Righteous Wrath's page

Timothy sees Parker floating through the lunchroom looking for a seat. "Parker!" Timothy yells. The loud yell draw the attention of everyone. He waves Parker to their table. Timothy slaps an empty chair next to him. "Come on!"

Timothy watches Henry, one of the line cooks, create his bacon cheese burger. Tim chats with Henry as the cook spreads a thin layer of mayonnaise on the bun. He squirts mustard on the top bun and plops some ketchup on the bottom bun. The cook slides pickle chips onto the top bun with the mustard, and a large sliced tomato on the bottom with the ketchup. Henry told Tim that the flavors compliment each other. Henry places the cheeseburger, fresh from the grill, on top of the tomato then adds bacon, lettuce and onion.

Tim heads to the table where his new friends are. He sits and prays silently, then bites into his burger. The explosion of flavors in his mouth, makes him chew with delight.

"Cable said that they were controlled by a mindbender. Is there a way to protect ourselves from such things?" Tim says after clearing his mouth with an ice cold rootbeer.

I forgot to add the following

"I meant to ask you." Timothy says softly. "The whole transformation. It looked so...painful. Does it hurt you to change? or change back?"

"We will always have those who threaten us with violence" the now human girl puts a hand on Timothy's shoulder "But I'm sure you know this. No matter what we do or say."

"Maybe he's just possessed." He cracks a half-smile at Jessie and shakes his head no. "We both know that he is just lost, like so many others."

It a great blessing and comfort to Timothy for finding a sister in Christ. He smiles at her.

She motions with her head "Let's go get some grub, that took a lot out of me. And I'd rather not start a conversation with the 'noids if I don't have to."

"My instructor always said, 'Don't play with your 'noids.'" He laughs at his own stupid joke. "I want a cheese burger. They say American's have the best cheese burgers."

A feeling rumbles deep within Timothy. It is an overwhelming need that had to be fulfilled. "What's for lunch? I'm hungry" He asks Cable.

"I see violence and control is all you know. I will gladly martyr myself for Word of the Lord." He closes his eyes and waits for Parker to attack.

"Jesus said, 'Blessed are you when people hate you, when they exclude you and insult you and reject your name as evil, because of the Son of Man.'" Timothy replies.

"You seek control of my tongue, which I will not give, and I've already answered both questions, which you will not hear." Says Timothy.

Parker then flies back down to be 30 feet above the ground, and continues with his calm tone, "I would be a fool and a poor grandson if I thought that there is only a single god. Your faith says to honor your mother and father." Parker raises his left eyebrow, "I take it you would not suggest I dishonor my parents or grandparents?"

"Jesus said, 'If anyone comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters—yes, even their own life—such a person cannot be my disciple.' ...God is above all in life including a family's opinion or your own beating heart." Timothy replies.

I hope everyone had a great 4th of July weekend. @EltonJ I'm hoping to 'Trap' The badguys in prose other than making the rolls. Can We just assume he tries time after time until secured? Maybe the others would enjoy grilling the badguys for info.

'Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.'

Timothy reminds himself that conflict will not bring him closer to the Lord. The zealot turns his head to the other end of the field. His mind rips the other goal post from the ground. It flies across the field to tightly and uncomfortably encase another ramatith.

"While I did not lie, I did commit a sin. I sinned by pushing you farther from Jesus. I find that my quest for truth blinds me to the damage it might cause others."

Timothy rips a 5G tower from farther away and sparks ricochet against its metal tower. It flies with a purpose to tie up the last of the ramatith.

"But I had no idea that you believed in Lucifer and that's a good thing." Timothy turns to the others. "I cannot read their minds. Can any of you find who sent them?"

"Unlike Timothy, I will NEVER try to convert anyone's faith."

Parker locks eyes with Timothy, "Are you going to respect MY request to not have you try to convert me to your faith ever again?"

Parker notices one of zoanoids starting to move, "Heads up, one of them is twitching."

"I tried to convert no one. If you are talking about my prayer for your redemption, I will do it without your knowledge from now on." He reacts softly to Parker increasing anger. "However your anger will not silence me from spreading the Word."

Parker then looks back at Timothy, "I am NOT a servant of the devil! You are continuing to offend me. Are you too dense to not realize that? You claim you do not want to be rude, then stop being so. I was not the one who told someone their gods are not real. That was you, Tim. Did your parents never teach you to apologize when you offend someone?"

