Its tough being part of an Evil Organization

this sounds hilarious

q: is there a head honcho evil overlord or is it more of a council of evil oligarchs? are you planning for them to be pc or npc? can we expect to see heroes mucking up our missions? is the name of the organization E.V.I.L. (every villain is lemons)?

that is all for now

here's a thing

character templates

you have the choice between fortuna or human. multiple characters are a possibility, especially if you choose to be both halves of a human/fortuna alliance

Fortuna Template

The Fortuna are not living creatures, technically, but a collection of twenty-two fundamental concepts that have taken on a semblance of humanity due to an odd quirk of the universe's insistence on balance. Although the Fortuna's history goes back as far as history itself, they were officially codified and given names in the medieval age--what we know now as Tarot. The Fortuna now compete for the opportunity to have their influence raised above their peers and become the reigning god of this universe.

Name: Many Fortuna have given names that differ from their respective Tarot. Given their... eccentricities... however, these names tend to be something like "whatever sounded appropriate at the time."

Tarot: You've got 22 choices. No repeats!

Allied: Every Fortuna needs a human to ally with. However! There's no need to fill this out immediately, unless you intend to be Allied right at the start. This field can be properly filled in after the RP has started and Alliances have formed. You may be allied with your own human character, someone else's human character (everybody make sure everyone agrees to it!), or even an NPC if need be.

Appearance: Written or illustrated, I'm not picky. As Fortuna have selective visibility to normals, it's not necessary to have a human appearance, though many tend toward a humanoid form for convenience (you try operating human technology as an adorable blue-furred corgi).

Goal: As the physical embodiement of a concept, all Fortuna have a very definite idea of what they think the world needs, and a one-track mind for acheiving it. Feel free to think big here: this field represents what your character would do if they were literally the ultimate authority over the universe, and will be common knowledge to your fellow Fortuna. On a smaller scale, Fortuna tend to gravitate toward acting in support of this goal wherever possible; a Fortuna whose ultimate goal is to wipe out the world and start over with a clean slate, for example, might find herself tending to encourage revolution (especially of the sudden or violent variety).

Aura: One quirk of being an immortal concept shaped like a person is that a Fortuna's mere presence is an influence on the world around her. Explain what sort of fortune your character tends to herald.

Other: Everything else you'd like us to hear, including but not limited to: fixations, rivalries, anecdotes, etc.

Human Template

The humans of Hundreds City are a diverse lot. The city, a sprawling metropolis located in the vaguest part of America, attracts individuals from all over the world and typically ranks among the most populous cities on the planet. As a result, there really is no "typical" citizen here; Hundreds come from every kind of background imagineable, and are employed in occupations as diverse as tattoo artists, dancers, university professors, to baristas and waiters. If you can make it here, you can make it anywhere.

Name: This should require less explanation than the Fortuna template.

Allied: Not every human needs to be allied with a Fortuna, and if this is the case just use N/A. You may be allied with your own Fortuna character, or someone else's Fortuna character (assuming everyone agrees to it!). NPC Fortuna may be considered in the future.

Boon: For allied humans. Receiving a boon from a Fortuna allows one to accomplish any number of impossible feats. A boon may be as simple and direct as the ability to fire energy blasts, or it could be as cunning as the ability to read minds. This boon is yours as long as you hold your card, and is generally activated through this card (i.e. firing an energy blast by aiming your card at the target).

Appearance: I think we all know more or less what a human looks like. Illustration or written, I am not picky.

Goals & Motivations: Unlike Fortuna, not all humans have firm goals and a one track mind. Nonetheless, describe what motivates your character, or where they see themselves in five years; or if they're an immigrant to Hundreds City, their reasons for relocating.

Other: Everything else you'd like us to hear, including but not limited to: fixations, rivalries, anecdotes, etc.

Skeptical, are you? Simple scraps of cardboard, you're thinking. Well, I tell you the future can be known! My predictions never fail! And I predict for you a most interesting future, indeed. Look, look at this. It is Death. No, don't give me that look. It's not what you're thinking. You're not going to die, probably. Possibly. I give it fifty fifty odds. No, this is just an ending, but where there is an ending is a new beginning and I tell you truly something is beginning. Something big. Look here, it is The Tower. What does it mean? Well, anyone else would tell you calamity; a warning; chaos in your future. Well those people are hacks. You hear me? Hacks! I will tell you what the future truly holds, and it is this: the time has come for the Game to begin anew. You're giving me that look again. It'll make sense soon, I promise. In the mean time, I suggest investing in a good bulletproof vest.

