    Darius was just exiting the stairs when a bolt of current hit him in the chest.

    "The hell was that?!" he screamed, looking for the source of the blast. Another one zapped him on his hand while he was holding a knife, reading a throw. "Dio di quel-" he groaned, getting hit by a third bolt. "Whoever are you, show yourself! I'm tired of getting hit by things that I can't see!" 

    As the fourth bolt came towards him for an hit in the guts, he dodged and threw a knife to a suspiciously dim lit lamp and shattered it, stopping the attack. "I have seen some weird fuckery in the last months, but this beats them all" he said to himself, inspecting his "attacker" "Well, I've got to get going".

    "Of course I have a suggestion. You all sit back, and let me handle this.  You're just going to get in my way again."

     "Aaand, she just dashes out. Well, I guess I should try to follow her." Darius mumbled, after sighing and rubbing his eyes in disbelief "She should really take some lessons in teamwork"

    Running towards the stairs and sliding down the handrail, he tried to go as fast as he could to reach his teammate that now was already downstairs and had an advantage of a couple minutes on him, while thinking what would take tomake her cooperate with the rest of the Titans. "After all, strenght should be in numbers" he tought, while keeping his guard high, just in case the person or people that cut of the power decided to attack him.

    "What? Ah, codenames, this means serious shit" said Darius as he woke up "Ok, let's just not make too much noise. I'll go get my equipment and then I'll go wake up Nano and Diviner. Let's meet up here when you've gathered the others."

    Trying to not trip over stuff and with a torch in hand, he made his way to his room, changing in his uniform chlothes and putting on protections and gadgets. There was something wrong in his home and he was going to find out what. He set his goggles to night vision and went out of the room, knives in hand, and set out to wake the others.

    "So, Darius. Those were some pretty sweet moves back there. On your part. Where'd you learn how to fight?" 

    "Well, I picked up most of it trying to fight street thugs in Seattle, the rest is all self taught. You don't need that much skill to throw knives around." Said Darius, picking a cookie up "But I don't understand how I am the most interesting of the group. You know, between everyone here, I am the most boring one. We are in the same team as a living storm, a clairvoyant, a japanese demon girl who almost older than me and you combined, THE LITERAL SON OF DEATH HIMSELF and you, who are mostly made of nanomachines; I am only a guy who throws shit real hard..." now reaching for another one " By the way, nice cookies! You have to teach me how to cook sweets, I'm only good with salty stuff." 

    "I would like a piece of that crab leg myself, miss Hinata."

    "Excuse me, Miss Siren, but I don't recall asking anyone if they'd like a piece."

    "Aw, come on Hinata, it's not like you'll eat all of it. It's a 8 feet and a half crab leg that is wider than both my arms, I'll need around 400 grams of it and I think she won't eat more than 200.  I think that cutting off 600 grams from 13 pounds worth of crab meat won't make much difference."

    "Come on i fili mou, cheer up, we made it out alive and so did the sailors. Mission accomplished." 

    "Elijah's right, let's just cool down" Darius said, throwing his trenchcoat on the hanger "There's no need to start a fight. We've been together for more than half a year, we should have settled this by now!"

    Heading for his room, he started unlatching his protections and holsters and went in it to take a quick shower to wash the saltwater away. After putting on some dry chlothes and coming out said "Ya know, after all this fuckery, I feel a little bit hungry. Is there anything to eat?" trynig to change the subject.

    "Ok! Well! It's no use mopin' around. I'm gonna go bake some cookies. Who wants?"

    "Man, forget the cookies... We're off duty now, right? Can't we like, crack open some beers or something?"

    "Yeah, I think we can. Everyone's cool with it? By the way, if Hinata leaves me a part of her crab leg, who'd like some crab ravioli for dinner? I know a nice recipe and I think we have all the ingredients here!" Darius asked, approaching the little group that was gathering in the kitchen "Elijah, could you give me some help?"

    • Hair: Gunmetal Gray, undercut.

    • Eyes: Grey-ish green.

    • Clothing:

      • Casual: When not in costume, Darius usually wears leather jackets over t-shirts, jeans and leather boots. Plain and simple. While he doesn't always wear them, he also has a pair of his "HUD Goggles" made to look like aviator sunglasses.

      • Uniform: Darius wears a metal-plated trenchcoat over a kevlar shirt and a pair of kevlar trousers, as well as a pair of boots, his signature pair of goggles, two knife holsters on his hips and a belt with a set of various items used as throwing weapons.

