Re: Roll to Dodge - Tiny Gods
Put on a black suit and tie, grab the Camaro and head out the police station to inquire when the Spyker* will be released from investigative custody. Put on some nice music.
*yes Spyker, because if your country has one supercar company then you have to own one.

Everyone has the normal stuff you'd expect to find in their pockets; keys, wallet, lint, etc. If the character had anything unusual, I wrote that down. If you WANT you char to have anything unusual, just say the word.

I'm taking the opportunity for you to introduce some potentially plot relevant items and also letting you give me power-relevant gear.
Should help with balancing in my regard.

Watch the rest of Ikki's little introduction. See if this Gifted guy demonstrates his power. After the intro is done, see if Ikki has anything pressing he needs me to do before I run my own errands.

Scrabble through the desk for the cheap pack of cigarettes, the battered Zippo and the ID card. Go outside (carefully avoiding the head of staff, who frightens me), light a smoke, think for a while.
"...there's nowhere to go from here, Gregory. Somebody up there marked you, buddy. What are you gonna do? Are you just gonna take it, you lousy piece of ♥♥♥♥? Listen to me, Greg. Are you listening, fat ♥♥♥♥?"
The doctor shuts his eyes and begins shaking his head. The lit cigarette falls from his mouth as he crosses himself.
Do I honestly just come to these stair steps to get a glimpse of that one actress?
>Better finish this circuit, head to whatever occupation's first: University Student, or Storage and Moving, since it seems to be the morning.
So, what the hell could Leona have at her house?

Re: Roll to Dodge - Tiny Gods
ALRIGHT. ROLLING!
CaveCricket48 - Tabitha "Tabi" Merriam [4] "A light lunch would be nice. What's nearby?" "Well, a few places. There's a nice bistro a few blocks from here, a couple cafes right here to serve the theatergoers, and... I do believe a new branch of a popular designer sandwich chain opened recently. Any of that tickle your fancy?" "Bistro... that sounds good." Richard begins navigating through the streets while you change the music. Minaj is good, but you feel like something a bit calmer right now. Some jazz maybe. While you drive, you check the news headlines. Protests Continue as Gifted Movement Leader Heads Rallies Massive Fire on West Side, 18 Dead, 46 Injured Twinkie Production Resumes in Four States Military Base in Central Park Ignores Opposition The usual. You arrive at the Bistro, and it's moderately busy. The parking is mostly full, but you find a space easily enough. Richard trails behind you as you head in, getting a separate but nearby table. He's a manservant, not a nanny. There if you need him, not if you don't. The Bistro is nice inside; tall ceilings, wood panelling, a traditional old-country feeling to the decor. It all feels very... homey. The server approaches while you're browsing the menu, and after a moment greets you. "H-hello maam, my name is Sterling, I'll be your server today. Can I start you with anything?" Hmm. Monotone voice, but he's got a friendly tone. "Yes, I'll have the-"
One of Wind
"...garden salad, to start."
-Character Sheet- Gift Name: Playwright
Inventory: - Fancy White Ensemble - Handbag -- Smartphone -- Wallet --- $300 --- ID -- Pepper Spray Skills/Traits: - Upper Crust (+3 to dealing with upper class people and services, can use family resources.) - Labor is Beneath Me (-2 to physical exertion) Status:
Age: 19 Description: 5 feet 8 inches, dirty blonde hair, blue eyes. A frail looking girl, usually wears dressy clothes, but not dresses. Background: The child of a family known for their company of literary reference books, Tabi's education was provided by either prestigious private schools or expensive tutors. She comes off as cold, calculative, and arrogant, and has a difficult time being friendly even when she tries. Her primary interest is theatrical performances, and spends the bulk of her free time in the box seats of the few expensive theaters in the city.
maart3n - Tim van der Valk [1] You put on your Sunday Best, actually just a regular suit with a slightly iridescent black and red tie, and hop in your Camaro. Leaving the estate, you gun it down the mostly abandoned well maintained roads of the nice part of town, and slow as you come into the more populated city streets. Making your way through the hustle and bustle, you head to the police impound lot to inquire about your fourth ride, your pride and joy, a Spyker C8 Aileron you got last year. Of course, the moment the wall goes up, some crazed ♥♥♥♥ with a tire iron smashes your window, hotwires your baby, and gets caught halfway across the city after he nearly T bones into a random minivan. Moron was practically out of his mind trying to get out the city. It's been held in police custody ever since, waiting for the court hearings to finish. They said it would be done soon, and you could have your car back when it was, but they didn't say exactly when, so you've been checking daily. ...Now that you think of it, how are you going to drive it out if it IS ready for release? Actually, it'll need to have its window replaced won't it, you can have a shop pick it up.
