Martians and Magic

Postby Chase Ricks » Sat Nov 10, 2012 5:31 pm

Here are the simple rules.

1) No making jokes about time travel. I am very serious.

2) No one but me and my cowriters is allowed to rp as the aliens themselves or any of their human allies in the beginning and we will also control the evil Unseelies and those working beneath them. All villains named shall only be controlled by their creator on this website. If you have a question either pm me it or post it here in the forum and I shall answer it. One of my cowriters will join this website shortly.

3) If anyone is caught breaking these rules they shall be stripped of their character and be put into a probationary state for a period of one day only for the first offense, one week for the second, a month for the third and if they continue to cause a problem they shall be kindly "captured" and sent to Mars until the end of the storyline. There and while on probation, these player(s) are free to offer advice only to those on their team but their characters will not be able to have any interactions with heroes if hero or villains if a villain.

Storyline plot setting: The Martians have noticed for some time now that periodically on this planet, superpowered beings come to be amongst the bipedal creatures (humans) that are supposedly the most intelligent lifeform here. It was a rude awakening after millennium to have this race achieve the unthinkable and actually leave the planet to go into space. The Martian Queen was very upset by this and called upon her top general a hulking brute named Quasar to do something about it permanently. He did and after a few years of preparations a huge fleet descended on the planet. However at that time there was a huge multitude of heroes with super powers and the fleet was crushed in many huge battles. Quasar however had a plan. He knew that if the invasion went back in time, they would have a higher chance of both finding a way more vulnerable planet in terms of less superheroes but he might be able to recruit some more allies to help him crush the human race.

In the same time period in a similar location a fallen demigoddess of an ancient rage of long ago banished elves secretly plots her revenge on those who have nearly brought her race to the brink of destruction. She seeks allies within the stars themselves and in other realms to bring this grand desire to pass.

Against these great forces who will defend us in the time of Earth's greatest peril?

The Resistance begins

Postby Chase Ricks » Sun Nov 11, 2012 12:10 pm

It happened overnight. That was how fast they struck. While the humans slept unaware for the most part of the danger they were in, drones landed with a few cruisers in orbit. The major world capitals were the first to fall. World leaders were rounded up and taken offworld with their families. They were replaced by disguised Martians who were so well trained that by the time the third day had passed no one could tell the difference and by then it was too late.

Camps were created on earth to house the human prisoners. Any who tried to fight back or escape were simply vaporized on the spot, their broiling bodies a grim example that resistance was futile. The time of man's dominance on our planet was over and the Martian's had only begun. Too bad they were not fully aware that not all humans or other races would so easily surrender....

In Ice Ray Academy, James Starrunner awakes with the painful nausea that appears whenever he has a real premonition. "No I can't believe it, there still needs more research and development," he thinks to himself as he calls the other faculty and students together for an emergency assembly. "Our worst fears have come to pass," he tells them in a grim voice. "Mankind no longer is alone in the universe. Aliens have landed all over Earth and it is up to us and whoever we can save to stop them. Though the odds are vastly against us, your basic training in magic here has come to an end. From now on, we will train with technology as well."

Casting an ancient spell, he opens up a long hidden secret vault beneath the school. Inside are five vehicles of differing types created up from the strongest metallic alloy of iron etherium in existence. "I created these long ago in response to a dream I had as a teenager," James tells the others who not once could have dreamed anything technologically advanced like this was there all along. "Magic will be strong at first but only a few of you can be called upon to accept this great responsibility. Those who can not, there is no shame for you will help support them here at the academy."

"Damn that blasted girl..."

Morgana fumed, as she thought about the reason for the sudden enmity she was experiencing from the Court of Fae-re...

"I wonder... its been long enough since his last incarnation passed...", thought Morgana. Her nemesis was the oft re-incarnated human wizard, Merlin. "Could she be him?", wondered Morgana.

Unlike many of his previous incarnations, this one was a true child of Modern Technology, and though she appeared to know little of the Fae or of Magic itself, Morgan knew that this would not remain the case for long...if it was truly him.

"I must learn how to counter this 'technology', perhaps if I knew more about it.", she thought.

