page 199S.H.R. Agency RAWR Ok ok ok ok ok. I'm such a scatterbrain, BUT I've REORGANISED you guys into the stages I think you should be in. Geez. Stage 0 + Trinity Angel Michaels (Randy2love) ((hasn't been recruited yet)) + LoQuinn Sumert (crazyluffaspawn) ((almost advancing)) + Jay (Coyotes Cry) ((only a trainee)) + Fiona Ann Sonu (xPantherx) ((only a trainee)) + Claudius Rylan "Chuck" Door (Yakobi) ((hasn't been recuited yet)) + Keagan and Kaden (Nikiana) ((almost advancing + Domani Ruggiero (Darcy) ((not even recruited)) Stage 1 + Candice Kiernan (Amirynth) ((haven't started missions yet) + Jasmine Peterson (Sejii) ((haven't started real missions, are still only practicing. so you're barely into stage 1)) Stage 2 + Daniel Hooper (A Spoonful of Agent) + Raleigh Adney Birch (Ruriska) + Erol Avery (Kuuro Kitten) So THIS means that Raleigh and Erol and Daniel are up for a trip to AGATHA! Which, ICly will be set BEFORE the missions you took against Flood (Raleigh, Daniel) and Mudslide (Erol), cuz we can't have our new supers going around without a spiffy SPANDEX costume. biggrin Let me know what you guys waaaaaant. I'll set up something for ya'll tomorrow. xD Think about your costume designs. ;D It'll just be a first draft. They'll get upgraded/updated when they advance more.

page 207SSJ Girl Ok, some costume drafts:
For the twins:I was thinking, each of them a different color. One main color red, the other main color black, both yellow accents (much like the Flash, yush). Full body spandex and a mask just like the Flash has. See picture. Maybe not the wings on the side. ;D I wanted something else on their heads thoug. As for markings, I was toying with the idea of giving them both a seperate logo that becomes one if they merge together. So they'd be weird when apart, but awesome when together. Also, I was thinking the spandex would be cut off just below the elbow so their lower arms would be bare. They could wear padded gloves, to soften the impact of any punches they might give as well as keeping the suit intact if the manage to set their arms on fire. ;D  For ErolI was thinking sky blue, yellow, white, black, with sky blue and black being the two dominant colors. Mainly sky blue, but with large patches of black on the sides of the legs, sides of the arm and sides of the torso. Like the Green Lantern (sorta). Just less black. Of course, if that ends up looking horrid, I'll change it to look nice. For patterns I was thinking of a sort of lightning bolt-ish circle on his chest and maybe some lightening bolt-ish strips on other parts. No gloves, spandex stops just halfway his lower arm since he uses those to send out shockwaves (I think) so they shouldn't be obstructed by anything. For RaleighI'm usually against capes (because of Edna's speech in the incredibles xD) but I think Raleigh could do with one to hide creatures in or to make it of such material that Raleigh could form it. An Auron like cape! :O So with a high-collar and nice and flowy. Maybe Raleigh'd carry some sort of bracers made out of manipulative material, as well as something over his chest. It would be a light, yeeet manipulative material once more. He needs to remain nimble and quick since his powers aren't direct powers. On the OTHER hand, because of his creatures, he can afford to be weighed down a bit if it would benefit him. I was thinking full body spandex, knee high boots, short gloves (or none at all, just spandex). I'm a bit stumped on this one, honestly. For colors I was thinking greens and browns. Maybe a sort of chest armor. On the other hand; he needs to be remain lithe on his feet to dodge any attacks. Right. FEEDBACK.

