Captain Cedric D. Boone - Krabbe Battle! IX

Cedric watched in great satisfaction as his explosive shot made its' mark on their dangerous foe. He laughed bawdily, "Bawhahahahaha! And there's more where that came from!" Saban tumbled off the Rum Runner, but used a clever trick to make his way towards the King Krab. Boone held his side to apply pressure and alleviate the bleeding from his gunshot wound.

He made a mental note of the situation, hearing the words of John Krabbe. Working together would be the best option in their situation.."EVERYONE, EXCEPT DIRK!! PREPARE TO BOARD THE KING KRAB! FOCUS ON FIGHTING THAT MONSTROUSITY!!"

Then their captain glanced at Dirk stating, "Our capable helmsman will steer us in close enough to board. Isn't that right Mr. Messir?"

Telios & Koritomo-san

in

The Battle for Love

Telios flew over the lands of the new war god Koritomo. It was strange visiting with the daughter of the lead usurper. Telios hated the former war for killing his father Ephra, but his daughter seemed very reasonable and attractive. His former attachment to the goddess of nature ended after he found out she had been sleeping around with anyone and anything. Enough was enough! This time he was aiming to court Koritomo as well as have his first born son Telos prepared for battle. They would undoubtedly need an ally in their fight like Koritomo. More importantly then that though, Telios wanted a partner that would stick with him through the good and bad times. He also wanted somebody to love other then his son.

Some time later, Telios arrived with 10 large, ready for war Griffins, as well as a single phoenix made of pure sunlight. It required no food, just the light from the sun. He dropped his gifts off at the stables with an attendant, besides the phoenix, who seemed more then a little surprised at the large beasts. Telios spoke to the boy with a hefty deep voice in his 14 foot frame, "They have been trained, have no fear." Then he waved at them to proceed. The Griffins trotted forward to the boy. "You have a new master now." Telios said. Then he headed toward the desired meeting area. He realized finally, that he was a little large for the facilities and shrank his form to that of a large man, about 7 ft tall. Heading inside he knelt at the table provided outside the war room.

A woman stood pouring over a rather large map, Silver-blonde hair pulled back in a half bun ponytail, blue-violet eyes scanning over territories within her own lands. Small figurines of varying creatures were positioned throughout, some were far more clustered while others were spread far more out. A variety of Candles were spread about, adding further illumination to the streaks of sunlight that were pouring in through the windows within her War room. When she was not in here, usually she took to the city to see how her people were doing, but this morning she was expecting far too many people to arrive for her to even bother leaving the confines of her castle.This morning, she recalled that Telios, the God of the Sun, was intending on visiting his Son though he had expressed interest in seeing her as well. It was a strange thing, but she did not bother questioning it at the moment as it very well could be something as simple as discussing their alliance thanks to her agreement to train the boy he had sent to her. Lifting her eyes from the map before her, she spotted a shadowed figure on the other side of the door, the rice paper doing nothing to hide their presence. ”You may enter,” she stated before they even had the chance to knock, the only ones who ever dared bother her when she was busy planning out attacks on the enemies within her lands were her attendants, it was likely someone had arrived. “Koritomo-sama, one of your guests have arrived, I have him waiting in the sitting room,” a young man said after sliding open the door. “Ah, it seems Telios-san has arrived earlier than I expected him too,” she muttered to herself, giving the attendant a small wave of her hand in a dismissive manner, ”Please let him know that I will be there in a moment.” There was a soft clicking sound as she tapped one of her metal ‘claws’ on the table before she let out a sigh and headed for the door that the Attendant had left in a hurry to do as was bid of him. Smoothing out her Kimono, she left the room, sliding the door closed behind her before walking through the maze of halls and arriving at the sitting room. While she did have her Daisho at her side, she knew Telios was not there to harm her and made a point of removing it and placing it on a stand she had off to the side. ”Good morning Telios-san,” she said as she turned with a smile to greet her fellow God.

"Good morning, Koritomo..-san," he said a little awkwardly as he stood up, not used to the "san" part, "I wanted to visit with you today and discuss the future..Wouldn't you come for a ride in my chariot as we..discuss..?" As he finished, the bright yellow phoenix flew over to Koritomo, did a couple of spirals in the air and landed on her shoulder. It was a beautiful creature and shone brilliantly in the room.

Koritomo brought her hand up and gently ran her fingers along the creature’s shining feathers. She had always envied Telios’s Phoenixes, but had never made mention of the fact simply because she had some beautiful creatures within her lands. ”It would be rude of me to refuse,” she replied with a small smile on her face, it was clear that she really did like the creature that had made her shoulder it’s perch, ”It has been some time since I have seen those lovely Griffins of your’s after all.” Telios smiled.

