"I just had a thought!" Pan floated by Micah, just a few inches above the ground. "You should try to play at one of the parties here at some point. It would be brilliant!" Oh, he was sure that Micah would protest, but hopefully it would help his self worth a bit too. Pan was dressed in simple black dress pants with a dark red dress shirt tucked into it. No jacket, he really hadn't seen the point with his rather limited funds, but he was wearing an emerald green butterfly. He had fallen for it instantly when he went shopping, and simply had to get it. Noticing that Veronica had entered, he quickly waved at her, before gently nudging Micah in the side with his elbow, sending him his normal grin. "So, any plans?" He could come up with something, of course, but he had talked Micah into coming, so it wouldn't be fair to just abandon him. Besides, he enjoyed spending time with his roommate!

Theme: Shakedown - The Score Alternate Identity: Cassidy Collins (Secret) Birthplace: Southside, Freedom City Residence: Southside, Freedom City Base of Operations: Freedom City & Magic Mesa Occupation: Grocery store stocker Affiliations: Magic Mesa Family: John Collins (father, grocery store manager), Pearl Collins (née Hart, mother, dance studio teacher), William 'Billy' Collins (16 years younger brother, student), Benjamin "Uncle Ben" Collins (paternal uncle, unemployed) Description: Age: 26 (DoB: June 5th, 1992) Gender: Male Ethnicity: Caucasian Height: 5'10'' Weight: 175 lbs. Eyes: Blue Hair: Black Cassidy stands at 5'10'' with an athletic build. He has short black hair and a full beard. He is average looking, never tending to stand out in crowds. He usually dresses casually in jeans and t-shirts, wearing a denim jacket if necessary. He tends to wear dark red or grey colors. As the Dust Devil II, Cassidy wears grey pants and black shoes. He wears a dark grey shirts with white patterns across the torso and lower arms, as seen in the picture below, wearing black gloves on his hands. He wears a grey bandana as a mask that hides his upper face. History: Cassidy Collins grew up as an average boy from Freedom City's Southside district. A slacker at heart, he never amounted to much, rarely having any motion or drive beyond just getting through the day so he could read comics, play games or hang out with his friends. He didn't excel at school, he only did a little sports if it was a game with friends or something that he had to do, and his parents John and Pearl grew to accept that he would most likely never amount to much. He was trusting of everyone, to the point of being naïve, which would often get him into trouble. Cassidy's parents blamed the influence of his beloved uncle Benjamin Collins, a conman that moved in and out of the prison system. At least some of it changed when Cassidy's brother William was born a few months after Cassidy turned 16. Immediately taking a shine to his baby brother, Cassidy would spend hours playing with and doting on his brother. Graduating from high school, Cassidy even went through a series of jobs to help support his somewhat struggling family, though he would never be able to hold a job for long. He just didn't show the interest in the work or he would be caught slacking off. Still, Cassidy's uncle Ben would show up to help him from time to time, whether it was finding him a new job or offer moral support. Eventually, Cassidy moved into his own place, a tiny one room apartment in Southside, though he would still make frequent visits to his family. Cassidy's life would change drastically when he lost his latest job. Declining his father's offer to come work in the grocery store that he managed, Cassidy instead accepted to come work with uncle Ben. Unfortunately, uncle Ben was an even worse influence than Pearl and John had feared. A short while later, they went on a road trip to meet with one of uncle Ben's clients in the American South West. Cassidy believed that he was simple coming along to keep his uncle company and occasionally carry heavy cases of equipment. Cassidy thought it was strange that they had to drive all the way out in the desert to do the trade, but uncle Ben would have to know best. After all, he was his uncle, and Cassidy had never had a reason not to trust him. Out in the desert, Cassidy accidentally opened one of the cases and discovered its contents: Alien weaponry, stolen wreckage from the 2018 Terminus invasion. Cassidy panicked, alerting uncle Ben's buyers to his presence. With a single "Sorry" and explanation that it was simply business, uncle Ben shot Cassidy three times in the chest. As Cassidy fell over, his uncle Ben returned to his buyers. Hours later, Cassidy opened his eyes. It was a miracle that he still lived. Only, he didn't. He could no longer feel his heart beating. Uncle Ben and his buyers had disappeared, and vultures were circling overhead. He knew that he was now in the Magic Mesa, and he knew that it had brought him back to become its new guardian, as the newest Dust Devil. Cassidy had little choice in the matter, and at first, he simply wanted to give up. He had been betrayed and killed. Even with the new powers he instinctively knew he possessed, he was the wrong man for the job. Then he realized that uncle Ben might come from the rest of his family. Reacting by instinct, Cassidy travelled through the sand for the first time, returning to Southside. Shocked at his newfound abilities, he accepted his charge. While he returned to his parents, he kept the details of the falling out with uncle Ben to himself, instead simply saying that he was dangerous and they should stay away from them, while he also accepted a job as stocker in his father's grocery store. Now, Cassidy finds himself driven to fight evil where he finds it. He feels a passion and