Area and Class Select : You Are Here
List of Known Powers and current selection


It was dark and wet. Your body was sore and aching with pain, a few things feeling broken even. The ground was hard under your body, like cement. Eyes opening and looking down at it you could confirm that it was in fact cement. "Where am I?" Your mouth asked. Without you moving it.

Your body looked left and right, seeing trash cans and walls each and every way, the very movements sending jolts of pain throughout your entire body and it dropped back to the ground with a yelp. The alleyway got darker and you could feel it get darker, actually feel it in front of you. Your body completely collapsed to the ground without your direction and no matter what you did, you couldn't move it so instead you reached out for the one thing you could feel that you could move.

Majority Choice(s)

[] Intelligence - You can feel it pulsating with knowledge, weak but promising so much. With it you feel as if you could find the solution to any problem no matter what it is. Weakest of the four powers. Allows for major multitasking, analysis of a situation easily. 5 Skill, 1 Power. Gain 3 free questions about anything in setting. 2.0X benefits to training for skill.
[] Protection - The darkness emanates a comforting aura, like it wants to shield you from all harm. With it you feel you can stop anything and not get a scratch. Major bonus to any defensive abilities. 3 Skill, 2 Power. Gain 2 free questions about anything in setting. Lower skill req. For defensive. 1.66X benefits for training for skill. 1.33X benefits for training for power.
[] Vengeance - All you can feel is pain and the shadows all around you are offering strength to get up from it and repay those that shoved you into this position. You know the shadows can help you beat anybody. Major bonus to offensive abilities or applications. 2 Skill, 3 Power. Gain 1 free question about anything in setting Lower skill req. For offensive. 1.66X benefits for training for power. 1.33X training for skill.
[] Power - Pure unadulterated power is all that you need and all you can feel in it, something you need. Major bonus to untapped power. 1 Skill, 5 Power. 2.0X benefits for training for power.


Note: More skill means it's easier to say, make a sword out of shadows, concentrate power into smaller strikes and etc. more power means it's easier to throw around people.
Note: As a group decide what the question(s) will be about.

As you grasp for the shadows and feel yourself swamped in new feelings you suddenly can see so much more. All around anywhere that's a shadow, around a body laying on the ground you can see. A family in the building next door watching TV, people walking the streets, sewers below. It was both disconcerting and familiar at the same time.

[] Bejing - Outside of the alleyway you can see crowds and crowds of people packed shoulder to shoulder, chinese lettering all over buildings, signs and more. The streets are packed so much that it doesn't seem like it's moving and the walking people are faster than the cars even when in movement.
[] New York - Horns, yells, and general noises of chaos are easily heard from outside the alley and turning your sight outwards you can see what is known as the Big Apple. Taxis with tourists, people jammed into tight crowds, a procession of cars that steadily move along.

So that's where you are then huh? Well where are you exactly? As in your body? Looking around with your new senses you find yourself moving in a circle as something is keeping you rooted to the spot. And with some experimentation you find that prone person in the alleyway is what's the center of your circle. Upon closer inspection you find something out of the ordinary. A white cloak with red cross adorned on the back, covers him, a hint of something metal peeking out from under a few rips and tears in said cloak. His shoes are decidedly not modern, looking more like horribly woven together pieces of cloth. The caucasian face he has is young yet rugged, dirty with splotches of dirt and grime, which if they weren't there you could say with certainty that the young man would grow up to be a little if not quite handsome.

To the side of him you find something even more peculiar. Armor strewn all about the ground, the pieces disorganized but recognizable as something a knight would wear, a sword beside it serving to back up that thought. Definitely not you, but as he lay unconscious you could feel the pavement he was on, cheek resting against ground and metal cool against your skin. Trying to move 'your' hands once more you found that instead the shadows seemed to move with you, serving as your own body. In fact you're aware of several others moving you, or rather the shadows, too, also experimenting. But you return your attention to the young boy on the ground.

Individual choice

[] Poke him - You could wake him up that way. Maybe. And you're still not sure about all that's going on.
[] Move him elsewhere - An unconscious person in an alleyway in a city like this? No way that's going to end well. Best to try and move him to a safer spot, because as far as you can tell he's linked to you and you don't want to think of what might happen if he got hurt.
[] Arrange/grab his things - No idea to who these medieval objects belong too, but hey they look cool, and you could make brownie points by grabbing them.
[] Punch him - He's obviously responsible for whatever the fuck made you a shadow so pay him back for it.
[] Write-in - You're a shadow and there's so much you could do. Just give yourself a second to think about it and do it!


AN: Hoi everybody! Blitzkreug/Mr. N0bodE here with his very first Riot Quest, which for those of you who don't know, means that every vote counts! At least the minority ones. So basically if you vote for moving him and someone else votes for poking, both happen, and the more people that vote for one thing, the more/stronger that thing happens. Majority votes are when you all as a group vote for that thing and it happens.

