  1. The Porsche was sitting in position, it's engine revving just a little when the tiny woman knocked on the window. She wasn't bad looking, but Chromium, as he thought of himself now, didn't enjoy bright crayon colored hair, never really had. The window cracked just a little, not enough that a nosy little woman could look inside, but enough that she could hear him respond. It was through his radio but he had gotten pretty good at getting the volume and pitch right enough that people didn't suspect anything. Unless they had super hearing, his voice was a little lower in position as that's where the speakers were as he responded,"All good, are we racing or checking tires? Because that jalopy over there looks like it needs more attention?" Jason didn't know it, or at least didn't remember it, but he was the reason Rev had contracted the Mechaphage virus and it was just ironic that the two of them were in the same race. Literally feet apart and ignorant of each others identity.
  2. Akhona rolled her eyes at the Nova Tech's people pusher tried to give them the 'I don't know anything line'. Sighing she crossed her arms,"I doubt very much you know nothing at all. The young lady is very right, Black Mamba and myself will be all but useless with 'just hang around here and wait'." She shook her head, bangles clattering lightly as she uncrossed her arms,"Just waiting around is why you hire good security in the first place. Super heroes are not Security..they do not have the right skills or demeanor." She glanced at the others around her,"They are great at reacting with force, are you saying that in all your nothing that you know you don't mind collateral damage? You won't point out which areas are classified and which are not? Can you at least tell us which areas are so sensitive that if the 'attack' occurs we are not allowed to intervene?" She sniffed and raised one eyebrow, her tribal paint wrinkling as well,"Or is this a publicity stunt? Hoping that enough Super Heroes will arrive and you just record it?"
  3. @Ari Welp not much luck there People skills are not John's strong point...that's why he has Akhona Intimidate 5
  4. LOL, if anyone wants to make a connection to Chromium quick they can always be his 'driver' if that makes it easier
  5. A silver Porsche slid gracefully around one of the practice tracks, the dark tinted windows hiding the mysterious driver who always seemed to be dressed in such away as to hide his face, and that was mostly because there was no diver. The driver and the Porsche were one and the same thing, Chromium took the turn tightly and accelerated rapidly out of it, he had heard there might be trouble at this particular meeting of Horizon but to be honest he didn't care he just wanted to race....yet the people in the know, mostly Lady Horus, had insisted that he be alert because there had been a few teething problems with his powers. It wasn't like the racers would cause a problem for him, they were trying to control a machine that was separate from them. He was the machine, he would have grinned if he had a face at the moment as he accelerated into the last lap at high speeds. Porsche weren't supposed to go as fast as he could, but he wasn't going to show that off just yet. For now he was just making sure his times were good enough to get to the next level.
  6. John Ross was nearby, in fact perched on the building opposite with a clear view of the Nova Tech building, but he was not coming in, he wasn't about to risk his identity and although he suspected that the Black Mamba Power Suit could deal with almost anything that Nova Tech wanted to throw at it dealing with people, particularly corporate people was certainly not his specialty. Fortunatly he didn't operate alone, even though he didn't like exposing her Akhona had been insistent, getting into Nova Tech's building of course was of interest to her a competitor and sometimes partner would always interest his more business oriented wife. The Elevator dinged soon after Red Rat stepped out and revealed a dark skinned woman of African descent, she was in her early 50's, relatively attractive but it was her attire that caught attention. She was garbed very traditionally, her long robes black and gold, her arms wrapped in multiple golden bands, four golden bands around her neck the first resting on her graceful collarbones and each about an inch thick. She smiled, her dark skin crinkling with well worn smile lines the white dots painted onto her face in traditional Dakani patterns around her eyes and on her forehead only serving to accent the long hair styled and piled atop her head. If only they knew how long that hair had taken? Akhona's smile was genuine as she slid from the recess of the elevator, her large golden earring swaying gently as she stepped into the lobby of the Nova Tech building, her bright brown eyes taking in all the details and turning towards Neisha she stepped forward. Nodding at the Red Rat, already running scans on the various faces as she spoke,"Greetings, I am here to represent the Black Mamba, he thought it might not help if he was seen entering in person." Careful, Akhona, don't bait them. I can get to you but it will take time. I am always careful, John, and remember it is because of you I am here in the first place.