    ABILITIES

    • Powers:

      • Firearm Expertise:  Thanks to his college studies and personal experience, Darius knows how to use, block, assemble, and disassemble almost every human firearm.

      • Kinetic Energy Infusion ("Bullet Throw"):  As his main superhuman ability, Darius can infuse any thrown object with any quantity of kinetic energy, making it an improvised bullet that can pierce and/or shatter just about anything.

      • Superhuman Agility ("Marksman's Dodge"):  Paired to his main ability is an extreme agility and dexterity, making him almost impossible to be catched or shot.

         

    • Equipment:

      • Analytics Goggles ("HUD Goggles"):  Darius has developed a pair of bulletproof goggles that give him environmental informations (such as wind speed) as well as his main body analytics.

      • Hardened Throwing Knifes ("Impact Knifes"):  Darius always carries around a set of carefully engineered titanium-carbon knifes, made to resist to any impact.

    PERSONALITY

    • Darius is a very "classic grunge" type of guy (think about Dave Grohl's personality): he is a nice guy with a lot of attitude. He is almost always calm and calculative, but when he looses temper he just flips.
    • He is a music enthusiast and prefers befriending people with the same music tastes as him. He also is a talented singer and plays a bass guitar and is in an endless research for people to form a rock band.
    • Due to his venetian origins, he usually mixes words or entire sentences (wich are mostly insults) in venetian dialect with his normal speaking. This happens more regularly when he's angry.
    • He is never afraid of saying his opinion and will do anything to support his point of view.

    HISTORY

    Spoiler

    • Anything before age 18: Darius's parents and a very young Darius emigrate from the Venetian region in Italy to Seattle looking for work there; nothing really interesting happened there until his 18th birthday.

    • Age 18: (Two weeks prior the end of the last school year): After almost tearing down a tree with a small rock, he realized that he had the power to make anything he threw more powerful than a bullet. He studied his powers, learned to (somewhat) control them and found the most useful way to use them: becoming a vigilante in his spare time with an area spreading out after a while to all Freemont district.

    • Age 19: Darius gets in college, studying forensic science at the Seattle University. In the meantime, he started working on his first prototype of the "HUD Goggles" and Unshatterable Knives.

    • Age 21: After being observed by the JLA, they approached him on his birthday to offer him a spot in their Titans Program; an offer to which he responded with an "I'll think about it" and forgot about for a while. Along with this, he completed his Goggles and Knives, starting an active vigilante activity in almost all Seattle.

    • Age 26: After graduating from college, he contacted the JLA, ready to take part to their project.

     

    SAMPLE

    Spoiler

    (All the expressions written in italics are in Venetian)

    "This is what is going to happen..." Darius said, while reaching for a knife "You either leave her and her bag now, or you get your head nailed to the wall with this", now pointing at the thug's head with it. 

    The man broke up in laughter; how could a teenager with a stupid knife threaten him, a man in his fourties, twice as big and with an handgun. "Alright kid, I'll make you a deal. How about I carve a good ole hole in your head and I keep the bag AND your wallet? I bet you don't have as much as I'd wish, but I guess it's better than anything..." Said the man, chuckling and pointing the gun at the boy's head. In that exact moment, he infused the knife with a little bit of energy, just enough to break the gun, and threw it aiming for the barrel, crunching it on impact. 

    "As I was saying, leave her or I'll crucify you, muso da mona!" reiterated Darius, taking another knife. 

    Seeing him reach for another knife, the thug dropped the bag and the gun, released the woman and ran. "Cori zotolo! And don't come back!" Darius shouted, as he handed the bag to its owner and disappeared between the alley as she thanked him.

    I just realized I didn't do this back when I got on, so here it is. Most probably, almost no one here would know who I am; 

    So, let's just get on with it: I'm just a guy from The Boot (also known as Italy or the place where pizza was invented) that enjoys making cards (MtG and YGO), playing videogames and recently got into TTRPGs an RPs. I got on the AGM team almost a month before YCM exploded into nothingness for a couple weeks, so I really have just done only one AGM prompted archetype.  I'll stuck around for as long as I can

    2 level 8 DARK monsters
    You can also Xyz Summon this card by using a Dragon-Type "Evilswarm" Xyz Monster you control as the Xyz Material, other than "Evilswarm Terminus Dragon". (Xyz Materials attached to that monster also become Xyz Materials on this card). This card can't be destroyed by battle by monsters  with a zero in the decimal position of their ATK or DEF . Once per turn: You can detach 1 material from this card; change all monsters with a zero in the decimal position of their ATK or DEF to defence position, then, until the end of this turn, all monsters you control deal Piercing Damage while attacking a defence position monster. 

