Amalgam - Hour of X

Finally finished some micros. Took a few liberties here and there just cause I didn't want everything looking too similar, and then with some I just didn't wanna rely on black as a primary or secondary color. Lemme know what you guys think!

Amalgam - Hour of X

_{Location: Jumphaven, - New York}

Chapter One: League of Their Own

---

_{Interaction(s): @Omega Man - Kid Cannonball | @Crimson Flame - Ice Beast | @Silver Carrot - Marauder
@Half Pint - Orphan X | @Polaris North - Reactor}

Most of the meta-mutants that were going to answer the call seemed to have already made it to the T Tower in Jumphaven. Night Vision was nowhere to be seen despite being the one to arrange the meeting. Kid Cannonball was trying not to make himself too comfortable. He'd only been a member of the offshoot team, the Teen Titan X, for roughly a year. He'd never met Night Vision during that entire chapter of his life, or even been this far north (on purpose) for that matter. The last few months he'd only known his grandfather Nathaniel's apartment and lab. As a rule, KC kept the whole 'being a hero lost in time' thing to himself. The only one who knew his secret was Sparrow. Sam wasn't sure if she'd be at this gathering, or ANY of the Teen Titan X team for that matter. KC was at least somewhat familiar with Ice Beast and Marauder. And Sparrow always spoke good of Orphan. Then a familiar voice rang into the lobby area of the T Tower...

"BOOYAH!" yelled the half man half alien machine Gridlock, aka Vic Stone. The young hero had been on both the Titan X team as well as the Teen squad as a mentor to the younger heroes. Years ago Vic was just your average teenager with technopathy until a freak accident caused him to be merged with an alien machine. When Night Vision was still using the Sparrow alias, he and his girlfriend Darkbird contacted Vic and several others to form the original Titan X team.

Elsewhere in the T Tower...

Night Vision was at the bedside of Darkbird. Since her demon father Trigon was brought into this dimension she has been in some type of coma. In reality she was in a telepathic war with him, as he was once again trying to use her body as a vessel. You would've thought Raven Grey was having a nightmare, but it was far worse. Scott held her hand in his own.

"Stay strong, Pretty Bird." he said quietly before getting his game face on. Night Vision could hear the team coming together with Vic getting louder by the minute. Gridlock had an auto-tuned voice and sounded exactly like you would expect him to.

Night Vision came back to the lobby area and approached Vic, who was mid-story talking about the Teen Titan X's last battle against Doctor Pyro to the rest of the group.

"...and then for some reason he thought if he could take out Sam's legs he wouldn't be able to fly." Vic continued before being approached for a handshake from his old teammate.

"I don't think Doc Pyro went to medical school." Kid Cannonball commented in his southern tone. He sounded almost like the aloof Super Soldier after he was first unfrozen. Most of the time he didn't understand references to modern day things, similarly to 'Soldier.

And that's when the T Tower was attacked. Eight feet tall and solid muscle, Mal Duncan stood to face what was left of the once great team after destroying the entrance to the lobby. The Herald of Cytorakk didn't crash through the door for nothing, but what was he here for? Who sent him?

"TO ME, TITANS!" Night Vision yelled as the group formed around him.

Amalgam - Hour of X

<sub>Previously on Titan X...

After the team defeated the Herald and made it back to HQ, they were shocked to find Doctor Strangefate. The supreme sorcerer was the bearer of bad news and informed the meta-mutant team that Dark Bird had been abducted by the Hellfire Cult. It is likely that it has something to do with the demon possessed Tri-Sentinel.

Meanwhile back on the decimated islands of Genosha and Marakoa, members of the Justice League of Avengers (JLoA!) helped with the rescue efforts. Super Soldier and Atomic Ant (Atom + Ant Man!) were at a press conference days later informing the world that the Tri-Sentinel had went into hiding after the attacks and that the JLoA was working with the allied nations of the world to locate the demonic machine.</sub>

CHAPTER ONE

<sub>Previously... on Titan X...

T.O. Trask chose to dabble in the occult to prolong his life and unleashed a demon of incredible power that took life in an experimental Sentinel. Now the Tri-Sentinel has become the master mold for demonic machines and laid waste to the meta-mutant islands of Genosha and Marakoa (Markovia + Krakoa).

However, before Night Vision could even prepare to take down the demonic machines plaguing meta-mutants, the Herald of Cytorrak came knocking. Who could have sent Malcolm Cane Duncan to take down the heroes, and who will be left standing to stop him from destroying the T Tower?</sub>

*Hit That Theme Music*

Night Vision... Orphan... Ice Beast... Gridlock... Kid Cannonball... Marauder... Darkbird... Reactor... Spellbinder...