  8. I'll be posting this evening in a few hours. Just finishing work. I'm going to have Akhona meet at the festival with Black Mamba flying above so we dont have a armored behemoth at the meeting
  9. Quick question, and thought for a link, AR Industries, Akhona's technology company which sponsors Black Mamba could have links or even business with Nova Tech if that works? I'm at work till late today but I'll work on other ideas and a post likely tomorrow or Sunday at the latest.
  10. Obviously Chromium for racing, Mamba or Delta (if I get him done in time)for shadow running. For assassination...well all of the above would be happy to work with that!
  11. Black Mamba can work in both Disaster relief as well as Underwater, flight and lifesupport ftw. And he's a member of the Auxillary...I should really update his minion she'd come in handy on both as well.
  12. Girls? There was more than just Wadjet then, scratching his chin he nodded,"I agree...Wadjet and I worked well together when we were fighting the Jigsaw man I'm sure I can do the same with the other girls...." He held out his hand,"What is the address and what time do you want me to be there?"
  13. Chromium smirked and shook his head,"And who would have thought I'd find a super 'team' to join in Bedlam of all places?" He looked up at her on her new perch and chuckled, clearly she was demonstrating she had some powers as well...not just a paintball gun,"Oh, I'm in as long as I don't become everyone's favourite form of transport and that's it. I want to learn things and I want to be helped to grow. As long as you're doing that and not just making use of my powers to meet your own goals that's fine." s i He thought about mentioning he wouldn't do bad stuff, no bank robbing, no crime...he was a hero...but perhaps it was better to let her show him what they did before he declared his allegiance. She had to be better than the Jigsaw man if she was fighting him. He remembered stinky mentioning the blonde woman and Wadjet as his targets so that made him a little more relaxed about it.
  14. Nothing but a soft whirring of his power source gave away that Black Mamba was more than a black and gold statue as the man babbled about his boss and his people, it was just as Akhona and himself had feared this was more organized than they had thought. Moving slowly he made his way over to the kids with the phone and held out his hand,"Can I borrow that a moment please?" He frowned and looked at the phone, invisible in his armor as he sent a message to Akhona through the link. "Akhona, I need you to hack this phone. Get any information you can and trace the numbers. One of them has to got to be the ostensible boss and if you can hack it so the kids can use it afterwards. Also, call the police and get them down here to pick up the kids." He waited to hear confirmation that Akhona had connected to the phone she could see through his optical input and then handed it back to the kids,"Just looking for some information from the phone but you can have it know." With that he moved over to the balclava man and knelt down, pulling the balaclava off of his head so he could send a picture to Akhona for her to add to their files,"Alright, mouthy, you want to tell me what's going on here or do I need to 'squeeze' you a little?" Even as he said squeeze silver mechanical snakes slithered from the holes that opened in his gauntlet, slowly wrapping themselves around the prone man. The poor guy had already seen Black Mamba use this to squeeze one his buddys before he had thrown him into the truck to knock him out,"We can do this the easy way or the hard way, your choice?"
  15. Okay, so this is in Freedom City? Second sounds like I already beat the scumbags up is that right? Third, Rooivalk is Black Mamba's old Bounty Hunter name....if they called him that then this is real bad, or is that just him thinking of himself as Rooivalk? Fourth, how many kids in total?
  16. Chromium paused, a slow raise of his eyebrow the only sign of the consternation he thought but his feelings were writ all over his face. Confusion, interest, suspicion, caution and a little bit of hope slid across the silver face until he opened his mouth, then shut it again and then frowned,"I have a few questions...you talking about a house or a neighbourhood? And how obvious would a porsche be in the area? And what's the catch?"
  17. Chromium shrugged,"That's why I'm here, right? If I could do it by myself I wouldn't have accepted Wadjet's offer. I need to get better connected and know where to focus my efforts. I don't have a turf at the moment. I just kind of float around, so figuring out where I might fit would be a good idea to. I don't want to step on anyone's toes but I do need a place to call my own."