Though lovely wasn't the word he'd use to describe it, the god of war had the right to use the adjective of her choice. Telios began walking outdoors with Koritomo toward the stables where the griffins were being kept. He turned to his companion and said, "They are completely at your beck and call now."

Koritomo raised a brow, wondering why he had brought so many, and what exactly he had meant by them being at her beck and call. However, it did not take her very long to come to her own conclusion, which prompted her to turn to the Sun God with a curious look on her face. "A gift?" she questioned, "And if that is indeed the case I am afraid that I have nothing ready for you to reciprocate such a wonderful thing you have allowed me to have."

Telios shook his head and smiled, "No need! All I ask is that you take a ride with me in my chariot above your lands." Telios whistled and two pegasil dragging a golden sun chariot trotted towards them. He stepped inside. The chariot was much larger then his current 7ft frame inhabited. He laughed at the comical sight and reached his hand out to help Koritomo aboard.

The young Goddess accepted the help that was offered as she boarded the chariot, rather curious to know exactly what business he wished to discuss with her during the upcoming ride that would call for such an extravagant gift as the Griffins he had given to her. Out of the gods that currently existed, she was the most recent to be born, the daughter of War and life. Where her father had been the sword of war, she had taken up the mantle of shield thanks to her mother's influence. Her own honor drove her to protect those that needed it, and punish those who deserved it.

After Koritomo boarded, Telios took the reigns of the pegasil and bid them to ascend. They began running forward and flapping their large wings. After a few seconds they were airborne. A few minutes after that they were high in the sky, overlooking Koritomo's dwelling place. Pleased with his creature's Telios breathed in the fresh air and spoke to his companion, "Beautiful view, isn't it?" He waited for her to respond and continued, "The reason I wanted to talk with you is to pursue your hand..in marriage." He turned to her to see her response finishing, "There is no other woman on earth as beautiful as you are. Your skill with weapons, and war is unparalleled and I would be honored to call you my wife." Telios was a very upfront individual, he wasn't playing games and was dead serious about his intentions. Very bold in his approach.

There was nothing but silence for some time, Koritomo's expression a mask as her mind began to turn over the words that he had said to her. The idea that someone wanted her hand in marriage was a bit confusing to her, she was young, still well in the phase of proving to everyone that she was a Goddess of War to be trusted. There was also the fact that he had gone so far as to compliment her capabilities on the battlefield as well as her ability to handle her weapons, but she wasn't sure she was ready for marriage of any kind just yet. "You want me to marry you," she finally said, her voice shockingly even, "I must admit that I was not expecting you to ask such a thing, but I hope that you understand that I need some time to consider your request as it is not something to take lightly."

Telios listened intently to the god of war. He nodded as she described her feelings to the sun god. When finished he replied lightly, "I understand if you need some time to think about everything. You are a capable god and I support your position in the pantheon." They continued for another half hour enjoying the clouds and shining scenery. The phoenix flew about in perfect tranquility. It burst into flames high above the air putting on a show for the gods.

Afterward,they landed back on the ground. Telios got out and attempted to help Koritomo get down. He reached out to kiss her hand. Afterward, he said, "Thank you for coming with me. Think about what I said and I will be sure to visit with you again." He waited for her reply and asked about his son, "How is Telos' training coming along? Is he listening like I've told him?"

Koritomo accepted his help on the dismount and nodded her head in response to his question. "He is learning fast and well," she told the God, "You are welcome to go to the Bushi Dojo within the city to visit him as training begins at sunrise." The young Goddess was relieved that he had not attempted to pressure her any further and had accepted her response. The ride had been lovely and she was rather pleased that her day seemed to start out well enough, though she soon had to deal with some diplomatic things. "I can have an attendant lead you to the Dojo if you would like, I am afraid that I have other things I must attend to soon, new arrivals and such."

Telios agreed to her offer stating, "I would like that." He let the attendant take him to the dojo to watch his son fight. The phoenix stayed near Koritomo. It knew she was its' new master. Telios waved as he headed off. The day started off well. He was confident Koritomo would soon fall for him. After all, who could resist his pure light? Maybe Oao. The future looked promising.

Gods: Redux: a Deity RP (FULL)

Telios - The Sun Lord

Name: Telios - The Sun Lord

Gender: Male

Appearance:

Telios' mortal form

Telios' war form

Telios stands at fourteen feet tall, weighing 1,300 pounds. He has a powerful muscular build with blonde shoulder length hair and piercing hazel eyes. His skin tone is tanned. On his right shoulder is a large sun tattoo.