"The truth is the truth regardless of offense. But it is you who wanted this conversation. I spoke truthfully to you. Now you call me dense as if I did not do as you requested. I will pray that you find the Way to Christ my brother." Says Timothy in a confident and calm tone.

"All gods have names, even yours. It's Yahweh," Parker remains in his [2 ranks subtle] incorporeal form and switches to his non- greek fire fog cloud dynamic combination, which does not remove the existing fog cloud flames until the start of Parker's next turn, "Millenia of ancient gods with no historical records of <Jesus*> or his padre until the days of the Roman empire." Parker flies over and hovers a few feet off the ground close to Timothy to make eye contact with him, "Telling someone they revere the devil when they do not is quite rude, Timothy." Parker then flies closer and whispers to Timothy as Parker looks at Catrina, hoping she can hear his whispered words, "Continue our theological discussion if they don't stand down so I can use it to our advantage against them.". Parker then winks at Timothy as he resumes his normal speaking volume, he quips, "The virgin Mary schtick is far from original." before he flies so he is 30 feet above the paralyzed zoanoids.

"You're offending Catrina." Timothy shakes his head. "Actually the Jewish faith existed thousands of years before the Roman empire. But yes, you are following Satan lies, whether or not you revere him. And we can discuss antediluvian idol worship later, if you'd like."

Catrina sighs. "Do we really need to have a religious discussion right now? We've all only just met, it's our first day!"

While Timothy was only responding to comments made to him, He pushed down his pride to behave with grace. "I didn't want to appear rude." He locks eyes Catrina and smiles. "Let us know when you become more comfortable speaking about spiritual things."

fyi. I have this for hold

Improved Hold: –5 circumstance penalty to escape from your holds.

"Nothing against <Jesus's padre*>," Parker replies,"but his dad was a babe when the old gods were already ancient.".

"Jesus is God. Genesis says man is created in God's image. John one says that that image is Jesus Christ, who is the incarnation of God. Linear time is for mortals, God lives in the forever now."

Timothy glances at the steel goal posts. He telekinetically rips it from the ground. Timothy picks one of the immobile Zoanoid and wraps the iron poles around him.

Attack: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (18) + 14 = 32

Telekinetic Snare: Ranged Cumulative Affliction 10 (Resisted by Dodge, Overcome by Damage; Hindered and Vulnerable, Defenseless and Immobile), Accurate 4, Extra

"I think my prayer to the gods caused the lava."

Parker, hoping his updated deduction is accurate gets ready to test his theory....on the next round.

"There is only one God! Stop believing in Lucifer, and his fallen angel's lies."

Parker, having seen Timothy have control over the ground during the race, "What the?! You can control lava, Tim?"

"What's your plan?" Timothy replies to Parker with his inquisition.

Timothy eyes look saddened, then quickly turn to protectionist. His eyes glance to the center of the Ramatith group. He impacts the ground with a telekinetic punch. The power expands outward in a transformative wave. Ground and air circularly expand into an explosive concussion. The broken ground and swirling air soon come to rest.

To hit: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13
Telekinetic Hammer: Ranged Burst Area Damage 8

cool beans

Did Jessie want to talk to the MIB?

Timothy's face becomes stern. The young man's voice projects a deep timber, "Speak then!" Timothy preferred no violence, but he made sure that they understood that it was possible.

Timothy lands next to Jessie. He walks beside her. He squints at the other group. Leaning in, Timothy says quietly to Jessie's ear. "Another test?"

Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17

Yep

Well, since you are all here, I might start an encounter with a villain.

Nothing too challenging please, we still need to learn each other's style.

Telekinetically ripping the ground from the earth while he is still attached ground to feet, Timothy flies to the finish. His arms stretched outward in a representation of the cross.

I remembered there was some confusion on the recruitment board because we were only using the players guide, so figured I would post a clear presentation of how the benefit (wealth advantage) works and if I have done a proper example in my spoiler for Parker's gear, others could check it out to see it if they aren't clear on how the Wealth rank/purchase system works.

It does not include the teamwork checks involving wealth.

A question for you, Elton, is the cell phone they list is probably a flip phone. What do you think the purchase DC for a smart phone should be? I might have 2 purchase hits to my wealth if you make it higher than a DC 12. (though not within 2 months of each other, so my phone is a smart phone he has had for over a year). Parker's ya-ya's like to facetime. :)

Yes, originally it was for a flip phone. A smart phone would be DC13.

People on food stamps have smart phones. What's the year?

Timothy, with a flick of the eye, alters the course of the ball to speed towards Catrina. "Heads up."

