Evernaught City RP

 

You never meant to move here. Beneath the facade of the bustling work city you live in, there lies a plague: a plague of crime. In the stone labyrinth that is Evernaught city, five vigilantes have risen up to take on the crime.

The vigilantes don't have superpowers, aren't even all perfect. They wear masks. They have code names. They fight crime. The similarities to superheroes stop there.

Seven people can join. The positions are:

5 vigilantes

2 main villains

 

RULES:

No superpowers under any circumstances.

No OPness or impossile tech (like invisibility cloaks, none of that).

 

Name: Willomena Zora Bartholomew

Name as a "superhero": Will o' Wisp

WILL POST REST LATER

I just want to apolagize for my OP post, I was thinking, we should bring Starbringers character into this to so that when she comes back she isn't like "AHH everyone forgot about me!" U know?

I get what you mean. But I think she'd want to bring her character in herself? I don't know. I don't think I know her character well enough to understand what she'd do, so I don't want to write for her. When she comes back we can all decide what her charrie was doing the whole time. Post soon, guys!

Somebody please post! Sorry I can't because Rex is kind of useless right now...

Leopold-

Leopold walked in front of the group of scientists, smiling coldly.

The tracking chip in Subject Gamma's arm was a huge help.

Leopold knocked on the doorbof the building ahead of him. "Hello? Is anyone here?"

There was a rustling in the house. Leopold sighed.

"Hello? My name is John," said Leopold, "I learned recently about certain kids in the city who are experiments. I want to help them, if they exist."

"I'll find a family for you," Leopold finished.

The door creaked open Leopold sniled down at her. Subject Gamma.

He then shoved a tranquilizer into her arm. She collpased.

1.) Thank you so much everybody! I guess the prayers helped, because my posion ivy is almost at a zero. A few people have even said that I  almost look like myself. Ha. Ha.  (Big brothers always think they're so hilarious.)

2.) Gem, was that me in the buidling? I was a bit confused about that post. 

3.) You're so sweet unsuspectingstoryteller! (wow, that took a long time to type), I really appreciate you trying to involve me in this.

4.) Cockleburr, it's completely fine. I haven't been on the Inkwell for very long (so its really my fault) I guess I was too absorbed in Kyngdom. But you somehow still read my character! Explanation:I might be the most independent person in my family. (Sometimes my brothers will mistakenly misinterpret this as stubborness. Very annoying) So I do mostly like to do things my own way. As you can probably tell, my siblings complain about this all the time. 

5.) Is Rex going to be alright?

6.) So it's the end of the first quarter in school, things are easing up, and I will really try hard to get on more. I'm not sure exactly how I could join, maybe I could help save Gemma? Leopold sounds.... scary. 

7.) I really don't have anything more to say. That's a surprise, I know. Don't go crazy over it. So bye, be back later, and (again) don't let this thread die. 

8.) Wait! I do have something else. I just want to say..... thank you everybody! For the encouragement, for the prayers, for lollipops... Never mind, cross that last one out. But I do want to thank you. And please don't take this post seriously. I can be a bit of a joker.

ANSWERS:

1. Thank goodness!

2. The post where Gem knocks someone out/jumps off a cliff and lands in a headstand was deemed too OP, so we ignored it. Sorry!

5. Yeah, probably.

6. Sure!

OTHER ANSWERS:

1. Oh good! About the big brother thing I totally understand.

5. Rex will probably suffer and be in critical condition long enough to get a good reaction out of Saana, then recover.

And, just a comment – I'm really happy Leopold is in this because none of us seems to be able to write a true villain. Ours are all sympathetic villains who aren't entirely bad. Leopold is evil to the core, and that's a great thing here.

~Gem

"Hello, is anyone here?" A male voice calls out, I scramble away from the door. "Hello, my name is John, I learned recently about certain kids in the city who are experiments, I want to help them, if they exist. I'll find a family for you." As I inch closer to the door I wonder how he knew I was here. But the thought of... not living with Mom.... I opened the door the tiniest bit. I stared at the man. He looked, familier somehow. I narrowed my eyes, searching him. He makes a sudden move, shoving somthing into my arm. The world goes black.

