15 Amadeus Cho Chaotic Neutral
“I'm the smart guy.”

[ ߜ ] O R I G I N


In ancient times, Zeus, king of the Olympian gods, bore a child with Alcmena. His name was Hercules. The child's Godly heritage granted him superhuman strength, something he demonstrated before he was even one year old by strangling two snakes whom the Goddess Hera had sent after him. He completed many labors during his lifetime, until his death at the hands of the centaur Nessus. Upon his death he was resurrected by Zeus, who brought him to Olympus where he settled into his true place as a God of Olympus.

Thousands of years later, Hercules found himself banished from Olympus. Seeking direction, he turned towards Athena, who told him of a young man of great importance.

That "man", was Amadeus Cho.

Amadeus was born to Philip and Helen Cho, two immigrants who had moved to America from South Korea. As a result of their shared love for historical names, Amadeus was named after the famous composer Mozart, while his sister Madame Curie Cho, Maddy for short, was named after the physicist Marie Curie. The Cho's raised their children in the small town of Tucson, Arizona, where Amadeus discovered from an early age that he was different from his peers at school. During kindergarten he was already reading at a fifth grade level, and by the time he was starting high school, Amadeus was taking theoretical physics college courses in his spare time. Needless to say, he was a genius.

This statement was proved on his 15th birthday when he decided to enter an online competition for young geniuses, run by a soap corporation named Excello. Winning the $5000 first prize was child's play for Amadeus, with Amadeus Cho being dubbed the Mastermind Excello, as well as earning the title of the 7th smartest person on the planet. Little did he know that winning would have dramatic ramifications on the rest of his life. He returned home just in time to see his house explode, killing his family. Or so he thought.

After being taken in by S.H.I.E.L.D, Amadeus discovered that while his parents could be accounted for, the remains of his younger sister, Maddy, had not been found. Realizing that she was still alive out there somewhere, as well as discovering that S.H.I.E.L.D. was planning on using his mind as a tool for coordinating all of their militaristic plans, Amadeus escaped custody. The teenager went on the run, adopting a coyote pup along the way that he later named Kirby, short for Kerberos.

It was during this time that he came upon Hercules, who ended up defending him from a group of AIM Agents, after the organisation had heard that S.H.I.E.L.D. was after him. Hercules became the boy's partner and guardian, while the two traveled and tried to find Maddy.

Their first adventure started after the two heroes came across a hunting party of Amazons. The group had traveled all the way from the island of Themyscira, after their home was attacked by a fearsome and unruly beast. The two agreed to help in their hunt of the beast, although soon it came to light that the leader of the party, Artume, was actually after an object called the Omphalos, with the beast attack being orchestrated by her so that she could get permission to leave the island. She aimed to use it to become the world's dominant force, bringing it to the new Axis Mundi, Washington, D.C. Thankfully with the help of Artune's former second-in-command, Delphyne Gorgon, they managed to stop her plight for power. During their time together, both Amadeus and Delphyne developed a mutual attraction for one another, ending their encounter with a kiss before Delphyne was forced to return to Themyscira with the rest of the Amazons.

Afterwards, Hercules and Amadeus, with pup in tow, continued on with their search, renting out an RV and travelling across the United States looking for clues relating to Maddy's location.

Hercules: Amadeus' best friend and the brawn to his brains. Hercules acts as Amadeus' partner, with the two travelling across the world adventuring together. He seeks to steer Amadeus on a more righteous path, although this isn't always the case, especially since he tends to succumb to his hobbies of drinking and seducing beautiful people.

Kerberos: Kerby for short. Kerberos is a young coyote pup that Amadeus picked up off of the side of the road after its mother had been hit and killed by a car.

Agent Sexton: The mysterious FBI Agent who contacted Amadeus directly before he had been picked up by S.H.I.E.L.D.

Wonder Woman:

Delphyne Gorgon: A young descendant of the original Gorgon sisters who were cursed by Athena, Delphyne is a member of the Amazons of Themyscira. A deadly warrior, she hopes to someday follow in the footsteps of her idol, Wonder Woman.

