6:00 PM, Yesterday

Overall, the situation of the stolen manga was faifly one-sided. Gankona simply kept the manga out of the shortie's reach, reading it while occasionally popping one of the peculiar fired objects he had into his mouth. Karada simply sat, slightly bemused at the situation unfolding, choosing not to interject. Between that and the interactions between Kaz and Rikka, Karada was presented an excellent show. And what was a show without dinner - Yuri, the other blondie made his way out of the kitchen area, before setting down several slices of pizza, which Karada accepted gratefully. He was used to cooking his own meals, and having someone else do it once in a while felt very nice.

The other kids, all seeming like they had something they needed to do, began to file out one after the other, until eventually only the delinquent pair of Gankona and Karada remained. Silence dominated this space, and while they occasionally entered into a conversation about their battle or what they expected the next day, Gank seemed fine with the silence. He had Kaz's manga to read, after all. Checking the clock on the wall and seeing that the time was already 8:40, Karada rose from his seat at the table, before walking away. As he did so, he held up a hand and called out to Gank.

"Night man, I gotta get some sleep. See ya tomorrow."

Karada heard a slight grunt of acknowledgement from Gank, followed by the turning of a page, and then closed the door to the cafeteria. Slowly he made his way to the basement, doing his best to not put pressure on his leg. Not trying to brag, but he thought he was pretty good at walking with the injury by this point. Finally, he managed to make it to his room and, after removing the shirt, jacket and shoes of his uniform, before turning off the lights and slipping into bed. Just as he did so, a thought came over him - How would he wake up in the morning? He wasn't particularly gifted at waking up on his own, and he didn't even know what time he needed to wake up by. A cursory look around the room alleviated his fears, however - near the far side of the room, next to some panel, was 3 bright red numbers that said 8:55 PM. Confident that this was an alarm clock, Karada allowed his exhausted body to fall into a deep slumber, not even questioning if the alarm clock was turned on.

---

6 AM, Today

If the blaring sound of what could only be described as a school bell rang throughout his room. Karada jumped to alertness, having always been a light sleeper since the choking incident, and quickly made his way to the alarm to shut off the blaring noise emanating from it. It was only then that Karada noticed - the alarm itself had no buttons attached to it that could shut it off, and the only thing that even seemed like controls was the panel directly next to the alarm itself. A sharp pain spread throughout Karada's body as the adrenaline wore off, and Karada quickly made his way to the desk of medical supplies. Taking off his pants, Karada sighed in relief. The pain was from putting to much pressure on the leg, but thankfully, the stitches were still in place. Karada considered taking some pain medication to help with the searing in his leg, but the deep cutting voice of Lorken pierced through the alarm's shrill.

"RISE AND SHINE, DESPOILERS OF MY HOME. EVERYONE OUT HERE NOW."

Karada quickly pulled up his pants and put on his belt, before carefully making his way to the closet and grabbing a shirt and jacket. Afterwards, he made his way straight out the door. Lorken was not the kind of guy you would want to be on the bad side of. After making it out of his room, Karada noticed that Gank was remarkably well groomed. Or, at least he was compared to the recently awoken Karada. As soon as he made it out of the doorway, Karada slowly began to put on the shirt and, after finishing the top button, slid the grey jacket over his body. Immediately afterwards, he buttoned up the jacket. Karada had adopted some tastes from his upper class family - one of which was a penchant for buttoning up his clothes. Just letting the cloth flap around his neck seemed unappealing. After he finished getting dressed, Karada turned towards Lorken, awaiting instructions and hoping that he would be allowed to take a shower.

Darkness in the Light

Samuel Dukes, The Healer

While the others continued to walk towards their destination, the entire party having different speeds at which they moved, Samuel continued to keep his slow and steady pace. The scenery was still as nice as it was before, the blue expanse only being blocked by the trees that occasionally covered Samuel's view. Eventually, however, studying the sky was abandoned - Samuel had nearly tripped while doing so, and hurting his leg would only make travel more difficult. Instead, Samuel observed the surroundings - forest covered the land, and the ground steadily became more and more uneven. The difficult terrain seemed to pose no problem whatsoever to Syfa and Ninty, causing Samuel to wonder if the two ever noticed the rising difficulty. However, Samuel wasn't the type to complain - far from it! Heck, he's the one that should be motivating the others if they are having problems! With a new pep in his step, Samuel slowly caught up to the group, having decided that the time to site-see was over.