Personality: Telios is a very confident and bold god. He speaks directly, wanting communication to be precise and to the point. He doesn't deal in uncertainty; preferring things to be set in stone. Just as the sun illuminates all things, so he makes his intentions perfectly clear. If he dislikes someone, he tells them to their face. If he falls in love, you'd better believe they're going to hear about it. And he does not give up easily. He likes to watch and partake in elaborate games, testing strength, will and passion. Telios enjoys a good party, loving a good time. He is always on the lookout for the perfect bride and currently had his eyes set on the Goddess of War. He likes getting people to work together for common goals. Telios is protective and caring to the those he loves. If another crosses one of them, he will not hesitate to offer his full support and strike the aggressor/s down with a vengeance. He is bored by politics, but realizes there is a time and place for it. Telios feels a sense of duty towards the throne after his father's demise and believes himself to be the rightful heir to the throne. He harbors certain feelings of resentment toward those who warred against Ephra. He tries not to let it effect his actions towards them often.

Major Domain: The Sun.

Minor Domains: The Sky and Purity.

Weaknesses: Telios' major weaknesses are; intrigue, deceit and plots. He sees things from a very upfront view, rarely being able to discern the hidden intentions of the heart. Despite being able to easily illuminate and eliminate direct threats (physical, magical etc.), Telios' status as firstborn heir has blinded him to the threats, trickery, and conspiracies that others frequently utilize.

If other's conspired against him, without the help of faithful allies, his light could be snuffed out. That isn't to say that he is stupid. Only that if someone he trusts or believes to have good intentions turns on him, he would be blindsided by it. Another weakness of his is that any wounds he receives in his human or war form cannot be healed simply by turning into light. God weapons are able to wound him even in his ethereal light form. While in his war form, Telios expends a fair amount of energy and is not able to stay in it longer then a day at a time.

Your Avatar:

The Phoenix

is the most perfect creation of Telios' domain. He spent many years trying to perfect it until it was finally fashioned. A being made of pure sunlight, yet is able to maintain a physical form through condensing its' energy. It is the only creature that receives all of its' sustenance from the sun. Having no need for prey. The phoenix's size, weight and wingspan differs anywhere from a few feet, fifty pounds to forty-five feet and thousands of pounds.

The real strengths' the phoenix possesses is in its' speed, power and rebirth abilities. Its' normal speed is that of the fastest birds of prey. When it is in its' ignited form, however, it is able to reach speeds of hundreds of miles per hour. It's abilities include; flapping it's wings to create blasts of super heated flames, melting solid objects with its' talons into liquid, and even reverting into a light form to fly underwater, albeit unable to produce its' signature flame. It can also slam into enemies directly. The fastest of dive bombers. It explodes upon impact with devastating, purifying light/flame to the immediate area. Afterward, out of the ashes, it will rise again in a smaller form.

It is extremely hard to destroy, due to it constantly rising out of the ashes that it turns into after death. Because of the domain of purity, it is able to burn corruption, death, undeath and darkness with an even greater ferocity. If one is able to entrap, submerge or eliminate the ashes a phoenix rises from, it can be defeated. It takes roughly a week for the Avatar Pheonix to regain its' full size, though if Telios empowers it, the avatar can be reformed within an hour.

Stance: Being the firstborn of Ephra has given Telios a sense of duty. He believes that he must take on the burden of leadership that his father once had. After all, the firstborn is next in the line of succession. Though he believes the pantheon should look much different. Starting with him as the head with a similarly powered, close line of upper gods. Followed by the regular ones.

Loyalty During the Rebellion: Telios was an adamant supporter of King Ephra. He fought directly by his side leading many of his own against the usurpers.

Center of Power:

The sun sphere

is the size of a softball colored with a glowing yellow/orange flame as bright as the sun itself. It is housed within Telios' temple within the city of Dawn.

Relations:
Allies: Nature(!), Stars(^), Storms(?), Fertility(?), Knowledge(?), Dragons(!), Justice(^), Predator(!)
Friends: War, Mankind, Life, Hunt, Creation
Neutral: Sea, Death, Lust, Underworld/Death?, Sorrows, Forge, Dream, Moon
Dislikes: Corruption, Darkness, Mischief, Murder, Fire, Ice
Hostile: Undeath

Powers: Telios is a powerful being of light and purity. Trained by his father Ephra in the art of war and command, he institutes his experiences in battle. Telios is able to perform clever tactics, outwitting his enemies in a fight through feints, mind games and field control.

