Fallimoltus - Week 14 - Heist

[HereThereEverywhere]

A demented giggle comes from the entrance to the alleyway. Our jester friend and three of his workers stand there, blocking any exit that way. Suddenly, the sun begins to darken, until it's as if it were night.

"Theeeeere you are, friend~!"


(Ooooooo)

[PuffOfCocoa]

That doesn't sound like a bad idea....

She breaks off, lost in thought.

Well, I'm sure the whole population didn't see that.

"Not the problem. It attracted attention. I'm sure potential clients would be intrigued but i'm concerned about the circus coming after me."

What can the circus do to you? Aren't they just a bunch of clowns and the like?

"Didn't you notice everyone avoiding him? There's a reason for it."

He turns around towards her.

"There are rumors of them working doing some shady shit behind the scenes. They do the dirty work of the royales, while putting up this strange disguise of a fun circus to the general population."

He laughs.

"It's the strangest thing. I think it's their last effort at trying to bring order back to this retarded kingdom."

Her eyes widen, the pupils enlarging in surprise.

Shit, really? I haven't been here for long...that would've been nice to know earlier though.

[HereThereEverywhere]

(Cough)

[Technetium]

(Once I figure out what the character is gonna be that'll have the quirk I came up with)

[HereThereEverywhere]

(Okiedokie, can't wait~)

[Applemader666]

(It'd nice to see more people join~ I'd like to see what quirks people could come up with)
(Jafet come online pls)

[HereThereEverywhere]

(I've been thinking over some potential ideas for a new character somewhere down the line, no specifics yet though)

"Yeah, if they were after me, i'd be in real shit"

(Ooooooo)

He sighs as the jester appears behind her.

"Yeah I should have not stayed to chat."

He clenches his left fist.

(Intriguing :) )

[HereThereEverywhere]

The biggest goon behind the fool grunts - or was it a snort? - clearly having an animalistic quirk. Details are hard to make out in the low light, but they seem to have at least one pair of horns, and what could be a lion's mane.
"You might not want to make any sudden movements, Hork spooks easily~!"

[TheEyeOfRed]

*ahem DummieDumDumbstorm*

Name: William Jondoe
Alias: Faciler, or Shadowman (Hehe, get it?)
Quirk: Shadow Mind - While not possessing any sort of powers himself, his shadow has a mind of it's own. This means that it can detach itself from it's owner and scout out the distance, block attacks, be a troll by punching someone, etc. While the shadow is invulnerable, William is not. He's just as vulnerable as any other human, and also reckless. That's why he chooses to wear some sort of protection at all times, and carries a flashlight around as his shadow does not exist without light.
Character description: A pretty tall guy, 5,9. He wears a chainmail chest plate and pants. He wears hiking shoes and long socks. Brown hair and eyes.
Occupation: Salesman, Transporter

(Its ok. I'd argue that a shadow would suffer in light though.)

(A shadow can't exist without light though. So in darkness, or night, he's powerless without a light source.)

(Using logic in an RP where you have a guy with Lighter Arms, a guy who can hack computers with his body, and some loli who can secrete toxic acid. Suspend your disbelief.)

(Also, Shadows are the LACK of light, so you're wrong regardless lol)

(Ok, but how does one make a shadow weak to light? I'm sorry, I need guidance.)

The Doctor gets up from her poker game and looks out into the alleyway

"You might not want to make any sudden movements, Hork spooks easily~!"

"Hork?"

His right hand slowly clenches into a fist despite his injury.

"I'd like to chat sir, but I got places to be, money to collect, you know the deal. I'll get an autograph later, I promise."

He smiles fearfully.

He starts to turn away from them slowly.

[HereThereEverywhere]

The jester laughs once more as Incinerator continues to walk. After a few moments, he bumps into... nothing? Whatever it is, it seems to be invisible, and impeding his progress in that direction.

"We wouldn't just let you leave so soon, silly~! Now why don't come here and we can taaaalk~?"