Timothy was slowly growing ahead of the party, which worried Samuel. After all, what if they ran into bandits or wildlife? Then again, Timothy and his men had injured a man in Samuel's village years ago, so surely Timothy was able to defend himself... Bran and Syfa were in a small conversation, which Samuel chose not to listen into. That would just be rude. This did not stop him from noticing Ninty accidentally walk into a low hanging branch, hurting her eye and eliciting a string of profanities that easily made Samuel blush. A woman shouldn't swear like that! But more importantly, was she okay? A cursory look showed that Ninty didn't pierce her eye, and that the stinging she most likely felt would go down in a few minutes. Samuel let loose the breath he was holding, relieved that she didn't seriously injure himself. Samuel knew that even the smallest of eye wounds could result in permanent damage, or even blindness. He didn't want to use any of his strength healing her, especially when the group could suffer more grievous wounds. Ninty soon after injuring her eye called out to Timothy to slow down, but the elf seemed to be in a fervor, continuing down the path at a speed none of the others could match. Samuel, by no means the most athletic, was having difficulties keeping up, and was almost tempted to bless himself to have more stamina. But quickly, the idea left his mind. That would be very selfish to bless himself with his magic, when he didn't even offer to heal Ninty. So, with a grunt, Samuel continued with the others.

The path began to grow more gnarled and rugged, eventually looking as if it had been completely consumed by nature. The stones on the ground were uncomfortable against Samuel's feet, even with the hard leather boots providing a defense against their assault. The ground grew steep and flat at random intervals, and was littered with a combination of roots and stone. Despite this, Samuel persisted - after all, diligence is a virtue, and giving up when things became tough was simply childish. That didn't mean he was any less afraid when a hoarse "CRAWK" resounded from above. Samuel didn't have time to turn before the flapping of wings revealed the sound's origin - A raven, presumably multiple if the number of wings were anything to be sure. Some of the others turned to look at the noise, and showed no large response, allowing Samuel to relax further. If it was a monster, they would be reaching for their weapons. Samuel himself didn't look - he had seen enough birds in his life, and he didn't want to seem like the kind of guy that was scared of everything. Following the difficult path with a new sense of vigor, Samuel continued to follow the group, only slightly behind them.

Super Invincible Max God Century Robo: Giga Assault Hell Smasher Promethion - A Combining Mecha RPG

Victor Lewis

Appearance

Name: Victor Lewis

Gender: Male

Age: 22

Job: MAX FIRE Pilot

Personality: Victor is extremely egotistical and narcissistic, constantly exaggerating his feats and accomplishments and bragging, especially when women are involved. Hell, he seems to be after women constantly - although, this rarely works out in his favor, usually resulting in him getting charged with sexual harassment or getting beat up. His therapist thought that his perversion was somehow related to his mother's death, but Victor was disgusted by this suggestion. He does his best to keep situations light and jovial, even in dire situations that could mean life or death. Victor constantly seeks the approval of others, and that was the main reason he decided to become the pilot of the GAHS-CM-4. His cocky attitude isn't entirely for show - he is very skilled at piloting his mech, even when considering the fact that he has had very little time to get used to the controls. Victor has a carefree attitude, and adventurous spirit, and despite what he says, a caring heart. He would rather take a hit than let someone else take one, and will do his best to protect the people that acknowledge him.

Victors cockiness is actually an act, which he uses in order to hide his insecurities. He is terrified of being a pilot, and only became one so people would respect him. Victor has an intense fear of failure, and will go to nearly any length besides harming others in order to win. Additionally, he suffers Monophobia, which he developed through years of isolation and abuse. When alone, he will be extremely meek, and lack the usual hotheadedness of his 'Social Personality'. Finally, he vehemently disapproves of drugs, and will refuse to even drink or smoke.

Skills: Victor is extremely proficient at handling traumatic situations, almost to a disturbing degree. Along with this, he is above average physically, and can withstand physical stresses better than most.

Short Bio: Born to a poor Cuban family in Chicago, Victor lived a very depressing childhood. His mother, a woman who was struggling with a meth addiction, died when he was only 6 years old, and ever since then, his father rapidly grew more and more abusive. Being hit for no reason whatsoever and going days without food was a common occurrence during his developing years, but Victor never spoke out against the abuse. He, like many other victims of abuse, was simply too afraid of voicing his suffering, and decided to suffer the abuse instead. Despite the malnutrition, Victor rapidly grew to be quite physically fit, and at the age of 15, the physical abuse stopped. Instead, emotional and mental abuse took it's place. Victor was forced to stay in his small room for days at a time, and without any form of entertainment during this period of isolation, Victor quickly developed his fear of being alone. To help him through the times of loneliness, Victor decided to exercise and train his body, only increasing the fitness of his body. By the time he was 17, he was extremely popular at his high school and local gym, had decent grades, and even had a somewhat stable job. All of that only added onto the shock the people in his communities felt when, on a warm June night, him and his father were caught in a gruesome car accident, leaving Victor orphaned.

