Yuh


The Co-GM has arrived!
Interested.


Glad to hear it!

You know I gotta be here.


Ayyyy! Good to see you here!

I’m interested. It’ll be nice to finally give Dulga some action again.


Yup. I'm looking forward to seeing that too.

I have an idea for a wind based hero I may be able to get out. Nothing too special just a guy who make big wind blasts he can't fly or anything quite yet.


'Nothing too special' is perfect for this rp. And scale for significant improvement is never a bad thing.
The premise is this: You're a student at Hero Academy...or rather what used to be a Hero Academy. Over the past ten years, its found itself struggling to stay relevant. Agencies and sponsors lost interest after several years of its graduates not being proper hero material mentally. It tried to recover but the damage was done. It lost most of its funding. It lost the training facilities. It lost the on-site dormitories. It started to offer more and more non-hero classes to break even, until over half the student body suddenly weren't even trying to become heroes. It's practically a regular high school now. A regular high school with Hero classes.

Last year, the previous Hero class teacher, an old z-list Hero, has finally retired. Every hero is either too famous to take this job, or too busy trying to climb the ranks. Statistically, this school's Hero class mostly produces Emergency Services and Law Enforcement. It's not the place to go if you were a past-his-peak Pro-Hero looking to make a difference to the next generation. But there was one applicant with the relevant experience in the world of Superheroism; Ms. Akane Mako. AKA Madame Obsidian, the famous thief and Supervillain who's reign of infamy lasted close to a year before she got caught. Fresh out of prison, and looking to go straight, she was given the role. She will be your Hero Class teacher this year.

You're a first year at this school. Whether you're here because you didn't quite have the power or skill to make it elsewhere, or you had too much of a vigilante mindset and are looking for somewhere more relaxed . or you're just a local, this is your high school and you were curious, you are part of the Hero Class. If you have grand dreams of fame and acclaim, or you want to be the Number 1 Hero some day, you've started with the king of all disadvantages.




So yeah, that's the idea I have. Let me know if you're interested/have any ideas of your own for the world or story!

I'll add a character sheet and create a Discord Server once we have some interest. Looking forward to doing this!


Heidi Williams



Location: Danger Room
Mentions: @Fallenreaper






Heidi had her suspicions. She had counted it as one of the possibilities that they weren't called here to clean. While it did make sense to deal out punishment, there was something about the announcement's mention of a 'new group of X-men' that made Heidi wonder if the punishment was a ruse to get everyone who had been involved in last night's events to the Danger Room. That is the reason why she had decided to insist Cleo and Veronica come here instead of humoring Cleo's plan to skip the punishment. There was a risk they would miss something important.

She watched intently as Ashford gave his address. She didn't need to wonder why she was here. This was, at the end of the day, still a school. Heidi was here to learn. Not just from the classes and the exercises, but from observing the school itself. And from the other students around her. Everything she had seen only bolstered her own beliefs. This was the level of control, comfort and happiness Mutantkind can achieve where there is space to experiment, and teachers to guide them in the use of their powers. They are kept safe from enemies and everyone around them knows what they're going through. Every mutant needed these things for a healthy, happy life, as much as every human needed education and a social circle.

Before she knew it, the address was over and the professors had left them to their own devices. Drake's outburst went entirely unnoticed by her, as she was standing in front of him so didn't hear or see any kind of scream. The first she noticed of her classmates besides Aya going to the professors to talk about something, was Ronnie, who was standing besides her, turning to look back at something. Heidi also turned back in time to see him muttering something about killing a spider with fire. Heidi saw no scorch marks, ash, or other residue at his feet, so he was lying about that. So why had Ronnie turned round? He must have suddenly made a loud noise of some kind, and was trying to play it off.

Heidi turned back to Ronnie when she spoke.

"I'm not even sure what just happened, but I haven't been here very long and nothing's seemed that out of the ordinary today. In fact, we were called here because something very unsettling and unusual did happen last night, and you're lucky you weren't there."

Nadeko Tayama


The moment Damien moved away to start to pin the arms, Nadeko continued to climb the robot by launching herself up its frame until she reached the robot's head. She was banking on the robot's head being where the chips or whatever that controlled it were housed. She didn't see any reason that wouldn't be the case. These weren't designed to beat heroes. These were designed to be beaten by hero students. With that said, she placed both her arms flat against the top of the robot's head and pulled, as hard as she could. Magnets and electronics don't mix. Even if there were safeguards in place, the power she was putting into her magnets should put even this robot out of commission.