drive unlike any before, as he steps into the role of the Dust Devil, not just to protect the Magic Mesa and his family, but to make sure what happened to him happens to no one else. Personality & Motivation: Before his transformation into the Dust Devil, Cassidy was a slacker. He made his way through school without much effort or accomplishment, which informed his attitude to most of everything in his life. Cassidy were trusting of others, often being called naïve. Never really getting excited about anything or trying to get involved, Cassidy just followed along with what others told him. The only exception were his family. Caring deeply for his much younger brother, Cassidy would do anything for him and his parents. He secretly felt ashamed of his lack of drive and initiative, but never shared it with anyone. After becoming the Dust Devil, Cassidy has become a much more driven individual. While he has lost much of his unconditional trust in others, Cassidy has leaned into the role of a hero, now being more than willing to put himself in harm's way to save others, and actively seeking out injustice to fight and wrongs to right. He rarely speaks much, letting his actions speak for him instead. He is troubled about his ressurection and what it means for him, and just what he has become. Cassidy is not fully sure what the Magic Mesa wants with him, and wonders what will happen if there is ever a conflict between himself and the Magic Mesa. Powers & Tactics: Cassidy's power was granted by the Magic Mesa, making them magical in nature. He prefers to get up close and personal, where his strength can be used to effectively disable his opponents. He trusts in his great durability to protect him against most attacks, leading to him often trying to protect others. Not above dirty tricks, he will turn to sand to seemingly disappear and strike at his opponent without them knowing what hit them. Power Descriptions: All of Cassidy's powers come from the magic of the Magic Mesa. Appointed as the Mesa' newest Dust Devil, Cassidy has become a being of living sand. Like the previous Dust Devil, Cassidy cannot be killed and he requires no rest or sustenance, and while he has yet to see the signs, he has stopped aging. He is incredibly resilient to damage, being able to shrug off most attacks and being unaffected by most kinds of poison and diseases. He posses incredible strength, only just learning the limits to his power. He can sense magic around him, just getting a feeling that there is something weird going on, though he has yet to explore this ability. While Cassidy's body normally appears fully human, he is able to to reshape it in various ways. He can become a cloud of sand, allowing himself to move freely through small cracks and become immune to most types of physical damage, or he can merge with sand around him, using it as a medium for travelling great distances. This is even possible if the sand at his location and destination is not directly connected. By manipulating the sand in his body, Cassidy is able to fly at roughly 25 mph. With Cassidy's mastery of his new body and abilities having grown, the disconnect that let to him creating weapons out of sand has disappeared, and he is now able to directly reshape his body into various weapons and extending his reach, or directly shoot sand out of his body in various forms, whether as quick blasts of hardened sand or longer storm effects that can push enemies back, without the need for creating fake weapons out of sand to do the work for him. Starting to tap into the mystic side of his abilities, he can create wide ranging sandstorms around him that only affects those that he wants, and can use the temporal abilities of the Magic Mesa to rapidly dehydrate enemies around them, making them easier to hurt. All of Cassidy's powers has the Magic and Sand descriptors, with some having additional descriptors as noted. Complications: Dead Like Me: Cassidy died. Then he came back. The experience was traumatic, and he has yet to deal with all his feelings on the matter. The experience has changed him greatly, even as he tries to put on a brave face for his family. Guardian of Magic Mesa: Cassidy's powers come with a price. While not as strictly bound as the first Dust Devil, he must protect the Magic Mesa if needed, forcefully being drawn to its protection. This can both mean direct threats at the Magic Mesa, as well as more indirect threats, such as those whose actions could simply threaten the gateways between worlds. This can lead to Cassidy becoming involved in situations and battles he would rather have avoided, or being forced to abruptly leave his current location. Dust Devil Legacy: The Dust Devil is an almost mythic figure. The protector of Magic Mesa, he is a ruthless guardian. Those that know of the first Dust Devil can be predisposed towards Cassidy, for good or bad. Whatever Happened to the Dust Devil: The old Dust Devil is gone, and Cassidy has taken his place as guardian of Magic Mesa. He doesn't know whether the first Dust Devil moved on, died or was otherwise rendered unable to fulfill his duties. Betrayed: Cassidy was betrayed and killed by his own uncle. He understandably has some trouble fully trusting others. Man of Sand: While he is able to become human, Cassidy is essentially a being of living sand. He is starting to grasp the implications of just what his powers mean, and he fears that he is no longer considered human. He might react badly if confronted with this fact. Dutiful Brother & Son: Cassidy cares deeply for his parents and younger brother. They're both a strength and a weakness. Desperado: Cassidy tries to keep his identity as the Dust Devil a secret. Not even his parents and brother know his secret, which is starting to create some friction.

