In the midst of the pain, clarity strikes, and you realize that you’ve spilled your spaghetti too severely to salvage the situation. Embracing the shadows, your visage fades to a dull impression in the dark and you leap backward, landing feet-first on the side of the tree. Reducing yourself to a fraction of your true weight, you sprint into the upper branches and press your back against the tree trunk without rustling a single branch or making so much as a single sound. Your stomach wound is agonizing, but you defy the urge to groan in favor of a harsh wince. Over the course of two nerve wracking hours, the hillfolk abandon their search and from what you overheard, they assume you were on drugs.> +4 Stealth [4/5]Let them, you just want to go back to your cave. So you do, and arrive within less than an hour. Almost collapsing and bleeding into one of the pickup trucks, you scramble to take out the first aid kit, take out the bottle of isopropyl alcohol, grit your teeth, and force yourself to pour it into the gaping bullet hole. Then you grab the needle, loop the thread into it, and pause. There’s no exit wound, so first you’re going to have to get the bullet out, which means you’ll have to re-disinfect yourself, which means the first time was for no good reason. Fuck. The sight of the rusted long-nosed pliers the illicit farmers had in the glove box is almost worse than the actual injury, but you steel your will, and realize you don’t have to.Making a tendril of darkness tiny enough to actually reach into the hole proves to be an interesting challenge, but when you merge with the shadows, you can almost *feel* the edge of the lead tip, which makes the process much less finicky. Still not as painful as Berserk’s eternal boat ride, and imagining Guts being disgusted at your weakness makes the ad-hoc surgery easier to bare. Then comes the splash, then comes the stitching, and wrapping the wound in a bandage. It hurts, but remembering you could’ve been doing this with makeshift tools makes you extremely happy you decided to pick-up a first aid kit. The fact that you can’t continue your Hakoge ninja warrior training is honestly the worst part of the ordeal, and the realization you’ve come so far in cultivating your discipline is humbling.> +2 First Aid [3/20]> +3 Intelligence [17/20]> (1/?)
>>3550816Over the course of the next eight days, you continue honing your less physically demanding skills. Namely, reading, trapping, woodwork, and meditation. The Beginner’s Guide to Camping and the Long-Term Camper’s Cookbook are the only manuscripts you haven’t perused in detail, so you do, and little by little, learn something new. Trapping goes both terrifically good and terribly bad. For one, laying out snares and checking the ones you have has become a routine, and a loop that once took almost an hour to figure out can be finished in under five minutes, but for another, your attempts to make a waterproof fishing net fail to do anything but waste rope, and waste time.> +4 Survival [12/10], Level Up! Survival: 2 [2/20]!> +4 Cooking [4/5] > +3 Intelligence 3 [17/20]When you’ve learned all from The Beginner’s Guide to Camping and the Long-Term Camper’s Cookbook you think you can for the week, you decide to delve into the depths of meditative trance, as seen in Naruto and countless other animes. Even with the weight of your jiggling, but slowly diminishing rolls of fat enormous Hakoge ninja warrior musculature, assembling a sufficiently large pile of brush and kindling is a simple enough task, and one you undertake with great satisfaction. Once the sun has set on the bonfire in the making, you cross your legs and flicking your trusty lighter to life, set it alight.The assorted tinder seems to explode into flame, so you spread your arms and embrace the heat. It washes over you, fills your girthy mighty frame, and cleanses you. For that moment, all thought save that of bringing honor to this broken world ceases to be, and you are one with your gender neutral non binary trans African ancestors. You gaze into the flames with the still fury of one who knows his foe better than he knows himself, inhale the smoky air of the furious, frothing hate which strives to consume you, and exhale the pale mist of crystal clear, cold and merciless focus which will not relent.Until the sun rises you gaze into the roaring flame, and it is only when even the embers amidst the ashes flicker no more you tear your eyes away. You remain seated, deep in contemplation for what feels like an eternity, and when the presence of your gender neutral non binary trans African ancestors leaves you, it is almost as if your soul has lost itself. Some weakness remains, yes, but it is tempered by the purity of purpose that only a true Hakoge ninja warrior can know. Your fate has been laid open, you are Derek Ian Edwards, the instrument of justice incarnate in these corrupt and broken lands, and those who dare stand against the righteous wrath of the Ronin, shall DIE upon your blade! > +20 Willpower [42/80]> (2/3)
>>3550816>>3550819For the rest of the week, you focus on training your superhuman reflexes to catch shurikens you throw in the air, and miraculously predictably, fail to cut yourself in the slightest. Sadly, you make only minor progress in furthering your speed of motion, and when you sleep, you dream of putting your martial prowess to the test against swarms of grizzled bears and filthy roastie temptresses, each intent on stealing your waifu away. These dreams and others like them seem to repeat themselves, and by the time Monday arrives, you find yourself almost anticipating their nightly arrival.> How do you want to spend the next week?>Date: 10/17/2010>Age: 24>Weight: 323.0 pounds or 146.51 kg>Fitness: - Two glancing pellet-scars in the stomach- Glancing rifle round scar in the stomach>Skills:- Persuasion: 1 [7/10]- Intimidation: 3 [9/40]- Driving: [3/5]- Carpentry: 2 [3/20]- Tannery: 1 [4/10]- Survival: 2 [2/20]- Trapping: 1 [3/10]- First Aid: 2 [3/20]- Stealth: [4/5]>> Shadow Melding/Summoning: (12)- Dodging: 2 [2/20]>> Superhuman Martial Arts: (12)- Parkour: 1 [2/10]>> Superhuman Reflexes: (16)- Unarmed: 1 [0/10]- Knife: 2 [17/20]- All Melee Combat: [N/A]>> Superhuman Martial Arts: (12)- Throwing: 2 [0/20]>> Superhuman Martial Arts: (12)- Rifle: 1 [5/10]>Attributes- Strength: 5 [27/60]>> Weight Reduction: (8)- Endurance: 6 [3/80]- Dexterity: 4 [26/40]>> Superhuman Reflexes: (25)- Intelligence: 3 [17/20]- Willpower: 6 [42/80]- Charisma: 3 [8/20]> Superpowers: 42 (PP)> Mover 8/7: Superhuman Reflexes, Gravity Redirection> Brute 4: On-Contact Weight Reduction> Thinker 6: Superhuman Martial Arts> Stranger 5: Shadow Melding> Shaker 7: Shadow Summoning> Striker 4/Blaster 3: Blade Generation> Equipment:> Cheap Gas Mask> 2 Gas Mask Filters> WWE Wrestler Mask(s)> Japanese Oni Mask> 1 Large First Aid kit [9/10]> 8 Kitchen Knives> 7 Hunting Knives> 2 Switchblades> 1 Uzi SMG [0/20]> 3 SMG Magazines, [3 Empty]> 2 [LAZ0R] Rifles, [20/20][20/20]> 6 [LAZ0R] Rifle Discs> 1 Assault Rifle, [30/30]> 31 Assault Rifle Magazines, [1 Empty]> 1 Sunday Specials, [11/13]> 11 Pistol Magazines> 1 Sawn-Off Shotguns [8/8][8/8]> 36 Shotgun Shells>Resources:>> 2 Pickup Trucks [Fuel%] [23][81]> 2 Gas Cans [Each is 60% of a full tank]> 11 days of Health Food> 8 days of Junk Food> 3 Assault Rifles, [0/5][0/0][0/0]> 5 Sawn-Off Shotguns [8/8][8/8][8/8][8/8][8/8]> 2 Sunday Specials, [12/13][13/13]> 1 Suit of Small Exoskeletal Power Armor> 19 Tanned Squirrel Hides> 1 Tanned Young Hog Hide> 1 Basic Sewing Kit> Six Books, [Beginner’s Guide to Carpentry][Beginner’s Guide to First Aid][Beginner's Guide to Firearm Use (and abuse)][Beginner’s Guide to Camping][Beginner’s Guide to Sewing][The Long-Term Camper’s Cookbook]>> Makeshift Cave Lair: [Backwoods, Tennessee]> Tiny mirror, propped up on a rock>Income per month: None>Expenses: None>Assets: $62 cash> (3/3)
OH MY GOD YOU'RE NOT FUCKING DEAD HOLY SHIT
Ye of little faith, after a long meditation quest, I have returned to continue the chronicle of Derek Ian Edwards' AKA Ronin AKA Mr. D.I.E.'s saga!No, but seriously, every single one of you faggots has my deepest apologies for that unspeakable display of unwarned and unwarranted faggotry, but during my two week ban, so many weeks ago, my day-to-day life disintegrated and I've been picking up the pieces ever since.To list the highlights:> My formerly alcoholic and autistic but otherwise healthy grandfather died out of nowhere, two days after the ban, leaving me reeling> One week later, my parent's trailer was immolated in an electrical fire caused by a faulty roof installation, destroying everything they owned and suffocating my dog.> After narrowly passing both finals, I decided to change majors from Information Technology to English, because both back-to-back tragedies made me realize I'm dog-shit at handling computers and need to spend my life doing what I'm good at.> For the last month and a half, I've been living with my parents and younger sibling in my great-uncle's hunting cabin, with no internet connection whatsoever while we go about building an actual house 200 yards or for you eurogfags, 182.88 meters behind the ashes.> At one point, I was attacked by a meth-head with a tire iron while I was trying to drop off some burnt scrap metal at junkyard, and almost died in the ensuing confrontation because my dumbass left muh .45 in the truck's glove compartment, and I was lucky to get away with only some heavy bruises, even if I couldn't identify them to the policeIt's been some serious, life-changing shit, and all that aside, I'm ecstatic that I've finally managed to rig a shitty and slow Iphone7 hot-spot connection to continue this quest with you guys.
>he's backPRAISE BE
>>3550861Holy Jesus. Awesome to have you back!
>>3550861God bless you. Holy mother of God that's a trip my dude. I'm glad you are getting better though.
>>3550861Wow. I'm glad the QM curse failed to claim you OP. It certainly tried holy shit.Also, we've gained 6, why do we still have [17/20] intelligence? As for what we should do:>let's go hick hunting
>>3550824>Hunt a bear, skin and butcher it to the best of our ability. Then begin the process of making it a coat. Cook the remains and set them up to dry.>Spend the remaining time and effort (if applicable) practicing treerunning. Also attempt to water run.
>>3550861Why is it every time a anon and more specifically a qm reveals part of what is happening in their life, it always sounds about 60 times more interesting or insane than my own.
>>3551061Life is often stranger than fiction, because it's what we draw inspiration from. Chances are there is some aspect (if not moment) in your life that is just as ridiculous. I know I have.
>>3551072I very much doubt that, the only thing I've got going on is a 2 year college course that I plan on dropping out of with a lower level than I intended because I've delayed certain parts of the course past the point of being able to finish them thanks to missing a class I hate for weeks unintentionally as well as an exam in the next 24 hours that I expect to fail.Not that that would put me down, I'd get a second chance, but because this is the last week of my course I'd have a very limited period of time to study and prepare for my second attempt. Plus I'm questioning if I'd manage the second year, as I've received conflicting reports from my lecturers as to the content (e,g lecturer for the part I enjoy, network / routing tech, says it is essentially the same work but at a higher level whereas lecturer for a bunch of classes you have to take in first year because the education in this area is standard for the first year says it continues on with the shit I'd been working with, shit that I hate).It doesn't help that I've got a limited amount of "free" funding from my government to use, 4 years worth of which I've used a year, meaning that I've got to be dedicated and effective in my use of it. Which is in turn complicated by the fact I'm unsure of what the hell I want to do in life.I don't do clubs, charities, hobbies or anything else. I am one step away from being a NEET and it's honestly kinda stressful given I know if I dedicated myself to something, I'd be able to do amazing things but I don't have the discipline or the dream needed to settle on a goal and do it.
>>3551115Hello, me.
>>3551167It's me again.

