We Could Be Heroes - A Jump In Hero RP

(Haha, lol. Poor guy. The tardigrade is actually pretty impressive. Small and invincible. XD He seems like a real decent guy. :3 I look forwards to getting to know him.)

(It's alright! I'm not exactly innocent of vanishing myself lol)
(I'll post in the morning)

(So. I have a question. A theoretical question. You all know that Pip can grow and shrink things. When she grows things, do you think it'd cause the particles to multiply or enlargen? For example; a crumb of bread. Pip grows it to the size of a loaf. Are there more nutrients, or the same amount of nutrients? More nutrients means the particles are multiplying. The same amount means the particles just bloat up, creating no extra nutrients.)
(In the future, I may or may not apply a subtle affect of age on the items she affects. For example, if she enlarges bread too often, it will mold faster. Or the possibility to shrink wounds. I might be stretching it though. She already has so much she can do. XD)

"Dealing with criminals and other unpleasant things on the side is a good way to earn favors," Alex explained to Masaki. He got up from the table and inspected the rows of hard drives, removing one that had a red blinking light instead of a steady green light. "Instead of receiving cash or simple thanks for my work, I just ask for the equipment I need for my own mission." He grabbed a small screwdriver kit from another nearby table before sitting back down at the monitors. He gently pushed the keyboard out of his way and set down the screwdriver kit and hard drive. "Speaking of, it feels like the world has gotten more dangerous as of late. I may not remember much from before...well, this-" he gestured to his arms- "But I don't think crime was as high as it is now..." Alex pressed a small yellow button on the screwdriver kit, flipping open the lid and raising up several different types of screwdriver bits.

He grabbed a small screwdriver, snapping on one of the bits and beginning to open up the malfunctioning hard drive. He looked up momentarily from his work and looked around the room, finally noticing that Pip was gone. "Wait, where'd the kid go?"

"We were worried, Pip."

Pip's expression softened just a little and her heart tugged at the words. They were worried? She clasped her hands together and smiled. It only seemed to confirm that she had made the right choice. She turned around, trying to act nonchalant, but completely failing to hide her beaming smile. "Y'didn't think I'd'ah run off on ya, now did'ya? A girl needs her privacy sometimes, y'know? But..." She paused, looking at them with a cute little smile before turning away and crossing her arms. "Since you was so worried, I might mention something next time." Getting to know Alex and Masaki had started off on some bad impressions, but as time went on, she found herself appreciating them more and more. Woe the day they turn their backs on her, but there was no doubt in Pip's mind that they would ever betray her.

(Merry Christmas! I had so many plans, but I only got one picture done!)


(I had one idea where Masaki, Alex and Pip were dressed in Santa suits, flying through the air with an explosion behind them. Presents were raining down around them. Why? I don't know. XD)
(There was another where Ollie was walking along in a Santa suit, placing Christmas presents under trees. Styx followed after, taking the presents and opening them. Every Christmas tree she passed was left dark.)
(Then I had the idea to draw a page for Pip. A page for Masaki. A page for Alex. Each of which representing how they interact with their younger self. XD)
(Did any of these ideas get done? No. Just brief paper sketches.)

(Merry Christmas! Awesome art, Light! I'll try to reply tomorrow, today sorta tired me out haha)

Alex chuckled and shifted his attention back to the hard drive. He fiddled with the circuitry for a moment longer before closing it back up and plugging it back in to the row of other hard drives, this time with a steady green light instead of a blinking red one. He double checked the progress bar on the screen as he put away his screwdriver kit. "Well, this data is going to take a few hours minimum to process, so it looks like we have some time on our hands..." 

(I'm good with whatever you two decide!)

(Not at all. XD You're not intruding.)
(We are in a city. I personally don't use a name, but at one time it was called: Capital City, Georgia, United States. There is a hero group forming to rise against a supposed great evil- though I might need to double check with some people to see if there's any changes. Then we have a small trio who are uncovering secrets and stuff. XD I have a bunch of loose-end characters that you can role-play with if you'd like. I have a sleeping biological android who needs a powersource. I have a whacky man who is still finding his part in this world- he is also at the centre of an experimental plot, which he is oblivious to. I have a lazy guy with lots of money. I have a healer for the shady and underprivileged, though her methods hurt a lot, so people won't go to her for just anything- she'll take what she can get for her services: favours, money, important items. Then I have an ex gang member who's just floating through life now, taking what he needs with his illusionary abilities. Last but not least, is Supernova, an overpowered gravity hero who is full of himself. Let me know if you need more details.)

(Maybe we should revamp this place sometime... If anyone's interested, I'll ask the leader about it.)

(Sweet! ^^)
(It can be whatever you want it to be. There have been crazy villains, and there have been sneaky ones. We are all over the place, lol. I’ll be going to work soon, but I’ll get back when I can.)
(The healer’s name is Isa. Her shop is a small building on a shady sort of street. Though she does walk around so they could meet somewhere on the street as well. Her touch inflicts pain, but also triggers healing factors. The more pain she causes, the healthier the victim becomes. It was a weird idea. XD So technically, she cannot physically harm someone with her fists, but it is slightly possible she can knock them out with sheer pain.)

(I'm going to be retconning my character a bit so he's hopefully not as one note as before. Right now he's going to be trying gather information and is trying to track something down. He's also likely to try and gather his own little crew that exists out of the whole hero-villain dichotomy)

A man walked down the street in a more dangerous part of the city. With his multiple piercings, black painted nails, and dark red eyes he stood out from the crown around him. He walked slowly and carefully - as if he was trying his best to take in his surroundings. Despite this the man seemed completely at ease - as if he had spent a lot of time here before.

Naga looked around at the storefronts that surrounded him. It had been two and a half years since he had last stepped foot in this city and he was steeped in nostalgia and was noting all the slight changes in the city around him. As he walked along he remembered why he had left the city in the first place.

Naga had spent a good amount of time embedded in the city's undergound. He had ran around the place acting like he was some kind of hotshot - recklessly getting into fights with heroes and villains alike in his quest for vengeance. But as he got pulled deeper and deeper into the darkness of the city he realized he didn't have the power necessary to keep going down the path he had decided to travel. And so he left the city to revisit his past and hopefully grow stronger in the process - and he had. But to do so he had severed all his remaining ties in the city he had left.

Now he was back, and his quest for vengeance could continue. But this time he would be smarter and less reckless.

As he walked down the street Naga saw that some of the shops had remained the same while others had been replaced. Out of his periphery he could see a particularly filthy looking man walking on a collision course with him. Despite this Naga made no effort to get put of the man's way. People avoided him - not the other way around. So when the man bumped into him he wasn't exactly suprised - instead he got angry. "Watch where you're going idiot! You got your eyes closed or something? Because you were walking way too damn slow to be running into me like that!" Naga conveniently ignored the fact that he too had been walking slowly and had plenty of time to react and get out of the man's way.

The man's refusal to acknowledge Naga just made him even more furious. He didn't take people ignoring him very well. To make sure he got the man's attention Naga grabbed him by the back of his shirt to keep him from walking forwards. Not particularly caring about causing a scene he said "Just gonna ignore me huh? Can't even offer me an apology?" Naga knew this was perphaps a dumb reason to cause a scene but he didn't want to appear weak. He was also probably a bit annoyed that as soon as he arrived back into the city he had to deal with a guy like this.
