A mixture of both. They've begun to use guns, and are changing their manner of dress/armor/etc. However, they still keep their nobility lineage, like crests and mannerisms/general feelings of legitimacy.

Like nobility in the late 1800's, more or less

Sounds good. Now who will we be apping as, members of the legion? Or will the legion simply be a group that we will be interacting with.

Sweet, so that leaves the villain. I know you said earlier that this was where the trouble was, but do you have any ideas for it yet?

More or less! Thinking some new rebellious leader, basically throwing baby out with the bathwater by inciting a revolution against the current kingdoms. Think lenin-style, but with less shitty czar

Also i actually had three ideas.

This is what i have so far. It will still need worked out.

Once we Were Villains


Superheroes exist in this world, as do their less righteous counterparts, Super villains. Most of the current youths of the world grew up heroes or reading about heroes, though they have been around since long before that. Throughout history and legends there have been stories of those who could wield fire or fly, or possessed unimaginable strength. Once these stories were thought to be the result of gross embellishment and superstition, it was only during the end of the First World War, that we realized how wrong we were. It was during one of the first British incursions involving Tanks to storm a town in newfoundland called monche-Le-Preux. The armed forces were told to stay behind and wait while the artillery softened up the enemy positions, unfortunately The Armored division was not told this thus they advanced in the night. The incursion was mostly a success, until the enemy realized they had no infantry support, then the Tanks were stormed. They would have all been killed were it not for an Englishmen later to be known as the Colonel, due to his military bearing and upbringing.

The Colonel was a Meta,(Which is what Superhumans are called now) he could control Metals, though it was not until that moment until he had used his powers on such a scale. This marked only the first of such incidents, as well as the changing of an era. In the decades that followed, Metas played a major part in many notable battles across the world, though this stopped with the onset of the Cold War, another from of Mutually Ensured Destruction. In the Early 2000’s the worlds first Group of Superheroes formed, they called themselves the League, They were Based in the US though were from across the world. After the League formed, various supervillain organizations cropped up, the most notable and infamous of them being The Society. It is still not known how many members the Society had, The only well-known Villain was Samurai, a Meta Called Hoitsu Inaba, who became most well-known during the push towards Japan during WW2. They were by far the greatest foe of the League, and they were almost their death.

It happened in 2013, on Halloween, The Society orchestrated a massive series of Crimes, culminating in the only successful robbery of Fort Knox. In the series of battles that followed, the League had the upper-hand, but that all changed in the final fight that happened in New York, an iconic place for an iconic battle. All was going well when the tables turned on the League, the Society had the League on the ropes, and even now it is not known why they didn’t kill them and finish them off. After the Battle, the League became even more famous while the Society and its members faded from view over the following months.

I have yet to decide what comes after, but I was thinking a new group of villains popped up and took out the League then stuff, idk.

RP Name: Welcome to The Compound
Rp Creator(s): Shadowell, WHYYYYII, Kractero
RP Type: character
RP Genres: Superhero, Academy, AoHaV, serious
RP Description: In this world of ours there exist meta-humans, those with extraordinary abilities. Those that use their powers for good are called Heroes, those that use them for evil are called Villains. After an event years ago, that shook much of the Meta world, a group formed, The Shadow Council. The Council took it upon themselves to regulate the world of Heroes and Villains for whatever reasons they had. They created 3 Schools, of sorts, to help Metas to keep the status quo and to keep them in check to an extent. First there was the Academy, made for young Metas to adapt to and control their powers. The second of them the Institute was made for those young metas whose powers were so dangerous or unpredictable that they needed to be placed in a controlled environment. The Institute has harsher guidelines and security, but gives more room for growth than the relative safety of the Academy. The third of the Schools, was unique, as it is the only one under the near full control of the Shadow Council and their Agents.
The Compound, as it is called, is more like a military base than a school, when compared to the others. While most of its ‘Student’s are those who have left the Academy and Institute but were un able to fully adapt to the real world, or simply heroes that neglect the rules put out by the Council, they are not all of the students. The other students are those that even the Institute couldn’t handle mostly, so they are younger than the others, and in most caes they have less real experience than the others. This is not their only problem; they wouldn’t be in the Compound if it was. Many of the younger students have strange or nigh uncontrollable or just simply troublesome powers. The Compounds location is more secretive than even the location of the Academy or Institute, which is saying something, due to the massive security measures taken by those schools.
Help Needed: Fleshing out all the needed info, as well as any lore that may be needed.

