Pizza is a main course, but is also a pie. Therefore, I can eat pizza as my meal and have another pizza as my dessert.

When I need a left sock, there is none. When I don't need one, there is a surplus. I think the world is toying with me.

Sunny days are meant to be spent in a dark room surfing the net and watching series in netflix.

Bio
I am Searat
Half sea, Half rat, All Aqueous Rodent.
My role playing career is something i consider as a hobby of some sort but as to how long i have been role playing, I would say that i have three to four years under my belt. (Though most of the times I was role playing, they were nothing as serious as this and were more of a means to relieve stress with my friends or test out ideas that came to mind with them.)
As for my preferences to genres of role play, I would have no biases nor specific preferences to any genre and would be able to adapt to the genre as best I can when placed into it.
Some of my hobbies consist of: playing games, surfing the web, walking, bowling, darts, and cooking. I sometimes write and draw things but not as much to consider it to be a serious hobby.

Entirely possible actually. But it'll be at the cost of some of the shield's charge that could have been used to stop a bullet.

Yep, got some inspiration for it there but it doesn't really render guns useless per se. It can definitely stop bullets and other fast moving projectiles but only a handful of hits then the generator overheats and will take up to a minute or an entire hour to recharge.
High-end shields will stop armor piercing rifle grade bullets and even large explosions and recharge after a minute while budget shields can only withstand pistol grade bullets and will not save you from explosions as well as taking up to an hour to fully recharge.
But either shield can't block slow moving projectiles. So arrows, bolts, thrown objects, melee weapons, and good ol' fisticuffs are still fair game against these high-tech shields.

Things were going better than expected. Lady luck was finally smiling down upon them after a year and a half of getting kicked in the teeth by her metaphorically and literally at one point for a former hero of CHAMP, Pearly Whites. Poor guy had to get dentures after getting a face full of boot...seven times in one fight.
"Sure thing, Bob. Maybe you can even invite your friend Zane to help me tinker with your gear." Manny says innocently with a friendly thumbs up before turning to Link and Talia. "That would be the plan as the client would prefer that Bucur to face justice but...has no qualms if we kill him. He'd still consider the job done and we'd still get renown and paid." Manny pauses and scratches the back of his head while slightly looking down to the floor. "I know that killing people is unavoidable at times in our line of work but I follow a strict no-kill rule that Captain Amazing followed." Manny believed that the late great hero did it out of the altruistic sense of righteousness of giving a bad soul to reform and be good. But in truth it was simply bad for the sponsors if their 'hero' had any blood on his hands.
"But I know that the thugs in the nightclub will likely have guns in their possession and I've learned from my mistakes over the past year and a half. I don't have them with me right now...but I will have them by tonight. They're personal shield generators. The kind that people like the President have. I'd go into detail on how I made these from junk but I think it'd take too long and it'll just bore you guys. Just keep in mind that these things will protect you from a few bullets but not so much from slower moving things like thrown objects, fists, or melee weapons."

"Glad to hear that Jersey Devil. Also, two-pronged attack plan? Brilliant. I doubt Bucur and his thugs will be expecting being attacked from within and from above. But as for communications...I think I still have the sub-compact micro radios when CHAMP still had a decent number of heroes." He runs to a swept up-pile of what was assumed to junk and spare parts. "Yep. Definitely here." Manny says before metaphorically diving into the pile and scrounges for something. Before long, the man stands back up; producing a sealed wooden case.
Opening it for the others to see, revealed six pairs of small black devices no bigger than a modestly sized earstud. "These bad boys are custom made by yours truly from high end electronic waste I've scavenged." Manny then gives a demonstration on how these things worked. He takes a pair and lets the miniscule device rest firmly but comfortably on his left earlobe. "Kinetically powered batteries to ensure 24/7 activity; removing the need for external power sources. Precise but simple maglock system to ensure no slippage during vigorous movement as well as providing a snug one-size-fit-all design. A captive touch surface enclosed in a super thin, ultra durable, and stylish black polymer alloy casing that houses a one-of-a kind radio transmitter-receiver hybrid allowing secure closed communications among the remaining five sets with a simple upward or downward flick of a finger within a 4 to 6 mile radius."
He lets out a content sigh before offering the three heroes present the remaining pairs. "Top of the line stuff if you ask me. I hope these serve you as well as they served the former members."

