Open World's Balance

In regard to Aura Ablilites...those were created by me. I'll give you what I believe tese would center around...and no. I am soooooo not basing this power on Halan, nope. Not at all. *shifty eyes*
 
^ *coughLucariocough*

but really, I'd think of what Halan's limits/weaks are in the RSP are for that one. Like... maybe part of you char becomes some sort of 'Aura Senser' that is really sensitive if touched and screws with aura vision?


ETA: Damnit moony stop ninjaing me.
 
I noticed the connection to Lucario. x3
And I think I've found a name for that female Riolu I just bred in Platinum now.

Yeah if you could, please send that to me and I'll try to think of Halan's weaknesses/limits too and work with that.
 
Name: Lou Gunner
Age: 16
Gender: Male

Appearance: Short matted black hair, slightly tanned, and his eyes are dark brown. Lou has a medium build and alittle tall for his age. He has black and white sneakers, and is usually seen in black cargo pants, a gray T-shirt, and a size-to-big black hoodie.

Personality: Kind of the loner. Lou, when encountering people for the first time, always presents bitterness, but due to the fact that he’s grown up around his sisters he tends to keep this part of him short around females. He rarely talks, mostly because afraid of saying something that will make him look stupid. Lou hates anyone who is like his father, and fears that he might turn out to be like him.

Bio: Lou grew up in a busy crime area and was born as a middle child in a family of five, consisting of him, his twin older sisters, little sister, and mother. He and little sister aren’t blood-related to the twins. The man that he assumed to be his father was an alcoholic and an abuser to his mother and older sisters, never to him or to his little sister yet. When she turned six, the man started to abuse her as well. That was when Lou developed a hatred for his father, wondering why his sisters and mother were getting hurt for no reason. Lou soon learned that even though his mother wanted the family to get away for the man, they didn’t have the money.

At the age of ten, Lou began looking for a job to help out his mother. He found one as a drug dealer. Knowing his mother disapproved of it, he kept it a secret saying he found a job helping out a store owner’s shop. This lasted until he was fourteen, where he was caught. By then he had enough money to move his mother and sister away. He was sent away to juvenile for several months, and was just recently let out three months ago.

Other: None
 
Accepted. You will have the power of Cryrokenisis. The ability to freeze stuff.

Ok. Closing all sign-ups now. I'm starting this story now.

Also. You don't have your powers yet.

----------------------

The woman shifts the bundle in her arms and stands from her seat, the hood of her cloak never revealing more than her mouth. She walks to the center of the room, cradling the bundle in her arms.

"Welcome...I am pleased that you all have arrived."

She then walks past them and opens the back door of the main building, revealing a path that leads to a forest trail. She glances over her shoulder at the gruop behind her.

"It is time we leave...there is much we must do before-...well. There's no need for you all to know the reason quite yet."

The woman lets out a soft chuckle, moving from the doorway to the path. She walks to the edge of the forest and waits for the children to follow her.

It is only a matter of time...

Tina glanced around, more than a bit nervous. Who exactly was this person..? Still, there was no way to found out unless she followed. Tina had never been one to turn down an adventure, after all. She shrugged and walked after the lady obediently. There was no way she was leaving now, regardless of whatever any of the other people here did.
 
Emi frowned, arms crossed against her chest. This was suspicious. Who was this lady? Why did she want them? And what was in the bundle? For all they knew, she could be a murderess or something, and the bundle was full of kinves or a bomb or something. Emi voiced this. Loudly.

"So how do whe know you won't take us to some shack and kill and eat us? Or that you're not just leading us to some creepy guy who's gunna rape us? Of that you're not a crazy lady who's gunna blow us up, huh? Tell me that, weird-lady-I've-never-seen-before." Emi said loudly, fiddling with her ponytail.
 
Tina turned around to face Emi, looking slightly amused.
"Oh, sure. Because this lady and "Some creepy guy", as you say, can seriously take out all of us without anyone escaping, or someone hearing our screams or something. But nobody's making you come.. but you could miss something interesting."
 
Summer gulped.

Strangers. Something she had always had problems with. She found it difficult to find her voice, and didn't want to step in on the argument lest she invoke someone's rage. She always did.

But... what about her "family"? She had been sent to fetch the food... what would they think of this?

"W...what about our f-families...?" she stammered, "Mahn w-wouldn't be none too pleased to fahnd me disappearin'..." that was, if you could even call hers a family. It was more like a gang of orphan girls, but they'd have her head either way.
 
Barry automatically followed the cloaked woman, not even considering the dangers until a girl spoke up loudly to question the woman's motives. Another girl, who had followed without question like Barry did, pointed out that there wasn't really a danger. They both sounded like they had a point, but the second girl took the first's comment into account.

