*coughFreedomForcecough*
btw was that game any good? lol
Name: Craig
Alias: DevilHunter
Age: 21
Gender: Male
Powers: High-jump, "bullet-time" sort of thing, Devil Trigger (explained in Background), Super strength, and can tell if someone is lying
Background: Craig was born with supernatural demon powers, but he never knew it until he was much older, and at that time he swore to use them to protect the people of his city. Although unable to fly, he has a Devil Trigger ability that lets out his "inner demon," causing him a boost in all his abilities and transform to a superhuman state, although still vulnerable, he is a force to be reckoned with by evildoers. He is able to see through someone's lies, which has gotten him into all sorts of fights when he was younger.
Alignment: Good
Name: Auryn (from my background)
Alias: Sharp Shooter
Age: 19
Alliance: Good
Gender: Male
Abilities: Super Speed, charge shot (Left arm is attached at the elbow with a special gun that can transfer between a regular left arm and hand to a heavy sniper rifle), telekenesis, and mind reading.
Background: At 19 years of age, Auryn had gotten into an accident with a chainsaw and had cut off his left elbow, broke his rib cage, and even lost his ability to walk. After this affected him, doctors had to find a way to keep him alive, since no known blood types were available. They saved what little blood he had and replaced his rib cage, left arm, and legs with experimental synthetic parts that operated perfectly with the use of his mind and mental abilities.
The new legs enabled him to walk and run with near God-like speed. The left arm could shift between a heavy sniper rifle and a normal, human-like left arm. The sniper rifle model was a Tenloss Disruptor-like gun that could be set to any 3 modes: stun, injure, or kill. The rib cage made him invulnerable to back and chest damage.
When he was 9, he learned he had ESP from his older brother, Yun, a very powerful psychic who taught him to sense the presence of ghosts and/or other people, and how to move all things with his mind.
His only weakness is his mental abilities. If blocked off from living material, or anything human or inhuman, he cannot properly tell the location of an innocent person or villain (like Magneto).
Demon hunter grips his head. This was the third time this week. His Demon side had almost taken control of him. It had never happened before and he had never had such violent tendancies. Something outside of him was affecting his demon side. He has to find out what. It had all started Tuesday, he had just stopped a group of men from planting a bomb in the mall. During the fight he had gone into some sort of berserker rage, barely keeping himself from murdering the men. He had to find out a way to combat these bloodlusts.
Elsewhere, a bus drives into town. In it is Sharpshooter. He stares forward with a scowl. His senses are clouded with rage. Just a week ago, his best friend had been murdered. Dan Rommel had been by his side ever since the accident, they were like brothers. Dan was a computer whiz, and he had apperantly hacked into some goverment data. He was killed by goverment agents. Auryn had watched them do it, and in his rage had killed them. Now he is on the run. Before he had left he had taken a look at some of his Dans goverment downloads. They were not complete but they said something about geneticly altered fighters. The research was being done in this town.
I was on the government's #1 list of people with extraordinary abilities. At least that's what Dan had told me after I came out of my operation and before......"they" killed him. Dan knew about my mental powers and wanted to help me control them so that I did not wield them as a weapon. I was at a loss when "they" killed him, and I couldn't bear the pain. Seething anger boiled within my entire being. It had manifested into a violent psychic killing spree. I was on the run after that incident, put on the list of the FBI's "Most Wanted."
In this town, I concealed my identity so that no one were to notice. I didn't want to hurt anyone else like I did before. Yet, I felt something happening elsewhere. Something violent. Something unjust......
Name: Kim Tyler
Alais: Shadowfox
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Powers: Kim is able to sneak into nearly any guarded area. She can almost disappear, but there is a light outline where she is. It is so light, it is impossible to see in the dark.
Background: Kim never knew her parents, but whoever they were, they left her with her ability. She decided by the age of 14 to use her ability to crush the bad guys in the world, but was and still is unsure of how to start.
Good
Sharpshooter had been spying on the goverment test facility for 2 weeks now. The united states goverment had plenty of great stuff going for it, but this was definatily a bad side. He had seen numerous odd things. Animal testing, weird vehicles, ect. He had not been able to get close enough to see anything really important. But he was planning on making his move tonight.