When it was finally shut down, Nadeko hopped off and slid down the robot, using magnets against the machine's prone body to slow her fall. When she reached the ground, everything seemed...quiet. But it couldn't be over yet. They'd barely started. She looked over to Damien once he also reached the ground safely.

"Thanks for your help!" She called over to him as she approached him. "I misjudged that. I'm not sure either of us could have beaten that alone. Not as easily as we did together anyway."

There wasn't much time to talk as less than a minute after the last wave stopped, the sounds of gunfire could be heard. She looked over to where the sounds were coming from, then back to Damien. "I think round two's just started." she commented.
Natalie Ellis





Natalie after turning her phone off, was silent as she listened to the group discuss things. There was undeniable proof that there were children on the promise, and they had serial numbers. Natalie had gone pale, and was staring at the table with a furious intensity. Her fists were clenched ad knuckles were white. She listened as Eli explained that she knew a way in. She finally looked up at the group.

"I for one don't want to leave. There's nothing for me on Earth. I want to find out if this is true. There could be other explanations. Maybe they're being raised as, like, soldiers or something. That's not better at all but at least they wouldn't be suffering. But....if they're testing and experimenting on children..."

There was something dark in her eyes as she trailed off. It wasn't just rage. It was something Archie and Lynn might have recognized in Salamandra's; The capability and desire to kill in cold blood.

Nat cleared her throat and snapped out of it. She looked around at the group, and then rolled up her sleeves, exposing her scars. "I, uh, was going to talk about this with Archie first, privately, but we're here now so here goes. I was experimented on, back on Earth. For two years of my life. Some Organised crime effort to develop a way to give non-paras superpowers, called Project Lion. These scars aren't from self-harm or anything. They'd literally cut me open so they could inject my muscles with something. Every muscle. Most of my waking life was spent painfully healing, or being tested. See, my natural para ability isn't strength. It's just having really strong bones. They gave me the strength, because my bones made me the perfect guinea pig.

So you'll all understand when I say that finding out if anything remotely similar is happening here, is very, very personal to me. And I'm not leaving before I do."

The roar of a great Beast, followed by muffled bragging filled the air as Mina watched Acion's gestures. 'I', 'look', 'around'. Seemed pretty straightforward, but when Mina glanced to Ruby, she seemed a little lost. Mina sighed, and started to stretch her arms in preparation for whatever was about to happen. "He's telling us he's going to keep looking around. Probably to try and spot the others. That roar is either a diversion or bait. Either way, if this were real life, he'd be smashing buildings and possibly putting lives at risk. Taking him out is part of our job and I think we'll get penalized if we ignore him. We should be able to take him with our plan, even if it's only temporary." Mina then looked sidelong at Ruby and grinned the Queen of Queen Bitch grins. "Try to keep up."

Without another word, Mina started sprinting towards where Nestor's voice had been heard. She stopped in her tracks after seeing him bound to the roof of a building. She put all of her focus into watching him. The direction he was facing, and how poised he seemed. Very quickly, with almost as little time to think as she had to react, she pointed her finger at the rooftot he seemed to be jumping to next, and fired a laser at the space above the roof. If it didn't hit him, and her timing was late, she might have at least gotten his attention and he'd come to them. If she was early, he might flinch and miss the building. They'd all be win-wins if they happened but it was not as certain as she'd like.

Hitomi, perhaps even lighter than she looked, let herself get picked up and carried by the stronger, multiple-armed team leader. Once they reached the roof, she shook herself in an animal-like fashion and joined Dulga at the building's edge where she was watching the action from below.

"I can't see anyone but the Minotaur, and he's messing with my Sheep Sense. All I can sense is him too. I should think about adding binoculars to my arsenal next time." Hitomi looked to her roomie Tomoe, her face just pure business. "And how're you doing? Hanging in there? We might need you to sleep soon."
Natalie Ellis





"Keaton hasn't texted you back?" Nat replied to Eli, puzzled. "Do you have her number? I got a message from here just before I met you. I know where we've to meet. It's-"

Right then, Eli's phone pinged again, and Nat stopped talking while she checked it. And Cara confirmed it. Not that Natalie felt Eli would have needed confirmation after what happened at the picnic.