The accident itself was thought to be caused from Victor's father, the driver, being heavily intoxicated, and Victor luckily escaped with light wounds. In actuality, Victor's father, driving his son home after he had gotten in a brawl at the school, told him that the second they got home, Victor would be spending the next three days in his room. Victor, wallowing in a chemical cocktail or testosterone and adrenaline, began to assault his father, slapping and punching from the rear seat. This distracted his father enough to cause the pair to slam directly into a lamppost. The father, having chosen to not wear a seat belt, died after being thrown through the windshield, and hitting the metal pole face first. Victor survived with only light bruising and a sprained knee. Until he graduated school a year later, Victor had to see a psychologist on a bi-weekly basis, and suffered extreme emotional stress having taken a human life. Eventually he graduated and, no longer being cared for by the state, found a cheap apartment and continued to work at his dead-end job. Victor's personality appeared to have returned, but Victor still struggled with the scars left by his father's abuse and death. The next 4 years were a blur, composed of hooking up with random women and dreading the nights he was forced to work the graveyard shift alone. Finally, on a night of introspection in front of a cash register, Victor realized that his life would remain like this if he didn't do something about it - that was when he decided to leave the state, in search of greener pastures.

The next 3 months were spent driving around the US, surviving off of odd jobs that he found along the way. Finally, Victor stumbled upon it - a government agency known as MAX FIRE. It was here that, upon seeing the various benefits, Victor applied for a position as a janitor. While the ridicule of being a janitor at 22 was somewhat disheartening, the truly horrible occurred only a month into his employment there - the first attack. A creature of gargantuan size attacked a city, killing many innocent people. It was eventually taken out after being chased several blocks, but the damage was irreversible. Fear consumed Victor, but even more so, anger. The strong were trying to bully the weak, and that was an act that was truly despicable. This was when Victor decided to make a difference and help people for once. Sneaking into the pilot candidate pool, Victor was successfully able to prove his skill at piloting, and when it was discovered he snuck in, he was offered two choices: Become the pilot of the fourth component, or face life imprisonment for sneaking into government facilities. Victor chose the former, becoming the pilot of 'Sharur'.

Forgotten Heroes: Marvel's Underdogs

I'm best friends with a clown, I'm all good!

Forgotten Heroes: Marvel's Underdogs

Name: Justice Enforcement Droid, or JED for short

Alias: Jackpot Justice

Age: Has existed for a few million years, but has only been active for 7 month.

Gender: N/A, but has decided to refer to itself as a male.

Appearance

JED Stands at an impressive 7 feet tall, weighs 2500 lbs, and is appears to be made entirely of a strange crystalline substance that is foreign to earth. After several tests, Rogue X has discovered that the substance is about half as strong as steel, but far less heavy. JED does not wear clothes since very little could actually fit his strange anatomy, and is covered in edges that, while not very sharp, could easily hurt someone if they were stabbed. JED, with his shape shifting abilities, is capable of shifting his general structure, but not changing colors or his total mass. This allows him to create manipulators, like hands, that allow him to interact with objects. He speaks in a deep, booming voice that demands attention, which sounds almost exactly like a human besides an electronic undertone that someone would expect of a robot. Has a slight Japanese accent, despite never interacting with a person from Japan. The most distracting feature, however, is the bright red 'eye' that is in the middle of JED's face. This is his core, and if destroyed, he is killed unless it can be repaired. This core is JED's only method of sight, and is also the place he charges his batteries.

Personality Strengths:
- Strong Will - JED is, above all else, strong willed. He will spare no expense in the pursuit of justice, and will not let anything stop him. If he can will his way through something, he'll do it to uphold justice.

- Inspirational - JED was designed to be an officer unit on his home planet, and was made to inspire his comrades to fight for truth, the weak, and Justice. This was also programmed to be experienced constantly by him, and that is why he is able to rise up even after having his body heavily damaged.

- Helpful - Whether he was programmed that way or years of deactivation has altered his way of thinking, JED is always willing to pick up the slack. Whether it's putting in time doing community service so someone can relax or doing taxes, JED will help anyone if they ask politely.