As Link tried to remember any acquaintance that he knew that had any relation to the nightclub, Manny began to explain to them the possible ways they can tackle this job.
"Well I have a couple of suggestions to how we'd get inside of the nightclub and launch the surprise attack. The first is that we pretend that we're club goers that are looking to get 'dusted' as they would say and attack when we reach the club's VIP area. Our gear can be smuggled piece by piece into the building but I think I'll be the only one that would need to get my gear smuggled inside as most of you have inconspicuous gear that could be passed off as fashion items." Manny paused to approach a pile of seemingly nondescript garbage covered by a thick motor oil stained sheet to pull it off, revealing the Grey Gadgeteer Suit. "As you can see, mine is significantly more conspicuous. Thus leading me to the second suggested plan of action." He walks away from the poor clunky hodgepodge excuse of an exoskeletal suit he lovingly called his hero suit and towards his laptop once more. Sifting through the files in it for the one he was looking for. "We could use the adjacent buildings' roofs to gain access to the roof of the nightclub and launch our attack to the VIP area from there...but I am open to your suggestions if you have any."
Link would then remember a hazy memory from last night. The rotund woman, that he had the pleasure or displeasure of bedding, mentioned in passing that she was the one responsible for dispatching all the liquor deliveries to the shitty clubs in the downtown area. Likely including Bucur's nightclub.
Maybe that memory could be useful to finding alternative ways into infiltrating the club without rousing unnecessary attention?

Manny let out a mental sigh of relief when the new members of the CHAMP didn't seem to mind that they were not doing well financially nor were they highly regarded by the citizens of Hero City nor their fellow heroes. But hopefully they'd be with CHAMP long enough to prove their nay-sayers wrong. The man perked up when the members began introducing themselves to one another. "Hello all. I am Manuel Donaire, also known as, The Grey Gadgeteer and the founder of the Council of Heroes Against Malicious Persons. It is a pleasure to meet you and an honor to call you all my fellow CHAMPs."
He truly was grateful for the three misfit heroes that sat before him. It had nearly been two months since Slug Girl had retired from her hero duties after the Barton's Rock Salt Mine incident...poor Slug Girl won't be the same ever again. But now was not the time for regrets, now was a time for celebration. The CHAMP now had more than enough heroes to be fully active once more. "I know it may be a little early, but I just couldn't help it." Manny said before walking to his laptop and opening it to show the others present. "I got us a debut job."
"The job in itself was a simple one. The client wanted them to go and capture Volk Bucur, the owner of a popular nightclub in downtown Hero City after bribing his way out of arrest for a hit and run three weeks ago that left our client with a broken leg." Manny then pulls up a handful of headlines that show the incident as well as a prominent portrait of the aforementioned club owner to help the group familiarize themselves with what Volk looked like. "But this is the part where it gets difficult for us. I've done some digging and a contact of mine from the Hero City Police Department shared with me that the nightclub is only a front and is a suspected distribution center of this new drug called 'Diamond Dust'. Real nasty stuff from what I understood from the info. Makes you feel like a billion bucks and gives you temporarily enhanced physical abilities, but fucks up your brain chemistry so bad that if you take in another dose within 24 hours, you go nuttier than squirrel poop." Manny then pulls up the police files that were given to him and to say the aftermath of a berserk Diamond Dust junkie was messy was sugar coating the scene. It looked like a typhoon swept through the areas in the pictures, leaving tens of thousands of dollars worth of property damage and scores of injuries and even some deaths.
"A couple hero groups tried to do this a few days ago and wound up in the ICU or dead. So they'll be expecting us to go in guns blazing...figuratively and literally like the other groups did. So I suggest that we do this all sneaky like and strike only when we are sure that we can capture Volk and maybe even stop the Diamond Dust distribution in the area there." Manny paused to let the information sink in with the others present. He knew that this was definitely one of the more dangerous jobs available in Rent-A-Hero® for smaller and less powerful hero groups but if they managed to pull this off they'd be finally be respected as proper heroes and even get a good sum of cash for completing it. "So...what do you guys say? Wanna kick some bad guy's ass and deal with a drug problem in the process?"
