  1. Nevermore II Who's the Raven? Yeah, alright, El really wasn't from around here, was she? "Ha, you got a lot to learn about this world," Charlie answered, with a slight laugh to his voice, while he put on his own helmet and moved to the bike, putting on. He patted the space behind him. "C'mon, hold on to me or behind, up to you." Once El was on, he started the bike. It was incredibly silent, barely making any noise as he drove through the streets, waving in and out between cars. "Ah, don't worry about it. We'll find some good space to have a race some day, then I promise I won't tell anyone if you cry a bit when I leave you in the dust." His tone was obviously joking and playful. After driving a bit, he started his explanation. "So, the Raven. Well, he's kind of a big deal. The first Raven was one of the founding members of the Freedom League, and well, yeah. Kind of a big deal. There's been a few, they're all awesome. Can't really tell too much, but the current Raven's been teaching me how to do all this. He's kind of serious, though. Doesn't really socialize all that much."
  2. GM The trash hit the wall where Freestyle had been the moment before. She reached the top of the roof, grabbing on to it and pulling herself up. "A trash can? Really?" she shouted down to Chimera. "That's just gross! Sorry hun, but you lose! Catch ya some other time!" With that, Freestyle turned away and raced down the rooftop, away from Chimera, leaping across buildings and quickly disappearing into the city.
  3. Nope, and Freestyle escapes! So... what'll you do now?
  4. Forever Boy Pan did not look like himself as he walked in. Well, maybe he kind of did. It was his usual grin, the usual eyes and messy red hair. His clothes were different, though. Black pants, a black leather jacket, with several different buttons attached with pins all over the jacket. The only thing that really looked like himself was the lighter red t-shirt that he wore under the jacket, with a big black messily drawn smiley face, with the eyes as crosses and the tongue stuck out. He looked around a second, before raising his hand to wave as he spotted his friends and teammates, quickly floating over to them. "Danica, Judy! It is good to see you!" Unusual clothes aside, he seemed very much himself. Noticing Elena, he looked up at her at and whistled, impressed. "My, you are a big one. I am Pan, pleased to meet you."
  5. No damage. Since you passed the reflex save, the TOU save is only DC20. And that's a hit. TOU vs. DC23: 17, bruised and dazed! Fort vs. DC18 Sickened: 14 Still sickened, refreshing the condition so he can't roll until the next one @RedSpine give me an IC! 23 - Shift - 2HP - Bruise (x1) - Skipping until further notice from Heritage 23 - Arrow IV - 0HP - Unharmed 23 - Nightscale - 1HP - Unharmed 14 - Stinger - Unharmed, Grappled by Nightscale 12 - Toxin - Unconscious, Bound and Helpless 10 - Chump - Unharmed, Bruised, Dazed, Raging, Sickened (-2 on ATK/Checks, DC18 Fort) 10 - Nevermore II - 1HP - Unharmed 10 - Bluebird - Unconscious 7 - Howl - 3HP - Unharmed 7 - Casanova - Unconscious, Bruise (x1), Entangled (Rank 8 Snare: -2 ATK/DEF, -4 DEX, Anchored branch on tree above him, upside down) Visual Obscure, Darkness: 6/10 rounds, on Initiative 10. Auditory Obscure centered on 100 feet radius from Howl's previous location.
  6. The one not directly under you can see the other. The one under you is currently looking away from the other guard.
  7. Nevermore II Charlie took a second to look down at Toxin. It felt off. She really didn't strike him as being as bad Casanova or Stinger, but... he couldn't risk it, right? Luke seemed to have Stinger held pretty well, but Chump was still fighting off whatever Zach was doing to him. "Arrow, help Nightscale. I'll help Howl." Reaching into his belt he pulled out a tripwire while he ran towards Chump and Howl. Taking aim, he fired it around Chump's legs and pulled, and... Chump didn't even move. Damn.
  8. GM "I told you to let go of me!" Stinger struggled against Nightscale's grasp again. She was grunting, trying hard to break free, but simply put, he was just too strong. Whatever skills she otherwise had, she knew that she'd be done if she couldn't break free. Especially not if anyone ganged up on her while she was held like this. Chump stumbled and shook his head, flailing wildly after Howl. "Stop hidin'!" Oh, he was still pissed off. His friends falling one by one, and not even able to see or hear the guy attacking him? With another shout, he slammed his into the ground, creating another shockwave around him.
