OOC: Loa Blood

[RoyalPurpleVelv]

I'm thinking about what I'm going to post next Kryna certainly can't be there when the cops come around.

 

[SwampThing]

Nice, Velvet, thanks for that.

Incidently, Kryna and Nikki will have entered the country illegally. Nikki is wanted by her own government, and Kryna is wanted in several countries.

Damien, on the other hand, was supposed to be here guarding the shipment. He is also somewhat of a public figure, being Draconian nobility with a highly visible Loa gift.

Dex's assignment here could be either official or covert, whatever you want, Spectral.

All of you have hotel rooms in Bay City.

 

[SwampThing]

Kryna will be away for about a week, so please carry on without her.

This thread could still use more characters!

 

[SpectralDragoon]

Sorry folks, been busy with a motorcycle course the past couple of days. It's been long hours but a blaaaaast so far. Gotta take a skill test tomorrow, if I pass it then DMV waives the roadtest and I'll get my license in the mail in a few weeks. w00t! hehe

 

[SwampThing]

Hey, I'm going to be switching towns tomorrow, and I'm not really sure what my internet access is going to be like for the next few days.

Please let your characters get to know each other, but save the meeting with the police until I get back. If you want, everyone could be coincidentally staying at the same hotel, but I'd rather avoid too many easy coincidences.

If you're really ambitious, have a couple of Killer Bee agents follow you from the dock, looking for payback. You know now what they're like, how they fight, and how easy they are to take out.

I'll check in as often as I can. Sorry about this, and please stay with the thread, I really like what everyone is doing.

 

[Bigbadtiger]

Well if you have one more I'd like to join.

Name: Reptor
Age: Since his "Re-Birth" 3
Race: Creation/Human of Argos
Hair: None
Eye's: Blood Red
INFO: From Repticulous's Confidential folder it is said that his Human half was the Best special forces soldier the Argos Military had. He was asked and agreeded to undertake a dangerous experiment with Loa Blood. A Scienetist named Valdamir was the head of the project, and he began to first stages of the experiment. The Experiment was to create the Perfect being, and one that the Loa Religous Fanatics would worship, with them holding the strings of the so called Messiah. The Human did not know of this part of the project so they knew they would have to brain wash him, unfortunately they had instead erased in memory. Believeing this actually helped them for they're plans they continued the project. The first was a fuseing of assorted reptiles still alive such as: Crocodilles, Snakes, and Lizards. Then they Fused his body with cells from a T-Rex and a Dragon's bio Cell's. When they were finished they had succeeded in giving the being an wide assortment of ability's: The Strength of a T-Rex, The Speed and Quickness of a snake, The Ability to be able to live in almost any enviroment and the Wings and Fire Breath of a Dragon. He was the perfect fusion of all that Argos had learned about the Loas and they're Bio-Technology. The problem was there was a flaw and a serious flaw at that, He transformed from Human to Reptor and the change was Chaotic and unpredictable. Even with this flaw the Argos military believed he would do fine, until Valdamir who was a Loa-Faithful had arranged the escape of Reptor. During Reptors escape the Loa Faithful attempted to capture Reptor but he was too strong and now he's on the run everything it seems is trying to capture him, and he is trying to capture his past. All the while trying to gain control of his transformations.

 

[RoyalPurpleVelv]

I'm baaaaaaaack

Ok I'm back, but my puter is acting up, so if I dissapear again blame Bill Gates.

Congrats Spectral wanna give me a ride *wink*

Kryna will be staying in the same hotel as Dex and Hotaru

 

[SpectralDragoon]

hehe, thanks Velvet, and welcome back.

sure, once I figure out what I'm doing, I'll give ya a ride lol.

 

[SwampThing]

Hey, great stuff. Really glad people stuck around.

BigBadTiger, I love the character. He seems a little overpowered for right now though. I'd like a lot of the power you describe to be potential that he hasn't yet figured out how to use. Start him out small and let him develop (as the challenges are going to be small at first, and grow). Play up the lack of control, and I think he's fine, jump right in. Probably at the insane asylum scene, described below.

Okay, here are some possibilities:

1. The Loa buyer arrives at the hotel, looking for his Bee connection. The guy is a slimy traficker who sells dangerous Loa cells as religious icons to the faithful. He's only there to buy small amounts from the Bees, and doesn't know what they do with the rest, but if quesioned he will have some ideas on who the Bees leak at the Port Authority or at Coda Corp. might be.

