Yu☆Gi☆Oh!: Outriders

<Snipped quote by Amaranthine>

Figured it was aimed at everyone there and not just me. Was mostly waiting to see what the others thought.

Honestly don't really have an answer for you, though. Getting 4 people to be online at roughly the same time for a collab is a pretty big nightmare as-is, but if you feel you don't have enough to work with for a post, then that comes down to me giving you a poor opener.

Yeah, getting everyone online might be a bit of a challenge. I thought that there was enough there to write some sort of post, but I won't be able to toss anything up till around Wednesday (Lots of deadlines Tuesday for work and shit).

There are two questions I have, that would probably be best determined by group think: Should the bike be fixed, and should we use this as an opportunity to duel? If I remember right, duel runners are in part powered by duel energy or some shit like that, so a duel to kickstart it and get it back to normal might make sense? Would also sort of start things off with some action and resting out some Turbo Dueling in the RP.

Yu☆Gi☆Oh!: Outriders

Don't think a Discord would be very beneficial, honestly. Been in plenty that have them, but they just distract from posting usually. Only thing I find Discord helpful for is answering questions timely and having collaborative convos, but I think that's more up to people's discretion whether they want to talk on something like Discord privately or through the PM system here.

As for a starting scenario, I think testing out some Duel Runners while the rest of the gang is doing something else (splitting the open to have some sort of action) might be a good way to kick things off. It'll evenly divide the players if everyone who can Turbo duel takes the Duel Runners out and the rest are back at base, leaving 3 in each place right now. Only issue I see there is guiding some form of action or event at the base to make it similarly exciting or at least create conditions for a story to start there, which the introduction of a new member to the gang could do.

Not anywhere near my best post, but I wanted to get something out there because it has been a crazy ass month. Hopefully the new installment isn't too confusing. Isolation has muddled my ability to tell how sane my writing is.

_{Interaction(s): None}

Previously: Issue 1.01.03: Come Fly with Me

Stark stood shocked as his eyes scanned every inch of the contraption that was standing over six and a half feet tall at the end of the hallway. The machine had the general visage of a man, if one had exposed gold wiring and swords for hands. The chest remained covered with a golden hoplite cuirass, with a matching golden Athenian helmet that revealed only two blue glowing lights underneath. To anyone other than Anthony Edward Stark, this machine would be impressive and intimidating to some degree. The billionaire inventor turned his gaze towards the business mogul. "What is this?"

Midas didn't even bother to look in Tony's direction, as he was too busy beaming over the machine. "This... this is my personal security force! I call them the Centurions... even if the name isn't historically accurate." Midas finally turned to recognize Tony, and instinctively took a step towards his machine when he noticed the bored expression. "Do you not see the resemblances to your own creation? You have no idea how many engineers I had to hire to create-"

"A poor imitation?"

Midas ground his teeth at the remark, shaking his head as he turned his back to Stark and kept walking down the tight hallway. The right wall, floor, and ceiling were all colored gold... or rather, consisted of gold, if JARVIS' readings were correct. The left hand wall, however, had a floor-to-ceiling reinforced glass window that showed off the local flora and fauna under the sea. Fish zoomed in between the long strands of seaweed that floated up towards the surface. A much more fascinating view as Tony kept pace behind Mordecai Midas, who broke the temporary silence.

"Did you fly all the way here to insult my creations, Mr. Stark?"

Tony's gaze turned back towards Midas, who had suddenly stopped to look out at the sea himself. "Not quite... I came to see your facility and where exactly-"

"Bullshit, Mr. Stark." Tony's jaw slacked in surprise as Midas continued looking out at the sea before him. "In all the years I've invested in your enterprises, you've never once bothered to ask where the gold plating and wiring had come from. Now, out of the blue and on a moment's notice, you want to fly out here with your chief of security to get a 'tour' of my factory... Please stop insulting my intelligence."

Tony stood in silence for a moment, his own gaze turning out towards the sea. He was talking to one of the few men on Earth far richer than he was, and an important business partner for Stark Unlimited. Tact was key here: unfortunately, tact was one of the few skills that Tony Stark could never learn. "I came here to find out why you would try and hack our systems, Midas."

Mordecai's eyebrows raised, before the large man turned and looked with shock towards Tony. "Wh... What are you even talking about?"

Tony grit his teeth as he pulled his phone from his pocket with his free hand, his other still clutching the heavy briefcase. With a single button tap and a flick of his phone, the cameras and lights on the back produced a holographic projection in the space between the two billionaires. Projected were a copy of the email that had been intercepted, and a string of code with an IP address highlighted in red. "Whoever you hired to try and sabotage the Iron Legion project left a little something behind that traces itself back to this very facility. Care to explain how that happened?"