- Fun - JED is just fun to be around. With his over-the-top personality and his occasional joke, JED could make most people smile easily. He is especially good with children, and as long as no one is doing anything illegal, he's great at a party.

Personality Flaws:
- Doesn't Discriminate - It doesn't matter if you are a murderous monster who kills for fun, or a little girl trying to jaywalk. JED was built to uphold the law, and will do so without regard to age, gender, or crime. Expect him to force people to pick up their litter or hold a person down until a police officer excuses their actions. No matter how much Rogue X has messed with his core, this programming is impossible to alter.

- No One is Over the Law - Not even JED. JED will refuse to kill a person, no matter how much of a monster they are. He is willing to fight and even seriously injure, as he believes a police officer would do the same, but murder is far too much. Additionally, JED will never steal or commit even the smallest of crimes (Except public indecency, since he can't find any clothes that fit him).

- Lack of Understanding Empathy - It's hard to tell what JED is thinking since he lacks traditional facial cues and body language, and his strange anatomy makes him avoided by most. This goes both ways, however - JED can't understand human body language or facial features, believing 'they all look the same'. While JED can understand vocal tones and speech perfectly, his lack of understanding on human behaviors makes him less than perfect at persuasion.

- Nosy - Will try and pry into other people's business no matter the situation, whether because he wants to help or because he thinks they may be criminals. Expect him to know many personal facts about different people. At the very least, he'll know when your birthday is...

Powers:
Robotic Physiology - JED does not need food or water to survive, and can theoretically be active constantly. Additionally, typical poisons and substances that would harm a biological creature would pose no problem towards JED. However, JED does require electricity to remain active. His total battery is 15 kilowatts, and he requires 1.875 kilowatts hourly in order to remain active, but exerting himself can raise this up to 3 kilowatts an hour (8 hours active, 5 hours max when exerting himself). This means, should he be stuck in a location for a long period of time without access to electricity, he would be rendered powerless.

The core can be used as a solar panel, but due to the differences between the sun and his home-world's star, it would take him a month to completely fill his battery. JED has a maximum lift of 1500 pounds, can move at a maximum speed of 10 mph, cannot jump, and is as durable as the material he is currently composed of (A crystalline material half as strong as steel). It should be noted he lacks the bonuses of a biological body (He can not enjoy pleasures like eating, he cannot grow stronger since he lacks muscles to train, etc). Refilling his battery completely takes 8 hours (16 if he remains active). It is possible that the using his battery more frequently will eventually increase the lifespan to former levels, but this is very unlikely. The only weak point on JED is the core, which is delicate and very difficult to repair.

Bodily control - JED is capable of minor shape shifting by temporarily weakening the molecular bonds between them, and shifting them into a new shape. He can manipulate his general structure to give himself hands, blades, or other weapons. He can even shoot parts of his body outwards as projectiles. However, all of these activities are strenuous, and shape shifting rapidly can easily drain his battery. Additionally, objects shot from his body can no longer be manipulated until they return to the body. JED can only make minor changes, like manipulating a limb. He can't completely change his structure, and some materials are too strong to be changed swiftly, or even at all (Adamantium, Vibranium, etc).

Reconstruction - JED is capable of reconstructing his body using the materials around him. His body will slowly cause stone, dirt, or anything nearby to slowly gravitate towards his wounds, and reconstruct himself until he has a similar mass to what he once possessed. While this could be used to incorporate better materials into his body and make him more durable, it can only be done involuntarily - his body reconstructs itself with the nearest and easiest materials to move, and only does so while he is inactive. This means that it is impossible for JED to heal while active, and will almost always be weaker than he was before unless he has access to strong materials. Reconstruction takes 8 hours to repair a limb-worth of damage. Additionally, no matter what materials are present, it is impossible for JED alone to fix his core.

Major Skills:

Willpower: JED can resist most temptations as long as he has a reason to, and will go to many lengths to protect the weak. If someone is breaking the law or defacing justice, expect JED to be a bastion of willpower and determination with the mission of apprehending the criminal.

CQC: JED is proficient in all manners of Close Quarters Combat, and uses his shape shifting to create weaponry and restraints for opponents.

Inspiration: As noted in the personality section, JED is truly incredible at motivating people and raising their morale. Whether inspiring people to go after that promotion or motivating them to go that last mile in a fight, JED probably has a motivational speech for nearly any situation.

