The Year is 2014, June, 13th, a Friday.

In this timeline of Earth, on December 21st, 2012, the sky's color changed. Beyond the explanation of science, and much to humanity's alarm, the blue sky became a shifting array of hues, much akin to the Aurora Borealis.

The people panicked, rioted, lost hope for the day of their destruction, had come... However, aside from what humanity performed upon itself that day... No one noticed an inherent change.. Save for a few people that had reached their breaking point that day.

These people awoke to powers that could deny the very fabric of reality itself.. Many of them kept it secret, as under wraps as possible. Those that exposed themselves were taken away by their governments to keep the populus unaware of this phenomenon.

These people came to be known colloquially as "Overhuman."

The events to follow were only halted by this government intervention. Overhumans continue to appear... And there are those that have banned themselves together and formed highly dangerous terrorist cells.

You have been cast into this fray... But who are you?

Student
An unfortunate College student that feels that with what they know of the world, see little hope in the future, despite receiving high marks and education. Not especially close to his/her parents, they find family among a close-nit group of peers. Since the change in the sky on December 21st, 2012, they dream that one day something amazing will happen to them. Their dreams prove correct as the student is caught in the middle of magiterrorist attack.

Bonus to creativity.
Bonus to General knowledge

The Student is an average, yet dream oriented person. They will commit themselves well to training and dissecting their power as an Overhuman.

Gypsy

Traveling far and wide across the Americas, as well as a few european countries with his/her father, the gypsy understands many languages and has knowledge of communicating across many different cultures. They have a shady background in some of the things that they've traded in the past and are no stranger to things that are borderline illegal. Life is hard, but worth it. Due to a misalignment with the
stars, the gypsy and his/her family finds themselves in the middle of a catastrophe.

Bonus to creativity
Bonus to Willpower
Bonus to Unconventional Knowledge

Due to Gypsy upbringing, the gypsy knows how to carry out actions that aren't exactly lawful(Carjacking, slight of hand, Bluffing.) The Gypsy knows the benefits of friendship, as well as how to survive well on their own.

>Ammendment
Trained from a young age in the art of killing, the Assassin has few qualms in taking the kife of another human being. That's not to say that they may not differentiate between good people and bad people.

They are likely to experiment to an extent with Overhuman abilities, however the Assassin's long life of training with their "tools of the trade" may be a hard habit to break.

Enlisted Soldier
In the Rank-n-File of the U.S. Military, the soldier suffered loss that left no other alternative but to serve.

>ammendment

Due to Rigorous training and programmed discipline, the Soldier is fit and sound of mind. They have training in Hand-to-hand, rifle, and sidearm. They may incorporate Overhuman Power more easily than the Assassin, however they may stand more harassment should they awaken.

-The time is after December 21st 2012, on that day the day and night sky show nothing but an
aurora -type shift of colors.
-After this time, certain people that have hit breaking points in stress and/or life vs death situations have awakened to abilities that are pretty much magical.
-Magical abilities usually awaken as one core ability but through gaining an understanding of it, can evolve it into others. Such as a combustion evoker learning how to generate sustained heat,
or even deprive something of it. Or a body reinforcing invoker finding that they can do more than making their skin like iron, they can do the same for their muscle fibers. That sort of thing.

-The Overhuman types are divided into Evoker, Invoker, and Animist.
>>
-Evokers- Manipulate the immaterial world to cause effects on the material. They send thoughts out into the Immaterial and these changes are reflected upon the Material.
Examples of evokers are:
Electron Manipulation
Rapid Construction
Combustion
Metal manipulation
Spatial manipulation
Suggestion
Tulpa
Phenomenon Creation
Illusions
Water Manipulation

Evoker's powers are divided into three basic principles:

Conceptualization: This is the core fundamental for using the power of Evocation, without it, the Overhuman has little in way of intricate detail in the control of their power. With a trained mind, they can give full life to an abstract idea, recreate a complex machine with full detail, and increase the effective range of their abilities, along with allowing for far more complex commands, and applying the concept of some affects to reality... much like Invokers. (Such alterations to their own body rarely ever work out, due to the difference in constitutions)
>>
>>24738295
sounds good to me