Michael Holt: Mister Terrific, as well as another super smart guy.

S.H.I.E.L.D: Amadeus has been a fugitive of the organization for months since fleeing their custody.

Ares: The Olympian God of War, Ares has "beef" against Hercules due to him killing some of his precious birds or something. Truth be told, Amadeus wasn't exactly paying attention when Hercules told him of the rivalry, with him being too busy running for his life.

Vali Halfling: The demi-god son of the Asgardian Loki, Vali and Amadeus have a bitter rivalry.

Pythagoras Dupree: The mysterious man rumoured to have been behind the Excello competition, as well as the death of Amadeus' parents.

Cheetah: While primarily a villain of Wonder Woman, Cho ended up having to flee her himself when Hercules tried and failed to seduce her.

Ask and I shall deliver
Nemo.

Honestly Rahul hadn’t been too sure what to expect for the group’s reunion. He’d been mulling over the possible scenarios in his head for the past couple of days as the Nautilus made its way to Gibraltar. Most of which seemed rather sombre, with Rahul picturing the meeting to be one of reflection and remembrance of the ones that they had to leave behind in the field. He’d even imagined it being simply one of business; essentially a regular briefing like from the days of old. What he hadn’t pictured however was his old teammates returning with barrels of alcohol!

Maybe save some for after the war, eh Wilhelm?” Captain Nemo joked charismatically, as he approached his old friend, holding out his hand in front of him for him to shake. "Good to see you, old friend!"

The captain was currently wearing his usual uniform, which largely resembled that which he had warn in his previous years during Overwatch. Unlike Reinhardt, Rahul tended not to wear his suit unless it was absolutely necessary. It was an experimental prototype after all, and he did not want to accidentally incapacitate it before even going into combat. While he’d probably be able to fend for himself if that happened, he would be of absolutely no use to his team, which was the most crucial thing.

Instead, various members of his crew had arrived at the Watchpoint alongside him, dragging along a huge storage container containing everything he would need. As well as that, they were helping to refurbish the outpost with more weaponry and security, at the personal request of Winston himself.

Rahul was about to approach the scientist himself to inform him that his men were in position, when he caught sight of the man relaxing on the couch. Seeing Morrison wearing that ridiculous costume finally confirmed the theories Nemo had been conducting in his head ever since his sources had first spotted the vigilante, Soldier 76. As such, the revelation wasn’t all too much of a surprise, so instead of opening his mouth in disbelief, he simply let out a laugh.

Hah! I knew that had to be you Morrison!” He jested, all the while taking in the all so familiar surroundings around him. “I must ask though, what’s with your newfound love of the number 76? Your lucky number perhaps?
@Famotill Still here, just having an extremely busy few days! Should have more time to post either tomorrow or friday? Apologies for not saying anything sooner!

As soon as Hulkling spoke, the quinjet lurched and shook once more. A sound of screeching metal could be heard as a large panel of the ship’s ceiling was ripped clean off, revealing probably one of the ugliest creatures America had ever seen in her life. Despite her years of travelling the multiverse, America had never actually come into contact with a dinosaur before. That is if you didn’t count Reptil. Despite the emotional turmoil of what today’s mission brought, she was actually excited to have a chance to punch one right in the face. It would seem that that chance would come earlier than expect.

She shot up instantly, soaring straight into the dinosaur and sending her fist right into its beak. The force was enough to send the creature flying. America chased after it out into the sky above the quinjet, intent on following through with her attacked. That was however until she managed to get a good look around. The air around her was filled to the brim with pterodactyls, all of which were now staring directly at her. Furrowing her brow and cracking her knuckles, she grimaced. Time to get to work.

After pummelling several dinosaurs out of the sky, America was happy to see that the other two fliers from her merry team had joined her in the skies, with Reptil now sporting a set of dark red pterodatle wings which mirrored their attackers. With a smile, she continued, diving forwards fists first, tearing through the dinosaurs around her.