He uses the power of light combined with purity to banish undeath, darkness and other forms of blight through light and purity. This light can span from a few degrees to thousands depending on the concentration and energy used. His preferred method of attack is from the sky in his personal chariot carried by summoned pegasil. There he can rain down flashes and beams of concentrated light which incinerate objects beneath like heat lasers. He can fly without the chariot, but he prefers to ride alongside his soldiers in similar fashion.

He can fashion energy into miniature suns which explode on impact in a fusion reaction. These can cause enormous destruction beneath. His light can illuminate the darkest of forces as well as pierce through powerful illusions, magical or otherwise. His piercing light sees through the deception.

Solar flare is an ability he can use to blind all manner of enemies with the brightest light imaginable. Even gods are effected by it, and sight is severely limited to them. While in war form, he can keep his solar flare active blinding enemies and allies alike. He can move at extremely fast speeds, turning himself into light to almost teleport across the land and sky.

His skill with the gladius and hoplite shield are nothing to be underestimated either. Telios is able to fight with his preferred weapons at masterful levels. Almost rivaling War in his ability.

Concerning defense, Telios is able to form bubbles of hard-light energy that displace physical and magical attacks to a certain strength. His shield burns and deflects most normal attacks before they reach him and as a fallback, his armor can burn the rest. When in combat the intense heat that emanates from himself and his equipment can reach the levels of the sun. Due to his sky domain, he is able to levitate and move objects around him in a large radius.

Godly Equipment: Telios' equipment consists of; a gladius sword, hoplite shield, helmet, and a full set of armor. All of these items are made with the densest materials and powerful light Telios is capable of creating. His gladius sword, armor and shield are able to reach degrees as hot as the sun itself while he releases his energy in war form. His sword can cut through just about anything the heat of a star could, imbued with purity essence. Telios can also send out beams of light from his gladius sword that burn beings and gods alike. The width of these beams is about a foot in diameter. They move at the speed of light, able to reach their targets extremely fast. His shield burns and repels attacks that reach him, while his armor protects him as a last resort.

Demi Gods:
First son: Telos was born from one of Telios' own people. He stands 9 ft tall and weighs approx 350 pounds. He is 19 years of age. He is currently training with the goddess of war to learn better skills in combat and to rule with his father. He has a inward, ambitious personality. He rarely sees eye to eye with his father, though he does respect him. He has most of the abilities of his father, albeit much lesser in power. his desire is to one day become a God himself.

Name of your Land: Solas

Lands:

The Plains

Cliffside

Solas is a land of plains, rivers, mountains and a vast expanse of open sky. There is only day within Solas, no night. Rivers run through large portions of the land. In the center of the land are huge mountains that can be seen from all around. At the top of the highest mountain is the capital city of Dawn. The Sun God temple is in this city. Here is where politics and riches are in full motion. One of its' greatest attractions is "The Sky Games." There are many cliff faces and scenic views from the heights of the mountains, along with watchtowers and flying creature aviaries. These aviaries are where the creatures of prey are kept and bred for war. At the base of the mountains, are valleys that larger bodies of water rest at, flowing into rivers across the plains. These plains span in a circular radius from the valleys in every direction forming a circle around them, in the shape of the sun. There are many towns, cities and ranches spanning the plains. All the materials of the land were created by Telios, besides water. These materials were imbued with the essence of his light within them. This results in minerals, plains, rivers and all other objects within his realm to have the essence of purity within them.

People:

The Sun Folk

The main intelligent race of Solas are the Sun Folk. They are a race of humanoids that derive their sustenance directly from sunlight and water. They are slightly wider and bulkier in girth then typical humans and are tougher then the average human. They sport yellow/orange like skin. They were created by the purest of essences of light Telios had available. This results in a race that is incorruptible by outside forces. They do not sleep, but bask in the glow of the sun to refresh themselves. If they do not receive their natural food/water they will perish over time.

Culture: The Sun Folk are builders, warriors, artisans and craftsmen. They have no need for food so they dedicate that time to building great works as well as training the creatures of the land. They enjoy competition and often watch and play within The Sky Games. They forge equipment and weapons from materials imbued with Telios' light. All things made from Solas are made with essence of light. This gives all buildings, goods, materials and other crafted objects a certain golden gleam to them. The architecture of the Sun Folk is that of a Greco-Roman bent. Columns, pillars and the like. There is a class system of sorts; the upper, middle and lower. Since all needs are met by the sun, there is rarely any animosity for differing classes. Everyone is capable of raising themselves and their families through merit.