>>24738418
whatever happened to the other quest did Omar die?
>>
Enforcement: While Conceptualization is the core for their ideas, and complexity of thoughts, Enforcement is their ability to increase the force, impact, and overall size of such an idea. With the universe's attempt to correct itself, enforcement makes this all the easier as it aids them in denial of reality. This skillset is used to: strengthen the core of a “spell,” increase the function of programmed “Commands” within the workings of their “magic.”

Manipulation: Evokers are often regarded as having abilities similar to telekinesis, pyrokinesis, and even telepathy. Not necessarily the case, however with the skill of manipulation, they are shown to will various types of matter from the ground, to throw them, make them ignite, construct walls, and so forth. Advanced manipulation ability allows for more intricate manipulation, from massive to atomic in size. This will allow for abilities such as curving the path of bullets, condensing an electron charge, Constructing Walls with speed, and even slowing particles to a freeze.


Drawbacks to evoking: Evokers use their mind to use their magic. As they use their magic to great or sustained effect, it taxes their brain until they begin to hemorrhage and Overheat. In worse cases it can cause their brain to break down, Fry, or induce coma.
They are also not immune to the effects of their own powers. Careless manipulation of dangerous subjects such as space, flame, electricity, Tulpas, etc. Can lead to severe personal harm.
Evokers , while possessing the greatest tactical and offensive ability, retain the weakest defenses, possessing nor more regenerative ability or personal defense than the average human. They must use their power to compensate.

Yeah, Omar got his head cut off by Violet.

I'll post his Epilogue at the end of the thread tomorrow.

-Invokers- Draw the power of the immaterial world into their own bodies to change it, reinforce themselves, make them capable of amazing physical feats. Invokers can be more than brute strength however. Those that delve into their powers find that they can enhance and modify senses, increase their ability to process information, and much more. While evokers are most like mages, invokers are superhuman.
Examples:
Evolution
Superb strength
Shapeshifting
Reinforcement
Personal Bio-electrical manipulation

Their powers center around three basic principles:
Reinforcement: The pure absorption of the flow to increase the strength and defense of the self. Often the most core ability for any succesful Invoker. Wouldn't want to be dropped by a stray bullet, right?

Quickening: Another fundamental skill that falls under increased or slowed speed/metabolism. It's a rather costly use of their power, however those adept at quickening have movements that generate blur and even afterimage due to sheer speed. Quickening is also a core fundamental to self regeneration.

>>24738473
I'll likely return to Alue, I've got ideas for it... and yes, I'll only stick to one race for advancement of purpose.

I let that shit get way too everywhere... But it did plant the seeds I needed to get a grip on how I want that world to be.

>>24738494

>>
>>24738505
I think if you start a new race and stick with, and maybe visit the other races we had, it would run pretty well
>>
>>24738494

She was actually Omar's most immediate BBEG.

She only killed Omar because the players were indecisive when it came to cooperation and ended up slapping her.

Queue, her killing him.

