in my opinion despite the topics involved. What I found more enjoyable than anything was the lore they set up in the background, Dapper dog's legacy, the moss, the holidays, it's all enjoyable to me and makes the world feel weird but somewhat coherent.

We're going to watch primal next, and I am excited
I think I saw some sort of... young adult, Testudine warrior mutant...

Rala is probably going to focus on trying to kill the guys attacking the place. I feel like Flicker or someone else fast can probably get up there on their next turn. If anyone has a way to take out the fire that would be great.

Episode #2: Additional Adversaries
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
The bathroom was eerily silent as Chie finished putting everything into her bag in an organized order. She felt like a fool for not bringing her trademark weapons. Without them, she felt truly powerless against the overwhelming numbers. She took a deep breath to try to calm her shaking nerves, it never seemed to get any less terrifying dealing with villains. She was just glad she had brought her staff, a habit left over from walking the streets of Gotham.

"OK, pull yourself together girl!" She said, slapping her cheeks, a futile attempt and quelling her nerves. To bolster her bravado, she extended her staff to its full length and gripped it with the might of a Valkyrie. As if on cue, the sounds of panic outside rose to a crescendo and Chie felt herself fly into a frenzy. She swung the bathroom door open and charged out to find a couple of security guards being absolutely pummeled by a group of identical hoodlums. Chie continued her charge, now letting out a battle cry as she sprung forward and swung her Staff in a ferocious flurry.

Caught off guard and startled by the girl's bravado, the young man(s) were battered quickly as she swung first into one man's face, then sweeping the legs of another before thrusting her staff forward and sending another flying into a nearby kiosk filled with small yet incredibly annoying toys that began moving and singing from the contact. The remaining four tried to rush the dangerous woman and put up a good fight, but ultimately Chie was just too tough. She won the fight, but not without earning herself a split lip and a black eye. Chie made sure to give one of them a final kick as they lay in a pile beside her.

With the fight over and Chie's feelings quelled, she quickly moved to the guards. They were already getting up but their pained groans told her everything. She offered a handout and one of them, a particularly portly man with an incredible mustache took her offer.
"Thank you..." She rasped out as she easily lifted him to his feet.
"Yeah, you saved our lives," The other said in surprise.

Chie wanted to let them inflate her ego a little more, but she was part of the titan's academy now, she didn't have time to dawdle. This was a test, a chance to prove her worth as a hero to Cyborg and Wally. Still, she couldn't help but speak loudly and proudly, like she imagined heroes should.
"They'll be time to thank me when the mall is safe. Try to get people somewhere safe, I'll handle the rest" She said with gusto. The two cops looked at her with a perplexed look and it slowly dawned on Chie that she wasn't in uniform. Being ordered around by a girl in a pinafore dress wasn't something armed guards do often. Still, the man with the mustache nodded in agreement, much to her relief. She didn't waste time rushing off, partly from feeling embarrassed but mostly because she had friends to find.

As Chie began moving towards the center of the mall, she found herself weaving through crowds of people running the opposite way. She was surprised that most of the hoodlums seemed identical, but she was too busy looking for her fellow heroes. Chie peered into store after store looking for them until out of the corner of her eye, she watched a hoodlum get sent sprawling onto the ground outside the entrance to an arcade. Bingo. Chie came running, jumping a couple of arcade consoles to get the claw machine in the back. Her two friends were there, seeming just as shocked by all of this as she was. Chie took a moment to gasp for air, she had run all the way to them after all.
"Bad... guys... one... guy" She managed to puff out between breaths as she rested on the side of a Galaga machine.
"I called for back-up"
Rala ducked behind a house when she saw the arrows flying toward her. Peering out from the burning cottage she searched the forest line for her enemy. She could see movement, but the shadowy figures seemed to blend in with the woodlands, and the blazing fires made the air hazy enough to bend their shapes into disproportionate forms. As she continued to scan the streets for stragglers, she caught a glimpse of Flicker running full force towards the archers, arrows flying past him as he rushed to the aid of a fallen citizen.

Rala quickly followed suit, feeling her feet go before she realized. She wasn't about to let him die like the stranger, presumably, had. Flicker proved to be faster than she expected though, and as she saw another barrage of arrows coming her way, Rala ducked towards cover once more. Landing by another burning house, she felt a pang of heat from her backside. Turning, the rogue noticed her cape has caught ablaze.
"Flicker you fool, get out of there before you get hurt! This is no time to be the hero!" She called out as she patted the flame out with her boot.
