All in a Day's Work: A Superhero RP

The day had been going rather well so far for one Ran Hoshigane, engineering student and sometimes vigilante. She had successfully moved into Greenfield for the strange congregation of heroes and villains, having checked into a hotel room. Money itself was no problem since she had several small-time patents out in the system such as nonflammable cotton and the automatic bottle opener due to her tendency to tinker about. Then she had a nice breakfast in an outdoor cafe, went shopping for a few materials for further inventions, and finally went inside a bank to withdraw her money. That was when things went horribly wrong.

The young inventor had been the next in line to be called, and thus it was when the robbery began by that rather hotheaded (pun not intended) hooligan and his band of cronies. She was rather irate for multiple reasons, such as unable to transform without people noticing in such a situation and having to wait longer than necessary to conclude her business and get home. Some of the things she bought were rather delicate and looked like it could sell for a pretty penny too. No, this wouldn't do at all. Seizing her chance while the guys on the inside were distracted by the loot, Ran palmed the fire extinguisher located underneath the teller's desk and crawled over to get closer to the villain. Then she silently let the thing rip and attempted to spray him with the iconic red foam flinging device. "Taste potassium bicarbonate, toasty!" The girl thought vindictively, making sure to try to liberally coat the guy as much as possible to hinder his attempts. Having only genius level intellect as her superpower, the girl simply did the most practical thing in her situation and improvised. "Who said you needed super strength or magic to be a hero anyways? Give me good old smarts any day of the week."

Nothing like a threat to bring a group together briefly. Yep yep.

But yeah, hopefully that wasn't too jerkish of me. The thing is like a komodo dragon fused with a hyper evolved ambush predator on steroids, so I hope it was logical that this would have happened with the clues I laid out and the fact that the situation was pretty ideal for it. ^^.

• Name: Ran Hoshigane/Mithril


• Age: 20


• Gender: Female


• Appearance: "Ready and armed!~"


• Personality: Possessing a special exuberance seen in people half her age, Ran is a girl with lots of energy to spare. A person who enjoys being physical, she learns better by doing than by sitting around. Enthusiastic and peppy, she does her best to cheer people up and bring positive energy to wherever she goes. Though easily excitable and rarely ever shy, she has a stubborn side concerning ideals such as fair play, honesty, and morals. Though ditzy, she is quite a bit sharper than she lets on and makes good use of her rather active imagination to get creative in all matters.


• Skills: Ran is rather good at cooking, drawing, and physical activities such as martial arts. She also has excellent hand eye coordination due to these activities and can speed-read. She's also rather good with electrical and mechanical appliances considering her power.


• Abilities: Ran is an Esper, or a person with heightened brain activities in certain areas. In her case, she gains schematics of various blackbox technologies that flashes into her head, allowing her an almost impossible affinity for creating inventions that is unable to recreated by all but similar geniuses. In Ran's case, she created biomechanical machines that she has dubbed Variable ARMs though she can also create various other futuristic gadgets and macguyver components together given enough time if not in her Suit.


• Equipment: Ran has access to the Variable Suit and its many attachments, the Variable ARMs (Armored Self Mechanisms). The Variable Suit is a skintight body armor that protects somewhat from small arms and steel blades while augmenting speed, strength, and reaction time above the regular human limit somewhat. Its true ability though is the ARMs, which can only be activated when connected to the Suit (unless certain failsafes are unlocked for certain people). This allows Ran to access several arm and leg attachments that either boost raw power and strength (Berserker), speed and reaction time (Shinobi), short term healing abilities (Medic) or give her long range capabilities (Arbalest ARMs). She's working on more at the moment for future applications of specific response situations. The downside to her versatile arsenal is that nothing can be worn over the Variable Suit and thus makes her rather squishy by anything that can plow through the defenses it has.


• Brief Backstory: Ran grew up as a third generation Japanese American in city of San Francisco, where she lived a rather ordinary life up until her junior year in high school, when she developed her Esper power [Blackbox]. Since then, she's been targeted by various people who wants to misuse that ability tucked away in her head and got so fed up with their attempts at brain-hijacking that she created the Variable ARMs to fight them off. One thing led to another and now she is a heroine fighting for Love and Justice.

Ambushed

Legendary. It was not a word to be taken lightly, especially in a world of Monster Hunters. Anything that could gain that title in a land where savage monsters could destroy kingdoms overnight would have to stand high above the rest of their brethren to be recognized as such. Legendary meant that the monster was a tyrant, ruling over all others with qualities that let it stand above the rest whether it be overwhelming power, keen intellect, frightening speed, or any combination of the above and even other qualities forgotten through the passage of time. In this case, the legend was all too real... and much closer than anyone would think.

In this case, the Dragon was so dangerous and elusive that no one knew what it quite looked like until it struck- and then there were no survivors to relate relevant information back of that horrible encounter. The King of the Mountain had chosen to step down from its throne to investigate its territory, and had found many individuals. On some instinctual level, it found that the tiny and soft two-legs were dangerous somehow, despite lacking fangs, claws, or even toughened hides. Yet the feeling persisted, egging on the King to destroy the usurpers while they were unwary and fighting among themselves. It was a powerful beast, but quite intelligent too. It was also rather close to its goal, and taking down any threats before it could assume its true power would be ideal. Thus, the tyrant struck now rather than later, so as to kill two birds with one stone: destroy possible threats to growth and possible food for said growth.

