Schism: Blood of Heroes

Hi @Banana, welcome to the game.

I'm not a GM, but before they get here, there are a couple of thigns with your character that will probably need some tweaking. First, we've filled our quota for heroes from the USA, and second, this is happening just a few days after Nagoya. There isn't time for Xoxi's faked death and return "years later".

Rebekah listened to Mimic's opening speech from her desk in the second row. The older super seemed capable and authoritative, though perhaps a little on edge. Talk about confident as well, boasting easily that he'd be able to best each of them with their own abilities. Sure, he probably had the experience to back up those claims, but the jibe still awakened a little of Rebekah's competitive spirit. She wanted to give a good showing for herself, even if she couldn't beat him.

That said, an all-out battle in the classroom didn't sound all that likely. They would just be sparring, she thought, enough for the teacher to get an idea of their abilities without anyone getting hurt.

"Excuse me, Sir?" she asked, raising her hand into the air. "When you say we will be fighting you, how far does that mean we will be going? Like, will we just be trying to knock each other down, or out, or going on until someone taps out?"

The Djinn's sudden change in tone caused Rebekah to stop walking and keep a steady eye contact with the shining blue cat. Up until now, Toto had been using formal language, but kept a jovial tone. It was quite a contrast to the deadly seriousness of the new turn in their conversation.

It was a weighty thing, ho hold another's life in her hands, as she now realised she did. Of course she had thought about it in the abstratct, since it really came with the territory of being a superhero, her chosen career path. She wanted to use her abilities to make the world better, to protect people form harm, but to have such responsibility here and now was a sharp reminder of how careful she needed to be.

"I will be careful then. You have my word as a superhero-in-training that I will strive to protect your life. You can search for a safer place to put the totem if you like, and we'll give it whatever protections we can. For now, I'll put it in the most secure compartment of my bag, with the other things that I really can't afford to get broken."

She took the bag off her shoulders and dug inside for a moment, before pulling out a thick-walled quartz vial. After retrieving the totem from her belt-pouch, she slowly shrunk it down to a quarter of its original height and fit it snugly inside. The lid was screwed tightly back on and the whole vial went back into a padded pocket near the centre of the backpack where it was held securely by an elastic strap. Surely, there was no way it was going to be damaged in there, not without someone taking the backpack and removing it first.

"There, does that look OK? If there's anything more you want, say the word. It's your totem, and you're the expert on protecting it. I'm glad you trust me, but I'm more than happy to defer to you on this. Actually, let me return that gesture of goodwill. I'd like us to be friends and partners, so you don't have to keep calling me Mistress or Madam or anything overly formal. You can just call be Rebekah, OK?"

The fight began and Jackson quickly ducked into the middle of their little clump of champions, so close that he was within touching distance of each of them. He needed to be to do his job. He thought of his role on this team as somewhere between an armourer and an alchemist: he gave team members the tools that they needed to do their work, while mixing and combining abilities into something new when something extra and special was needed.

He reached out to Cypress and tagged her hand as she bounced by, and immediately felt power flow into his body. It was an odd sensation, something like a very hot drink flowing down into his stomach and then spreading out through his veins. While that part stayed more or less the same, each different power he had encountered had slightly different feel to it. This one felt kind of slimy. He shivered for a moment and then got on with it.

With a hand on Maeve's shoulder, he transferred the ability on to her, and then to Ulysse. He wasn't sure if they would want to use it in this fight, or be able to do so very well, but he gave them an hour's worth of the ability anyway. He didn't have anything else to give them, and it was better that they have an extra trick up their sleeves and not have to use it then to need it and not have it.

Cypress bounced by again, and this time he had a gift of power for her. While touching both she and Maeve, he copied the succubus's ability across between them. She had made some comment about that earlier, so he let her try it out.

"I think I'll keep it on me for now" Rebekah decided. "You don't mind if I shrink it a bit for storage? It's completely reversible, and I always keep my bag as close to me as possible. It should be safe there, especially if nobody else knows about it."

As she said that, however, she looked suspiciously up around the hallway's ceiling for any security cameras or other recording devices. Security around this school was tight, so she wouldn't be surprised of the buildings were under constant surveillance. She didn't spot any, but that was no guarantee that they weren't there. "Does anyone else here know about it?"

The Incredibles: The New Supers

Rebekah Green

The scene that greeted the trainee supers seemed larger than life, chaotic, and a bit overwhelming. The dark street and shell of the factory were lit by helicopter searchlights over head, the red beams coming from the robot and flickering flames coming from further inside. Amid all of that, just a few small, dark figures zipped back and forth, dancing between the colossal droid's spinning arms. They were all that was containing it.

Rebekah stopped dead. Did she really want to go and tangle with that thing? Surely any sane person should just be running. Rebekah liked to think of herself as sane. She hesitated for a moment. No, for tonight she wasn't just Rebekah the Sane. It was time to be Karearea, the agile, fast-moving falcon that took on prey larger than itself and took them down with skill and precision. It was time to be super. Deep breath in, here goes.

She head Mako call out for information, and looked up for a place to get a good view of the situation. Her eyes found a balcony across the street, and in a moment she teleported up to it. She could see the whole battle unfolding, as well as Mr. Incredible, racing up a fire escape to get above the robot.

"Up above!" she called down. "Just around the corner!" As she yelled, the robot staggered in her direction, tripped by a quickly growing vine. She had to teleport further up to stay out of its reach, but then came back down as it moved away. Remembering the story of how earlier omnidroids had been defeated, namely from the inside out, Karearea set about piercing the robot's shell.

Karearea retrieved a tiny glass vial from its pocket in her backpack, which was filled with battery acid. It couldn't have contained more than a thimbleful of liquid, but it grew until it fit comfortably within her fist. The robot passed by again and she hurled the container down until it shattered near the top of the omnidroid's spherical body. With the acid in place and fizzing away, she focussed her power into the liquid, growing the small splatter into something much bigger and more powerful. In a matter of seconds, she was able to make twice as much, then five, ten, twenty and a hundred times as much acid. She stopped increasing it for a moment to study the results of her actions. If that much wasn't enough to melt a good-sized hole in the robot's outer casing, she could always try a different tactic, or just add more.

Schism: Blood of Heroes

OK. I was hoping to wait for our dragon to land before I posted, but I'll go ahead with things as they are.

Schism: Blood of Heroes

No problems here.

Crash into Vulture and I if you like.

"Where would you suggest?" Rebekah responded, still talking out loud. I'd have thought it was safest where I can keep an eye on it myself. If I had a nice, secure place I'd use it, but I've only just arrived in this school, let alone this country, and I don't have any secret, private hidey-holes just yet."
