[ Amuné and Jareth ]

---

Amuné’s danger sense warned her a split second before the woman covered in knives -- Lady Blade, she figured -- dropped down in front of her, Jareth, and Austin. She had a combat knife in one hand, and a menacing grin on her face. Amuné didn’t bother looking at the other two heroes, instead moving forward with purpose, her hands open, her own stance ready. “Back me up, you two.”

Almost immediately the concrete floor beneath the two combatants started trembling, then rumbling, then really shaking as Jareth used his power to form a very localized quake. It only affected the very surface layer of the ground, but really that was all he needed.

Amuné moved like a dancer on the shaking ground, her predictive sense allowing her to compensate for the motion almost before it happened. She also neatly dodged Lady Blade’s initial attacks -- one, two, three -- before venturing an attack of her own, a stiff-fingered jab that targetted a pressure point in the woman’s shoulder. Her opponent blocked, and Amuné smiled inwardly. In using her arm to deflect Amuné’s attack, the blade-wielding woman exposed herself to one of her opponent’s more useful skills. Unfortunately, the attack and the use of her power also left Amuné open to a counter, and Lady Blade scored a slice along the girl’s arm, eliciting a hiss of pain.

“Terra, feet!”

That was all the warning Lady Blade would get, as with a loud CRACK the concrete directly beneath each of her two feet opened up. Jareth was trying to pin her feet to immobilize her. At the same time, Amuné backed off. But Lady Blade was too quick for Jareth’s trick to work on her. By the time the cracks closed enough to trap her feet, she’d already stepped away.

“Attention heroes,” Amuné said, quickly tapping her smartwatch to activate it. “The primary target is not Hero Day events. It’s Hero One!”

The appearance of Director Powers interrupted Wiseman's greeting to Jareth, but the young man didn't pursue it. The drone had caught his attention. He settled next to the older, armored hero, and watched as the man pried loose a panel, then made sure the thing was disabled. When Wiseman set the drone back down, Jareth accepted the tacit offer, kneeling down next to the drone and taking a look at the innards while listening to the other man speak.

What followed was exposition on the Fiendish Five and their capabilities. They sounded...dangerous. Then again, any villian that had killed 20 heroes was bound to be dangerous. He was nervous, but it seemed Wiseman had a good idea of how to proceed.

Amuné, for her part, had quietly taken the loose panel that Austin pried off the bot, and was turning it over in her hands. She listened attentively to his rundown of who they faced, her face unreadable behind her mask. Once Austin was done, she focused her powers and attempted a scry.

Sure enough, five figures, though only the balding man in a labcoat was clearly visible. The others seemed to be moving around, but Professor Gholem -- she presumed -- was hard at work on a laptop.

"The professor is stationary, somewhere -- I can't really make out the details, but he's got a customized laptop with him. I'm guessing that's how he's controlling the drones. The other four are blurry, but I think they're on the move. Which means..." She glanced over at Wiseman. "Attack incoming, I'd imagine."

Jareth shook Blast -- Jake's -- hand firmly. Then the hero in green was off, over to Amuné, who nearly stepped back from him. She managed to keep her composure, however, and returned the handshake, though with decidedly less enthusiasm than Jake exuded. "Nice to meet you," she said.

They were joined by another hero, this one apparently from Boston, who introduced himself as Ardent. Jareth went over for a handshake and repeated his name, Terra. Amuné just waved from where she was, and said nothing.

Then Madison showed up, greeting Amuné with a bright smile Amuné couldn't help but return. Even though her mask hid her expressions, the smile was evident in her voice. "Wireframe! I'm doing well, and I hope you are too. Just...remember, it's Oracle when I'm in costume, okay?" Still, Amuné wasn't too upset about the slip.

Meanwhile Ardent and Jake were complaining about the decided lack of Director Powers' presence. Austin, in full armor and bristling with weapons, joined them.

