Powers Quest (Original/The Gamer) [Sort-of Hiatus]

[X] Crime City
[X] a dingy, crime-ridden part of the city
[X] the members of your gang.
[X] Alex
[X] Ambitious

Crime boss Gamer. UST with magical girl nemesis, etc. . .
 
... that is not the name of a city
If this wins (which it looks like it probably will), Crime City will just be the nickname everyone calls it due to its massive crime-rate, and I'll make up some actual name which will only be used in official circumstances.

[X] Lucky
Most important part to me, assuming we manage to pull an Eito.
That's the only thing you're voting for?! :p

lucky james, rolls off the tongue nicely.
 
.1.
Winning votes:
- Crime City [official name Chrome City, the wretched hive of scum and villainy]
- a dingy, crime-ridden part of the city
- the members of your gang.
- Alex.
- Lucky.

.1.

Waking up in your gang's base - well, the squat you call your base - is normal. Waking up to a cheery ding and a pop-up telling you your HP is fully recovered isn't anywhere near normal.

A wary touch of the pop-up makes it disappear, but the dull confusion remains. As does the bar in the corner of your vision, telling you that you have 50 HP left. You feel oddly wide-awake, as if you've had a full night's sleep despite your salvaged bed and the squalor of this previously abandoned
[ ] house.
[ ] factory.

Shoving the thin covers off, you stumble to your feet, alert for anything else strange; everything else seems normal, including the noise of your subordinates outside the room. Someone using their powers on you? Considering you only formed your gang,

I have no idea about personality. I would rather be greedy but not psychotic. can't come up with a name either, other than the obvious joke one

-[X] well what ever this is it looks like a video game... maybe there is a menu?
-[X]better keep it quite so the rest of the gang can't hear
-[X] Pause, Options, Tutorial?

-[X] Gamer esk mind set, IE Greedy very interested in collecting shines. tends to horde a lot of stuff. The main focus however is that he is ambitious he fully intends to take over the world one day it may sound like a fantasy but damn it he is going to make it someday
 
You know what, I will just make a complete vote anyways

[X] Plan feudalism

[X] Warehouse
[X] The Nobles
[X] Experiment
[X] Greedy, but not psychotic.
-[X] Wanting to rise up from poverty and become king is our long term goal, yes we live in "america" which means it involves usurping the government and bringing down democracy, but what has it ever done for us anyways? The gang structure is somewhat feudal as a result. Our colors are purple and gold. This was all idle dreams before quest started and we got powers. The concern of someone using their powers on us makes it seem like powers are a thing that exists in the world. So an "upper class" of nobility being the metahumans or whatever they are called here fits into our world view well. Its just that we never thought we could go all that far as a normal, hoping to maybe grab a small fief. Now we can dream about taking the whole world

[X] "We've been arguing over the name for the last week. Can't we just go with - " "We're not calling ourselves the Filthy Monkeys. It's stupid." "We're using it ironically." "Well, it's unironically stupid." "Like yours is any better. The Boyz? Sounds like a gay band." "And what's wrong with that?" *Awkward silence* "Nothing Tommy." "Yeah, we're all down. It's just... um... not the direction we wanna go." "So what about the Schoolrats? Since we live in a school?" "Do we actually want people to know where we live?" "Isn't that part of staking out territory?" "I guess, but-" "Guys, focus, we need a name." "Shit..."
- [X] Currently undecided, and very likely to start a small riot if brought up.
[X] leave the room

As for personality...

[X] Alex is one lazy sonnuvabitch. Where others plan and work hard, Alex prefers to lurch onward aimlessly, relying on his stupendous luck to see him through. This has seen him through some hairy situations, but, well, the fact that he lives in an abandoned school should tell you something about the long term viability of that strategy. He's not sure how he got to be a gang-leader, but he figures he might as well give it a shot. If he crashes and burns? Oh well. On the plus side, this allows him to accept most things with a zen sort of calm. No use getting worked up about every little setback, amiright?

I'll do some kind of bonus reward for this later, because it's hilarious.
 
@jaiveer00 I just made a small edit before you posted. Do you think I should revert it or is it ok? I basically changed

"So an "upper class" of nobility being the metahumans or whatever they are called here works out into our plan well, it just wasn't really feasible when we weren't one ourselves"
into

Hilarious, and makes me doubt my name choice. would "The Lords" be a better name the "The Nobles"?

I like the 'we don't have a name because of arguments' vibe, but don't wanna live in a school.
Been watching too much loli-zombies for that to be attractive.
[X] Call in subordinates
-[X] "Which one of you asshats slipped me LSD?"
[X] Lazy and un-phaseable, a strange and varied life has led to an attitude that one could rarely if ever describe as 'turbed'.
Leading a gang is mostly for kicks, and to see if something interesting can be done.
Contradictory actions, dropping plans because of a lack of interest, you are still not sure why exactly you are in charge. Might have to do with a silver tongue that talked the police into letting the entire 'gang' off of near felony level charges.
 
Will be going to bed soon (30 minutes?), so if anyone wants to alter or add their vote, now's the time! Otherwise we may go to a SUDDEN-DEATH vote-off! (How... exciting.) :cool:

For the lols. Good to see you back, Zen. First things first, we need a cactus. Then we can try to rewire a house.