I might not be here for a while so i am going to open this up for co-writing
Name: Tom West
Age: 15
Powers: He has the ability to change his age, making him seem younger or older than he really is. He also has increased intelligence, allowing him to make up plans on the run. He also has a little ESP.
Bio: As a young kid, he watched his parents die, he was told a group of people consisting of Sharpshooter, Shadowfox, and Devilhunter did it. He has helped criminals since, and is trying to kill them.
Bad
Name: Jimyim Guguro
Age: 47
Alias: BAD
Powers: Mirage-The ability to disguise himself as anything, and to make illusions (wall of flame, 100 soldiers, ect...), he also can change his shape and become something (snail, bird, ant) but he is always distinguished because he has orange and black stripes on him when he is an animal.
Bio: A criminal from Japan, he came to America to establish a huge Mafia with his powers from a 700 year old inventor(!). He has many gansters under his wing, including Tom West.
Jimyim stands on the balcony of his Deluxes suite in the Golden Bangel Hotel. He is thirty miles away from the goverment research center in which his minions are currently infiltrating. His plans are to steal genetic alteration info so that he can geneticaly create his own army of super humans. Right now three of his best men are on it. Tom West, Goliath (small man with super strenght and regeneration), and Rat (can control sound).
At the facility Tom spies one of his hated foes, Sharpshooter, he is about to attack when his target sneaks into an enclosed garage. "You'll have another chance!" Snarles Rat, "Now lets get in there."
Jimyim, become aware that Sharpshooter was spying on his facilities, and imediatly warned his minions. "Empty the garage! Charge the Whale Cheese Vomit (WCV) gun!"
(Can we have silly weapons like all evil geniouses have, or is this a very serious RPG):)
Demon Hunter knew everything regarding the Government Test Facility, but he considered himself too dangerous for his own recon, and not to mention he did not want to put his colleagues, Sharpshooter and Shadowfox, in the danger of his prescence. Of course, if they came and dragged him out of his home to help them, he would of course come. He thought about Tom West, how he receieved word he was accused of his parents' death. He was also very sympathetic to Sharpshooter after his loss of his friend. Maybe these had caused his weakened mental state, and had caused his demonic form to attempt a takeover?
"Whatever..." he muttered as he went outside. He had been locked in his own house for several days, trying to get control of himself, and he thought some fresh air and decent food (being cooking is not his strong point) would do him some good.
Shadowfox had also been observing the facility, but had no idea that the others were as well. She had gotten the idea that it was not what it seemed, but she was still unsure. Because of this, she had decided not to tell Devil Hunter and Sharpshooter about anything until she was sure.
Sharpshooter was safely at the end of the garage. He turned to picking the lock on a janitorial entrace. Then he heard a scuff behind him, he swings around. There are two odd looking soldiers. They have slick blue-chrome armor and complete head masks. They were not carrying wearpons.
"Whata we got 'ere," sneers one with a cheesy british accent,"a bloomin' tresspasser?"
"We need to bring him in for questioning," says the other in a calm female voice.
"I don't think so," says sharpshooter. He was trying to interrogate their minds but they had some sort of block.
"We don't 'ave time for this kid," with that the man blasts sharpshooter with a burst of energy from his hand. This would have temporarily paralyzed a normal human. But it hit sharpshooters chest senting him flying acrossed the garage. He stood up with his gun out and set it to kill. With a blast the man fell down, his chest steaming. But then got up again! His armor was merely burned. "Bloomin' bad move kiddo!"
Outside devilhunter hears the sounds of a battle.
Devil Hunter knew the sounds of battle when he heard it. He took off running to the source with great speed and got there just in time. He withdrew two handguns that he made himself over his 3 days of self imprisonment. He pulled the trigger and they let loose countless amounts of bullets like a machine gun, hitting the guards. After the dreadful click of an empty clip, he holstered the guns and pulled out a great sword that only someone with his kind of ability could wield. Lightning sparked on the blade as he swung it with incredible speed, and slashed both the guards in one slice.
The gaurds get up once again, their armor battered but not broken. "Ow many of you littl' punks are there?" yells the man as he charges Devilhunter. He uses his wrists to block the powerful sword, "I don't think we've ever properly introduced," he says as he confidently blocks Devilhunters swings, "I would be Phantom alpha and me girl over there would be Phantom Beta, geneticly enhanced power'ouses if you know what I mean?" With that he slugs Devilhunter in the face, sending him hurdling acrossed the room. It had just occured to both our heroes, these weren't just really buff gaurds.
