OOC: Not soon... It's a really long way off, I still need to work out the plot. But I want my first attempt at making a story to be really, really good. |
Janus: "I knew I could count on you." Janus turns his back to Schwa, and begins recounting the events of his past... "I used to be a demigod, an anthropomorphic personification. It was my old occupation. Much like Death, Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, the Soul Cake Duck... I presided over the realm of electronic entertainment along with my compatriots, each of which centered around a certain form of entertainment. Books, television, film, if it kept a mind occupied, chances are it was associated with my organization. But my realm was unique: Video games, I found, lead to the deterioration, not just complacency, of the minds of the people I watched over. They glorified violence and horrible actions, giving rewards to those who engaged in them. Unlike books, they had no educational value. Unlike film and television, all attempts to point to a moral high road had failed in their industry. Unlike sports, there was no physical gain from them, save for the most extreme cases. It seemed almost as though there was no point to having them, other than to give ME power." Janus faces Schwa again, and continues his story. "So I quit. I quit being the "god of gaming", to live a life amongst those whom I felt I had corrupted. Without anyone to preside over these people, gradually I found the number of video game related crimes to increase, but amazingly enough, rather than fester without my iron grip, they almost killed themselves. Gradually, they became as mainstream as the other forms. But unlike in my area, the presiding beings still remained. To top that off, they were a bit offset by my defection to everyday life." He pauses. "This is where the White Light organization comes in. At approximately the same time, three young men had undergone special treatment to become the ultimate defense against the enemies of good. But rather than work for the government that had sponsored their treatment, they instead formed an independent vigilante team whose only aim was to make sure the world remained safe. With a strong leader, a brilliant mind, and the youth of the world working in tandem, they formed a powerful combination of purifying force. My compatriots recognized this up and coming superhero group as a force to be reckoned with, and invited them to find and execute me. Having lost most of the godlike powers associated with my former position, the only things I took with me from the position were my bag...." At this, Satchel comes to life and speaks... Satchel: "Heya." Janus: "...And apparently, the ability to manipulate time. I'll get to that later. My fellows staged several horrible events and blamed them on me, framing me in the eyes of the White Light. I was hunted. I had been hunted the first time you and I clashed, it was why I had to begin traveling at dawn. They might have found me if I hadn't stayed moving. Gradually, with the help of a person you might know, with Origin's help, I was able to show the White Light the error of their ways. It took a bit of convincing, and Agent Red actually almost died, but finally Blue knocked some sense into him and I formed an alliance with the three agents, so long as I could prove to them that I had done nothing wrong. I showed them that I was being framed, and they agreed to assist me in getting revenge on my attackers." Janus' face is suddenly downcast... "But it didn't work out. The four of us challenged them, we rose against them as best friends, and barely managed to escape with our lives. It was a complete fKitten Yiffer. I decided to begin to train harder, to make sure I could defeat them the next time we fought. It was during this time that I discovered that I could move through time at will, still. Blue assisted me in honing this skill, and gradually I was able to leave the world I lived in, and visit many others. I fought in all of the wars of the Earth. I lived many adventures, and gained many powerful items to assist me in my quest for power. I learned of my long life and my ability to truly improvise abilities beyond what I originally showed you. But most importantly, I met Star, the Time Champion. That, too, is an important event that I will detail." He pauses again, and thinks hard before continuing. "At this time I went back to my own time, to the White Light. They, too, had gotten stronger. We were all ready, or so we thought. The second time we rose against my enemies, they spared us no quarter. Red, Green, and Blue were brutally murdered after the fight of their lives. All three of them together could barely put a dent in my foes, and I myself was overcome. I watched them die before my very eyes, and was further tortured for years and years. Finally, I was cursed with the armor you see me wearing now. I was cursed with true immortality, much like Star. I had to live forever knowing that I was responsible for the deaths of my best friends." "I fled. Teleported randomly through time and space, trying to forget the pain that I knew I would endure for an eternity. I fought, and I fought, and I was killed so many times, but I never died. The armor kept me alive, no matter how much I wanted to die. Finally, I called upon the one person whom I felt I might be able to relate to. I called Star. I called him, and the two of us fought fiercely. We unleashed our powers upon each other at the very place where I had chosen to bury Agent Red. It was there I told him of my plight, and he told me to do something about it. He told me to get stronger, and to remember that I had the power of time travel on my side. It was then that I realized an inkling of the real power I had locked inside me by this armor, and it is now that I show you what I can do. I've chosen to don the equipment of my old friends. After 500000 years of preparation, I feel I am finally ready to set the last of my plans into motion." "I've begun a part of it already. I told Star to begin gathering allies. And I tell you, to gather allies for this as well. We will need the best. The strongest. And yet, nobody must die. Above all else, I will not have any person die at my hands. I've taken an alternate form of the three agents from another universe where I do not exist. They've agreed to assist me in reviving their brothers. I've also enlisted the help of an ace detective from Great Britain, a Mr. Grey Davis. He, too, is assisting me in my search." "Schwa, this is not just a personal feud. I've realized that entertainment does not need a presiding deity to keep human minds complacent. These people control the minds of humans. Surely you of all people realize the danger a lack of free will can cause for humanity? Our generations are turning into numb-minded fools; the true potential of human development will never be reached until they are awoken from their dazed slumber. Then, will entertainment cease to be a boring past time and truly become something that people can take pride in, for alongside it will exist a hard working world where we give back everything we take, rather than just consume and sit in front of our happy little devices all day..." Janus ends his story with a slump of his shoulders. It was draining, remembering and summarizing so many years... "So, now that I've said so much to you, I must know.... Do you still wish to join me?"

