The defense system was orgiginally supposed to have evil detectors, laser turrents, plasma shields, etc. But then the construction workers had to cut corners, so the only defenses are a very weak shield surrounding base, and a couple turrents outside base.

OOC Rules

Show

No destroying HQ. You can inflict damage on it, but if you want to do a lot of damage or destroy it, PM me.
Romance sub-plots are allowed, but they may only appear rarely.
No attacking other members. If you're battling each other in the arena or training room, it's fine.

FAQ

Spoiler

Show

What is the rings of power:The Rings of Power is a group made up of people with power rings. It was formed by Maxios, after he discovered a green ring in a treasure horde. He then built the base with the money he got from the treasure horde, after all rewards were split between the questers, he built HQ.

Ooookay. What does the group DO?
It's dedicated to fighting crime and battling evil of any form. Even in the form of penguins.

So that means no one evil can join?No. If the group says that, they're subject to a lawsuit over not allowing evil to join. Evil PCs CAN join, but they can't actively commit evil acts.

Why isn't the title an acryonym like the other groups:
The PCs will decide on the name of the group, then the title of the thread will be changed. The name of the group has been decided (LANTERN) and the acronym itself, is nearly finished.

Currently, Maxios is sitting in the entrance hall next to a cake. A banner sitting above him reading "WELCOME TO THE GRAND OPENING OF THE RINGS OF POWER"

[Maxios]

Maxios is a little annoyed at the fact that no one's joined yet. He's reading an instruction manual "How to handle Green Power Rings"

[Rae Artemi]

Rae flies into the headquarters.

Huh. Thought I saw some green energy.

He says when he sees Maxios, and then he looks around, taking in the place.

You do know that every other organization that uses these things are called Lantern Corps, right?

[Maxios]

"Yeah. I'm still deciding on the name of the group though. Either RAM (Rings of Almighty Power) or the Corps." Maxios tells Rae, obviously happy to have someone come to the HQ.

[Rae Artemi]

How about LANTERN? We can figure out what it means later.

Rae says, taking a piece of cake.

[Maxios]

"Alright. That could work." Maxios says, grabbing a slice of cake.

[Rae Artemi]

Hmm. But what could it stand for? L words, L words, L words... Lovers, Lawful, Least, Law, Losers, Lamenting, Lovely, Loyal...

He continues listing words while eating his cake.

[Maxios]

"Law Abiding could be L and A."

[Rae Artemi]

I thought so too, but that seems... restricting. The last time I was in a corps, we didn't really obey the law, but we still got things done. Sort of. I think. Can't really remember much from then.

Translation, most of it hasn't happened yet.

[ThirdEmperor]

Both people in the HQ may notice that there is, without any explanation, a cat now in the base. It is Chezchire, who walks over to the table, jumps up and attempts to nom some cake. Because Chezchire likes to keep an eye on all organizations, no matter how small they are. Meow.

[Rae Artemi]

Hullo kitty.

Rae says, using his ring to translate feline.

[Maxios]

Rae: "Good point. Maybe Lawful Almighty perhaps? Or something? I got it! L: Lantern. A: Almighty."

Chezcire: "Welcome to LANTERN HQ! Take a power ring!" Maxios says, holding a bowl filled with power rings to Chezchire.

[ThirdEmperor]

Meow. The cat says, which translates into: "Meow.". The cat looks at the bowl of power rings, reaches out lazily... Then tries to grab as many as it can!

[Rae Artemi]

They won't work unless you let the right one choose you.

Rae says, before taking a big bite of cake.

[Maxios]

"Greed suits you best. Take this." Maxios hands the cat an orange ring.

[ThirdEmperor]

(Did the cat get the bowl?)

[Maxios]

(Yeah. Since he was trying to take them all, Maxios assumed that an orange ring would fit him best)

[ThirdEmperor]

The cat looks at the ring, then at the bowl. Then it shoves the bowl into it's mouth and swallows at massive speed, despite the fact that it's mouth really isn't big enough to do so. Then it tries to grab the ring with it's tail.

[Maxios]

Luckily, Maxios, realizing the cat was going to eat the bowl with rings, he uses his green ring to move all the rings out, but not the one the cat has.

[Rae Artemi]

Yeah, no.

Rae says, pointing his ring at the cat.

Spit that out or I take it out.

[Maxios]

"It will come out on it's own eventually, but we definently won't use it then." Maxios tells Rae.

[Rae Artemi]

Yeah, why don't you just give those to me?

Rae says to Maxios, holding his hand out.

[ThirdEmperor]

Angrily, Chezchire attempts to grab a few rings and shove them inside his mouth before they get away. The bowl ain't coming back though.

[Maxios]

"No! Bad cat!" Maxios says handing the rings to Alec. He uses the ring to conjure a squirt bottle, and squirts the cat a couple times.

[Rae Artemi]

Wait, who's Alec? If you meant Rae, yeah, Rae will take them and put them in his pocket, and then run his finger along the opening, which will disappear.

[Maxios]

(Alec is another character on a thread I post on, I got them mixed up.)
"Alright. The cat won't eat the rings now."

[ThirdEmperor]

The cat leaps away, hissing, the orange ring clutched in it's tail. Quickly, before it can lose this one to, it pops the ring in it's mouth and swallows. Maxios and Rae might notice a slight, almost imperceptible under all it's fur, increase in it's girth, and the orange glow of his eyes is much more noticeable. I can has anothr ring nao? They taste liek powr.

[Maxios]

"Oh my god. You just...absorbed the ring. It's powers are now permanently in you."

[Rae Artemi]

No. No you can't. You get one, and you just wasted it. Good job.

Rae says, going back to eating his cake.

[Maxios]

Maxios eats the rest of his cake in one gulp.
"Do you want a tour?" He asks Rae and the cat.
