"Nothing specific, actually," Tenebrous shook her head, "I was given an address and some directions. This place isn't even near the place I was told to go." She smiled big, "I guess we head them off at the pass?" She chuckled and looked over to Crow, "Well, that is certainly one way to deal with things." She floated in a lotus style position as she watched the interrogation. "The Freedom League says it takes all kinds," she nodded, "but to not go overboard." She sighed a little bit confused, "I know I have my stopping point. What about this guy?"

"Well, it look like we have plenty of witnesses," Tenebrous smiled at Farridah. Watching Crow drag the conscious Crusader over to the giant trashbin and then huck him in it was something she'd call a lesson. Sure their were nice ways to go about things, but some needed less social finesse. Taking stock of Crow, he seemed to be in the same age bracket as her. Maybe they could compare notes after this thing is done? Tenebrous turned to King of Suits when he addressed her and shook her head. "No, actually I am here on 'official business'. Someone tip me off about racial gang violence. I came here to investigate. I really do not know this city that well, but I have good tracking skills. It is a big place here." She stopped talking and smiled, "Sorry about that, I am rambling."

Tenebrous nodded to King of Suits. She didn't expect others to give their real names. She was just giving the heroic citizen a bit more leeway in the department of names. Though it seemed this citizen was more than met the eye. After Crow was suited up and introduced himself, she grinned, "It is nice of you to join us, Crow." She looked to both men, "Well, it look like we have a neighborhood watch. I think you are in The Fens for the same reason as I? Nasty hateful people doing nasty hateful things?" She pointed to the ground, "Like these fellows." Tenebrous faced the Crusader after he cried out for mercy. Her outline sucked in more light than usual as she floated enough to see the man eye to eye, "He does belong here though. He pay his rent and bills just like any other. We all deserve a chance, right? No matter who we are. As long as we don't hurt anyone not hurting anyone else!" She sighed and pulled her hair back, stepping away from the Crusader. A thought ran through her mind like a light bulb going off. She turned back to the talkative Crusader, "How many groups of you are out here tonight? Where are the rest of you?"

Player Name: Maxine Walters Character Name: Mens Rea Power Level: 12 Trade-Offs: None In Brief: Your memories are betraying you. Aren't you proud of yourself? Alternate Identity: Cindy Hane (former possessor of the body), Halxofyq'ta'maswx (true name), Lord of Twisted Memories, Lord of Forgetfulness, Lord of Mental Slip-Ups (titles) Identity: Secret (no one knows Cindy is a burnout shell and that a demon lord is possessing her) Birthplace: Hell Occupation: Demon Lord Affiliations: Hell Family: Too long to list Description: Age: Ancient Apparent Age: early twenties (at the moment) Gender: Female (at the moment) Ethnicity: Half-Japanese Half Caucasian (at the moment) Height: 5 foot (at the moment) Weight: 100 pounds (at the moment) Eyes: Green (at the moment) Hair: Blonde (at the moment) The body Halxofyq'ta'maswx inhabits is one Cindy Hane. Cindy was a short girl with an hourglass figure that was mostly paid for and very well put together. She had a pixie style haircut. Her eyes were very vibrant. Her wardrobe consisted what was ever popular at the time. When Halxofyq'ta'maswx took her body she remained the same, but it removed Cindy from her former life. The once striking image now looks disheveled and chaotic. She/It has some followers but no one thinks Cindy is Cindy whenever she appears. Power Descriptions: Subtle manipulations of the min. That's all. Or is it? No one's actually "felt" what Halxofyq'ta'maswx's power feels like. They are overloaded with bad and or changed memories. History: This is a tale of two people. One a selfish girl who got everything she wanted. The other of a demon lord who worked for everything it got. Cindy Hane was born rich. That wasn't the problem at all. The problem was that Cindy was never told "No". Cindy got what she wanted. She was a spoiled rotten child and a hellion on top of it. You could basically buy her attention if you had something she wanted. If her manipulative ways didn't work then she'd most likely have a fit in some manner. She was not a very nice person to be around when she had her fits. Everyone paid for it. Unfortunately, Cindy's last fit would be the "end" of her. She was interested in occult lore at the time and wanted a personal pet demon. She couldn't find anyone who wanted to participate in her ritual. So she did it herself. Not knowing what half the things she was supposed to be doing she went through the motions angry. What was supposed to be an obedient demon servant turned out to be Halxofyq'ta'maswx. The demon lord looked into her soul and saw a perfect host body for this trip to the mortal realm. Halxofyq'ta'maswx eliminated every bit of Cindy metaphysically. The only thing that was left were Cindy's body... and her memories. Halxofyq'ta'maswx was in total control of her now. Halxofyq'ta'maswx's story is a bit simpler. It started out as a lowly servant demon, through power plays and manipulative subterfuge it wracked up title after title, leaving a bloody swath across the hellish landscape. And then it was summoned to the mortal realm. Personality & Motivation: Halxofyq'ta'maswx's motivation is to make people miserable. It's in it's job description. It also has a love for power in it's own realm. It usurped the former lord of twisted memories qute handily and fights tooth and nail to keep every title it has. Powers & Tactics: Halxofyq'ta'maswx is not a type of foe you fight bare knuckle in the middle of the street. It is a sneaky manipulator, preferring to stalk it's prey a while before it slips in unnoticed to start tormenting. While Halxofyq'ta'maswx will mostly focus on one person at a time it's been known to take on a group of weaker-willed people. If it comes down to a straight out fight, Halxofyq'ta'maswx will latch on to the the foe's soul and regress it to heap of pity and self-loathing. Halxofyq'ta'maswx will not kill mortals, keeping them alive means their something to play with later on. Only when Halxofyq'ta'maswx knows it's fighting a fatal battle will it return the favor. An eye for an eye, as they say.