  9. Stinger tries to break the grapple vs 34 Standard Action: Break grapple: 16, nope, still grappled! Chump heals and does another shockwave near Howl. Recovery roll: 14 vs DC10. Bruise healed. Standard Action: Shockwave hitting Howl. @RedSpine give me a DC20 Reflex Save vs. Area, followed by a DC25/20 TOU save vs. Damage Nevermore goes to help out Howl Move Action: Run closer to Howl and Chump, but staying out of range of the shockwaves Standard Action: Throw a Tripwire at Chump: 15, that's a hit. Nevermore's power check for Trip: 17. Chump's Dex save vs. 17: 22 Well, he's not tripped! @RedSpine is up, don't forget the saves! 23 - Shift - 2HP - Bruise (x1) - Skipping until further notice from Heritage 23 - Arrow IV - 0HP - Unharmed 23 - Nightscale - 1HP - Unharmed 14 - Stinger - Unharmed, Grappled by Nightscale 12 - Toxin - Unconscious, Bound and Helpless 10 - Chump - Unharmed, Raging, Sickened (-2 on ATK/Checks, DC18 Fort) 10 - Nevermore II - 1HP - Unharmed 10 - Bluebird - Unconscious 7 - Howl - 3HP - Unharmed 7 - Casanova - Unconscious, Bruise (x1), Entangled (Rank 8 Snare: -2 ATK/DEF, -4 DEX, Anchored branch on tree above him, upside down) Visual Obscure, Darkness: 6/10 rounds, on Initiative 10. Auditory Obscure centered on 100 feet radius from Howl's previous location.
  10. GM "SCREW YOU!" Circing around Justice to get closer to Ultra Girl, Ultio Red fired yet another two-handed blast. "You're a freakin' menace, and I'm gonna take you down!" The last two standing Ultios seemed a bit unsure of what to do at first. The one that had thrown the smoke bomb moved in and punched at Justice, connecting with her side. Justice's armor took care of that. The blaster continued to fire laser blasts despite his allies being in close, but to little luck.
  11. Justice Blaster guy wasn't doing much, but the hit just kept falling on Ultra Girl. She had to get in there, and now. Adjusting a dial on her belt, Justice leapt off her bike and directly into a rainbow portal, coming out right next to Ultra Girl, delivering a quick kick to the side of the armored Ultio's head, sending him face first into the ground. "You got issues, you know that, right?"
  12. Justice Defense status: M.O.V.E. System set to Armor Plating for DEF+5/TOU+15, Imp. Tou 10 Free Action: Set Z-Space Portal to Combat Teleport Move Action: Teleport into melee Standard Action: Justice Strike vs. Tank: 28, that's a crit, DC30 TOU for tank. He can't make that, so KO Ultio Red Standard action: Attack Ultra Girl at close range with a blast again. She's singleminded in that!: 29! That's a crit! Give me a DC31 TOU save. Ultio Suits Blaster shoots at Justice! Blast attack: 9, that's a miss. Stealth attacks Justice in melee: 26, that's a crit! DC26 TOU save for Justice TOU Save: 35, tanked And you're up! 20 - Ultio Red - Unharmed 20 - Ultio Suits x7 - 5 down (1x Blaster, 1x Stealth) 15 - Ultra Girl - 2HP - Bruise (x4) 12 - Justice - 4HP - Unharmed Obscure - Normal Vision - 1/3 rounds, at Init 20
  13. Gather Information DC10: Rocket debuted in late 2019. He was seen occasionally in 2020, being officially introduced to the world by Johnny Rocket II in May of that year. He has joined the Atom Academy as one of the initial members in early 2021. DC15: Rocket's real name is Jason 'Jay' Jacob Wade, the nephew of Johnny Rocket II and great-grandchild of Johnny Rocket I. He has been living with his uncles since 2010. DC20: Rocket's father is David Ross, the villainous Speed Freak, one of Johnny Rocket II's recurring foes. He is currently incarcerated. DC25: Rocket's mother was briefly drugged by his father and aided him in his crimes. Since she was saved in 2010 she has remained in rehabilitation since then. Rocket doesn't like to talk about it. Knowledge: Popular Culture DC10: Like his uncle, Rocket actively stands up for LBGT+ rights. DC15: Rocket is an inventor and would-be scientist. He's not just using his speed for heroics, but advanced inventions as well. DC20: Who is the fastest speedster? Not Rocket, but he might just be faster than his uncle Johnny! Knowledge: Physical Sciences DC15: Johnny Rocket I's powers came from being soaked in experimental rocket fuel, which was somehow passed on to his grandchild Johnny Rocket II and great-grandchild Rocket. DC20: Rocket's speed is not quite physics breaking, but they don't seem to quite follow the regular rules of physics either! It's weird!