"If he's just showing us off, we're probably going to slip away quietly," Jareth said aloud, glancing over at Amuné. She contributed a nod. "We're very new, and Oracle would prefer to let someone else have the limelight."

"Hey Wiseman, Wireframe. C'mere a second," Amuné said, waving them over toward Jareth. "I want you to meet Terraformer. He's the one I mentioned before, my best friend growing up." She didn't say his real name, but she didn't need to. Both should be familiar with it from her talking about Jareth in the past.

"She's talked a lot about you both," Jareth said, offering his hand to each in turn. "It's a pleasure to finally meet you two."

[ Amuné and Jareth ]

It wasn't exactly a beautiful day in Castleburg -- overcast and a bit nippy was a better way to describe it. And yet Amuné was still enjoying the weather. She preferred cooler temperatures. Jareth did not. He had on a light jacket over his T-shirt and jeans, and his hands shoved deep in the jacket's pockets. The pair had hit the festival early, both in civvie attire. Amuné carried a small backpack with snacks and sunscreen and a few other essentials, just in case. They'd watched a portion of the parade -- the Hugo Powers balloon getting a laugh from them both at how poorly made it was. Then they'd meandered their way down Fifth Avenue towards the Convention Center.

Come noon or so, the pair stopped for lunch at a food truck selling hotdogs, and another selling lemonade. Amuné got herself a corndog, with Jareth going for a big dog with all the fixings. The two found a place to sit at a nearby group of picnic tables and tucked in. Then they went for a lemonade refill, and continued their liesurely walk down the avenue.

It was just passed quarter to one when a chirp in their earbuds indicated a message from their linked smartwatches:

"Attention, heroes. I need a group of you to assist me at the Johnstone Convention Center. If you are available, please come and meet behind the stage. You will be rewarded for your time."

Jareth looked down at his younger friend. "What do you say, Né? Sounds like the Director needs some help."

Amuné chewed on her lip before replying. "I dunno...he might just want us to be on stage, and I'm not willing to expose myself like that. I want to keep a low profile, y'know?"

"You really think the Director would call us for something that trivial?"

"I don't know. Maybe I'm being paranoid, but...the center would be a great place to hit if you wanted to take out a lot of heroes at once."

Jareth's expression immediately turned serious. "Have you--"

"No, no, nothing like that. I'm just a little worried. She smiled up at him as he put a reassuring hand on her shoulder.

"If anything happens, I'll protect you. You know that right?"

"I know."

"Okay then. So let's check out what the Director wants, and if it's a public appearance, we'll just politely bow out. Sound good?"

Amuné nodded. "Sounds good."

With that decided, the pair walked the hundred remaining yards to the Convention Center, climbed the steps, and made their way inside. Beyond the entryway the Johnstone Convention Center was filled with booths and people. Together the pair wended their way through the crowd to the stage. As they stepped backstage, Amuné triggered her earpiece to deploy her mask. She glanced over at Jareth, then elbowed him.

"Huh? Oh right, hero time." He fished his goggles out of his pocket and put them on, then pulled his bandana up to cover the lower half of his face. "Better?"

She nodded, then looked around the area. It seemed like only one other person was there, and there was no sign of Director Powers. Instead, a hero she recognized as Blast was kicking his feet while sitting on a large crate. Amuné let Jareth go to make introductions as she settled herself in a corner and took off her backpack, placing it on the floor at her feet.

Jareth, ever-friendly, approached the other hero. "Hey there! I recognize you, you're Blast, right? I'm Terra, and over there is Oracle. It's a pleasure to meet you."

@VitaVitaAR So the Japanese schools aren't the only ones in the world? Hmm. I can work with that.

I suppose I could paint Shakti as a guardian angel gone wrong. Its charge died, and it turned to vengeance, then was banished by people who didn't know what the hell it was. As a result now it's tied to shadow, instead of to light. Would that work for you?

Jareth Sadi

TERRAFORMER

"Sometimes all a supervillain needs is to touch grass. With their face."