After a time, Morgana concluded that the only way she could counter the technology of Merlin's newest incarnation, for she had confirmed it was indeed Merlin's soul in this new girls' body, was with more technology... but how? Being a full member of the race of the fae, Iron and steel, which made up the bulk of "modern' technology, were anathema to her.

"Perhaps, what is needed is technology from another world, one that doesn't base its gadgets on iron and steel. These Martians who invaded a few years ago, they used other matierials for their technology, though they were unable to overcome the earth-realm heros. I wonder..."

As Morgana scried using many spells and devices, she was able to determine that these aliens had traveled a relatively short time into earth's past, taking with them a few of the best minds ever bent to evil schemes available at the time.

"This 'Baron Axel' seems to be in their good graces, and shouldn't be too hard to fool into getting me introduced to their leaders."

With this determination made, Morgana gathered the belongings that she would need, stored the remainder of her things, left orders with her few servants, and slipped through the gate to earth-realm in the location, but not the time-frame, where the good Baron would be active. She then began the ritual to move herself and her belongings to earths past.

Postby Chase Ricks » Mon Nov 12, 2012 9:12 pm

Unaware that he was about to have a guest, Baron Axel was currently trying to keep his anger under control as him and his bodyguard Peregrine Gerasimov were heading towards Washington DC for a meeting with Warlord General Quasar himself in person in their customized Ground Assault Tank (GAT). "I gave him the information to send us back in time to the year that records indicate the movie "Independence Day" came out in theatres so as to create a huge panic in the streeets. But no he didn't trust me even after we escaped from the prison we were both held in. Instead the fool brings us to the year 2001 in the months right after the United States was hit by a major terrorist attack and are currently at the highest war time alert since before the first chronicled invasion from Mars. I hope he has a very good reason or his scientists do at least because he could have ruined everything if he had landed at the wrong place in history at this time."

His bodyguard Peregrine was quite used to the Baron's angry outbursts. "Sir," he said respectfully. "Remember, they were watching this planet for centuries before we ever went into space. Clearly they saw this as the perfect time to strike due to the fact that not only was there a fool in office but because at this time there was not an actual academy or even a city for the actual usage of superheroes or superheroines in the public view. I might be wrong but at least we will not be killed on sight this time unlike last time we were attacked by heroes." He was referring to the circumstances that had brought them together. (Future post)

Suddenly a woman stepped off the curb, directly into the path of their vehicle. She arrogantly threw up her hand and disappeared for a moment as the vehicle passes through the space she occupied but a moment before... spinning in his seat, Axel notices that the woman is once again standing in the street, slowly spinning in place and moving to intercept the slowing vehicle. "Peregrine stop the tank," he said carefully and slowly as his bodyguard did so with no questions asked. "I think... we might need to bring her with us to see Quasar. Don't ask me why, the idea just popped into my mind."

As the Baron lets her into the tank, Peregrine briefly senses something odd about her. "Sir if I may be so bold, what information could a common Earth woman of this time period be able to give Warlord Quasar that you or I are not fully capable of doing so?" The woman smiled at Peregrine and suddenly he know longer remembered what his next thoughts were. "It's quite okay Mr. Gerasimov," Baron Axel said. "You and I both need to remember not everyone is who they appear to be. Even myself."

Peregrine shuddered at the memory that last phrase evoked. Oh he was quite unlikely to forget that memory indeed. Following his rise to the head of an enforcer gang for the Mafia in Russia, one night Peregrine came back from a job to see... what can even now best be described as monstrosities killing his men. He would have been ripped to shreds, so great was his fear but then an older man he knew in the Mafia suddenly appeared and led him quietly to safety. Pereregrine later learned that Baron Axel had personally picked him out because he was not known to believe in the fact, that like Axel himself, anyone too weak to survive should be left alive.