>>3551223>risk another violent confrontationShinobi justice demands it
>>3551223Sorry I meant to say cloak. But with the skull cap obviously. And the arms wrapped over the shoulder. Because it's cool. Sewing is still probably needed, but it's not the same as a coat.
>>3551233If you can acquire a majority of votes, certainly.>>3551238Right. Keep in mind, bears are [Hard] to come by, and fashioning a half-decent cloak'd be a [Hard] task without any [Sewing] skill.
>>3551248Hhhhhhhmmm I'll wait until more people input in thread before I commit to anything. Thanks for the heads up though.

It is apparent to you that if you are to achieve your destiny as a Hakoge ninja warrior, you must become well-versed both in dishonorabru gaijin piggu weapons and the effeminate skill of sewing. Fortunately for you, amidst the tomes of your humble library lie two slightly used and dusty ancient and yellowed texts most well-suited to the herculean task your gender neutral non binary trans African ancestors have set before you.

>>3550816Holy fuck yes this is back. The best quest on qst for a long time, especially since the QM for Greatest War keeps falling off the earth and disappearing.
>>3552166+1
>>3552166Training [Throwing] full-time is a bit much on top of [Survival][Trapping][Cooking][Sewing][Tanning] and [Carpentry], but integrating [Parkour] and [Stealth] elements into your daily regimen is an easy enough task.>>3552178I agree, but keep in mind, this quest's from our intrepid protagonist's perspective.>>3552179Your superpowers are as follows:> [Tier 8] Superhuman Reflexes: Your reaction time is almost instantaneous, to the point that in stressful situations, your speed of thought and physical motion have hastened to compensate. This is potent enough to destroy any non-super that isn't a combat master or exceptionally lucky in melee combat, and dodge bullets, though not reliably.> [Tier 7] Gravity Redirection: You are able to redirect gravity in a short radius around yourself, primarily useful for wall-running and if need be, ceiling sprinting though if you get creative, there are some applications for grappling or dodging slower projectiles.> [Tier 4] On-Contact Weight Reduction: You can reduce the weight of any substance you or your weapons can touch by as much as five-hundred pounds, something you use almost daily to reduce yourself to a much more comfortable, weightless state, and in situations that require violence or heavy lifting, to replicate super-strength to a degree.> [Tier 6] Superhuman Martial Arts: You have the martial prowess of someone trained by the finest masters from cradle to grave, for two-and-a-half lifetimes. If this were your only superpower, in combat your speed would be blinding, your balance impeccable, every strike would land with every ounce of your weight exactly when and where it would do the most damage, and you might as well be intangible for all the injury your foes can inflict. That alone isn't enough to handle overwhelming numbers, modern weapons, and most serious supers, but it is not your only superpower.> [Tier 5] Shadow Melding: You are able to become one with the darkness, becoming almost invisible so far as the naked eye is concerned, extremely difficult to detect with night vision gear, and barely present to advanced thermal equipment. To use this, you must have ambient darkness to attune to, and if exposed to sufficiently bright light, you'll painfully snap back, momentarily disoriented.> [Tier 7] Shadow Summoning: You are able to dispel the light in a large radius equal to roughly thirty yards around yourself, and control the darkness that results. It can be made to form simple walls and rods with a thought, and as many as a dozen tendrils twice as strong as the average weightlifter with minor focus. These shapes are solid, and durable as high-grade steel, if not moreso, given they can regenerate from the surrounding shadows.> (1/2)
>>3553073> [Tier 4/3] Blaster/Blade Generation: You are able to summon katanas, wakizashi, shuriken, and kunai made of spirit energy at will, and each is equivalent to its historical variant in both cutting power and durability. These can last almost indefinitely if held in your hand, or for as long as half a minute if separate from your touch. This is by far your favorite superpower.So far as the average person is concerned, you are both a dozen memes incarnate and an eldritch horror with inscrutable motivations to be avoided if at all possible. The fact that you've vanished from the face of the earth for months since your first appearance, with nary a sign save the sites of a dozen, seemingly random massacres connected to a Mexican supremacist gang halfway across the country from your first appearance has done nothing to dispel the rumors, or ease the concerns of the Federal government.> (2/2)

>Inb4 DIEs non-binary gender neutral trans African ancestor was actually Adolf Hitler
>>3553191DELET THIS>>3553073>>3553081Thanks.So this tells me we need to bump Weight Reduction up a tier, so our powerlist starts at 5 and gets scarier from there.What do anons think our weaknesses have been historically?
>>3553191Well that'd explain his shitposting on /pol/.
>>3553220Automatics, daylight, and big groups of gangsters are biggest threats. Supers are scary but rare so we can avoid them if we’re careful. I think we need to go Wood Tinker like anons talked about in the second thread.>>3553191No u
>>3553191>>3553225I didn’t think anyone white was on /pol/ I thought everyone was either 56% huWhite at most, JIDF, or an Abo Aussie shitposter
>>3553220Damage output- DIE has speed and stealth down to a T, but only has mundane blades, shadows, and martial arts to attack with. Any of those three would be good, though I am biased towards Martial Arts as Uber alluded to them being duper duper nice at higher tiers
>>3553232I dunno, I think it would be best to stick to a tight set of powers that play well together and follow a clear theme. What we could do is practice Shadow Summoning to make wide-range attacks, but I still feel that we should be playing to our strengths (stealth, surprise, lethality) and avoiding our weaknesses until one of our powers is at least at tier 12. We should ideally never have to deal with our weaknesses during an excursion.
>>3553236If we have heavy objects around we could fake super-strength.Could we literally road roller someone if we leveled that up?
>>3553240If a fight isn’t in our favor, we can always tactically retreat. Ninjas did it, I’m sure our intrepid Hakoge would too. But the point should be to strike at a time, place, and manner so that our success is guaranteed. Like a true ninja.
>>3553240Yeah, I just want to really use our wood-carving skills and think log-bots could be cool as fuck.>>3553246But for now I think we should go full reflexes+martial arts to be an insta-kill blitz machine. Shadows are good enough against normies, we need to be strong enough to takedown SWAT.
>>3553234Well Derek isn't white. He's trans-african like his ancestors.
>>3553261Just like Adolf Hitler. He committed suicide because he couldn’t complete the mission his trans African ancestors gave him, to destroy Europe once and for all. We had to wait on Mütti Merkel
>>3553246>Ninjas did it>Hakoge's fw he learns ninjas aren't like Naruto
>>3553263We will complete Hitler-san’s mission, and purge every single one of the normies.
>>3553263He almost had it, too. But that turbo-oppressor Stalin turned out to be too monstrous to defeat. Him and his ice witches. Thankfully despite America's intervention they have remained blind to the potential of the trans-african population and thus Derek as well. But we better watch out for those ice witches. Bunch of commie Harlots.I feel like if I shitpost any harder I'll get put on a watchlist.
>>3553268Nonsense, gaijin revisionist propaganda>>3553276At last I truly see
For real though, we just going to hang out in the woods forever? Feels like we need to be killing cartel capes
>>3553283Idk, I want to successfully sell off some of our guns. We need to get our guy to go into the gym in town to bathe, groom, wash his nasty ass clothes, and try that whole talking to hillbillies who want cheap guns thing again.
>>3553283Training man, don’t sleep it. We also have some dealing hicks to hit up on the ledger...