[ REAL NAME ]

Jareth Sadi

[ HERO NAME ]

Terraformer

[ NICKNAME/ALIAS ]

Terra (his full hero name is a little long)

[ AGE ]

18 (born August 28th)

[ GENDER ]

male

[ AFFILIATION ]

HERO operative

[ APPEARANCE ]

Jareth works hard to keep himself in shape. Unfortunately for him, the ripped appearance of movie heroes is out of his reach (seriously, it's unhealthy what they do to look so jacked), but he is well-muscled and athletic. His round face is covered in freckles, and he cannot grow a beard to save his life, so keeps himself clean-shaven. His hair is rusty-brown, and his eyes are just plain brown. He favors hard-wearing clothes in earthy tones. He usually has some sort of scarf or bandana around his neck, and nearly always wears steel-toed shoes. As a hero, his outfit changes little, the only real difference the addition of a pair of goggles.

[ PERSONALITY TRAITS ]

Jareth is friendly and outgoing. He's easy to get along with, and prefers to go with the flow rather than make waves. He's hardworking and diligent, and his friends find him a good listener. He can be easily flustered (especially by a pretty girl). He's a bit of a geek, and unashamedly so.

[ BIO ]

Jareth had a normal childhood growing up on Passenger Island. His mother is a computer programmer; his father a mechanic. He finds both fields fascinating, melding the two into an interest in robotics, among other things. His first real contact with the world of superheroes came when a young girl moved in down the street, a shy child that took him some time to befriend.

That changed at fifteen, when Jareth accidentally shielded himself from a water balloon with a pile of dirt and rock instead of just his hand. Off to the Academy he went, not unwillingly -- he'd always been curious about what Amuné's world was like, and now he was part of it.

He delayed becoming an operative until Amuné was old enough to become one as well, and is only now starting actual field work.

| MISCELLANEOUS |

Jareth loves tinkering with machinery, computers, and robotics.

Jareth can squish people with rocks, but that's pretty much it.

[ ENDURANCE ]
■■■□□□□□□□
Jareth is able to use his powers to shield himself from some blows, giving him a slight edge in endurance.

[ STAMINA ]
■■■■□□□□□□
Jareth has decent stamina, though in a fight of attrition using his powers will wear him down.

Oracle

[ NICKNAME/ALIAS ]

Né (to very close friends)

[ AGE ]

16 (born July 15th)

[ GENDER ]

female

[ AFFILIATION ]

HERO operative

[ APPEARANCE ]

Amuné is lanky and thin, almost gangly. It's evident that she will be on the tall side as an adult, but right now she's not yet grown into her long limbs. Her eyes are grey, set above a nose sprinkled with freckles. Her brown hair is cut in an angled bob, longer in front than in back. She favors hard-wearing clothes, though she won't pass up an opportunity to dress nicely when given one. As a hero, she wears a light kevlar vest and jeans, along with sturdy boots. To hide her identity, she wears a white face mask with goldenrod markings.
When not in use, the mask folds up using compacting technology into a small earpiece.

[ PERSONALITY TRAITS ]

Amuné can be slow to trust, and is not the best at being a team player -- an aspect of herself she is working hard to improve. She is very self-reliant, and dislikes burdening others with her problems, though she's made great strides at opening up in the past several years. Though she can be prickly, her friends find her reliable, thoughtful, and trustworthy, with a strong moral compass.

[ BIO ]

Amuné came into her powers at a very young age. She was all of five when she asked her father why her mommy wasn't coming home -- the day her mother died in a car accident. Her father didn't take the revelation well, turning to drink as a source of comfort. When a pair of suits claiming to be from a local hero organization turned up and offered to take custody of the girl, he didn't look too closely at things, and let her go with them despite her protests.