Still pointing his gun, Grey hopes to get in at least SOME witty banter before Melvin takes to the skies... |
Grey: "I see. So instead of low blows, you're going for really high ones?" Grey then reaches into his coat, and withdraws.... an empty hand. He suddenly rushes Melvin, leaping toward him and clapping him on the shoulder with his hand. "Ha, I'd actually like to see this for myself, rather than have to fight you while you're flying. How's that jetpack work?" He's grinning as he makes his approach, his hand sliding away from Melvin's shoulder and his gun being placed back into its holster. "And don't worry a bit about what I just did, it's not like I placed a minute explosive charge on your shoulder or anything and I'm planning on detonating it as you take off. Go ahead, fly away, I wanna see!"

Janus: "I guess they're gonna just tell the students I stayed back a few grades, or something. Whatever the case is, I'm not ten years old." |
Satchel's opening flapped with his speech... Satchel: "You're not ten, but you've certainly got the mind of a child. Look at you, you're talking to a duffel bag!" Janus: "Nice. You're degrading yourself, you know." Satchel: "Me? Who's the one waving a piece of wood around and wearing a bathrobe?" Janus: "It's not a bathrobe!" The two of them continued squabbling as they nonchalantly found a cabin that just happened to be empty...

Taking a leaf out of a classic detective series, Grey comes up with what he believes is a brilliant idea... |
Grey: "Let's split up!"

But plasma isn't really all that potent.... Not that I've seen anyway. One fully charged plasma shot is about equal to a single stone strike or a single hammer blow, which I think are equal in power anyway. |
The discard hammer throw is awesome, though... I also like the headspin yoyo attack, those two are favorites of mine.

Hearing Kirby's mantra, Janus rips his attention away from Satchel to peer out the door. |
Janus: "Hey, you there! Don't be a stranger... Come on in!"

Grey: "Not necessarily dead...." |
He brushes past Kirby into the room, looking toward the jail cells, one of which houses a long-dead skeleton, as many jail cells tend to do... "Well, maybe him. But I refuse to believe there's nothing in here at all!"

OOC: Fire away.... |
Janus: "Much better than I did before, that's for sure. So it's agreed. You'll spread the word to the greatest and most noble people you meet? I thank you, my friend." "I...... have one more request. Though we are both obviously pure beings, I would like the honor of doing battle with you, the both of us being the strongest we've been yet. This won't be a spar, Schwa. Though we won't fight to kill, I don't want you to hold back on me. Consider it a test of our new powers. After all, if we can't face each other, how will we face this great evil?" Again, Janus holds his hand outstretched to Schwa, this time as a confirmation of a duel. "You do not have to, I will not force you."

Slamming his hammer into the dragon, Janus sends it flying away from him, and retreats into Jarukoth's mist for some cover... |
From the mist, Hector sees a hammer whirling straight at him!

Janus: "Teddylot? Sounds familiar... My name's Janus. It's nice to meet you." |
(thinking): 'THESE guys? Darn it, who'd have known I'd see them again... Like it or not, that bear looks familiar, too... But where have I seen a talking teddy bear before...?' He then looked over to Kirby. "Yeah, it's, uh, it's pretty exciting to be going to Hogwarts... What year are you all?"

Grey: "Gladly." |
In a sequence that nearly defied the laws of physics, Grey casually slipped through the bars of the cell and approached the hole. "Uh.... Kirby? You think I can go in this hole?"

OOC: OK, took me some time to figure out what to do here... |
From his satchel, Janus pulls out a Japanese translation guide and compares what he sees in it to the "instructions" on the wall. Just for kicks, he also pushes that button.

Janus: "Oh, don't worry about being too old.... I'm WAY too old to be in the year I'm in..." |
He shifts uncomfortably in his seat, trying to look as young as possible for the moment.

Grey: "Ha, I'm sure as hell not touching it. You go ahead and... do whatever it is you do with these things. Eerie looking chests radiating with the power of darkness tend to make me break out." |
He steps behind Kirby, causing the spiky-headed hero to be that much closer to the chest.

Janus: "Well, it's not exactly just your year... It's mine, too..." |
He looks down at his bag, then back up at his companions. "It's like.... Late enrollment! Yeah, late enrollment. I was enrolled late." Throughout all of this, he never actually reveals his true age.

Janus takes his wand out of his "robe". He waves it around, sending a tiny shower of sparks out of the tip. |
Janus: "Well, a feather from a phoenix, and some fur from a unicorn or something. I don't really know. He just said it would work. Something about wands choosing wizards.... But I'm not a wizard. I wonder how that works?" | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