Catchphrase: "Just trust me!" Theme: Storytime - Nightwish / Fly - Blind Guardian Alternate Identity: Pan (Secret), Pan Barrie (Secret, Earth identity) Birthplace: Neverworld. Residence: Claremont Academy, Freedom City. Base of Operations: Claremont Academy, Freedom City. Occupation: Student at Claremont Academy. Affiliations: Claremont Academy, Blue Squad. Family: None known. DESCRIPTION Age: Unknown. Claims to be 16. (DoB: Unknown, legally listed as 2002 on Earth) Apparant age: 16 Gender: Male Ethnicity: Alien, from Neverworld. Appears Caucasian. Height: 5’10’’ Weight: 170 lbs. Eyes: Green. Hair: Dark red. Pan is an attractive young man with messy dark red hair and green eyes. He has an athletic build, which he doesn’t mind showing with mostly form fitting clothing. Pan prefers green, white and red clothing, rarely wearing any dark colors. He almost always seem to be smiling. In uniform, Pan wears a pair of green dark green pants, with green boots in the same dark green nuance. The boots have white piping that separate them from the pants, as well as a white stripe above the ankle and white soles. On his upper body, Pan wears a red t-shirt with a logo at a white heart interconnected with an infinity symbol on his chest. He wears an emerald green jacket over the t-shirt. The jacket is left open, with what appears as a thick white elongated square shape, revealing the interconnected heart and infinity symbol on the t-shirt. The jacket has white piping details in three strips on his shoulders and around his elbows, with thick white cuffs at his wrists. Pan wears an emerald green domino mask in the same color as his mask. HISTORY In Neverworld, adventure and action rule. Swashbuckling heroes chase heinous villains across the seas in flying airships, pixies guide adventures in search of treasures haunted by ghosts in the machine. The Lost Heroes chase the being known only as the Crocodile across the endless ocean, hoping that it will one day fulfil its destiny and defeat The Hooked Man for good. Pan was born into this world. Raised by pixies, he never knew his parents. Always believing they abandoned him, Pan quickly came to resent most adults. Aided by the pixies, he performed daring heists into the bustling cities of Neverworld to gather food or just play pranks, and Pan became something of a myth: A never aging trickster that would disappear into the night. Eventually, the Lost Heroes happened upon the city that Pan had decided to visit. Hearing the rumors of the mysterious Forever Boy, they set a trap, and managed to capture him. Feeling pity for the boy, they took him in, and through time and effort, Pan came to trust them, joining them in the quest for the Crocodile. Pan spent long travelling with the Lost Heroes, until they met the Hooked Man. A man of monstrous power, the Hooked Man defeated the Lost Heroes one by one, until he finally stood before Pan. With the strike of his blade, the Forever Boy severed the Hooked Man’s hand, which hurled into the waters below. As the Hooked Man prepared to kill Pan in retaliation, the Crocodile rose from the depths. Pan blacked out, and the next thing he knew, he woke up in Freedom City. With no way home, Pan wasted little time in exploring this strange new world. While living on the street and surviving through petty theft, he was eventually discovered while stopping a robbery with several future classmates from the Claremont Academy. Offered the choice of joining the Claremont Academy, Pan accepted, given the identity Pan Barrie. If he could not find a way home to Neverworld, he could at least try to find a new adventure. PERSONALITY & MOTIVATION Pan is a trickster, preferring to solve problems through trickery rather than brute force. He enjoys playing tricks on others, whether they are practical jokes or something more. Pan is utterly fearless, aside from one thing: The fear that he will never return home. He hides this fear behind bravado and a smile, while trying to find anyone to become his friend, rather than remain alone in this strange, new world. Despite his fears, Pan is determined to enjoy Freedom City as his newest adventure, and to aid his new home however he can, at least until he can find a way back to Neverworld. POWERS & TACTICS Pan’s powers are either an innate part of his alien nature, or a use of Pixie Dust taught to him by the pixies of Neverworld. True to his nature as a trickster, Pan prefers to disable his opponents through his various tricks, rendering them unable to fight back against him and his allies, sowing chaos and confusion on his way, making them disbelieve if what they see are even true. Pan will often act to support his allies in one way or another, from encouraging them in combat to setting up opportunities for them to strike. POWER DESCRIPTIONS Pan's powers come from one of two sources: His alien genetics as a resident of Neverworld, or his usage of magical Pixie Dust, gifted