“Just be thankful we’re not going up against a swarm of Quetzalcoatlus’s” Reptil remarked, swooping down to land onto the roof of the quinjet, nearby to where she was now hovering. As he landed, his wings began to shrink as his body grew to regain the mass his transformation had distributed elsewhere. His arms however had now changed into a pair of red scaly clawed talons, which reached out in front of him and slashed at a pterodactyl that had been heading towards America, causing it to drop awkwardly out of the sky.

Quetzalcola-what?” America questioned, as she sent her foot into the wings of another attacker.

“Trust me, you don’t want to know!” Came his reply, as Humberto took to the air once more, diving into a pterodactyl.

You thinking Stegron?” America asked as she swung her arm around to retaliate against another attacker.

“Wouldn’t surprise me!”

As America punched her way through the swarm, she began to formulate a plan of action in her head. Before she could put anything into words however, her communicator erupted into life, with Kate’s voice filling her ears.

“I get that you’re having the time of your life up there, but I’m pretty sure I can’t keep this quinjet flying for much longer!”

At once, America turned her attention to Hulkling. “You heard the woman! We need to get her out of there!
@Famotill Should i wait until you send out the PMs before posting?
@Zelosse This help?
Well, you could always just have an easy win at STAR labs? :P Or arrive there to find her already gone? That way t2wave could possibly continue if they ever wish to try and rejoin?

At first the “No hospitals” comment completely confused Tyrus, with his face clearly mirroring this feeling. Yet after a couple of seconds of blank staring, along with a series of mental questions, the young Robin finally got his head around to why hospitals probably weren’t the greatest ideas in their line of “work”. All you had to do to figure that out was to look at the masks covering each other’s faces. Hospitals meant unmasking. Losing one’s mask was probably the worst thing that could happen to vigilantes, minus getting killed or severely beaten that is. Losing your mask meant the bad guys would know who you are, who your family are, as well as everything that was precious to you. Hospitals meant unmasking.

Nodding, Tyrus backed away slightly, intent on agreeing with her decision of not going to the hospital. Still though, he wasn’t convinced that her wound was “only a graze”, especially given the clumsily way she got onto her feet. Despite this though, Tyrus had to say he was impressed. He didn’t know many people outside of action films who could keep on going right after getting shot. He decided to mention this to her as she was wrapping her arm with some gauze, but before he even said a word, his invitation to help arrived.

Oh, yeah! Of course, right away.” He replied maybe too eagerly as wannabe punk kid stepped forward to help her with tying her bandage.

"Can you take me to Grant's Gym? I think the help I need is there."

The second request threw him slightly. Part of his him wished to decline. Beating that group of moronic thugs before wasn’t going to change the situation here in Devil’s Square one bit. The Riddler and Cluemaster were going to tear this place apart if no one managed to stop them. He had to stay and help! Yet he knew that if he did, he wouldn’t be able to live with himself if anything happened to the purple clad girl, whatever he name was. Besides, Devil’s Square wasn’t going anywhere! What harm could one little detour be?

That’s that dive in Midtown right?” Tyrus asked as he finished up his work on the gauze, before stepping towards the edge of the rooftop and glancing around, getting an idea of their current location. “Piece of cake.

Finding his bearings, a smile etched into his face slightly as he spotted a relatively tall building in the direction they were to be heading, that was luckily in good grappling distance. However, before he could throw out his billy club, his mind flashed back to the incident in the alley moments early. Maybe his club wasn’t the greatest idea right now? Especially since there’d be two to a line.

Mind if I quickly borrow this... Uh. What is your name again?” He asked, as he scooped up her grappling hook from where she had previously dropped it on the floor of the rooftop.

With both hands gripped tightly around the gun’s handle, he aimed it carefully, and in an extremely slow manner, towards the neighbouring rooftop. Once he had his target, he fired the, propelling the grapple across the sky. The sound and feeling was so satisfying, that he accidently let out a snort “Sweet”, before straightening up and turning back towards the fellow vigilante.

He outstretched his arm, before flashing a grin. “Care to join me, m’lady.

That was probably smoother in his head.
