Outro Song: "Infinity & Beyond" by Emi Jones, Ft. Silvia Hound


Introduction

With Sonic defeated, Eggman's army quickly took over. Within six months, all but a few isolated areas in the world were under their control. Despite the overwhelming odds, a rag-tag Resistance formed banding together to continue the fight.

But this is not the story you probably know.

This is the story of how just one small part of the Resistance came together during that time. How a small, ragtag group of anthropomorphic animals came together, took up arms, and fought their way to keep the last glimmers of hope alive. It all began at the start of the war, in Grand Metropolis...

DAY 0 - 14:47

Egg Fleet - Flagship "Final Fortress"

latest?cb=20150507190434

“Hoo ho ho ho! I’ve waited a long time for this!” The good doctor maniacally chuckled as the Egg Mobile brisked along the corridor of his flagship, only being illuminated by the dim ceiling lights rushing past. He had done it, or well, that edgy-masked jackal Infinite had. Eggman didn’t want to admit it to anyone, but he did feel mighty jealous that he wasn’t the one himself to conquer the blue blur.

 

A series of seven thick-plate metal doors disengaged their locks, each one more complex than the last until the last one sprung open.

 

The bridge was a spotless stainless steel semi-circle filled with computer banks manned by egg pawns, a central console for himself, and thick transparisteel windows giving a magnificent view of the heavily armored front bow of the ship and the battle group escort amongst the clouds. Cubot and Orbot, the doctor’s two miniaturized lackies, where shaking around on the central control console in their retracted cube and orb states respectfully, until Orbot’s cyan photoreceptors picked up the doctor’s enlarged figure dismounting the Egg Mobile in a triumphant manner.

 

“Uh--Hey boss.” “Yea, Hello Boss.” The pair popped up from the shells and extended their limbs, holding them cautiously as if they were avoiding any sudden movements.“Eh? What's wrong with you two? Have you been snooping in my browser history, AGAIN?” he scorned, marching ahead and slapping his gloved right hand down onto his rotating captain’s chair. It didn’t feel right, however: it was heavier. Someone had the gall to sit in Eggman’s seat, but who could it be?

 

“I’m rather… disappointed, Doctor.”  The console chair slowly rotated around, revealing the greyed silhouette of Infinite cradled in the oversized, plush cavity. “I-Infinite. What a surprise. Uh, how exactly did you get in here?” Eggman could feel the unnerving chill go down his spine as Infinite hopped out of the command chair, as he gave to everyone with that creepy one-eyed mask. Despite having a genius intellect, even the doctor wasn’t sure if he was more intimidating that Shadow when that up-close.

 

“That was far too easy, Doctor.” The jackal proceeded to encircle the doctor, ramping the tension in the room. “You said Sonic would be the greatest opponent I would ever face. But it was a farce after you had several replicas to soften him up.”

 

“Oh-hohoho... Wait, did I?” Eggman gave an awkward pause, realizing that hamfisting his words at this juncture was not a good option, carefully formulating a response. “Well, it’s better to be overprepared than underprepared, I always say.”

 

“Boss, you’ve always had the superior numbers and equipment every time you tried to conquer the world, and yet Sonic was always able to beat you,” Orbot interjected, leading to Infinite giving a snarky chuckle. “Brah, silence you two pesky-bots! Why did I ever make you in the first place?”

 

“Ooh! Ooh! I know, I know this one Boss!” Cubot dopily slapped the side of his chassis, scrambling his memory circuits to recall a recording of the day. “Now, I want plenty of ham on my sandwich - the evil kind - and extra mustard - BUT NO PICKLES!”

 

Eggman had no other words for the embarrassing idiocy, slapping Cubot aside before performing a classic facepalm. “Ugh. That was rhetorical, you moron.”

 

“I can taste your fear, Doctor. But, relax… I have no desire to destroy you. In fact, with Sonic disposed of, you have nothing to run away from anymore.” Infinite reassured Dr. Eggman, in what little matter of respect that remained confined behind his mask. In truth, as a mercenary, he knew that flattery always greased the wheels of payment. Eggman slouched a little, totally buying Infinite’s reassurance. “Thank goodness.” Recomposing himself, Eggman moved onto the business at hand. “So, now that that irritating blue blur is out of the way, nothing can stop the Eggman Empire. And you, Infinite, my good chum, will lead the army to glory!”

 

“Very well. More ants to crush, and I so do enjoy crushing people under my foot. I will prove to the world that I am undefeatable, once and for all. Who knows, maybe it can still spit out a worthy challenge.” Infinite would have continued to monologue all day, but thankfully Eggman bought up some courage to interject.

 

“Okay, okay, I get it. Doom, doom and MORE doom. Now, gather around everyone!” Infinite was quickly surrounded by every single Egg Pawn in the room abandoning their control stations, observantly awaiting their orders from their glorious, egg-shaped creator.