  18. Delta Power Level:10 (150/150PP) Unspent Power Points: 0 Trade-Offs: +0 Attack / +0 Damage, -5 Defense / +5 Toughness In Brief: Telepathic Cyber soldier from the Terminus trying to hide from his squad and the man who made him. Catchphrase: "No it's not Halloween, those are my eyes." Theme: (Optional) A theme song for the character. Alternate Identity: Unknown Birthplace: The Terminus Residence: Freedom League Lodgings Base of Operations: Freedom City Occupation: Cybersoldier Affiliations: Freedom League Family: Alpha, Beta, Charlie and Echo - the squad that is hunting him down still mind control by Dr. Düster. Description: Age: 10 years of memories since awakening Apparent Age: 28 Gender: Male Ethnicity: Terminus Height: 6ft Weight: 300lbs Eyes: Large Bulbous mechanical looking Cyber eyes both seem to 'wrap' around his head to the back with cables connecting the eyes the base of his skull where the Cyberarms start. Hair: None Dark brown skin covers what would normally be a pretty well muscled frame, but is contrasted against by black and red metal that seems to cover large swathes of Delta's body. He is clearly an ungodly amalgam of man and machine and no amount of politeness could pretend otherwise. Large bug like cybernetics have replaced his eyes, they have overlapping plates that wrap around his head covering the base of his skull and running down his neck where they join more plates running up from the cybernetic shoulders, arms and glowing power plant that is in the center of where his shoulder blades would normally be. The metal itself is a strange ore from deep in the terminus that is normally pitch black, but some parts are picked out in red and the power plant is a raised disc that glows cherry red when he uses his arm cannons. The lip of the disc is raised a further inch from his back in what must be some kind of heat dispersal. The plates themselves slide and move allowing tools and weapons to slide out of them. The base of his skull has further raised parts that whir and hum like a large DVD player when he is using the various computer parts installed there. Covering the rest of his body there are signs of more implants in his legs, arms and face, but most of that is covered by an obviously armored suit that has a number of collapsible gadgets hanging from the belt and pouches on the light jacket covering his chest and on the pants and shoulders. The clothing is camo greens and browns but is not manufactured from this present time seeming to have no seam and offers much more protection than normal. History: Delta's memories started ten years ago, when he woke on a surgery table his body 18 years old, his mind almost a total blank and a face he would become very familiar with looking over him asking if he was alright. It was Dr. Düster, the surgeon who had decided that after the last defeat at the hands of super heroes that they didn't need more soldiers, they need an infiltration squad to take down super heroes, their families and surgical strikes contested by super heroes. So he was putting together, he hand picked Terminus residents, prisoners, soldiers and mercenaries from around Lord Omega's realm. Then he got to work, he created five of them and named them like a scientist creating soldiers would. Alpha, Beta, Charlie, Delta and Echo. First he removed most of their personal memories, most of their personality, treated them with genetic treatments, implanted computers and mind control chips in their heads and equipped them for infiltration, military action and then he added more cybernetics.That was when Delta woke up and started training, his MO was the Engineer, computer expert and flanker. Simulations gave way to live fire and then strikes with in the Terminus all part of the training. About four years in something went wrong and an enemy got behind Delta and did severe damage enough to require the amputation of both of his arms and major rebuilding of the back of his skull but that didn't slow down Düster down he simply found a rare metal local to the are that would work, a few interesting materials and he put together a set of arms that made Delta even more flexible...but the materials interacted with Delta's genetic mutations and developed one of their own. It started slowly but Delta became aware, first that the mind chip was still delivering commands but that he could not ignore them as he developed more and more self control and then it got weird things started closing the last inch to his hand with out any outside source of movement he started finishing peoples sentences, people he had just met. He kept it hidden it as best he could, having four mind controlled squad mates helped as they did little more than follow orders. Another 3 years of free will went by, Delta helped the people he could but deep in Terminus territory he had no where to go. Finally the strike on Earth and Freedom city, Delta waited till they were through the portal on a strike mission and he ran for it. His target the same as his brothers, a freedom league outpost, he got there first warned them what was coming and earned himself the amnesty, and a place he could call his own and not have anyone in his head...but he started developing the ability to put commands in peoples head as well and he is starting to fear he is becoming the things he fears. Personality & Motivation: Delta has limited memories to draw on, but most of them are of the blasted lands of the Terminus, he will do whatever it takes to stay on Earth. He will fight whoever he needs to if it means friendly relationships with the powers that be on Earth. Delta is motivated primarily by the search for freedom and for freedom for his 'brothers' he wants