  1. Here's your thread: https://www.freedomplaybypost.com/topic/13048-lessons-to-learn/?tab=comments#comment-300510 Went with Spaceman, cus I wanna rp him.
  2. Pan raised an eyebrow at Eira in an obvious "see?" statement, before standing up, casually moving a hand through Eira. "See, she is not here at all. It is all just a very advanced phone call." His tone was matter of fact, like it was the most obvious and normal thing in the world. He looked at Eira, seeming at once surprised and not surprised at her reaction. "Did you dream about her again?" He had learn not to speak the name. The worry was clear in his voice.
  3. OOC for this. @Heritage, @Nerdzul
  4. GM The Nicholson School, Freedom City September 9th, 2020 9:00 AM Most of the students at Claremont Academy started their super heroic student life just there. Few were even aware that a school existed for younger children, where they could learn to control and use their powers, just be children or maybe learn a little something more. Students from the Nicholson School would at times visit Claremont, but students from Claremont coming to Nicholson was rare. But as it happened, two students from Claremont had been requested to visit Nicholson. A work study, of sorts. Helping out in a few classes, show the kids that you could end up anywhere and be just fine. A blonde haired man around 40 was waiting for them as they approached the school gates. He had a full beard, his long hair tied into a ponytail. He was wearing a white dress shirt and dress pants. He wore a red tie with Mickey Mouse heads printed all over it. He was fiddling with his tie while he waited for the Claremont students to arrive.
  5. GM The duo approached the mall, making their way towards the statue. It wasn't difficult to find with Oz' guidance, but even then, the little mouse made of stone seemed out of place in the middle of the oviously chicken themed even. After all, there were no mice, save for background characters, in the movie. No, this was clearly the work of something else, something that should not be here. It was difficult to avoid bumping into the running and shouting childrne, or the parents that desperately tried to keep up with them. It would not make their investigation any easier, at least.
  6. Give me a DC20 Search check if you look around the little mouse statue. If you make it, reveal spoiler.
  7. GM The bag slowly crunched under Agnes' foot, with the Preacher looking on, wide-eyed. "No, no, stop! Leave it alone!" Jonathan and Crimson Cross froze, looking at him, the powder in the bag, and the inhaler. "What is that?" Crimson Cross' voice was tense. She might not be the brightest bulb, but even she could see that something was off. "Nothing! Its nothing! We are doing God's work! We are cleansing the unclean! Don't you see what I have done for you?"
  8. Charlie froze as Alek started approaching him and Callie. "Wait. Alek's smiling." He took a step back, getting into a defensive position. Things had not gone well if Alek was smiling like this. Alek smiling like that was almost never a good thing. Before Alek's smile wold broaded and he would mention cookies, Charlie interrupted. "Not the vest, right? I'm pretty sure the vest wouldn't be a good solution to anyone getting off on the wrong fo..." Ah, alright, cookies. Cookies, yes. That was much better than the vest. "Aw, yeah. Alek's parents makes the best cookies. You gotta meet them, they're great."
  9. Ratatoskr Power Level: 10 Effective Power Level: 10 Power Points: 150/150PP Unspent Power Points: 0 Trade-Offs: TOU-4/DEF+4 In Brief: Yggdrasil's messenger squirrel, sent to aid Holger Danske in his quest. Catchphrase: "Here I am!" Birthplace: Yggdrasil Residence: Yggdrasil Base of Operations: Yggdrasil Occupation: Messenger Affiliations: Asgard, Holger Danske Family: Numerous siblings. DESCRIPTION Age: As old as Yggdrasil Gender: Male Ethnicity: Squirrel Height: 0’7’’ Weight: 0.6 lbs. Eyes: Brown Hair: Red Ratatoskr is a red squirrel with a bushy tail. HISTORY Ratatoskr is a squirrel that runs up and down the world tree Yggdrasil, delivering messages between the serpent Nidhogg that eats the roots of the world tree, and the eagle perced at the top of the tree. They are not quite friendly with each other, and some times the divine messenger squirrel takes on other assignments, like helping out the Aesir, where Odin's ravens are busy or would be too obvious. Few myths mention Ratatoskr. Fewer still have him as an important figure. He is, at best, a minor figure in the Nordic myths, if not a mere footnote. In recent years, the gods have realized that this makes him a perfect spy on the Earth. He is divine, intelligent and able to communicate, and yet, he is such a minor figure, not even really a god, so he is either not bound or simply unnoticed by the pact. Through the years, he has guided a number of heroes on Odin's orders, most recently being sent to guide and help the reawakened Holger Danske. PERSONALITY & MOTIVATION Ratatoskr might be divine and intelligent, but he is still a squirrel. He is hyper-active, infinitely curious and some times very annoying. He will talk and chatter on and on, but then go silent at the drop of a hat and simply disappear.He is loyal to his charges and his mission, standing up for and helping his charges as well as he can. If he has been given a mission, he will carry it out to the best of his ability. Ratatoskr is brave, but not fearless, and he is well aware that there are thing that a squirrel