He laughs nervously.

"I'm going to be late, so I sorta have to go, so if you just don't mind putting down this invisible wall, i'll be on my way and we can chat later."

He jumps, and aims both his arms downwards, and is sent flying into the air using his quirk, hoping to get over the wall.

[JazzMusicStops]

The Doctor watches, interested at what's going on

[HereThereEverywhere]

Incinerator collides with the wall again, it seems to be at an angle.

"You're trapped in here with us, isn't it great~!?"

(Honestly DumbStorm, I have to commend you for this. In my opinion, this roleplay may overtake TRASH if its kept alive long enough.

The reason I say this is because it takes the open, freeform, 'come up with whatever you want' concept of TRASH and adds the small rule about your character having only one quirk where the downside has to be balanced with the power.

This does three things. First, it puts all players and characters on a simple level playing field. Second, it allows us to focus on the characters themselves rather than their powers. And finally, it lowers the barrier of entry, because you don't need a character with 20 different powers to be able to compete.

Now some of my points may be rendered invalid in most scenarios in TRASH, but to an outside observer, that is probably what they will notice.

I honestly hope this survives because of the simple, yet complex abilities it will create due to its simply open nature.

Occam's Razor is a funny thing. Sometimes the bast solutions are the most simple.

Aaaaaaanyway, my character will be up shortly.)

(This kind of naivety is cute)

[HereThereEverywhere]

(Is blissful ignorance cute as well)

[JazzMusicStops]

(I guess)

[DumbStorm]

As Incinerator lands back on the ground with his back to the floor, he grunts in agony and rolls over to his side to try and ease the pain in his back.

"Fuck!"

His left hand is charred from the blast.

He slowly gets back up

"How did you know I was here? Do you have some tracking quirk?"

(I don't think TRASH could be taken over. However, I do hope it's kept healthy enough to stay up for even a fraction of the time TRASH has been alive as of this moment.

Quirks are taken from My Hero Academia, but this is mixed with a Fantasy setting so literally any setting is possible in this world, and I purposely left areas blank so when they are 'explored' they are added. This allows the most insane and strange areas to exist in the kingdom, so the strange settings of TRASH are possible in this to a smaller extent. We wont see ourselves in the Blender Dimension from Rick and Morty, but we could see an entire landscape made up of deadly kitchen objects because why not.

My only problem with TRASH was that everyone is Gods, no one has any real character other then Mary Sues and Gary Stus, and everyone tried to be 100% badasses. This roleplay however means that soimeone out there will have a quirk that can kick your ass and you'll be an idiot for trying to fight them. This means the threat of death exists so there's an actual sense of danger.

Not to say TRASH is shit, the appeal is certainly there and it's interesting to watch the thread, to see the weird shit people come up with and all that. I just don't personally feel like engaging in the roleplay.

I was inspired by TRASH and MHA for this RP, and i'm happy to see it compared to a classic.)

[sh99er]

Name: Sora

Alias: Doll

Quirk: Reformation - Doll can be broken apart and reformed with the like of a jigsaw puzzle. This includes anything from limbs to internals to even cells, however. She can be broken much easier than a normal human due to her un-connected body parts.

Character Description: Long black hair (goes to middle of back) which has a hairclip on the left side (blue), distant eyes (grey iris), wears a black shirt, a grey coat (which is fluffy inside) with a hood on it. The coat is too big for her so the sleeves are too long and you cant see the shorts she has on. Has black school-like shoes and black socks

Occupation: Part time worker in a small store (general store, you know the type that has a bit of everything) (cashier) (Located central city)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sora quietly walked along while the rain started, she pulled up her hood as she went along - Her break had only just began.

(Interesting quirk, I like it.

Adding Characters to the second post btw. I'm going through the thread now.)

(Sh99er you might want to actually specify where this store is so we know if you're in the same area as any of us or not)

(And the actual job in the store. For lore.)