    I made this one because I felt like that Evilswarms didn't have a real boss monster liike other DT archetypes, that have one big guy that commands their tribe/army. Also this is technically the polar opposite of Ptolemy M7 (being this the one ruler behind the Lswarm and M7 the sum of all constellars).

    "OUT OF MY WAY!"

    Name: Nathan "Nate" Campbell

    Age: 17

    Gender: Male

    Appearance: 

    Spoiler

    BRCbBkd.jpg

    Height: 1.86m/6'1ft

    Weight: 75Kg/165lb

     

    That's Nathan. He always wears black and white clothes. His favourite match is a leather jacket with underneath a long-sleeved white shirt, black jeans and black (or sometimes gray) boots. He never really tries to cover his mark because of where it's located, but, surprisingly, no one never noticed it. His dueling equipment is comprised of a red and black Duel Gazer for outside duels and a black dueling disk that resembles a Pteranodon's wing.

     

    Personality:

    Spoiler

    Nathan is the most unhinged and angry guy in the whole universe, and hates every corner of it. He knows that people can't stand him and doesn't care enough to fix that; from the outside you could almost say that he likes being a total douchebag. In reality he does this because he thinks that anyone who gets close enough eventually dies, as destiny has proven to him many times. 

    All the stuff that happened to him in his life prior to the experiments gave him a pretty cinic and nihilist outlook on life and, thanks to this, he developed a self-distructive behaviour: he doesn't care about risks, he's all about overcoming the challenge, even if it would mean him dying. Then the experiments came in and turned things for the worst.

    While being an unstable ball of hate anger, Nate has a moral code: never hurting anyone who doesn't deserve it. Also, all this "Signer Shenanigans" gave him a bit of hope for the renewal and redemption of Hearthome.

    Biography: 

    Spoiler

    Nathan was born in Hearthome from two normal people that abbandoned him. He can't definetly remember the names or faces of his parents, nor knows or wants to know if they're alive. He was raised by a group of "outcasts" living in the underground of the city since the age of 4 and grew up caring for himself and no one else. 

    After some time, a local gang raided the "shelter" that he and his friends lived in because one of them had stolen some food from one of their warehouses to give it to the others that lived there; no one survived, other than him of course. Years went by and he grew up hating the society that he lived in and the outer government that didn't make anything to fix the situation. When he then reached the age of 13-ish years, he started to notice strange people following him around the districts he roamed in search for something to eat or some cards for his deck. A couple months after the first guy appeared, three guys in a black suit appeared out of nowhere: they said they were from Domino City and they were there to take him to a better place. 

    "A better place, huh"

    Right after that, they grabbed him and took him to their car without asking him or saying anything else to him and brought him to their lab. Next thing he remembers he woke up in Satellite surrounded by scientists and with a mark that looked like a dragon's hand on his right hand's palm.

     

    Deck:

    Spoiler

    Evol

    Nate uses a pure Evoltile/saur/zar deck and he's able to just swarm the field with big bad Dinosaurs/Dragons in no time. He also plays some rank 4 through 6 Xyz monsters to just stomp people with an enormous board.

    Duel Dragon: Evolzar Solda

     

    Miscellaneous: 

    Spoiler

    Theme | Duel Theme | Duel Dragon Theme

    - He can see all three of the Evolzar dragons' duel spirits; they act as the rappresentation of his instinct (Dolkka), self-control (Laggia) and rational thinking (Solda).

    - He enjoys classical and (you would have never guessed) metal music. He uses one to keep himself at bay and the other to just get on and fight.

    - He likes Classical and Neoclassical art and sculpture

    Continuous Trap

    Whenever your opponent would inflict you effect or battle damage: roll a 20-sided dice, then apply the right effect:

    -Lower than 10: your opponent takes the damage you would take divided by 10 minus the result instead (rounded up).

    - 10, 11, 12 or 13: you don't take that damage.

    - 14 or more: continue damage calculation normally.