to him by the Pixies of Neverworld. Compared to humans of Earth Prime, Neverworlders posses enhanced hearing, which Pan has honed into a sort of danger sense, his senses being sharp enough to warn him of any incoming danger he can hear. All Neverworlders posses inate magic, an universal understanding that lets them understand and talk any language, whether written or spoken. Pan has further trained this ability, allowing him to read a target's surface thoughts, a sort of weak mind reading, or to filter the ability to only allow some to understand him. Even for a Neverworlder, Pan's mind is sharp, and he is able to perform mental tasks far faster than normal persons of Earth Prime. Whether through fate or chance, Pan posses incredible luck, even if this luck tends to have strange consequences for both himself and those around him. Any powers with the Pixie Dust descriptor, save for those explicitly told otherwise, tend to have a golden glow and leave behind golden glitter that disappear after a few seconds. Pixie Dust is a form of magical technology used by the Pixies of Neverworld. Anyone is able to be empowered by Pixie Dust, if it is given as a gift by the Pixies, though it might cause different effects. The only standard effect for everyone seem to be the ability to fly, though few to the same level as Pan. For Pan, the Pixie Dust has also resulted in his lack of aging, seemingly being stuck at the age of 16 forever. He is freedom and joy, and he can never be held down against his will. By manipulating the Pixie Dust that infuses his body, Pan is able to summon his uniform from nowhere, and to perform a great number of magical feats. The Pixie Dust has enhanced Pan's natural charisma to super human levels, and through training and experience, Pan has learned to form the Pixie Dust into life-like illusions and strange mists that block the sight of his enemies. He can shape the Pixie Dust into what he has dubbed Forever Weapons, creating any weapon he knows, even if he seems to prefer swords. By his very presence, he can entangle those around him in powerful emotions, or simply let his shadow roam free to grasp and bind a target. COMPLICATIONS Never is an awfully long time: While usually fearless, Pan has just one fear: That he will never be able to return to Neverworld. If Pan is affected by a Fear effect targeting his fear of never returning to Neverworld, his Fearless feat will not apply. Alternatively, if faced with a situation where he might be able to return home, it might cause him to hesitate or otherwise make the current situation worse.  Oh, the cleverness of me: Pan is a trickster, and he has trouble not taunting and otherwise aggravating his enemies. This can lead to escalation of conflict if Pan manages to aggravate the enemy enough, or Pan being attacked where he was previously ignored, making the situation worse for him. To live will be an awfully big adventure: To Pan, a life without adventure would be worse than death. He searches for adventure in any form, always having trouble sitting still, be it during classes, stakeouts or strategy meetings. This can apply in many ways, such as picking up a strange idol, pressing the tempting button with "Do not press" or flying after something the glowing light in the sky, having trouble staying focused during planning on learning, which can cause problems later on, if Pan forgets crucial information or just didn't pay attention in the first place. I'll hold you in my heart, until I can hold you in my arms: Pan is quick to find friends, and quick to trust them. He is willing to do just about anything for his friends, even if he shouldn't. Hurt his friends, and his revenge will be swift, even if it shouldn't be. If Pan's friends are hurt or in situations where they will be seriously hurt or worse if Pan or someone else doesn't help them, Pan will be spurred into action, even if the situation places Pan himself in great danger. All you need is faith, trust and a little bit of pixie dust: Pan has to actually believe in himself and his abilities for his powers to work effectively. If his faith in himself is shaken, for instance by being met with an overwhelming foe or otherwise being worn down, any of his powers with the Pixie Dust descriptor might fail when he try to use them. All children, except one, grow up: Pan has a soft spot for children, and they tend to like him in turn. While he might not outright believe everything a child will say or do, knowing all too well how mischievous a child can be, he will always believe in children, prioritizing their protection and well being. It may have been quixotic, but it was magnificent: Pan's uncanny luck tends to have strange consequences. If probability is pushed far enough in one direction, it might just decide to push back, causing improbable things to happen, like the password to a computer suddenly changing, or a piano suddenly falling from the sky.