She looked over to Nic, and...was he crying? She listened to Eli indirectly send him on his way, and felt a little bit bad, but the truth was, she wasn't sure he should be there either. He still felt like a stranger to the group. The rest of them had been through some serious stuff together. Sure, Nice was there for the last two, but it wasn't the same. This is the first time she'd ever talked to him. Did he really belong in this group meetup? Nat got the impression that important things were going to be said, if Lynn of all people organised this.

Natalie then heard the sound of somebody approaching from behind them and turned on her heel very quickly. She didn't have her guard up or any hint of aggression but she clearly moved in order to face the approaching person as fast as possible. The moment she saw it was Archie, her last breath got stuck in her chest and her cheeks flushed slightly yet noticeably. She thought she had the rest of the journey to the meeting place to prepare mentally for this, but guess she was being thrown into the deep end. She still couldn't forget their last conversation, that had to get cut short doe to them both having to go to the Ceremony. So much more needed to be said there. The way it was left made her heart hurt every time she thought about it. The rejection. The knowledge that her actions had hurt Archie's feelings and hadn't even helped her out anyway. She had nothing to show for shutting herself out. She should have just leaned on her friends and even if she'd have been a gibbering wreck, that would have still been better than shutting them all out. But it was too late to change the past. She had to fix their relationship in the present.

She eventually caught her breath and smiled shyly. "He-hey, Archie."

Nat heard the pop shortly after Archie say Nic, and saw him grow considerably in height. He stopped, though. And his monitor hadn't gone off. So Natalie figured it was fine. The Beast had stirred, but wasn't awake yet. Even so, her smile had vanished and she was watching him very carefully now.

"Yeah, we're heading to the meet point. The picnic spot," she finished for Archie. She looked over at Eli out of curiosity, and saw she was very obviously petrified right now. Nat gave her a very brief reassuring smile, and a gesture of her hand as if to say 'it's okay. I got this'.

Lynn then arrived, and asked the group where Keaton was. Amelia was also there, but hadn't reached the group yet. Natalie was shocked at the state Lynn was in. What happened to her eye? Was it injured? Scarred? Or was it gone? Natalie had known that several of them had been injured, but that knowledge hadn't sunken in until seeing Lynn's bandages right now. She composed herself, and pointed in the direction they were walking. "You know, Keaton might be waiting for us at the meet point as we speak."
Natalie Ellis





Natalie picked up on Nic's nervous energy immediately. What he was saying didn't quite make sense. He clearly didn't know or recognize her but he'd told her how wonderful it was to see her. She had spent most of her time on this station being similarly as guarded and nervous, and had made these kinds of errors, so she knew that it was just the anxiety-driven desire to speak regardless of what words were being spoken.

"I'm not really sure what happened in the forest either. I've...repressed that memory and don't really want to bring it back right now, if that's okay."

She'd then watch him, and more specifically his face and eyes, over the next minute. Something was going on in his head. He was being bothered by it, and he was putting his finger to his ear. A tic? He was ignoring the both of them now. Whatever was happening in his head was taking up his attention. Nat met Eli's eyes, and looked concerned. The corner of Nat's mouth pulled taut and she wondered if they should really just wait for him to come back to them. But before she could make any moves on this, he snapped out of his stupor and made up an excuse, which Nat made no reply to but it was clear in her face she wasn't buying.

The moment he mentioned the loading bay, she saw his eyes dart to her a lot, and even settle on her once or twice. She was now convinced that he did in fact recognize her from the footage. He might even be scared of her, but he was so nervous anyway right now that she couldn't tell. What she could tell was there was a wariness with the way he looked at her, and even though the judgement of strangers no longer bothered Nat, this was somebody Eli knew. He wasn't a stranger. His fear did bother her a little bit.

She listened to his story. She vaguely remembered being knocked down by an explosion whilst trying to keep Archie away from Eli. Hearing that he was responsible, that he had tried to kill Archie, made her whole body tense. She understood his reasoning, and she'd have done the same with his lack of knowledge, but the thought that he could have hurt Archie could not escape her mind. She clenched her fists and looked away as she listened to the rest of his recapping of events. At least he was sorry and had regret. She shouldn't be angry at him for making a mistake. She knew this. But the anger wasn't going away.

Luckily for all parties involved, Eli mentioning she wasn't doing great, out loud, disarmed Natalie, and she felt her anger leave as it was replaced with concern for Eli. She put her hand on Eli's shoulder and smiled encouragingly at her.

"Well, that's what you have your friends for, and this meeting will probably help with that. Trust me, I know from experience that right now you need your friends the most. I shut you all out and I still regret it."