If you want to deal with him, or not, whatever.

2. Bee agents could have tracked Damien to his hotel room. Or not. If Damien and Nikki just want to get aquainted for a while, that's cool too.

3. Hotaru gets a call from the hospital. She is needed in an emmergency at a local asylum for the criminally insane (described in the main thread). Since she overheard that Dex and Kryla helped stop the disaster at the docks, she should have reason to bring them. Damien and Nikki could just be nearby, or could see the disaster on the news and decide to respond (it's the next day by then). Reptor is flying overhead and sees all the commotion.

4. Here's a totally different possibility: Reptor is downtown running amok. The heroes go stop him, calm him down, and they all talk together. In this case, deal with the asylum separately, or just leave that one to the police.

5. Eventually, you should all end up down at th police station talking to Det. Price.

 

[SwampThing]

Eventually you should all end up talking to Det. Price (even Hotaru, if she responds to the asylum emergency or the Repto rampage)

Price tells you al that there must have been an information leak to the bees about the Loa shipment. It could have been the Port Authority, Coda Corp., or what's left of Dracon Special Intelligence. Someone had leaked the information to Dex's company, as well, so that may be a clue.

Also, there are more shipments coming over the next few weeks, so they will need special protection, and the Port Authority security forces can't be trusted.

He also mentiions a rival street gang, the Cold Bloods. The docks are on Cold Blood turf, so there may be an attack coming up on the Bees by members of the Cold Blood. They are Loa-Faithful ninja types, as opposed to the Killer Bees tech agent style.

Price is interested in having a team of covert operatives working with the police force to handle special crimes. It would mean following police procedure. The characters should talk it over amongst themselves.

 

[SwampThing]

I'm back, or at least have improved internet access for the next couple of weeks. If anyone in Loa Blood wants to get back into super-hero action mode, I'll be able to run the thread again.

Or just keep doing what you're doing. You seem to be having fun.

 

[SpectralDragoon]

You seem to be having fun.

rofl, we felt pressured to keep the pace

I'm ready for superhero mode, just kind of coasting because I couldn't think of a reason for us to head down to the Asylum aside from seeing it on the news or something.

Any ideas? I'm readily open for suggestions, I'd like to see the story kept moving.

 

[Democable]

Well for now me and Siren are having fun at lease for the time being, but hell yeah i'm ready for Superhero mode

 

[SwampThing]

Great. I do like what's happening. Interesting relationships developing.

The asylum thing happens the next day, so both couples can get some sleep first. Hearing about it on the news is one possibility.

Or, any of you could just be in that end of town on any sort of business, like picking up Dex's equipment, visiting some of Kryna's criminal contacts (I have big plans for your brother, Velvet), leaving town, or getting a sandwich.

Or, you could be going in to the police station and see all the cops rushing to the emergency, and hear about it on their radios. You shouldn't be officially asked to help quite yet, though.

Damien could also feel the pychic shockwave of many suddenly very excited psychopaths. Remember that he's wounded, Democable.

See you all at the asylum.

 

[Abraxas Winterlight]

You've got great attention to detail, I think this is a kick ass game idea. This would be a great background for a Champions game hehe.

Damnit, I WANNA PLAY CHAMPIONS AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

like the idea of this thread. let my brain simmer while I pack & i'll see what I come up with

 

[Abraxas Winterlight]

Ok, my brain's done cooking, so here is my guy

Name: Monolith
Description: Obsidian black skin that feels like stone when touched. 7'6" tall, 600lbs. He has no hair whatsoever, and slightly glowing gold eyes with no pupils.

Powers: He is very VERy strong. Can easily lift over 6000 lbs., and has a very dense molecular structure, which makes his skin impervious to small arms fire & most heat based attacks. Electricity seems to completely unnafect him, but cold can put him into a coma if he is not careful. He has the normal dexterity, & can leap great distances due to his strength.

Monolith (he goes by no other name) was changed 3 years ago after a tainted blood transfusion. ( A unnamed terrorist organization tainted some shipments of blood with loa laced blood 3 years ago). He was a police officer before the change, now he has been wandering, doing odd jobs when he can to make ends meet.