This was a mistake. What followed was several years of extreme unpleasantness in the care of the Ring that ended when an actual hero organization stepped in and freed the young supers in their clutches. Amuné does not speak of this portion of her past much, and still carries trauma from that time. About a year after she was freed, she was placed with a foster family on Passenger Island, and sent to attend the Academy for Junior Heroes to learn to master her abilities. While things were at first exceedingly difficult for her, through therapy and the care of her foster family Amuné has come to be a relatively well-adjusted teenager.

| MISCELLANEOUS |

Amuné still attends therapy to help her deal with the problems of her past.

Abilities

[ RANKING ]

Lambda Class

[ POWERS ]

Amuné is a Seer, meaning she has visions of past, present, and sometimes future. Objects and places can carry echoes of past events, which she can read. In a fight, if she focuses, she can sense incoming attacks slightly before they occur, allowing her to dodge them better than she could otherwise. Contact with an opponent lets her 'read' them, discerning information about them that might not be readily apparent. Usually knowledge comes to her in the form of flashes of insight, but an actual vision is less controlled and more likely to dominate her awareness, sometimes to the exclusion of reality. Places and things with stronger echoes are more likely to trigger visions without Amuné trying to tap into them.

[ PHYSICAL STRENGTH ]
■■□□□□□□□□
Amuné is of average strength.

[ AGILITY ]
■■■□□□□□□□
Amuné's precog ability allows her to dodge better than average.

[ INTELLIGENCE ]

Amuné is of average intelligence.

[ DESTRUCTIVENESS ]
■■□□□□□□□□
Amuné is of average destructiveness.

[ LETHALITY ]
■■■□□□□□□□
Given her ability to detect weaknesses, Amuné is slightly better than average lethality.

[ ENDURANCE ]
■■□□□□□□□□
Amuné has average endurance.

[ STAMINA ]
■■■■■□□□□□
Amuné has a high stamina, gained through extensive training.

[ EFFICACY ]

Amuné has excellent control over her powerset, though sometimes visions will hit her for no apparent reason. She cannot use her powers to control other people.

[ SURVEILLANCE LEVEL ]
■□□□□□□□□□
Amuné's values align well with those of HERO, and she is unlikely to cause trouble left to her own devices.

[ SKILLS ]

Amuné is a capable fighter with both knife and gun.

[ EQUIPMENT ]

Amuné carries a pocketknife at all times. She also keeps the earpiece that turns into her mask on her person always.

Shadow Contract: An Urban Fantasy Action RP

@VitaVitaAR Heylo! I am interested in joining, if spots are still open. I do have a few questions: primarily, is it okay if I play someone that is *not* Japanese, but was recruited anyhow because of the potential of her ability/because she was causing a fuss? Either one of the characters I'm thinking of playing had their powers forced upon them, and trouble followed shortly thereafter. I mean, if these two schools are the only ones of their kind in the world, it would make sense to have foreign students.

Secondly, would you be alright with a Seer/oracle type of character? This sort of power would require some input from the GM when I use it, obviously -- and I don't play it all-powerful. The future is a tricky thing. Sometimes visions are unclear, or just plain wrong. I'm thinking (for the character I think I'd prefer to play) that on a family trip to Norway she was blessed/cursed by the Norns. I'm aware this is more of a support power, though it does have some combat uses -- being able to vaguely sense attacks allows for a slightly faster reaction time, and she might be able to suss out an enemy's abilities through physical contact with it. I am having trouble thinking of a good cost, so if you have input there that'd be great.

The other option is a character with a spirit that serves as a melee fighter, emerging from shadows to inflict harm. This character would have been kidnapped by a cult and had her parents tortured and sacrificed (that being the cost) to bring the spirit forth. Shakti is an ancient (and made-up) spirit; I don't know if you're okay with that since it's not specifically Japanese themed and not actually from any mythology, though I do have some created lore for the spirit. I'm also not sure if you're okay with a power that is dangerous to allies -- Shakti *wants* to murder everything it sees as a threat to its host, and that includes civvies and the host's friends. Cas (the character) and Shakti have come to something of an understanding, but it's still...aggressive.

I'd want to talk to you at length about either character's backstory, probably in PM (although discord works too). Please, let me know what you think!