A few notes about you in story. 1. You are completely meta, which means you could say anything you want, because you can use whatever knowledge of Worm you want! 2. The question(s) you ask, can be about anything in setting. If you all agree to, you can even save the question(s) for a life or death situation. 3. Be smart about every situation because I won't hesitate to end the story with you guys dying because of a simple mistake. Not saying that it's likely to happen, but if that's what happens, I'm not going to change it so you live.

Yeah I'm going to point out/remind you guys that you're incorporeal, like a ghost. You can interact with things but you can't put things on. No possessing either.

I'm a big fan of not getting hurt. Also, it can be versatile.

[X] Bejing - Outside of the alleyway you can see crowds and crowds of people packed shoulder to shoulder, chinese lettering all over buildings, signs and more. The streets are packed so much that it doesn't seem like it's moving and the walking people are faster than the cars even when in movement.

I'm feeling adventurous...hopefully this doesn't get us killed.

[X] Mingyu- Keep watch for people coming after you/him. He got like this somehow, and chances are it wasn't friendly. Darken the area in gloom, if possible.

Beijing is spelt wrongly :p
 
Okay calling Vote now. The following have been chosen.
Class : Protection - The darkness emanates a comforting aura, like it wants to shield you from all harm. With it you feel you can stop anything and not get a scratch. Major bonus to any defensive abilities. 3 Skill, 2 Power. Gain 2 free questions about anything in setting. Lower skill req. For defensive. 1.66X benefits for training for skill. 1.33X benefits for training for power.

Rewards for picking Protection : 2 free questions about literally anything. Only limitation is what you ALL agree to be your questions, so talk amongst yourselves for whatever the question will be. Or agree to hold onto the question for a later date. Whatever you pick. Reward(s) 2: Due to picking Protection you automatically know how to make shield constructs, armor, umbrellas, and walls through use of shadows and gain a power bonus for whenever you use them, it's even easier to make other defensive things now. Reward 3: You can customize your defensive abilities. As of now they are all a complete blanket of shadow, but you can 'style' them into different ways to be more effective. I'll make a little list/post for the styles and powers you know how to make in a second. Note, you can suggest new styles and they'll get bonuses for being something you thought of.

Area : New York - Horns, yells, and general noises of chaos are easily heard from outside the alley and turning your sight outwards you can see what is known as the Big Apple. Taxis with tourists, people jammed into tight crowds, a procession of cars that steadily move along.

Should have the new bit out by tomorrow at least.

Known Powers and Styles
Powers currently known​
Shield
Currently Selected Blanket - A straight cover of shadow formed in the shape of a shield that others can use and pick up. Equally effective against all types of attacks but yet, you feel as if you could make something better.
Layered - Layers upon layers of shadow make up this shield. Hardly anything will be able to pierce it and most attacks will be absorbed by it. Downside being it draws more power and concentration to use.
Webbed - Like Layered but more efficient with strings crisscrossing all over and uses much less power but requires more skill and concentration. Bullets and stabbing maneuvers are more likely to go through though.
Angular - By making the shield pointed in the front and turning back the edges slightly, attacks are far more likely to slide off and avoid hitting/piercing the middle. Requires little more power and concentration than Blanket.
Mingyu-Suggested: Buckler - A condensed and layered shield covering a smaller area than the other shield styles, but far more effective in stopping any given attack. The main problem about this is the amount of effort and power that would be put into it and accurately blocking attacks.
Write-in -
Armor
Currently Selected : Blanket - A straight and loose cover of shadow formed around a person's body. Equally effective against all types of attacks but yet, you feel as if you could make something better.
Form-fitting - Slightly less power needed but kinetic energy is more likely to transfer through to the subject.
Write-in -
Wall
Currently Selected : Blanket - Straightly shadow thick and through to whatever length, width or height you will it to be. Not exactly the best you feel, but it is what you wanted. A wall.
Write-in -
Umbrella
Currently selected : Typical Umbrella - Exactly what it says on the tin. A typical umbrella made out of shadows, not the best to use in light since it's a shadow but it does work.
Shadow Generation - Use shadows to cover an area in darkness, useful for many a thing other than just an umbrella too!

Sorry to say, but you missed the vote.
 
Damn it, I just missed the vote calling.
Heh sorry mang, but here's something you can vote on.

Co-QM told me I should probably give you guys an example as to how to do the questions. So for example you want to know who the kid is? [X] Ask who the kid is.
You want to know what you're capable of? [X] Ask what you're capable of.
[X] Ask why the sky is blue
[X] How meta do you mean we are?
[X] What year is it?
That's what I meant by 2 free questions folks, so just think of something and [X] Ask away. And the same goes for changing styles at any given time. Just have to make it a majority for changing 'styles' or whatever question it is being asked. Or holding onto questions. Just remember folks, some questions are better than others hehe.