Midas shook his head, rubbing his temples. "Why would I sabotage your project, Tony?" Without giving him any time to answer, Midas continued. "I've invested millions of dollars into this without a single question! You made a call for investors, and I answered. I've even provided your project enough gold to buy myself another island, just because you said you needed it. And now you come here and accuse me of sabotaging your project?!"

Tony gave almost no breathing room for Midas as he began shouting back his response. "Then explain to me why the IP address is connected to one of your servers! How could that have happened? Who could have done that?"

"I don't... oh no." Midas' gaze fell to his hand as he took a couple steps away from Stark, his eyes wide with sudden shock and realization. "You... you need to leave. Now." Midas' command was firm, his jaw tightening as his firm gaze returned to Stark.

Tony's grip tightened around his briefcase, his voice lower but firm. "Who did this, Midas? I just need a name."

Midas merely shook his head. "He'll kill me if I tell you... Centurions! Get Mr. Stark out of here!" With that, Midas turned his back to Tony and began walking away.

Tony heard the sound of metal colliding with metal in rhythm as the Centurion behind him approached. As Tony began to turn to walk back the way he had come, he noticed the Centurion kept walking past him. He could have sworn for a fraction of a second he had even seen the once blue eyes had turned a dark red. Of course, that was the least of Stark's concerns when he saw the Centurion raise it's right arm blade up and point directly towards Midas. In an instant, Tony muttered under his breath. "Arm me."

To Tony, time seemed to slow down. In that moment, the large briefcase handle began shifting and molding around his hand while shifting color into a red. As it was finishing locking in place, he raised his hand with his palm facing outward towards the robot's head. A whirring sound filled the space as the disk in the suit of armor on Tony's left palm lit up and then released a blast of energy. As the short beam of light escaped his hand and shot through the Centurion's helmet, the machine was able to get a quick swipe along Midas' back.

With the machine out of order, Tony kicked the briefcase while muttering, "JARVIS, zip me up." Within moments, the briefcase began to unfold and unpack with metal stacking on top of metal to reveal the front half of a lightweight Iron Man suit. The inventor stepped in, and extra metal plating slid around Stark to engulf him entirely within the suit. It took another two seconds for the eye-pieces of the suit to glow yellow as the Heads Up Display began showcasing various statistics about the suit's power levels, arsenal, and general information about Tony's surroundings. As Tony's gaze fell upon Midas, an orange rotating circle surrounded Midas for a moment before displaying basic bio-metric readings and a tag in bold red letters: Needs Medical Assistance.

Tony rushed forward towards Midas, his footsteps echoing and clanking down the gold-plated hallway. He was quite a bit faster in the suit, able to bridge the thirty foot distance in a few bounds. Despite spending quite some time out of the armor, using it was like riding a bike. Iron Man knelt down next to Mordecai Midas, who was grunting and groaning as blood had poured out of the open wound to pool around where he was lying down. Tony's voice came from a speaker on the outside of the armor's faceplate, the quality a little garbled. "Midas, what's going on?"

Iron Man turned the business mogul slightly to see his face, and the look of fear shone through the painful grimace. "You... you can't stop him, Stark. He'll get us all."

Before Tony could say anything further, Midas began screaming and convulsing. It took the hero a couple seconds before he could see exactly why: coming from somewhere on Midas' left side, his skin was changing color into a rather bright yellow hue. As the color changed, Midas' movements became rigid, and within those seconds he could no longer scream. Tony had only removed his armored hand from Midas to realize that his former business partner had been transformed into a statue of pure gold. While the man knelt in silent shock, the mechanical voice in his ear spoke up as a new circle focused on Midas' left hand. "Sir, I saw a strange burst of energy coming from Mr. Midas' left hand. It appears to be coming from a..."

"A ring." The inventor couldn't help but exclaim the obvious as he saw a small golden ring with green trimmings and markings. Iron Man pulled off the ring from the statue's finger, it seeming to strangely glide off with ease. He lowered it towards his waist, where a small container opened up to hold the ring before closing back into the armor.

As Tony opened his mouth to speak, loud sirens began wailing as red warning lights on the walls flashed. A female, almost robotic voice began calling out over the speakers. "WARNING! WARNING! PLEASE EVACUATE IMMEDIATELY! OCEAN WATER DETECTED! WARNING!" The voice repeated the warning in Greek, before continuing to repeat the warning while alternating between the two languages. Tony Stark sighed.

"Alright JARVIS, let's see just how waterproof I made this thing."

Yu☆Gi☆Oh!: Outriders

I personally would prefer for some opening scenario ideas to be tossed out. I don't think waiting for people to put up characters matters much for the ideas at least to be tossed out.