>>24738529
Definitely.
>>
>>24738505

-Shift: While Reinforcement is Power, Quickening being speed, Shifting is utility.
By drawing in the power of an idea or concept, they can alter the effect of the world upon their own bodies, allowing them to step with no more weight than a butterfly with “Float like a butterfly.”
Shifts are divided into two types:
-Concept Shift: Following the example of “Float Like a Butterfly,” it alters how the world treats them as an object, and how they effect the world. With other ideas such as,”Hard as a Rock,” “Crawl like a Spider,” “Jumping on Air,” They can imitate the concepts upon their own selves without changing the physical form of their bodies. Often useful as it's on/off. However, the more impossible the idea, the more power it takes. Then again, a skillful invoker won't have much trouble with even those.
-Physical Shift: These changes are of the human-form itself. They can go so far as to alter oneself completely into the image of another human being, change into that of half-man, half animal, Change specific limbs into those of beasts, employ the forms of creatures from various myth and legend(This requires upkeep of Concept Shift depending on the legend) and perhaps even other more unique forms. However, the non-human forms they take may cause them to lose vision of their true form, twisting their default form into an imitation of the human body.
>>
>>24738551
Drawbacks- relying on the absorption of the immaterial world into their own bodies, they can pick up strange thoughts and ideas if they're not fully converted by their power. This occurs when they absorb an idea they don't totally understand, or if they've already used too much of their power between resting periods. They also have a drawback similar to Evokers when it comes to overuse of their powers, in that their bodies begin to break down and hemmorage from the power fatigue. When it reaches this state, even those that have learned kinds of regeneration are unable to convert the immaterial into the necessary self-healing.
>>
>>24738529
other races? clearly I missed some threads...
>>
>>24738559
Its the first adventures Dran did. Goblins, bugbears, sea niggers, etc
>>
I'm thinking we should go envoker this time, if only because, as a gypsy, we would probably use it to create lockpicks and counterfeit money.
>>
>>24738556
-Animists- These are the least common of Overhumans, they rely on the manipulation of their own immaterial self (Soul, spirit, chi, aura, by various mythos) to affect the world around them as
well as empowering themselves. They tend to have the strangest and most “alive” powers. Yet they tend to be restricted by the strength of their soul and will. Some may argue they are the strongest, others claim they are the weakest. Overhumans agree though, that Animists are the most adaptable.
Examples:
Most Invoker possibilities
Most Evoker possibilities
Possession
Alchemy
Puppeteer

Their Skillsets include both Evoker and Animist, along with one of their own.

Soul: With the fact that they use their own soul, this is the core to their abilities. An animist unpracticed in this discipline will find that they cannot defend against the forces of the immaterial world. This discipline involves the meditation and purity of the self. With purity, they will notice perpetual good health, wounds that heal quickly(Not to the extent of Invokers) and the ability to more easily move their soul in and out of their body in parts or as a whole.
Due to this, Animists are usually the only ones that witness the immaterial world without dying, allowing them to perhaps garner secrets or search for someone without inherently exposing themselves.
The stronger this discipline is, the greater advantage they have in using their powers, making up for their inherent “weakness.”

>>24738559
Referring to a civ-quest I ran some time ago. It involved many races and I allowed a variety of tribes from session to session. Some tribes met each other, others didn't. It was fun, but it really burnt me out.
>>
>>24738580


Drawbacks-
With ones own soul as the power source for this magic instead of the immaterial world, they run greater dangers of contaminating themselves with unsavory thoughts and ideas if they are not “guarded.”
While they do not suffer the endurance shortcomings of the other two, it is worth noting that they are jacks of all trades, master of none, as they aren't capable of as much widespread manipulation as Evokers, or the sheer extent of superhuman abilities of the invokers. However, within the range of an masterful animist's soul, the reality is their plaything
>>
Dynamic between the Overhuman types:

Due to the way that the three types of Overhumans use their abilities, they have shown certain advantages over one another:

Animists VS Invokers

Invokers employ their powers by absorbing energy from the immaterial world. The larger and more powerful the “entity” is from the immaterial world, the harder it is for them to drain. That said, souls are among the most difficult thing for an Invoker to take in, and a knowledgeable Animist can snuff out the full extent of an Invoker's power.

The reason that souls are so difficult to absorb, is that they contain everything a person ever has or will be. Such a great idea could only be ripped out by a master Invoker, and even then, not without cost.

Invokers VS Evokers

Due to the dynamic of output/input between Evokers and Invokers, a skilled invoker can eat away at the unnatural effects that evokers employ, draining their “cast” and in turn becoming all the stronger for it. Invokers may effectively negate the power of Evokers by this method, however a knowledgeable Evoker can employ alternate methods that could prevent an Invoker from eating their power.

