Half a year ago the collective consciousness of humanity itself birthed an entity whose sole purpose was to amass power in order to keep them safe from the threats that existed in their world. Whether they were aware of it or not the very concept of what it meant to have Control took a physical host. During its time among the people of Earth the Aspect of Control began to understand its purpose. Human minds weren’t equipped to deal with the turmoil they were put through. The violence they witnessed, be it passively or actively, left them scarred in countless ways. Yet, no matter what violence it witnessed, the only thought that rushed to the forefront of its mind was whether or not the threat before it was capable of ending the human race. Its power was that of a king raising an army of unfeeling constructs and yet it never once thought about taking the seat of a king. A noble cause, to protect all of humanity with the power they had given it, and when the self proclaimed super heroes of the world learned of this they responded with fear. Throughout every encounter one thing became painfully evident to the Aspect of Control, these caped crusaders only seemed to make things worse. Their fear of losing control drove them to willingly endanger their species just for the sake of maintaining a status quo where they were on top. They were given chances to help him and instead they actively worked against his cause. Too many refused to accept that someone that called themselves a god while actively challenging their necessity could possibly be a force for good. It was with a heavy heart that the Aspect came to the realization that if he wanted to work for the greater good there were going to be obstacles he would have to remove…by force. As the sun set on New York City a number of packages would make their way through the Bronx. 10 small envelopes would be dropped in locations near places where the METTLE Gang was known to frequent. Rooftops, parking lots, vacant apartments, mailboxes, and the like would become their home. Within these packages, wrapped in nearly a hundred layers of saran wrap, were the severed fingers of Legion’s physical body. Fingers that, given his immutable nature, could act as Nexus points. The perceptive among them might’ve been able to notice the slight shift of the shadows along the ground moments before the attacks began. All at once the armies of Legion would erupt from the darkness and carry out the coordinated attack. Knights, Mages, Valkyries, whatever soldiers he had at his disposal he would make use of to ensure that this all ended as quickly as possible. A single message, spoken in unison, would act as the only chance they got. Those who surrendered or fled the area weren’t pursued but anyone who fought and didn’t want to stay down would be met with lethal force. ”All Members of the Mettle Gang Surrender Or Face The Consequences” |
Of the attacks, there were 3 locations that would get hit the hardest. The Speedblitz Club, Burnout Autobody, and Goons would be graced by the presence of his generals. Gilgamesh and Pestilence would lead the charge at Speedblitz, Gabriel would lead the assault on Burnout Autobody, while Lancelot and Kuma would look to decimate known villain bar Goons. The Monarch of Manhattan however, wouldn’t be among them. Instead he was at his apartment watching from afar as the criminal underworld of the Bronx was struck by the fury of the peoples protector. METTLE was a smart enough guy to figure out that the only way for his goons to survive their encounters with the unstoppable army would be for him to try and sever the head of the serpent itself. So he intended on making it as easy as possible for him and any other self proclaimed ‘super hero’ to find him. Clad in solidified shadow, the Legion awaited the confrontation to come. |
OOC
- RP is now closed. The open period has expired. If you still want to join you just have to DM Absolucian on Discord.
- Just so there isn't any confusion Legion's soldiers are only fighting the people that try to fight. They aren't attacking indiscriminately. They also aren't killing people unless they refuse to surrender.
- When it comes to selling you can auto hit the soldiers, all their info is in the bio so you can get an idea of their abilities. They are constructs made from shadows. If you wanna ask about an assumed weakness you can DM me on Discord.
- Any of the named NPCs should be treated as Player characters when it comes to selling things.
- Most importantly have fun.