Momentarily lost in his thoughts, Peregrine felt the robotic AI bring the tank to a stop. "Before we get out, I will need to ask you as few questions," he said to the woman. "Nothing personal, but those we are about to meet do not take kindly to completely unknown people interfering in their affairs. What is your name?" The woman smiled at him. "You can call me Morgana Defang. Peregrine simply assumed the last name was a nickname. "What is your job here in Washington DC?" "I work at the Pentagon for the Bureau of Paranormal Affairs." That startled both Baron Axel and Peregrine big time but they thought they hid it without the expression changing on their faces. "Do you believe aliens actually exist?" "What one calls aliens may simply be the name of a group of travelers from a foreign country seeking asylum. No actual aliens exist, that was something the novelist HG Wells invented long ago for his story "War of the Worlds."

Peregrine relaxed. "Sir, I have a feeling she will pass their inspection quite well. If everyone now on Earth is this naive we will conquer within months at least."

While giving no outward sign at the naive remark made by the younger man, obviously a body guard or some other type of flunkie, Morgana smiled inwardly. Her plan was working perfectly. The answers she had provided perfectly matched their expectations, and the several months she had spent here establishing her cover story insured to she would be exactly the kind of minion that would do well and move up quickly in the invaders organization.

Now to follow these minions to the warlord.

Meanwhile at the academy, the students are undergoing the process of being tested to see if they have what it will takes to be the new guardians of Earth. It is an extremely simply test. A student simply passed their hand over the vehicle and if it turns on then they will have been accepted. There is not even a need to know how to operate yet because these vehicles are part metal but also part magic too in their construction parts and hidden layouts. So far though no one has been able to get one to work.

This worried the Headmaster. James could not figure out what was wrong so he did some research and discovered it was very simple. Because the vehicles were a mix of magic and technology, the students themselves would also require a teacher for technology. But where could the school find one at such short notice?

Suddenly a magical alarm sounded. "Unknown being of immense magical power has been located in Washington DC," came the mental alert as he received it by telepathy. "Being appears to have immense mental powers and has been tracked to a vehicle owned by human supporters Baron Axel and Peregrine Gerasimov. As per orders no action taken yet to follow but staying in post."

James groaned softly. Now what was going on? Magical beings working with traitors known to be allied with the aliens? He needed more specialized information fast. "Jayariel Drillowup please report to my private quarters," he sent out telepathically to the school's weapon master. In a few minutes the drow appeared. "James what's troubling you," Jayariel asked in a concerned tone of voice. "You are the expert on nonhuman magic Jayariel," James said to him. He then repeated the information the alarm sentry had sent out. "James, you are well aware that humans and I are not the only magic users oin Earth," Jayariel explained simply. "There are likely to be many that have hidden for fear of their powers being misused by humanity. I theorize this one may be looking for a way to fight back against such bias."

My rping boyfriend has given me full permission as long as I am a member here to be the only member allowed to post as his personally created female rp characters. I intend to honor his wishes this way.

Name: Corrine Daniels
Age: 16 years old, age when girls believe they know everything.
Gender: Female
Has innate magical resistance due to helping her family fend of tricky fae and sprites while as a child. Very good at what she does and so she is not to be underestimated in terms of speed and athleticism. Carries with her a special type of duct tape that once applied can not be removed except by her but at this time no idea how it will work on the aliens.

Background: Corrine's father is the Australian ambassador to the United States as well as their delegate in the United Nations. She learned all she knows about politics from him and was training to become a diplomat herself when the invasion began. Now she worries about the fate of her father.

Oberon and this advisers quickly realized that Morgana had escaped. They began questioning her servants to determine where the unseelie fae had gone. Upon questioning, Morgana's personal man-servant let slip that she had gone to earth-realm, though no sign of her had been detected there.

Having his most powerful mages use every form of scrying available, Oberon determined that Morgana had used a ritual to move herself back in time... He had also learned the reason for Morgana's escape.

Morgana had an on-going fued with the human wizard Merlin; the human, by means of re-incarnation, had been in her path, and blocked Morgana's every scheme in earth-realm for many generations.

What's more, his current incarnation was a human/fae hybrid, and a member of his own court and family. One of his sons by Titania, had, a few human generations back married and bred with a girl from earth-realm. Since the Fae have such a low birth-rate, such was not unheard of, though it was frowned upon officially.