"Oh, nice trick." Pan commented on the bottle of water that frosted over, while he opened the can with a satisfying pop and fizz. He took a quick sip from the Cola, before turning to Abigail again, still smiling brightly. She was not the first to ask about Neverworld, and he believed he had told her some on their first day here, but he was happy to do as asked. "Well, what do you want to know? It was just home to me, and quite different from here. Well, in some ways, at least." He found himself smiling up at the sky. "It always seemed like there was an adventure right around the corner, so that's pretty much like here."

Pan nodded thoughtfully at the suggestions. The burger truly sounded like a wonderful meal, that could be enjoyed in so many ways. He were already looking forward to the first Monday. It was even possible to make them for a vegetarian, from the sound of it! Simply wonderful. Not that he was quite sure what a vegetarian was, but he thought it might be rude to ask. "So, I guess marrying young is not normal here then?" He mused about it for a moment. He really wasn't sure how it was back home, if it was different at all. It was interesting, though. The part about funerals weren't as cheerful, but he decided not to comment right now. It was the life of a hero and adventurer, and it might end soon. Not that he liked the thought.

1. Where is your hero from? Emerald City, born and bred. 2. How would your hero physically describe him/herself? Is this different from how others would? About average height, with a toned body and looking good. Others might not notice Robin's relatively good shape, since she tends to wear loose clothing. 3. Does your hero have distinguishing speech characteristics or recurring mannerisms? I guess I tend to sound excited and happy. Maybe a bit too excited sometimes? 4. What is your hero's motivation? I wanna be a hero and save people! 5. What are your hero's greatest strengths and weaknesses? I'm pretty smart and good at creating gadgets and tech. I guess I'm not really experienced in the whole hero thing yet, and I might get a bit too much about how super heroes work from tv shows and cartoons. 6. What does your hero love? What does your hero hate? I love super heroes! They're just awesome! I don't really do the whole hating thing if I can help it, but bad guys that want to hurt other people, I guess. 7. How would you describe your character's mental and emotional state? I guess I'm pretty happy and positive? Everything's possible and all that! 8. What does your hero fear the most? I don't wanna end up getting anybody hurt. 9. What is your character's greatest ambition? I wanna team up with the great heroes and help save the world! 10. How does your hero feel about the state of the world and his/her place in it? Emerald City should have more heroes, but otherwise, I'm good. I'll keep looking for ways to make it better, at least. 11. Does your hero have any prejudices? How does he/she get along with others? Nope! Well, I don't like people that think they're better or more important than others, but otherwise, nope. Or bigots. So, bigoted against bigots, I guess? 12. Where do your heroes loyalties lie? In what order? Justice, doing what's right and friends & family. 13. Does your hero have a lover or partner? How do they feel about the hero now? Never really clicked with anybody yet. 14. Does your hero have a family? What is the relationship there like? It's great! My mom and dad are busy with my kid brother Mark, and he was kind of a surprise. I don't see my older brother Lucas much, but he's usually busy. My grandma Dottie figured out I'm Justice, and she's all for it, so that's great too! 15. How would the people closest to your hero describe him or her? A hero nerd. 16. Is your hero a role model? I strive to be! 17. How spiritual is your hero? Does your hero follow a relgious tradition? Mom and dad's some kind of Christian, but I'm kind of whatever. 18. Is your hero part of a team, or would he/she like to be? Why? I would love to join a hero team! 19. How does your hero feel about the place of metahumans and aliens on Earth? I love heroes, so this is all awesome! The more metahumans and aliens, the more heroes, right? 20. If you could give one piece of advice to your hero, what would it be? Slow down, take your time and learn. Not everything on tv is true.

Double post, ignore

@Ari was thinking just a solo, at least at first @Heritage already signed her up for that!

At least Venomax was reasonable, and hopefully he could be trusted to keep an eye on "Mr. Sting". To be honest, Cassidy was not sure if that was his real name, a nickname or his idea of a super villain name, but this was the Mesa, so it could all fit. He turned to Abdul instead, staring into the eyes in the smoke. He still had his one trick that could maybe effect Abdul and pull his smoke form along if necessary, but he wasn't too fond of using it, if he didn't have to. Not yet, at least. No reason to tip his hand before necessary. Let Abdul think himself untouchable. "Sounds like Sting over there ain't the Snake. I'm gonna ask just once more now: Where is the Snake?"

Anyone wants to run a thread for Justice's debut in Emerald City?

The old man was a dead end, then, and he didn't care about the rules of the Mesa and keeping it safe. Just as well, it sounded like Abdul had led him on another detour. And Abdul had screwed the old man over in some way, from the sounds of it, and now the threats were flying. Great. Caught between two crazy people now. At least Venomax was talking sense. Cassidy stuffed the leaf back into his body before putting himself in between Abdul and the old man, holding his hands up between them. "Ya know, that sounds like a great idea. How about you take this guy," he paused to motion at the old man, "and then I'll take care of Abdul?" He continued to stand between them. His body was harder than rock now, and if the old man tried anything, the blade would most likely shatter. He hoped so, at least. He didn't like all that talk of poisons.

So, the book is somewhere other books can be found, and probably close by. Kind of vague, but Pan was fine with the challenge, even if it had to be fast. Normally he would have taken his time and explored this world, but Judy was scared and in pain, and seeing her like that cut the fun out of this adventure. He was uncharacteristically silent as he flew towards the ruined statue that Ashley had wanted them to investigate. He kept low, trying not to attract too much attention, despite the shimmering glitter he left behind as he flew. "Let's start from the bottom and work our way up once we get to the statue. Even if one of us miss something the other might see it." It didn't take long to reach the statue, even as Pan let Dio kept up, and true to his word, he started flying around the ruined statue, looking for anything that might catch his eye.