“Now, with Sonic out of the way, we can start the full invasion for the Eggman Empire. Our first objective is here: Grand Metropolis! I need HEXAeco’s Power Plants to power the armada, and for something… special.” Eggman twirled his extravagant mustache a little with those last words, and a sinister grin perched below it. But despite the dramatic flair, his bots just began to look at each other cluelessly, while Infinite stood recused in the middle with his single yellow eye gazing upon the doctor.

Eggman put on that signature move of his, raising his right arm and opening his palm as a sign of command, while he placed his left hand on his hip.

“Now, what are you waiting for? Send in the Eggman Fleet! CHARGE!”

Cyrus the Hedgehog - Void

Spoiler

Name: Cyrus the Hedgehog

Age: 24

Gender: Male

Species: Mobian Hedgehog

Appearance:
Spoiler

3QqTQRz.png

 

 

Personality: Cyrus is a self-contained individual, indifferent of most people around him, and doesn't desire that much to be satisfied, making him hardy against temptation. He is likewise capable, intelligent and efficient in his mannerisms, and keeps a good thought spare for self-motivation at all times. While he might not be the most sociable hedgehog around, Cyrus will engage with others and attempt to be fun with various degrees of success.

 

Cyrus does have a temper, and if provoked can become particularly ferocious. However, he will often quickly “burn out” from this and immediately regret his actions, leaving him in a vulnerable state. Things that can provoke his temper include frustrating electronics, making fun of his fur color or constant pestering.

 

Cyrus seems to open up more to Wisps then other Mobians, sometimes offering portions of his lunch to the wisp powering his Wispon after completing a task, or playing with them during his free time. On the opposite end, Cyrus has a moderate distrust for humans; an interpretation created from the consequences of Doctor Eggman and his
badniks on his early life.

 

Background: Cyrus is an ordinary mobian hedgehog, who was born and raised up in a small, hardy village within the confines of what would become Rail Canyon. It may have been very dusty, tough to farm, and a little lonesome at times, but it was a good home. Cyrus was always tempted by the idea of leaving for greener pastures from what entertainment he could pick up on an old, boxy CRT television.

 

However, he would not take the leap without a big push from the Badniks. At just Seven years old, Neo Metal Sonic (in the guise of Eggman), would command the Eggman Army to militarise the entire canyon. Within weeks, his home village had been putrefied by toxic chemicals produced by the construction work, leaving Cyrus and many other people bitterly ill. By the time the village decided to evacuate, the poor hedgehog had lost all color in his skin, and his fur permanently stained a dark cyan color.

 

Cyrus and his family were finally re-settled in Grand Metropolis after a couple of months of hopping about between towns and villages, where he continued to grow up and eventually went to college. Cyrus earned a degree in muti-energy based engineering after four years of study.

 

He used his degree to become an engineer for HEXAeco’s Power Plant complex in the heart of the city, earning enough rings to afford a small apartment of his own, looking out across the skyline. To him, it was just like his fur: It may have not been the type of green he had dreamed of, but it would do.

 

Just a shame that Eggman was going to wreck it all again.

 

Powers and Abilities:

  • Knowledge - Energy Engineering: Cyrus studied engineering during college, specializing in energy generation and transference. This includes some knowledge about the ubiquitous Chaos Energy and exotic “Hyper-go-on” power.

 

Equipment:

  • Lightning Wispon: Created by HEXAeco, the Wispons are common Gadget-like devices that utilize the “Hyper-go-on” energy of wisps who chose to resettle on Earth after Planet Wisp was freed. His Wispon, powered by Ivory Wisps, was originally just for welding and jump-starting electronics. With modification, it can be used to launch whips of electrical energy in a frontal, and lock-on to a line of rings and drag Cyrus through them (much like Sonic’s Light Dash).
  • Backpack: Cyrus wears a blue backpack, carrying tools and equipment essential for his work.
  • Reinforced Boots and Gloves: Cyrus’ matching boots and gloves are heavy-duty, heavily insulated and reinforced with metal tips to protect himself.
  • Hard Hat: While not a stylish accessory, Cyrus wears a yellow hard hat while at work to protect his head from falling hazards.

 

Weaknesses:

  • Normal Hedgehog: Unlike Sonic & his friends, Cyrus is just a normal mobian hedgehog trying to live a normal life. Without exposure to Chaos Energy, besides the usual background dosage found in the world, Cyrus doesn't have any kind of ability unique to him.
  • Bleached Skin & Fur: Exposed to toxins produced by the militarization of Rail Canyon by Neo Metal Sonic, Cyrus’ fur and skin were permanently made green and white respectfully. This makes him stand out, unable to hide in plain sight or in a crowd.

      This is more or less the entire old OOC from YCM. Will see about adding in the character stuff later. Also note that not all the information is quite accurate atm but I wanted to keep it as true to what it was (I did remove a few things though).
      Well, didn't add the character stuff but hey, don't need that anymore! RP Completed.