page 218S.H.R. Agency FLASHCHARGE HAS FALLEN!!!
"This is Maria Beckingtail reporting with Channel One news. In a report from the front at Africa, we have heard the Flashcharge is missing in action. It is reported that he was attempting to save the lives of some men when, for reasons unknown, his powers spiraled out of control. All that was left was a deep crater. Let us pray that nothing has happened to our very own hero."
---------------------------M E T A P L O T - INFO ----------------------------
Under the harsh rays of the fierce desert sun, fighting was murder and nearly un-doable. The desert inhabitants, as well as Avalanche himself were all well attuned to these conditions and were generally better able to fight and often had the better hand on them.
However, the moment the greatest heroes entered the fray, the magnificent tag-team of Bolthor and Sir Aquifer, H2O or Flashcharge, the tide always seemed to turn into the advantage for the World Alliance. Cheered and bolstered by the success of their commanders, the troops rallied and always managed to put in that extra bit of effort to drive the enemy away.
Today was a particularly rough battle. The sun was harsh, the sand was stirring and being just plain hostile to all of them, probably due to some sort of earth evolved somewhere. It was nearing an all out chaotic brawl once more. Shouts and cries, flashes, power bursts everywhere and all the whole that damn sun.
Flashcharge was navigating through, helping out the supers that seemed to be in trouble, or dispatching anyone he could do safely and easily. He had just taken a break and closely observed the battlefield to see where he was next needed when a flash of gold caught his eyes. When he focused in on it, he could see a-- he squinted -- civilians? Women and children by the looks of it, harassed by some evolved who was carrying a massive golden scythe. And he was about to-- Flashcharge pushed off and vanished to the naked eye. Less than a second later it was as if he appeared out of thin air to blast the scythe guy away. He didn't just appear, of course. He had found out the trick on how he could accelerate super fast on short distances. It cost him a lot of energy, but it was helpful in cases such as this. To others it might appear as if he was teleporting.
In any case, nwo that the danger was averted, Flashcharge turned back to the civilians, a confident and reassuring smile on his face. He was just about to say them everything was fine when he met red eyes.
...red....eyes..
darkness...
assault
voices, shouting, crying, trying to-- to-- to SUBDUE-- to-- take.. OVER-- and he couldn't--- no...no....
"NO!" he cried out, he gripped his head, trying to force out the darkness that was threatening to take him, it scared him, frightened him, that darkness it, it-- nearly out of his mind, Flashcharge instinctively blasted his energy outwards, trying to blast away the threat surrounding him. The sudden blast of energy wiped away everything around him in a short radius, but also left his mind vulnerable for just a few seconds.
It was enough.
The darkness enclosed him and the last thing Thomas saw when he blacked out were red--oh so red-- eyes.
Like the color of blood.

page 227S.H.R. Agency ATTENTION I have just made a mass journal update and set the basics up for ALL of you. What I want everyone to do, is to go to their new (or updated, if you've set it up yourself) journal and REVIEW the information in the first post. If everything is correct then send me a a PM saying so.
If anything is incorrect then send me a PM with the corrections.
Everyone must write out a proper power description of at least two sentences and PM that also. (More is preferred, but not necessary). OPTIONAL The color scheme of the first two posts is currently: Thick text InformationIf you want me to change those colors into whatever you like, then PM that also. You can either use the BBcode color names as Gaia does, or you can throw a hexadecimal this way. ----------------------------

page 230Super Secret Helper SSJ SAID I WOULD BE POSTING AN EXAMPLE JOURNAL: In stead of doing that, I would like to show off one of our writer's journals that is just FABULOUS. It does everything I asked for, and a little more, and all done well. Yes, some of it is redundant between what we put in the first two posts and what she's done, but that makes updating easier. Either do it like this, OR reserve a post to yell at us for updating purposes in journal if you don't like redundant information. A Journal that Fits The IMAGE!! =D