Rolled 2 (1d2)>>3553639
>>3553606Derek thinks Hokuto no Ken is a quality manga in its own right, but that the anime doesn't hold a candle to Naruto or DBZ, and that it's overrated as a whole. Though it isn't too far from the mark of what can be done with high-end Superhuman Martial Arts.

>>3553729I got a question about this, is it .1 of a pound or .5 or what fraction is it exactly?
When do we start going stir crazy from living innawoods with no human contact? Actually, more important than that, without access to any manga? We need to unload the guns so that we can sneak into a manga/doujin store and acquire some superior Japanese entertainment. Not only is it spiritually nourishing for DIE, it helps entertain AND educate him.
>>3553758That's an infection, please get checked.>>3553767We've already carved a waifu, next step is to carve an entire cast of people and make our own action scenes with them. Just a ball of lard, playing in the woods with his dolls.
>>3553762.1 of a pound, yes.>>3553767You've already spent a solid decade with next-to-no human contact outside of a handful of obscure imageboards. Two(?) months is nothing in comparison, especially when you're hell-bent on gaining the powers of a Hakoge ninja warrior, but a normal person would be having some serious issues by now. Even so, eventually you'll be making Willpower rolls to avoid doing something reckless in your pursuit of JUSTICE.

Deep in your meditations, you realize that if you are to achieve mastery in the ways of the ninja warrior, you must first achieve a true Hakoge’s finesse in the timeless arts of stealth and parkour. While the gifts of your gender neutral non binary trans African ancestors are stronger than anything you could once imagine, it is clear that like Naruto and his chakras, you cannot rely on them alone, and must further yourself before your powers. Moreover, while stealth and parkour are some of the most impressive and least visible of the ninja’s skills, you know that the noble warrior cannot devote himself wholly to the ways of war, lest he be lost to the savagery within them. No, you cannot be a combatant alone, and if you are to find enlightenment, the refined skills of wilderness living must also be understood.Through the span of the following week, you devote yourself mind, body, and soul to the understanding of a wide breadth of working man’s trades. Survival, trapping, cooking, sewing, tannery, and carpentry alike- All things you never would’ve dreamed you could do before, but have now reached an understanding of even without applying your gifts. Your attentions are spread wide across each of the disparate disciplines and in some areas your studies progress little, but in some, namely cooking and sewing, you have a breakthrough.

Forcing yourself to remain apart from the shadows is difficult but it can be, and is done, and while getting down the basics is tedious, when you manage to sneak up to a squirrel and snap its neck in one smooth motion, no reflexes involved, you feel enormous pride in the step you’ve taken.

>>3553828All the same, you feel most content, and as the sun sets on the seventh day, you realize that for the first time in living memory, you’ve spent your Halloween outdoors becoming stronger, instead of cooped up in your bedroom fapping to cosplayers and binge-eating Hershey's kisses and Rolos chocolates. The thought almost brings a tear to your eye, and as you sit cross-legged, polishing a spirit katana to an immaculate sheen, you ponder how mommy is doing in Florida, or for that matter, Brett and Martha all the way in Pheonix, Arizona.

>mfw methodically combing through the archived threads to record individual supers, characters, and factions>>3553770No u>>3553802There are several classification systems, roughly one per continent, but the one most commonly used by the UN and to a lesser extent, the US government is a simple tier system ranging from 1-20. Unlike a superhero, super-villain, or super-vigilante's overall power level, the threat level takes their skills, motivations, and mental health or lack thereof into account. For example, a powerful pyromancer that's a known pacifist with a history of cooperating with Federal authorities might be tier 3, but a confirmed serial torturer dishonorably discharged from the Delta Force and avowed member of the (In)voluntary Extinction Movement villain group might rank as high as 12, even if they only had a moderate healing factor. The danger classification system isn't an end-all-be-all, or an objective measurement of a super's power level, only an indication of the Federal interest in monitoring or, in some cases, apprehending them for the sake of public safety.Derek Ian Edwards, AKA Ronin AKA Mr. D.I.E. is ranked at tier 14, because despite the fact that his identity is known to everyone in the country with a cellphone, he:>attacked a homeless bum in a public park solely on the suspicion that he was dealing drugs, and stabbed him multiple times without hesitation until his death was confirmed>managed to defeat the superhero that responded with no training, physical fitness, or proper equipment whatsoever, and upon doing so, eviscerated his child in front of a crowd without missing a beat, whilst shouting that he has the power>has a completely unknown superpowerset, and managed to travel halfway across the country within a week, where the FBI confirmed him to be responsible for several brutal massacres and at least one case of arson>completely vanished from the face of the earth the night before super-backed SWAT was prepared to raid the attic he'd been living in, leaving analysts paranoid he possesses some sort of advanced precognition>is known to be a dangerously deluded narcissist with a messiah complex, repressed sadistic tendencies, and severe autism>is infamous almost everywhere, and could potentially level his notoriety and force of personality into starting a bizarre cult or criminal gangYou're a dangerously loose end, to the point there's a 2.5 million dollar bounty for your capture, and a 1 million dollar bounty for your confirmed death. Their alarm has died down somewhat over the last two months of no activity, but there is at least one dedicated squad attempting to track you down before you inflict a public massacre or start actively dropping superheroes.>>3553822The hairs have thickened considerably, to the point it's no longer patchy and it's grown to a length of almost six greasy and unkempt inches.

Sorry for the delay my guys, but for the last couple of days I've been preoccupied with manual labor normie shit and haven't had as much time to work on the update as I'd anticipated. That said, I've had some and you can expect one immediately after the 60 second timer's finished.
Deep in meditation, whilst aligning your chakras and pondering the nature of ninjutsu you come to a profound realization. Every true warrior to regale the masses in the ancient mythical sagas and the respectful, true-to-source Fate mangas never got there by training alone! NO! They became legend by facing and overcoming legendary foes, and if you wish to join their hallowed ranks, you must do so yourself! The woods of Tennessee are a dark and dangerous place, fraught with perilous threats the filthy, sheltered normies could never hope to comprehend, but truly, such is your modest improvement ferocious might, only one monster in these fearsome woods might prove a worthy foe!You speak, of course, of the humble bear, and while you aren’t sure whether or not the huge “kodaks” those /an/imals went on about in your shitposting days dwell in Tennessee and don’t have an internet connection to find out, a lesser beast should be more than fitting fodder for your first kill. Your first proper one since you recieved your gender neutral non binary trans African ancestors’ gifts anyway; those hoodlums back in Pheonix were barely a footnote on the Hakoge path, and these petty squirrels hardly count for anything but sumptuous soups and stringy meats for supper. Normally, it’d take a true warrior weeks, if not months to stumble through these woods in search of such notoriously rare quarry, but with clever application of gravity redirection, weight shifting, superhuman reflexes, and mundane parkour you manage to uncover what you think are some tracks in barely an afternoon.Only two more days of moronic fumbling unwisely pursuing false alarms go by before one of the trails you’ve been chasing doesn’t run cold. At this point, blending into the shadows is simpler than breathing, and with the corresponding keenness of the senses, the distant grunts of an insomniac ursine preparing for hibernation might as well be the screams of your waifu begging to be rescued from dishonorable rapscallions. A creepy cunning smile crosses your lips as you restrain yourself from unsheathing a spirit blade in favor of drawing a hunting knife, hunching your back, and approaching the sound. Your gender neutral non binary trans African ancestors are always waiting to help, but if you want to truly earn their respect…You must do some things yourself.> Five minutes later…> (1/?)
>>3557782You find the unfortunately black-furred behemoth hunched over a blackberry bush, idly grumbling as it struggles to scrape from its leaves what little sweetness can be seen in these woods. It makes no change in behavior as you come closer, indicating it’s either unconcerned or unaware of your presence, either way, its fate is sealed. When you step out of the shadows and dismiss the impossible swiftness, instinctive balance, and weightlessness that you’ve grown so accustomed to, your full weight comes crashing down but unlike before, you knees do not buckle, your lungs do not wheeze, and in the face of the strain, your mind does nothing but appreciate the exercise.The black bear stays almost still as you painstakingly shift close by its rear, and doesn’t have the ghost of a chance when you burst into motion. >...Three-hundred and seventeen point nine pounds of raging blubber collide against almost five hundred pounds of relaxed sinews without the slightest warning, and by the time the beast’s ears register the wordless howling, it’s already too late. Six inches of serrated steel is buried to the hilt in its neck, sealing its fate even as its flesh-rending claws sweep with the terrified strength only the desperate and dying can know. Such a mighty blow would’ve no doubt left the killer disfigured until the end of his days, had he not lept back without an instant’s hesitation, and brought the staggering monster crashing to the ground with a furious sweep of the legs. Rapidly weakening from loss of blood, the bear struggled to stand, only to be toppled once again by a vicious kick and silenced forevermore by a subsequent stomp to the windpipe.>...Panting from exertion, you stagger back into a nearby tree and sink to sit, trembling hands on stock-still knees, wide-eyes on the monster you’ve slain. Even with your powers, that bear could’ve struck you down with a single blow but in your frenzy, you slayed it in a matter of seconds. No guns, no tricks, nothing supernatural whatsoever, only the cold steel in your fists and the enormous corpse lying before you. This wasn’t like the confrontation with Slim Cricket, no-one saw this, and aside from your gender neutral non binary trans African ancestors, no-one else will ever know. But you do, and that’s more than enough.> (2/?)
>>3557782>>3557784Even with your gravity redirection and weight reduction, actually hauling the carcass back to the cave takes little over half a day of painful exercise but the sight of those pickup trucks, bristling with stolen guns and two months of caked-on moss is all-too worth it. Skinning the bear’s a hundred times easier, but then comes the question… What the hell are you going to do with fifty-seven days of bear meat? You can’t eat it all before it rots, and letting it go to waste would be an abomination. There’s nothing to do but try and preserve it, but how? There’s not a refrigerator in a dozen miles, and even if you were a dishonorabru gaijin bandit, you doubt you could steal enough salt to handle it.You puzzle over the problem for almost an hour before vague memories of struggling to survive iron-age Finland come to you. That game, UnReal World..! It was realistic as hell and there was something you could do to preserve the meat… Smoking! All you need to do is build a smokeshack, and all of your problems will disappear. Hmm, come to think of it, how would that work? It’s not like you have a written guide but, in the game, you had to have some cord for the meat, and of course, there needs to be a spot for a fireplace to make smoke…Hmm… Aha! You’ll make a crude outhouse, but instead of a pit to shit in, you’ll have a fire, and instead of a makeshift seat, you’ll have a spot to hang the meat! Once you’ve devised an inadvisable brilliant plan, you summon a spectral katana, then get to work on some of the thicker trees surrounding the cave. Hours later, you are drenched in sweat and stripped naked to avoid fouling your clothes, but you’ve done it. Your very own poorly constructed, unsafe masterfully built, fully functional smokehouse is ready for use, complete with semi-polished wooden nails.Stringing up the meat takes a bit of doing, but soon enough you have forty-one day’s worth threaded on a spool of rope you’d stolen from criminals in the past. In sixteen days it should be ready, until then, you’ll rely on some of the meat you’ve set aside and what little health food you have remaining. While the bear hunting was a most welcome diversion, you’re ecstatic to return to your regular training routine, and by the week’s end, your singleminded focus of parkour and knife fighting pays some serious dividends.> (3/?)