  15. Ghost Gather Information DC5: Ghost has been an active member of the Freedom City super heroic scene since 2003, but has tended to stay away from larger gatherings of heroes, working mostly by himself or doing impromptu team ups. His reputation is all over the place, from responsible super hero doing his best to outright villain, depending on who you ask. He is generally accepted as a hero by the super heroic community. DC10: Some believe that Ghost might be an actual ghost driven by vengeance to do good! He can fly and phase through solid objects. He is a big fan of hot dogs and coffee. DC15: While seen all over Freedom, Ghost is believed to primarily operate around the Fens and Southside. He is generally not a fan of teenage super heroes, but does his best to help them anyway. DC20: Ghost is not an actual ghost, he just has ghost-like powers. He doesn't speak about it a lot, but he claims to have saved the world at least twice. DC25: Ghost's intangibility seems to have issues with cold. Knowledge: Popular Culture DC10: Ghost made a few headlines back in 2003, thrilling the city and parts of the nation with his powers on live television. He suddenly stopped after a few weeks, instead resurfacing as a super hero. Knowledge: Streetwise DC10: Ghost is mainly active around the Fens and Southside. While his powers can pack a punch, he is generally considered one of the more gentle super heroes to be stopped by, as long as you don't endanger civilians, then all bets are off. DC15: There's a lot of criminals in Freedom City that would love to see Ghost permanently ghosted. Casper Balthazar Church Gather Information DC10: Casper is a Freedom City resident, currently living in the Fens. DC15: Casper is divorced from Jessie Taylor Wilson, a well known Freedom City real estate agent. They have a daughter, Carrie Belinda Church, with Jessie having custody. Their relationship is friendly. DC20: Casper never seems to be able to keep a job for long, eventually being fired for being late, sleeping on the job or showing up hurt to work on multiple occasions.
  16. Gonna need an edit on the IC, you're dazed and can't punch back just yet, sorry!
  17. GHOST There it was, that weird feeling again. Casper pulled back slightly, letting it pass by him again, but he shouldn't have been able to feel it at all... just what was this guy doing? And... was he really talking on the phone now? Here? "Really?" He raised an eyebrow behind his goggles, then quickly reached forward, touching the man's shoulder, quick enough to send a sharp pain through his body, then flew forward, straight through him and getting closer to the guy with the axe. "C'mon, I'm right here. Leave everyone else alone, yeah?" The girl with the fire was still hiding, so if he could just get them to focus on him...
  18. GM "GAH! #%&@! You freakin' little %&?#! I'll tear you to #¤%&ing pieces!" Cueball stood in the fire, grasping his axe tightly with on hand while he used the other to try and put it out the burning jacket. He twisted and turned, too distracted to try and find the invisible Sparkler for the moment. "Nah, not our style." Buddy seemed completely unphased by Ghost's attack, not even slowing down at all. His lips pulled back, revealing almost rotting teeth in his mouth. Ghost and Sparkler both felt it again... a sick feeling, spreading out from him. "Gimme a sec, hero." Buddy brought up a phone and started talking, right in front of the surprised Ghost. "Hey, boss, got a couple a' heroes here. Could use some backup."
  19. I think there's been some confusion! Cueball is the guy with the beard! Buddy is the pale guy! I know! I didn't come up with these! Cueball Clears daze Buddy Standard Action: Release a pathogen cloud in the area. DC20 Reflex Save vs. Area, followed by DC20/15 Fortitude Save vs. Stun, for both Ghost and Sparkler. Move Action: Grab his phone and call for backup Ghost Reflex Save: 23, go go evasion 2 Secondary effect from the Stun effect affects Buddy, DC20 Fort save: 20 Standard Action: Attack with Damage Effect effect: 28, that's a hit TOU vs. DC25: 24, that's a bruise! Move Action: Fly away from Buddy, moving in between him and Cueball. You're up 26 - Cueball - Bruise (x1) 21 - Devil's Advocates - 10x Bound and Helpless 19 - Buddy - Bruise (x1) (Secondary effect Damage DC25 on Ghost's turn) 19 - Ghost - 4HP - Unharmed 12 - Sparkler - 2HP - Unharmed
  20. "Mine's 6, so I honestly got no idea if that's something they'll grow out of." It was kind of weird talking with someone else with a kid like this. "She doesn't know about me and well, this whole thing." He motioned around his face with his finger around his mask. "Ex-wife doesn't think she's old enough yet. Can't argue with that, y'know." He thought for a moment, then shook his head. Nah. He'd just met Fleur, she might be a big shot Freedom Leaguer, but they didn't really know each other. Couldn't share too many details.
