Light of The Rebellion

Matias let out a loud, strained groan as his body was pulled forwards. His abdomen felt like someone had poured fresh lava right onto it.

"I would love to," he hissed, but I can't–!"

The van interrupted his thoughts, as did Iris calling out. He almost wanted to scream.

"Don't just sit there!" he barked at Scarlet. "Help me in there!! And get the others, they're just as screwed as I am!!"

"I... I don't even know what the hell happened."

The static seemed to have taken some effect on Matias regardless, because his lower half had a pins-and-needles type feeling that made it difficult to even think about moving. It was starting to spread, too. Just what he needed.

"Of course. ANOTHER idiot. Perfect."

From where he stood, he pointed his gun. He couldn't aim that well, however, due to the pain grabbing most of his brain's attention.

"Son of a... God... Who even is that?"

Matias was just getting his cheap thrill from the slaughter when everything suddenly happened at once. He hardly even had time to react. One second Bane was yelling, the other an explosion rang through his ears, and the other had him snagged from mid air by a sudden force. His heart skipped so many beats that it was a miracle that he didn't straight up die.

The current stinged him even with the quick reaction; it wasn't a complete electrocution, but it still hurt, and his hair was now on end. He laid still on the ground, staring up at the sky. From where he was, he caught a glimpse of a very distant wasp-like shape shooting through the stars like butter.

A snarl rumbled in his throat.

He sat up once it looked like everything was clear. His sight met his partners, who looked in pain. His blood went cold.

"Are you guys okay?" he called from where he was.

Lord, Matias thought to himself, there's a lot of them. They filled at least half of the horizon with their approach.

Their slow, slow approach.

Seeing them all as equally vulnerable, Matias lunged himself towards a random figure and started swinging. Whenever necessary, he shot at a few bold ones that tried to make a run for it. He tried to limit his shooting, however; ammo was expensive, after all.

Those that weren't downed by him were easily torn through by his teammates. A few flopped over seemingly at random, bullet holes staining the back of their hoods. Matias assumed it was misfire on part of the puritans, but none seemed to have guns. No matter; a dead puritan is the only good one, so he continued fending off against what he could.

Light of The Rebellion: Character Art

Literally already posted these on the Chara thread of the roleplay but I'm putting em here too cuz why not. Here

Matias (+ info)

Your titular grumpy punk guy. One of my oldest characters, he's almost 4 at this point. A human stuck in a group of supernatural beings trying to extract justice in a corrupt techy society that pretty much wants said beings dead :D

Oleander (+info)

Moth, not necessarily man. They're originally a Fortnite fan character but I made them original for the roleplay lol. They're a loner with a strong bias against humans due to perceiving them as naturally destructive beings. Fun stuff like that 🤗

Light of The Rebellion is a 1×1 cyberpunk rebellion RP I'm doing with MegaraFoxfire, you can check it out here if ya want

Matias shut his eyes tightly and pursed his lips with equal force. His eyes fluttered open, but his mouth remained in its current state for a few more moments. Looking back, he caught a glimpse of his partners preparing for the incoming encounter and sucked air between his teeth.

"Of all times to come... Christ."

His hand met his holster for the umpteenth time tonight. The pistol's grip had matched his body temperature at this point. Hand ready to draw, he met Dante and Bane outside. He stared off into the distance, looking for any heads to shoot.

the alphabet game. lol

With a nod, Matias replied, "Will do."

He took his own section of the barrier by one of the entrances. He had to admit that he wasn't the most technologically competent person in the world, but he knew some things. He crouched, looking around the thick, riveted ring for a button or some other kind of activator. Before he could think about tearing his hair out, however, the boss's voice drew his attention.

"Ah?"

He stared into the silver eyes for a few short moments, blinking before looking to his side.

"Yeah, I'm fine. That idiot didn't really get to hurt me. I'm highly suspecting we'll be seeing them again though..."

He looked back at the barrier output.

"You scared them off pretty well though, so I'm not too worried. Thanks for that."

He smiled softly, but still facing away from the boss. It'd be embarrassing to see after all.

"Anyway... How do you set this up? I don't want to press the wrong button or something."
