"A big battle ahead of you, eh? Well, I haven't got anything like what you suggested right now, but if you can give me, oh, I don't know, fifteen minutes or so, I can probably whip something up." He hands you a small box with a fan. "This should take cae if Vize."

*nods*
"I have all the time in the world, and need all the help I can get. Thanks for whatever you can give, is this device easy to operate?"
J
"All the time... In The World?" Mark laughs. "You're funny, verser Jhiaxus, funny indeed." He disassembles the gun he's working on and says to you, "Be careful with that box; it's got a magic barrier, but you're still going to have a very pissed off god of magic inside of it." He begins working on something else, very quickly.
*Grins*
"Your version of god and mine are different, well at least I do know where to go now to get something made."
*Disturbing him as little as possible as he helps me out*
J
As he's working, Blade appears standing next to you.
((I was under the impression Mark's Junkyard wasn't on the same world, I guess my bad))
*Plays it off cool*
"I am doing the paperwork on time, so why the personal visit?"
J
Your danger sense is not going off, so it seems he is not here for that purpose. "Just routine. Every All-Ruler has the opportunity to create a race of people, and it's your turn. So, describe them to me, tell me whether you want to be one of them or not, and they can go populate the world from there."
*Hmm considers*
"I had not given it much thought, I would say human, with inherent defenses against magics, psioncs, and temportal manipulation, but doesn't form any basis to help them do their own, or bonus it in anyway. As long as it won't take away things I worked for, I would like to be of that race, as well as Val."
J
He answers, "If they're human, but not human, then they aren't human.. I'm not upset with any of the benefits, but the detriments I'm still waiting to hear."
*smiles*
"Well perhaps you should let me know what races were created before, so I know what I am working with. I mean I met some races with oddball powers."
J
"The first race were the Draconians; Zero was the first All-Father, and chose to be Draconian. Zero went a little overboard in his description of Draconian racial traits; essentially, there are many different Draconians, all with different strengths and weaknesses; however, all have a dragon form and all have a proud streak. Celeste was next, and created the Ayludians. Female Ayludians are as male humans, and male Ayludians are as female humans in their societal structure. Bloodfang took over from her reign, and made the Wolfkin, a strong, fast race with stronger senses of smell and hearing and a less strong sense of sight and less intelligence. Snow managed to become the next All-Ruler after him, and created the Serpents, who thrive on deception and subterfuge but are less strong. They have powerful mental powers and an above average gustatory sense, but require a large amount of water to keep from dehydrating, and drink through their skin; if their children are without immersion in water for as much as several hours, they will dehydrate, and adults also require complete immersion at least once every two or three days. Their bodies are slick with the water they need to survive, and this in turn reduces ther tactile sense. Claude created the Beastpeople, who are similar to the Wolfkin in several respects, having a less potent olfactory sense than the Wolfkin but more acute hearing, and being more agile but having less than the strength of a human. He chose not to become one. That brings us to you."
*Considers*
"So three defensive powers, they need to eat more than normal humans to power their abilities, they tend toward lesser Hand/Eye Coordination and Charisma do to their disconnect. I think that balances out. If they aren't human they will be called Atlantians."
J
"Alright, so they're Atlantians. They are naturally resistant to magic, psionics, and temporal distortions, but they have higher metabolic rates, are less coordinated and less friendly than humans. Sounds like almost everything I need except a base physical description. A general normal height range, weight range, and possible hair and eye colors."
"Weights and Heights of Human Norm, for both Male and Females, Hair Colors: Midnight Black, Auburn, Platinum Blond are the norms, but can find Brown, Red and Blond as rarer. Eyes, Grey, Deep Blue, and Dark Brown are the norms, Green, Light Blue and Light Brown are rarer. I think that does it."
J
"Alright, looks good. And you want your hair and eye color as well as Valera's to stay the same?"
*Nods*
"Yes, we are used to their color."
J
He nods, then says, "Alright, looks good. I'll go to the other three with the information you've provided and you can expect that the Atlantians will soon be populating the world, and to notice some changes in yourself fairly soon." He vanishes again. Mark hands you a helmet with several wires coming off of it, most of which end in small suction cups with tiny needles on them. There's also a small remote with a little screen. He explains to you what points on the body to insert the needles, and tells you, "This device will effectively transfer an ability from one willing party to another at the skill the first party had it. You first put on the helmet, then plug in the needles to the appropriate nerve endings, and use the remote to select the appropriate ability from the list, which it will then upload. You attach the machine to the other party, select the ability to be downloaded, and let it work. Shouldn't be too difficult. Just make sure you upload first before downloading, and don't try to download instead of uploading abilities, or they could be lost." He seems proud of himself while he explains it, but that pride vanishes as he goes and sits again, tinkering with his toys once more.
