Archer II Me Against The World - Simple Plan Connor considers himself apart from much of the general super heroic community. He's not someone fancy with powers, he doesn't really trust most authorities, and he's more than willing to let them know that. He prefers to operate in some of the worse parts of the city that he considers below the notice of most of the fancy heroes. Connor very much consider himself and his slowly growing circle of friends and allies to be alone against the world. Bleed - Divide Music Archer is just a normal person. Sure, he has received extensive training, but there's is nothing super powered about him. He is a master archer, but there's many of those. Where he stands out from other bowmen is just how tough he is, getting back on his feet even after taking hits that should kill a normal man. He might not exactly be the last to bleed, like the song says, but he'll be the last one standing. And of course, he does have some of the anger issues alluded to in the lyrics. Heroes - Shinedown Connor's heroes might not be dead and gone, but his greatest hero is the first Archer and FORCE Ops, with the fate of all but Archer I being left ambigious at best. He feels that FORCE Ops were given a bad rep for their methods during the Iron Age, and while his own differ, he is trying to carry on their legacy, letting them still live on in him. Everybody's Gonna Know My Name - Matt White While he might not feel the need to be approved by the wider hero community, Connor is determined to prove his worth to everyone. He's not going to be a nobody, he wants to be somebody that others will know and respect, he will redeem the Archer identity. Ready Aim Fire - Imagine Dragons Connor is doing things his own way, he doesn't seek to be accepted by the wider hero community, carrying on the theme of him carrying on the legacy of the Iron Age. And, well, ready aim fire just fits perfectly as a theme for an archer. Slinger's Song - Bastion OST Just a cool theme. The kind that plays in the background when Archer is busy being a badass and lyrics aren't necessary. Lawless Western undertones, someone that goes his own way no matter what others might think. One For the Money - One For the Money *EXPLICIT LYRICS* That final moment, the decisive battle, it all comes down to this. The final shot, the perfect moment where Archer lines up the arrow to take down the villain. Defy You - The Offspring Archer might fall down. He might lose, but he'll keep coming back, he won't give up, and he'll be damn sure to defy anyone that says otherwise. He's not a calm individual, he gets angry, he gets pissed off, and he uses that to keep going, no matter what. Fight - All Good Things Fight! Fight for everyone, fight for everything! Fight against anything and everyone that comes to take him down or endanger others! Connor will do it, with just a bow and an arrow. He might not have powers of any kind, but he will keep fighting for everyone, whether they want him to or not. Six Shooter - Coyote Kisses A more fun theme! Not something that's come up quite yet, but I imagine that Connor will have some trouble if he comes up against someone that he's attracted to. He's very much the type that'll use a battle to flirt, being more attracted to someone based on their prowess and skills than just their looks.

GM Concrete. Glass. Asphalt. A lot of the usual building materials. And something else. Steel, near the floor. Somethind under the asphalt. And traces of chemicals, something that felt, for a lack of better words, blue.

Archer II "Yeah. Facs' powers pretty much all got something to do with how much he sucks," Archer added with a slightly sly grin. Now, he and Facs were joking around with each other. When they first met the two of them had almost gotten into a brawl. It was weird how things changed. Reaching for an arrow, Connor fired it across to the warehouse, a line trailing behind, getting ready to move towards it. And not be carried anymore, if he could help it.

GM Rebellion gave chase above the rooftops. The Takazumi-gumi moved on the streets. They moved away from the festivities, into a small alley that seemed almost entire depopulated by now.

REBELLION The monster could talk. Carnifex? Rebellion remembered that. It had clashed with some of MarsTech's goons a while ago. Allegiance unknown, but seen around a girl riding different creatures. The Dreamer? It had a master, then. It was fear, it was nightmare. Was it like the Terror, in its own way? "Rebellion." His answer was short. Rebellion's eyes glowed as he watched it. He didn't need this. Not right now. He was busy. The Takazumi-gumi were moving away. Without another word, he started moving, leaping across the rooftops to keep up.

Casper was running late. Of course he was running late. Not a lot, just fifteen minutes or so, but still, not the best first impression. He had his excuses, of course. He had his reasons. Like stopping a couple of the Devil's Advocates from trying to cause chaos along the way, but, y'know. This was a meeting with Comrade Frost. About the Freedom League. Not the best first impression to be late. Flying as fast as he could, Casper finally reached the front door of Dobrinksi's and was let in, urrying to where Frost was supposed to be. By moving through the floors and coming out of the floor not far from Frost. "Sorry, sorry! I got held up, had to stop some bad guys along the way."

