Robots vs. Magicians

Chatterbox: Inkwell

Robots vs. Magicians

Robots vs. Magicians RP!

Sam: What?? You nuts? You can't run two RPs at once!

Well, I happen to be so darn bossy that my bossiness overflows and therefor can run two RPs at the sam time. Plus, RPs are just generally fun, and they take my mind off of school projects and give me something to look forward to at the end of some of my longer days. So, without further ado, the plot!

Everyone has mixed veiws on the magicians in their midst. Some say that they are "freaks" because of their talents, while others argue that they are humans, special abilities or not. But the magician world is currently in chaos because of some rising Shadow Spreaders that use their powers for evil. Meanwhile, the human and magical worlds face a big problem: robots. Developed in secret laboratories, these complex robots are taking over the world—one step at a time. Young apprentice robot-makers are having struggles of their own as well. Clearly, there are two basic teams: Robots vs. Magicians, with humans caught in the midst. But which side is good and which is bad? Both have struggles, pros, and cons. So now we come to the biggest question: which side will win? 

Name: 

Age:

Personality:

Appearance:

Human, Apprentice (robot team), or Magician?:

If Apprentice, what technologal talents?: 

If Human, what involvement in the struggles?:

If Magician, are you a Shadow Spreader or good magician?:

If Magician, what are your abilities?: 

Friends/accomplices:

Other:  

My charrie:

Name: Airi Sasaki, better known as Lunar Eclipse 

Age: 19

Personality: Airi's graceful ways and silk-smooth composure contrast starkly with her cold and controlling ways. 

Appearance: Shoulder-length thin, silky black hair, black eyes, tall, slight, graceful.

Team: Magician

Shadow Spreader?: Yes.

Abilities: Harnesses the moon's light magic and uses it to control and confuse people. If the moonlight can reach them and Lunar Eclipse is using her powers, anyone's minds can be confused by her.

Friends/accomplices: As far as other charries goes, this will be decided :) she has people working with her as Shadow Spreaders though.

