In the Hands of the Next Generation (DC Flashpoint SI RP) {Recruiting Closed}

Oh in answer to the question from your response Orm gives you the details of the guard rotation and permission to requisition supplies in his name, on the condition that you act discretely.
Okay, so I'm going to be that guy here and... say that you probably meant discreetly, which is a different word.

'Discrete' means 'separately.' Whereas 'Discreet' means 'without being noticed.'

On a side note, I'll also say I hate English sometimes, such a pain in the ass.

Now to take off my grammar-nazi hat and be a sane, rational human being again.
That's actually pretty accurate and a awesome take on them. Especially funny considering that Orin, Mera and Orm map pretty well onto the Sanin.
Huh, that's... actually pretty interesting. Orin as Jiraiya, Mera as Tsunade, and Orm as Orochimaru. It really works, too.
 
Yeah, the mixup between discrete and discreet can be a headache to read when you know the difference between the two.

I look forward to more nice omakes.

More of the Endless is just fine with me!
Karma thy Name is Klarion (Omake) By Toxinvictory

The thing was not a child, though it wore the shape of one, it had been old when men in animal skins huddled around the first fires. It had burned and torn its path through worlds of burning shadow and colored voids. It was old, terrible and it looked like a child merely because it amused the being to do so.

It was akin to a god in the domain of magic, its spells drawing power from the raw fury of the Plane of Chaos. It was hunter, killer, scholar, bearer of the title Lord of Chaos and currently it wished to be anywhere other than this.

"But Klarion, you said you would get me ice-cream. You said you would and you weren't being eaten by razor finned brain fish when you did, I checked." The Lady Delirium of the Endless, she who had once been Delight, smiled at Klarion with a wide eyed innocence that was somehow more terrifying than any malice filled snarl would have been.

"Yes Lady Delirium I did say that but -"

"No buts, unless I make people think their face is their bottom and their bottom their face and I haven't done that, yet."

Klarion took the hint and moved to fetch the ice-cream Delirium craved. When he got his hands on that killjoy geezer Nabu and his to clever by half new host he was going to do things to them not seen on this planet since the Spanish Inquisition.

Teekl squirmed in the Endless's arms, Klarion prayed to every god and demon that might be listening that the incarnation of insanity didn't teleport his familiar/anchor to local reality into another dimension again. The last time she did that it had taken hours to find her again and Klarion had been hemorrhaging magic the entire time.

A world in the grip of the greatest chaos unleashed in living memory: Amazon's making common ground with demons, Atlantis sinking countries, a civil war in Hell, meta-human's emerging from the cracks and he was stuck babysitting this, this mad child on her quest for her missing kin!

"And I want extra sprinkles, ones that taste like frog song mashed with crying mushrooms."

Klarion cursed Nabu in languages that had been old when the dinosaurs died and made passing mortal ears bleed. He would have vengeance for this, by all the power's of Chaos he swore it.

It's canon. Dr Fate had too much on his plate to put up with Klarion as well and so he informed Delirium, who was looking for a pet, where a cute mystically aligned kitty could be found.

It also seems like she started to look for Dream at one point. Whether she cares or remembers about that little detail is dependent on her mood, sanity, and the fluffiness of Tekkl's fur on any given day.

Although, I don't think I'm quite as surprised to find that Klarion's willing to put up with her. Delirium has always been one of the most powerful and unstable of the Endless. There's no telling what she'll do if he doesn't put up with her whims.

Yes that is accurate assessment of her focus.

Yeah you do not want to piss off one of the Endless. It's worth noting that Klarion under the child skin is a eldritch nightmare that has more magical power than the strongest human mage and has seen the continents shift, his wrath is terrible and his cruelty legend but when Delirum tells him to get her ice-cream he does without complaint.

Been thinking on what has the hardware to even attempt to hack a kryptonian computer and the possibilities lead me to:

1. Cyborg noticed you.
2. Batcomputer got a few upgrades considering i'm not entirely certain whether this timelines Batman would even bother to have one.
3. Project S and their bald financial backer have been putting the past few decades to good use in their research into alien technology.
4. Brainiac is acting surprisingly subtle.

Beyond that goes into the territory involving everything from Green Lanterns to Vandal Savage taking IT classes.

I'm betting 1 - 3. I'm not sure if Brainiac is even capable of being subtle. Even then, he would have breached my security with no problem.
 
Well that is certainly an interesting issue. Upcoming Grey Goo apocalypse to finish off what the previous war couldn't?
 
I'm not sure if fiddling with the bodies while Alexa is standing right there is a good idea...

Hmm, maybe but I want to get some flesh for testing, plus she needs me to guide to Resistance HQ so she can't exactly murder me for using some Human Resources. Though maybe blindfolding her first would have been a better idea. Meh, I'm a high INT low WIS character like most DC (wannabe) scientists. If it goes wrong it still won't be as bad as what happened to practically any other intelligent person in a comic aiming to innovate via science.
 
Does Arsenal even have a lab for conducting such experiments?

Not yet. Thats next on the list of goals. Maybe the Resistance has some labs in its super secret hideout? :V I mean, they must have some sort of science place to have possibly made and attached Arsenals robot arm.:V
 
So, we have the Pony Express, the second coming of Hope-person, Secret Agent Fish Girl, Magical Earth Princess, Magical Space Princess, Spiderman posing as Boba Fett and finally Orochimaru with a robot arm. Missing anyone?
 
