And so, in her wrath, the Goddess Ishtar did punish the city of Babylon and it's king, the first hero Gilgamesh. She set upon them the heavenly bull who did lay the city low and remind Gilgamesh that he was still mortal."
- Epic of Gilgamesh
The Heavenly Bull Plan has been Executed.
The hard work of Japan's Heroes has been undone.
Villains and Criminals march through the streets.
Tokyo has been set ablaze.
Ishtar has revealed herself to the world.
March 2074; Evening of the 22nd. A group of villains under the direction of the all-but-unknown villain Ishtar kidnapped the Ambassador Narcissa King and took control of the security at the Fuchu Supermax prison. Within minutes; the largest prison riot and breakout in Japanese history ripped through the facility. Villains and Criminals alike were armed and set loose onto the city streets to burn Tokyo to cinders. Their savior; Ishtar, gave them a challenge. Survive the night and disappear and they'd be welcome at her side.
Players are able to make threads during this tragic event attempting to either aid the chaos or assist in arresting and securing as many escapees as possible. Be prepared for injury, tragedy, and violence as the worst of Japan's quirkers and non-quirkers are now on the streets. You may do threads with opposing factions as well. The riots are set to end before dawn with the bulk of the horde of criminals dissolving just before the heart of Tokyo. This event is a backdrop for threads and has no specific organized threads.
The route of the main bulk of villains escaping from the prison. Distance from Fuchu to Central Tokyo: 40km.
PROMPTS/OFFICIAL ST THREADS
Below are several prompts/thread themes that players can sign up for and use.
There are also a few threads available that are specifically ST'd.
Post a response to this thread with the name of the thread/prompt you'd like to participate in and the name of your character with a link to their application.
A prompt is a line of text that provides an idea or topic to write about, Prompts do not involve an ST. It is up to you and those you are writing with to play out the prompt scenario.
There was a delay in alerting Pro-Heroes about the situation and active pros are scrambling to get to Fuchu and retake control of the situation.
[PROMPT] Save Nakano! The Hospital just south of Nakano is where most civilians caught up in the chaos have been taken, but several higher level escapees are closing in. Defend the hospital at all costs!
[PROMPT] On the Front Lines A specific intersection has become a warzone between the escapees and defenders, carnage is widespread and the damage is escalating. Put a stop to it before more lives are lost!
[ST] Inform the Informant At the cost of his own life a police officer reported that a villain by the name of Licht is attempting to make his way to Kabuchiko with a message directly from Ishtar to the villain Thunder Shock. This message could have important evidence. Capture him alive! [2 Slots]
Students!
3rd Years are fully cleared for combat as long as they're plausibly working near their hero. 2nd years are to be in safer areas, doing evacuation, abut they're not far enough out of the way that self defense or arrests are out of the question. First Years are to be moved to secured areas to help with medical or second sweep cleanup after the riots. First years may defend themselves if something gets past the police line. Red Horn has been given permission to defend students on campus. If your mentor isn't free to post it's okay to say there's a pro hero in your area that you're working with. We will not force you to thread with mentor in order to fight a villain.
[PROMPT] Be a Hero A small group of criminals and villains have changed course and made a beeline to UA. In the midst of Musutafu, with most heroes on the front lines, a group of students stand between their peers, civilians, and extreme danger.
[SCALED] You have my Attention In an accident of fate, a small group of (third year) students on the field have crossed paths with the ringleader herself. Attempt to fight her off long enough for a hero to arrive or escape! [full] Yumi Tasukai Arthur "Reddarcc" Hunter Meara O'Connor Feng "Fei" Yao
*A scaled thread tilts the stats of participating characters to make the combat/danger level more believable, intense, and exciting.
Vigilantes! The Storm Knights are organizing a consolidated front to protect the city against the wave of carnage.
[PROMPT] Brother's in Arms A group of vigilantes have moved to cordon off an area in the path of the escaping prisoners. They're under heavy fire and there's a horde between you and them. Save them!
[PROMPT] Do the Right Thing A group of civilians have secured a group of injured police officers (or vice versa) and are making an escape to Nakano. They are being pursued by a group of Ishtar's minions. Protect them!
Villains! The Goddess of Victory has given you the opportunity to cut loose and work out all that tension, destroy, pillage, and take, unleash that baser instinct you've been holding back for just one night. Just don't get caught! The next prison will be harder to break out of, no doubt!
[ST] Eliminating Loose Ends A single [npc] hero had been stationed at the prison. He has been in hiding for the past few hours, waiting for a chance to escape. He might know too much. Ishtar wants him dead. Kurosawa Jun Niso Konto
[ST] Two Steps from Freedom The Kobayashi gang has moved in to aid in the chaos; your fellow villains are looking for a place to escape to. However, a dangerous Pro-Hero has moved in to intercept. Escape the Pro and earn the respect of the Kobayashi and their allies. [2 Slots]
[PROMPT] Prove Yourself Ishtar has issued a call to all villains to join her new Villain Society, there is a catch, one must join in the chaos and make a name for themselves before disappearing and escaping the heroes. Do as much damage as possible before fleeing the pursuit of pros! Cody Ortega Kado Nisshoku