>>3557828You could attempt to do so, and your level 2 [Carpentry] confers a +1 bonus to [Scrimshaw].
>>3557828Was the bear really that respectable? We killed it in a flash with our OP powerset.
>>3557834Honestly, if we didn't completely get the drop on the bear, we probably would have gotten horribly injured/died. Plus it's not even a meat eating bear.
>>3557834You weren't using your powers at the time, and it's a miracle nothing went wrong.
>>3557850>>3557853Well, yeah, we killed it without our powers, but we snuck up on it with our powers and then tackled it.You know what, let's do it, the bear was OK. We should pray for its soul or something though

>>3557924Support
>>3557924this
>>3557924This
>>3557924Well, then we just waste having looted those guns from our earlier dispensing of justice. Once we start killing off cartel people, we are going to get noticed and will have to relocate ASAP. It’s gonna be hard to fucking do if we bring heroes and law enforcement down on us. And we won’t be able to take the shit with us when we have to relocate either. Your plan will get us noticed, and killed by supers very quickly.
>>3557924Like, at least sell off our fucking loot we already have before you go eviscerating cartel members. Evisceration being our known method of killing in all of our previous activity. If you just vote to go off and start eviscerating people without having sold off our loot, and having an exit plan/bugout strategy in place, you are asking to get put down by the superheroes actively searching for us.
>>3558042not if we dispose of the bodies. The patterns of our crusade has been people cut in half, blood and viscera everywhere and zero cleanup. If we break that trend we can throw the feds off something fierce. plus if we rely on shadows, stealth and intelligent planning then the cops might not even show up.>>3558046also in the grand scheme of things those guns mean nothing really, also think about it from a JUSTICE point of view. These weapons are stolen and probably illegal, so by selling them we are ironically contributing to crime. Granted we could be very poignant in our searches for good honest citizens, but thats a lot of effort for no gains other than money. We can easily recoup any losses in material by stealing from criminals and their hideouts. and theres always the chance that if we were to sell the guns we could be caught in criminal intrigue/be accosted by an undercover cop.tldr; I get the whole thing of maximizing resources and shiet but the guns aren't worth the effort.
>>3558042>>3558046You could always stowaway on a train to another state, slaughter some of the local ne'er-do-wells, then travel back to Tennessee. There's definitely a shit-ton of resources being poured into finding you, but so long as you avoid carrying traceable electronics or staying active in one region for too long, you *should* be fine.>>3558061To be fair, superpowered Hakoge ninjitsu or not, even mundane firearms are dangerous as hell when paired with your shadow manipulation and superhuman reflexes.>>3557924>>3557986>>3558024>>3558039If I'm getting this straight, you want to take care of your sanitary needs, sell the animal hides you've gathered so far to Deborah, carve some training dummies, conceal your innawoods NEET cave, and attempt to enact vigilante justice? All of that's more than doable, but before I start collecting rolls I have a question. Do you want to do that in Tennessee, or do you want to try and navigate to another state first?
>>3558073Fuckit, let’s take a trip to St. Louis and have some fun. Kill some gangbangers, loot their shit, burn their drugs, then fuck off back to our NEETcave in Tennessee.
>>3558085I'll support this
>>3558073Other state, you don't shit where you eat. Let's not go back to where we killed before either, we gotta lay out as confusing a pattern as possible
>>3558061As much as we don’t do this for profit, our ancestors were not retarded Somalians. Sell the guns since we can’t use them, and it’s laughable that you think any backwoods hillbillies from Tennessee would say more than 2 words at a time to law enforcement or cooperate with them. And it doesn’t even take a lot of time out of our week to do so, we go out, locate some hill tribesmen, approach with an offer to sell, get what we can, and then fuck off. These are the type of people who don’t even believe in the federal government, and barely tolerate their own county government.
>>3558090That's fair. Next week then maybe. After we get a new haul
>>3558085>>3558086>>3558087>>3558090>>3558100In that case, do you want to put the gun-running off until your return?
>>3558073I'll support it if we can do something with the bones, preferably the skullmask/helmet thing. >>3558090That kinda extreme hillbillyism is more of a deep in the bayou kinda thing, more often than not those big hill clans have family ties in local government and police.t.backwoods tennessean.
>>3558102May as well get it out of the way now, maybe the funds will come in handy at St. Louis.
>>3558102Put it off until we return with even more guns
>>3558102Lets wait til we return.Also Can we have a vote about what we are taking with us on our trip?
>>3558102How about we take the guns to St Louis and sell them off there. Even better we can use the guns as bait for Enterpriseing criminals