The Throne of Hell and The Gem of Scath by Toxinvictory
So I was originally going to sit on this information for a while longer but as payment for services rendered among them @Slayer Anderson 's taking on of a extra omake here's an info dump/omake which explains one of the larger plot threads I have happening.

The Throne of Hell and The Gem of Scath Omake by Toxinvictory

Talia Al Ghul, Mistress of the League of Shadows, met the gaze of the Lord of Order without fear, while the beings presence was inhuman and potent she had grown up in the tutelage of killers and monsters, she had tasted the ecstasy and rage of the Lazarus Pit. She would not be cowed by anyone, not any more.

"Unless I misunderstood you Dr Fate, The Devil is dead and Hell stands empty?"

The dual voices of Dr Fate, the mortal and the arcane echoed.

"Not the Devil as some might imagine him, Lucifer Light-bringer yet lives, but the mad shade called The First of the Fallen who ruled in Hell before Lucifer's fall from Grace and who ruled again when the Light-bringer departed is slain and Hell now rings with War as a thousand claimants seek to take the throne of the Pit."

"The First of the Fallen? Yes I know that name, my studies into the mystic were not as extensive as a true mage but I recongise the title. I assume this connects to the actions of Anton Arcane and the matter you wish to bring before the assembly in Greece?"

"Yes, before the First perished its last words spoke of spells it had worked into the very bedrock of Hell, these spells will apparently grant power over the realm itself. It claimed that only a candidate meeting its own requirements could claim mastery of this magic and with it the Throne of the Abyss."

"These requirements being?

"Two there must be, a mortal man with knowledge of the mystical and a Demon woman, as they are bound in matrimony may they bind Hell to their will. As you can imagine, taking mortal lovers has suddenly become very popular in the Pit."

Talia considered this and ran through what information had been covered in the reports from her agents regarding on the cursed land where Anton Arcane prowled.

"Arcane is after the throne isn't he, my people say he has a demon lover and the timing...."

"Yes, Josephine the demon who was charged with his torment freed him and together they tore a wound in the realms through which they escaped Hell. Because Arcane has all the morality of a mad dog his exit from the pit remains open and the bottom feeders of the abyss crawl forth, pledging themselves to him or sating their own perverse desires in the mortal realm.

In the grand scheme of the war for Hell's throne Anton Arcane is a minor player, more worrying are the actions of two mortals tied by fate to the nation of U.K. John Constantine and Circe."


Talia raised an eyebrow, anyone with a appreciation for Greek classics, a group that had grown considerably with the emergence of Altanis and the Amazons, knew of Circe and the name Constantine was not unknown to her.

"Circe stands with the Amazons and John Constantine was a citizen of the UK last I checked you mean to tell me they have aligned?"

"No, Constantine has married the daughter of his old foe Nergal, the Lady Rosacarnis and together they are seeking to take the Throne of Hell. Circe is likewise after the Throne and her path to that power is of great concern to me.

"Oh?"

"Sometime ago a young adept trained by the mystics of Azerath came to this world. The girl, Raven is a child of prophecy, the half-blood get of a very old and powerful monster, Trigon the Terrible. A demon that broke from Hell long ago and gained considerable power through conquest of the realms infinite. Raven is his gem, born to unlock the prison that he was sealed within."

"Her presence upon this world which I am sworn to protect is a matter of concern in its own right but the matter becomes even more worrying with the actions of the Greek witch. Circe was enemy to the Amazons, in particular their late Queen Hippolyta. Upon the Queen's death she appeared before the Amazons to gloat. Hera, long a patron of Hippolyta and the Amazons, was outraged at this andcursed her with a compulsion of servitude to the now Queen Diana."

"As Medea was compelled to Jason is Circe to Diana, and as in Medea's case the compulsion has made its bearer forfeit all morality and restraint in the pursuit of the directive. Raven aligned with the Amazon, offering protection and healing, Circe was charged with teaching her magic. But the compulsion along with knowledge of the situation in Hell have had consequences."

"Circe compelled as she is to aid the Amazons in whatever way she can has decided to seize the throne of Hell and use the infernal legions to aid the Amazon cause. Since the First legacy requires a female demon Circe trapped her would be student and now gorges herself on the demonic power that lies within the girl. Circe is well on her way to becoming a Demon. Already the monsters of Trigon's realm answer her call.
"

"Surely the Amazon's leadership would have reservations about allying with hellbeasts or a mad witch who is set on becoming one?" Talia asked her voice incredulous. Fate's tone was grim as he/it replied.

"Circe is maddened by Hera's curse and the poisoned well of magic she drinks from twists her further but she is no fool. She hides the true source of her allies and her transformation from all. I tell you this lady Al Ghul because it may become necessary to act directly if this is to be stopped. Slay the bound Raven and Circe's well of demonic power will dry up. Slay Circe and the threat is ended all together."

"A matter for the assembly in Greece then. "

Now that sounds interesting. I wonder if any of the players will attempt to go for the throne?

Although no one currently fits a criteria, that could change in time. All in all, a very interesting lore omake with some possibly fascinating after effects.
 
Constantine definitely has a bigger plan in mind. He wouldn't be the type to conquer Hell out of a whim. He's probably doing it to somehow right his many, many past wrongs. That's very much Constantine. The question is, which one?

Incidentally here's a picture of John Constantine and his bride.


I'm surprised any one is marrying Constantine, considering what happened to his past relationships.