just can't do, but on the other hand, there are many things that he can do that others just can't. POWERS & TACTICS Ratatoskr might be a divine squirrel, but he is still a squirrel, and his abilities in combat are rather limited. Rather than directly fighting enemies, he will attempt to distract and slow them down, making combat easier for his allies, rather than attempt to attack them directly. POWER DESCRIPTIONS All of Ratatoskr's powers are either due to him being a divine messenger, or a squirrel. He is diminutive sized, fitting easily on Holger Danske's shoulder, and he is able to rapidly climb up trees and other structures, and his hearing is incredible accurate. His physiology is enhanced by his divine origins, allowing him to move far faster and leap farther than he should be able to. He can move fast enough to appear instantly in another location, even being able to bypass obstacles along the way. He can even transfer this ability to others, as long as he touches them. As a divine messenger, Ratatoskr is able to understand any language, even other animals, allowing him to communicate with most living beings. His name means Drill-Tooth, which applies to his teeth as well. Given enough time, he is able to chew through just about anything, an ability he some times finds use for in combat. He tends to scream and yell at people to distract and slow them down, while he can move with enough speed to trip and knock back foes in a collision. For his part, Ratatoskr survives the collision due to his own divine protection: He is protected by the blessings of the gods, and a certain degree of hurt will simply not reach him.

Holger Danske Power Level: 12 Effective Power Level: 10 Power Points: 180/187PP Unspent Power Points: 7 Trade-Offs: No offensive, Defensive Trade-offs vary between TOU+5/DEF-5, None and TOU-5/DEF+5, see Defensive Stance Array power In Brief: Mythic Danish hero reawakens in the modern day to protect the Denmark and the rest of the world. Theme: Hero's Return - Hammerfall / The Champion - Hammerfall Alternate Identity: Holger, Son of Gudfred (Public), Ogier the Dane, Ogier le Danois, Ogier de Danemarche (Public) Birthplace: Kronborg, Denmark Residence: Kronborg, Denmark Occupation: Adventurer, Hero, Knight of Charlemagne Affiliations: Denmark Family: Gudfred (Father, King of Denmark from at least 804 to 810, died 810), Horik I (Brother, Joint King of Denmark 813 to 827, King of Denmark 827 to 854, died 854), 4 Brothers (Died 814, 819, 819, 827) DESCRIPTION Age: Born late 8th century Apparant age: Late twenties Gender: Male Ethnicity: Scandinavian Height: 6’8’’ Weight: 220 lbs. Eyes: Blue Hair: Blonde Holger is a tall man, with clearly defined Scandinavian features. He has cold blue eyes and loose blonde hair and beard. While he might appear intimidating and imposing at first, his chivalric and friendly nature tends to shine through. Holger tends to in a mixture of modern and ancient clothing. He will usually wear modern pants, shirts and boots, prefering them in darker colors, wearing his armor and armaments on top of them. His armor appears to be made from steel, with gold detailing in the segments, covering his upper body while leaving his arms bare. A light grey cape connects to the armor. He wears bracers in the same color scheme on his arms, and a red belt with golden clasps around his waist, a dark red sword sheathe with gold detailing and trim hanging from the belt. He wields a metallic, almost silver colored, shield, known as Bouclier de Danemarche, or Shield of Denmark, either on his arm or secured to his back. Curtana, the Sword of Mercy, is a short sword with silver hilt and golden crossguard. He wears a golden snake armlet around his upper right arm, wrapping around his arm several times. HISTORY In the dungeons beneath Castle Kronborg in Helsingør in Denmark sits a solitary figure, the statue of Holger Danske. A mighty warrior and hero, he was the son of King Gudfred, the Danish king from around 804 to 810. In an act of peace, Holger was given to the great king Charlemagne of France to ensure the peace between the two rulers. When Gudfred broke the peace treaties, Charlemagne decides to spare Holger, leading to Holger becoming one of Charlemagne's knights for a time, and a contemporary of Roland. During the years of battles and wars, Holger had many great adventures, growing into a heroic figure and defender of the weak, before he led the French to victory against the Saracen, slaying the giant Brehus in the battles. With his battles at an end, Holger Danske marched home to Denmark, to Castle Kronborg, where he sat down, his beard growing long. He eventually became a statue, that bears the inscription: Når Danmark stander i våde, så vågner Holger Danske Since then, Holger Danske has rested. In secret, he has awakened to fight the good fight and protect Denmark from threats, most recently in the early 1940'es during the Nazi occupation. With every victory, he has once again marched to Castle Kronborg and returned to his solitary vigil, his legend growing in the telling. And now, with the ever growing threats of super humans and the coming of greater mythological beings, Denmark is in greater peril than ever before. In this time of need, Denmark's future might be in the hands of its past. Because when Denmark is in peril, then Holger Danske will awaken! PERSONALITY & MOTIVATION Holger is a contradiction. A man out of time, he has nonetheless followed the turn of the world through the ages, and is well