"Ahhhh...much better" John sighed in relief as he downed the last of the black beverage. 'Although that was quite a bizarre waking dream of mine; summoning Braum's shield like that. Although I-' his train of thought was interrupted by the sudden appearance of that very shield. It had come without so much as a sound, or any kind of light. Once second it wasn't there, and the next it was. Before John could break out into a panic, it vanished, just as suddenly as it appeared '...it wasn't a dream. I really summoned Braum's shield. Wait, did anyone notice?' He hadn't heard anyone gasp or scream, so that was a good sign. Since he didn't want to look too suspicious, he didn't look around at everyone in the cafe 'I...might be in the clear.'
Kamina woke up refreshed and ready to tackle the day (and anyone or anything else for that matter). "AHHHHHH! It never ceases to amaze me how...refreshing a long night sleep is, it's easy to see why everyone does it. So, remind me what the plan was for today; we were going to beat up the guy causing this, right? There was something about Legendaries too, wasn't there? Ah, now I remember; the guy causing this is a Legendary, and we have to beat him up! It's a tall order, but I'm up for the challenge. Although...I'm starting to remember something about another Legendary...was he going to help us beat up the first one, or something?" Kamina quickly noticed Anthony on the floor near him. Without saying anything, he scooped him up, and set him down on his head "there you go"
--- Tini
We now return to Tini's dream, already in progress. Just be thankful you don't have to sit through the whole thing, that way lies madness
"-something everyone else overlooked; the cookies." Tini was currently in an upside-down tower suspended in mid air. Around him were a group of strange Pokemon.
"We've already discussed the cookies, we found them to be irrelevant" said a Smeargle with two eye-patches
"That we did, but you've all forgotten something vital; they're raisin cookies."
"So?" Asked an Alakazam that was far more buff then any Alakazam had a right to be "that doesn't mean any-" and suddenly his eyes, as well as the eyes of everyone else in the room but Tini's, widened in realization "no...but that means"
Tini nodded his head solemnly "I'm afraid it does. Put together with everything we know, there is only one rational conclusion we can come to. Edwardo, if you would?" he gestured to a bald Mankey
"Ayude, no puedo eascpe! Este lugar es una locura, este podría ser el infierno?" Was his response
"Exactly" Tini said
"Are..are you trying to say that all this time-" someone from the crowed started to ask
"I am. It's tragic, but it's the truth; we were all lied to by the baron."
"I will not stand for this, I say we charge the baron's keep and make him answer for this!" A Togepi with an afro said in a voice way too deep to come out of a creature as small as it.
"YEAH!!!" Was the general concessions
Tini found himself suddenly awake "Awww, it was just getting good. Oh well, I can wait until the next night." Getting out of bed, he saw that only Bonnie was awake. As much as he wanted to go and get something to eat, he didn't want poor Eralion to wake up all alone, so he decided to wait for him.
Would it be okay if John caught everyone's attention by summoning and dismissing his shield on accident (any NPC who see it would just write it off as them seeing things)?
'All I need is a drink, then everything will be back to normal' John thought to himself as he sat down in a booth at the cafe near his home, his coffee already in hand. Setting his satchel down beside him, he took a drink 'wonderful! I can feel it working already.' He mentally sighed in relief as the rich dark roast flowed down his throat. With caffeine now in his system, he was starting to feel wide awake. 'But still, how strange; to suddenly dream that I could summon Braum's shield. How very peculiar.' John took a quick look around the Cafe to assure himself that everything was indeed normal. After that, he returned to his drink.
Whatever it was that was possessing Meria, it sure was mouthy "well why do you gods love the sound of your own voice? Trust me; we find you as annoying and insufferable as you find us. We're just not as vocal about it as you are." Nathan mouthed off to the thing inside of Meria, hoping to draw it's ire 'the bigger the ego, the easier it is to bruise' he thought to himself. 'It's really too bad this is Meria's body, I can't get too rough with it. Raising an eyebrow, he started talking again "so...feel like telling us what your evil plan is? Don't try to hide it; I know your type, and you're just dying for someone to ask so that you can go into full detail just how superior you are to us. I've done this song and dance before, so let's just skip over the fluff."