Barry grinned. "Yeah! It'll be okay. You don't have to be scared. I can protect you!" He paused and frowned when a third girl mentioned family. That's right, Mommy didn't know he was leaving with these people! But he did tell her he was going to the shrine. Yeah, he thought, nodding, and Mommy could go through the back door and into the forest if she wanted to find him. "You can put a note on the door to tell them where you went," he suggested, pointing at the door they all had come through. "And if you do, can you tell my Mommy that I'm here too?"

With everything solved in his head, he ran up to the woman's side. "What are you holding, lady?"
 
Jake stared uninterestedly at the shrine and the woman. He looked around, and to his surprise saw several other kids. He hadn't thought that others might be part of whatever this was too. Jake's thoughts were interrupted by one girl shouting, and he proceeded to stand back and quietly observe any other conversations that might occur. He noticed some of the kids walking towards the lady.

"Should I follow... Some weird lady says a bunch of mysterious stuff, and then she expects us to follow her..."

Jake shrugged, and then followed, ignoring the others. He caught up, and started walking behind the lady and another boy who looked around his age. To be safe, he kept his distance.
 
Mystari was getting worried.

First off, there were a bunch of strangers in the room. Second of all, this lady wanted her to follow her. "W-what excactly are we d-doing?" Mysti stammered. She noticed all of the other people looked older than her.
 
Lou stood at the back and listened into the conversation of the other strangers. Some of them looked more like kids rather teens, and the idea of this becoming a homicide case never even crossed his mind until a girl in a purple hoodie shouted. Well he didn’t really much care anyways, he couldn’t do very much with the rest of his life; with drug dealer on his resume. He had no future. Whatever the lady was going to do to him couldn’t be as bad as what his father did, and if it was he wouldn’t allow it to happen to the others – even if he didn’t know any of them.

Lou sighed, he wasn't going to wait. He stepped forward slowly with his hands in his pockets. He kept his distance and paced himself so that he’d be the one of the last to follow. He’d figured it was safer in the front where everyone could see the danger, than the back where they couldn’t.
 
The woman turned and looked at the first girl to speak, wearing a purple garment. Her mouth in drawn into a serious line.

"Girl. This is not a crime novel. I'm not going to kill you, nor will I wish to. you all are to aid me in finding a Doorway to the realm of Darkness and Redemption."

She then glances down at the young boy that was questioning her bundle in her arms. She reaches down to him and lifts his chin up, a soft smile on her face.

"This is a important bundle that must be delivered to the Doorway...it is my job to bring it there. But I need help to keep it safe from...well, you'll see soon enough"

She then looks to see of the others has arrived, then heard the mention of families. She lets out a soft laugh, holding the bundle better.

"Your families...the ones that would care where you are, are being informed that you are on a field trip for class. they will not question why you are gone, because it is in their minds that they have known of this trip. Those of you over 20, what families you have will know that you are on a trip on the request of a boss at you're jobs. There is no problem"
 
Emi snorted.

"Ok now I know you're nuts, lady. Magic doesn't exist except in Dungeons and Dragons and fantasy novels." She said, laughing a bit. "I'm outta here."

She turned to leave, but hesitated.

"Unless you have... proof that magic is real?"

Internally, Emi smirked. Let's see this lady show her magic. She knew it wasn't real, so how could this woman prove something that didn't exist? And she better not try to pull a rabbit out of a hat or something stupid like that.
 
"Okay!" Barry said, grinning widely again and trying to stare into her shadowed eyes. "I'll help you!"

Not only did he feel good for helping her, but it also made him feel important to be protecting such a precious package. He'd help look for the door, and protect the package from... um... well, whoever he had to. He hoped his Wrath wouldn't come out, though, because he might hurt someone... but he'd try his best not to!

The woman let go of his face and spoke to the girl who'd been worried about her family, and mentioned her solution. Barry didn't question that she'd managed to do it, and he knew it was a good thing to make Mommy not worry, but...

"Um, um, but that's lying," Barry protested. "And I don't go to school."
 
"Ah... d-don't go t' school... s-so h-how could ah be on a field trip...?" Summer mumbled quietly. School required registration fees and parents, neither of which she had. She doubted the woman could hear her, however, and some of these people and their suggestions were making her nervous.

And now magic?

This was getting stranger by the minute, and Summer didn't like it. Didn't like any of this. She was scared. Scared of the strangers, scared of what was to come.
 
Ming looks back at the purple girl, letting out a soft sigh. She carefully places the bundle on in the grass under a tree and turns toward the girl. She walks toward her, flipping her cloak over her shoulders to reveal a robe of pale lavender with a sash of royal purple.

"You want to see magic, Emi Abbadon. Then you shall see magic."

Pair of wings spread from behind the woman, the tips the the wings spreading to a width of six feet. She holds out her hand and flicks her wrist up, floating Emi off the ground and toward her. She then holds Emi in the air in front of her, tipping her hood back far enough for the girl to see her purple witch eyes.

"There is more to the world than you we ever believe. Don't test me, my dear."

She then looks over at the children that claim to not go to school. She lets out a sigh.

"Excuses have been made. You have nothing to worry about."
