Vega

Two Sides of the Same Coin

Emrys had been running for so long that his chest burned as he struggled to breathe. Each breath was nothing more than a pained gasp, and he found himself stumbling into trees and over rocks, his legs weak and shaky. He had been collecting herbs in the forest surrounding the Druid camp when he had been spotted by a group of bandits. He had flashed his eyes gold when they attempted to rob him, hoping that the threat of magic would be enough to scare them off, but it had had the opposite effect. Now they wanted him as well as his belongings.

"Get back here!" one of the bandits shouted, and in response Emrys pushed himself to run faster. His vision was growing blurry, black spots dancing in front of his eyes, and he knew he wouldn't be able to run much longer.

I can't keep going like this. I have to hide and make sure they don't find me this time. Just as that thought crossed his mind, he heard a soft whistling noise, and a moment later sharp pain erupted from his right shoulder. He let out a cry of shock and stumbled forward, his left hand reaching up to touch his shoulder. He felt the body of an arrow sticking out of his skin, and when he pulled his hand back he blanched at the sight of green-tinged blood. Poison. They wanted him alive, so he knew the poison wasn't life-threatening, but it was enough to render him unconscious, and he did not want to see what the bandits had in store for him if they managed to catch him.

Biting his lip to stifle any further groans of pain, Emrys veered to the right, tumbling down a small hill. He ended up sprawled on his back in the middle of a small clearing, the world around him spinning. He heard the bandits coming from above him, and he rolled onto his stomach, wincing at the pain the motion caused. His movements were becoming sluggish as the poison coursed through his veins, and he used the last of his energy to drag himself beneath an overhang, hidden behind thick foliage. The last thing he saw before he fainted was the group of bandits running by.

@rocketrobie2 So if my strength stat was 8 and I was rolling for strength, a -1 modifier would be added to make it 7?

My Hero Academia: Of Gods and Men

Shin had been fiddling with his earrings while waiting for the go-ahead to demonstrate his quirk’s abilities. He had a black circular stud in each earlobe, and three black rings running up the sides of both ears. He had a bad habit of tugging on them when he was bored, but the pain was grounding to him, so he continued to do it even when told to stop.

“All right Shin, let’s see your Quirk in action.” Shin looked over at Arthur and nodded, but was interrupted by Viper, who turned out to be a young boy named Luke. The vampire watched the interactions with a blank expression, patiently waiting for them to finish so that he could begin.

"Sorry for the delay. Please proceed." Shin turned his gaze to the Rock Knights. His red eyes flashed, and he suddenly vanished, a harsh wind left in his wake. He reappeared next to one of the Rock Knights and slashed at it, his claws slicing through the stone like a knife through butter. He was not actually teleporting, but rather moving so quickly that it was impossible for normal eyes to track his movements. After cutting down the first Rock Knight he spun around to face the second, curling his right hand into a fist and punching a hole straight through the rock. The skin on his knuckles ripped open, blood trickling down his hand, but he paid it no mind. Instead he moved on to the next Rock Knight, jumping abnormally high into the air and aiming a kick at its head, knocking the body part clear off its shoulders and landing in a crouched defensive position when he came down. It was clear that he had been practicing his fighting skills even before coming to UA.

The vampire took out the rest of the Rock Knights in a similar fashion, though he decided to show off when it came to the last one. He leapt at the final Rock Knight, tackling it to the ground, and dug his fangs into its neck, ripping out its earthy flesh so hard that the head crumbled. If it had been a human, they would have died from blood loss almost instantly, as he had aimed straight for the jugular.

Shin stood up and spit the dirt from his mouth before licking the blood from his knuckles, the injury knitting itself shut as he did so. Despite having bitten into solid rock, his fangs were undamaged, glinting slightly in the bright sunlight as he licked his hand clean. He said nothing as he returned to his backpack, his expression impassive once again. He hadn’t noticed it, but while fighting the Rock Knights, his blood red eyes had been shining with excitement, and a gleefully cruel smirk had twisted his lips. It was an alarming display of ferocity, but Shin had no experience controlling the animal within him, the creature that takes over when he uses his quirk. He would need careful guidance in order to keep from accidentally hurting someone.