  21. Atom Academy Housed in Atomic Tower, the Atom Academy is the Atom Family's attempt to expand! Super science! Exploration! Family! Join the Atom Academy, and journey into mystery! Location and Appearance The Atomc Academy is housed on the top 5 floors of Atomic Tower in Midtown Freedom City, formerly known as the Goodman Building. With the opening of the Atom Academy, the Atom Family has expanded the building, adding 5 extra floors on top of the Nucleus, the former top 5 floors of the building. From the outside, the building appears much like any other skyscraper in Midtown Freedom City, aside from the massive atom symbol of three interlinked rings on the Southern side of the top five floors. The three rings are blue, yellow and red respectively. Inside, the building appears larger than on the outside. You will always be able to find another room, and the laws of physics seem to be a plaything. A hangar of Atom Family vehicles are available, as are highly advanced technology to aid the research and exploration of the academy's members. Significance The Atom Academy is the legacy and expansion of the Atom Family: The next generation of science heroes and explorers of the strange and unexplained! Any heroes interested in learning scientific fields, journeying into mystery or just fighting mad scientists across the known and unknown omniverse! The Academy is attended by a host of heroes, geniuses and others, who want to make the world a better place, one discovery at a time. People The Atom Family ALEX: The Artificial Life-form EXperiment still keeps the Nucleus, and, by extension, the brand new Atom Academy, in the best of shape. Chase Atom: Chase Atom have taken little interest in Atom Academy beyond agreeing to its creation, but will still visit from time to time. Cosmo the Moon Monkey: Cosmo seems to appear at Atom Academy whenever something goes wrong. Dr. Atom: While Dr. Atom remains dead, a computer program of his personality and memories haunts the halls of Atomic Tower, keeping the tower running. Maximus Atom: Next to Tesla, Maximus is the member of the Atom Family most likely to be seen at the Academy at any given point. Tesla Atom: Tesla Atom is the headmistress of Atom Academy, having designed the Academy and being responsible for recruiting many of its members. Victoria Atom: Victoria spends little time in the scientific environment at the Academy, but is always willing to tag along for the next adventure. Academy members Bee: Melissa Bowles joins the Atom Academy in pursuit of her doctorate in chemistry. Rocket: The nephew of Johnny Rocket II has joined Atom Academy to learn about his own super speed and earn a degree in quantum physics. History Late 2019: Tesla Atom proposes her idea for the Atom Academy to the rest of the Atom Family. Mid 2020: Expansion and rebranding of the Goodman Building begins. Late 2020: The now rebranded Atomic Tower stands ready, with the new top 5 floors dedicated to the Atom Academy. February 2020: The Atom Academy opens its doors.
  22. Nevermore II Charlie suppressed a laugh, the sound coming out as a bit of a snort instead. "Ha... right. I should introduce you to the Raven at some point. Obstacle courses are the least of the things he's put me through before he let me put on the cape in the first place." Crossing his arms, he couldn't keep the laugh away this time. "Sure, if you want it to be a competition, but this is a city. Not always easy to get a car through the streets." Moving to the back, he opened a compartment and pulled out a pair of helmets, tossing one to El. "Better put this on, don't need anyone catching us, right?" He continued while putting on his own helmet. "So, where do you want to go? Downtown? Liberty or Riverside Park with the heroes statues? Or Millenium Mall, maybe? Kinda doubt they got anyting like those places where you're from."
  23. I'll wait with putting him up on the bank until there's a few more sheets ready.
  24. Forever Boy Pan flew off the ship before the crash and before Micah's stunt to save it from itself, a trail of glimmer and gold staying close by Eira, until she hit the sand. He was silent, a rare thing as he looked across the landscape around them. The beach, the sea, the sky and everything, it was different, somehow. The Forever Boy did not seem to register Eira's question or Micah's exhaustion. Not quite yet, no. He was smiling. An odd smile, slightly wider than it should be, perhaps. "I am home."
  25. GM The ship fell and fell, the pirates yelled and screamed and then... a gust of wind from below, the might of the Thunderbird on full display! And yet, the mighty vessel cracked as it collided with the beach, several pirates being thrown to the sand that now surrounded the ship.