at home in the modern day. An honorable knight, and yet a fierce viking warrior. He is a man of excess, and yet disciplined. Holger is a passionate man, who loves the thrill of battle and adventure. He is a jovial and boastful sort, who nonetheless believes in his strong sense of honor, who will stand up and protect the weak when called. While deeply enjoying the modern day and all its amenities, he finds himself at odds with the differing morals. In his day, you would slay your foe, rather than let them rot, but he tries to follow the rules of the time. He loves a challenge, rarely backing down from an argument or a fight, whether it is a true battle or just for fun. He is deeply loyal to his friends, even Ratatoskr, despite repeteadly claiming how much the divine rodent annoys him. POWERS & TACTICS Holger is an experienced warrior, having fought ever greater threats through the ages, his skills and power growing as his legend has grown. He is primarily a melee combatant, using prefering to use his sword Curtana for offense and his shield Bouclier de Danemarche for defense, using his speed and moving rapidly around the battle field to where he can do the most good. He tends to work closely together with his partner Ratatoskr, using any opportunities that the Asgardian Squirrel might create for him. POWER DESCRIPTIONS Holger is essentially powered by his own legend, a magic that has let him sleep through the ages as a statue and rise when Denmark has been in need. Holger seems to have stopped aging at some point in his late 20'es, and is completely immune to all disease. He is able to run and leap far faster and longer than any normal man, as befitting of a legendary hero that has fought beasts and invading armies. Holger is physically powerful, being far stronger, agile and tough than the average man. Holger wields two artifacts: The short sword Curtana and the shield Bouclier de Danemarche. Bouclier de Danemarche is essential to Holger's defense. It can withstand or deflect great blows, allowing Holger to evade or block incoming damage, while absorbing enough force to help him stay steady when struck. It is large enough that he can use it to protect others or himself. While the shield has some magic, it has been named by Holger himself, and seems to be a minor artifact, at least compared to Curtana. Curtana was crafted by Wayland the Smith and bears the inscription "My name is Curtana, of the same steel and temper as Joyeuse and Durandal". It is also known as the Sword of Mercy, and was for a time wielded by Tristan of the Round Table. Curtana is an incredibly potent blade, virtually unbreakable and able to cut through virtually anything, if enough force is applied. Using a combination of the sword's magic and his own skills, Holger is able to use it for far more than just hacking away at his opponents. He is able to swing the blade at blinding speed and precision, even cutting insubstantial targets. He can cut an enemy to destroy their toughness and defenses, sweep their leg to make them fall, the cuts making it difficult to rise or even making them fall again, or simply bash them with the blunt side of the blade to momentarily stun them. The sword's most powerful magic is its ability to instill hope and healing in those that surround Holger. As he raises the Sword of Mercy to the sky, the blade shines brightly as it restores both the spirit and body of those around Holger. COMPLICATIONS Heeding the Call: If Denmark is in great peril, Holger will feel a pull to return to his home, to protect his homeland from all danger. If this happens in the middle of a battle, Holger might end up distracted, which can make him miss a crucial strike or take the wrong action. If this happens, the GM can award Holger a Hero Point. Unforgiving Blade: Holger is not quite used to these softer times, where you try to employ non-lethal force unless absolutely necessary. While he does his best to conform to the modern standards, he is quicker to suggest or try to kill particularly dangerous foes that cannot otherwise be contained than others, which can lead to conflicts with other heroes and law enforcement. If such a conflict arises, the GM can award Holger a Hero Point. Stronger Than All: Holger has sworn to protect those weaker than him. Threatening the weak or innocent will provoke Holger into taking action or rush to the aid, even if it allows the villain to escape. If a villain threatens someone weaker than Holger to complicate a situation, the GM can award him a Hero Point. Hearts on Fire: Holger is a passionate man. He will rarely back down from an argument or fight once it has begun, even if it could make the situation better. The GM can award Holger a Hero Point if his headstrong refusal to back down complicates a situation. Steel Meets Steel: Holger will usually engage the biggest, most powerful foe in combat, taking attention away from others and on to himself, even if it would be smarter to take out weaker foes one by one first. The GM can award Holger a Hero Point if his attempts to engage the most powerful foe on the battlefield complicates a situation. Annoying Rodent: Ratatoskr's antics can some times be annoying, distracting or outright dangerous. He might be a divine creature, but he is still a squirrel. He might block the view, antagonize enemies, annoy friends, reach for the shiny thing or push the big red button, just to see what it does. The GM can award Holger a Hero Point if Ratatoskr's antics complications a situation.