You arrive at the lot, and park your Camaro where you can see it from the small police office, built next to the large fenced lot full of cars.
-Character Sheet- Gift Name: Pose Breaker
Inventory: - Keyring -- 2002 Ford Mustang -- 2010 Chevy Camaro -- Dodge Ram Skills/Traits: - Speed Demon (+2 to driving, owns several cars of different types) - Noble Air (Stands out from most people, very recognizable) Status:
Age: 23 Description: A Dutch immigrant of noble descent. A tall, at 6'3", young man with brown hair and deep blue eyes. Wears a suit jacket over his t-shirt and jeans, to somehow differentiate himself from people who are off "lesser origins". Background: Obviously being of low nobility he also hails from a relatively wealthy home, expensive cars, suits, jewellery. You name it, they probably had it. Tim never really bothered with any of that. Except the cars, oh how he loved the freedom they gave him riding out into the dark of night breaking every speed limit imposed around the outskirts of town. Being an only child his parents expect him to follow in their footsteps and take control of his father's design corporation, something Tim is more than willing to do.
Benpasko - Blade Runner [5] "Today's the day, gonna find some concrete proof. I'll show those ♥♥♥♥ yet." You surreptitiously get up, and stealthily snoop your way around the plant's perimeter, staying on the other side of the street as much as possible. Hmm. From what you can tell, Norstar's not particularly invested in this place... They've got a guard booth in front, a big chain link fence to keep people out, and maybe another guard that patrols every so often. This place either doesn't need much security, or they're very good at hiding it. Regardless, you continue scoping. The fence is all intact and pretty new, but you could cut your way in if you needed to. The guards would notice when they patrolled, but if you time it right that could still give you plenty of time. Not sure what you would do once you're inside though, the juicy stuff is probably right in the guard booth, and that'll never be empty. Alternatively, you could blow this popsicle stand and go find somewhere with a REAL Norstar presence. It'd be a harder nut to crack, but you'd be SURE to find something juicy. You run out of soup just as you make it back to your initial observation position in front of the gate.
-Character Sheet- Gift Name: Kinetic Pylon
Inventory: - Empty Soup Cup - Newspaper of Spying (Today's Issue) - Warm Homeless Clothes Skills/Traits: - Conspiracy Theorist (+2 to gathering information, large gathered net of information about Nortsar Security) - That Conspiracy Guy (Known as a crazy conspiracy theorist among other homeless) Status:
Age: 20 Description: 6'2, pale man with a brown goatee and buzzcut hair. Wears jeans, a hoodie, and a skull-pattern bandana tied back, hood up. Background: Homeless conspiracy theorist who moves around the city to further his investigations into Norstar Security's obvious involvement in the origin of the gifts.
Tomaster - Simmons Johnson [4] "Alright, show em! Show em show em!" Salamander holds his hand up, fingers fanned and facing up, and a small flame pops into existence on the tip of each one. He then swings his hand through the air, leaving a large blazing trail of flame, and eliciting oohs and ahhs from the other gangmembers. "Yeah! This guy's a firebender! It's sweeeeeeeeeeet! We're gonna get some ♥♥♥♥ done now, move up in life!" "...That all Ikki? You have anything for us, or is this just to show us your new friend." He looks surprised that you spoke up, then changes to a look of deep, intense thought. "Hrnnng... Yeah! Figure out what we're gonna do with Salamander! I mean we're gonna expand our turf, but we gotta aim higher than that too! Think big! Rob somewhere, kidnap a rich girl and get some ransom, crack a safe open maybe... The possibilities are endless!" ...So yeah, that's all. He does this, goes off on silly rants and spouts crazy ideas, they're mostly just excitement and bluster. Hmm. Do you wait until the meeting's over so you can talk with Salamander one on one, or do you just leave?
