Closed RP between myself and Avanhelsing.

Seeking Male- Anti-Hero Crime Fighter RP

Just a few quick things:
-I'd prefer thread a thread based RP only
-About 3-7 paragraphs would be preferable
-I don't do mature sexual scenes, however am happy to do 18+ in every other sense (gore/ themes/ language) in fact I'd prefer if this RP was a little darker
-PM with any questions or interest.

So your character is a young, mysterious crime fighter. He has an arch enemy, he’s constantly hunted by the police, he’s all over the news and everyone is asking the same thing. Who is he? Well when he’s not fighting crime he’s actually a pretty normal guy and right now everything is going pretty well for him. That is until the day he runs into her. She’s just some ordinary girl, but she’s someone he finds himself wanting to spend more time with.

What he wasn’t prepared for was how hard being a crime fighter and having a kind of girlfriend would be. He struggles to separate his two identities around her and she finds herself struggling with feelings for whom she believes are two separate people. What will happen when the bad guys start putting two and two together?

So mostly I'm happy to leave his life up to you but I'd prefer something not too depressing or cliche, I'm willing to do late high school to early adulthood, which ever age interests you. The plot is fairly loose, but I have certain ideas/ story lines I'd like to follow if the opportunity arises, but nothing is really set in stone for now.

Avery simply looked at the boy suspiciously as he pulled out an iron axe. “Where did you get that?” She instantly accused. “You better not be cheating.” However she smiled eventually and rolled her eyes and shook her head. “Look, you’ve got the axe, so you go get started on a shelter and some equipment and supplies. I’m going to get some stone and maybe some coal so that we have light when night comes to keep the mobs away.” It would be a good day or two until they were ready to take on mobs at night, right now getting set up defensively was her main priority.

Avery still wasn’t sure how death worked in this game, but she wasn’t overly eager to find out. And with Rick’s pain sensor bugging out she wasn’t willing to risk it. “I’ll be back before dark.” She said hurriedly as she took off towards the nearby mountains. They weren’t too far, so she should be able get there, get the stone and get back before it got too dark. However she only got a sort way before stopping and turning back to look at the boy. “Any… try not to get into too much trouble okay?” Rick had always been a bit more of a risk taker than she had.

Avery was pretty happy with herself, even if she had cheated. Looking around the scenery from the top of the hill Avery took in the environment, judging if it was a good world seed or not. They had come from a fairly large plain to the south; she was struggling to make out where it ended and what lay beyond. Over the hill it led to a mountainous biome to the north that had a river running through it that could potentially lead to an ocean. There was a large forest to the east and hills and what looked like a ravine to the west.

“Looks like a fairly good area.” She said eventually, turning back to the plain they’d come from. “I wonder if there are villages and stuff… do you think we should try and set up a shelter or anything?” She had a quick glance at the hot bar. The food bar was there, still full for the moment. But she couldn’t see any animals for them to… oh god she was actually going to have to kill things… it was going to be a lot harder than on the computer. Wheat and a farm was first on her list.

It took a few hours, which didn’t surprise or worry Chase at all. He knew with the reception out here sometimes it can take phones a while before they got the message and then usually longer when they sent them there was also the chance that Carys was simply busy. So really a few hours was quite fast of a reply. The boy made a mental note to thank Ash later. Then again she did have an unfair advantage, being a girl and all. He shuddered to think one day she may come to him on boy advice. Hopefully she’d have the sense to ask Mason.

Quickly he shot off a reply, knowing full well he may get there before it did.

Cool :) I’ll be over in half an hour or so.

Hopefully he remembered where she lived, though it hadn't been that hard to get to from what he remembered. Worst case he could use his phone gps. The boy quickly got ready, having a quick shower and getting changed before he headed out to the shed. It had been a fairly quiet day, all things considered. He hadn't seen Mason or Ryan anywhere. Chances were they were just doing their own thing today, which was fine. They all needed a bit of me time every now and then. He pulled out a different bike to the one he’d dropped Carys off in, slightly bigger, more powerful and blue.

His personal favourite. Starting the thing up he quickly left the yard and was out onto the dirt road. Anyone could message him if they got too worried, he doubted it, but it was always a possibility. Plus Ash knew where he was going. Roughly thirty five minutes after sending the message he arrived at the house, having only gotten mildly lost. Luckily the town wasn’t really that big, so there weren’t many wrong places to go. Leaving the bike on the side of the road he made his way up to her house, remembering it from the other day.

He knocked tentatively, hoping he wasn’t intruding. He had been invited, but honestly he couldn’t remember the last time he’d actually had to knock on someone’s door and wait to be invited inside. It was strange what just became second nature and what seemed normal when you grew up with it. Maybe he should have brought something… like a house warming present or something. Oh well. Too late now.