Tenebrous watched as the plain clothes hero easily disarmed the rest of the standing Crusaders. She was about to raid down on them again, but they looked like they wanted to surrender. Which was good, but was that all of them? Twelve people on one guy? That didn't even look like Zita's grandchild they were attacking. She flew downwards, sstill keeping her guard up and walked towards the two other. "Good evening," she curtsied to King of Suits then to Crow. Looking at Crow with a smile, she crossed her arms, "I am assuming you know my name as I shout it out when you took the first Crusader's knife? But then I do not have your name," she looked over to King, "or your name either." She looked around defensively as the others tied up the criminals, as if she was expecting more to pop out at any moment. "My name is Tenebrous, Lady of Darkness." She smiled at Crow again, "You can call me Lilian."

Strafing 4 targets with autofire. 14 to hit DC27 Tuoughness.

Heroes were popping out of the woodworks, it seemed, but that didn't deter Tenebrous from the fight. Zita's grandbabies would be safe. She whistled down to the group of Crusaders, "It seems like you are surrounded." She grinned, "Now you have two option. You can either run away like the scared little boys you are or you can end up like that guy," she points to the one she knocked silly, "or those guys," she motions to the ones King of Suits put down, "Or those guys." Tenebrous targets four of the Crusaders standing all pretty in a row. Black beams fall on their heads like some entropic rain.

Lilian's time in Freedom City so far has been great. She's moved into the West End, to a small Brazilian neighborhood. The West End is so ethnically diverse, if you walked long enough you could find anyone who could speak your language. Still, Lilian was proud of her little nook. She was proud of her job also. Working at a bookstore was helping her learn things for school. That's another thing she was proud of, school. Everything was going according to plan. She would have her GED soon enough. Lilian had become somewhat of a minor celebrity in her neighborhood. It's very hard to hide her powers so she gets a lot of questions. She also gets a lot of requests. Her door is regularly lined with notes. Some want minor things done. "I roofed my frisbee, can you get it?". Some want damn near impossible things done. "Go beat up the bullies who make fun of me.". Though there was this one time where someone was waiting on her. An elderly woman by the name of Zita, who lived two appartments down from Lilian, wanted her to check on her grandbabies living in The Fens. Zita had heard there was gang type violence going on over there, but this time her grandchildren had actually been tipped off about an attack by some group named The Crusaders. Zita explained that The Crusaders were no ordinary gang they were a bunch of white people who hated anyone not white. Lilian too Zita's plea to heart and said she would investigate personally. That night around 10 o'clock, Lilian became Tenebrous. The costume was pretty generic, but it was her costume. She was proud of it. Off into the air towards The Fens she went. Though, an hour had past since she started searching and nothing had came up. She was wondering if this was the wrong night. Or worse, if she had missed the whole thing. Her reluctance was shattered when she heard a scream for help! Tenebroud flew into action! The was a good dozen of them there! Also there was another hero! Tenebrous followed up Crow's daring swoop with a dark blast at the mugger. "You pick the wrong night, crackheads," Tenebrous proclaimed triumphantly, "Now you face Tenebrous, Lady of Darkness." She looked to Crow and then back to the group, "Also that man."

It's supposed to be Any One, One At A Time. Fixed the notation and hopefully the wording

As of now I have 60 points in powers. No more, the line must be drawn HERE! But seriously, if the powers dont work i can change them out and/or stunt things. Sign me oh signy signer!

entropy control is basically terminus energy. the bad stuff that says "END THINGS", the stuff that messes with you in bad ways. You know what I mean? Also, added complication stuff.