GM "Oh no, we should be finished by then. The hotel has some kind of special event happening around that time, so I was told to finish some time before that." Leonardo the Langorous turned to leave, offering his arm to Jessica. He seemed confident that he had managed to get her interested. "We should hurry. The show starts soon, and we will need to get ready. A few cues that I will need you to act on and such. Nothing that should give one with your talents any trouble." Whether Jessica accepted his arm or not, he would start making his way towards the Diamond Clover Casino. He took quick steps, making his ways through the crowd with little trouble. A few minutes later they would arrive. The casino was not exactly derelict or a ruin, but it had obviously seen better days. It was an old casino, and Jessica might have heard that it had gotten new owners some time in the last year, but so far, they had spent little on renovations. The building stood only three or four stories high, most of it in dark or metallic colors. Above the entrance, a pair of surprisingly modern glass doors that stood open at the moment, hang a neon sign showing the name in bright red neon in front of a white neon clover. If she had held on to his arm, Leonardo would let go of her and motion for her to follow.

GM Leonardo the Langorous cupped his chin his hand while Jessica put on her little show. He seemed pleased, if not completely won over. "Well, there's a bit more to it than that, but you should do nicely. How would you like a job for a few hours?" His smile was slightly mischievous, but he didn't seem like he was trying to play any tricks on her. "I have been hired to put on a Halloween show at the Diamond Clover Casino. It's a bit run down, but they pay is good, and there's supposed to be quite an audience." He searched through his pockets and coat while talking, eventually smiling and holding up his index finger once he finished speaking. WIth a flourish of his right hand, he pulled a flyer out of seemingly nowhere and handed it to Jessica. It was decorated with pumpkins, bats, brooms, black cats and skeletons. The usual Halloween things. With big red fonts, made to look like blood was dripping from the letters, it proclaimed: DIAMOND CLOVER CASINO ONE NIGHT ONLY A NIGHT OF HORROR & MAGIC WITH Leonard the Langorous Leornado shook his head a bit at the last part. "Don't mind the typo at the end."

Pan continued to watch the game, as the ball flew back and forth between the two teams. As Micah took a hard fall, Pan winced. Sure, he was up in a moment, but that still had to hurt his shoulder. And he got the ball at least! So, that was probably considered a win, right? "Nice save!" he shouted from the sidelines, before getting to his feet. The game was exciting, but Pan was getting thirsty. Drifting across the sand, he reached the cooler shortly after Abigal. He remembered her from his first day at the campus, even if he hadn't run into her much since then. "Hello, Abigail. Enjoying the party?" He reached into the cooler and pulled out a can of what he had learned was called soda or pop. Really, it had a lot of different names, and there were so many kinds. They almost all tasted sweeter than any drink that Pan had tried before coming to Freedom City. He loved them, obviously.

"Shut up, Abdul." Cassidy was getting tired of this. Abdul was annoying enough on his own, and now the old man had to join in as well. At least he wasn't raving about the cosmos or being one with everything like Abdul. Venomax tried to defuse the situation, at least. With a threat of accidental poisoining. Taking a step back from the old man, Cassidy finally took his physical form again. On one side, a know it all college kid high on drugs. On the other, someone that seemed way too into poison, and a guy in a costume that also dealt in poison. He made sure to harden the sand that made up his body, just in case he tried to come close with that knife. Pulling one of the leaves from his pocket, Cassidy held it up, making sure that everyone in the cave could see it. "This is one of Abdul's leaves. Smoking it seems to be highly addictive. According to Abdul, he can see the cosmos and just about everything when high on this thing. I need to find his dealer, someone that he called the Snake." He put emphasis on the word dealer, while shooting a glance at Abdul. "You live by the Mesa." He was looking at the man now. "You know he can't be allowed to abuse it." Going for the old man's morality was a long shot, but hopefully one worth taking.

Pan fully agreed. Flying was an amazing feeling. Back on Neverworld, he had never met anyone else but pixies that could, and the airships of course, but here on Earth, it didn't seem like a rare gift. Of course, it made him less unique, but he felt he had no reason to complain. After all, it could only be more fun to fly around with others than by himself. He grinned mischievously at Micah's laughter, then made a quick exaggerated bow. "That sounds like a brilliant idea! If the name 'Peter Pan' is so famous in this world that it even rival your heroes, then I should be able to put on quite a show for them!" Oh, it sounded like he would get along just fine with Micah. Then he would just have to find that book. Having few belongings, Pan simply sat on his bed while Micah unpacked. "I don't really know much about schools. I never went to one, being raised by Pixies and all. I'm excited to see what it will be all about."

