@Carlyle Yes that's true. It might be a smoother process to simply open up an actual rp thread, instead of all these ooc threads. Rp threads have an IC, OOC and CHAR tab all wrapped up into one.

Calling All Heroes and Villains!

Ethan Smoke

Ethan Smoke

Masked Solaris | Villain | 23 | 5’9


_(Explicit)

Powers/Abilities: The Summoned Stars

Ethan has the ability to summon miniature suns, little glowing balls of gravity and heat. He is able to change the temperature of the star. Red stars can be touched. Yellow stars burn at the same temperature as fire. Blue stars are able to melt solid steel.

He is able to summon many small stars, or a few large stars. The stars can become as big as about six by six feet. He is able to summon these stars at his hands, feet, or around him, and then shoot them in any direction, straight or curved. If a red star were to be shot forward, it would have the same impact strength as a swinging metal bat.

Weaknesses:

He may use the stars as shields, however, electricity can pass through them. Powerful insulators from heat can also render his stars moot. Cold temperatures can make it harder for him to summon and sustain stars. So, placing him in a steel ice box can essentially render him useless.

Personality:
Haughty, smooth, aloof. All the traits of a likeable villain. He enjoys getting what he wants with a smile. He enjoys playing cat and mouse. He enjoys gaining and exercising his power. A bit of a negotiator, if there is something he wants, he'll sweet talk for hours to get it. At least, until he gets bored. Then he might try to intimidate. And, in rare cases, inflict enough pain to break someone, and take what he wanted in the first place.

Background:

Nova City, with its vast technological advances and pro-corporation ideologies often didn't have enough for government programs like child foster care systems. Ethan grew up in such a system, removed from his abusive biological parents only to end up in neglectful foster homes. He was bumped from one foster home to the next, becoming more dysfunctional and angry with every move.

One night, he was on the rooftops, like he normally was, staring up at the light-polluted sky. That night, he saw a shooting star. He made a wish that he would have the ability to change his destiny, and went to sleep. As he slept, he had a fever dream, and when he awoke, his room was on fire, alight with small stars coalescing about.

Everyone got out of the fire safely, himself included. It was chalked up to a freak accident, and he was moved to a new foster home. But this power started to allow him to push back. To fend for himself.

He ditched his foster home and lived on the streets for a bit. At least, until he did his first successful heist - a jewelry store. After that, he bought a shabby bachelor's apartment. Then, he would take on more daring heists, eventually making the news as the Masked Solaris. He bought a better apartment. He bought some men to work for him. He bought an office floor in a tower as his base of operations.

He continues his heists, his eyes on gaining the attention he was refused as a child.

Affiliations:

He runs the Solaris Gang, a small group of hired guns and informants that help Ethan keep his finger on the pulse of the city and the world at large. They also help find and assist in heists. They also identify potential hazards, like cops sniffing around his establishment or work.

Motivations: He is definitely motivated by power and money. Maybe a little notoriety. If he became the top wanted criminal, he'd be okay with that.

Base of Operations:

He operates the Solaris Gang on the 48th floor of the Arakana Tower in Nova City.

Public Perception:

He is definitely viewed as a menace. The handsome devil that would steal the ring off your finger. So far, he has stayed ahead of the police force. But his luck could change at any time.

Combat Style:

He definitely has an aggressive combat style. He tries to overwhelm and overpower, while keeping himself hard to hit.

ArrowFell: The Wizard Queen's Court

Ryllae's Abode, Odenfield

_{@Andre Valias}

---

'How exactly did you know I was from Ravenfell? I avoided mentioning it in my letter to His Grace.'

Anton

Ryllae nodded gracefully. ”This isn't the entirety of the Order of the Looking Glass. We have people in each hold, and watching the border. You could say we pride ourselves on our… Political knowledge.”

Standing in front of the fairy gate, the air grew suddenly tense.

'Not something I'd keep beneath my house.'

Sylrael

Ryllae gave an easing gesture towards Sylrael. ”It's entirely safe, I assure you.”

She then turned to Gervese. ”Keep watch on the cellar, please.”

Gervese glanced down and nodded, standing a little straighter in his position beside the gate.

Ryllae nodded back, before whispering to one of her butterflies. It fluttered from her hair, taking its perch atop the gate. Satisfied, Ryllae turned to Anton and his companions.

”The Seeds are through this gate. I will go and retrieve them. You are welcome to remain here, My Lord. However, I assure you, it's quite the view.”

With that said, Ryllae gently stooped and stepped into the fairy gate. There was a shimmering flash of light, and she disappeared. Now, if Anton were to follow, he would enter into a field on the other side. The skies overhead were shades of purple, with rolling clouds of lavender that swirled. The fields themselves rolled with a slight wind, illuminating white, even the meadow poppies, even the stalks of grass. The colors of white over purple immediately gave this place an otherworldly charm.

Poking up from the grass and glade were little yellow eyes and little wispy figures. Small shades. Though, they did nothing more than stare.

Ryllae moved at a steady pace to a small thicket, moving past glowing white trees to a small clearing where Feathered Nightmares roosted. The large birds stirred slightly at her approach, but besides that held their peace, staring curiously. She slipped past the birds, edging deeper into the crowd, until she came face to face with a blue-tailed Feathered Nightmare, larger than the rest.

”Valokein. (Welcome.)” The bird rumbled, its voice, like air hissing against metal, spoke.

”Zu'u lost bo fah nii. (I have come for it.)” Ryllae said in response.

The Feathered Nightmare nodded, before stepping back. in its nest where it had been roosting, there was a lack of eggs. Instead, there was small, wooden chest. Ryllae stared for a moment, before reaching down, picking up the chest. She procured a key from the folds of her cotton dress, opening the chest. Her face lit up with the luminescent colors of the Seeds glimmering within. She seemed to count them for a moment, before she looked up at the bird.

”Nox hi. (Thank you.)” She said.

The bird gave a low nod of its head. The Seeds had been acquired.

ArrowFell: The Wizard Queen's Court

So that's where we get it from-

ArrowFell: The Wizard Queen's Court

@HereComesTheSnow Ameri is actually pretty op.

@Andre Valias Haha, well I had to scratch my head for a second-

did not know about the fire honestly i thought the cities just kinda did that

@HereComesTheSnow

Yeah, I thought violent takeovers were just kinda an Arrowfellian thing-

ArrowFell: The Wizard Queen's Court

@The Otter The Queen does love him. //serious nod

@AWildSquirtle That sounds great, thanks for the head up!

ArrowFell: The Wizard Queen's Court

The biggest thing that happened was that a gala almost ended up in the execution of a Sev Willowsteel. And the northern foreigners Ravenfell want a piece of the Arrowfell pie. And the Wizard Queen went to Athius to tame a leviathan in perparation for an impending war....

Edit: Oh. And the fire. The Hathforth fire.