ENOUGH! You have dwelled in these woods for too long, and each day you wait, another thousand crimes, each more unspeakable than the last, comes to pass! The hilly forest you’ve come to call home can wait, millions of normies out there need your help, and “-JUSTICE NEVER SLEEPS!” you cry, falling to your knees as you rage against the heavens. They do not answer, and while slaying the blackened bear pleased your gender neutral non binary trans African ancestors, you know that they are not yet content.No, in your silence you have begun to forget your calling, and that is unacceptable! There’s no doubt a suitable train is leading out of Tennessee sometime tonight, but no matter how fiercely the fires of honorable Hakoge justice enflame your soul, before you leave, some precautionary measures must be taken and petty errands done away with. While the sun still burns brightly in the skies above, you do what little you can to conceal your humble abode. Over the next threes hours, branches covered with leaves are draped over the mouth of the cave, each truck is driven behind a convenient dip in the hills, and the smokehouse is plastered with as much mud and muck as its structural integrity permits.> +2 Survival [6/20]> +2 Stealth [3/10]> +4 Intelligence [11/40]> Your lair and possessions are now [Crudely Concealed]Looking on the end results of your handiwork, even you have to admit it isn’t much, but something is better than nothing and this way, it’s much more difficult to tell someone’s been living here from a distance. When that’s done, you realize that it’s not even noon yet, and you’ll have to wait until darkness falls for the next step of your plan. Frustratedly, then after a second’s thought, gleefully stifling the habitual urge to begin exercising you realize that there’s no reason you couldn’t be making future training sessions easier on yourself.It takes a lot bit of trial-and-error, and admittedly some of the earlier attempts were barely good for kindling somewhat inelegant, but eventually your attempts to carve kung fu dummies like in Kung Fu Panda pay off, big-time. The four log carvings you’ve made might not have articulate joints, but they bare much more than a passing resemblance to the thieves you so fiercely oppose, and they can take a monstrous beating, so long as you restrain yourself to only a fraction of your full power-level. If nothing else, you’ve learned a thing or two, and more than anything, you’re proud of yourself.> +3 [Carpentry] [11/20]> +4 Well-Carved Kung Fu Dummies, (+2 to Unarmed training rolls)> (1/?)
>>3558939Then while you’re still home, you collect the black bear’s skull, sit cross-legged in front of your campfire’s ashes, and begin meditate. You dedicate one hour to contemplating how the fearsome beast must’ve lived, remembering each moment of its death, and thanking it for its passing. It isn’t much consolation but when you rise to your feet, you could almost swear an imperceptible weight leaves your shoulders. Making the mask isn’t so difficult, you simply drill a hole in each side of the jawbone, then thread a length of wire through each in such a way it can be drawn tight around your face. Months ago, it wouldn’t have fit but you’ve lost so much weight toned your muscle so much it’s barely even snug. You’re one-hundred-percent certain that it is one of the most badass things you’ve ever seen and that no-one would dare mess with you while you were wearing it.> +1 [Carpentry] [12/20]> +3 [Skrimshaw] [3/5]> +Black Bear Skull MaskNext comes the trip to Deborah, that filthy roastie who offered to pay you for whatever hides and furs you could bring to her workplace. If you recall, a friend of hers was trying to start some sort of scarf company and needs everything she can get her hands on. No matter, whatever her friend’s reasons, it’s none of your problem, so long as she’ll pay and pay she shall! Or else... You’ll find another buyer and they’ll lose out on your brilliant wares! Honestly, sneaking into a crowded metropolis like Memphis in the middle of the afternoon while carrying a backpack and then some’s worth of hides shouldn’t be so easy, but you’ve got it down to a fine art. So far as you’re aware, not a single pedestrian catches sight of your trenchcoated form and you reach the Hobby Lobby without any serious issues.Once you enter, you’re happy to see that she’s working and there’s no line at her register. She gives one of those fake smiles filthy roasties do when she spots you, and faux-enthusiastically waves you over to talk shop. It quickly becomes clear that, although you are a mighty Hakoge ninja warrior, you don’t know the first thing about driving a decent bargain, and if it weren’t for her pitying impressed generosity, you would’ve been fleeced for all you were worth. You received $10 dollars per squirrel hide and $20 for the young hog’s hide, which your refined ninja instincts falsely tell you isn’t such a bad deal.> +2 Charisma [10/20]> +2 [Barter] [2/5]> +$270 USD> -25 Tanned Squirrel Hides> -1 Tanned Young Hog Hide> (2/?)
>>3558939>>3558941When you leave the Hobby Lobby, it’s thumbing tens of twenty dollar bills with a rare smile on your face. For once in your life, you’ve earned your own money through your own hard work, and nobody can take that away from you. Not mommy charging rent, not the government forced taxes, no-one can make you spend it on anything except what you damned well please, and you wouldn’t part with it under pain of death. It feels good to be financially independent, but perhaps not as good as a nice, hot shower.Finding the same Planet Fitness you snuck into is even easier than last time, and even though the back door’s locked, it doesn’t stay that way with the simple flick of a shadow tendril. Thankfully, nobody else is inside and you’re left to take a twenty minute shower and shave your scraggly neckbeard luxurious mane in peace. The mirror makes you feel ashamed doesn’t reflect your good side and with your martial arts prowess there’s no risk of cutting yourself, so you just do it in the shower stall and clog the drain with your greasy blackish-brown hair leaving a nice surprise for any silly gym wagies. Once you’ve tossed the used razor on the floor and exit the shower room to go about your business, you pause at the sight of a black container behind one of the lockers.You approach with a spectral katana at the ready, then pause at the sight. Seven thickly constructed tubs labeled “GOLD STANDARD: 100% WHEY” have been left, stacked on top of one another, almost as if they were yours to find. Staring at the tubs, memories of troll-posting /fit/fag body-posting threads come flooding in and you recall their constant insistence on ‘putting down the pizza and donuts, and picking up weights and protein powder.’ Hmm, you already have the first part down and you’ve seen some improvements enhancements, so why not try some of whatever this is? If it’s in a gym, it surely can’t do any harm for building muscle.Should probably drop it off at the cave though, and so you embark on another breakneck speed wilderness sprinting expedition. By the time you’ve returned, you think you’ve already gotten a half-decent workout in so you skip out on your nightly crunches and cardio in favor of sorting through your inventory of everything you want to bring.> What do you want to take with you? Keep in mind, while you can carry a shit-ton, there’s only so much space in the trenchcoat’s pockets.> (3/?)
>>3558939>>3558941>>3558945After that, you sprint to the outskirts of Memphis for the third time today, and after some digging around manage to find a railyard with no security save two CCTV cameras on the fenceline that are easily nullified by stepping into the shadows. From there, you take your time sifting through the various options for transportation, and eventually decide to stowaway on a train shipping computer chips to the city of St. Louis, Missouri. When you jump onto the back, you get a profound sense of deja vu, and while you’re hiding yourself among the crates, you begin thinking about everything that’s happened these last few weeks. > (3/?)Besides Deborah, you haven’t spoken to anyone since you’ve left Phoenix, Arizona and you haven’t heard anything from Brett or Martha. Hell, you don’t know if mommy knows if you’re even alive. In the cold darkness of the crates, there’s plenty of time to think about everything that’s happened so far, and as you clench your righteous fist, everything that’s going to happen. There’s no guarantee everything’s going to turn out alright, but after everything your gender neutral non binary trans African ancestors have given you, you owe it to the world to try.> What are your thoughts about these last few weeks in the woods, your powers, and the future?>Date: 11/09/2010>Age: 24>Weight: 317.9 pounds or 144.19 kg>Fitness: - Two glancing pellet-scars in the stomach- Glancing rifle round scar in the stomach>Skills:- Persuasion: 1 [7/10]- Intimidation: 3 [9/40]- Driving: [3/5]- Carpentry: 2 [11/20]- Scrimshaw: [3/5]- Tannery: 1 [9/10]- Survival: 2 [6/20]- Cooking: 1 [1/10]- Sewing: 1 [0/10]- Trapping: 1 [5/10]- First Aid: 2 [3/20]- Stealth: 1 [3/10]>> Shadow Melding/Summoning: (12)- Dodging: 2 [2/20]>> Superhuman Martial Arts: (12)- Parkour: 2 [4/20]>> Superhuman Reflexes: (16)- Unarmed: 1 [0/10]- Knife: 3 [4/40]- All Melee Combat: [N/A]>> Superhuman Martial Arts: (12)- Throwing: 2 [0/20]>> Superhuman Martial Arts: (12)- Rifle: 1 [8/10]>Attributes- Strength: 5 [42/60]>> Weight Reduction: (8)- Endurance: 6 [42/80]- Dexterity: 5 [33/60]>> Superhuman Reflexes: (25)- Intelligence: 4 [11/40]- Willpower: 6 [77/80]- Charisma: 3 [10/20]> Superpowers: 42 (PP)> Mover 8/7: Superhuman Reflexes, Gravity Redirection> Brute 4: On-Contact Weight Reduction> Thinker 6: Superhuman Martial Arts> Stranger 5: Shadow Melding> Shaker 7: Shadow Summoning> Striker 4/Blaster 3: Blade Generation> (4/?)

You lay against the crates, wishing you’d brought a sleeping bag contemplating everything that’s come to pass in these last two months. Only a handful of weeks ago, you were a nobody, a fat, flabby, useless lowly academy student, not even a genin, wasting your potential in the indulgence of frivolous games and fattening unhealthy foods. Mommy did everything for you, she cooked your chicken tenders, made your bed, and washed your clothes, but you didn’t deserve it. you did nothing to earn it. Nothing! You were a waste of life shame on your clan’s name, and if you died to that lowly dealer of drugs in the Crystal Lake Park, the world would’ve been a better place nothing would’ve been lost.But you didn’t die. You took a stand for who you were, and the whole world saw! Your gender neutral non binary trans African ancestors saw! They saw that you were worthy, and they gave you their power! And now, you fight to prove you’ve earned the right to call yourself Ronin, alone against the world! Every day, a million evildoers draw their stolen breath, and so long as you live, you shall strive to end their lives! FOR HONOR! FOR JUSTICE! AND MOST OF ALL, FOR YOUR WAIFU’S SMILE!For the first time since the cradle since the cradle you feel your life has purpose, and you could not be more thankful. That indolent sloth, lazing about on the couch while mommy worked her nails to the bone wasn’t you! That was a walking corpse living a lie, and you were born on that day! On October the Thirteenth, twenty-ten, the world saw who you were, and criminals everywhere doubled over, shitting themselves in laughter feared your name! From the ashes of Slim Cricket arose the one and only RONIN, bringer of the justice that false hero never could!And soon, you’ll be bringing it to the city of St. Louis, Missouri. When your eyes close, your sleep is dreamless and soon you awaken. The air is stuffy, and when you rise to your feet, you see the train’s door is closed. Of course, how could you be so naive!?! The train is in motion, shipping valuable computer components at, uhhh, around fifty-ish miles per hour! They would never leave the cargo freight exposed to the winds! And in doing so, they have left you trapped, at least until their hired hands get to transporting crates...> (1/2)