That'll be twenty dollars.

let the game begin

Fateful Spread: basically Highlander with a tarot theme. Welcome, ladies and gents and nonbinnies, to another certified Marshmellow RP (c). Today's theme is tarot cards.

It's been a long time since the Fortuna last played their Game. Theirs is a Game not for fun or mere material wealth, but for the very fate of the universe itself. Having chosen the site of their Game, the diverse Hundreds City, the spirits of the tarot have dispersed to begin the preliminary stages of the Game. The rules are simple:

1. In order to participate, a Fortuna must be allied with one and only one human.

2. To ally with a human, a Fortuna must offer it a boon in the form of a magical card.

3. A Fortuna is not required to inform an Ally of any particular details of the Game, however neither is she barred from doing so.

4. If an Ally loses its card, the allied Fortuna has lost the Game.

5. A Fortuna that has lost the Game may continue to participate in an advisory fashion.

6. The last Fortuna with an Ally is the victor.

7. The victor will reign over the world as the major tarot influence until the next Game.

With their eyes on the ultimate prize of unmatched influence over the world of humans, the Fortuna now scatter to seek out suitable Allies. The fate of the world hangs in the balance as twenty-two ethereal beings search for their champions...

The Demon Hunters' Academy

if you've ever wondered what darius looks like in a suit--and i know you haven't--well now you know

The Demon Hunters' Academy

"Alright then." Darius broke the silence that had fallen over the party after his suggestion. Having heard only one assent, he decided that was good enough for now.

"All those that want to meet, I'll be in the cafeteria." It was a large space, it was less destroyed than the rest of the academy, and it was far from the walls. It would be a good spot to plan their next move, and keeping all of this away from the dorms seemed like a good idea. "We'll start in an hour. If you have things to do before then, or just need to get your thoughts in order, you've got time."

With that, Darius buckled his sword into its sheath--little more than a leather strap really, given the irregular shape of the blade--and started in the direction of the cafeteria. Oh, if only there hadn't been a massive attack on the school mere hours ago, he could have set up a powerpoint for the occasion; any presentation is improved with a good pie chart. Unfortunately, that seemed to be out of the question right now, given the unreliability of the power around here and the lack of a projector. Maybe next time.

He left the courtyard to the few students that remained.

I think Eika should call for an intervention so everyone can talk about their feelings.

"Perhaps you should join us in the dorms, it'd definitely be safer than hanging out inside the school buildings, though I won't blame you if you'd rather be alone."

Darius had taken to leaning on his sword in the aftermath of the not-battle. Though certainly there would be a debriefing later, he hadn't expected the emotionless invitation. Of course he'd considered taking to the dorms at some point, though whether he would or not was still up in the air. She didn't need to invite him... wait. What if she was flirting with him? That was even almost a smile right there! Yes, the hallway would make for adequate sleeping arrangements for tonight.

Lost in thought as he was, Darius found himself a bit taken aback by the sudden appearance of Hunter pointing accusingly at him. For some people, this might be cause for anger and argument. Others might tend to get away from the situation as quickly as possible, or to shut down in the face of social danger. Darius was the last; it was his habit to passively ride out the storm. He watched Hunter through bored-looking eyes as the dressing-down continued.

Eventually the sniper was finished, and after another short speech he'd turned and left the courtyard.

An awkward silence prevailed in the courtyard for a moment, before Jace made his own closing remarks and left. Darius turned his eyes back to what was left of the students gathered in the courtyard and He cocked his head. "Williams and Stone seem a bit stressed at the moment, and it seems Eindz is taking care of Belladonna right now," he said. "Is everyone else available for a team meeting? It would be in our best interests to work out what we all know about what is going on right now." There were probably a lot of bad assumptions flying around right now. At the very least he needed to disseminate his own observations of the situation; and if the others had their own observations, he could add those pieces to the puzzle. "Although--it would probably be best to have such a meeting somewhere indoors, or at least away from the gate."