I can throw Justice in, once she gets approved.

Justice Power Level: 11 (153/164PP) Unspent Power Points: 11 Trade-Offs: Justice Armor [+3ATK / -3DC (Justice Shot), -2ATK / +2DC (Justice Kick)], Stealth Armor [+3ATK / -3DC (Justice Shot), +2DEF / -2TOU], Blaster Armor [+2ATK, -2DC (Justice Shot)] ; No Defensive In Brief: Genius tokusatsu fangirl making her dreams come true. Catchphrase: Time for justice! Theme: The Moment - Miracle of Sound ft. Karliene Alternate Identity: Robin Lynne Langley (Secret) Birthplace: Emerald City Residence: University Hill, Emerald City Base of Operations: University Hill, Emerald City Occupation: PhD Student at Emerald City University, Tech Support Affiliations: None Family: Anna (mother), Lucas (father), Lucas Jr. (2 years older brother), Mark (20 years younger brother), Dottie (paternal grandmother) Description: Age: 23 (DoB: 1997 [April 1st]) Gender: Female Ethnicity: Caucasian Height: 5'5'' Weight: 125 lbs. Eyes: Green Hair:Dark brown Robin is slender, her body honed by years of gymnastics. Her dark brown hair reaches her shoulders and is almost always worn loose. She has green eyes and wears glasses. She will usually dress casually, preferring t-shirts with prints or logos of cartoon characters, dragons and so on. As Justice, Robin tends wear casual clothes, her Justice Driver belt and a red domino mask to hide her identity. She will often combine this with a hoodie when trying to go incognito, while still being in costume. She will usually pull her hair into a pony tail. Activating the Justice driver causes her armor to appear: A dark red suit with purple-pink power lines running up the arms and down the legs from the belt buckle of the Justice Driver belt, with grey metal plating on the chest and shoulders. Her arms and legs are wrapped in dark grey and purple armor, with similar armor plating as the chest area. Her helmet has silver armor plating on the side and two small antenna on top, and a silver armor plate over her mouth, with large purple-pink one-way lenses over her eyes. Robin has also added red scarf in a brighter color to the rest of the armor. History: Robin Lynne Langley has lived in Emerald City her entire life, always wondering why she lived in the one city that didn't seem to have any super heroes at all. Still, she loved heroes of all kinds, and if she couldn't find them by staring up at the sky, she would find them in comics and on the screen. When he older brother Lucas Jr. introduced her to the world of Japanese Tokusatsu, she was sold, even going as far as starting gymnastics due to her inspiration. Growing up, she kept her dream of really seeing heroes alive, Robin eventually decided that one day, she would be a hero. Eventually enrolling at Emerald City University, she sought out any class, course or knowledge that could help her in her goal, ending up with a rather varied curriculum, only broadening her knowledge of science in particular. She was only emboldened by the appearance of the Emerald Spider. Finally, using a combination of her own funds and components made available at the university, Robin created the first version of her Justice Driver and Justice Buster, setting out into Emerald City to become a hero. Personality & Motivation: Robin is a dreamer. Anything is possible if you have the will and make your own means. Intellectually gifted and curious, she will pursue anything that strikes her fancy. A great fan of super heroes, she has been disappointed at the lack of any prominent heroes in Emerald City, which is part of her reason for deciding to become a hero herself. The other part is her great love of Japanese Tokusatsu shows, which has inspired the technology she uses. She is idealistic, usually willing to give almost anyone the benefit of doubt, but can be surprisingly ruthless in combat. Powers & Tactics: Robin will usually try and talk her opponent into surrendering at first. Otherwise, she will engage using her Justice Buster and any other gadgets she has managed to bring along. She will usually do her best to keep her distance rather than get involved in melee combat, unless she has brought gadgets designed for such an occassion. Robin will usually use her full acrobatic abilities to keep mobile. Power Descriptions: Robin posses no innate powers. All her abilities come from gymnastic skills or technology she created herself. At the moment, Robin's main inventions are the Justice Buster and the Justice Driver. The one exception to the rule is Robin's grandmother's amulet, which lets her open portals to Z-Space, and works as a power source for the Justice Driver. The Justice Buster is a slightly over sized gun, but not too large to be fired one handed. It fires bursts of kinetic energy rather than any kind of bullets. The Justice Driver is Robin's prized invention. She can cause a lightweight body armor to appear from the belt, hiding her identity, either by the voice command "Henshin" or by a code entered with her fingerprint on a special program on her phone. Robin has enhanced her design to improve her combat capabilities and flexibility, using the magic power from her grandmother's amulet as a power source for the armor. By opening portals to Z-Space, Robin is able to exchange parts of her armor by remote control, altering her capabilities. She currently has 3 armor configurations: The balanced Justice Armor, the heavily armored and powerful Blaster Armor that improves the power of the Justice Buster and the Stealth Armor, useful for infiltration. Robin has added an utility belt to the Justice Driver, letting her bring a large assortment of gadgets into the field. Complications: Fangirl: Robin is a big fan of super heroes. Meeting a famous hero can give her pause, or at worst go into complete fangirl mode. Secret Identity: Robin tries to keep her identity as Justice a secret. So far, only her grandmother Dottie knows. Family: Robin's family is generally unaware of her activities as Justice, but can all be used against her if a villain were to find out. Motormouth: Robin likes to talk. A lot. She can just keep going if she wants to, and doesn't always know when to not explain something. Superhero 101: For all her good intentions, Robin is rather new to the game, and a lot of her understanding of super heroics comes from movies and tv shows. Not all of this knowledge will necessarily translate to real life. WIP: Robin's Justice Driver is very much a work in progress. It has been known to malfunction in different ways, such as not providing the power it is supposed to. Lack of Funds: Robin isn't exactly poor, but building and maintaining her gadgets takes quite a bit of her resources. Friend In Need: If given a situation where she can stop a villain or save someone, Robin will always try to save another person first, even if it might not be the smartest action.