Devil Hunter caught himself with one hand and flipped over. "Nice to meet you. I'm Devil Hunter, I'd tell you not to forget it, but you won't live much longer to remember." He pulled his sword back into ready position. "Sharpshooter, I'd either take cover or stay out of the way..." He concentrated and a glow emitted around his body. His external appearance didn't change, but he had gone into his Devil Trigger state. Lightning ran along his body, and he returned the sword to his back and lept into the air and wings sprouted. He held out both his hands toward Phantom Beta and Alpha, and huge electronic volts of lightning shot out and made contact with the two guards. Inside DevilHunter's mind, he was fighting very hard against himself from letting his demonic powers take full control over him. After he got it under control, he landed and the wings vanished. He drew out the sword again and attacked with lightning speed, the sword severing whatever they use to block the blade.
"Left arm.......set charge shot to tranquilizer."
With that said, SharpShooter's left arm transforms into its gunning form and lets loose 6 miniature tranquilizer darts. 3 of 'em became jammed in Phantom Beta, but amazingly, she remains unaffected.
She smirks,"Well, well, well, Alpha, looks like this bloke is also a genetically enhanced super-"
SharpShooter runs at her at full speed, sending her flying into a far away wall.
"Superior speed, superior psy strength, along with strategical military thinking. All in all, a deadly combination if you ask me....." he quoted.
((OOC: sorry to bump the thread but Topshot your PM thing is full. I was wondering if you are up for some training?))
Shadowfox suddenly took notice of the battle going on and rushed to help. She faded until there was just a vague shadow where she stood, fastened her grappling hook securely and swung down. Nobody had noticed her. She aimed a kick at Phantom Alpha, but it did no damage, simply causing him to stumble.
"Ouch," Shadowfox mumbled, rubbing her ankle. She had been hurt the most.
((Going away for a couple of weeks. Please don't kill Shadowfox, but please keep her in the story.))
Just then an alarm goes off. "Well, well, I do believe somebutays* tripped the alarm," Phantom alpha smiles. Shadowfox looks down to see a small laser going through her foot. Soon the place is swarming with Marines.
*it's his accent, not a spelling error
Craig had his dual handguns ready. His devil trigger form had worn off at the moment, but he could click in again whenever he wanted, and would take on all the marines if he had to in order to save his friends.. "Besides," he thought, "It'd fix the problem of me getting taken over by my demon self.."
Tom West was standing behind the Marines. THis would make a good show, he wondered how the so called "heroes" would get out of this.
He could see Tom West through the Marines. He glanced around at the Marines, his guns ready.
West saw Craig through the Marines, he turned to the commander next to him and told him to order the marines to open fire.
The commander West ordered to open fire had instead drawn his gun and aimed at West himself. When West looked into the commander's eyes, he saw that they were ghost white.
"Why do you insist on firing on us when I could kill you right here and now?" Sharp Shooter spoke out with the use of the commander's body, much like a spiritual possession.
Shane was startled by the new development, he realized that it was sharp shooter controlling him. He looked at the Commander/Sharp Shooter in the eye and spoke
Shane: You killed my parents, now I must kill you.
He eyed the crowd, trying to find sharpshooter.
Shane/Sharpshooter:"I killed your parents? Who told you such things? One of your guys killed my best friend!"
Secretly hiding in another room, Sharp Shooter hides himself with a stealth cloaking device stolen from Phantom Alpha. He moves quickly and quietly with the grace of an eagle behind West, preparing himself for a just-in-case situation.
Shane/Sharpshooter:"Look behind you."
West begins to turn, while Sharp Shooter attempts to knock him out with his best punch.
West slowly turns around, and quickly rolls out of the way. He takes out a sniper rifle from a duffel bag he dropped, and quickly shoots the commander's body at close range and killign the commander.
West: They shot the commander! Kill them.
The marines, angry at the assasination of their commander open fire.