RP INTEREST AND FEEDBACK REQUEST
Please provide as much detail as possible.
RP's Overarching Concept: You will be a person (Human Alien or Otherwise), that has come to Terra, either for the first time or you are returning.
Genre/s: Cyberpunk Noir (Which encompasses Dystopian and FT elements)
Character or Faction Based: Character
Detailed Description: Once, this world was not that much different from ours, the same tech was present, even many of the same Historic events. This however all changed in early 2020 when Espers were first discovered. We have all heard of people supposedly having psychic abilities, these were all thought to be hoaxes. On January 1st, new years day 2020, a large group of Hostile militants took over the White House, along with several other places in countries across the world, that symbolized them to an extent. The Militants held the Symbols of the country hostage, along with the people within, they declared they would destroy the Buildings, the people, and themselves if their demands were not met. The situation was definitely looking bleak, but at the last moment things changed, in all the countries this happened people emerged. These people came from all walks of life, they were businessmen, food vendors, lawmen, criminals, But the one thing they all had in common was the had wondrous abilities, akin to those of superheroes.

These people were what would later be known as Espers, people with Psychic abilities. They easily resolved the issues, the Militiants did not stand a chance, but that was not the last of it. After the Heroes emerged, others started to come out of the woodwork as well. Some could control energy with their minds, others had ungodly strength or endurance, their powers were not always functional however, some could merely grow body hair faster, or were able to consume any food and not get food poisoning. For a while crime was down all over the world and many reforms and programs were put into motion for the betterment of the world. This all changed 5 years later with the Esper War in 2025, A certain country that no longer existed had been planning in secret an invaded another country, not with normal soldiers, but with Esper Troops. That was not the worst of it however, the country for the last 5 years had been developing weapons that synergized with certain Esper skills, these were the main problem.

Though it was only a single country its technology and organization was far ahead of most of the other countries who had been focusing on social and economic reforms rather than military things. The Esper War was waged for 5 years, before it finally ended with many people dying, but like any similar periods in history this horrid incident did have its upsides. In the following 5 years, after the War, the world became mostly united, still with individual power centers and the occasional rivalry though. Although the Governments of the world held the most power, they were not the only ones, not anymore. Due to the War, another thing happened, many companies that while being well known weren’t that powerful became so, the War provided ample opportunity. New technologies were developed from Cybernetics to interstellar space travel. With the mostly unified government came new reforms, with them came many laws showing preferential treatment towards Espers, though not to the point that normal humans were treated as many minorities were in the past. From 2040 onwards earth was a good place to live, and had made contact with many races and planets outside our system, however things were not to last, certain Companies got greedy.

Chief among them was Xylon Pharmacuetics and Technology or Xylon PharmTech, they had done much experiments on the criminal espers and had figured out a way to synthesis a serum to create new espers. Though Powerful espers could pass a portion of their powers to a descendant through certain procedures, the problem was that process was very conditional, what Xylon made was not. The serums could grant one certain esper powers, in the beginning the powers while great usually consumed their user within a week, the serum was also somewhat addicting. As time went on Xylon refined the process and made it so there were two types the Alpha serum and the Omega serum. The first granted a certain esper power, and was made to be completed in one sitting, The Omega Serum was very different however. It was made to only be temporary with litte side effects, but it also gave effects similar to street drugs of decades past. The more one used them, the more they became addicted, this version of the Serum was sold on the street, under certain names for each type: Dragonscale for ones that increased durability, Firestarter for fire abilities, and similar names for the others.

*As with any drug, things got out of control, it all began when an esper called, Rodger Conrad, got a hold of the recipe for the serums. See, his Esper ability wasn’t anything major, he could only concoct any drug and enhance the effects, as long as he knew the recipe, he also changed it a bit, and made it into an aerosol solution. He released it into the earths atmosphere, this caused a whole host of problems, creating legions of new espers. Many died, especially in the ensuing riots, this incident caused people who once revered and lived alongside Espers, to turn on them. A group rose calling itself the Pure Human Liberation Front, that publically declared war on all Espers, Thus began the advent of the Second Esper War. This lasted for 10 years ending not just with millions of deaths, but also something happened to the earth it became nearly uninhabitable to normal humans. In the year 2052, just 2 years after the end of the Second Esper War, humanity gave up on trying to reform the planet, and finally abandoned it in what became known as the Exodus.

