    Abomination: The Ageless

    You are this guy.


    You are an Abomination; the child of a mix of supernatural creatures never meant to breed. An angel bred with a demon, and had a son. A werewolf bred with a vampire and had a daughter. Outcast from their societies, they met, fell in love, and you were born. Minutes after your birth, they were slaughtered outright for being born the way they were. As you were the product of supernatural creation, you were always smart and self reliant. You moved around a lot, and even though you are technically a couple of hundred years old, look like you're still in your teens. Which is unfortunate, as wherever you try to settle, people always interfere with your life, assuming you to be a run away. Even more unfortunately, you fell in love once and the person who you fell in love with betrayed you and sold you to the Xerxes foundation. Luckily, just before they stuck you in the back of the neck with a sleeping dart, you killed your ex lover. Well, you say luckily; it felt good to you at the time.



    You come to in a strange room. It's all badly coloured and such, but who are you to talk? You were made in paint on a laptop by someone who hasn't used paint in ages and who had to use the touch pad instead of a mouse. It looks like this.



    The little panel by the door has writing on it; otherwise the room is empty.
    What do you do?

    Re: Abomination: The Ageless

    You made it in paint, right?

    Because those are lines of different-colored pixels.

    I smell a White Wolf game.

    > Punch the door, Micky.

    EDIT: I revise my previous statement. The lines are two pixels wide. So it's lines of dual different coloured pixels.

    Lol, white wolf. Now, I do love me a White Wolf game, and I did get the idea of Abominations from there, but no, I will not be giving him the WW powers unless there is a huge demand for them



    You deliver a powerful blow to the door. It doesn't react, probably because it's a door. Your hand, however, starts bleeding.



    Ooooh, blooood, preeeeettty....
    Oh wait, your hand's stopped bleeding again. You wonder why this is...



    Oh, well, that makes sense you suppose. Leveling up usually restores health points. Well, you suppose it does at least, the world has never seen fit to supply you with levels before.

    You still kind of look shitty, but hey, you suppose your appearance will improve with time as well. At least your head isn't egg shaped anymore.

    What do you do now?

    Yeah, you're pretty sure that the panel is just lying to you eh. Your CHRONOMETER indicates that three days and five hours have passed, not years. You remind the voices in your brain that there is in fact a door handle here. You know, in case you wanted to try to leave. Just saying. No pressure.

    Also, you're damn sure that sign said something different before.

    THUD!!!!

    A noise behind you makes you turn around; the wall has been removed revealing:
    A TERRIFYING KILL BOT!!!!!!!



    Ok, so it apparently is involved in watching television and hasn't noticed you. Appears whoever went to this much trouble to kidnap you isn't rich enough to afford good peons. And before you ask, that's a red and black bean bag the robot is standing on, not wheels. Wheels that shape would be silly and the artist would never accidentally draw them that big and then save the file <__<"

    Also, it appears that even though levelling up improved your own appearance, improving the appearance of the rest of the universe works on a slightly different way. Or maybe by gaining more levels. Or something.

    Re: Abomination: The Ageless


    So yeah, remembering about that door we talked about earlier, the one you haven't tried yet, are you sure you want to spend mp on the spell? and if you do, remembering that killbot's are antagonists and so not part of the landscape, what do you want to make pliable?

    You give up and cast pliable landscape underneath the robot.

    Yes, well, now he's stuck in the ground. He won't be any bother to you any time soon.

    > Pliify the sign.

    >Then open the door.

    You add the SIGN to your INVENTORY.

    UNLOCKED : Inventory Access!
    In your inventory, you currently have: $1495, a SET OF KEYS, a CELLULAR PHONE, a NOTE from your ex (used), and a MORPHIC SIGN.

    You open the door and look down the corridor into the next room

    Hmm... Don't know if trust? Why the hell would the Xerxes foundation want to recruit you? They don't know anything (truthful) about you! Then again, you've heard that they're trying to recruit "superheroes". Pfft. Chaotic neutral all the way for you! Besides, dressing in tights is silly.

    > Quick! Break the Killbot's neck.
    *CRACK!*
    Done.

    LEVEL UP!
    APPEARANCE CHANGE: N/A
    HP increases to 10/10
    MP increases to 12/12
    SPELL MENU UNLOCKE Battle Spells
    Claws of the Wild Lvl2: Profficiency 9/10 (5MP per use) - Current Level: +1 Agg Damage. Next Level, Able To Be Used Out Of Battle (+1 Climb)
    Out Of The Way Lvl1: Profficiency 3/10 (1MP per use) - INTERRUPT MOVE: Moves you up the turn order in battles as per level of spell; does not count as a move for the turn. Can only be used once a turn.
    SPELLS UNLOCKE

    Now what will you do?

    Yep, definitely a door alright. No one is answering though.

    You get side tracked wondering if this is the DOOOOOOOOOR!!!!!, but as you are not a unicorn, it can't be.

    What now?

    Re: Abomination: The Ageless

    By the way, I totally have a plot for this. It's changed a lot though. One of the bit characters WHO YOU HAVEN'T EVEN MET YET has in my head had turned into someone more important. :O THIS SOMEHOW CHANGES EVERYTHING BUT NOT IN A WAY THAT YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO KNOW ABOUT IF YOU WEREN'T SOMEHOW ME!

    Re: Abomination: The Ageless

    You charge the door, breaking it open, and stop outside in the sunlight. The view changes. Dammit!


    There is a crowd of people standing around the entrance to what is called pretentiously "Xerxes academy for superheroes". Man, you can't stand that guy. Turning mortals into his own private army, problem is he doesn't understand what he's doing. Hell, from what you understand, he's a human himself. Fighting "bad guys" and "evil"? Morality isn't that clear cut! What do you do?

    Using what you know, you update the map by thinking at it. Seemed to work.

    As you exist in a world of superheroes, proclaiming moral ambiguity establishes you as a villain of the vilest sort.

    THEY call themselves superheroes. You call them mortals who have slight powers. The difference between a "superhero" and a supernatural being superheroes don't always have fast regen built in. Single power or small group of powers that can't be developed past a certain point. That being said, Chaotic Neutral is only what YOU call yourself. Regardless, you tent your fingers. The superheroes look at you in a slightly hesitant manner, but you're pretty sure they won't try anything stupi- OH GOG THEY'RE MOVING TOWARDS YOU!

    Propose this:

    "A child is possessed by a demon. If the demon is removed, the child will die. If the demon is left in, the child will grow into an evil being. If you seal the demon, the child will go through life living in unbearable pain. If you kill the child, the demon will be freed. You cannot kill the demon.

    What do you do?"

    That reminds me of Dragon Age: Origins.