Name: Masonic Warror 52
Alais: "Cards"
Age: 1 year
Gender: Robot
Powers: Jet pack, mind destabilizer (emited from my eyes I can make a human being go insane"
Background: Mass produced, these robot warriors were the soldiers of the evil Jack O'Heagan. After Jack was destroyed by those damn pesky Team Justice Freedom Core (also known as TJFC) all the units were hunted down and destroyed....except one.
Allignment: Neutral, just looking for a place to chill, and a group to call my own (also, please feed me oil!)
Devil Hunter spun through the air, dodging the bullets barely. He moved back to cover Shadowfox and switched to his gauntlets. He drew out his pistols and opened fire at the Marines, killing quite a few. He ignited into his devil trigger once again, instead of the lightning, there was a fire aura around him and flames coming from the gauntlets. Devil Hunter punched a Guard, sending him back into another. He spin-kicked another, making him smash into the wall and fall unconcious. Suddenly there was the sound of a Marine's bullet soaring through the air, and the sound of it piercing a body...
Devil Hunter's devil trigger wore off immediately. A small hole in the left side of my waist was bleeding. He looked at the guards around him, who were no longer shooting, suprised looks on their face from the sudden end of the uncontrolled rage.
He looked around at the Marines, Tom West, Sharpshooter, and Shadowfox.
"I'm sorry.." he said to Sharpshooter and Shadowfox, then he turned to Tom West.
"I...I don't know who told you that we killed your parents. I don't recall...killing any civilians.."
Devil Hunter's body slumps against the nearest wall for slight support.
He turned to Sharpshooter and Shadowfox. "Don't worry about me.. find out who's really behind this...find the truth of this conspiracy..."
He slumped all the way to the ground, leaving a blood smear on the brick. His eyes rolled into the back of his head.
Was he dead?
For those who REALLY want to know, he's really not dead yet, he'll come back into the story later.
West quickly snapped a picture of Devil Hunter dead with a camera hidden in his suit, turned and ran, getting into a car a few blocks away. He wasn't sure who had killed Devil Hunter, but he knew he had to collect the bounty before the others caught up to him. He pulled out a list of names from his suit and crossed out Devil Hunter/Craig. He didn't belive what he had said
(I forgot to say that a Marine did it. Edited now :-P)
(Don't let this story die its awesome!!)
Shadowfox stared in disbelief. She had looked up to Devil Hunter as her leader and now he was gone. She stood there staring at him until she felt Sharpshooter pulling her away. Then her mind engaged and she followed him back to where they had been staying. When they got there, she collapsed into a heap on the floor. Things had not gone right.
Shooter looks towards the midnight sky at his apartment. Memories of the past were re-writing themselves back into the present. The same thing happened to Dan. A shot to the head. Roses at a grave. It was almost as if he were there again.
Shane was back at his hotel room. He was getting ready to go to sleep when the phone rang. He answered.
???: You did well. Taking out the rest, however will now be more difficult.
West: You got a job for me, right?
???: How did you know?
West: You wouldn't have called me otherwise.
???: There are some files in a certain building containing sensetive information I'd rather not have... fall into the right hands.
West: Goverment building?
???: No, Criminal. You can use the goverment as cover again this time.
West: Good. What's the deadline
???: two days, tomorrow and the day after.
West: One day to scout, one day to operate?
???: Exactly.
West: Will i have any help?
???: No. That is all
The line went dead, and West set the alarm for 5:00 in the mornign. He quickly went to sleep.
A cold wind breezed through the open window, making both Sharpshooter and Shadowfox cold. As Shooter went over to close the window, there was a knock at the door, and a voice calling, "Delivery for a..Auryn?"
The package was slipped through the small mail flap at the bottom of the door.
As soon as Shooter went to open it instead of closing the window, however, the wind stopped. The package was small and thin. When Shooter opened it, inside was an amulet that looked similar to the one that Devil Hunter used to wear with some small slots in it, along with several little gems representing different elements or skills to fit into the small slots, such as adding Fire element to desired weapon, ability to freeze time, etc. Along with it was a note in familiar handwriting
"Hold onto this for me."
At five o'clock the alarm sounded, waking West up, he looked outside and saw that it was still dark. Perfect. He got into his car, making himself seem as a 25 year old man again, then he drove to the target building and began scouting it with his binoculars. 2 scouts outside the building, both with AK-74s, he could see into one window and saw that there were some cameras and some more gaurds. The gaurds outside had flashlights attached to their rifles. He didn't see snipers, so that meant if he managed to get one he had a possible advantage. The way he saw it there were at least 20 men in the building. Maybe more. He would have to get some help. He knew he didn't have a chance alone. He also knew he would have to fight against the so called "super heroes".