Years later humanity finally recovered, but the PHLF was never fully destroyed, and still lurks somewhere in the Milky Way. Humanity has settled across the stars, with Terra, also called New Earth being the main hub for human activity in the Milky Way. In the 133 years since the Exodus, humanity from Earth has formed the Terran Federation, along with non Earth Humans and a few other races, becoming a part of the major power in the Milky Way, the Milky Way Systems Coalition, known widely as simply the Coalition. They have also advanced in technology, and Espers now once again hold importance, every race they have discovered has had one form of espers or another. Most Espers hold posts of importance wherever they are, no matter their ability, even an esper who can only grow teeth back at a faster rate can get a good job easily. Most Espers not with a Company or the Federation Military are either Pirates, or Bounty hunters and the like that hunt the former. They have encountered many races, hostile and friendly, and discovered Ruins, that house things beyond the dreams of mere mortals, things from the Races that came before us, they can be anywhere, even earth had one, though we weren’t able to explore it before the Second Esper War.


Need Help With: Fleshing out the Esper classes and types, as well as creating Districts/Zones for Terra. Determining which words will need to go in the Glossary.

Please leave this hashtag in place: #Mentorhelp

Also i need an opinion on the Description, which will serve as the Genral history, i am still typing the synopsis up.

(From the *) After many incidents, that eventually led to the discovery that it was Xylon making and distributing the Serums, they were heavily fined and had to make Reparations. One of the things Xylon did that nearly evened the scales was the creation of the massive city, Terra. Since its creation Terra, has become one of the major Living places for the Wealthy and influential, as well as one of the major attractions on Earth for the Alien races Earth has come into contact with. It has been 50 years since then, but recently rumors have been floating to the ears of the officials of things eerily similar to the effects of the Serums, but they were all reputedly destroyed. (This would start from the onset of another incident with the Serums, while still being on Earth)

The above or a revised version of the current description being a bit more vague about the PHLF, and the Drug will have resulted in a powerful Esper destroyuing the Earth.

I am most likely going with The Compound for now.

RP Description: In this world of ours there exist meta-humans, those with extraordinary abilities. Those that use their powers for good are called Heroes, those that use them for evil are called Villains. After an event years ago, that shook much of the Meta world, a group formed, The Shadow Council. The Council took it upon themselves to regulate the world of Heroes and Villains for whatever reasons they had. They created 3 Schools, of sorts, to help Metas to keep the status quo and to keep them in check to an extent. First there was the Academy, made for young Metas to adapt to and control their powers. The second of them the Institute was made for those young metas whose powers were so dangerous or unpredictable that they needed to be placed in a controlled environment. The Institute has harsher guidelines and security, but gives more room for growth than the relative safety of the Academy. The third of the Schools, was unique, as it is the only one under the near full control of the Shadow Council and their Agents.
The Compound, as it is called, is more like a military base than a school, when compared to the others. While most of its ‘Student’s are those who have left the Academy and Institute but were un able to fully adapt to the real world, or simply heroes that neglect the rules put out by the Council, they are not all of the students. The other students are those that even the Institute couldn’t handle mostly, so they are younger than the others, and in most caes they have less real experience than the others. This is not their only problem; they wouldn’t be in the Compound if it was. Many of the younger students have strange or nigh uncontrollable or just simply troublesome powers. The Compounds location is more secretive than even the location of the Academy or Institute, which is saying something, due to the massive security measures taken by those schools.
Help Needed: Fleshing out all the needed info, as well as any lore that may be needed.

RP INTEREST AND FEEDBACK REQUEST
Please provide as much detail as possible.
RP's Overarching Concept: You will be a person (Human Alien or Otherwise), that has come to Terra, either for the first time or you are returning.
Genre/s: Cyberpunk Noir (Which encompasses Dystopian and FT elements)
Character or Faction Based: Character
Detailed Description: Once, this world was not that much different from ours, the same tech was present, even many of the same Historic events. This however all changed in early 2020 when Espers were first discovered. We have all heard of people supposedly having psychic abilities, these were all thought to be hoaxes. On January 1st, new years day 2020, a large group of Hostile militants took over the White House, along with several other places in countries across the world, that symbolized them to an extent. The Militants held the Symbols of the country hostage, along with the people within, they declared they would destroy the Buildings, the people, and themselves if their demands were not met. The situation was definitely looking bleak, but at the last moment things changed, in all the countries this happened people emerged. These people came from all walks of life, they were businessmen, food vendors, lawmen, criminals, But the one thing they all had in common was the had wondrous abilities, akin to those of superheroes.