Isobel (aka Shadow)~
I sit alone at a little corner table in a cafe, running over the events of  last night.   And now somehow the stupid Dawn Granters have found out.  At least I didn't have to give Airi the bad news.  I smirked.  Kyla got that job.  Just then, my tablet buzzes.  I pull it out.  Ice Queen.  Kyla's voice comes through.  "Hey.  So I informed Lunar Eclipse of the setback."  "Yeah?  How'd she take it?".  "All right." "Good.  What are we going to do?"  "Plan B.". " What?" Any trace of a grin was wiped of my face.  "Are you sure?" "Definitely.".  " Okay, well, I'll see you then." I hung up, staring at the table.  Plan B....
~~~~~
Trissi~
Luis's hands fly, her face screwed up in concentration.  Finally, she turns to me. "All right, I think we have things settled. ". " Umm.. So who's she?" I ask, gesturing to the girl. "Oh, she's a girl I was supposed to find.  For the Dawn Granters." She added, seeing my inquiring look.  "So, as I was about to say earlier, would you like to travel with us? At least for a little way?"  "Well," I hesitated for a moment, then, "Sure.". " Kay, then, we should probably get going. "   She turned to the deaf girl and made a few gestures.  The girl nodded, and came over to join us. "Oh yeah, Trissi, this is Kira." I waved, and she smiled back.
~Later~
We walked through the streets of the city, passing several humans and a few magicians.  A group of magicians, obviously Dawn Granters, hurried past us, whispering anxiously.  I caught a few snatches as they went by: "Quarrel-" "Yesterday night-" "Shadow Spreaders-".  I looked at Luis to see if she'd heard.  From the look on her face, she had.  " Tell her about it." I said, nodding towards Kira, "I'll be right back.". I hurried after the Dawn Granters " What happened?".   "They say Quarrel's in the possession of the Shadow Spreaders.  Mind control." He adds, seeing my momentary confusion.  I hurry back to the girls.  "What's the news?" Luis asks.  "Not good.  A lot of rumors." "Like what?" Luis snaps, losing patience.   "Shadow Spreaders have control of Quarrel's mind." "Oh, no." she sighed.  "Lunar Eclipse."  I mutter.  "What's that?" Luis asks.  "Nothing."   "No, you're right.  That sounds like her work." Meanwhile, we'd drawn off the road into the shadows, and were conversing in low voices.  We fell silent as a girl walked past.  She stopped in the middle of the road, looking around.  "Come out." She called.

Since this is in a futuristic world, people have grown more harsh towards those who are different, like magicians. 

 

Airi~

My days are full of emptiness. This, like every other, is no different. after  walking to my favorite coffee shop, my mind still whirling with new plans, I sit outside at cold iron table,watching the wind whirl the umbrella affixed to it around and around. The customers going in and out of the shop make me hungry—for more than just food. I have to fight the anger rising in my chest. No one will give a young Japanese magician a good job. Especially since I never even finished high school. By then, I had more important things to worry about. Suddenly, a resounding crash wrenches me from my thoughts. Several people scream. Whirling around, I see the biggest robot I have ever seen charging out of the alleyway. Its wide, strong shoulders bang against the buildings on either side of the tight fitting alley. Windows and parts of buildings crumble where steel meets stone. Something is wrong with this robot. Maybe I can tell because its eyes are electric red, or because it is oversized and inhumanly strong. The phrase from the newspaper article flutters across my mind: "haywire robots." Pushing back my chair, I turn in the other direction and run. Quarrel would say that it is my duty to protect the world using my special powers. I owe the humans no protection. What have they ever done to me? Besides, what effect could my moonlight powers have on a massive robot with a death wish? I look over my shoulder as the gleaming silver robot bowls over the table I was just at. I can see the gears at his limbs turning and grinding. Then it stares right at me.

"Target indentified" says a computerized voice in his head. I run faster.

Forgot to mention in the charrie sheet that Airi is from Japan. *High fives Hamilton* Immigrants, we get the job done

Dakota~

I was thrown out of a factory a year ago, after they decided that androids were simply "too human" to develop any more of. People would get uncomfortable, they said, if there were androids being processed and walking around. Wouldn't kicking the few that were already created make humans uncomfortable? It was an illogical course of action.

"Excuse me," I said, running down the street. "Pardon me. I hope you're all right, ma'am . . . my apologies, there's an emergency . . . "

I can still see the hulking being in the distance. It is good that my android body is unable to tire, for any human would have halted a long time ago. I finally shove my way through the last of the crowd to find that the robot has stopped and is aiming at a bystander.

With superhuman strength I leap on top of the robot, tearing out the control panel and shutting it down. I climb off the being and apologize to the woman, who is looking murderous. "I am very sorry. This robot needed more responsibility. I promise it will be disposed of."

"You just jumped on top of the robot," she says cheerfully. I am surprised, or as suprised as one emotionless can be: she does not sound shocked, merely curious.

"Yes," I reply. "I am an android."

"And your name is?"

"I call myself Dakota."

She smiled, and I find it different from other, human smiles, but I am unable to identify how. "It's very nice to meet you, Dakota."

I'm thinking Lunar Eclipse is interested in recruiting Dakota to the Shadow Spreaders? If I controlled your charrie too much, Rose bud, you can change anything you'd like.

Sorry this is short. I'm ready to go read my Keepers of the Lost Cities book :P

Airi~

"It is very nice to meet you," I say, doing my best to smile beguilingly.

"We aren't that different you know," I muse out loud for the benefit of Dakota, "a robot and a magician..." I trail off as my acting becomes real. We really aren't that different. Dakota looks up at me, suprised. My heart stops. He looks exactly like...no!I won't think of him. Not now...

I breath in as I enter my workspace. A haze of new parts, half finished inventions, old ideas, and inspiration fills my mind. First things first. I search the web, looking for signs of the Shadow spreaders. The terrifying vision still plays fresh in my mind. The rays of magic aim at me. My brother lunges forward, protecting me from the leather blow. I stare in disbelief as he crumples from the impact, collapsing on the ground. Fear turns to rage, and I charge at the evil magicians, full of fury and ready to attack. But they simply wave a hand and disappear in the fog of the midnight, leaving me gasping out sobs for my brother. I frown and shake the memories from my mind. Focus! An article pops up, the alarming headlines taking a moment to register. QUARREL SOUL MIND CONTROLLED BY SHADOW SPREADERS! My eyes widen and scan the page, absorbing the information. Sounds exactly like what they would do. "I'm coming to find you Karen and Caleb Endony. I'm coming to get my revenge." 
~Lai
I sigh as I glance one more time at the shimmering waterfall. "M-mom? Dad?" I tentatively call out. No reply. "I k-know you're here somewhere... I'm sorry." And then I turn away, away from the shadows, into the light. I have a duty to preform. Protecting the people is my job. I will continue as a Dawn Granter.

Continuation...

Airi~

The memories hit my mind hard as they break through the wall they had been hidden behind for two years. I can feel his hand on mine; see his electric blue eyes staring into my own and the breeze ruffle his black hair. The smell of honeysuckle is thick in the air...the moon is a sliver; the night black but starry. I remember noticing every detail around me; my brain half panicking as he bends down next to me, his face so close and...

Trying to keep myself from screaming, I close my eyes in pain. All magicians with mind powers have inhanced dreams, and their memories are sharper and clearer than anyone elses. Burying my face in my hands, I force back tears. I'm stronger than this. I'm stronger...

"Are you all right?" Dakota asks, his hand awkwardly on my shoulder. For a second, I almost tell him everything, but then I compose myself.

"You just...reminded me of someone," I state. Suddenly I hear another crashing noise behind us.

"Yet another robot?" Dakota asks, looking puzzled, "These sentinals are going out of control!" Looking up, I see not one, but two robots coming towards us. Target identified, the first robot had said before Dakota surpised him from behind.

"They're after me," I realize out loud. But...why?

I stare at my screen as the young Japenese Shadow Spreader's face pops up. My robots are traking her?!! "Ugh!" I bang my head gainst the wall. Slowly, I press the button. Shut down. I click open my web brower. E-N-D-O-N-Y. Surprisingly, something pops up. LAI ENDONY, YOUNGEST DAWN GRANTER IN HISTORY. I sigh. I'm not looking for Dawn Granters, I'm looking for the two evil Shadow Spreaders that ruined my life. Then I take a closer look at the picture. Wait a minute.....

Wait. So, is Quarell Soul (I think that's his name) mind controlled or not? Because in the Shadow Spreaders' posts, he isn't and there's this 'Plan B', but in the other posts, he's been mind-controlled. I'm so sorry I'm not posting! But I dont' really know what to post.

He was and is under the control of the Shadow Spreaders. The plan was to control him secretly and take down the Dawn Granters from the inside, but they were found out.