John was awoken by the sensation of something tapping his face. Opening his eyes, he found it to be his pet ferret Danny "Danny? It's so early. Is something wrong little buddy?" he asked, even though he didn't expect the animal to answer. As John picked up his ferret and held him in his arms, he could easily tell that he was distressed by something. Danny was squirming around like crazy, and not in an attempt to get out of John's hold (something that would be an even greater cause for concern; since Danny was a little cuddle bug, he absolutely loved being held and petted. So if he didn't want to be held by John of all people, then that would really mean something). "Are you sick? Here, let me get you to bed, I think you need more sleep." Setting Danny down in the smaller ferret bed next to his, John tucked the little guy in as he gently rubbed his head, which relaxed him. "There we go buddy, you just get all the rest you need." Once Danny had been soothed to sleep, John got back up and started heading for the door.
However on his way there, something strange happened; a huge blue shield suddenly appeared at his side. "What the!?" He jumped in surprise. To his dismay, this woke up Danny "Oh Danny, I'm so sorry about that" but Danny didn't seem too concerned about being woken up. Rather, his attention was solely on the strange shield that had just appeared, as he danced around it. "This...this is simply insane. How could something this large just appear out of nowhere? Although the more I look at it, the more that I feel that I've seen this particular shield some...where...before" that's when it dawned on him "...it couldn't be...could it?" Checking the other side, he found an ornate carving of a ram head "...it is. This is Braum's shield. But...how is this possible? More importantly; what do I do with it? This thing is far to large for me to carry around or leave here." As soon as he had finished saying that, the shield disappeared before his very eyes. "Well that was...strangely convenient. Am I still half asleep? It would certainly explain all of this."
Quick question; would it be okay if John's ferret gained sapience, as well as some of his power (ie, that power that he uses during Warm Hug)? Although since his vocal cords would have remained untouched, he still wouldn't be able to speak.
Username: SunsetOverdrive Name: John Age: 20 Gender: Male Main: Braum Appearance: John is 6'4 True Appearance: In his true form, John loses his ability to wear a shirt, making him topless for as long as he remains in this form. His muscles also get larger (but not comically so). The fur of his pet Danny becomes white as snow as well
The Unbreakable Heart (Passive): In his true form, John gains extra durability. Becoming twice as tough as a normal human. He also becomes strong enough to heft his massive shield with little effort.
Warm Hug: John sends Danny to an ally, who wraps himself around their neck like a scarf. While under the effect of Warm Hug, the ally gains a durability bonus from The Unbreakable Heart at a 50% penalty. John can not benefit from Warm Hug.
The Unbreakable Shield: John can summon his shield at will. This shield is a massive tower shield that completely conceals his body from view.
By Your Side: John takes a mighty leap (that seems to ignore gravity) to an ally, covering the distance in a fraction of the time it would normally take. If the ally is under the effect of Warm Hug, then John can use this from twice as far away.
Line In The Snow: John plants his shield in place, which causes allows him to create a construct double of it who's length is three times the height of his shield.
Personality: John is a very soft spoken man, he always has a gentle look to him despite his physical build. He has a love of small animals, and even has a pet ferret named Danny, whom he cares for greatly. He is a gentle giant martial pacifist, only resorting to violence if left with no other viable option. Otherwise, he tries to solve problems by talking things out. Even when angry, he manages to maintain a degree of dignity, as his anger is more 'righteous indignation' then rage. He is a very outgoing guy who wears his heart on his sleeves (when he's wearing a shirt that is), and he loves to meet no people. Due to being the eldest in his family, he is a naturally protective person
Short Biography: John had a relatively normal life growing up. Not a lot of really noteworthy things happened in his childhood, at least until he was eight. That was the year that John became an older brother to a baby girl, and it changed him fundamentally. While John was always a nice guy, having a younger sister brought out his nurturing side, something that was pushed even further when the next new addition to the family came along; the twins. Now with three younger sisters, and parents who were suddenly very busy with work, John found himself thrust into the role of caretaker for his little sisters.
This had a huge effect on his growth as a person; as having to take care of himself and his sister made him domesticated. He cooked, cleaned, took care of them when they were sick, and any other house work that needed to be done. To his surprise, John found that he didn't mind how the needs of his sisters had taken up so much of his time. As they grew older, John found himself needed less and less. To fill up the new free time he had, he turned to working out, getting a pet ferret, and video games. One day, he came across a game called League of Legends, and was instantly drawn to Braum, as he felt the man was a kindred spirit (real or not). So he found himself babysitting his ADC in bot lane most every game, with his lucky ferret Danny napping in his lap. Other: The heart is the strongest muscle
@AmbraIt's basically an altered version of Unbreakable. What makes it different are two things; he can't move while using it, and the energy projection thingy is a lot wider (I'm still not sure if I'm explaining that part right. Do you understand what I mean? I'm talking about the big blue (if not using a skin) energy shield thing seen during Unbreakable's animation).