*To Blade*
"Thanks for that."
*Nods to Mark*
"So I am uploading my ability into the Helmet, and downloading it into the target, select a new one and repeat the process. Thanks Mark that's an amazing device. Thank you for taking the time out to do that. If you ever need my help with something, get a hold of David, he should have a way to always reach me."
*Take the box and helmet and make my way To the Inbetween, and and back to Imidge*
"Thanks for the suggestion in talking to Mark, he solved two of my problems. If your ready to show me the Shadow Clone Jutsu, I am ready to learn."
J
((Believe he taught you, I just need to still look up the bias area/level/intensity))
((I think your right, if so, I won't bother him again, and I will start using it to train, increase my chakra, make more, call em back, learn multiple weapons from the pile, and my Sharingan jutsus, and get my own body skills to the max, working on my Intuition, Hand Eye, Stamina and Agility right now as the most useful for what I am facing. Weapons from the pile, Staff, War Fans *Metal, outside, reinforced blades over the Black Material in the Suit with Floral Designs I would guess, can stab when closed or slice when open, Kunei and Shuriken, Naginata, Tonfu, Nunchucks and Sais. I want to give Kat a choice of weapons she knows so she isn't locked into my choices. I plan on spending time here till I get those things down. There are millions of magic and psionics and even most body skills I still have to work on out there. I just want the martial arts, shadow clones, energy manipulation Super Sayian Training, and Sharingan to be what I perfect here. The rest, I am happy to work through normally. If I wasn't fighting four demi gawds, I wouldn't resort to this))
*Do I get any information on this Ultima Cloak?, I would suggest a M8@9 Animates and Moving Illusions (Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu), with a +20 Bonus for Using Handsigns, at first level Illusions = RS/10, professional = RS/5, and Master = RS/2, with Creator having a Hive Mind, independent thought, but a shared goal, and synergy with actions, and the creator divides his chakra evenly between all the clones, and any remaining when they disappear (as well as knowledge gained) go back to creator. This makes it night impossible to know the real one from the clones, The Sharingan can track the origonal, but not tell the difference between the clones.*
So uhhh... Did you want to change Val's name to Kat... Cause you keep calling her that. =p Unless I missed someone.
It's a B9@7 Appear as Known Animate (1@1 Create Shadow Clone, rs/10: 1 clone B9@7) for the creation and a B14@5 Independent Total Body Linking to Specific Phylum for the cooperation (1@1 Coordinate Shadow Clones 14@7) -- this is the way Imidge taught you to do it. Effectively, each of your "clones" are an extension of your body, can think and feel independently, and are your equal in averaged attributes; however, for purpose of damage calculation, your clones all have a 0@1 damage value and no cover value, and when they die they disappear. Imidge explained that it was either this or take the damage each one of them receives into yourself, and "That could add up really fast when you're fighting multiple enemies."
*No, Just keep missing it :P*
*Works for me thanks for working that out, I couldn't find a decent solution*
*Nods*
"Yes taking all that damage up would not be a wise course of action, and sounds just like I remember it. Now to get some training done."
((Layed out the plan above))
J
Sounds good to me. And it's almost time to fast forward, unless there's something else?
Nope aside from dealing with the Ultima Cloak and how it will help, and to see if I can make a copy of it, I think that's it here.
David produces a cloak when you mention it. "This cloak makes the wearer practically invulnerable to physical attacks. Any strike that lands on the cloak activates a powerful magical spell in the attacker's direction, which generally ends up point blank in the attacker's face."
*smiles*
"May I borrow it, to make several copies of it, in lieu of asking for your help for a battle coming up. I do know your feeling on getting involved. Unless your feeling particularly generous."
J
He answers, "Well, you can try to copy it, but there's something on it Jef called a "copyright protection" when he gave it to me; our best haven't been able to copy it yet, which is why we don't have more than mine. I could lend it to you, but I'd like to have it back eventually."
*sighs*
"Well my magic doesn't work well anyway here, and I do need to get back to my wimmin, to make sure Jef isn't hitting on Fizgig. I will find out from the source about the cloak, I will borrow it and even if I verse, I can come back here and give it back. I keep my promises."