"Shut up." Cassidy's reply to Abdul was short and to the point. He might be telling the truth, but the man of smoke had already shown that his version of the truth was distorted at best. The bit about poisons was backed up by Venomax's introduction. Cassidy looked at him. He was not a local, that much was true. But if Abdul was telling the truth, and the old man was really the Snake, then having an ally in this might be his best option. "I'm the Dust Devil. I found the leaves in Freedom City, they're some kind of drug that has given him a small army of followers. I'm supposed to protect the Mesa, and people like him," he motioned with his head towards Abdul, before turning to the old man again, "are not supposed to be here or be travelling through the Mesa." The man of sand walked closer to the old man, until he stood right in front of him. He ignored the big woman for now. He was still sand, and so far he had found that few things could affect him like this. "I'm only going to ask once more, old man: Did you give Abdul the leaves?"

GM The man stumbled forward, he smiled brightly and stood up straight. He was probably in his late 60'es, but he could pass for someone younger, and was quite handsome now that he smiled. "Oh, I found you! Finally!" As he got a closer look at Jessica, the smile faded and his shoulders fell again. "Sorry to bother you, Miss, I thought you were someone else." He sighed and wiped his forehead with his handkerchief. "You see, I am a magician of some renown, and my assistant has run off. She wears makeup quite like your own." He paused and looked at Jessica with an appraising eye, admiring her makeup. "A different shade, perhaps. And yours seem to be applied much better." He stopped himself, shaking his head. "Oh, where are my manners. I am Leonardo the Langorous!" He paused. It was if a lightbulb had been lit. His smile brightened, and it was clear that he was trying to put on his best attempt at charm. "Say... would you happen to know anything about stage magic?" His idea should be clear.

OOC for this

GM October 31st, 2018, 7:30 PM The Boardwalk, Freedom City On the outside, the Boardwalk was much the same as usual, despite the day. Aside from a few pumpkins, ghosts and skeletons, the fronts of the casinos showed little of the holiday. Inside, it might be different. Posters around the Boardwalk told of special Halloween events. Escape rooms themed from horror movies. Horror movie marathons in cinemas housed inside the casinos themselves. Ghoulish deals and unholy bargains. All in the name of business. No trick or treaters appeared on the Boardwalk on this evening, aside from the few that were simply passing through. A man clad in a tuxedo stumbled through the streets. His clothes were an ill fit, probably a rental. He carried a bowler hat in his white glowed hands, occassionally grabing a napkin in his pocket to wipe the sweat from his brow. His once black hair was greying at the temples, and obviously thinning. His small black moustache was immaculate, and his pride and joy. He stumbled from passerby to passerby, quickly asking if they had seen a young woman with red skin that had left his act. He needed to find his assistant. And so, he finally saw a young woman with red skin, but perhaps not the one that he sought.

Of course Abdul didn't give a straight answer. That really would have been too much to ask for. The man of sand glared at Abdul, as much as a man of sand could. He was sounding more unhinged by now. Had the trip through the Magic Mesa scrambled his mind even further? Or was this just the effect of the leaf? Hearing the old man talking to his costumed companion, Cassidy made the decision to approach, leaving Abdul behind for now. He hadn't proved physically dangerous yet, and he would remain as sand anyway, just to be on the safe side. Since they were at the Mesa, the reputation of his predecessor should be alive. Hopefully, it would be a help. "You led him to the Mesa?" The man made of whirling sand stopped right in front of the much older man. Again, he glared as much as a being made of sand could. "Are you the one that gave him his damn leaves too?"