page 237Flashcharge It Is Not Your End Yet
((OOC Information, characters may respond to the news report, but they'd know nothing of this
SEJII And ALL- BTW, your character WOULD know who FC is as a hero. He and Sir Aquifer are two world heroes everyone knows about. FC is loved in America, SA is well loved everywhere, but especially the UK and that western coastal area of Europe. So our European characters might not be as enamored with FC as our American characters, but they WOULD know him.
America might revolve around Flashcharge and consider his presence to be the most noticeable aspect in all the world. In Africa, in the middle of a war, it was a minor miracle that the precious few missed his presence that did miss it. And they didn't indicate it to alert anyone else. Distraction was a luxury that could not be afforded. As ideal as the concept is, one may be for all, but all simply cannot be for one in some realities.
It was when both sides had had enough that a larger part of the army became aware that something was wrong. Instead of one of his usual customs, Sir Aquifer sent notice that he wanted a certain imprint evolved, if able, to report and to report NOW. Then they, along with Bolthor, left, putting the fourth man down the line in command. Rumors immediately ran through the camp. Their chief admiral hadn't
looked that bad since they'd lost half a dozen of their best men.... Bolthor had been noticeably in disagreement with him, and that had never happened before. A large part of the morale of the camp was based in the fact that the commanders had always been so strongly in agreement over everything. Where was Flashcharge anyway? Neither had he followed his usual customs. . .
The imprint evolved located them in the crater that Flashcharge had caused. Miraculously, they were not exposed to the desert sun, but sheltered underneath a boulder that sat precariously in the sand. The middle aged man was terrified, and trying to protect Flashcharge. His English was broken, but they were able to find from him that Flashcharge had saved him during the fighting. He had come out with his family, desiring to get away from the rule of Avalanche and wishing to use his telekinetic abilities to help in the fight. All he had done was kill his family and Flashcharge too.
Perhaps he was right about his family, but it was with relief that they found Flashcharge to--barely--be well. It would be a matter only of getting him back safely.
Oodjit just would not leave Flashcharge's side in the tent. It was a blessing to have him, really. The man was distraught and distracted, but he quickly became a large help to the over-worked medic staff. To Bolthor, who took the time to sit with Oodjit, interview him, and cross examine him about what he knew about the situation for the civilians and the forced work of the African evolveds, he offered some
tidbits of insight. Though not necessarily helpful, there was no telling when a random piece of information might prove to become so.
When Flashcharge did finally break out of his coma, he had a severe, but short-lived, loss of memory. When he regained his memory, it was still clear that he was having some problems. The sassy,
not-in-bed-until-dead attitude was gone. He moved uncertainly, slowly, and sometimes jerked unexpectedly.
Sir Aquifer hated to do it, but he was going to have to pull rank on his third. He was afraid arguing with Thomas in this state would be worse than facing Avalanche himself face on. But it was time. After a short greeting, he went straight to the point, "Thomas, I think it is time for you to go back to America."

