Fatal bite means that when he bites someone, they can be paralyzed for more than a minute. If that's okay? I have a few ideas for that particular power.

Ok, I just said instant death was banned as a power, that's fine.

Ok, its been about a week, so we're just going to start now, we've got plenty to do so but I'm going to add some more to make the game better.

Name: War Blade
Secret Identity: None
Age: Centuries
Species: Living Statue
Alignment: Super Villian
Appearence: A Bronze statue of a Gladiator, about 12 feet tall and purple energy radiating from his joints
Civilian Outfit:None
Origin: A once harmless statue, he was brought to life by a meteor that was accidentally placed in his mold. Its energy brought him to life.
Personality: Moraless, no compassion, his sole goal is to fight and prove more powerful than who he defeats.
History: As mentioned, he was brought to life by a meteorite in ancient times. After a fierce rampage, a gladiator managed to remove his meteorite and defeat him. In modern times, Andromeda put the meteor back and revived him.
Powers: The energy from the meteor has rendered his body harder than most Earth metals and difficult to pierce. He also possesses great strength and enderence. If the meteor is inserted into any bronze statue, wether its his own or not, War Blade will be revived. Also, any statue or inanimate object based on a living being can be brought to life for short periods by coming in contact with his energies to serve him as menions. He can munplate his metal body to heal his wounds or form weapons but he cannot restore mass, meaning if a part of his body is completely destroyed, he'll need to replace it.
Weakness: If the meteor is removed, then War Blade will return to a harmless statue state.

Ok, is everyone good to start?

I'm good!!

Paws is ready!

OOC: Ok! Where we start is about a week after Shadow Rider first appeared.

A group of thugs were counting money from a bank robbery in a dark ally in the midst of the night, ecstatic at their good fortune. "You know, its not a good idea to still money that isn't yours." said a voice, Shadow Rider emerging from shadows nearby, his armor materilizing on him. The thugs were terrified and opened fire but his armor deflected their pistol shots. He dashed up to them, striking one with an uppercut to the jaw. The other tried to flee but he formed a orb of shadows, throwing it and knocking the other thug out. He formed Dark Matter chains and tied them up, leaving the ally for the cops to find them.

Andromeda was pacing in his office. This Shadow Rider as he was called was costing Andromeda money, he was a crime boss, crime was his business and Shadow Rider was stopping crime, thus hurting Andromeda's business. "Something must be done before more villians decide to become heroes." he said. "And before this 'Shadow Rider' ruins me." he said. "Not to mention the fact I've got to 'publicly support' him to avoid being voted out of office."

Gunner cocked his handgun, chewing on his cheap cigar. He let his black shades fall down on the bridge of his nose as he examined the markings on the side of the gun that spelled out 'Alvin', his real name. He etched that in the sides of all his guns, so he could tell which ones are really his. Gunner's highly sensitive ears picked up the words, "Not...good idea...steal money...isn't yours..." Then, the sound of fighting and panicking of street boys filled his eardrums like bees in a hive. Gunner grabbed a rose from the vase he kept to fancy up his office, and stuck it into his tuxedo. As he fixed his shades, and groaned, "Someone had better thank me for this..." The smooth sides of his gun brushed against his fingertips as he slipped it into the holster on his belt. He left the building, heading towards the place where the noises came from.

Whisperer, her red hair flying in her face from the wind, trotted down the street to her apartment when she bumped into somebody. She brushed the hair out of her face to see the straight face of Gunner. She smiled up at him. "Hey Gunner, how's it been?" she said, happy to see him. Gunner answered as he walked past her, "The day's not over yet." leaving Whisperer walking home by herself.

She walked along, covering her mouth with her coat to keep her neck warm when a silhouette rushed past her. And she knew who it was; The Shadow Rider! Whisperer curiously followed the mysterious hero, trying not to make it obvious.

Kali walked out of the coffee shop, glad of the warmth from the small cup. She brought it up to her mouth, the world becoming sharper as she allowed the dark liquid to trickle down her throat. She shrugged her jacket higher around her neck, the leather material surprisingly warm. Her red hair fell across her face freely, her brown eyes searching the streets. She had heard something, though she wasn't sure what. She walked towards where it had came from. Only a couple of villians were there, tied up in dark chains. She tingled with the thought of who could of made them. THey looked like shadows of chains, but they were completely solid. THe villians looked at her reproachfully, forced silent. A small laugh bubbled up in her, though she kept it in.

"I'm not on your side anymore," she said. SHe wuld have to think of another convincing arguement to prove she was trustworthy to some heroes, but now that the Shadow Rider was here, who cared? Good was going to win this battle, and she planned to be on the winning side, no matter what it took.



Suki, more commonly known as Mariah, was walking on the streets when movement caught her blue eyes. Her eyes locled onto it, her mouth opening slightly in surprise to see Whisperer who was following...the Shadow Rider! A grin broke out on her face as she realized who it was, and she walked softly towards the two, Whisperer obviously trying t be inconspicuos. She walked beside Whisperer, her footfalls soft, her scarf wrapped around her neck. Suki's light brown hair was blown back by a slight breeze as she smiled at Whisperer.

"THe Shadow Rider," she said softly to her, her smile brightening slightly. No more needed to be said.

"I share your cause," Suki said, stepping closer o the Shadow Rider.


Kali stepped away from the scene, leaving them like that. They would be found sooner or later, either by cops or another villian. Her brown eyes surveyed the street, alighting on a group. A group that happened to incllude the Shadow Rider. A smile tugged at her lips as she saw him. Andromeda better watch his back, she thought. She walked onto the sidewalk, cold wind greeting her again. She sent a tremor of electricity down her body and limbs to warm her up some.

Whisperer stuttered, but without words, she just blinked, mouth open. then, when she found her words, she replied, "We're not here to fight you. I-I was only curious from the stories I've heard about you. The tigers say-" Then she stopped. If he knew that she was a hero as well and could speak to animals, then what would he do? She shook her head. "Never mind. I was just curious, that's all."

Stinger watched from the building. "Shadow Rider, eh?" he whispered. "Interesting."

Gunner walked into the alley where he heard voices from. To his surprise, he found a group of gangsters tied up by shadowy chains. "Well, well, well." he said, his voice (and his italian mofia accent) echoed against the walls of the alleyway. "Look who's here." he continued. "I've had dozens of clients asking about you fellas, and now it's like shooting fish in a barrel." Without further ado, Gunner cocked his pistol and aimed at the thugs.

Kali walked up to the group, already thinking of what smooth words she would say to prove that she was on the side of good again. SHe stopped a few feet away from the group, then walked again, but more slowly, her red hair catching breaths of wind, making her look mysterious.

"I can regenerate fast," Suki offered.

Kali walked closer, until she was part of the group. She joined in. "I can control electricity, to some extent," she said, her soft voice cutting through the cold air easily.