These people were what would later be known as Espers, people with Psychic abilities. They easily resolved the issues, the Militiants did not stand a chance, but that was not the last of it. After the Heroes emerged, others started to come out of the woodwork as well. Some could control energy with their minds, others had ungodly strength or endurance, their powers were not always functional however, some could merely grow body hair faster, or were able to consume any food and not get food poisoning. For a while crime was down all over the world and many reforms and programs were put into motion for the betterment of the world. This all changed 5 years later with the Esper War in 2025, A certain country that no longer existed had been planning in secret an invaded another country, not with normal soldiers, but with Esper Troops. That was not the worst of it however, the country for the last 5 years had been developing weapons that synergized with certain Esper skills, these were the main problem.

Though it was only a single country its technology and organization was far ahead of most of the other countries who had been focusing on social and economic reforms rather than military things. The Esper War was waged for 5 years, before it finally ended with many people dying, but like any similar periods in history this horrid incident did have its upsides. In the following 5 years, after the War, the world became mostly united, still with individual power centers and the occasional rivalry though. Although the Governments of the world held the most power, they were not the only ones, not anymore. Due to the War, another thing happened, many companies that while being well known weren’t that powerful became so, the War provided ample opportunity. New technologies were developed from Cybernetics to interstellar space travel. With the mostly unified government came new reforms, with them came many laws showing preferential treatment towards Espers, though not to the point that normal humans were treated as many minorities were in the past. From 2040 onwards earth was a good place to live, and had made contact with many races and planets outside our system, however things were not to last, certain Companies got greedy.

Chief among them was Xylon Pharmacuetics and Technology or Xylon PharmTech, they had done much experiments on the criminal espers and had figured out a way to synthesis a serum to create new espers. Though Powerful espers could pass a portion of their powers to a descendant through certain procedures, the problem was that process was very conditional, what Xylon made was not. The serums could grant one certain esper powers, in the beginning the powers while great usually consumed their user within a week, the serum was also somewhat addicting. As time went on Xylon refined the process and made it so there were two types the Alpha serum and the Omega serum. The first granted a certain esper power, and was made to be completed in one sitting, The Omega Serum was very different however. It was made to only be temporary with litte side effects, but it also gave effects similar to street drugs of decades past. The more one used them, the more they became addicted, this version of the Serum was sold on the street, under certain names for each type: Dragonscale for ones that increased durability, Firestarter for fire abilities, and similar names for the others.

*As with any drug, things got out of control, it all began when an esper called, Rodger Conrad, got a hold of the recipe for the serums. See, his Esper ability wasn’t anything major, he could only concoct any drug and enhance the effects, as long as he knew the recipe, he also changed it a bit, and made it into an aerosol solution. He released it into the earths atmosphere, this caused a whole host of problems, creating legions of new espers. Many died, especially in the ensuing riots, this incident caused people who once revered and lived alongside Espers, to turn on them. A group rose calling itself the Pure Human Liberation Front, that publically declared war on all Espers, Thus began the advent of the Second Esper War. This lasted for 10 years ending not just with millions of deaths, but also something happened to the earth it became nearly uninhabitable to normal humans. In the year 2052, just 2 years after the end of the Second Esper War, humanity gave up on trying to reform the planet, and finally abandoned it in what became known as the Exodus.

Years later humanity finally recovered, but the PHLF was never fully destroyed, and still lurks somewhere in the Milky Way. Humanity has settled across the stars, with Terra, also called New Earth being the main hub for human activity in the Milky Way. In the 133 years since the Exodus, humanity from Earth has formed the Terran Federation, along with non Earth Humans and a few other races, becoming a part of the major power in the Milky Way, the Milky Way Systems Coalition, known widely as simply the Coalition. They have also advanced in technology, and Espers now once again hold importance, every race they have discovered has had one form of espers or another. Most Espers hold posts of importance wherever they are, no matter their ability, even an esper who can only grow teeth back at a faster rate can get a good job easily. Most Espers not with a Company or the Federation Military are either Pirates, or Bounty hunters and the like that hunt the former. They have encountered many races, hostile and friendly, and discovered Ruins, that house things beyond the dreams of mere mortals, things from the Races that came before us, they can be anywhere, even earth had one, though we weren’t able to explore it before the Second Esper War.