Player Name: Maxine Walters Character Name: Tenebrous Power Level: 10 (150/154PP) Trade-Offs: -2 Attack / +2 Damage, -2 Defense / +2 Toughness Unspent Power Points: 4 Progress To Bronze Status: 1/30 In Brief: A repentant ex-villain seeks to begin life anew in a new country. Alternate Identity: Lilian Adela Vargas Silveira (birth name), Mau Memina (criminal nickname) Identity: Public Birthplace: Rio de Janeiro, Brazil Occupation: Bookstore Clerk Affiliations: The Freedom League Family: "You can never go home" Description: Age: 18 (DoB: October 25, 1993) Apparent Age: early twenties Gender: Female Ethnicity: Brazilian Height: 5'3" Weight: 115 lbs Eyes: black/silver Hair: light brown She is a well figured pear-shaped woman. Her skin is a light brown. Her face has rounded features. Ever since getting her powers she's had black eyeballs and silver eye color, they were originally brown. Her hair is long enough to reach her hips. She usually wears shorts and a tanktop when not in costume. Her costume is black spandex the covers her whole body and a domino mask. Power Descriptions: Lilian's powers are quite visible. When she uses her Entropy Control, it always manifests as her having a black outline that disperses when she expels an effect. Her black outline also appears when she flies leaving a black contrail when she moves. And finally, when she takes a hit when her forc field is up a black spot appears where the hit was. History: Lilian's mother was in Freedom City when the Terminus Invasion happened. She happened to be pregnant with Lilian then, so when she was accidentally doused with Terminus energy so was Lilian. No one was aware of it either. The side effects of Terminus energy were not known. So when her mother went back home, she didn't know she was carrying a Terminus baby. Lilian lived a normal life. She was a vibrant happy child who made lots of friends. On her fourteenth birthday she began to show signs of her "heritage" imediately. Her flight manifested first. She woke up that morning sleeping on the roof. She was scared at first, then confused about the whole black outline surrounding her. Confusion gave way to joy as sheflew around the house. Her mother was scared that her child was possessed by the devil and called a priest. Nothing came out of the consultation and no exorcism was needed. The priest remarked that he would want to see Lilian again. Lilian was too overjoyed to stick around anyway. She flew out the door and away to school. Her friends were impressed. The news was impressed when they called. Sudeenly Lilian was a getting her fifteen minutes of fame. Unfortunately she had some bad influences in that. People told her she could get whatever she wanted, and she listened to the sweet words of temptation. It was when she got mixed up with the wrong crowd of people that her full power set emerged she began to take hits that no one could survive and on top of that channel the blows out into large black beams of... she didn't know what it was, but she knew it was fun. Lilian took advantage of her powers more and more. Getting even more destructive as she went on. She dropped out of school after her eighth grade year. She left home to start living with friends who would supply her with what she wanted. Sex, drugs, rock and roll, cats and dogs living in sin. And there was no one to stop her. It all flew under the radar. No one was going to tell the dark lady she couldn't do anything. It was on her sixteenth birthday when she was contacted by someone who could use her services and "make her rich". She was half strung out at the time so she agreed. It was a jewelry heist. Lilian was vying for a share of diamonds. She and the others were set up though.after a shootout with the cops and some of her heist mates, she was the only one left standing. After coming to a horrified realization about where her life was heading she broke down and turned herself in. She saw the destructive path she was on and didn't want to go down it anymore. She was sent to prison for four years, but got out in two for good behavior. She went into seclusion after that. She didn't want to be with anyone anymore, she thought she would hurt them! Then she saw it, the perfect answer. An ad on late night television for tourism in the United States. Particularly Freedom City. She thought she could repay her debt to society by being it's protector. She left in the middle of the night telling no one and arrived in Freedom City the next morning. The Freedom League detected her coming and met her at "the door" so to speak. She gave them a heartfelt speech about wanting to start over enough so that they accepted her into the city and helped her get a visa. Personality & Motivation: Lilian is a fun-loving type of person. She'll never pass up a chance to have a good time. She's mindful of others though, making sure she isn't hurting anyone and that they're having a good time also. Her time as a criminal back home weighs heavy on her heart. It was never her intention to hurt anyone. When she saw those men die it created a stain on her soul that she figured she could never wash off. Their blood on her hands. It's something she hides very very well. Lilian's motivation is a sort of unattainable redemption. At least she thinks she can't. She's doing good to make up for the lives lost. And while they can never be brought back, she can still keep doing good. That's her goal. Powers & Tactics: Lilian does best at range. she can fly around shooting thing with entropy beams. There's not much finesse to it. Complications: Bad Memories: The thought of her past lingers in her mind. It's not something she wants to remember, seeing as she's trying to start over. Eighth Grade Education: She never finished school due to her slothy power trip. Former Criminal: From the age of 14 she was wrecking hell over her hometown, by 16 she was in prison. Immigrant: Not a citizen of the united states. Staying here on a work visa, courtesy of the Freedom League.

