Post and discuss the current events happening in your characters' canon right now [plus points if its a news article]
 Unlike the timeline thread, this one focuses on more current events and what direction your fighter(s) are going.

MAN IN BLACK KILLS HUNDREDS, PEOPLE REJOICE

A man reported on the internet as Agent Black is currently on a megalomanic rampage to wipe out crime from the city- it is said that the psychopathic hitman was seen in several places at once while confined in jail by the VCPD.  The death toll has exceeded 200 people- all of whom were mid to high level affiliates to known crime organizations as well as big name companies that are now under suspicion of dealing in black market activity. Fighters have so far remained unharmed even though Battlecast has been airing clips for the passed week. But will his trail stop there ?

Police Chief Centipete has released Black today congratulating his efforts to clean up the city but warns him and others not to take the law into their own hands. Talks about a trial is questionable.

Dr. Pye Found Dead in Lab

Dr. Pye was found dead in his laboratory late this afternoon. It is estimated that he died sometime last week, discovered today by a homeless man seeking shelter for the night. Cause of death is unknown, but the doctor was found decapitated, possibly from some sort of lab accident or small explosion. Police have not ruled out suicide as a possible explanation, as further search yielded bags and boxes of his belongings labeled for charitable donations, as well as the deed for his properties and will. With no family, the will states that any assets not donated to charity be auctioned off to the highest bidder, the proceeds of which will then be donated to VC Orphanage No. 314, in the Fur District.

Pye was known primarily for founding the Haven, a small religious and charitable group dedicated to aiding Void's homeless population. The group disbanded in January of 2008 for unknown reasons. It is unknown at this time whether memorial services will be held.

You don't get a newspaper format because I'm not good at that kind of thing, you instead get flashy fun



Lots of stuff on the horizon in Angie Land!

After Armageddon there's some exciting developments on the way for Angie. With the battles vs. P2 and Corry she'll finally have the chance to take the next big step towards her plan to take down the Masked Men. A collab BB is also on the way with RTV that will show RTV's unexpected connection to Angie's past and a way to prevent her from having the abysmal future that's shown in RTV's latest comic. The wheels will get turning whenever Felle accepts my challenge.

This is all future stuff as I can't go into what's happening in Arma.

Next ... ON ENTERVOID

'SANDSTORM' STILL ON THE LOOSE

The sand elemental dubbed "Sandstorm" by the VCPD has seemingly gone into hiding, reports say. The mysterious woman has gained a bounty of $2 million--a relatively low number in Void City--and is currently responsible for the destruction of several blocks of property, VCPD equipment and putting countless civilians of all walks of life in the hospital. Examination of left-over sand during her battles have proven fruitless.

Sandstorm's activity began to diminish after a skirmish with a currently unidentified white monster over the skies of Void City. Eye witnesses report the woman falling from the scene of the battle, possible her first recorded retreat from any battle.

It has been confirmed that Sandstorm and the White Jackets leader P2 had a brief skirmish in a construction site, although VCPD reports that it has yet to hear back from the White Jackets about possible collaboration with attempting to capture or eliminate the threat.

Sandstorm's latest sightings were in the magic sector of the city, in an old apartment lodge. There have also been sightings of Orphanage agents in the area around the same time. Whether the two are connected is currently unknown.

Sandstorm is classified as highly aggressive and dangerous to normal civilians, with no known weakness; avoid contact with the elemental at all costs if you are not properly equipped.

I'd love to post in in news paper form, but that could happen only if my stuff would already happen.

Ever since I joined Void I was a bitch of Continuity, and Worltex was a victim of that. Worltex can't nearly exist without his continuity, but doing his flashbacks and adding new stuff is way over my head for most time - maybe summer will give me enough time to settle him with his fiance's condition and re-imagining of his gang (won't be his anymore).