Need Help With: Fleshing out the Esper classes and types, as well as creating Districts/Zones for Terra. Determining which words will need to go in the Glossary.

Please leave this hashtag in place: #Mentorhelp

Also i need an opinion on the Description, which will serve as the Genral history, i am still typing the synopsis up.

(From the *) After many incidents, that eventually led to the discovery that it was Xylon making and distributing the Serums, they were heavily fined and had to make Reparations. One of the things Xylon did that nearly evened the scales was the creation of the massive city, Terra. Since its creation Terra, has become one of the major Living places for the Wealthy and influential, as well as one of the major attractions on Earth for the Alien races Earth has come into contact with. It has been 50 years since then, but recently rumors have been floating to the ears of the officials of things eerily similar to the effects of the Serums, but they were all reputedly destroyed. (This would start from the onset of another incident with the Serums, while still being on Earth)

The above or a revised version of the current description being a bit more vague about the PHLF, and the Drug will have resulted in a powerful Esper destroyuing the Earth.

I am most likely going with The Compound for now.

I like the Compound a lot!

And yea, maybe a radical anarchist-type oil baron, who is inciting rage in the people in order to de-stabilize the government?


I say a guy (Who is not the only one like this), that was once a good guy, but he lost money or something, a while back, then recently he had gained money again, but with that his actions had changed drastically, and had been using his consideral power for less savory things. It would be part of an overarching pot, not sure if you want that.

This is what i have so far. It will still need worked out.

Once we Were Villains


Superheroes exist in this world, as do their less righteous counterparts, Super villains. Most of the current youths of the world grew up heroes or reading about heroes, though they have been around since long before that. Throughout history and legends there have been stories of those who could wield fire or fly, or possessed unimaginable strength. Once these stories were thought to be the result of gross embellishment and superstition, it was only during the end of the First World War, that we realized how wrong we were. It was during one of the first British incursions involving Tanks to storm a town in newfoundland called monche-Le-Preux. The armed forces were told to stay behind and wait while the artillery softened up the enemy positions, unfortunately The Armored division was not told this thus they advanced in the night. The incursion was mostly a success, until the enemy realized they had no infantry support, then the Tanks were stormed. They would have all been killed were it not for an Englishmen later to be known as the Colonel, due to his military bearing and upbringing.

The Colonel was a Meta,(Which is what Superhumans are called now) he could control Metals, though it was not until that moment until he had used his powers on such a scale. This marked only the first of such incidents, as well as the changing of an era. In the decades that followed, Metas played a major part in many notable battles across the world, though this stopped with the onset of the Cold War, another from of Mutually Ensured Destruction. In the Early 2000’s the worlds first Group of Superheroes formed, they called themselves the League, They were Based in the US though were from across the world. After the League formed, various supervillain organizations cropped up, the most notable and infamous of them being The Society. It is still not known how many members the Society had, The only well-known Villain was Samurai, a Meta Called Hoitsu Inaba, who became most well-known during the push towards Japan during WW2. They were by far the greatest foe of the League, and they were almost their death.

It happened in 2013, on Halloween, The Society orchestrated a massive series of Crimes, culminating in the only successful robbery of Fort Knox. In the series of battles that followed, the League had the upper-hand, but that all changed in the final fight that happened in New York, an iconic place for an iconic battle. All was going well when the tables turned on the League, the Society had the League on the ropes, and even now it is not known why they didn’t kill them and finish them off. After the Battle, the League became even more famous while the Society and its members faded from view over the following months.

I have yet to decide what comes after, but I was thinking a new group of villains popped up and took out the League then stuff, idk.

I'm a big fan of the Villain idea. Not many Rp's focus on being the badguy while simultaneously having a plot and a story and the like. It sounds really fun.

With the mostly unified government came new reforms, with them came many laws showing preferential treatment towards Espers, though not to the point that normal humans were treated as many minorities were in the past. From 2040 onwards earth was a good place to live, and had made contact with many races and planets outside our system, however things were not to last, certain Companies got greedy.