Uriel flew into the church with gusto. She crashed though the front door. and the parishoners scattered left and right, some running, for the door others hiding under pew or against the walls. One man stood in defiance, Father Vincent May. Also the robed hooded figures hadn't moved yet. He commanded them to rise with a hand gesture. Uriel knew she was outnumbered. "Angel of the Lord," Mays said, "you seem to have lost your way. May we convince you to join our convention?" Uriel snarled something that sounded like a no. She knew this would be suicide. She had to get some help. The Magdalene Torch spoke to her. "There is someone nearby who can help. His name is Gabriel. He is a Holy Warrior like you." With a smile, Father Mays seemed to be listening in on the conversation, "Run, go get all the help you want. I'll be waiting." In a trail of celetial power Uriel took off to the Southside as the Magdalene Torch told her to do so.

Later that night Dr Hendricks was just Melissa. They had all came to hear about how the demon lord Forcus could empower them. The turnout was quite healthy, it seemed that they had recruited for this meeting from more than just the college. there was a good thirty to thirty-five people there of all ages, from college age all the way to elders. The scene looked pretty eloquent too. It was in a basement, but saying it was a basement was an understatement, it was more like a temple under a house. There were peto the left and the right, parted by a black softcarpet runway. The runway went from the double door entrance all the way back to thestage. While the stage did have a podium (which had an inscription in Hebrew of the seven sins), there was no choir behind it. Seven robed and hooded indiviuals were sitting on their knees, facing the crowd. When Melissa scanned them, they did in fact have demonic taint all in their souls. Now she was intrigued. Thirty minutes later, everyone was seated and waiting for the man of the hour. "Father" Vincent Mays. The self proclaimed founder of the feast and direct line to Forcus's amazing power. Vincent did not disappoint either. The man's infernal reading is off the chart! It's like he's a walking shard of infernalness! Vincent was a very charismatic speaker. Melissa took mental notes of everything said. Histories of Forcus's power. How the sick were made whole, how the old young, how the lonely would never be alone. All they had to do was put their loyalty to Forcus. He would show someone just a taste of Focus's power. He pointed to an elderly couple. and called them up. Ruth said that she had been hurting for years and just wished to go back to a time when there was no hurting. Vincent questioned her faith in Forcus. She said she wanted to believe. Vincent assured her that was good enough. He touched her forehead and a seal appeared on it. Then she began to regress in age. She lost sixty years right before the eyes of the audience. Everyone was in shock and awe, ESPECIALLY Melissa. This was not good at all. While everyone was lining up to sign up for this new religion, Melissa slipped out unnoticed. "Did you see that," she whispered. "Indeed," the voice of the Magdalene Torch spoke to her mentally, "you have to dispatch this blasphemy of false hope." Melissa's body began to burn away everything that was on it. What was incinerated in the celestial power was replaced by a holy golden armor and great flaming wings! Melissa she was no more, Uriel was on the clock!

Dr Melissa Hendricks teaches History at Freedom City University. How did she get there? Well, she was just a mild mannered archeologist, minding her own business one say when she found an artifact while digging. Taking hold of the artifact gave her holy powers. Only the people who were on that digsite know that Dr Hendricks has the power to turn into Uriel, bearer of the flame of the Magdalene Torch! And they have promised to keep quiet about it. She quietly retired from her beloved profession to teach history and defend the innocents. The scene shows Melissa talking to the class she's teaching. They're the subject of the ancient middle east, her particular field of study and something she has very close to her heart. Quesions left and right of which she was proud to answer, but there is always one clockwatcher. He points out that it's time to leave and the students being not really interestd in stayin, leave post haste The scene then turns to some students talking about a meeting they plan to attend. One of them mentions meeting a real live demon who will grant them powers. No one believes him, but he offers them an ultimatum. Come to the meeting and if nothing happens, he buys the booze for the next party. All of it. Melissa happens to overhear this conversation and approaches the group. The student smiles and hands her a flier. She can tell he's nervous. She assures him this is not a school activity so she can't grade him on it. The group laughs. Secretly she checks all the students in this little group and non of them have infernal taint on them. Good to know. Maybe this is a hoax, demons are big interest things. Getting powers would attract anyone. But Melissa is not in it for the power, she's going to see what's going on there.