As for Bob Rossomack. He has a solid background story ready to be leaked between his crazy adventures. I'm trying to finish his son business without losing his current state of mind. I used continuity to show how he reacts to his scars and I can't say that I don't like scarring him - probably will do Scar Match this summer.

Overally I'd like to place Worltex is some interesting time vortex and focus on Bob.

$25 million

I know this is an odd thing to comment on, but what's with people always giving their character crazy high sounding numbers for bounties? I mean, I know you said it was low on void, but I bet there is an ASSLOAD of criminals and hazards, and listing a giant bounty in the millions for all of them, no one could ever afford to pay up if any were collected on a regular basis. A million dollars is a TON even. Who is paying for these?

PLus, the risk isn't nearly as high on Void, as everyone has powers of some sort. I'm sure the costs of bounties is high enough for a hunter to make a comfortable living, but low enough as not to bankrupt those paying for the bounty. I'd recommend more in the thousands, not millions. but that's just me.

[Ten Dead Kings]

Maybe the Dollar is weak in Void.
And the real currency is in kittens and balls of yarn.

Just sayin'.

[PyrasTerran]

Actually that's exactly what I was under the impression of, lol..!!

Void City seemed like a place where inflation would have become atrocious with the dollar.... An over-the-top environment seems perfect to breed over-the-top prices.

The risk is something I think would apply more to normal civilians...

[William_Duel]

Man, I need 25 million just to get a loaf of bread.

[fowlie]

Sometimes Void is a city, some times a whole state... and today, it's own country.

[PyrasTerran]

haha~ isn't it? XD

[Monday]

25 mill is still a lot, that's the kind of bounty you'd shell out if you wanted to kill the president or something.

[PyrasTerran]

hm, okay~ i had actually thought it was conservative... *edit edit*

Special Report: Death in Void City downtown

At the end of this edition ( may 13 4:00 AM ), the Void city bay area ( the Fishermen channel ) was strucked down by a strange incident with major proportions: a singular energie explosion damaged several buildings in the zone, where near 300 people were injured, 56 people are still missing and 83 dead bodies were found amongst the wreckage, inside the energie burst radius.

The origin of this incident is still unclear, and as far as the VCPD Intel informs,some locals saw two superbeings fighting seconds before the incident in a alley,a woman and a man resembling a red dragon.

the searches and investigations still continue on the scene.

[(Pi)]

so i'm jumping back in. i asked the chat for a catch up on the city, and this is about my understanding of it:



Caelum City: 3 distinct districts, with flavors of Magical Girl, Red Light, or Singapore

Old Void Ruins: I guess a meteor struck?

New Void: Rebuilding, but basically the same as the old Void City. Good guys, bad guys, and normal stories.

The Tunnels: Xia's personal playground?

The Second Layer: The Old Old Void City. It was around before the meteor, so I figure it must still be there now. Maybe there's more layers and older cities even further beneath that?

[Monday]

sounds about right writing something in my battle to the same effect - except that ground zero is at the center.

[Wubble]

Yeah, that's my understanding too, along with Monday's correction. The crash site is in the center of the old Void City.

[G.Lo]

Oh man, thank you so much for that! This is super helpful, seeing it visually!

[Chimaeric]

It almost looks like Caelum City is going to be Void's Third Layer

[PyrasTerran]

Liiiithiuuuuuuum

Liiiithiuuuuuuuuuumyeaaaah

So the Tunnels are now the underground city Lithium ruled by Xia, yeah?

[Pockets]

this REALLY needs an update

[Radji]

I AGREE, THIS NEEDS AN UPDATE
i will soon post Old Dock's location on the map, and that of the Fleur de Lys Hotel and The Tunnels used by Louise and her brood

[Pockets]

sweet, i am a bit lost on the state of void city in its entirety

[Kozispoon]

It's anything you want it to be, bro. Get in that sandbox and make up stuff. Who knows? People might dig the concept enough to adopt it into their own comics. That's how these iconic places happen!
