Welcome to Gaia! ::

The man didn't make the first move, so Rapture assumed that the hero wasn't until he did. Fine with him. Rapture lept towards him, a mess of tendrils lurching ahead of him to wrap around the man's arms. His arms were outstreached and ready to grab onto anything it could.
He wanted to have just a bit of fun with this man. See if he'd be worth running into again at some later point...simply tearing to shreads here and now...or...perhaps he'd prove to be a rather interesting test subject. Just because Rapture had already aquired his own personal goal...didn't mean he had to stop his work. Oh, far from it. There was always the possibility of discovering some natural upgrade to his precious Blood.

The tendrils missed their mark as the man rolled out of the way. Rapture turned his head towards the man just in time to feel something slam into him. He winced, and the tendrils reflexitively shot back towards himself to latch onto the shiled.
Rapture stopped moving around and placed a hand on where the shield had struck him. But...his smile stayed in place. "Well...I actually felt that. Armor skin and all, I felt that. You are going to be fun to play with." he purred in a venom dipped tone.

Rapture watched the man walk around him, his grin still in place. His tendrill still curled and moved about in front of him like a mass of living thorny vines, while his wings kept his back protected.
Experimentally, Rapture started inching closer to the man as he walked. He could try to use one of his newer found abilities...but he'd see just how fun the man was to play with one on one first.

"Oh? A bit late for introductions, isn't it?" Rapture replied, a tendril lashing out at Cap...but didn't make it anywhere near him to be considered an attack. More for play.
"You can call me Rapture." he continued. He couldn't give out any more than that. He needed to keep his mind clear or Reaper would be sure to pick up on it. "Any more than that would be disastrous."

Skuld [the current version of her hovering overhead] shook her head at Cap's comment. "'Experiment gone right?' Oy! That sounded like a script out of a Uwe Bol film. I'd advise avoiding the barbs, though.

The redheaded mage used a detection spell to see just how powerful Rapture actually is. While reviewing what abilities are reveiled to her (the spell isn't perfect but any means. It will reveil basic abilities to the caster), Skuld keeps an eye on Cap's ability to twart Rapture.

And Rapture did just that. Already prepared for the hero to make a move, Rapture easily turned his body just enough that the man sailed past him. But not before he sent a few of his thorned tendrils slashing around at him as the man dove.
His smile, if possible, grew even more. My, this was quite fun. "Diving at me. That's it? Is your shield as far as your heroic attacks go? My, if that's the case, then perhaps I should see how far down the street I can toss this thing." he purred, sliding the shild around in his hands.
It wouldn't be that easy of course. Not with that spell caster hovering around them. She could probably bring it back just as easily as he could toss it away.
Still...no reason he couldn't toy with his food, so to speak. Though the hero would make an excellent exper- erm, that is toy to take back with him. Erm. He needed to remember not to think of such things while Reaper had the ability to pick up on them.
So...with that in mind, and the spell caster around...he should probably get just a bit more serious about messing around with this hero. As much as he hated to admit it...there was always the chance of something going wrong.


As far as the woman's spell went...she'd only see the basics.
Sences, strength, speed and all other physical abilities were multiplied compared to a normal humans. His current form could switch back and forth with original form. Thorny tendrils that could lash out from any part of his body. Massivly thick wings that served offensive and defensive purposes, as well as granting him limited flight. Spikes and horns that he could launch from his body like projectiles. The Blood also had the ability to match it's surroundings, giving it invisibility to those not paying very close attention to their surroundings.
And...should Rapture be cut or bleed...the blood would turn into Blood. To be more specific, it would become a copy of his Blood form. Allowing him to duplicate himself just a bit.

(Sorry for takeing so long.)

Cap landed and watched Rapture throw his sheild. It would come back eventually. Right now he had other things to worry about. "Ha. You think that sheild is all I can do." Cap said right before he tried a leg sweep. If he connected and brought Rapture down, he could capitalize and get a blow or two on Rapture's groofy smile.
