Phantasm Build is he's a light manipulator. Though he has the ability to detect bio energy and using light particles replay what happened in the room. He can only get what was done last about a day in history of the place. The museum didn't have any recent activity so what was there for him to pick up was the day it closed. He relies on stealth and trickery weak on defense otherwise. Attacks are lasers generated via the light around him. If in a battle he would most lightly try to confuse people by distorting light making them see illusions. So I be throwing Stuns (Blinding flashes of light), Confusion (Making it seem as one of your allies is actually one of them) the Laser blasts miss direction. (now you see me now you don't tricks) He's quite smart really defense wise he's a normal human weaknesses IF you can find him.

Unlike Phantasm Sunstroke really not smart a hired gun. Fire defense making the air around her so hot that metal starts to melt, the light she generates making it hard to focus on her. Those kind of things as well as her plasma blasts. A true Pyro maniac who thrills at burning people and things. Weak well anything that designed to really put out fires. Unknown would have no trouble going toe to toe with her, but where the fun of me taking out my own characters LOL.

Jutan Frost I been playing as an Ice controller above ground due to him having a weakness to the heat of Egypt. Now that he's in a more climate controlled location he switched builds to the Ice Tank with super strength. To be fair he only has the Tank/super strength in his 10 foot size form. He can only use his ice control powers in human form and only with the cooling suit activate. Weakness is Heat and Fire.

Ackk crossed posts. no time now to fix. Inline USB for double teaming!

To clarify, [font=lucida bright]AIko[/font] is not trying to interfere with Kat's hacking, just trying to get her own hacking done first ^_^

In fact, if you want Aiko to go ahead and infiltrate the system first, feel free.

Kat would be searching for controls to the complex -- doors, lights, ventilators - as well as schematics showing the layout, and also any hint of the Orb or the Tome, since that's what she was sent to "acquire".

Hey guys sorry I was afk for so long. Had some company come through and then work threw up a dookie-storm that I'm not out of yet.

FYI, Luca is basically capable of creating light constructs. The filigree wand is purely a focusing instrument so he can use his chi to extend the constructs. He can use the constructs as weapons, shields, healing, etc. Because Phantasm only manipulates light, Luca would be perceptually resistant. He can also create alchemical substances such as liquid light. I'm playing him like a guardian with some staff melee tertiary.

Are we still using the terminal? I got the impression we were done with it...

Also, is the building still an antenna for us? I get the feeling we may need to talk with folks in TC...

But the Purge thread you said was after this, so, not as urgent as I though. ^_^

On a related topic, Rotten, what would the info packet Pat supplied (through the Book Wyrm), based on what Ron and Shepherd told her, about the possibility and complications of destroying an Orb?

So, not generally a good idea. [font=lucida bright]AIko[/font] will make a note to share that part of the file with Sister Flare ^_^

I just had him knocked out fully. Jutan group just a side quest to the big game and that's what ever Blue has in mind.

Much the same idea Gideon Cross had if the barrier ever went down. His big bad is called the Banished One and has an army or locus beings that when they bite a victim will eventually turn them into another locus.

The purge think kind of weakens the Barrier concept. Oh well. Guess the Purger is no threat to the Asgards the barrier for them this world just happens to be on this side of the fence.

I'm assuming Sunstroke's just too hot for Kat's ice to entrap her and smother the flames, so Kat will shift targets again.

I blame being distracted!

It's cool. I'll just delete that post and take another crack at it.

Okay guys off to work. Don't destroy the world without me.

But it's where I keep all my stuff!

Phantasm didn't join in. He using cloak to avoid being detected.

Just so there's no freakouts in OOC, Nightstrike was supposed to do that. Blue and I have been PMing about it since yesterday.

beautifully unexpected and definitely surprised me in the read! nice work you two.

btw who has the Odin orb? is it near luca/heartseeker?

Gotcha. it kept switching hands I lost track of it all.

I was tempted to do the same but didn't want to steal the significance of what Xcel was doing. I completely approve!

quite literally, and two-fold.... LOL

Alright, was originally confused about the thread thinking it was ONLY for the coffee shop. Anyway, was NOT expecting that plot twist involving Heartseeker being possessed, or Emerald's death. And for reference, Talon will be dropping off the Loki orb with the Arcane Sentinals covertly, just need to post that..or perhaps it can be taken in a different direction, manipulation of Jutan?

Anyway, looking forward to the rest of this RP, and just got the mental image of everyone singing Kuymbaya will holding onto that orb...I'll stop now! :P

And perhaps it's not just heroes who fight? Maybe a certain witch assists in the sealing? :)

More likely several witches. ^_^

To be sure I'm understanding correctly, Jutan is electing to leave without regaining his Odin Orb?

Not sure what I do with him now though. In other words... "I WILL RETURN!"

Speaking about villains. I'm nursing the idea that Unknown gives birth. Kind of a Venom/Carnage thing.

Well thinking in terms of he's absorbing a lot of energy. That needs to be converted into matter. Kind of like drinking too much water or eating too much salt. Our bodies needs it to survive but to much and you can die. Same case here he's getting over saturated with electricity and logical the extra charge would be converted into new biomass. A new life.

Of course that new life would be even more adapted to the planet than Unknown is.

How many casualties do we have? How many fit to carry them? And was there any sign of the book or the other Orb?

Also, is Syl back with the plane? In a pinch, is she capable if need be of teleporting the group out of the underground complex? If so, that would give us a little more leeway time-wise in searching for the book and the other orb.

Well before the liquid light I was thinking the spawn would have electrical powers. Caused by the electrical overload so it would have adapted to hold larger charges of energy and release it like an electric eel. On top of that it wouldn't care about human life.

Thought now supercharged via the liquid light and how that has an effect on personalities. Perhaps the new life would have empathic abilities.

[Font=lucida bright]AIko[/font] has firm opinions on the responsibilities of accidental parents.

I'm loving the new offspring, and Luca becoming the hapless new father. What could go wrong? :-D

OK, I'm somewhat confused now. Who's leaving and who's staying to look for the Tome and Orb?

[font=lucida bright]AIko[/font] is staying to look, as she doesn't need to worry about the atmosphere going bad on her.

I presume the wounded are going, as soon as a portal can be set up.

I was thinking bringing in scuba gear if needed. Digging equipment might be available as well, perhaps mine rescue gear?

Once the oxygen question is settled, we can move on to food and water.... which [font=lucida bright]AIko[/font] also doesn't need, except to top off her coolant that Sunstroke boiled off and some within a few months to replenish her deuterium supply...

It dawned on me here I have a character who went through a sex change and is now a mother! RP takes you where you never thought you would go.