Years ago Scott Grayson was the original Sparrow of the hero called Dark Claw, until his meta-mutant powers kicked in. After years of training with the violent vigilante as well as a chance encounter with Dr. Strangefate, Grayson went on to form the Titan X (10). Shortly after, Grayson took the name Night Vision and the team evolved over the course of roughly nine years. Members of the team would come and go, dozens of heroes it seemed like. The group even had an off-shoot, the Teen Titan X, that had several iterations as well. Now during a time of crisis, the remaining members of both groups have banded together to stop mutual enemies.

1.) No back-to-back posting.

2.) PAY ATTENTION TO DETAIL AND SET-UPS!!

3.) Make sense. If we can't make heads or tails of your posts they're likely to get skipped over.

4.) Get permission before using another player's character in your posts if it involves changing the scene or making actions. Everybody will take beatings in this game in battle however, so don't get pissed if you get punched or blasted into a wall by the bad guys! Namely me or the Co-GM controlling the badguys...

5.) Problems with the game or players should be sent directly to me or the Co-GM through PM's. I don't want a bunch of bickering in the OOC. And I don't particularly like it when some random argument costs the game players and story potential. So don't be dicks to each other, just send your concerns to us.

6.) Abandoned characters will be used as NPC's or killed off within the context of the story.

7.) “I was waiting for [insert player/character] to make a move” is not how this game is played.

9.) My word is law.

10.) Obey the law.

Amalgam - Hour of X

Working on the opening IC posts' format and uploading some images to a host site. Get ready to rumble! It's just about that time!

@EmiliaBaiYue @Damo021 Y'all still sitting on the fence?

Amalgam - Hour of X

@rocketrobie2 @Double @Wxer I can't think of anybody else to tag at 4:30 am, I'll go back and tag people from the interest check after work. IC will be finished this evening after work.

EDIT: Thought I posted this BEFORE leaving for work. Guess I didn't hit 'post reply' or something....

Amalgam - Hour of X

Still working on the IC opener. I didn't wanna rush it and it be half assed. There's still time to find another player or two if anybody knows somebody that might be into this sorta RP. I'll tag some people later and see if I can get anybody...

Amalgam - Hour of X

I'll get the IC started sometime after work today. Bout 12-13 hours from now. Had to let the baby use the laptop to watch YouTube before bed...

Amalgam - Hour of X

Finally got my new CS posted, who are we still waiting on? Just @Polaris North as far as the already approved cast goes?

I'm still working on the opener for the IC, had some slight problems on my laptop earlier trying to use an earlier version of mspaint. Still trying to recruit a couple more players to make a squad closer to ten people, if we don't meet the number I'll likely throw in a couple characters as NPC's and fodder for villains.

Amalgam - Hour of X

KID CANNONBALL

DC/Marvel Characters Used: Kid Flash (Bart Allen) + Cannonball
Name: Samuel 'Sam' Allen
Alias: Kid Cannonball
Age: 20
Powers:
Cannon Force - By tapping into what he calls the Cannon Force, Sam is able to fly at hypersonic speeds as well as create baseball sized fireball-like projectiles he throws from his hands. The Force also increases his durability (he calls it his Cannon Force-Field) and strength, as well as his agility while in the air. Unknown to Sam, when he was struck by lightning as a teenager it activated and altered his meta-mutant DNA. He's stronger and faster than he should have been.

Max Strength - 5 Tons
Max Speed - Mach 5 (five times the speed of sound, roughly 3800 mph)

Weaknesses:
Same basic weaknesses for any human in light body armor. While he's strong still when not in the air, his durability and speed are weakened when he's grounded. Sorta like how Aquaman is stronger in the water, KC is just twice as powerful in the air.

Team Affiliation: Teen Titan X
Personality: impulsive, honest, trustworthy, gentlemanly, short-tempered
Appearance:


BRIEF Bio:

Sam is the grandson of a time traveler, who was struck by lightning in the year 2099, and sent back to the year 2023. After mastering his abilities in what seemed like no time at all, the flying speedster joined the Teen Titan X under the leadership of the blonde haired Sparrow. After a team up or two with Spider-Boy, and learning about the importance of family even if it is artificial or adopted, Sam looked up his grandfather who was on the cusp of figuring out time travel in a small Virginian town.

Despite being smart, getting sent back into the past made Sam look like a bumbling southern gentleman who can't get the hang of technology. After a brief relationship with Sparrow, Sam moved in with his younger grandad until the call to all available Titans was sent out by Night Vision.

Supporting cast/characters:

Sparrow - (Robin/Stephanie + Jubilee), Spider-Boy - (Superboy + Spider-Man), Nathaniel Allen - (Barry Allen + Nathaniel Richards)

Amalgam Universe Notes: Some characters obviously won't line up one for one with other Amalgams and that's ok LOL. The grandfather of Cannonball wasn't also Reed Richards' father, but Nathaniel Richards was the first time-traveler that popped into my head from Marvel so he was combined with Barry Allen for the time traveling grand daddy.