 

[RoyalPurpleVelv]

welcome to the thread abraxas it needed some new life. I'm trying to work out how Dex and Kryna are going to get word of the disasters going on since it looks like Vbabe isn't going to post. The only ideas I have are pretty cheezy so if you wanna help out there Swamp Thing I'd be grateful.

 

[SwampThing]

Hmm, I still think it would be fine to just skip a chunk of time, and have Kryna and Dex doing something unrelated in that part of town. You could be on your way to pick up his shipped equipment, or to visit an old "friend" of Kryna's who might have some informatin for her (About the Killer Bees, or about her brother). Here's a thought, Kryna's old friend could even be an inmate in the asylum.

Either way, you're walking/taking a taxi down the street and you notice either the sirens and gunshots, or the huge stone Monolith, and decide to investigate. Kryna still doesn't have much reason to really get involved (except maybe wanting to do a good deed out of guilt for the guy she just killed), so maybe it's better if your criminal contact is an asylum inmate. That way, you need to make sure you get to him and his information before he escapes, or gets killed by the police (or Monolith). I'm thinking some crazy old collector that you used to fence stolen goods. He may be the only way to find out what happened to your brother.

 

[KisstheSky]

Hey anyway I can get in on this action?

 

[Abraxas Winterlight]

Hey anyway I can get in on this action?

I don't see why not, I justy joined in yesterday. Make up a character & see what Swampy says about it

 

[SwampThing]

Swampy says the more the merrier, KisstheSky. Read the first post of the OOC. Please note the low power level. Post a character description here, or PM me with it. The action right now is taking place at an asylum breakout on the outskirts of Bay City. Easy ways to get yourself involved are:

You're an inmate
You're a guard, nurse, doctor
You're a cop or reporter
You live in or are passing through the area, and decide to help out.
You live in or are passing through the area and get attacked by an escaped pychopath.
You are already a novice vigilante, and have been patroling the area / monitoring police frequencies, looking for trouble.
For whatever reason, you are tailing the monstrous Monolith, the spy Dex, the famous Damien, or the fugitive Kryna or Nikki.

 

[Abraxas Winterlight]

For whatever reason, you are tailing the monstrous Monolith

um, my character is only 7 1/2 feet tall

 

[KisstheSky]

Yay thanks for letting me join, I had a weird idea for a character even before I knew about the asylum...so it works out perfectly woo hoo

Name: Aya, though often goes by Sugar
Age: Appears to be about 20 but most of the time acts as though she's about 6
Current Occupation: asylum inmate
Race: Amun, from the island Amunet (climate and culture similar to Egypt)
Physical Description: tanned golden skin, big doe-like violet eyes framed with dark lashes, raven locks with magenta highlights fall stick straight and glossy to her shoulders, though usually worn in low pigtails. She's about 5'7 120lbs with a less than childlike figure (she's quite curvy) but she's also very athletic from playing tag and such with inmates much more fearsome than she. The hospital staff out of adoration for the sweet lil' thing gave her an outfit similar to a candy stripers uniform (a striped jumper dress, though the skirt is frayed to about her midthigh over a cute short sleeved blouse, no shoes. Has full pouty lips, so she often looks like a pouting child.
Info: Born into a noble house Aya was given an excellent education and when she turned 14 was expected to marry well. But she hadn't wanted to marry and when her husband tried to consumate their marriage she killed him. She went into shock and regressed into a childlike state and was ruled unfit to be tried for her crimes so instead was sent off to the asylum. There doctors began to test Loa Blood on some of the patients to see if it had any impact on their illness. Many died, but a few, like Aya had abilities appear and were shipped off to a different asylum.
Power description: Aya has the ability to project emotions and basic hallucinations on others-usually to envoke either happiness or fear depending on how she feels about the person. These projections can be as mild as a simple emotion, or as severe as full sensory hallucinations, though the hallucinations can be quite draining. Since she has the temper of a child these are often hard to control.
Affiliation: Aya is borderline-for the moment, she's a good kid at heart but her immaturity could easily sway her to the dark side....

Hope thats ok

 

[SwampThing]

I love her. That's my favorite superpower, too. I'll post a description of the scene insde the asylum, and you can take it wherever you want to from there.

Note that this scene starts before the police arrive, so if you want to be one of the lucky ones who gets outside before the shooting starts, you can be. If you are outside, you will get to meet up with the heroes sooner, but if you are inside, you will have more reason to interact with them, instead of just escaping.

Your call. Welcome aboard!