Minor Skills:

Chemistry: One of the things that JED was taught when first coming online was chemistry, which he has a fondness for. Of course, this is nowhere near as impressive as his love for Justice.

Gambling: Somewhat ironic considering some parts of the US outlaws it, JED loves to gamble. Or, more accurately, he loves the risk of gambling. As such, JED is somewhat proficient in most games seen at casinos. Of course, this does not mean he is better at luck-based games, which he seems to prefer. In fact, when creating his alias, he decided to combine the two things he liked the most.

Diligence: JED can spend hours on end doing some meaningless, boring task without stopping, almost certainly because of his motivation. This usually manifests itself in performing menial labor or community service, which is one of his hobbies.

Weapons: JED forms his own weaponry, usually using either a sharp blade to pierce and slash opponents or a blunt hammer-like tool. His third favorite tool is manacles, which he forms whenever a criminal is incapacitated.

Equipment: Lacking any form of employment outside of Rogue X, JED simply lacks the funds necessary to have any equipment.

History: JED was originally constructed by the Shakorin, a race of humanoids who resembled squids. JED was one of a millions, his model being used as enforcement droids. Thanks to the fact that the Shakorin sun released far more energy and was out far longer than the Earth's star, JED's were capable of being online nearly constantly, and had batteries that could last days in dark areas or during the night. Shakorin society relied heavily on solar energy, supplementing it with nuclear power during the night. Shakorins were never able to become multi-planetary, since they lacked nearby planets to colonize and they were incapable of FTL travel. As a result, overpopulation became an incredibly large issue, and space became the most valuable commodity. People began to live underground and in the oceans to create more living space, but eventually, tragedy struck - disease had always been rampant, but a virus quickly developed that quickly spread throughout most of the population. Unable to support itself and most workers already dead, Shakorin nuclear plants eventually had a meltdown, resulting in a sudden chain reaction or nuclear explosions all across the planet. The combine force successfully managed to destroy the planet, sending stone and materials all throughout space. Most of these materials managed to remain in the gravity of the planet, and would eventually reform into a rocky barren exoplanet. Some material escaped, however - including an inactive JED unit, one of the last ever made.

For the next 3 million years, the JED continued to drift through space, traveling throughout the milky way galaxy, ever increasing the distance between it and it's home world. Despite the vast time spent inactive, the JED remained relatively unaffected - it was sealed inside of an air tight container, made of the same crystalline substance, protecting the JED from stress and matter. The only thing that suffered was the battery - it had been charged before the destruction of the planet, and millennia of inactivity resulted in the battery's lifespan suffering. It was almost poetic - the sole survivor of his planet was left to drift through the endless void, unaware of the destruction of it's creators. However, after 3 million years of silence, a miracle occurred.

It was pure chance - any number of variables, a difference of only a few hundred miles could have resulted in JED passing by. Luckily, the stars seemed to be right. JED crash landed in Highlands, NJ, destroying a portion of the Twin Lights Lighthouse as it did so. The first respondents were local authorities, who came to investigate the large chunk of blue crystal. Prying open the hatch, JED was discovered, lying completely motionless and deactivated. It only took one thing - a Mr.Gordan Sellers, a rooky officer who showed up to investigate, reached out and touched the black orb residing in the middle of JED's face. Then, for the first time ever, the 3 million old robot awoke.

Looking back on it, things were pretty hilarious. A giant crystal monster being yelled at to 'stand down' by police, despite the robot not even knowing English. It wasn't until agents from the nearest organization, Rogue X, arrived that things finally cooled down. The agents were able to lead the passive Jed all the way to Brooklyn, NY, where they spent the next month teaching the robot English. Finally able to understand one another, JED revealed that he was completely unaware of his origin, having had his memory automatically wiped after the first thousand years of inactivity. JED was given refuge by Rogue X, and was offered electricity and safety. Eventually, however, JED's primary directive revealed itself - he began to question the laws of Earth. For the next 6 months, with little event, JED was taught extensively in law and other subjects, after demonstrating his desire to help uphold justice on earth. Finally, after Rogue X's arbitrary requirements were met, JED was ready to become a hero.

Other:
- Powers that work on inorganic materials can work on JED
- Was never offered to join a larger superhero organization due to both being found by Rogue X first and his... 'quirks' (He berated a child for 10 minutes after she littered, and then immediately chased a man 5 blocks when he jaywalked).
- Hobbies include gambling (usually with very little money that he ends up losing), community service, fighting crime, hanging out with friends, and playing with children.