You pace back and forth, pondering the problem in some detail before your Hakoge ninja warrior instincts, honed by countless hours of high-intensity LARPing wilderness ninjutsu training are stricken by a sudden epiphany. As many thousands of times as your katana’s spirit blades have been folded, it would be disrespectful to dent their edge on anything but the flesh of gaijin piggu filth, and as superior as your spine-shattering, skull-splitting, shin-splintering terrifyingly effective martial arts may be, they’ll most likely prove much less effective against a wall solid steel.Clearly, you must take after Naruto’s example, and know when it is better to hide yourself in the shadows than to strike... But where? The freight is filled with enormous crates, every one of which is going to be meticulously combed over. Merged with the shadows or not, there’s no chance such a bold intruder would go unnoticed by potentially as many as a dozen men! Unless… AHA! That’s the sort of ninja ingenuity that makes your gender neutral non binary trans African ancestors proud!> An indeterminate amount of hours later...The cargo freight’s door slides open with a resounding clang, and you are stunned to see that no less than nine large and imposing transportation workers board. Though they aren’t searching for unpermitted entries in the slightest, they proceed to search through each and every crate with unwavering attention to the slightest detail, and there’s no doubt in your mind that you are about to be found!Or there would be, if you were on the floor.“Mwahahahaha” you whisper ever-so-faintly to yourself, spread eagle and latched onto the ceiling above their heads by no less than a dozen shadow tendrils, able to support your genuinely weightless form with ease. You watch the filthy normies in contempt for some time to verify none of them are attempting to steal any of the computer company’s product, then wrapping some tendrils around your quivering flabs sculpted physique, and having others latch onto them and the ceiling above you, spider-crawl out of the railcar faster than most track runners can sprint in absolute silence.> (1/3)
>>3561870Reaching the ceiling is a simple affair, and as heartstoppingly terrifying fucktastical as the rippling mount of shapeless darkness was, you dismiss the shadow tendrils in favor of sprinting across the tops of the freight-carts on your own two feet. It feels good to get some exercise, and what’s more, you can see thousands of glittering sky-scrapers mere minutes of walking in the distance. Glancing at the sky, you estimate it’s around ten o’ clock or so, and might be raining in an hour or two.> +1 Stealth [4/10]> +2 Intelligence [13/40]The perfect atmosphere for unsanctioned Vigilante work.> How are you going to find the criminal scum in St. Louis?>Date: 11/10/2010>Age: 24>Weight: 317.9 pounds or 144.19 kg>Fitness: - Two glancing pellet-scars in the stomach- Glancing rifle round scar in the stomach>Skills:- Persuasion: 1 [7/10]- Intimidation: 3 [9/40]- Barter [2/5]- Driving: [3/5]- Carpentry: 2 [11/20]- Scrimshaw: [3/5]- Tannery: 1 [9/10]- Survival: 2 [6/20]- Cooking: 1 [1/10]- Sewing: 1 [0/10]- Trapping: 1 [5/10]- First Aid: 2 [3/20]- Stealth: 1 [4/10]>> Shadow Melding/Summoning: (12)- Dodging: 2 [2/20]>> Superhuman Martial Arts: (12)- Parkour: 2 [4/20]>> Superhuman Reflexes: (16)- Unarmed: 1 [0/10]- Knife: 3 [4/40]- All Melee Combat: [N/A]>> Superhuman Martial Arts: (12)- Throwing: 2 [0/20]>> Superhuman Martial Arts: (12)- Rifle: 1 [8/10]>Attributes- Strength: 5 [42/60]>> Weight Reduction: (8)- Endurance: 6 [42/80]- Dexterity: 5 [33/60]>> Superhuman Reflexes: (25)- Intelligence: 4 [13/40]- Willpower: 6 [77/80]- Charisma: 3 [10/20]> Superpowers: 42 (PP)> Mover 8/7: Superhuman Reflexes, Gravity Redirection> Brute 4: On-Contact Weight Reduction> Thinker 6: Superhuman Martial Arts> Stranger 5: Shadow Melding> Shaker 7: Shadow Summoning> Striker 4/Blaster 3: Blade Generation> (2/3)

>deepest lore
>>3562041I mean it could work with any St Louis rich or famous athlete, I just went with McGuire because the baseball bat guy.
The city of St. Louis is a metropolitan cesspit, a testament to mankind’s iniquity, and by Naruto’s own honor you shall see the grotesque maggots infesting its criminal underbelly drawn into the light, even if you must do it from the shadows! There are no doubt an overabundance of drug-dealing scum ruining countless lives within its limits, but before you can spill their tainted blood by the gallon, you must find a hidden sanctum to lay your head to rest. It must be dark and abandoned, a place no normie would ever think to look...And for someone outcast from society for ridding it of its filth, where better than the sewers within which their rejected refuse is stored? You’re so brilliant, one day you ought to write a book to be remembered through the ages, just like Miyamoto Musashi! Finding a manhole takes moments once you’ve arrived in the city itself, and from there, locating a cramped and grimy nice and /comfy/ maintenance closet that looks like it hasn’t been visited in months is easy as eating pie.Next, to ascertain the location of the sorts of low-down ne’er-do-well’s who’d make it their lives business to poison misguided but drug-using and therefore GUILTY innocents to an early grave! It takes a certain sort of someone to extort not-sohelpless people for everything they’re worth, especially when they could get a legitimate occupation, like NEETdom vigilantism! The certain sort of someone who doesn’t have anything to lose. The certain sort of someone who would do business in the slums!BUT WAIT!~That is exactly what they would want you to think, so you should do the opposite, and head straight into the rich part of town, where they no doubt plan to swap their honeyed venoms beneath the cover of opulence! Well, no more, because you are going to tear the veil of secrecy away, then burn it in cleansing flame! Before you begin sprinting through the rooftops, you don the bear skull mask for its sheer badassery, then decide to do the shadow tendril spider-trick to fling yourself from rooftop to rooftop, and it actually works! Holy shit, you’re like spider-man if he wasn’t normie faggot fap-fodder! O-oh this is so fucking awesome, holy shit, if only mommy could see you no-> *TWANG*> (1/4)
>>3562059“NOOOO!” You cry, as your focus slips in the middle of a swing and you are sent crashing to the immaculately tended lawn of a suburban McMansion. The shadow tendrils sweep the grass beside you, then dissipate as you draw breath. Haaaa, that was embarrassing. It’s a good thing no-one was around to see you make such a fool of yourself. Then, the sound of a shotgun racking snaps you out of your reverie, and you realize it is the low-down criminals of St. Louis that have found you.> *CHK-CHK*“H-HO FUCK, DIS MO’FUCKIN’ CRACKA GOT A FUCKIN’ GOAT SKULL!” You spin around to see seven balaclava’d figures staring at you in a mixture of alarm, terror, and slowly growing recognition, as one of the pack, a hetero, non-trans, and heavily melanated individual hefts a baseball bat to you with flawless skill. “HO-LY SHIT, THAT’S DA MO’FUCKIN’ CRACKA OUTTA THAT MO’FUCKIN’ TRIPLE-KILL VIDEO! HO-LY SHIT NIGGA, HO-LY SHIT!” Oh no, they’ve recognized you, and what’s worse, two of the seven seem to radiate the sort of presence you’ve seen only a handful of times before!As each processes the sight before them, the largest of the pack is the quickest to shrug off the shock, and your eyes can scarcely believe it as his height seems to double, his number of limbs triple, and skin darken into a thick, wooden oak. The supervillain grins with splintery teeth, and his voice booms with no less than a kingpin’s authority. “Change of plans Sosa, 'nough'a 'Guire, we’re takin’ doughboy here into the Feds, and makin’ enough bank on the bounty to buy a hundred’a your tee-ball bats.” The man with the baseball bat, ‘Sosa’ scowls, then snaps out of it as a portal opens beside his head.> (2/4)
>>3562059>>3562061From it tumbles what can only be described a spool of crackling plasma, that swiftly coalesces into the form of a levitating, undulating serpent. Another one of the seven starts grinning, “Cool it Slammin’ Sammy, let’s see how fatass here can handle a fistful of the Sun Snake Chamer.” The rest of the group groans, visibly annoyed “C’mon man, that’s the third name change this week.” to which the apparent summoner frowns. “Look, maybe I haven’t been able to decide yet, but that’s not a crime, I just haven’t made up my-”The treeman waves a branchy fist in his face, “Mouth. Closed. Or we’re gonna have some problems… Now cut the chatter n’ square up, ‘fore fat-fuck gets any ideas.” All of a sudden, time seems to slow and you come to the realization that these next few seconds are going to be a life or death confrontation, perhaps the deadliest you’ve had so far. Every one of the seven are preparing to attack with everything they have, but your heightened reflexes give you time to think.> What’s the game plan?>Date: 11/10/2010>Age: 24>Weight: 317.9 pounds or 144.19 kg>Fitness: - Two glancing pellet-scars in the stomach- Glancing rifle round scar in the stomach>Skills:- Persuasion: 1 [7/10]- Intimidation: 3 [9/40]- Barter [2/5]- Driving: [3/5]- Carpentry: 2 [11/20]- Scrimshaw: [3/5]- Tannery: 1 [9/10]- Survival: 2 [6/20]- Cooking: 1 [1/10]- Sewing: 1 [0/10]- Trapping: 1 [5/10]- First Aid: 2 [3/20]- Stealth: 1 [4/10]>> Shadow Melding/Summoning: (12)- Dodging: 2 [2/20]>> Superhuman Martial Arts: (12)- Parkour: 2 [4/20]>> Superhuman Reflexes: (16)- Unarmed: 1 [0/10]- Knife: 3 [4/40]- All Melee Combat: [N/A]>> Superhuman Martial Arts: (12)- Throwing: 2 [0/20]>> Superhuman Martial Arts: (12)- Rifle: 1 [8/10]>Attributes- Strength: 5 [42/60]>> Weight Reduction: (8)- Endurance: 6 [42/80]- Dexterity: 5 [33/60]>> Superhuman Reflexes: (25)- Intelligence: 4 [13/40]- Willpower: 6 [77/80]- Charisma: 3 [10/20]> Superpowers: 42 (PP)> Mover 8/7: Superhuman Reflexes, Gravity Redirection> Brute 4: On-Contact Weight Reduction> Thinker 6: Superhuman Martial Arts> Stranger 5: Shadow Melding> Shaker 7: Shadow Summoning> Striker 4/Blaster 3: Blade Generation> (3/4)

He's definitely one of the most dangerous in the group, possibly moreso than the summoner, but nowhere near tree-man.

>>3564018RIP AND TEAR
>>3564018I kinda want Sosa to survive, because he could probably get on the news and spread the horrific legend of Mr. DIE. Maybe explain it IC as Derek not necessarily wanting to hastily slay someone linked, however tenuously, to his trans-African ancestors out of hand.
>>3564022actually yeah fuck it I like Sosa, lets keep him alive.
>>3564022He betrayed his Trans-African ancestors by becoming trans aryan. He gets the RIP AND TEAR as well.

>>3564041I like to believe that in this timeline Sosa fell on hard times after getting caught juicing, thus he could never afford all the dozens of expensive treaments to MJ himself.

So, should we roll again for the next turn, or have we autistic raged our way to victory?