Similarly to Animist vs Invoker, if an Evoker puts out an idea that's too big or complex for the Invoker, it can wreck them, however such is a risky move, as it could tax an evoker in exactly the same way.

Evokers VS Animists

As Evokers alter the immaterial world itself to affect reality, they can cast things into the flow that could potentially plague a careless animist. With their soul exposed, it becomes easy to place thoughts that may cloud their minds, distract them, and thus bring about their undoing.

A knowledgeable Animist will often be more careful around Evokers, in the way that they keep their power close, and pure. However when facing off against Evokers which prefer to be medium to long-ranged, this can damn them all the same.
>>
If we're signing up, I'm ready.
I'm choosing to be an Evoker Student with enhanced or more focus in conceptualization, if I can.
>>
>>24738580
I say we go with Animist, jack-of-all-trades seems appropriate for a gyp.
>>
>>24738580
I like animist, we did invoker last time and evoker seems a little too squishy.
>>
I know those were some big posts.

Delegating... The Age will be 22.

That was actually rather painless...
And have no fear, Gypsies are a bit world-weary... And Scumbags.

>>24738619
I'd love to run this as a tabletop of I had the experience with a system to make this work...

And that setup would actually be pretty good at accumulating power quickly...

Animist-

Set.

Will you chose your mark of Power?

>Mark of Power: A telltale sign of an Overhuman. It can be a discoloration of skin, unnatural hair-color, a tattoo-like pattern. Among overhumans-
>Evokers tend to have discolored eyes and veining.
>Invokers tend to have various Tattoo-like patterns.
>Animists tend to have unnatural hair color or spots that coincide with "chakra points."

The marks trend towards these types, and they will glow through clothing should an ability be in use.

>[] Unnatural Hair- (Color)
>[] Tattoo-like pattern- Color/Location
>[] Chakra Points
>[] Eye Discoloration (Color)
>[] Colored Veining (Color)

>>24738891
Unnatural hair - rainbow colored.

Examples of marks-

Omar Denis possessed a silver tattoo before he ate the legend of the phoenix and it changed into a full body orange and yellow pattern.

Margaret Willow possessed Violet Schlera.

Eliza Rendough Possessed Blue skin under her fingernails.

Walter Guli Possessed a brick and Mortar pattern upon the right side of his face.

Kyle Bulwoski possessed a pure white pox-like pattern and deep red skin when he used his power.

Brandon Noire possessed Red Aiming Reticules within his Iris.

Manipulation: While you may impress an idea upon the world and even make it stronger, you must first gather the world into your grip. THis affects your ability to grasp and control your environment more precisely and upon a larger scale.

Put a 2nd rank in Conceptualization.

Buy the 2nd rank of manipulation.

This, I guess. I'm a little hazy on how much stuff cost. 1st rank is 1 point, second rank is 3 points, and 3rd rank is 6 points, right?
>>
>>24739471
second rank cost 2, 3rd rank cost 3, first rank cost one.
The bonus is what we start with, and you need the previous rank, meaning to rank from 0-3 would be 6 points

Well done.

Any opposed?

>>24739624
Making guns with Conceptualization will require at least rank 2 and either knowledge of how the firearms work, or an idea that you force to work with your soul that would trade off knowledge for requiring Rank 1 Concept and rank 2 Enforce. I'll post possible initial power specializations based on these stats.
>>
Soul: With acknowledgment of your soul and some passive protection to outside ethereal forces, you show a stronger will than most Animists of your experience. You have control enough to insert parts of your soul into objects, with more ease with those that you hold dear. You are resistant to contamination.
3rd rank
Effective Range of Soul: 5 Meters.
Effective Remote Range of Soul: 20 Meters X Conceptualization level= 40 meters.

