Jack of Tales

This is the version from before I got much help here, it's mainly focused on using the actual blood as a weapon as opposed to affecting the blood of others http://www.atomicthinktank.com/viewtopi ... s&start=15 I believe somewhere above in this forum is the section I used for the version of her that made use of her blood powers to manipulate others blood as opposed to just her own.

Kizzy ate her dog in silence and thought about this. The last fight she had been in had ended pretty messily and she was still confused as to what had really happened with her own powers. But at the same time, she felt as if she had a responsibility to at least attempt to decrease crime in the area. Her parents would sure support the endeavor, but was it the right thing to do? Kizzy had often thought about whether superheroes were real heroes who fought crime or did they just bring more crime about? A patrol was just street level though, right? And that was combating crime when you saw it, kind of like a citizen's watch. So that was okay. At least, it should be. After a moment's hesitation Kizzy spoke, "That sounds like a good idea! I've had some pretty rough experiences with fighting real super villains. But I hate criminal activity and doing a patrol is sort of like going on a citizen's watch, but we actually have the ability to do something about it. We won't actually interfere with an authority's operations or anything...it's just helping people out. Bleh! Now I'm babbling. Okay, yes. I'd like to go sometime.

We could try and nab a Gm and throw about a couple of mooks? Or try posting on the main hero board. I don't want to lose Velocity either!

Congratulations on graduation! I have one more year of undergrad before going to law school...if I can get in that is

After Lynn puts her shades back on Kiera smiles and lets out a sigh. "That's awesome! I really do suck at lying when I'm not ready for it. Thanks for not pushing the matter, I'm not really sure what I'm allowed to say when it comes to stuff. But it's nothing important, honest. So, how do you do that? You're a shapechanger then? Like a changeling or..something. My shadows have always been with me, at least since I was a pretty young kid. I think I'm technically a metahuman or whatever it is the scientists call it nowadays. Is it the same way with you by chance? It takes a few seconds for the idea to rise up, but Kizzy's eyes widen slightly as she has a sort of mini-revelation. "Any chance you and Velocity know each other in the field? I hadn't thought about it before but if you have powers than it's kind of obvious..."

Hmm now to figure out if I should press the fight or not. It's pretty apparent that Kizzy can't touch Icarus!

Dear god. I think you all just broke my character's brain for the moment. Too much bright light, big words and scary nuns in holy armor.

Kizzy stands around in complete shock. She looks around and mutters incoherently as the roman kills unconscious foes, a holy woman in some form of battlesuit annihilates a fourth and the Doctor talks to the woman about future, technology and a load of words that she has no idea what they could even possibly mean. Out of all that is said she has only five words that can make their way to her mouth. "My name isn't Kitty."

Yea I did. I made multiple PL builds for her too..lol I think one of them is posted over on ATT. Do you still want the link? It looks like bloodseeker is fully approved and completed

http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1607169/ Grapple: 26 which is the highest I can actually get. suppose it was kind of useless to roll against your 30+!

No idea. I came along to beat on stuff >.>

The girl looks a little shocked to hear this and grins at the hotdog vendor. Really? I always thought ketchup was so...well, American." Kiera looks shocked for a moment and seems to fumble for the right words. Shit I had to go and say Claremont didn't I. I'd managed to make it this far without even saying where I went to school and I go and mess up with a little comment. "Er...yea. It's a good school. I uh...am pretty isolated there....not many erm...superhumans. At all. Well, none really. Yea. Uh....I don't actually pay tuition. It's a..scholarship! Yea, a scholarship. My parents are pretty poor right now but they wanted me to go to a good school. It's a private school, best in the area really. My grades aren't the best but they like having foreign students." Go Kizzy! Good save...now I just hope that sounded convincing enough.

I'm cool with that...how do we know if he succeeds? Do I roll something? >

The AoO thread made me think about where Kiera's dark powers came from. Not sure on where yet but its all dark, cold and lifeless making her a bit more...cruel if the right switch is hit. She's not going to try and run or anything, most likely just go along with anything. I mean its not as if she wasn't just defending herself! It also shows that she 1) doesn't know much about her own powers and 2) can't yet control them fully.

Yea I wish I had realized when I made her that having anything outside the array means it's going to suck that damn Deflect power is sitting there soaking up points I could use in the array! So is the drain since I don't think I made it right. I wanted soemthing to simulate that the tentacles slowly drain away life but I think as they are they only affect the first hit with snare. Anyway: Shadow 1: Move...and does nothing? Shadow 2: Aid action to Kiera Kiera: Strike: 17...and miss http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1606315/

Realizing that her tactics aren't working all that well, the woman calls the shadows to her to attempt something new. The twin creatures move forward and begin to dart in and out of combat with Icarus. None of them lands a strike, but rather they seem to be providing distraction. At the same time, the leather clad girl's arms begin to grow shady and black. From her elbows down appear arms that are as identical to the claws of her shadows. Already in melee range, she attempts to slash at Icarus's face. She lets out a hiss of irritation as he moves and dodges the attack. Her hand clenches and the claws collapse back to whatever shadowy dimension they had come from.

*considers options* *teleports from scene*

The priest slumped to the floor and Kiera stared at the corpse. The circle of darkness around her dropped and she seemed completely oblivious to the battle going on around her. With the darkness also disappears the black claws from her hand which is followed by a sprinkling of blood onto the floor. Her hands are clear of evidence, but her mind is not. Why did that happen? I...I only intended to knock him out but...where did that come from? Oh god.. I KILLED someone!

Okay! I'm still learning how stuff works in this game

Gah, that's going to leave an emotional mark o.o

The girl hisses at him and flies down a few feet, as if moving will throw his aim off again. "Stop fooling around! Kill him!" She yells at the shadows, angry with their inability to harm their foe. She angrily throws her hands out and a stream of shadow tentacles fly forward attempting to enwrap Icarus. Unfortunately, they fail but continue to writhe around him. The shadows reach forward, attempting but to touch the target of their mistress's irritation. One manages to catch hold of his arm and he can feel its cold, icy fingers. The other's attempt flies wide and it floats to his left.

Nice saves. I thought you could sustain darkness as a minor action? Edit: epic fail for me! Kiera's Snare: 9 It has homing 2 so it'll try again on the next two rounds to hit. It's also linked to a drain effect ^^ Shadow 1 drain touch: 16 Shadow 2 drain touch: 27; DC:16, not much chance of that doing anything! http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1603883/

Ouch the rolls on this one! I'm doing devilishly good today. Kiera's blast (the discus; indirect attack): 29. It also has Homing 2 Shadow 1: Strike 22 Shadow 2: Strike 24 Link: http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1603465/

Icarus's reaction brings a painfully loud laugh from the woman. The two shadows attacking him move again, slowly rotating around him and attempt to rend his flesh again. Now he is faced with one in front of him and one behind. Their mistress floats where she is, seated upon a writhing pile of black limbs. It appears as if she is content to let the shadows do her work for her. However, once Icarus's vision is blocked ever so slightly by her pet she clicks her fingers and motions toward him. A spiraling discus of dull gray appears from one of the shadows chests and hurtles at Icarus. Along its edge run razor sharp spikes rotating quickly around its perimeter.

Yay my first critical! Or at least a threat.. Strike: 28 Critical threat: 25!!! Now I need to read how crits work in M&M anyway >< I'd also like to note that Kiera was doing lethal damage (decided before the crit, Ouch bad choice) So that's a toughness of 31!