A fell wind began wafting in from higher up on the mountain as the ruler performed its preemptive strike. Concentrated blasts of miasma rained down like hail, impacting the ground and turning the place into a field of darkness as the contagions contained within writhed maliciously in the form of dark vapors. From the skies dropped a dark form, looking almost wholly alien from anyone's expectations of what a dragon should be. It was long and catlike, lacking eyes as its face was adorned with black carapace. What looked like a fur cape billowed about its shoulders, tipped with great points. Said cape was casting purple pollen about with its every movement, choking the formerly fresh air with its malicious byproduct. Crashing into the ground with enough force to shake the area, the fur broke apart with a cracking sound to reveal itself as wings, with great claws that smashed the ground near it, taking up a lot of space in the now much more crowded battlefield as it roared a challenge to the kingslayers. And then all hell broke loose as it shot a salvo of enormous high speed balls of poison everywhere.

Maou and Mayhem

"...So cute..." Ran was definitely amused and a more than a little interested at the shenanigans happening nearby, finding it to be a rather pleasant distraction from the forced dimensional kidnapping that had occurred to her and all the other people in the general vicinity. Walking near the group after the marshmallow hell and the cookie monster incident happened, the San Francisco native waited and then introduced herself to the individuals and the group at large. "Heya! Name's Ran Hoshigane!" The girl exuberantly stated, her good mood having been recharged by the cuteness and funniness that had transpired. "Are all you guys Maous too or is that just me?" She said with good humor, flashing her pearly whites at the group. Though a part of her was fishing for information too, since she was rather curious if they were all in the same boat or if everyone was different. "Cause I think I accepted my invitation by accident..." This time she was a bit more nervous due to having punched the accept button.

Meanwhile as the group was busy exploring the environment and interacting with each other, life in the castle stirred. A figure was then standing upon the battlements, looking at the faraway group with a knowing smile. Soon, they would come and then the various plans would be put into motion. The figure smirked, imagining just how the legions of Light would take it when they found out that quite a few Maou were born. Granted they were weak and helpless right now but with the right training... Turning away, the individual moved deeper into the castle in order to prepare the property for habitation. Yes, the Maous' legacies will continue upon this day and Darkness will return to the lands once more...

Ranma... killed exactly just one person and he came back to life anyways due to the guy being an immortal phoenix god. XD

Also cannot wait for you guys to encounter the dragon, it'll be a doozy.

Character Crossover Crisis City

I'm going to have to agree with Kaga on this, you should stick to your character choice. If I do let you switch to another character, that would be after a fairly long amount of time to show that you can handle said characters. If you can handle your current ones for one or two more challenges, I'll let you switch.

Maou and Mayhem

Yeah, it's still open. XD

The Mountain Trail With the Cat

The tiny Felyne pondered the new questions for a bit before nodding his head slowly. "Nnnyes... All Elder Dragons are indeed legendary... And all are considered the king of their territory. There is only one Elder Dragon in a specific region and thus the Legendary Dragon you seek should be this mysterious being camping out on top of the mountainyao..." The cat then cocked its head to one side before answering the second question. "Most Elder Dragons are weakest to the Dragon Elements, which I will assume you won't have. Though considering this particular breed utilizes pathogens and the dragons with the fire attribute are the ones least preyed on upon the mountain, I will guess it doesn't like heat all that much."

It was also at that particular moment that another cat related entity decided to make herself known and bounded from the lower forests. A red blur was briefly seen before a Neko-ken influenced Ranma Saotome launched herself at Saber's feet and was now doing a rather spot on imitation of a cat rubbing itself against its owner's legs and purring all the while. The Felyne just blinked for a moment at this before staring blandly at all the humans with a weird look in on his face as though he bit into a particularly bitter and distasteful fruit.. "..."

Forest Trail

The frilled dinosaur monsters would find that they were dealt a horrible hand this time about. Charging in at what they hoped to be an easy meal, the pack of carnivores found that they were slammed by something at least five times more potent than a Sonic Bomb, the local equivalent for sound based attacks. It was less a loud noise and more like a solid wall that crashed into them, scattering their ranks and all but deafening their ears. They were also off balanced and a majority had fainted, and in the case of some would likely receive semi-permanent damage to their hearing organs. The Great Jaggi, the mature male leader himself was repeatedly trying to stand up and kept smacking its head on anything nearby; trees, rock, ground, other Jaggis. Suffice to say, the things wouldn't bother Nonon for a good long while.

Other Mountain Trail

The Zinogre continued its mad rampage, finding the two legged beings to be most slippery and frustrating to hit. Roaring its displeasure helped seal its fate as the dark magic ball shot from the vampire flew straight into its mouth and burrowed deep in the softer flesh of its body unhindered by thick scales, furs, and bones. The thing took effect rather immediately as the azure lupine bulged grotesquely for a brief moment from the released energy and started rotting. Funnily enough, the black aura of the spell was warring against a miasmatic dark purple aura for a few moments before it quelled the other strange effect planted within the creature, the darker color snuffing out its lighter equivalent for domination, though the thing still contained the crazed violet orbs that was evidence of the Feral Wyvern Virus.

Otherwise, the one proud creature was now lacking quite a bit of its prized pelt and looking decidedly more undead as it became Sorin's thrall. With the path once more opened to the group, they would find upon traversing it that the larger group was visible from across a sizable distance of steep and unstable rocks, with the pathways twining close to each other here and there. Both paths would lead to the same place as it reached near the top of the peak, where a far off stone arch could be seen. The goal was close enough to be seen at the very least.

Maou and Mayhem

And... game start.

Rather excited now. XD