Technology: The technology level of Solas is that of a late Roman era of civilization before the dark ages. Their charioteers and pegasil riders are able to take to the skies and rain down arrows of fire and light. All weapons, armor and equipment are imbued directly with the essence of purity and light of Telios. This allows them to withstand greater punishment, especially from darker forces. On the offense, their weapons are imbued with this same energy which makes defeating dark forces easier. Everything is stamped with the symbol of the sun.

Capital: The Capital of Solas is

Dawn

Telios inhabits a large temple above the top of the center most mountain overlooking all of Solas. This temple is an enormous acropolis. It is able to land on the earth and float in the air. In order to reach it in the air, one must climb to the top of the highest mountain and be lifted up by a beam of light. Underneath are vast expanses of buildings lining the the flat top of the mountain. Here, the Sun Folk's aristocrats discuss politics, war, and governance of the land that Telios' is bored by. He is informed only of the most important of matters.

The Sky Games

are one of the greatest attractions of Dawn. Here all manner of sports ranging from; combative, racing, archery, lifting, and magic are played. Great warriors, magicians and many other athletes compete for great wealth and honor. In recent years, Telios has decreed that other nations and gods are welcome to compete in The Sky Games. With this he hopes to improve comradeship among the fractured gods. Only those who are neutral, friendly or allies of The Sun Lord are welcome to attend.

Beings: Other beings that inhabit the land of Solas are phoenixes, griffins, pegasil, hawks, eagles and countless other creatures of the air. On the ground are the main food of the predators; the sun bison. They roam the plains and eat of the grass of the fields. Large animals with tusks. They give a plentiful amount of meat to the hunter creatures. For warfare, trained griffins are given armor and used in combat. They are ferocious beasts, with the speed of an eagle, but the strength of a lion. Pegasil are used by scouts, cavalry and even for use domestically. They make for a very effective means of travel. The phoenix is the most intelligent of the creatures and follows its' creator's voice very closely, obeying his will.

Gabriel nodded to the apparent leader of the group and made way to take his leave remarking, "Thank you very much for looking into this for me. I'm sure we will be in touch." He took out a business card with his number and name on it Gabriel Hammond.

He stepped out side the door and out towards the car. He had an apparent grin on his face. Everything seemed to be going exactly as planned. "The Rockers will soon be taken out..then we will have our chance." He thought to his partners.

@Banana@solokolos@Xandrya

Judah listened to the woman intently. She helped relieve any regrets he had at revealing his identity so soon. He shook her hand firmly. At the mention of "personal matters" Judah replied, "It depends what they are," he said matter of fact, "If its' within reason we will help you."

Farce made some more remarks that Judah mostly tried to ignore, particularly her Romeo comment. When it came to joining up Judah spoke out, "Having someone with your abilities on our side would be a real asset. Once we have a background check, resume, drug test, and three solid references we can begin the process." He paused for effect and continued with a grin, "Just kidding, welcome to the team!"

One Piece: New Horizons!

Captain Cedric D. Boone - Krabbe Battle! VIII

Though his shot wasn't as effective as he had hoped, the "piercing shot" had struck true. If they could keep up the pressure that thing could be taken down. Caesar had been knocked back with a nasty hit. Bonesword had taken to the air with his own ability.

The monster yelled the Captain's name and fired its' pistols at him multiple times. Boone was barely able to avoid the shots as multiple bullets slammed into the railing, another tore through the outer layer of his coat and one even shot his hat clean off his head! Unfortunately, the last shot appeared unavoidable. Cedric braced himself as it penetrated into his side. A stinging pain shot through him as he clutched the wound with one hand. The bleeding wasn't so bad yet. He looked at the hole for a moment and quietly muttered, "You're going to regret that.."

There was no helping it, the only way to take this thing down quickly would be to utilize his experimental ammunition. The untested explosive shot. There was no telling how little or how much damage the ammo could produce. For all he knew, it could end up blowing up in his face. But he had to try.

Captain Cedric loaded the large glowing ball into his blunderbuss and yelled out, "EVERYONE, GET AWAY FROM IT!" He waited until he knew everyone had ample time to move. The pain had become more intense and the bleeding worse. The Shrimp's bullets were not to be messed with. Cedric grimaced in pain, stood up, and fired at the Shrimp Brigade's lower half with the intention of limiting the use of its' limbs and to give Bonesword a free attack at its' head. It sailed through the air like a grenade towards the shrimp's body.
