Interested, need something OC-based after some recent screwups on my end playing canons.

I was thinking someone whose power is that they can store and retrieve things in contact with their body in a pocket dimension? I've used the power before and with some out-of-the-box thinking it usually winds up being pretty fun and useful.

Coruscant Sacked: Aftermath

~| Day 3, 02:44-02:54 GST |~
~|Khan Sainen, Kaggath |~

Khan wasn't sure how he had avoided those last few blaster bolts and kept running, but somehow he had managed it. The troopers were past where Lea was hiding and focused on him now and that was all that mattered anyways. Now he would just have to get away and give them the slip so he could-

be trapped in a dead-end hallway with four angry, armed troopers chasing after him. That was alright, that was fine, he just needed to come up with a plan to neutralize them and escape. How could he best take on four of the Empire's soldiers unarmed, in the hallway's tight confines while they were armored and armed with blasters? A few plans of action came to mind as he reached the end of the hall and by the time the guards had caught up to him his mind was made up. He turned around and let the first one approach him. The trooper's posture was only slightly wary, more casually annoyed than anything else as the blaster was shouldered away and he reached out a hand to snatch and haul at Khan's robe. Khan let him reach his arm out all the way then struck at a weak point in the elbow joint of the armor twice, an initial shock with the edge of one hand towards the back of the joint to jolt and relax the tendons there then a hard strike to the same joint to break the elbow before the fool inside could react. He stepped further in, positioning one leg to unbalance the first victim's base of support as he reeled from pain while shoving him with both hands and his whole body towards the others that had him cut off from escape.

Using every bit of force speed he could muster while the unfortunate trooper with the broken arm was sent sprawling towards and into his co-workers as a distraction while Khan tried to close the gap between himself and the remaining three before they could bring their blasters to bear on him. As he reached the next nearest soldier he rammed the heel of his palm against the enemy's helmet to tilt his head back then jabbed the his fingertips into the gap where the helmet met the armor as hard as he could to strike at the neck. His efforts were met with a ragged choking gurgle as the trooper sagged and clutched at his throat in a near-faint. Years of training honed into instinct told him to whirl and lash out with a low scything kick to the side of a third soldier's knee and send him staggering as he tried to attack from behind with a second quick kick blowing it out sideways. By now the fourth trooper had untangled himself from the first with the broken arm only for Khan to use a mix of Force Speed and his half-trained abilities at Force Jump to slam a flying knee into his helmet with unusual force, knocking him hard into a wall. While he was dazed Khan snapped a kick against his head to knock his head against the wall again, leaving him sliding into unconsciousness, or so Khan hoped. Just in case he snatched up a nearby blaster, checked to make sure it was still on stun and pulled the trigger on all of them point blank until he was sure they were out and not just temporarily debilitated.

He'd been stupidly lucky that he hadn't taken a hit, but he was pretty sure his hands and knee would be swollen up with bruises and that last kick had made him tear something. Ontop of that he had to take a second to let all of the post-combat rush drain out of himself, then tried to decide if he should go looking for Lea. He crept much more slowly and cautiously back down the hallway, eyes scanning for her as he went while also looking for any place that might be likely to help him find Xid.

Coruscant Sacked: Aftermath

~| Day 3, 02:31- 02: 45 GST |~
~| Lea & Khan, Kaggath |~

Khan tried to stay wary of any sort of danger and scan the hallways as he walked, though he was sort of distracted by the thought of what might have happened to Xid to cause him to disappear from the kolto tank. He wasn’t actually sure what they would do once they managed to find Xid if he was really in trouble, but they had to try and do something didn’t they?

In the background, low at first but rapidly gaining in volume, was the noise of marching boots. That was clear it could only be one thing, Lea reasoned as her body tensed slightly. Being so close to Khan, the boy could easily tell she also had heard it and that it concerned her for obvious reasons. Without much of an explanation she leaned to whisper into his ear, applying a bit more weight on his small body, “We have to do something, distracted them or hide. Else we’ll never find Xid if we’re tossed back into the cells every time.”

They were going to be discovered after all? No, Khan couldn’t let that happen while Xid was still missing. Lea was obviously still too weakened to serve as the distraction and at the moment he couldn’t think of any place to hide, so there was only one thing he could do, at least as he saw things. He eased Lea’s weight off from around himself and ran towards the troopers shouting and waving his arms and generally being as noticeable as possible as he took off away from the other jedi. Khan was reasonably fast for his size, and if it came down to it he could probably fight off the troopers who caught up to him, at least for a while. Meanwhile Lea could hopefully either hide or continue the search for Xid. They probably wouldn’t kill him or hurt him too badly if he was captured, just throw him back in his cell. He hoped.