>>3564082You'll be rolling again after this update, but it's late/early as fuck and the sequel's going to have to be sometime tomorrow.>>3564090Keep awake for another 30-45 minutes for what I've been told is the closest thing >>>/qst/ has to cringe kino.
One day I found out that 8 hours of sleep was the recommended amount that you should get every night. b u t a t t h a t p o i n t m y s l e e p s c h e d u l e w a s a l r e a d y f u c k e d
Swiftly realizing this is the beginning of your story’s next vigilante arc, you draw a trio of kunai from the spirit realm, tip your fedora, and release a hearty chuckle. “You dare to commit such heinous crimes within this city, thinking yourselves to be safe under cover of darkness? FOOLS. I am the night, and soon to be your final sight!” The stark white bear’s skull, contrasted with your spectral blades and solid black attire must be a fearsome sight, for several of the supervillain’s minions flinch, recoiling from your sheer presence-> +3 Intimidation [12/40]Before the streetlights dim, then snap as if shattered, and darkness more profound than even the deepest, moonless night reigns. Those without the heightened senses of the plasma snake and arboreal physiology are left blind, dumb, and deaf to all, save those horrific, unspeakable words to pass your lips-> +3 Intimidation [15/40]“Heh. Never should’ve come here.”> +5 Intimidation [20/40]Only the tree-man’s booming bark heh keeps the rank-and-file from routing, and it is only the phase serpent’s sudden, strobe-like flickering which allows them even the most rudimentary, snapshot, and hazy vision possible. The supervillain’s bellow of “FUCK ‘EM UP!” echoes through the field, and invigorated by their leader’s courage, those criminals with ranged implements attempt to spray you, or where you were, only instants before.> (1/5)
>>3564160In place of your soft, vulnerable sinewy and chiseled flesh lies a massive wall of pure, impossibly tangible shadow. Comparable to steel, it reflects a spray automatic fire back into the motley crowd, winging the pistoleer’s gun-arm, and provides a perfect platform for your parkour to leap upon with impeccably balanced ninjutsu style. Three split-seconds later, three kunai have left your knuckles to fly into the mass, the first sailing into the Sunday special’s throat, the second piercing a hapless rifleman’s heart, and the third, flying straight into Sammy Sosa’s spine-Only to be deflected by a masterful stroke of an ashwood wood baseball bat, guided only by less than a tenth of a moment’s flare. That level of skill is so impressive it causes you to pause for the briefest of moments in admiration, but that time is more than enough, as the slithering monster soars to rend your flesh at the speed of sound! Your martial arts instincts kick in, flinging you into midair not one second before it would’ve melted a hole the size of a dozen fists into your heart! Quick thinking brings a second, much thinner shadow wall between you and the beast, preventing its lightning-fast rebound from immolating your bulk, and reflexes, fine-tuned by more than power alone causes a crude ramp to appear levitating some half-second’s sprint behind you. Entering into a Naruto running stance, you redirect the fundamental force of gravity so that you are flung into its surface as if it were the Earth’s own, and if they could be seen, your motions could scarce be tracked by a slow-motion camera.Needless to say, the summoner is wholly caught off-guard when you land on your feet behind him, and the whisper “Psssh, nothin’ personal kid.” might’ve stopped his heart, were his head not flung from his shoulders by a masterful katana swing no later than the next instant. The portal-spawn then ripples out of reality, ceasing to be and with it, these lowdown bandit’s only source of light. “Filthy gaijin-” You shout, somersaulting to dodge a sawn-off shotgun blast, “You think to oppose me?!?” as a dozen shuriken nick as many arteries of the one who sent it, “The one and only RONIN!?!” sending them falling to their knees, dead before they even hit the ground. “FOOLS, I am the HAKOGE, and I CANNOT be beaten!”> (2/5)
>>3564160>>3564161The sudden, fearless cry of “LE’S FUCKIN’ SEE!” alerts you to a rebar-snapping swing of a gnarled branch in time to backflip onto a shadow sphere, then recklessly leap into the night air, flinging five kunai, none of which do more than tickle the oaken abomination which assails you. Almost twelve-feet and sporting six spindly arms by now, the monstrosity pummels you from the sky with a flurry of furious strikes, any one of which is forceful enough to shatter amassed concrete, let alone your slender spine!If it weren’t for a dozen instantaneous and perfectly coordinated dodges in concert with the plant-beast’s lack of vision, there is no doubt that your life would’ve ended in this moment, but the fates are fickle, and your foe only manages to land a raking blow of thorns on the other side of its scouring claws. Dangerously swift, the spikes slash a ragged wound in your trench-coat, bruising your left shoulder through its fabric, and viciously flaying the left wrist open! As you land on your feet, you push the white-hot pain to the back of your mind, then do a triple flip to land ten paces from where you were, much to the frustration of the tree-man’s crater-pounding fists. You dispel the darkness around your form, then monologue to the yellowed and disbelieving eyes of your second-most dangerous opponent yet.“It appears I may have underestimated you lot… but this… isn’t even my final form…!” Panting for a moment as the wooden monster rips his hands from the once-immaculate lawn, you continue. “I didn’t think I’d have to use my full power so soon… FORGIVE ME SENSEI! REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!” The world around you explodes into motion as the oh-so-dreaded redness consumes your everything, and the inner spark of the summoner’s force is thrust to the forefront of your soul!> Roll 1d20+7 to hold onto that feeling!> +4 for TRUE RONIN, +2 for BLOOD RAGE, +1 for Willpower> (3/5)

Everybody pls stop rolling. You are all further embarassing our ancestors.
>>3564190>4th roll
>>3564173>>3564194Omae wa, mou shindieru!?! Srs tho, anything we get out of bargain-bin groot should go into wood tinkering. If we got that online, our NEETcave lair would be god-tier.
>>3564173how many 1's is that so far from you lol
>>3564200keep him alive to provide infinite crafting material. Don't even go into tinkering with wood, just become a legitimately decent carpenter.
>>3564210Nani, how the fuck we gonna haul his ass cross-country? Too risky, we could go full-on fucking flinstone tier with that kinda power, that’s not something we need to pass-up.
>tfw Derek has lost his ree>but we anons have gained an ascended anger
>>3564216Relax anon, there’s still another log to cut down to size.
>>3564215a lvl 2 tinker could make, like almost nothing good. best just invest the 2 potential PP we could gain into something we already have points in.
>>3564222>222I’ll concede, but goddamnit I want mannequin minions. What power do you think we should improve? I want to see where reflexes goes at tier 10.
>>3564225MARTIAL ARTSARTIALARTS
>>3564227>BIG>DICK>ENERGY
>>3564225I'd be down for that, but I'm autistic about having even numbers, so 1 into gravity redirection, and 1 into Blaster:Blade generation. That's only IF we get them, although with our track record, we'll get none lol.
>>3564225I’m guessing it’ll be spider sense tier at around tier 12-15, but I’m curious if we could reach low level precog at 20. What I really want to invest in is our thinker power. With the higher levels we’ll be pulling off Grappler Baki type shit. Think about it man, we’d be able to use every ancient martial art, forbidden technique, and gutter street style in the real world and anime.
>>3564236I’ll back that.>>3564242Or even better, DBZ IRL
>>3564250>mfw DIE hits tier 20 martial arts and goes golden
>>3564242This does sound cool, but getting gravity redirection to 8 and blade generation to 4 would be really good short term. It would help us survive long enough to get to that tier 20 martial arts Super Goku Naruto Baki Guts tier we want to be.
>>3564257>inb4 bizarre cult>>3564260I think we need to train gravity redirection once we escape, at tier seven it can probably do way more than just wall-running but we’d never know since we haven’t spent any time on it.
>>3564272Learn from the squirrels we hunt and trap in our backwoods hideout. Run straight up a tree in squirrel style. Except more anime and Naruto looking because DIE.
We should get a power too steal anything or trade anything or a form of vampire ism parasite ism
I dont remember but can we save points?
>>3564260UberNEET said in >>3553645 that Hokuto no Ken is somewhat similar to what high-end Martial Arts can do.We could actually kill flying bricks in style.
Again, my apologies for the lack of activity, but this weekend has been busy as fuggg :DD:D and I haven't had much time to update, but all-else permitting, I should be able to squeeze out one or two tonight. Glad to hear you like riding this quest as much as I do writing it.>>3564173DISHONOR! YOU BRING SHAME TO YOUR CLAN! BUT->>3564190I am a merciful god, and shall grant you a +1 to your next [P]ower [P]oint acquisition roll.>>3564200>>3564222If you put the time to the grind, any superpower or skill, or stat for that matter can be dangerous or useful as hell.>>3564225It'd be worth the investment, that much is certain.>>3564236>>3564260>>3564272>>3564283It not be the most flashy power, but Gravity Redirection has an immense amount of untapped, possibly catastrophic potential.>>3564227>>3564230>>3564242>>3564539Superhuman Martial Arts is one of the most effective physical enhancement force multipliers out there, and advanced skill is enough for even an otherwise mundane normie to go toe-to-toe with Brutes at or above their tier, or outright decimate those beneath them. It's also a rare superpower, and usually only [AWAKENS] in those who frequently fought beforehand, or much later in a super's career. Derek's obsession has made him an anomaly, and that makes him dangerous.That, and there are *myriad* paths that can be taken, each one with its own strengths and weaknesses. No two Superhuman Martial Artists are the same, and if you're comfortable with taking a risk here or there, a massive amount of cross-pollination is possible.>>3564490Remember, a random superpower costs 4 PP, a random superpower in a specific category costs 8 PP, and a specific superpower costs 12 PP. Vampirism or Parasitism isn't likely to spring out of your powerset, but it could certainly be bought some time down the line.Anyhow, I forgot to mention, I need you faggotrons to-> Come up with a plan of attack against tree-manRemember, clever maneuvers and tactics can lessen a task's difficulty or confer a bonus.
>>3565478READING not riding, fuck my life.
>>3565478It’s just DIE vs tree man now isn’t it? The mooks have been eliminated?
>>3565503Sammy Sosa is still in the running, but it's too dark for him to make a pitch, and I doubt you'll be running close enough on the ground for him to make a swing.
Something sudden's come up, and I'm going to have to be gone for the next 2-3 hours. Hopefully next week won't be so busy.
>>3565478This is why we brought the laser gun. Tree, meet fire.
>>3565559oh yeah a laster gun and spamming knives while staying away is good
>>3565559>>3565651but limit the lazer fire there is a risk theyy can see it in the dark and this is a time where we can try something liek throwing a saw blade or a round one
>>3565478>tfw somewhere is a hero whose power is to stir coffee, and ONLY coffee albeit regardless of distance>he killed a supervillain by stirring said villain's coffee in his stomach after he drank it causing his stomach to explodeTruly anything is useful with enough practice but let's be real here some powers are dependent on situation
>>3565478 have Ronin run at maximum speed using weight reduction, jump above tree man and summon 4 katanas, as Ronin throws 2 of the 4 katanas in the air he has canceled his weight reduction causing him to fall at a faster rate using this force he forces tree man to the ground and drives the two katanas he has in hands into tree man's wrists, penetrating through his arms and into the ground. Ronin quickly backflips to catch the two katanas he threw up into the air and drives those two katanas into tree man's legs. now, although temporarily, stuck tree man is now vulnerable to the fury of attacks Ronin shall release into him. FACE THE WRATH OF THE ONE AND TRUE HAKOGE REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>3565559Blind them with darkness, emulate our favorite space animes and laser blast tree boy and constantly relocate.
>>3565559Lasers will just light up the dark, which is a bad idea since that’s our biggest advantage.>>3565841But he has six arms anon.My plan:> trip tree-man with shadow tendrils while the rest pin down his hands, and we shoot him in the back of the head with the shotgun point-blank, twice
>>3565913>Lasers will just light up the dark, which is a bad idea since that’s our biggest advantage.Yeah, but he's made of wood. I can't think of anything a laser gun would be more effective on. Perhaps a man made of diesel?
>>3565913>But he has six arms anon.where did it say this?
>>3565923Fine, I just don’t want to waste lasers.>>3565979See >>3562061> your eyes can scarcely believe it as his height seems to double, his number of limbs triple, and skin darken into a thick, wooden oak.
>>3565979Well legs can grab things too. So they're basically arms, right? So that means the head is an arm too since it also can grab things. And the penis can be great for picking things up as well. Thus, six arms.