Reinforcement: You consider your body second, you don't much have the fortitude to stand up to a straight bullet, nor could you block it. However blunt force from the swing of a normal human should not be too daunting...
1st rank

Enforcement: You can issue one simple command to a part of you that has exited your body. Multiple commands and complex commands radically reduce the power and efficiency.
1st rank

Conceptualization: You have a decent grasp of 3D images, and anything that you've taken the time to learn may be replicated in some way with your powerful soul... However your ability to shift and manipulate is still something to be desired in this event..
2nd rank

Shift(Concept): You are unable to change the inherent properties of objects.
Rank 0
Quickening: You may accelerate yourself to approximately 1.5 times your natural speed, replicating this same event in anything your soul Possesses.
1st rank

Manipulation: You leave much to be desired when it comes to psychokinetics, however you are able to move light and malleable objects with some ease...
1st Rank
>>
Possible powers from disciplines:

Possession: This ability allows you to assert fine control over objects your soul enters, allowing you to move it as though part of your own body.
(Prereqs. Soul 3, Manipulation 1 Enforcement 1)

Tulpa: The power of your soul and imagination come to life. Imaginary friends and Other thoughforms manifest from your soul to defend you and strike down your enemies!
(Prereqs: Conceptualization 2, Soul 2.)

Can our tulpa be a small horse?
>>
>>24739994
No
>>
>>24739994
It needs to be like Sam Jackson from Afro Samurai
>>
Soul Stitching: You have the ability to cast threads forged of your very own Soul. These threads can bind wounds, interfere with inorganic material, and can be used to enforce or "sew" inorganic.

(Prereqs: Soul 2 Concept 2.)

>>24739994
It will be randomly generated. And it may be terrifying.

As a note, Omar was killed by a Tulpa made by Violet. Violet is an Evoker.

Evoker and Animist Tulpas are fundamentally different.

Animist Tulpas are made of their soul.
Evoker Tulpas are manifested and can go wild if not controlled properly.

That sounds like an animist tulpa reduces the pool of soul available to the animist for working magic
>>
>>24740081
This is true. However animist Tulpas will never turn on their masters due to being of the same origin.

The best way to think of them would be "Stands."

>Preparing for JOJO-time shitstorm.
>>
As a side-note other specializations will become available based on ranks acquired in the different categories along with receiving proper inspiration or instruction.

So this won't be your first and only power. It'll just be the first and your, "Petre Lupei's "fundamental."

Could we use this to puppet master inorganic things? Like send the stitches through a pile of junk and weave it into a doll / golem and puppet it at enemies?

Posession has a higher prereq cost than tulpa. Makes me think it's kinda better.
>>
>>24740178
Its cost is the same, just separated over different skills
>>
>>24740165

With further manipulation for increased control and further enforcement for power. Shift for utility as it can alter properties..

I wanted to clarify that part of you "Shift"

Concept Shift means that you can make stone conduct like Gold, Your body, lighter than air. Ice, burn like fire. Increased skill allows you to change the rules of reality of the space your soul occupies.
>>
I'm seeing 2 for Tulpa.

Possibly 1 for Possession.

And an inquiry to Soul Stitching.

Aside: While your current abilities don't leave enough expertise for a wider range of specializations, I am open to your ideas for power that incorporate the soul. I have my own idea of progression, however I will take and "stat" prereqs for ideas you may have.

Puppeteering of course being one that I'll flesh out.

Sorry that this is taking so long, slow start and I want this to be relatively solid.

Are there any other questions to get out of the way?

Petre Lupei

Age: 22
Overhuman: Unawakened Animist
Projected Skills:

Do we have any details we would like to assign to Petre Lupei?

As a gypsy, it is likely that he is lanky with tan skin and down to earth attire...

Is there anything anyone would like to add to his personality other than being shady and border-line unlawful?

So what we've made is a 22 year old gypsy with a phobia of owls, a dislike of children, and who typically wears a sash, vest, and jeans. Has the typical gypsy/Blood Raven traits of stealing anything not bolted down.

Right?

That can be our tulpa, a blood red raven.

>>24740772
Yep.

I'm thinking we can start snatching things with soul strings used as lashes.

Yes, unless anyone would like to add or dispute anything. So long as nothing's too ridiculous, or remains unopposed, I'll add it.