  11. Nevermore II "Nice suit! Is that old you's old one?" Charlie came down from above, gliding on his cape before letting go and spinning before landing on the rooftop next to Callie. He was in his full costume, probably one of the first times that Callie had seen him suited up. All black, a full cowl that only left his mouth free. The entire suit was seamless, just one continuous piece of cloth, at least as far as the eye could see. Black cloak with dark blue lining. The black was broken by his silver belt with a stylized N, the silver gauntlets and the shiny teal lines running from his belt and to under his arms, teal soles on his boots and, of course, the shiny teal raven on his chest. "Seriously, looks good on you, but what're you gonna do once we get to Claremont? I kinda doubt she'll let you run around calling yourself Raven there."
  12. well, some times the fun thing is getting who you're not compatible with Give me a day or two depending on how busy I get, then I'll try to get something started.
  13. How would you two feel about a team up with Spaceman or Archer? I need to do stuff with them.
  14. GM "Nobody's gonna figure out what happens to anyone you burn. Just some ashes, right?" He threw a candy bar at her to demonstrate, and it immediately burned up in the bright green flames. "Perfect. You know Teddy Kaplan? He's been selling here, at the school. That's my turf. So, I want you to go and show him why that's a bad idea." He smirked and leaned back, admiring the view of Alice and the green flames for a moment. "You got about an hour, so you'd better hurry. Unless there's some other way you'd rather pay..." His smile twisted further at the last part.
  15. "I had to try to see what would happen!" Pan defended himself, still grinning widely, making no movement to change his position while Eira looked him up and down. He frowned lightly, looking over at Micah at the question. "Like a feather. He is having a calm night tonight, at least. Nightmares and thunder storms are not a good mix." A quick glance at the window. "Of course, this would not be the first time I made my escape, if you had something in mind."
  16. With Mind Control, you usually get a save to resist every round, with a cumulative +1 bonus to your Will Save each round you're controlled. For the sake of us not using initiative atm, you'll get a save to shake off the Mind Control after each trip to get a bag. Casanova has a lotof bags.
  17. For those that fail, the Mind Control effect is you pretty much being yourself, but feeling like its the right thing to do, so you should totally do that.
  18. I like Tiff's ideas for some threads on cleaning up the company, which I find would fit rather well with being Jasmine's personal project, so things have just kind of run without influence, until something catches their eye now.
  19. GM "I was talking." Sebastian was clearly not interested in being interrupted, and, even worse, ignored. "I said pick up my bags, and bring them to my room." His voice was loud, heavy. There was a bit of a reverb. It was like they were hearing not just his words, but something more... and some of the people on the floor started to feel oddly compelled to do just as Sebastian Shields were telling them to. Like someone was pushing at them to go and pick up his bags, and bringing them to her room. It would make sense to do that! Sebastian had asked them to do it, so of course they would go and do it.
  20. OOC for this. @HGM, @Heritage, @Spacefurry, @RedSpine, @Nerdzul, @secondling, @Thunder King Everyone give me a DC18 Will Save vs. Mind Control. The effect is Psionic, so anyone with protection against that goes free. And just to note, unless this really escalates we'll just keep to semi-random posting order as we are now.

He will talk and chatter on and on, but then go silent at the drop of a hat and simply disappear.He is loyal to his charges and his mission, standing up for and helping his charges as well as he can. If he has been given a mission, he will carry it out to the best of his ability. Ratatoskr is brave, but not fearless, and he is well aware that there are thing that a squirrel just can't do, but on the other hand, there are many things that he can do that others just can't. POWERS & TACTICS Ratatoskr might be a divine squirrel, but he is still a squirrel, and his abilities in combat are rather limited. Rather than directly fighting enemies, he will attempt to distract and slow them down, making combat easier for his allies, rather than attempt to attack them directly. POWER DESCRIPTIONS All of Ratatoskr's powers are either due to him being a divine messenger, or a squirrel. He is diminutive sized, fitting easily on Holger Danske's shoulder, and he is able to rapidly climb up trees and other structures, and his hearing is incredible accurate. His physiology is enhanced by his divine origins, allowing him to move far faster and leap farther than he should be able to. He can move fast enough to appear instantly in another location, even being able to bypass obstacles along the way. He can even transfer this ability to others, as long as he touches them. As a divine messenger, Ratatoskr is able to understand any language, even other animals, allowing him to communicate with most living beings. His name means Drill-Tooth, which applies to his teeth as well. Given enough time, he is able to chew through just about anything, an ability he some times finds use for in combat. He tends to scream and yell at people to distract and slow them down, while he can move with enough speed to trip and knock back foes in a collision. For his part, Ratatoskr survives the collision due to his own divine protection: He is protected by the blessings of the gods, and a certain degree of hurt will simply not reach him.