page 251Super Secret Helper =D Lufa, you should stop following Count von Count and perhaps you won't find yourself in Barton counting forest RPs (nice hint around how slow it can get around here, though, and my apologies ^_^). Writer's Challenge!! -- PM SUPER SECRET HELPER for involvement, NOT this mule, NOT Ariya, and definitely NOT SSJ.. Super Secret Helper mule is the only one that can handle the influx of PMs. As soon as I have enough people, I'll throw in a start post with a list of who's involved. Some of the NSA trainees have been called to Denver, Colorado, one of the offices of the NSA (and, I might add, becoming a central location where quite a few of our characters are within 2 hours driving distance). Were annoying flies in Charles' ears, immature ah... eager, active minds are gathered, the need for flyswatters trouble adventures follow. NSA Possibility One Erol's band is playing in a club this weekend and somehow news of this got out to our dear supers-to-be. Unfortunately, it's a 21+ club (Erol's special and they let him anyway), so MOST of our characters aren't up to the correct age.... But Erol is A) one of the older trainees who's been on missions, and that's SUPER AWESOME!! or B) Really fun to torture-tease or C) Super cute (but, sshhh....) or D) playing your kinda music. Other than Kuu, two NSA writers may jump on this opportunity. This one may end up being entirely PC character run, it may end up with NPCs involved. If people want to jump on the bandwagon here and don't know how to start, I'll start it up for you, but I'm not promising involvement. NSA Possibility Two: The news has just recently come out that Flashcharge is DEAD.... Now all these trainees are gathered into one room, either in a boring meeting, or getting ready to train together. Someone starts demanding to know what went on. Ace will be an NPC involved here, and he'll totally blab that Thomas is sssoooo alive, but he's gone mental. Then he'll call and ask him to come visit. wink For this RP, I'm going to keep it moving with my replies. No posting order, just try to get in a reply, two replies tops, between NPC replies. DA Possibility One: In one scenario or another (depending on who signs up will depend on the scenario), you, at least one of the DA mentors, and your new DA friend have run into trouble during a botched joy ride...Nothing BAD, just slightly illegal, but for GOOD reason, but it just went WRONG... You find yourself saved by a familiar fireworks show. Mmm... What do we do with Photon when we meet him heads on? This RP will be heavily NPC based, and no more than two writers. DA Possibility Two: Before the official RP starts up, in Hawaii, you find that your flight arrived about the same time as another's (or, if you're Daniel, you were waiting for this/these particular arrivals). This would be a quickie get-to-know you group RP that will have only a minimal of NPC involvement, and that only because I have to write small blurbs for mentors. But I want to stay out of it as much as possible. Again, I'll start it for those who want to get involved, but I'd like this one to be self-running for the most part. S.H.R. Agency Insanity is for the Crushed
Flashcharge is Crushed Flashcharge and Odjit had been flown back to the US almost immediately after Sir Aquifer had called the famed hero in to order him home. Once back, Flashcharge had been checked up a million times, forced to spend in bed a million forevers and generally be-- well... grumpy, mostly. It was clear to those that knew him he wasn't the same he had been. Something... there was something not entirely right with him. Odjit, Flashcharge's friend, on the other hand, seemed to thrive. He looked better than he had than when he first arrived and got along with nearly everyone. Everyone seemed to quite unanimously find him a charming and very charismatic man. Admirable to be sure, after all, he was still doing so well after the terrible things he had gone through! AND he had saved Flashcharge! Something that endeared him to nearly everyone. It was now nearing two weeks after Flashcharge's initial return, and he still wasn't like he used to be. Pale, subdued, more like a shadow of his former self. He tried, sure, but it seemed he was unable to overcome whatever it was. He had once complained to Photon and Darebone about the 'breeze' becoming such a bother and he really did NOT like it anymore, but upon closer inspection, there was no draft whatsoever and left the two for a mystery. Another thing Flashcharge had grown an aversion to was the color red. He winced whenever he saw it and tended to look away. His only explanation was it made him feel sick and that it reminded him too much of all the blood that was spilled in the desert. There was something else it reminded him of, but that was something he NEVER mentioned. It was hurtful to all who'd known Flashcharge. He moved slowly, as if always coming against something, much like a person in water. He jerked sometimes, and that frightened the medic staff. They were afraid he would jerk and fall one day, hurt himself worse. It was certainly a warning to all would-be supers: Fighting is dangerous. Sometimes it takes your life in it's entirety. Other times...it just took parts of you. The ability to move correctly, the ability to think correctly, the ability to BE who you were. And no one knew if Thomas would heal. Perhaps Avalanche and his men had turned Thomas into a puttering old man a good half century before he should have been. SSJ Girl - CROSSFADE - Woo hoo! The background isn't entirely crappy! biggrin Kuu, if you want one with a white background, let me know and I'll send you one through YIM.

page 255Kuuro Kitten Writer's Challenge Update Quote: NSA POSSIBILITY Erol's band is playing in a club this weekend and somehow news of this got out to our dear supers-to-be. Unfortunately, it's a 21+ club (Erol's special and they let him in anyway), so MOST of our characters aren't up to the correct age....