>>
You are in a daze from an explosion that occurred not too far from your location in a mall that your father and your brother were peddling various wares...

It's fuzzy, but you remember that you had come to California to trade scrap metals that your father had near conned from some redneck scrapyard down in Texas.

You'd be smiling at that thought right now, if only you hadn't such a splitting headache from the shellshock.

As your vision returns to you, you see that the part of the mall's roof has collapsed, the main column's cracked, slowly sliding out of place if not for one man holding it steady in support, two halos glowing upon his back brightly.

The column is obviously far beyond what one man should be able to bear... However he's sustaining it... The ringing in your head slowly comes to an end and you look around for your brother and Father.

You see your father's hand from underneath the collapsed rubble, and you see that your brother is unconscious next to you.

You scream, though you can barely hear it past the ringing in your ears, and feel the tears begin to sting your eyes as they come.

>[] Rush to the Rubble and try to dig out your father with your bare hands.

Through your tear-blurry vision, you see that there are other people hurt from the blast, some are half-buried by rubble, others like your brother and yourself, How many others lie underneath, you don't want to imagine...

>[] Help other survivors out of the building.

You hear the man with Halos scream as the column shifts in his grip, causing some rubble to come down from the ceiling.

>[] Rush to the man, ask for his aid!

If there's anything else you can do, you aren't quite sure...

Your brother begins to awaken.

>[] Take your brother and rush out before the whole building falls.
>>
>>24741045
The doodle monster is our tulpa.

Maybe. Probably not.

>>24741075

You can actually survive getting crushed by rubble pretty well, the impacts don't kill you as long as you avoid head trauma, but you eventually suffocate or starve.
>>
>>24741212

>>24741207

If you want to tear off the family hand and run with that for now I don't mind.
>>

>>24741223
I keep my vote for digging him out
>>
You ignore the people that aren't your family, after all, family is the only thing in the world that really matters. No one's helped you. Your father taught you letters, the tricks of your tradem your lifestyle... And just as well, you've always been there for each other, especially after Mother died Pali's birth.

"Pali..." You can hardly hear your own voicem how is he supposed to hear? You scream at him," PALI, GET UP!"

Your Younger Brother twitches and his eyes open. He appears in just as much agony as you from the explosion. You manage to stand and pull him up to do the same.

He begins to tear up after you point at the rubble with Father's hand.

You give the teenage boy a hard slap and shout past the ringing in your ears," Papa says no crying Pali! We're helping Papa!"

Pali grits his teeth and runs with you over to the rubble as yet even more of the building comes down between the two of you, missing by sheer luck.

The man with Halos begins screaming from behind the two of you. You can't hear his words, but you can't look back either with Papa right in front of you.

You and Pali begin to move rubble out of the way, focusing on the small things before the two of you prepare to move the slab. Soon enough, you see the other people recover from their shellshock and begin to either flee themsekves or begin digging out their loved ones.

At this point, you can hear the man with halos," Jen! Wake up! Please wake up! You need to get out of here!" His screams are mixed in with his wails and sobs.

"You need to go! I can't... I don't know if I can keep this up!" The man blubbers.

"Jen, I need you for this, I... I always... I always said that I'd be your Atlas... I'd hold the world up for you.. But Jen... I can't do this!" The man's shudders reflect in the roof above your head as more of the column is displaced by the man's waning strength.

(cont.)
>>
You see your father's head after moving a key piece of rubble and you and your brother redouble the effort, tears stinging your eyes the entire time.

With your brother's help, you manage to pull your father free of the rubble.

With a moment of joy, you turn Papa over and brush the dust from his face.

Then your heart sinks again, you notice that he isn't breathing... How did Papa say to fix this. What did Papa say to do when someone isn't breathing? You place your palms on hist chest and push deeply, imitating a crude CPR.

Your brother begins to cry again as he seems to understand what it is you're doing, and why.

With a hard slap, you quiet the boy, now's not the time.