GM Everything was silent for a moment, as the people inside the palace just watched what the artificial woman before them had accomplished. *tick* "Oh, come on. Let her in, we clearly need her help." There was silence on the other end, then the gates slowly opened. They were automated, driven by gears and clockwork, much like the robot. A man with short blonde hair and a pair of welder's goggles over his eyes stood on the other side. He wore a once white uniform, covered in oil and grime. He was smiling. "Hello, Miss Katastroff. It is so nice to meet you properly. Your work is inspiring." *tock* "Oh, but where are my manners. My name is Doctor Victor Frankenstein."

GM The security guard took notes, but shook her head. "No, there was an explosion and smoke, then two people were running away from here. Looks like they got away." The man at the computer groaned. "Oh. It's all here, but..." He still didn't seem register Jennifer talking with the security guard at all. "What did they do... what did they..." He stood up. "They... they copied it all? Oh no."

Nevermore II Nevermore dropped from the rafters with a soft, impish laugh, his black cape spreading out and slowing his fall until he landed next to Outrider and the, still stuck, Dr. Midas. He stood up with his cape draped around his shoulders, the shiny teal raven on his chest visible. It was pure luck the golden guy didn't have some kind of weapons in his helmet... or didn't think to use them. "Hit him at the side of the head instead of head on, I'm seeing some heat build up there."

GM *CLANG!* Outrider's fist collided with helmet and... nothing. The doctor laughed behind the helmet, the same annoying cackling sound. "Ha! It will take more than that to silence the great Dr. Midas! Everything about me is golden, ape!" And yet... despite his efforts, he could not quite break the ice.

Since he's snared, that's a hit. And Midas tanks again: 26 Midas tries to break free: DC23 TOU save for the Snare: 27 Nevermore drops down in melee and uses Aid to help Outrider to hit him better DC10: 26, pass, that's a +3 bonus to El's next attack. 15 - Outrider - 2HP - Bruise (x1) 15 - Dr. Midas - Bound & Helpless 10 - Nevermore II - 2HP - Unharmed

Little Mermaid II Muirne had already come up to the pig that Mette had pushed away with the water, so Mette leapt towards another, the one that had already been hurt. She had to try to take it down quick, they really shouldn't keep this going for longer than necessary. This felt so wrong, fighting these people... they didn't want to do this, they'd been changed by whatever had happened. She cursed at herself as her punch passed by the surprisingly quick pig.

Mette leaps to the third little pig and punches: 14 I'll spend a HP to reroll: 21 Still missing! Current setup: Shadowborne is engaging First Little Pig, in between it and the rest Little Mermaid is keeping Third Little Pig busy, positioning herself between it and the rest Zhenschina-voin is in melee with the Big Bad Wolf Synapse is still free Second Little Pig is close to the wolf @Tiffany Korta is up! 24 - Little Mermaid II - 4HP - Unharmed 20 - Zhenschina-voin - 2HP - Bruise (x1) 20 - Big Bad Wolf - Unharmed 17 - Synapse - 3HP - Bruise (x2) 12 - Three Little Pigs -- First Little Pig - Bruise (x1) -- Second Little Pig - Unharmed -- Third Little Pig - Bruise (x2) 9 - Shadowborne - 3HP - Unharmed

"But... I was not trying to be funny! We should try to get it back before it returns! Do you think it will simply forget being left behind?" Pan shouted after Danica. He sounded genuinely remorseful, looking after Danica and Judy. With a heavy sigh, he seemed to give up, then called after them again. "It is a thing that happens!"

Miss, yes! @RedSpine is up!

Last one down. Good. Pulling out an arrow with standard head, Connor moved towards the men stuck in the riot foam. "Any chance you're gonna tell me what this whole thing was all about?" He kind of doubted he'd get anywhere with them like this. He had taken them all down in moments, but either this guy was a pushover, or he just wouldn't talk at all.

Nevermore II That... looked bad. Charlie had reached the rafters above Dr. Midas and El, out of sight and out of mind. So far, so good, he hadn't seen him, but... he kinda had El stuck. That wasn't really the best thing that could happen, but... he could do something about that. With a slight grin, he reached into his utility belt and pulled out a small capsule, turning it in his hands for a moment, before dropping it down on Midas, while Charlie mouthed "bombs away," to no one but himself. The small silvery capsule fell right in front of Dr. Midas, then exploded into a burst of ice that quickly covered the armored villain's body, leaving only his head free, and cutting off the beam that had caught the Outrider.

GM "Of course not! But the very best is!" Midas was laughing now, slowly lifting Outrider above the ground, before quickly slamming her into it again and again. "Not so mighty now, are you? Not when you face the superior golden intellect of Dr. Midas!" He laughed again. The noise was annoying, to put it mildly. It was a weird cackling sound, like a witch, but with less charm.