      This is a spiritual successor to my Titans: Legacy RP: hopefully I'll correct some of the mistakes I made in hosting this time around.

      a young avengers-inspired roleplay
      char 1 char 2 char 3 char 4 char 5 char 6 WHAT WE FOUND THERE...
      Extraordinary individuals on Earth have existed since the beginning of recorded history, or even before then. As long as man has looked up at the stars and wondered what higher powers exist out there, there have been a select chosen few who can bridge that gap. Gifted with powers, whether supernatural, technological, alien, or simply exceptional among humanity; they have rode the crest of the wave of history, shaping it at every turn... whether for good or for evil.
      Over the last few centuries, as the modern geopolitical sphere solidifies, so does the culture of superheroes. Multiple groups arise, each one policing their corner of the globe, trying to stay disentangled from the worries of the rest of the world. There are so many, in fact, that it took a few days before the full picture came together one hot summer day in 2018.
      Seven young heroes, vanished into thin air. And when they return, the stories they tell will only be overshadowed by the secrets they keep...
      GUIDELINES
      Please read and understand NCM and section rules before posting.
      You have creative freedom when making your character, but please remember that GM word is final, and you may be asked to change things if deemed necessary. There's a fine line between over-the-top and just plain silly: I expect you to know where that lies. I won't be restricting your potential powers, but please be reasonable and consider how your character's abilities will work in the context of an RP.
      (Note: Characters with a "cosmic" origin or power source, ex. aliens or Green Lantern-esque heroes, must be cleared by me prior to applying, and will be held to greater scrutiny.)
      Being accepted into this RP means that you are committed to seeing it advance. If you end up falling inactive, you may be dismissed from participating. When posting, please let at least two people go before you before posting again; and aim to post at least once a week. If for some reason you'll need to be inactive for an extended period, please let the hosts know so they can write around your absence.
      As of right now, I only want one character per player. If you are competing for a particular position against another applicant... well, tough. I'll pick applications based on how I think the characters will overlap and interact with one another--we're following the trope of Superhero Speciation. Finally, six characters max will be on the Young Guardians, meaning I'll only accept five other players.

      timeline
      This is by no means a complete history: feel free to expand on it in your app. (Please forgive my poor attempts at Google Translating Russian.)
      1900's While empowered individuals as a concept have existed since the dawn of time, the idea of costumed villains and vigilantes only became culturally widespread with the advances of the 20th century.1940 The "Golden Age" of superheroics begins a year into the Second World War: this was when heroes were deployed to the front lines for the first time as tactical ultimatums. The war ends with a two-pronged attack. The French Légion de la Gloire and the British Division 10 moved in the Western theater, and the Soviet красные знаменосцы (Red Pennants) and American Sentinels took the East. Notably, this avoided the nuclear bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Rather, the trigger for the Axis' surrender was when a Soviet hero named Огненное Знамя (Fiery Banner) went insane and razed the city of Dresden to the ground, incinerating nearly one million Germans. (He would later be executed for war crimes, which set off future international tensions.)Sep 2, 1945 After the end of the war, the primary world powers gathered at Dresden to sign into account the Dresden Accords, a list of rules for deploying superheroes under national orders. As a result, heroing became a mostly-national phenomenon: international scenarios were rare to the point of irrelevance.mid-1950's An unintended consequence of the Accords was the rise of global super-crime, mostly by the shadowy organization M.I.S.T. Against the tension of the Cold War, which was only held at bay by the tenuous balance of powers, this globespanning group plundered and spread terror, lead by the mysterious and charismatic Gray Mask. These two factors are considered to be the beginning of the "Bronze Age" of heroes, where realpolitik eclipsed a unifying foe.Mar 4, 1983 This state of uncertainty fell with a bang! with the invasion of the K'rrik, a race of insectoid aliens looking to strip Earth of her resources and subjugate her citizens. Humanity suddenly found they were not alone: and although they unified in the face of such evil, they were on the back foot of a number of days until the arrival of the Cosmic Legion (name subject to change).Mar 17, 1983 The tide turned, and within two weeks the K'rrik invaders were beaten back, but at the cost of millions of casualties. March 17th became the Day of Memory, an international holiday to commemorate the loss of life. A side effect of the Legion's new presence on Earth was the acceleration of spacefaring technologies, letting humanity quickly establish lunar and Martian outposts.JUNE 2018 A group of seven young superheroes make their first entry into the Otherworld after being abducted in their sleep. One of their number is killed by monsters shortly after arrival, dropping the count to six.JULY? 2018 Present day... maybe? Time's passage is dreamlike and uncertain in the Otherworld, so it's a best guess that it's been a month. application code

      It's once again time for the annual World Duel Nexus, a month long festival where duelists from around the world gather in teams to compete in specialized dueling tournaments, from Fusion and Xyz specialists to Entertainment and tag duelists, there's sure to be an event for everyone, all coming together in a series of team Action Duels where the various teams of duelists will face off. This year, to celebrate the twelfth anniversary of the event, a special set of cards has been released exclusively for competitors including the zodiac themed "Astrograhm" monsters, an archetype of low level monsters that can be discarded to summon a monster of the same attribute. Among the professional teams of duelists sponsored by countries and companies are two strange groups consisting of mostly unknown duelists from across the globe, the privately funded teams "Destiny" and "Fortune", what could their agenda's be? and why are their mysterious sponsors so interested in the "Astrograhm" monsters?