>[] Continue your crude CPR.

>[] Seek another survivor for aid.

>[] Seek out the Halo man's "Jen"

You direct Pali to promptly shut his mouth and you pick up Papa by his shoulders, while Pali takes his feet.

You point at a way out through the rubble and you and your brother run, bearing your father with all of the strength that you can possibly muster.

"I won't let Papa die, we can't let Papa die Pali!" You shout to your brother as the two of you make your exodus.

You pass other grieving people wrapped up in their own struggle to help their loved ones, some of them strangers helping others... That thought is strange to you. You can't imagine helping someone that you didn't know.

You pass the man with Halos as tears stream down his face. You glance back and see a glowing woman rise from the debris to hold him, he relaxes, for a moment, yet then you hear a strange echo of a voice resounding from him," I... Will be your Atlas..."

You and your brother are the first to make it to the outside of the building, only to see more ruin among the streets. It's all changed in little under an hour. Buildings are on fire, the roads are shattered, buildings collapsed, and before you stands a man, covered cxompletely in bandages, and wearing a mask over his face. He stares at you with golden eyes through the mask, you can see that his skin is dark.

You and Pali gape at him for a moment, until you realize that he's closer than he appears. In the very next moment of viewing he stands before Pali, hands behind his back and looking down upon the two of you.

The man is not particularly large, yet there seems to be something... Immense about him.

You hear a smooth African voice speak through the mask,"The first out of this building. Boys, is this your father? He was the only one you could save?"

"We... We don't need anyone else!" Pali spits at the man's feet. A fist would be thrown if he wasn't holding Father up.

The man does not glance or flinch from the action, his stance is statuesque.
>>
>>24741500
God damn gypsies man
>>
"You are failing in even saving this one... your father at that.. You sacrificed the lives of all those people in there, and for what purpose? A half-dead man?"

With a red face, you shout out," He isn't dead! We can still save him!"

The Man stares directly into your eyes, as though he's peering directly into the fibers of your being with those golden eyes," You cannot. I can. But for a price."

"What's the price..." You swallow hard, you don't like dealing with people.. and you know that it isn't a good deal unless you can haggle... Something about this man tells you that he isn't the haggling type.

"A life for a life. You so easily gave up the lives of those that are still in that center. Trade your life, or your brother's, and I will return your father to life."

This... this isn't a deal.

Clearly we need to steal our father's life from him. Channel gypsy theft powers.

There is no conflict within you, "Pali, help me set him down."

Your brother turns back to you, tears in his face," What, what's this guy talking about?"

The Golden Eyed Man stands before you, remaining still as a statue as he watches the two of you.

"Nothing, set papa down!" You scream at your brother to snap him out of his daze.

You resume what little you know of CPR to try to get breath back into your father, his body is starting to feel cool..

You hear the Golden-eyed man laugh behind you," Interesting, most interesting. You would sacrifice the many for one... But you can not sacrifice yourself or another close to you. A life for a life is not worth a life now is it."

The man's words sink into your head, you feel the slightest bit of guilt within you as he is right, you left the mothers, fathers, and children of others in that building... the building that has... still yet to fall?

You pause in your futile cpr and look back to the standing buildind. "Look at you! You're not fucking helping anyone! And the building hasn't fallen yet! They can still make it out!"

The Golden-Eyed Man takes his vision off of you and looks to the nearly destroyed exit.

"Hmm, yes... and should they make it out... I will ask them the same question... And kill them when they refuse to answer."

The Golden-eyed man holds a palm out to you as his eyes stare at you with the slightest look of pain, among a sea of stillness.

His eyes glow and you see light concentrating into his hands, building up a dangerous, concentrated energy.

"My name is Susej, Any last words?

Don't tell him he's about to get shanked, just shank him. If we don't have a knife our father surely does.

"Pali, get a weapon!"
>>
You stare at the man with defiance in your eyes, you know not of what power he's using to pull a trick like that, but it doesn't scare you.