to free the rest of his team and in the end the rest of the Terminus. A grand dream but he has so little else to hold on to, a normal life is not for him, he looks like something out of a horror movie and knows it, he longs for a normal life and wonders about who he was before he was captured. The last decade holds nothing but war, fighting and training and so Delta tends to react more strongly in many circumstances than he should logic and tactics rule his thinking and he is continuously suspicious of other peoples motives and even more so of his growing powers. He inherently respects other peoples freedom and will react with more force than needed to the sight of those oppressed, enslaved or otherwise helpless as he feels a strong bond with them. Powers & Tactics: Although Delta has the power to take on many more powerful foes head on his preference is stealth, misdirection and striking from a position of knowledge and power. He likes to plan, he likes to scout out what he is about to face and then he likes to strike like a bolt of lightening from an unexpected direction. Between his ability to teleport, send out scout robots and hack computers from a distance he typically dissects a situation very thoroughly before he jumps in but his abilities and power often allows him to do that in a very short space of time. Power Descriptions: The obvious things are his massive cyber arms, cyber eyes and the modifications made to his skull, all black metal, spikes and red edges the large disk shaped power source on his back glows red when he is exerting his strength or firing his arm cannon. The flexible black metal on his arms slides and shapes itself to allow blades, spikes and blunt edges to form allowing him to strike with any kind of surface he would like, his telekinetic short range abilities have manifested with extreme precision allowing him to mimic many of the weapons hidden in his arms with telekinetic blows of varying degrees of 'sharpness' within about a 10' radius those of course are all but invisible but for their effects. When ranged combat is needed his hand retracts exposing a massive cannon that runs the length of his forearm and allows him to shoot bolts of bright scarlet energy with extreme precision. His less precise long range telekinesis allows him to lift great weights, even pinning people in place without any obvious source other than the pulsing of the disc shaped power source on his back. More dangerous than his weapons is the computer assembly and the telepathic powers that are crammed into his skull. His cyber eyes look like something of a cross between a camera lens with a large visible shutter and the front end of binoculars when fully exposed. Various antenna extend from the black cybernetics mounted in his skull as he access computers or communicates over long distances. When he is in full processing modes small red LED's flash along the sides and back of his skull as he uses more power than normal to have the computer fully focused on what he is doing, colorful overlays giving him instructions are visible in front of him as he activates the skill chips in his processing core and when he uses his telepathic powers small arc of electricity leap from implant to implant...usually larger arcs mean something went wrong. His armor contains a belt that teleports him in a flash of light, a cloaking device strapped to the center of his chest that looks like a black donut about the size of his palm with multiple electric blue overlays that flash before he vanishes in a shimmer. Several black and gold tubes of nanite activators hang from his belt to activate the nanites in his body as well as several cyber implants repairing damage to flesh and machine. In a small pouch he has four orbs that expand into scouting robots that cloak themselves and fly around scanning the area around him feeding information about what they see and hear directly into his mind leaving him vulnerable to attacks on the drones. Finally a strangely shaped square strapped to his back expands out to a hover board allowing him to fly at great speeds, the board itself is controlled by some of the mechanics in his headware and can be recalled to catch him if he is knocked off, it has red jets beneath it to keep it up and the same at the back to drive it forward. Finally in combat he can call up an almost transparent yellowish field of telekinetic energy that protects him from most small arms and close combat weapons, but it has been known to overload with too much damage causing it to implode in a rush of energy that can both blind and deafen Delta if he doesn't react quickly enough. Complications: There is only War!: Delta's only memories is training and war, he views almost all things as tactical problems that can be solved by brute strength or cunning. This is not necessarily the best thing to deal with social situation, police officers, people who want to ask questions, reporters or putt-putt courses. Frequently his reaction is overbearing, aggressive or violent when there is in fact a better way. Mad Scientist alert: Dr Düster is out there, and so are his brothers they are looking for him as is anyone else in charge of looking for soldiers/deserters from the last terminus invasion. There may even be a price on his head for villains, bounty hunters or others who have contact with the Terminus system. It's not Halloween: Delta is not pretty, he hardly looks human and he has more machine parts than your average blender. This causes many awkward situations when he has to go through metal detectors, fancy dress partys or anything that normally requires you not to look like something out of a Terminator/Alien mash up. He makes children