Zeus, you are so right. On both the big brother thing and the Leopold thing. I mean, I'm glad that we want to have redeemable villians, but superheroes never make a huge difference by putting secretly sweet-hearted bad guys in jail. Quite the opposite effect actually. 

On the story: I really want to post, but I'm not sure where to begin. Can Leopold describe where he's taking Gem (a scret lab maybe?) so I know where the vigilantes are going to be? Thanks!

Starbringer, I have an older brother, I totally feel your pain there...

On the villains: I've been trying since the beginning for something between Rex and Saana. I still don't know what Shaia and Skylar are doing. I kind of hope they don't redeem themselves at all.

Well, I have no big brothers, just one younger brother, but I get it. :) Glad you're back! I like the little emoji thing over your name, Starbringer! 

I shall try to post as soon as I can. I really like how this story is going! Keep up the great work, everyone!

Oops, Starbringer, I didn't mean I didn't know your character, like, you personaly. I meant I didn't know your charrie well enough! I try to get a really good understanding of people's charries before I write, because my writing style has a lot of dialogue, as you may have noticed. I hope it's not boring!

Zandibar~

We climb out of the canyon and start to run down the street towards headquarters. Rex floats creeplily overhead, like some sort of weird vulture. A vulture with a blond crew cut. I try to keep from laughing. What is it with me tonight?

We race up to the front door and I try the knob. Unlocked. Uh oh. Panic starts to rise in my chest. I throw the door open and peer inside. I don't see her. 

"Gem? Gem?" I shout desperately. Nobody answers. She's gone.

"Is that what I think it is?" Saana asks, pointing to something on the floor. Little red dropplets.

Will picks some up on her finger and sniffs.

"Blood," she announces, "still fairly fresh. They can't have gone far." She slowly lowers Rex onto the couch.

"Ok, Saana, stay here with Rex. No offence, but you aren't going to be incredibly helpful with your arm like that. Will'o'wisp and I will track down Gem. Maybe you should call the hospital," I say, taking charge. Saana rolls her eyes.

"Call the hospital? Are you crazy, Skylock!? Rex is a wanted criminal and so am I! They aren't going to let us skip happily away after they heal us! They'll lock us up. I don't intend to go back to jail," she informs me.

"So sorry, Saana, but jail's where you're going. Just call the hospital and get it over with. They won't kick you out until Rex is better," I growl at her. Any friendship we felt after Will saved us is gone. I feel a twinge of sorrow, but shove it away. I'm a vigilante. I can't let emotions get in the way of justice. Saana has done some terrible things. She's a villian. She deserves to be locked up. But I can't shake the feeling that if either of us had made different choices in our lives... we would be friends.

Saana glares at me a moment more, then plops down on the floor next to Rex's couch.

Will and I lock the door behind us, then run into the city.

I'm really sorry I didn't post Wednesday or earlier this weekend. I didn't have school Wednesday but my mom got super strict suddenly and wouldn't let me do much posting, Friday I had a sleepover at my friends house after school, and then we had some family friends over at our house over night who have just left. Anyways:

Saana~

The door slams shut behind the vigilantes, and I am left alone with Rex. A strange feeling makes it's way into my head. Almost... sadness? It seems to me that Zandi and I could have been great friends if other things hadn't... intervened. 

I shake myself. It was a stupid thought - I laughed with her just one time. Right? Right?

But deep down I feel tired. Tired of running all my life, of being a villain. I wanted just for a moment to be just a normal person, who never needs to worry about where it's safe to stay, or where they can get their next meal. I'm just a normal person with a messed up life. But it's no use. People around here recognize me. They know that I'm a wanted person. And the only places I have to go are jail, and out. And there's no way that now, with a broken arm, I could survive in the streets.

Suddenly Rex's eyes twitch. I gasp desperately, hoping that he'll survive. My mind wanders back to what he said earlier. Do you care? 

Do I care? Of course I care, and now that I may be about to lose Rex, I'm just realizing how much I care. I feel for a pulse. His breathing is shallow and his pulse weak. "Come on, come on, come on..."  I mutter, a note of panic creeping into my voice. Tears prick my eyes and my breath comes in heavy gasps, which turn to sobs. 

Then he wakes.

~~~

And, once again I cannot post until Friday, but feel free to make stuff happen to my charrie. I might actually be able to post later tonight!