Therefore his 'niece', Krystal, who had been living in earth-realm, had recently been made aware of the Fae side of her heretage. Strange though it may seem, this young woman now housed the wizards re-incarnated soul.

Oberon realised that he dared not interfere in this matter, and could not inform Krystal of this information.

Morgana, however, must be recaptured, and only Krystal would be able to accomplish this, as the majority of the fae cannot easily enter earth-realm.

Asking Krystal, who in earth-realm was also known as the super-heroine Acidburn, to return Morgana to the custody of the fae, Oberon supplied her with the little information that he could, the time and location that Morgana had gone to.

The only advise he felt safe in giving his 'niece': "Know Thyself... and find allies where ye may."

Posting for Chase Ricks per his request--re: equipment issues

A few days after the invasion has begun, Jayariel left to do some scouting on the drones. He hopes that due to his ability not to understand technology that he will be seen as no threat at all. Corrine insisted on accompanying him, knowing her magic would prove useful if his weapons and speed weren't enough. They planned to first observe Baron Axel, Peregrine Gerasimov and the stranger but because there is no telling how truly powerful this person is, strict defensive measures must be taken. For this reason, no magic will be used including telepathy except if no other option is left available. Jayariel has James cast an antimagic enchantment on his enchanted mask to dispel all magic from its appearance as he hopes to be able to pass as an African American.

Re: Martians and Magic

Postby Chase Ricks » Sat Nov 17, 2012 5:05 pm

A few days later...

Weaponsmaster Jayariel Drillowup and Corrine Daniels had arrived at a small town on the outskirts of Washington DC. According to reports, there was a small camp of human prisoners and it was also a chance to get more intelligence on the drones themselves. Jayariel went in first to see if they had any weaknesses while deliberately leaving his weapons and armor behind to show he was not a threat as he did his mission.

After a few hours he returned to Corrine with his findings. “The drones seem to run on metals similar to those found on Earth but without any visible power source on the outside. Electronic scanners are found on all sides and while visibly “sightless” radar acts as their eyes. I was able to confirm however that when approached by me with no weapons or body armor, there was no action taken on their part to try to capture me but merely to observe. I theorize that a rapid overload of sudden electronic energy might be enough to temporarily knock out the radar allowing me to use my scimitars to destroy one of the drones.”

Corrine understood. “So a lightning bolt or wave of magical electrostatic should work then? Okay I'm on it.” Concentrating she let loose a tiny noticeable surge of her magic into the darkened thunderclouds above and directed a bolt of lightning to hit the nearest drone several hundred meters away. The result was rather incendiary as from inside out the drone sputtered as charged bolts of lightning ran all over its surface and the lights on its body all overloaded and exploded.

“Now Jayariel,” she called and working at his combat speed he ran up from the underside of the drone running both his scimitars deeply along its sides until he reached the top. Once there he pulled them out then used his own innate magical ability to cause the armor itself to weaken noticeably. The drone however was not finished yet. Though its radar was overloaded and there were actually very few systems working still, it still had more then one plasma cannon and used these to fire as it tried to track the drow's almost blurred form as he was moving fast. Then suddenly, the drone exploded as it accidentally fired its own weapons into its energy source.

When the fires burned out, they examined the remains carefully. “Corrine what do you make of this?” Jayariel asked her, holding up what she recognized as an alien form of an Earth type computer chip though noticeably several times larger but made of a material as thin as wire but strong enough even to resist a swipe of his scimitar. “I think that might be what houses its “mind,” Corrine said thoughtfully. “However we will need an actual expert on technology to examine this.” “I agree,” Jayariel said when suddenly there was a bright blue light that appeared in front of them. They watched in amazement as a strangely clothed human woman emerged. ...

As Krystal stepped back into Earth-realm from the Gate to Fae-re, she had the feeling she was being watched... An alien drone was attempting to locate the energy-flare that the opening of the gateway had produced... As she took stock of her situation, she examined the drone from a distance.

Krystal watched as the drone ripped out a few fairly stout trees, in the process of moving through the underbrush towards the now-closed gates location. "Blasted thing is fairly strong... and its programmed to search out energy-sources, evidently..."