-Character Sheet- Gift Name: Two Step Road
Inventory: - Concealed Glock 17 Skills/Traits: - Ups and Downs (+2 in situations that go bad) - Mixed Blood (You've known many people in your days. Some of them like you and can help. Some hate you and want you dead.) Status:
Age: 43 Description: A middle aged man with silver/black hair, 6'2" and pushing 190lbs. Used to have an athletic build, now it's just muscle turned soft by age and laziness. Dark grey eyes and a permanent 5 o'clock shadow. Unremarkable and average. Background: Born into extreme poverty, Simmons always wanted to be the "American Success" story. Being told for years that if he just pulled himself up by his bootstraps and put his time in, he'd be wealthy, caused him to dedicate the first ten years past age 14 to working different part and full time jobs in various factories and businesses so he could get enough money to start his own business. However, at the age of 26, a series of injuries, accidents, and financial missteps drained the entirety of his savings and left him penniless. Impatient, and with his illusions of hard work paying off shattered, Simmons turned to crime. He soon learned that he was a natural at remaining unseen and unheard by those not expecting him due to his unremarkable appearance. This propensity to remain unseen proved valuable after he was sent on what was thought to be a suicide mission to eliminate a rival head of one of the cities many crime syndicates. After that, he proved indispensable as a mid-level enforcer, hitman, and scout. Knowing that the head of such a violent organization was often the one "displaced" during internal coups, Simmons never aspired to rise too high, and instead stayed as a mid-sized and knowledgeable cog in a large and deadly machine, despite multiple "reorganizing efforts" during his lifetime. Until now, anyway.
caekdaemon - Daemon [6] "Today is going to be a good day." You turn on the TV in your apartment, and tune to the local news, listening while you go around and gather some things. Idle hands are the devil's workshop, and every workshop has tools. "The investigation into the fire two days ago continues, investigators say arson is not out of the question, but the possibility of Gifted involvement complicates matters tremendously... A pair of kukris, mostly for the intimidation factor. No knife scarier to see in someone's hand, really. "Norstar's Odin is making a public appearance today at a press conference, along with the surprise announcement that Norstar will begin offering protection services on a neighborhood level..." Emergency flashbangs, rigged to the inside of your coat. Can drop them at a moment's notice, and gives you enough time to make a quick getaway. You don't like carrying them, but you only use them when things have gotten too hot to handle. Important to have. "The police chief has stepped down, resigning after 24 years of service, while the new chief, James Gondolas, has taken the position. Gondolas is also known to be a Gifted by the name of 'Justice in Chains'..." A small, serviceable glock. Easily concealed, versatile, good in a fight. Not your preferred method of death dealing, but you'd be foolish to not have a piece. Let's see, what else besides the essentials... A spool of garrote wire, a notepad and pencil for notes, your punchcard for Bubble Tea, two more punches and you get a free tea! Your latest read for the quiet moments, a small pair of binoculars... You think this will do for now, until you know better what exactly you'll be doing.
-Character Sheet- Gift Name: Shadow Jack
Inventory: - Apartment Full of Tools - Kukris - Flashbang Rig - 9mm Glock - Garrote Wire - Notepad and Pencil - The Art of War - Binoculars Skills/Traits: - No Rest for the Wicked (+4 to hunting a target) - Most Wanted (Easily recognized as a wanted criminal) Status:
Age: 27 Description: A fairly bulky man, approximately 6'3ft tall, weight unknown. He has dark blonde hair and dark eyes with a series of tattoos across his body, most notably a large python on the side of his neck stretching down across the back of his body. He's fast on his feet, security footage shows him fleeing the scenes of his...handiwork with good speed. Background:Dossier Linked.
TheKebbit - Dr. Gregory Martel [5] You scrounge through your desk, hunting down your cigarettes and lighter, then you take a walk outside to the smoking area. Being a chemical plant, you have to be careful where you're releasing the smoke, lest you contaminate something important. As you puff on the smoke, you find yourself quietly monologuing. "...there's nowhere to go from here, Gregory. Somebody up there marked you, buddy. What are you gonna do? Are you just gonna take it, you lousy piece of ♥♥♥♥? Listen to me, Greg. Are you listening, fat ♥♥♥♥?" ...No. You don't think... "You don't think you're listening, you piece of ♥♥♥♥?" You don't think you'll take it. You're... you're better. Better than them, better than this. Absentmindedly, you flick the lighter open, its flame silently licking at the air. You spit out the cigarette, stamping it out, then cross yourself after a moment of thought.
You have what it takes to become a god. A god or a monster.