Chief among them was Xylon Pharmacuetics and Technology or Xylon PharmTech, they had done much experiments on the criminal espers and had figured out a way to synthesis a serum to create new espers. Though Powerful espers could pass a portion of their powers to a descendant through certain procedures, the problem was that process was very conditional, what Xylon made was not. The serums could grant one certain esper powers, in the beginning the powers while great usually consumed their user within a week, the serum was also somewhat addicting. As time went on Xylon refined the process and made it so there were two types the Alpha serum and the Omega serum. The first granted a certain esper power, and was made to be completed in one sitting, The Omega Serum was very different however. It was made to only be temporary with litte side effects, but it also gave effects similar to street drugs of decades past. The more one used them, the more they became addicted, this version of the Serum was sold on the street, under certain names for each type: Dragonscale for ones that increased durability, Firestarter for fire abilities, and similar names for the others.

*As with any drug, things got out of control, it all began when an esper called, Rodger Conrad, got a hold of the recipe for the serums. See, his Esper ability wasn’t anything major, he could only concoct any drug and enhance the effects, as long as he knew the recipe, he also changed it a bit, and made it into an aerosol solution. He released it into the earths atmosphere, this caused a whole host of problems, creating legions of new espers. Many died, especially in the ensuing riots, this incident caused people who once revered and lived alongside Espers, to turn on them. A group rose calling itself the Pure Human Liberation Front, that publically declared war on all Espers, Thus began the advent of the Second Esper War. This lasted for 10 years ending not just with millions of deaths, but also something happened to the earth it became nearly uninhabitable to normal humans. In the year 2052, just 2 years after the end of the Second Esper War, humanity gave up on trying to reform the planet, and finally abandoned it in what became known as the Exodus.

Years later humanity finally recovered, but the PHLF was never fully destroyed, and still lurks somewhere in the Milky Way. Humanity has settled across the stars, with Terra, also called New Earth being the main hub for human activity in the Milky Way. In the 133 years since the Exodus, humanity from Earth has formed the Terran Federation, along with non Earth Humans and a few other races, becoming a part of the major power in the Milky Way, the Milky Way Systems Coalition, known widely as simply the Coalition. They have also advanced in technology, and Espers now once again hold importance, every race they have discovered has had one form of espers or another. Most Espers hold posts of importance wherever they are, no matter their ability, even an esper who can only grow teeth back at a faster rate can get a good job easily. Most Espers not with a Company or the Federation Military are either Pirates, or Bounty hunters and the like that hunt the former. They have encountered many races, hostile and friendly, and discovered Ruins, that house things beyond the dreams of mere mortals, things from the Races that came before us, they can be anywhere, even earth had one, though we weren’t able to explore it before the Second Esper War.


Need Help With: Fleshing out the Esper classes and types, as well as creating Districts/Zones for Terra. Determining which words will need to go in the Glossary.

Please leave this hashtag in place: #Mentorhelp

Also i need an opinion on the Description, which will serve as the Genral history, i am still typing the synopsis up.

(From the *) After many incidents, that eventually led to the discovery that it was Xylon making and distributing the Serums, they were heavily fined and had to make Reparations. One of the things Xylon did that nearly evened the scales was the creation of the massive city, Terra. Since its creation Terra, has become one of the major Living places for the Wealthy and influential, as well as one of the major attractions on Earth for the Alien races Earth has come into contact with. It has been 50 years since then, but recently rumors have been floating to the ears of the officials of things eerily similar to the effects of the Serums, but they were all reputedly destroyed. (This would start from the onset of another incident with the Serums, while still being on Earth)

The above or a revised version of the current description being a bit more vague about the PHLF, and the Drug will have resulted in a powerful Esper destroyuing the Earth.

I am most likely going with The Compound for now.

I'm a big fan of the Villain idea. Not many Rp's focus on being the badguy while simultaneously having a plot and a story and the like. It sounds really fun.


I will be doing that eventually, but another rper (First Galactic Empire) was going to do something like that soon. I am just unsure whether to have it go an old Man Logan route, or have the Villains become the 'Good Guys' due to the fact that the new big villains won't leave them alone.

Hoitsu inaba, for one would just cut the emmisary of the group in half for bothering him too much, he is a samurai from the 9th century, who were little more than well trained hired thugs. He is also near immortal.

@Sal, if you would pay attention over at the Academy, it is kind of going to involve that.