If people want to jump on the bandwagon here and don't know how to start, I'll start it up for you, but I'm not promising involvement. As an update to the above written challenge, I have made a flyer of which could get loose into the public. It's up to the players on how they got a hold of the flyer, but it shouldn't be too hard considering, Erol likes to collect any flyers/poster with mention of his band; Poor Unfortunate Souls. And just his luck that in this flyer he got to make a cameo appearance.

page 256Super Secret Helper Writer's Challenge!! -- PM SUPER SECRET HELPER for involvement, NOT this mule, NOT Ariya, and definitely NOT SSJ..See page 51 for specifics on these if you're not sure what they are. NSA Possibility One Being led by Kuu, we'd like at least one more writer, and no more than two more, to sign up here. NSA Possibility Two: No takers, except Ruriska...and hers is going to be done privately. A group-centered RP is still open. DA Possibility One: SPOTS FILLED - If you REALLY wanted to be a part of this, you can try jumping in, but I won't promise anything. I already have to do some fancy footwork here. DA Possibility Two: One person's jumped on this one. Which means we need at least one other to sign up in order for it to work. Any other takers? SSJ Girl Uh, yeah, randomly speaking, I sort of wanted to do something nice for the twins. Here ya go. xD Refresh if you dont see the nifty color background. xD http://ssjgirl.deviantart.com/art/CoE-The-Parker-Twins-75028505

page 257SSJ Girl And for Jazz:  S.H.R. Agency Flashcharge down, let's take out THIS one. . .
One Crushed Insanity for Photon, coming right up. It had been three weeks of Flashcharge acting like the shell of the person he'd been. He was released from the hospital now, and at his home, but still shuffled around and scared everyone to death with moments of just seeming to mentally sweep away. But then, suddenly, Flashcharge seemed to perk up. Color flooded his face and he seemed healthier than he had the entire three weeks. When Andy came to visit him, Thomas had dressed and was cheerfully grinning at his old friend. "Yo Andy! Glad you're here, just the man I wanted to see. There's someone I want ya to meet. Did ya meet Odjit yet?" he queried, but didn't much wait for the answer. Instead, he took a loose hold on Andy's arm and escorted him out of the room while telling him funny stories from the warfront-- not the war-- but the things on the side. Andy noted that he still WASN'T really like Thomas, he was still behaving oddly. And that going from one opposite to the other wasn't the correct behaviour EITHER. Still, how was he supposed to know that someone was trying to orchestrate Flashcharge's mind as to make him act natural -- and failing miserably, at that. Thomas seemed to light up the moment they stepped outside together. The past few weeks, Thomas had been complaining about the breeze that had not been there, but today there actually WAS a gentle breeze outside and Thomas told Andy how pleasant this one was. So much better than the other one. The other one had been chilling and unnatural but this one-- he took in a breath. This one smelled and felt terribly good and could be really felt. And NOT inside your head, he told Andy laughing. Odjit had been appointed a place by Charles, oddly enough. It was somewhere out in the suburbs of the city. Andy drove them there to pick him up. Odjit was charming, as he had been from the first moment that he had arrived. Everyone had taken to the Egyptian man, and everyone commented about how kind, caring, and valiant he must have been. The poor man, he'd really taken to Thomas, something that was attributed to the fact that he HAD been able to help him, at least, whereas his family had died at that same time.... .....And, like he did with so many of the others, Odjit now tried to cast a subtle mental influence over Andy but found to his dismay he was unable to. There was too much interference. Fireworks. How bothersome and disgusting. Undetected, he pulled back from Andy's mind. He was slightly unnerved it was possible for a mind to resist him. Never mind though, his hold over Thomas was sufficient at this point in time and if the other super decided to get nasty, he'd turn full power on Thomas and have him take care of the situation. They stopped at a large, snow-covered park, it was fairly abandoned now, with the snow disturbed in such a way it was obvious that a vicious snowball fight had taken place there. This would be the place. He would either bend the young super to his will as well, or he would order Flashcharge to kill him. His control over one of the worlds greatest heroes was nearly complete and he would have no trouble to consolidate his hold. The park was abandoned, with hardly any other life-forms there. And if they were, Odjit mused, they would only serve as witnesses to the new dark lord rising. Flashcharge, puppeted by HIM, Odjit, would rule the United States with an iron fist. And then continue on with the world. He was certainly capable of it. He just turned to Andy and smiled at him. And with that smile, the darkness came, and his eyes lit up a bright, blood red. He would take the boy's mind by force. He wanted him. Together with Flashcharge he would be nigh indefeatable and he would RULE the WORLD!