Lea didn’t stop him, knowing it wouldn’t have done any good. She was silent as she pressed herself against the wall, allowing herself to become as small as possible, while the troopers spotted Khan. The head guy shouted, his blaster raised while her took a warning aim. “Halt, stop right there.”

When the boy didn’t, he looked to his companions then gestured for them to fall out. Their boots rushed across the metal flooring, echoing their location to Khan rather easily, while in pursuit of the younger Jedi. However, he was faster and quickly started to pull away. Now left alone, Lea made a breath in relief then pushed herself upright to continue her search for Xid. She was sure the boy would escape unharmed and so, she didn’t worry about his well being because the Darth obviously didn’t want them dead. At worse he would be caught and placed back into the cells.

The question also remains as to what to do with Ted. I had plans for him but damned if I remember what they were now I'm hopefully getting over being sick

The New Frontier: A Marvel/DC One Universe RP

Sorry for my loooooooong absence, but I've been considerably ill and only now feeling better.

Any suggestions for how to pick back up?

Should I do different characters?

The New Frontier: A Marvel/DC One Universe RP

I mean, if anyone deserves the title of Outsider, it's Moon Knight.

He'd probably be considered the weirdest guy in the group by the others in it XD

The New Frontier: A Marvel/DC One Universe RP

I agree in terms of Moon Knight working generally better in his own stories, but I don't think there's no place for him on a team or in a wider universe, or that his stories or being brought up from D-list in general necessarily have to involve a team-up to be classified as better or improving.

I mean, he's that guy who probably seems weird to other heroes in their own contexts when his cross over with theirs, or he should be. He could cross with the Punishers in this potentially, but I'm pretty sure Frank would think he's gone a little off his rocker since he's dealing with werewolf potions and shadowy cabals as much as ordinary criminals and claims to be the resurrected avatar of a god since his old days, plus he uses higher tech. He could cross over with Ghost Rider or one of the other supernaturals, but he uses tech and skills moreso than magic and the world he inhabits is generally a lot less high drama and world-rending stakes.

He can actually be kind of a neat crossroads for some other heroes if he's used right because a good Moon Knight story blends mystery, military past, pavement stomping street-level stuff and at least a good pinch of weirdness and the supernatural even if their occurrences are sometimes more grounded and not always supernatural in truth.

Not to say I want to launch him directly into the big leagues even in this RP, I don't want to forget the essence of the character I'm portraying. But there's room to build him in and build him up in interesting ways.

The New Frontier: A Marvel/DC One Universe RP

I was mostly joking about MK being included and mentioning the fact that he ALSO owns a company as an afterthought to Ted's lack of inclusion. He IS a perennial D-lister in the comics, though that doesn't mean I can't make him something better here even though I like his little D-list-y adventures. I feel like if they ever bothered writing him consistently he could legitimately be good, especially rereading some of his early junk lately.

The latest batch of writers for his stuff actually cited his complete lack of characterization, skill/power/tech level and story tone as a foundation of the character, which I'm not sure I agree with really.

His newest stuff upcoming in a month might be interesting, but it might also serve as a gateway to completely destroy the character and remove him from comics entirely.

Also yeah, 'Social Butterfly/Moral Compass' basically does seem to be Ted's role, especially among the billionaire vigilante types. I mean Tony's snarky and humorous, but he's also occasionally just a huge insufferable jerk plus a sometimes traumatized on-again-off-again alcoholic. Sometimes GA is balanced out too but sometimes...not so much.

The New Frontier: A Marvel/DC One Universe RP

I mean BOTH of my characters are rich guys with companies, but I haven't given Moon Knight's rich guy alter ego any play yet. I'm sure he'll host a charity gala at some point or something.

EDIT:

Also LIES! NOBODY RESPECTS KORD INDUSTRIES! Why would they, it's just a less big Waynetech or Stark with a sexier, funnier, more beloved CEO.

The New Frontier: A Marvel/DC One Universe RP

Ivy's up. Arc #2 is officially underway. And there's a crossover in our future.

EDIT:
And when @Vandy finally gives me a yay or nay I'll possibly add Lex Corp to the list of people giving aid in Poland.

Also, if I left your company off the list, no hard feelings. The media is fickle. ^{Is looking at you Kord.}

@Blue Demon

It's fine, nobody give my character any respect or acknowledgement which...is probably accurate to comics Ted.