cry, raises fear in the locals he's come to rescue and has a hard time getting into places where weapons are not welcome. Lobotomy: Large portions of Delta's brain was removed in the operations that made him what he is most of those had to do with his memories from his past, others were to do with his personality and compliance. This sometimes manifests, even though he has redeveloped much of his capabilities through his psionic power, in him having phantom memories of his past, not catching jokes/innuendo or subtle body language, following instructions that he shouldn't and taking things extremely literally...a problem in a society where comments like 'well just shoot me', 'let it burn' and 'squash them like a bug' are a somewhat regular occurrence. Not the eyes!: Delta's eyes have been completely replaced by his cybernetics, cybernetics made from the same material that seems to have interacted with his genetic changes to spark his psionic powers. The problem is they are still machines, they tend to get swirly around strong magnets, turn off altogether if they get hit with a certain frequency or jarred in a certain way. All kinds of failures occur from time to time, usually when it's least convenient from something as innocuous as switching colors, getting focused on something they shouldn't be so everything else is blurry up to glowing red for no apparent reason or...on occasion...shooting out some kind of beam that may or may not melt whatever he was looking at. Dr Düster made many modifications to his eyes and he is only scratching the surface of what they can do. I have a machine in me: As with his eyes there are many, many implants in Delta and a swarm of nanites occupy his blood building molecular level implants around his body even now. It is unclear whether it is some kind of high speed evolution but it means there is always something going on inside of him and that there are a number of implants that have abilites he is not aware of. This can manifest positively in unexpected beneficial powers but also in things happening around him that he doesn't expect. Cars stop working as he walks past, all the electronics in a room reset and send all their information to him, his thoughts manifesting on screens around him. His eye view showing up on the mall security screens miles away from where he is, most of the time he is very much in control but every now and again something he doesn't expect happens....

  19. A sliver eyebrow arched at her comment on his hardness, and then a more innocent smile broke through for just a moment,"Hard enough to stop bullets...that's for sure." He shrugged,"Don't have a way, don't have enough of a understanding of the gangs and stuff to be able to figure out where to be effective. Wadjet knew were to strike, so I was effective...I need to be able to figure out who done things, and then figure out how to take out the puppet masters. Like this Jigsaw man..."
  20. Chromium frowned, trying to work through her accent and strange use of words, at least for him, and finally nodded,"There aren't any ladies left in Bedlam, only in fairytales and day dreams." Shrugging his shoulders and looking around he wondered if she was trying to luring him into a trap and then her last sentence struck home and he snorted,"I ain't with any people, it's just me. I got a place to stay and that's it. There were some folks who told me all this stuff but they did't want to play ball my way so I'm doing it myself."
  21. Chromium didn't need a second invitation and started to eat with gusto, barely pausing for breath it seemed till everything including the packet that had held it all had been devoured. Then he looked up and grinned,"Fortunately everywhere I am there is plenty to eat....I'm always hungry, always, and they told me it's not just because I'm a teenager. I'm apparently...what was it....building density at the atomic level..and can...consume any matter given enough time to chew it." He shrugged and grinned,"There is always plenty to eat, you just got to know that not all of it tastes good...." Tilting his head he frowned,"So what is the plan, what are you wanting me to do? I'm pretty sure you're not going to help me for free....and I suspect that means you already have a dirty laundry list you want completed, yeah?"
  22. Sign me up! Chromium will be looking to learn more about investigation from anyone willing to teach but is mostly here to beat bad guys while he learns!
  23. Chromium had been walking around all wrapped up with as little silver showing as possible and the cold weather helped. Still when Anna spoke he jumped a little and turned,"Shouldn't sneak up on people!" He looked her over, with all the subtlety of a teenager, and then frowned and nodded,"Great, I'm always hungry!" Taking the packet he put his hands in and looked at her as he took his first bite, not even bothering to take off the wrapping off the first thing he put in his mouth, but he murmured appreciatively before asking between chews,"Thanks....now....Wadjet said you could tr.....help me?" With the sentence completed he started taking more large bites, hardly seeming to chew as he wolfed the food down in a way only a young man can do his silver eyes never leaving her face.
  24. And another attempt to find some play for my dudes. Black Mamba is eager to learn what it means to be a super hero, having just joined the Auxillary! Looking for redemption story lines and willing to play nice with others! Chromium, fresh off his first brush with Jigsaw man, is looking for crime to smash, trying to figure out night school and learning how to investigate crimes so he can actually catch a bad guy or too in Bedlam! Let me know!