>>3566350Derek may be borderline unkillable, but you can't let that go to your head. You're only on the high-end of the mid-tier, there are supers out there as powerful compared to the Hakoge today as Slim Cricket was to you pre-[AWAKENING], and this timeline's SWAT is much, much better trained, equipped, and manned than in ours.>>3566351NOT WORTHY ENOUGH>>3566356HONORABLE, but outmatched in near every regard.
>>3566366That’s why we’re serially killing criminal supers to acquire power, as well as hiding out in the woods and training DIE’s body and mind. High end of the mid tier..... damn.....
>>3566366>NOT WORTHY ENOUGHThat's just because none can stand before the great justice of the righteous RONIN! One day Derek is going to accidentally get exposed to either psychedelics or a high-intensity stimulant and even the power of god and anime won't save anything within a two-mile radius around him.

At the influx of power unparalleled, you steel your soul and strive to seize it, only to feel it slip between your fingers! NO! You were supposed to BE the shonen protagonist, and that cannot be accomplished if every single saiyan-tier enhancement vanishes, mere moments before your inner self can grasp it! ENOUGH! You are TIRED of this, and the blood rage that only shot shot your eyes ceases to be, replaced by an incandescent, all-consuming, and relentless HATE which flows fiercer than the fire in your veins!This man, NO, this MONSTER has committed among the gravest of evils, the DISHONOR of breaking into an innocent citizen’s household, without so much as a single SHRED of remorse. Around you, the darkness seems to ripple, while tendrils whiplash across the night sky swifter than lightning, and upon witnessing the oaken colossus rise to his full stature, you come to a profound realization. This is no monster, this is a man-eating beast nowhere near the size of a skyscraper, therefore he is no mere monster, but a KAIJU, and the only way to slay a KAIJU, is to wield the technology to do so!And the only way to wield ANY weapon, is to cast aside your sense of self and BE the weapon! Throwing each of your kunai into the soil to either side of your feet, your hand slides the LAZ0R rifle from its shoulder strap, then primes one of the discs with a soft *hiss*. For this battle, you cannot be the Hakoge ALONE, no, you must accept the power of your future gender neutral non binary trans African descendents, and take on their mantle! Their memory is clear, if you are to vanquish this foe, you must BE the GURREN LAGANN!No cries of fury pass from your lips in these moments, only the opening theme to the anime, and before your bear-skulled visage and against the sound of musical masterpiece, the tree-man is helpless to do anything but stagger back. mumbling empty curses to deaf ears. You are in another place, and as the darkness shatters at the force of your rage, you are the mouthpiece of those who came after.“CAN YOU HEAR IT!?!”“THIS VOICE OF MINE WAS SUCKED EMPTILY INTO DARKNESS!!!”“IF THIS WORLD HAS MEANING TO IT,”“THEN THESE KINDS OF FEELINGS AREN’T FUTILE!!!”> +3 Intimidation [23/40]> (1/??)
>>3566462You aim for the center-mass, pulling the trigger to spray in a single motion. Each projectile is a bolt of flame-sheathed crimson, a storm of techno-future hellfire nothing like the lasers you imagined! Not one misses its mark, and the villain howls in wordless agony as hideous wounds are scorched into his core! Good, let the forces of darkness burn!>*PEWPEWPEWPEWPEW*> LAZ0R Rifle [15/20] remaining“I WAS CRUSHED BY MY LONGING AND HAD GIVEN UP,”“WITHOUT EVEN KNOWING THE COLOR OF THE ENDLESS SKY!!!”>*PEWPEWPEWPEWPEW*> LAZ0R Rifle [10/20] remaining> +3 Intimidation [26/40]When five more blasts flay the bark from his splinters, the filthy KAIJU howls in the desperate rage of a dying animal, then sprints to snap the defunct lamppost behind you with a reckless charge an elephant would struggle to match! But it is to no avail, as you lept through the shadows above his head, dodged both slashes with ease, and turned midair to shoot yet again, not missing so much as a single note in the melee!“I BEGAN TO RUN, BECAUSE MY FEELINGS, EVEN NOW,”“ARE DEFINITELY BEATING AGAINST MY HEART!!!”>*PEWPEWPEWPEWPEW*> LAZ0R Rifle [5/20] remaining> +2 Intimidation [28/40]Four hits this time, three to sear one branch leg so severely its mangled ruin drags the grass, the last to singe the leaves mere inches above his head.

He sprints to grab you, but you might as well cease to exist as he ineffectually faceplants and you slide between his legs, hefting the weapon to disc-dump straight into the acorns.> (2/??)

He approaches, howling his defiance in the face of death, but he is only met by scorching bolts of doom and a reverberant chorus of disdain!“I’VE COME THIS FAR, HAVING CHASED ONLY AFTER YOUR BACK!!!”“IT’S SOMETHING ONLY I, WHO SOUGHT YOU, CAN DO!!!”> *PEWPEWPEWPEWPEW*> LAZ0R Rifle [15/20]> +1 Intimidation [37/40]The charging tree-man uproots a dozen paces of topsoil trying to tear you apart, crying “MAKE IT STOP, MAKE THE PAIN STOP!” but you simply slide to the side, grit your yellowed teeth, and prepare the next line.“THOSE WORDS YOU GAVE ME THAT DAY, EVEN NOW,”“DEFINITELY REACH MY HEART!!!”> *PEWPEWPEWPEWPEW*> LAZ0R Rifle [10/20]> +1 Intimidation [38/40]> (3/??)
>>3566462>>3566465>>3566467At this point, the KAIJU is riddled with gaping holes and bleeding enough sap to fund a syrup distillery for weeks, but his tear-choked cries of pain do less than nothing to move you. “NOOO! NOOO! NOOOOO!” Rending the picket fence where you were just crouched, only to come up with empty hands and another five red-hot beams gouging into his back sends him into hysterics, but you simply do not care. “PLEASE NO!

>>3566462>>3566465>>3566467>>3566468Almost every inch of his form is charred black or burning embers, and he spasms in agony, but manages to turn to face his foe. The cracked face, slowly shifting into maimed flesh spits out an appeal to mercy. “Good g-god man, I have kids... you can’t- you c-can’t just-” Pausing for the briefest of moments, you grimace, spit on the charred dirt, and fire, for he forsook them when he took on a life of crime.“THE ME OF TODAY WILL CONTINUE TOWARDS OUR DESTINATION,”“WE’LL AMASS OUR OWN TOMORROWS!!!”> *PEWPEWPEWPEWPEW*> LAZ0R Rifle [5/20]> +0 Intimidation [0/60]The supervillain is almost dead, and while the darkness gives way around you, the half-man, half-wood abomination stares into the barrel of the LAZ0R rifle, weeping and mumbling prayers to a god that doesn’t answer.