Yu☆Gi☆Oh!: Outriders

yo its been brought to my attention that letting Charak run 3 banned cards might be a bit much (Pot of Greed, Graceful Charity, Return from a Different Dimension)

Tell me if y'all think the same way real quick. Wouldn't want to be sloppy in my deck checking, but I do miss stuff from time to time.

@Ammokkx

Not very concerned, honestly. Return seems most useful, but having two banned draw cards might be much. If people are real concerned, I think dropping Pot of Greed would be best case, because I think I can see the purpose of Graceful Charity in this deck.

Kato Seiji

Name:
Kato Seiji

Age:
20

Gender:

Male

Appearance:

Kato Seiji is somewhat large for someone living in the Collar, standing near 6 ft. and of a much larger build. He's more muscular from his time working in the scrapyards and performing a lot of physical labor before and after joining the Bulwark Breakers. His red hair is a spiky mess held together with a lot of engine grease and a set of goggles that usually rest on his forehead. His arms are usually bandaged up to cover the burn marks along his arms from a few too many incidents with welding equipment, while a criminal mark underneath his left eye marks a run in with the law a few years ago. Kato is usually scene wearing a red tank top covered in grease stains, and a pair of tan workman's pants with steel-toed boots. His knees are covered with kneepads, and holding his pants up is a utility belt that typically holds both a few tools and two holsters: one for his normal deck, and one for his turbo deck.

Personality:

The primary means of describing Kato is "laser-focused." When Kato has a goal, he can focus on little else. Unfortunately, this means that everything else falls by the wayside. He can be a bit messy, but it's usually not from laziness: he just forgets to clean up after himself. Whether he's building more duel disks to give out to kids in the area or tuning up a duel runner, you would be hard pressed to find a dull minute in Kato's day. At the end of the day, though, Kato is a rather kind soul. He donated a duel runner he fixed up after he was freed for the gang's general use, and often offers any technical support he can with duel disks or any other gadgets lying around.

Following his time incarcerated, Kato has built up a significant distrust of District Security. What he once saw as a necessary balance has appeared more recently as an extension of the power and corruption that lead to his father's exile. District Security wasn't able to stop the Doomraisers, and they definitely won't be able to stop Kato Seiji from getting into the Core. He is also incredibly slow in trusting others, another unfortunate byproduct of Kato's time behind bars. He is a little paranoid around newer members of the Bulwark Breakers, with only the original members of the gang having as close to his complete trust as they can get.

In terms of dueling style, Kato is less of a confident duelist and more of an arrogant one. His laser focused mentality is heavily geared towards hurting an opponent's life points as much as possible... which doesn't exactly anticipate strategy a lot of the time. Kato has even walked into obvious traps or failed to recognize plays he could have made. He's learning to be more strategic in his dueling, but it's hard to teach a junkyard dog new tricks.

History:

Kato's father, Sho, never thought he would end up in the Collar. In fact, up until the year before his son was born, Kato Sho was a well respected engineer inside the Core. The problem was, when you have a shining reputation, that just means it's easier to topple it over. Kato Seiji's father never explained how exactly he managed to fall from grace and end up working as a supervisor within The Valve, nor why someone would do such a thing. No matter how much prodding and poking Seiji has done, his father refuses to budge any further on the matter. Especially not on what happened to his mother.

Kato was practically born and raised with his father's inquisitive mind and talent with machines. After his father's long days at work, a young Kato would receive instruction from his father that was geared towards studying mathematics and the fundamentals of science. As Kato grew up, he would sleep through the early day so that he could wake up in the afternoon to make his way to Clockwork to go scrapping. His nights were dedicating to studying up until he was a teenager, when the boy was itching for more practical learning. The father and son managed to build a duel runner together over the course of four years with supplies that Seiji had scrapped together. An illegal one that got Seiji locked up for taking it for a test drive against his father's wishes.

His own father fell deep into his work during Kato's time in prison. Kato then learned the hard way of the bitter nature of The Collar: his future had been ruined. He found himself illegible to work in The Collar, instead forced to live his life scrapping. Not wanting to be a burden on his father, whose life had already fallen apart, the boy made himself a small hideout in Clockwork where he could create a small workshop for putting together Scrap into something useful. Kato had actually managed to create quite a racket by fixing scrapped duel disks he found in the scrap yards and selling them off for meal rations and Duel Monster cards. Of course, the noise only attracted the Doomraisers, who began extorting Kato for duel disks and a cut of his profits. It was only natural that when Takuma started fighting back against the Doomraisers that Kato was one of the first in line to fall in line to win back Clockwork.