Midas uses the Grapple to damage you. Give me a DC24 TOU save. Nevermore uses a Snare vs. Midas: 14. Let's reroll that: 21 with +10 added, for a hit. DC18 Ref save for Midas: 8... that's... bound and helpless. Well, that breaks the grapple. Outrider is free to act against the snared Midas. 15 - Outrider - 3HP - Unharmed 15 - Dr. Midas - Unharmed 10 - Nevermore II - 2HP - Unharmed

GHOST No. Nope. It was not gonna happen. Casper was not gonna let it happen. He'd caught it on the news, a baby stolen from the hospital by people in robes. The hospital was going to be swarming with people, sure, but he'd get there too, flying through Freedom as fast as he could. Ghost tended to take things happening to children kind of personal.

Nevermore II Shine - Matt Beilis Shine shows a lot of Charlie's goals and philosophies: He wants to become the best at what he does. He might idolize the Ravens, but he's not content to just remain in the shadow, he wants to stand out and, well, shine, and he wants everyone to see it as it happens. At some point, Charlie wants to be the one that's called in when you need help, the one that solves the riddles and saves everyone he can. Spotlight - Saliva Eventually, Charlie will be ready to take his place in the spotlight, what he has been planning, but that's not enough. This song is more about Charlie reaching out to his friends, pulling them along with him towards the spotlight. He might want to shine, but he wants his friends to step into the spotlight alongside him. Batman 1966 Theme on Electric Guitar - Patricio GC Charlie might be a member of the Raven Family, but he is not quite as dark as either of the Ravens have been. Attitude-wise, I'm not sure I would even consider him a cowl, and well, what better way to show off his connection to the family, but still being a bit lighter and softer, than with a version of the Batman 1966 theme? Night of Your Life - WAR*HALL Aside from his connections to the Raven Family and Claremont, Charlie is still very much an unknown in the super hero world, being "just" the third Raven's sidekick. Like a few other songs, this one follows much of the same principles of Shine, with what Charlie wants to be, but while Shine would be Charlie's main theme, I consider this to be one that would play during fights. Born for This - The Score Charlie is nothing if not confident. He knows that he's good, and he makes little effort to hide it. Even before his training and guidance with Alek, he managed to figure out the Ravens' secret identities, even if it took a while. He's struggled through training and fighting and he'll keep coming. He might mistakes along the way, but he's sure that he was born to be a hero, and he's more than willing to extend his hand to anyone else to help them along the way Mercenary - Panic! At the Disco Background music for fights! If Charlie didn't have to keep focusing while fighthing, this is what he would be playing. In This Diary - The Ataris Claremont theme! Good memories of growing up with his friends and all the crazy stuff they're getting up to at Claremont! Of course, their fireworks and parties are a bit different than what's in the song, like forming super teams, fighting bad guys and so much more. It is just a happy song about growing up and all that you get to experience during that, which is what's happening to Charlie and his friends right now. Remember, We Got Your Back - Persona Q2 New Cinema Labyrinth Charlie will be by his friends' side if they need him. He's got their back, no matter what they need. One Hell of a Team - AmaLee/Divide Music Well, Charlie and his friends do make one hell of a team! His growing leadership skills have only strengthened his resolve to create an official team with his friends, something that will last beyond just the time spent at Claremont. Get the Gang Back - Miracle of Sound Aspirations of what Charlie hopes to do with the team he's been slowly building. They might not be the Freedom League, the Interceptors or anyone big like that, but they'll be together a long while, and they'll be making a difference to make the world a better place.

Archer II "Facs, this is Shooting Star." Archer motioned with his hand towards the younger heroine as he made the introductions. "Stronger than she looks. She was attacked by someone way too heavily armed for a regular drug thing, things lead to this warehouse." He pointed at it. "Star, Facsimile. Prep school hero. He's a good guy." "The place'll likely be empty, but we're all here in case it's not. Hoping your powers might help us look for some clues, Facs. We're looking for a new super drug I've been tracking for a while." Give them a moment, do their introductions. It wouldn't work right if they all ran in without any idea what the others could do.

OOC for this. @Kaede Kimura, @Exaccus

GM Archer sent a message to the friend he had mentioned, then, with a groan, had agreed to let Shooting Star carry him, as long as they made a stop along the way. Not long after, they were off. It was time to end this.

GM A warehouse by Kissinger, Southside, Freedom City August 24th, 2020 4:30 PM With the police arriving, Archer and Shooting Star had left the fight at the school behind, heading towards Southside. Before leaving, he had called Facsimile, told him where to meet them. Archer had not been amused being carried, and had insisted on a quick stop at one of his caches around town to stock up on arrows. Just in case. Now, they were ready. Standing by a rooftop on Kissinger, Archer just waited for Facsimile to arrive before they could get started.