“Limited edition! Now with real pain!” Avery joked back as she caught up to the boy and he took her hand and began leading her up one of the hills. “It’s certainly a different experience, having to walk around for yourself.” Avery agreed. “But I like that you don’t feel tired of fatigued or out of breath. Guess they chose to leave it out or maybe it was just too hard to simulate getting tired. Too bad this doesn’t count as exercise. They would have just solved the obesity problem.” She laughed. However suddenly the girl pulled away from him, darting forward as she began running.

“Race you to the top!” Avery called back over her shoulder. Now, as an observer someone might think that was unfair. However since Rick was on the field team Avery never took him on in a fair race. He simply knew how to run better than her. He had tried to explain it once, that there are better ways to run than others, but she never really got it. Plus his legs were longer than hers. Literally when they walked side by side one of his strides was two of hers. Here, without the fatigue she might actually have a shot at winning for real.

Sometimes he let her win and tried to pretend he hadn't done it on purpose, but she knew him way to well. She could always tell when he was lying, though the sentiment was not lost.

“Early release.” Avery replied casually. “Do you really think they’re gonna allow a game aimed at kids to shock people when they get hurt? I wouldn’t be surprised if they release a patch later that disables it. I mean I know they sell those shock games at hobby stores… but I think it’s different.” She sat down and watched as he played around with the settings, shrugging slightly at being unable to turn off the sensory setting. “Might just be a bug. Pretty sure you can report it when you go to log out.”

When the boy was done fixing his settings she stood as he reached out and touched her hand. It was so strange; it felt exactly like it would if he touched her in real life. How bizarre. The technology was certainly impressive. “So cool.” Avery agreed when he began touching her arm. It was strange, anyone else and she’d probably hit him. But she’d know Rick so long and trusted him so deeply she hardly had a second thought about it. She nodded excitedly at the suggestion of exploring. “We should probably leave some kind of parker around here to show us where the spawn point is…” She began absently but Rick was already off and she took off to catch up to him.

@Garth
The first thing she noticed was that the avatars were a lot… more organic looking compared to the original minecraft. They were rounder and looked more like people, probably to make the interface easier and more compatible with humans. After mucking around with the settings a little to make her avatar look more like her. Spawning in the world the first thing she noticed was that it looked like they had applied a shader patch to it, which she approved of. It felt a lot more organic, even if everything was oddly square.

Gonna take a while to get used to that, but she was glad they kept it. It wouldn’t have felt like minecraft without it. Avery winced as Rick suddenly spoke very loudly at her. “Yeah, I can hear you now. Too well. You’ll need to recalibrate your volume before you log in next time.” She said gently, still taking in the world around her, so pure and untouched. It was hard to think this was really… real. In a sense. When Rick told her he’d turned on the sensation settings Avery’s eyebrow arched and she turned to look at him with a smirk, walking up to the boy and hitting him, doing a quarter of a heart of damage. “Figure out what it does now?” She asked cheekily.

Don't Mine At Night

The girl shook her head slightly when he asked if she’d heard him. “You kinda just went limp and fell over. You’re lucky you didn’t hit your head.” Avery told him sternly. He could have gotten seriously hurt, great start for the product launch if some early releases put some kid in hospital. She pulled out the manual again and quickly loaded the game in; it took a few minutes to load so she took the time to get Rick ready for the in game experience. “I’m gonna give you the headset back and we’re gonna run a calibration okay?” She told him.

Plugging the device into the computer she launched the software and sent it into calibration mode, which was basically a lot of physical prompts so that it could accurately interpret the mental signals to physical actions in game. He could still hear and see her and he was still conscious as messages began appearing on the screen like ‘touch each finger to your thumb’, ‘raise left leg’, ‘raise right arm’, ‘count to ten’, etc. “Okay, I’m gonna leave you to get comfortable and finish the calibration on your own. When you’re down lie down and the game will ask if you want to launch it when it’s done installing, just use your hand to click yes and you should be sent into the game no problem.”

Standing Avery made her way out of his room and back to the living room where she collected her own system and moved back to her room where she began setting up her own system, softly singing a song as she did so. At this rate he should be in there by now and maybe get about ten minutes of game play or so before she got in. If she got in game and he wasn’t online Avery was going to assume Rick messed something up somehow and needed her help.

Don't Mine At Night

Avery was still reading through the instructions when she heard Rick.

"And this is how you must turn it on."

The girl looked up in alarm and was about to shout out a warning when he suddenly went limp and fell to the floor. She waited a few moments before pressing the log out/ off button and taking the headset off his face. "Are you crazy!" The girl snapped as she held the head gear away from him. "Don't you remember the ads for this thing? It literally cuts off your mind from your body and puts it in a virtual world. But it needs to be hooked up to a game server to operate. Otherwise all you're gonna see is black."

She rolled her eyes slightly and eventually handed it back to him hesitantly. “Come on, we’ll take it to your room and I’ll log you in okay? You got the internet and your computer set up didn’t you?” She asked as she took his box and head set and made her way towards his room. Admittedly her bed and her gaming laptop were the only things Avery had gotten around to setting up in her room. Mostly because she was playing games at night to wind down after some slightly stressful performances.