    Spoiler

    Lucas is tough and cocky. VERY cocky. He tends to make little to no friends and hardly laughs or cracks jokes in public. He has this habit of having always one of his headphones on with music, even when people are talking with him. He's not a nice guy on first impact and always other people tend to stay away from him. In reality, he is more or less friendly and enjoys the company of people with similar interests.

    Contrary to what anyone might think, he doesn't like the ones who oppress and abuse other people and he always steps in to defend anyone who is in need, but always turning down any form of reward and getting away as soon as posible. Also, he always gets in fights to defend others or stand his ground and comes out (sometimes) unscratched thanks to his wit and ability in hand to hand combat.

                      

                        Biography:                  

                    
    Spoiler

    Lucas was born in Japan from his two Welsh parents that moved there in search of a job in electronic engeneering. They both had quirks related to energy (his father had an electricity-based quirk and his mother had an electromagnetic-based quirk) and they were a bit surprised when he discovered his light quirk, but they nevertheless helped him understand it and to not overuse it.

    He always was a loner and never had many friends and his life hasn't been really interesting up until his 14th birthday. Yes, he has always been a smart kid and has never missed a concert of his favourite bands, but he never dreamed to become a hero; instead, he just wanted to be a musician. But then, his parents decided to send him to UA, a school he has always heard of (and never thought he could enter) and his aspirations changed drastically. 

     

                        Quirk:                 

                    
    Spoiler

    Name: Prism    Type: Emitter

    Lucas can emit colored (at his choice) light from everywhere on his body, but the intensity of the emission is proportional to the surface that emits it, meaning that while he can light himself up like a lightbulb, it wouldn't be so intense, but he can still fire a laser beam from his hands. 

    This is enabled by special bioluminescent cells scattered around in his body, with which he can regulate the amount of light that he can emit. Also, those cells can charge up when hit by light sources and store energy, but not all light sources are as good as others in doing this (e.g: a streetlamp gives more energy than a flashlight but less than real sunlight).

    He, however, isn't immune to this light, so he needs to protect his eyes in some way to avoid blinding himself.

    -He has a million of band t-shirts and he wears a different one everyday.

    Weight: 75Kg/165lb

     

    Personality:

    Spoiler

    Smart, Easily distracted, Calm. These are the words that better descrive David's personality. He's always a bit moody and isn't easily entertained, but when you get to know him better, he's really friendly. There is only one thing that he hates: bullies; if he hears a threat, even a small one, said to him or one of his friends, he will try to stand his ground (almost always with a neutron star in his hand) as a deterrant. One thing he's always liked is astronomy; he could name to you every known star in the galaxy and every visible constellation. In his free time, he tries to keep himself updated with recent astronomical discoveries or he listens to music.

     

    Biography: 

    Spoiler

    David's parent's emigrated from Greenwich when he was 13. He has always been an introvert boy and didn't have many friends back then, so leaving his homeland wasn't a big problem. His father worked in the University of Greenwich an his mother in the Greenwich Naval Museum and while she was quirkless, he had an Energy Containment quirk. He discovered his quirk at the age of 6 and his father helped him contain and control it (after some, "happy accidents").

    His parents always told him to gain the upper hand with his brain, not with his abilities first, because there always could be a situation where his abilities won't work. They also always thought him to respect anyone and to not take advantage of who is weaker and that if someone needs help, it should be given to him.

    After the moving, he studied Japanese and studied in a school near his home and then, at 14 years, he joined the UA.

     

    Quirk:

    Spoiler

    Name: Starstruck            Type: Emitter

    He has small scale astrokinesis, meaning he can form miniature (and not so miniature) stars and manipulate their energy. Basically, he's a small fusion reactor on legs, but without most of it's destructive power; but still, he can litterally throw small stars that he can generate at anyone or just fry anyone with a cosmic ray. Obviously, the bigger the star (or anything star-related) gets, the more energy it requires and the more he would get tired; this means that a big enough energy output would kill him.

     

     

    Miscellaneous:

    Theme | Battle Theme

    -his surname, Messier, comes from the Messier Catalogue, invented by the french Charles Messier.

    -He listens to A LOT of metal and hard rock music.

    -It could seem like he's not listening. He is, he's just doing other stuff to not get bored.

    -Despite the fact that both his parents are british, he's both of french and italian descent.

    -He can speak a near-perfect Japanese, but sometimes speaks in english because he's too focused on what he's doing and doesn't remember that he's not in Britain anymore.