When he killed all of them he would have collected enough money to retire. He smiled at that thought, being able to retire at 15. He got back into his car and called some of his friends.
Shadowfox didn't sleep that night. She just couldn't because her mind was racing, reviewing Devil Hunter's death. She jumped up off the floor and ran around the room, trying to get her mind off of it. When she couldn't, she went out for a walk outside.
West suddenly saw one of the group, he recognized that it was Shadowfox. He muttered something about coincidences and quickly turned to a 14 year old, much younger than they had seen him with the marines.
Shadowfox continued walking, taking little notice of the 14 year old boy who seemed to be going the opposite direction. Suddenly, she felt rage building up inside and began running. Her speed built up until she was going faster than the cars on the road. Suddenly realizing what was happening, she tried to stop, but was not able to. A building loomed up ahead. She winced and jumped. Her jump took her to the top of the building, where she was finally able to stop.
Not fully believing what just happened, she began to look around her and her eyes widened. She had only been away from the apartment for 15 minutes, but had gone 50 miles. She shook her head and took a cab back to the apartment where she was finally able to fall asleep.
*West saw how Shadowfox ran and was suprised, he'd never seen anyone, not anyone, and he'd seen a lot of wierd things. Well that was besides the point, his friends had agreed and they were meeting him in a few minutes.
Shooter had left his apartment to buy a couple items from the shops. He decided it was time to regain his former self and left for the spice & herb shop just down the corner. Images of his past life raced through his mind, images of when he was half-demon himself. He was a yoko back then, a spirit fox crafted in a somewhat human-like form. Instead of normal human ears, his ears were like that of a wolf. The rest of his body remained the same except for a small tail. His speed was far greater than his present state, and he was also a master of manipulating plants into deadly weapons.
This was all he needed if he were ever to face West's Phantoms again.
Along the way back, he stopped at the local library where he left one of his spell books at in his past life. The book was ages old and yet it looked like new. Quickly, he checked it out and made a mad dash for the apartment because he felt something may have happened.
Shadowfox met Sharpshooter outside the apartment with a wild look on her face. It had finally gotten through to her what had actually happened. She spilled the whole story out to him, but then stiffened. Her skin began to turn grey. She slowly turned around, but instantly whirled back to Sharpshooter when he placed his hand on her shoulder. Before he could do anything, he heard a noise like metal on metal and a small object left Shadowfox's extended index finger. It struck the door behind Sharpshooter and it was then that he realized he had almost been skewered with what looked like the blade of a knife.
"I didn't know I could do that," she said, her voice getting shaky and her skin returning to normal. Then she shook her head roughly.
"Get a grip, Kim," she muttered to herself.
A footstep was heard in the hallway where Sharpshooter and Shadow Fox were. They both looked down the hall and saw a figure on the other end, shrowded in the shadows. It was too dark in the hall way to make him out entirely. He slowly walked forward toward them, the light shone on his body revealing someone they would have much liked to see had they not see him die before their eyes.
"Hullo." Spoke Devil Hunter in a casual voice. "You two ready? We got a party to crash."
Shadowfox recoiled instantly. Who was this idiot that was attempting to earn their trust by acting as somebody she had clearly seen die.
"Back off," she growled, her skin once again looking slightly metallic. "We saw Devil Hunter die. I suggest you leave before I try something on you that, before today, I didn't know I could do."
She launched a shard of metal that embedded itself in the ceiling above Devil Hunter. It then came loose and fell, hitting him on the head, but not doing any damage.
"Warning number 1," she said.
"Nice new trick, Shadowfox...but does this prove anything?"
Devil Hunter moved a part of his clothing, revealing the bullet wound.
"I wouldn't lie to my best friends.. and you could have hit me all you wanted with that knife...you should already know that it wouldn've hurt me at all, it's one of my traits that you both have seen many a time."
He stepped forward, despite their mistrust.
"So, do you believe me and lets get down to business, or shall I have to resort to other measures to prove myself?"