*With me trained up, does Imidge allow me to take one of each weapon cept for pairs or which I would need two, to see what Val would like to use?*
J
Imidge doesn't really care. As far as he's concerned, you're Black Ninja, the weapons are for Black Ninja, and you can take as many as you want.
Bump
Bump
*nods*
*To Imidge*
"If you need me for anything don't hesitate to ask or order me to do something. All I've done is take, and I want you to know that I am equally ready to give."
*If we are good, go back to the point where I went on and come back out in the elevator, fully trained, with ultima cloak*
J
Everything is as you left it, and Jef is first to speak, "Hey, David's ultima cloak. He must think pretty highly of you if he lent you that. It's a serious piece of equipment." Tan moves into your chest slowly and sensually, leans up and whispers in your ear, "Did you miss me?" She feels just as perfect as the first time. Val inquires, "What's with all the weapons? Is it Ragnarok already?"
*As a rule, the 3 Tomoe Sharingan is always on, taking so little will or power at this point, and ready to jump into whichever Super Sayian power level I have achieved, a quick rundown of the ability scores I improved, want a list from me?*
*To Jef*
"He said it wasn't copyable, I didn't want to deprive him of it, but since that wasn't an option, he let me borrow it. He said you gave it to him."
*Grins*
*To Tani and Val pulling them both in and nuzzling*
"Yes I missed you girls very, very much."
*grins*
"I finished my training, I improved some of my attributes, I got trained by Imidge to use a technique both useful for training and battle, so I spent much less time there, doing a lot more at a time. Imidge said to not let Val do the shapechange, that something wonderful would happen. I mastered the techniques, I went there for, mastered new ones that I put out of my mind. I had to step out to see Mark, and the one who popped in on us before found me there, asked me to create a race. Val and I are now part of the Atlantian race, with defenses against magic, psionics and able to be immune to time based effects."
*To Tani*
"I know you have your own immunities, and proud of your race, so I left you be, knowing your mind on things by now."
*smiles*
"Almost forgot, I may not be able to get Val to the training, but the training can come to Val. *shows the Helmet* Mark made it and instructed me on its use. I don't know how much time we have, but once we get everyone together, we'll get Val trained, and stick together. Oh Val the weapons are mine technically, but since it is the letter of the rules that count, I can loan you one set, till as such time as you become an official member of an organization that I can't talk to you about." *grins*
*To Jef*
"I don't know how long we have might be an hour, day, month or year, but Fizgig knows you and called for your help, and we could use it, and that's good enough for me."
J
The girls are just happy to be against you and see how happy you are, and Eria gets jealous and squirms her way in. Jef explains to you, "The fabric that cloak was made from is magical itself, very rare, and very difficult to work with. I loomed, spun, stitched, and sewed that cloak myself specifically for David, a very long time ago, as thanks for... a favor he did for me. Just by the nature of the cloak, it's extremely difficult to duplicate; that's a good thing, considering what a good piece of equipment it is. I made a similar piece for Shane, the Solar Cloak, but since David's fires an energy element blast, most people prefer that; less people are resistant to energy than heat."
*Nods and hugs Eria too*
*To Jef*
"Now that I know the time you spent to work on it, I guess it would be a shame just to be able to copy it. Knowing you put hard work into it means something more, truly a wonderful gift to both make and receive. Well that does help me decide what to do when the time comes."
"Waiting to get to the library, to see if the other two kids are there, when they are rounded up, take everyone down to Aegis, since we will have questions that only he can answer."
J
GE: 7, that's more than good enough for Jewel and Nic to both be in the library. Jewel is reading a book, glancing up occasionally at her brother, who is wielding a sword and practicing his footwork.
*Looks around seeing them both in here*
"Ok kids, we are going to head to our rooms as a group and grab mattresses, bedding and clothes and we are all staying in the master bedroom suite from now on. Once we do that, we are heading downstairs and talking to a man to get some questions answered. Nic, your in charge of your sisters to make sure they get their stuff in order, your squad leader."
*once we are all together and got the kids's stuff into the suite and situated, make sure they have their clothes, hobbies, and everything else, we'll have the servants bring the paperwork for me to work on up here. I want no one out of my sight till it goes down.*
*We head together as a group to the elevator to talk to Aegis*
*First question after introductions*
"How long do we have before they react?"
J