As Krys quietly hovered into position above the mechanical monstrosity, she searched for weaknesses. As the drone got closer, still unable to detect Krystal, she was able to get close enough to notice that the armor was only sealed against dust, not water-proofed or sheilded againt energy discharge.

Krystal gathered her power as quietly as she could, and the drone only recognized the energy-field in the second before discharge.

As the drone was spinning to face her, Krystal fried its circuitry with a massive discharge of electricity.

After pausing for a short time to examine the drones carcass, Krystal took flight for the Washington DC area, as Oberon had indicated that was where Morgana had been active once she had travelled to the past.

On the outskirts of the city, Krystal took a few moments to mentally prepare herself... she knew that she would only have one shot using this spell that Oberon had provided to move herself back into time. She decided when the best time was to attempt to catch the wiley fae and began the incantation.

As she continued she found herself surrounded by a brilliant red aura of light...

Hey Chase, here's Jaxcel

Name: Jaxcel James
Age:29
Superpowers: Jaxcel has tons of advanced tricks up his sleeve due to the mass of money he has, because of his company. This may be impressive, but Jaxcel's actual superpower is his odd strength, endurance, and near invincibility(he'd have to be completely torn apart to die). As well as this, he has a staff that is covered with veins of dark energy, that he conceals within his smart looking suit. The staff is extremely strong, but extremely weak for extremely long-range attacks. He can although, fire off waves of dark energy from the tip of the staff. After thinking money isn't enough, Mr. James has reverted to world domination, and has teamed up with the Aliens. A note that Jaxcel gets extremely distracted by women, but no worries, because as it happens, women are also extremely distracted by him.

Back in the past, aboard an invisible Martian cruiser currently hovering above The White House...

"I see you have returned safely from your scouting mission Baron Axon," a huge figure shrouded in darkness says slowly in a low guttural voice from inside the huge ship's command center. "However I am very curious as to this human female you and your bodyguard Gerasimov, Peregrine have brought with you. I was under the impression that only those who I proclaimed loyal to our cause could meet me in person after you have evaluated their... potential for evil destruction and sent me the results in the manner I first told you about."

Baron Axon gulps silently. He is well aware that if he angers Warlord Quasar he might not be his top human commander for much longer in the current invasion. "My apologies sir but this is Morgana Defang. She works here in Washington at the Pentagon for the Bureau of Paranormal Affairs in the Army division. From what she has told me and Mr Gerasimov, there is no real need to worry about anyone fighting back against any of us. Our technology is vastly superior and even then I have no reason to believe that anyone using this socalled magic would ever pose a threat to us."

Suddenly from one of the stations a report comes in transmitted in the Martian language: "General Quasar, a drone appears to have suffered an electrical malfunction. Sending image on screen now." On the ship's viewer screen what was a drone now appears in what can be seen as having been hit by a bolt of electromagnetic energy. "Axon... didn't you just assure me that we had the superior technology?" Quasar asks patiently. "Y-yes sir, but um unlike your homeworld of Mars, here energy can be formed from electrical particles forming in the storm clouds there on the screen," Baron Axon says in true fear. "This is called lightning and when it strikes the ground, it travels directly through metallic surfaces very easily I am afraid. This simply appears to have been caused by nature itself."

Superpowers: Faton was once a succesful F-1 driver for red bull, but after being driven off course into a lake by another driver, his career changed forever. Feldspar managed to get partially out of his flipped car. Because of the air bubble, his car mayed, he managed to survive. Unknown to Feldspar at the time, was that an odd magical sphere was buried 5 metres under the bottom of the lake. This orb made some of the F1 car technology, and Feldspar, fuse together. Feldspar now looks around earth looking for evil to show up. Feldspar has managed to get the powers of magnetism, and can lift large items with ease, from afar. He can also use this magnetism, as a shield. As well as magnetism, Faton can take an unbelievable amount of damage due to burnt nerves from the crash, and if hit, the attacker is also hurt(depending on how hard they hit) because of a strong layer of metal that runs just below his skin. Faton is now a very wealthy man due to his extremely succesful business. Faton also has an odd relation to Jaxcel James(but you'll have to wait to find out)

Note: before the crash, he was know as Faron Fessle, but changed his identity, so no one knew he survived the incident.