Trying to find a name that hasn't been used in comics is really hard. As you can see, even Marvel reused a name.

I think 'Wrecked-All Pains' is still available.

"That's pretty rough on your clothes." And horrific to watch. Timothy adds silently.

Timothy Stops the ball mid air with a glance. He eyes Jessie. "He's assessing our powers. Dazzle us with your talents Sunshine." He rockets the ball, while not directly at her, but it's close enough to be unnerving. "Catch."

Timothy calmly watches as the others pass the ball to one another. He instinctively uses his observations of each members powers, including Cable. He could easily fire the ball through a wall telekinetically, but that's not what the instructors looking for.

Insight: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17

I was thinking about a hero name

And I came up with the following

Guyver Unit 7
Unit 7
Mk. VII

And so, her hero name is simply Vii (Vee)

Siete sounds sexy

While growing up, The Jesuits had limited Timothy's education to documentaries and Christmas TV shows during Christmas time. The Heat Miser song stuck out for him. He silently sings to himself.

He's Mister Green Christmas
He's Mister Sun
He's Mister Heat Blister
He's Mister Hundred and One

A bit embarrassed for his lack of informal education. He smiles while the others interrelate.

"So, Nightwing told me about you," Cable says. "did you bring gym clothes?"

Confused, Timothy asks. "Why would I have Jim's clothes?

As long as no sentence ends with the words 'gimp suit', then I'm fine.

Timothy finishes the meet and greets. He listens as the conversations evolve while adding nothing. He had nothing important to add.

As Black Canary appears, Catrina responds, "Oh! Black Canary! Hi! Thank you! I'm Catrina." She heads inside as requested.

"I think that it's a projection. I'm not sure that she can hear you." He shrugs, and heads towards the facility while controlling his speed to stay close to the group.

She gently pulls the sides of her jacket to the side, bending her knees in a curtsy

"You flatter me good sir. Especially the name, as some would disagree." she smiles and straightens out "Named after the writer of the book in the Bible?" she asks curiously

"Yes. Like the children of nearly every faithful Catholic...And only the blind could not see your light." It's apparent that Timothy is amused with their interaction.

Catrina grins as the boys approach. "Hi! I'm Catrina. It's a pleasure to meet you." She extends her hand in greeting.

After going through introductions, she adds, "So, are we all new here? Does anyone know who we're supposed to meet?" She looks around expectantly at everyone else.

Timothy reaches for her hand and gently grasps. The story of Samson and Delilah float through the corridors of mind. Although attractive, he feels trepidation at the sight of her. "I'm new. Maybe someone is inside to help us." He says mater-of-factly.

He then picks up his backpack and duffel bag, turns around and walks over to the other students waiting.

"Hi, everyone. I'm Parker. What are your names?"

"Timothy. It's nice to meet you." The young man says. Being that his name and image decorate every news feed around the world currently, You'd likely have seen his face. His dark hair which is shaved close to the sides of his head. A healthy mop of lightly curled hair adorns the top.

According to the pushers of pablum, he's the Catholic weapon. 'Telekinesis Timmy'.

Timothy shakes his hand reflexively.

"Didn't expect so many newbies on the same day. Well, pleased to meet ya all. Call me Jessie or Jess. How ever you feel like"

"You brighten our day. A better name for you is Sunshine." He appears to blush a little at the unpracticed flirtatious gesture, but he quickly recovers. He smiles at her with kindness.

Here is the tightened version. Please check

Alternate Effect thing, looks like I could get 27 more points. Still learning

He breaths deep the fine leather of the Mercedes Benz town car. The skinny young man closes his eyes and feels the living minds around him. Some on the sidewalk which flit away like sparks from a fire. Some in cars on the street which flit around like fireflies. As the black town car pulls up to the school, Timothy collects his bag.

The new kid steps out. He closes his eyes to get the lay of the land, just as he was taught. His blue-green eyes dart back and forth looking for telekinetic weapons, just as he was taught.

Timothy stops.

He drops to his knee and prays. The pope tailors had made the teen a handmade Italian three piece suit. The grey-black cashmere clung tight to his lanky body, yet somehow added back grace.

"Thank you for all your miracles and blessings Lord." He says with earnestness.

"Please let me serve you Lord. Your will be done. In Jesus name I pray. Amen." Timothy's eyes open. It's nearly imperceptible, but for a very brief moment He seemed to levitate a bit while rising to his feet. He looks at the two girls and smiles brightly. "It's a wonderful day to be alive; isn't it?"

OK Dotted. I think that I'm good to go.