-Character Sheet- Gift Name: Unman Integrate
Inventory: - Pack of Cigarettes - LBL Chem ID Skills/Traits: - Power of Science (Vast chemical knowledge, can analyze underlying structure of things) - Little Man (His presence commands little respect, and will often be pushed around for it) Status:
Age: 46 Description: Martel is an unimposing, doughy figure of 5'11", frequently dressed in faded and burned safety overalls over the business casual attire demanded by his corporate employers. His dull green eyes squint, barely focused through smudged glasses. A sad, too-short necktie resplendent in the psychedelic colors of the 60s attempts to liven his appearance and fails, contrasting strangely with the respirator that hangs around his neck during work hours. The attention that his thinning hair no longer requires goes into his mustache, which is neatly trimmed although always slightly lopsided due to poor perspective vision. Background: A nervous chemical engineer more used to managing plastics synthetic cascades and working around rate-determinants than dealing with people, Dr. Martel's meteoric fall from scientific grace went unnoticed by all but himself. After pioneering work in solvents in the heady, brilliant days of a youth at a prestigious technical school, he rapidly fell into middle management of a synthesis plant and found himself unable to do anything but grind out wages to house himself and his elderly dog, Martel's only companion following the death of his parents. Fond of stamp and mineral collecting, extremely conscientious of his work and idiosyncratically tidy at home. Phlegmatic to a fault, pleasant to acquaintances and strangers, but prone to ignoring his surroundings and giving vague, blustering speeches.
Foa - Morrissa "Eonislara" Leona [10] Do I honestly just come to these stair steps to get a glimpse of that one actress? ... Probably not. You get up and stretch, satisfied with your people-watching for now, and you make your way towards the Community College. It's not a long walk, and it's through a nice part of town, so you take your time. That's another reason you go through here, it's much better than going straight to the college. You'd have to pass through a seedy neighborhood that way, and though you have to spend an extra 45 minutes or so walking, you don't mind it. Soon, you've reached the college, 10 minutes before class. As you head in, you wonder what you'll do with your free time after class and before your job.
-Character Sheet- Gift Name: Black Rabbit
Inventory: Skills/Traits: - Athletic (+3 to physical exertion) - Lady Unluck (Life tends to be hard on her, but sometimes gives a lucky break.) Status:
Age: 23 Description: Most noticable about her is her fiery mane of hair (of a wavy orange) and distinctly dull grey eyes-- both of which she passes off as heredity. She is partial to beige and light blues in her outfits, and has a large, iridescent and ashen tattoo that rounds her right shoulder. She is physically fit, with a lanky and muscular form that measures to about 5'3", often wearing clothing that exaggerates her slight pear-shaped body. Background: Prodigal track and field, gets molested, moves away, no scholarships, lives in obscurity and fear and poverty, recently got into college, lives in an isolated flat.
Offendo - Saladin Ashur [2] Without your cane? You already CAN walk without your cane. Hell, give it a few more weeks and you could probably do a cartwheel. ... Well, maybe a jumping jack. Let's not get too far ahead of ourselves after all. This Gift is amazing, you are honestly well enough to go out and, well, DO something! Hmm. Maybe you should go see some old friends. You've not been able to because of your health, but now that's not a problem.
-Character Sheet- Gift Name: Hive Talker
Inventory: Skills/Traits: - Relic (Frail, has a few long-standing friends around in powerful places) - Silver Tongue (+3 to conversation) Status:
Age: 92 Description: Saladin, or as he is known around, Sal, is an old, somewhat frail man, but is working to reverse the effects of pollution on his body. Sal is an ex-businessman, and people generally respected him as one. He was well liked around his neighborhood and surrounding city. Being indoors for extensive time has not dampened his status; he is still quite aware of the outside world. About 6 feet in his young age, his weak bones in his age force him to have a slight hunch. He has a difficult time moving quickly, though he can walk with little effort using a cane. His senses are up to par, despite his rough past. Background: All of his life he has lived as a humble businessman, owning a small restaurant inherited from his old man in what could be considered the "nicer part of town." In his young age, he was an active socialite and an ambitious worker which allowed his political and social influence to grow. However, his weakness and frailty from the excess pollution and poisoning in the later life forced him to retire at age 60, nearly breaking his entire spirit. He is still alive, hoping to reclaim his business as soon as he is fit once more. His time now consists of staying indoors, safe from the toxicity of the outside air, and slowly working his body back to his former self.