They are mental things. Updated the character sheet.

Player Name: Maxine Walters Character Name: Uriel Power Level: 10 (150/151PP) Trade-Offs: None Unspent Power Points: 1 Progress To Bronze Status: 1/30 In Brief: An archeologist finds something that will change her life forever. Alternate Identity: Dr Melissa Hendricks Identity: Secret Birthplace: Santa Barbara, California Occupation: Archeologist, Professor Affiliations: Freedom City Education System Family: Edwin Hendricks (father, 50), Michelle Hendricks (mother, 46) Description: Age: 28 (DoB: October 1985) Apparent Age: early/mid-twenties Gender: Female Ethnicity: Half German-American, Half Mexican-American Height: 5'5" Weight: 125 pounds Eyes: yellow (Uriel) blue (Melissa) Hair: white (Uriel) blonde (Melissa) Power Descriptions: After absorbing the light of the Magdalene's Torch and it finding Melissa worthy, she has the ability to call upon it's power when it is needed. Anything she is wearing burns away and is replaced by a golden bands that cover her whole body, but somehow miraculously allow freedom of movement. The armor is hot to the touch, yet can burn even those unable to be burned. Large wings made of celestial fire jut from the armor's back, allowing her to fly. The celetial armor also gives her great strength. Even when out of the armor, she has powers. The power of the Magdalene Torch allows her to sense any celestial or infernal being. She will not age or hunger or thirst or need for sleep or even air. She can subsist in any environment. Poisons and diseases will not harm her. History: Melissa was a small child, sort of scrawny. She kept to her books. She loved history. Whatever history book she could put her hands on she pored through. It was her passion. This continued into her later years when she went into college. She knew her destiny was to see the places in those books up close and personal. To study the ruins and artifacts of ancient civilizations. What really attracted her were holy land places and things. She wanted to see the real story behind the words. One of Melissa's first digs was quite possibly her last. She has been in a site around Gethsemane for a while when she found something glowing underneath the soil. Not letting her fellows know - she wanted it to be her find - she kept scavaging until she found what looked like a still lit torch. She had neither seen nor heard of such an object. The torchwood was warm to the touch. Somehow, against her better judgement, she picked up the object. The wood was weighty, but when she tried to put it down is when it spoke to her. "Melissa Hendricks," it said to her. "You are about to be judged by the Magdalene Torch." She was shocked, and to be quite honest, honored. That's when Melissa went up in flames. Her whole body was subsumed by the fire. It Seemed to be reeling through her very soul! When it was done, the torch was gone and so was her clothes! I was replaced by a golden and type suit and fiery wings. She almost expected a halo to appear. The torch spoke to her. "You have been found worth to carry the torch of the Magdalene. You shall defend the people from the evils of Hell." Automatically knowing what to do, the torch disappeared and Melissa looked around. There were no infernals or celestials here. There WERE very shocked coworkers taking pictures of the whole event. She smiled and nodded. Clearing her throat she told the head of the crew that she would need some time off. He understood. The nest thing she heard from the torch was to find the center of activity. The first place she though was Freedom City. She boarded the first plane she could. After getting some things sorted out with Freedom University to teach history and the Freedom Lague to do heroics, she was set and ready to take on the forces of darkness. She even took a secret identity to protect herself. Uriel was her new name. The light of God, smiting down evil where ever it was. Personality & Motivation: In a way, Melissa and Uriel are two different people. Melissa is a scholar and teacher. She's obsessed with all sorts of learning and helping people learn. Be it history or small inconsequential facts of trivia. In her hero form she is much more focused on her true calling, the smiting of evil beings. She puts herself in the way of danger to protect innocents and will not stop until the problem is gone. When she's not fighting evil or preparing for a battle, Uriel is a very calm person. She is much less chatty than Melissa. She will speak when spoken to and only in truths. Her motivations is built in. She has to fight evil It's her job to do so. That doesn't bother Melissa at all. Sure Melissa would rather be learning and teaching, but her Uriel side gives her much more meaning in life. And that's what she's searching for at the moment. The Meaning. The Meaning of Everything. And besides being a protector, she thinks, nay, KNOWS she will find something. Powers & Tactics: As the old saying goes "When all you have is a a hammer". Uriel doesn't have a hammer, but she can punch demons and other bad guys with celestial power. And that's what she does. She's not quiet about her job, rushing headlong into battle and making sre everything evil thing is down.