OOC:Chase, could you set a post up so I can bring Jaxcel in?

I reviewed the data for this hero to make sure he isn't too powerful. But unlike the last rps you and me were in, this is not going to have any romance in it if I can help it so that readers do not get bored.

My cowriter is new to your character style of rping so I have been discussing it with "her." We'll have it set up soon enough.
From whence I came and whence I went heaven said I was too evil and sent me to hell. Demons and devils succeeded in breaking my soul.

Ah, I never said there was going to be any romance, and I actually dislike roleplays that go days eithought action. I may have forgotten, but Mr. Faton Feldspar's speed drops, if ever so slightly, due to his carbon-fibre/titanium "shell"

Quasar's booming voice replied to the Baron's explanation. "Very well. I have no time for your new "girlfriend" right now, have her wait with the other, outside my personal office down there (pointing to the White House, pictured on screen 4).

As Morgana is escorted by the Baron to the transport, she inwardly fumes over his comment about no powerful mages, but allows nothing of it to show in her demeanor. She thinks to herself, "This techno-twinkie wouldn't know a mage if she bit him...and one of these days, dear 'Baron', I just might."

Morgana allowed herself to be escorted into the waiting area. There she noticed a young man who also appeared to be waiting for an interview with the warlord. As she scrutinizes the human, he notices her apparent interest and speaks to her.

"Staring, is hardly an appropriate welcoming, so let me show you an adequete welcoming". Jaxcel walks up, and offers a hand. "The name's Jaxcel James, pleased to be aquainted." Jaxcel waits for a response, but impatiently starts talking again. "Now if you are unaware, you shall reach out your hand, grasp mine briefly, and reply back with your name, and directly after that, a 'nice to meet you too'." Jaxcel then waits for a response.

"I do apologize, young man... I was lost in my own thoughts for a moment. Morgana DeFang is my name. I work for the Bureau of Paranormal Affairs. She took the young man hand briefly, then asked with a small smile, " So, you're here to see the Warlord too, hmm? How nice."

She releases his hand, smooths her skirt and takes a seat opposite the young man.

She then looks expectantly at him, awaiting his next response.

"hmmm, it does seem like I am. I'm not well aquainted with extra terrestrial beings but they seem like a good partner to help me take over the world. I also decided I've had enough with our law. And may I say you look wonderful in that skirt".

"My dear young man, are you flirting with me? Why, I'm at least old enough to be your -- mother." (Actually, centuries older, but who keeps track of birthdays after the 40th?)

"The dear Baron thought that my connections to the Pentagon might be useful to the cause. Of course you do know these are not REALLY aliens, I mean real ones from outer space. That's just a hoax that they're using to help crush the resistance, I'm sure."

Morgana again smiles at the young man.

"Ah, I see my dear, than I am sorry, but may I say, that you look a lot younger."

"Anyways, I was brought here because of my knowledge of human weaponry, in fact I made some of the best ones they have." Jaxcel casually says.

Meanwhile, Jayariel and Corrine, noticing the signature of the temporal spell, take cover so as not to be noticed. As Krystal stepped from the time-portal, she noticed the drone that they had destroyed nearby. After a quick but efficient examination of the wreckage, Krystal blasts the carrcas with several massive electrical discharges, masking the rents that the blades had made.

Oberon had informed her that most fae of this time-frame had fled through the gates to other-realms or were institutionalized as mentally-ill.

As Krystal begins to search for other Fae minds in this current time-frame, she senses the eyes upon her... while taking care not to seem aware, she slowly moves in a seemingly random pattern, as if back-tracking the drone, but slowly coverges upon the area where the young mages are hiding.

Disappearing into the underbrush for a moment, she appears behind the confused couple and speaks, startling them.

"Well, what have we here...you're the one who took out the drone, I presume...members of the resistance, no?"