He seems to wait for your next move and you give him an answer...

You grip an ornate dagger that father has always kept close to him...

You feel a surge of euphoria as you take the knife firmly within your grasp.

Without glancing at the Golden-Eyed man, you make a lunge for him as you draw father's dagger, intending to plunge it deep into the man's body.

You won't let him threaten you.

You won't let him threaten your brother.

And you're going to save your father.

The man does not move, but you see the release of a flash of light, that fades into nothing as it comes into your space.

Undaunted, you sink the blade deep into the man's stomach, right where you'd been taught there are kidneys.

The man utters not a yelp, not a word, not a flinch as you draw the dagger back, no blood pours from the wound.

I fact, the wound seals itself.

"Interesting. To think a committal to violence would cause you to awaken. I will test this upon the others."

The man draws away from you, seeming distant as he walks toward the building that's still standing. He holds up his palm once more, light rushing in and condensing as though it's alive.

You feel a... gentleness within you, one that calls for you to protect. This man... he threatens your family...

He's leaving us alone for now, lets get our family out of here. What he does to others is no concern of ours.

What should I archive this as?

I'm thinking of continuing the trend of "Overhuman Quest: Petre Lupei; Session 1"

Anyone else have a way that they think I should put it? Speak now or forever be at peace.

There is a moment... but a moment that you'd so revel in the chance to drive your blade into this man's back.

Exposed, ignoring you, distracted by the prospect of others... But you know better than that. A knife in the back does not mend lost family. Uncle on Mother's side was who needed that lesson when he threatened Pali for killing her. Father set him straight. Father always knew the right thing to say and always looked out for his boys... Now it's your turn to look out for father.

You withdraw from the man, backing off slowly as he begins to unleash flashes of light that yield pained screams.

As you and Pali pick up your Father to turn tail and run, you notice that Father feels much, so much lighter than before... Almost as though you could carry him yourself.

You glance at the back of your own hand and see that you have a small white crescent moon shape upon your hand, softly glowing with varying intensity.

The two of you begin to run away as Susej goes about his business, getting farther and farther away... You hear him call out from afar, his voice resounding, yet quiet as a whisper," They shall all come to understand suffering..."

With the roads broken and uneven, you and Pali find traversing to be quite difficult. Between burning buildings, crashed cars, and streetlights, this is an entirely different "world" What the hell happened within just an hour?

As the two of you head for the nearest hospital, you notice that there are no police, no firetrucks, and people that were in their cars are being pulled out by men and woman of various race, most appearing African.

They beat the people with car doors and some scream at those they've pulled out in some broken English, very little being fluent.

They're angry about something...

You notice that a group of them's taken attention of you and Pali as you run by with your father, seeking out a hospital....

(Next thread will be tomorrow at about 17 pm serverside.

Hope you guys enjoyed!)

I... I can see where it would be similar... I've never heard of him before now..

That kind of "doesn't give a fuck" is a bit amusing... I'll see about incorporating some of that into Petre's overall personality.

Quick question for anyone around, doing what research I can on the Romani (Gypsy) and I found something pertaining to their beliefs and customs..

Some groups have rooted beliefs in Hinduism, with a focus on the Kuntari, or universal balance. That all things have a natural place in the world.

For that reason, the Romani tend to fear Hens and Frogs as they are things that are out of place. (Birds that only walk upon the ground, creatures that can easily live in either water or land)

Shall Petre be the superstitious type and have a revulsion to such things?
>Y/N

Aside from that, they have a belief in accumulated corruption from performing certain actions. For this reason, the Romani started with a bonus in Soul. It would also follow that overall, he would have a well enough tendency to resist contamination should he remain faithful to his beliefs. (Not necessarily these specific ones, mind you.)

I'm going to see if I can't finish a good picture today and give you guys a meter for corruption, skill ranks, etc.
>>
Kind of surprised at the lack of replies to this..

Anyway, working on the MC's picture. Like I said, it's not going to be amazing.

But It'll be something!
