He wears the flagella on his head slicked back like hair and has a foppish moustache. He is always trailed by a slight after-image and has an extra two skeletal limbs like a bat's wings without the flesh which he keeps folded up and hidden in his coat in an effort to appear more human. his legs are oddly thin yet still easily able to support his weight. His feet are like two-taloned claws but, like his extra limbs, he keeps them hidden.
From the head down, he wears a purple top-hat with a white band, gold-rimmed spectacles, a rilly white necktie, a striped shirt of black and white under a silky purple jacket with silver buttons, black slacks and formal leather shoes. carries around a brass pocketwatch.

Born Benjamin Arthur O'Leary was born in 1889 in Londontown, the son of a human nobleman and a starbourne traveller. From an early age, he suffered the prejudces the other races showed him and coped by emersing himself in his studies, showing a particular interest in engineering and magic. He excelled at his studies and made his way to Oxford University on a scholarship, where he was nearly killed as the result of a race-riot. Nevertheless, he not only managed to pass his final exams and get a doctorate in Post-Mortem Studies, a PhD in Applied Magic, a Masters in Xenobiology and a Doctorate in Law, but also to find his birth-mother, who called him "Stalker in the Light", the name she had planned for him, a name which stuck. After becoming graduating, he quickly grew tired of the prejudice fired against him, so he joined the Guardians in the name of Racial Equality. He grew quickly to the rank of Master, which suited him, and began lecturing at London Thaumatological And Mundane Studies, the cities primary multiracial university, in his spare time

Harper staggered out from inside the huge bell in time to see the woman preparing another bolt of electricity, this time the killing blow. He drew his colt and pulled back the hammer, the small sound drawing her gaze magically to the barrel leveled at her head.

"Please, don't pull the trigger."

Harper lowered his pistol slightly and smiled. "I wasn't going to shoot you in the head..."

"Well you should have." She moved to fire lightning right at him when he pulled the trigger, before movingit and firing again.

"...I was going to shoot you in the knees. *****, when I say come quietly, the other option is 'loud' because I'm shooting you."

He bent down and twisted her onto her front before bringing her hands behind her back and cuffing her. Finally he pulled her to her feet and dragged her to a bench near the others.

" You have the right to remain silent; anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law; you have the right to talk to a lawyer and have a lawyer present with you during questioning. You, specially, also gain the non-waivable right to be shot by me again if you try any more funny buisness. Bastian, consider her 'stopped'."

Bastian smiled and patted Harper's shoulder. "Thanks, I'll take it from here.."
The Police were approaching at that time with the unconscious Golden Skull being strapped to a stretcher and wheeled into an ambulance.
"I'm gonna have to claim Council Law section 5, guys...we'll finish our investigation and hand what we find over to you and the courts." said Bastian to the policemen.

"You're lucky your light show caught attention. We'd have ignored it if it was three days from now. You people and your light shows..." said the police inspector, walking up.
"So, whose the real mccoy?"
"The one you got heading to St. Mary's...lighting from this one here."
The inspector nodded and said "I'll leave it to the Guardians to finish their end of this. You call soon as you're ready to pass custody."
"We will..." said Bastian, picking the woman up. "Follow us." he said as a paddy wagon approached with the Guardians seal on it.

Nice Kapowey....couldn't have done better myself

Harper sighed and sat down on the wet grass, making his weapon safe before holstering it. "Ah jesus, my head is ringing after that fall. I'm not sure the human body's meant to do that, under any circumstances." Suddenly he leapt up, before staggering slightly and supporting himself on a piece of masonry. "Hey, what's happened to the priest? We were here to protect him, has anyone actually seen if he's still alive?"

Bastian jumped up "Knew I forgot something..."
Inside the police were speaking to the priest, he looked visibly upset but no worse for the wear. Bastian breathed a sigh of relief.
"Father, are you alright?" asked Bastian.
"I am unharmed, but you should not have allowed them to defile the bell tower..."
"We tried, Father. I'm sorry..."
"God will forgive you..."
Bastian took a policeman aside and said "Any way you can sweep this under the rug? We don't need the people panicking over this."
The policeman nodded and said "I'll tell the Inspector..."

Bastian walked out to see a Chrysler pull up and the doors open. "We've come to bring everyone home. High Master Arcturus needs a sitrep, and he'd like it personally."
Bastian nodded "Everyone into the car, we're going home."
Dawn was peeking just over the horizon.

Rueben sat in his room. The mask was on the bed side table. He had managed to slip out to watch the others without detection and hoped it would stay that way. Kin hadnt objected, but only under the condition that he not take direct action unless absolutely necessary. Kin firmly believed he needed more work done before he was ready to join the squad.

The others would be back soon. He stood up and walked out to the commons. Staring out the window, he watched as the car pulled up and the figures inside shuffled out. His mind seemed distant, he still was in many ways.

Later...Back at the Sanctuary

The cell the woman was kept in was bare with only a lodestone chair and quintessence bars holding her inside. She was sitting her, chin in her right hand, staring at the wall outside the bars.

Bastian stepped in, standing in front of her.
"You've been quite the difficult prisoner."
"I want a lawyer."
"Unfortunately, in the custody of the Guardians you are not permitted a lawyer if we feel you are a threat to national stability. Usually, we would just summarily execute you."
"I feel so special."
Bastian narrowed his eyes "You should. Theres something about you that High Master Pharisee sees, and you'll stay alive until your frustration outlives your usefulness. Now I will ask you again.."
"And I won't tell you again..."
"Who are you working for, Why are you dressing up like the Golden Skull, Are you attempting to form a violent uprising, Are you or are you not going to answer this time?"
The woman glared.
"I am not going to ask again...I don't even know your name, you know that?"
"It's Anastasia, and no I will not answer your questions."
"That's too bad, I was getting to like you too..."

Bastian pulled out the Silvered blade and unlocked the door. The chair burst with orange coils of energy, binding her down as he approached. "I'll make this quick, it was nice knowing you."
She began to flail, trying to crawl away but the coils held her fast.
Then she changed. A blue fire overtook her eyes and her skin went gray-white, her veins showing blue through the skin. She hissed, showing sharp teeth and screamed as horns pushed through her scalp, pushing up and curling like a devil's horns. Her fingernails became claws as she flailed, wracked with pain. She was growing larger and taller, it was clear. When it was over her eyes were a striking blue, about 3-4 inches taller and more muscular.
"I knew it..." said Bastian, sheathing the blade.
"You dare to frighten the strength out of me? You insolent...
"Be quiet, Illrian. Speak your name."
"Sareleous"
"Alright, tell me about your host."
"My Host will not reveal any information and I am beholden to her wishes. I will tell you nothing."
"You are the essence of justice, yes? You are basically fighting for justice, and your host is just helping you."
"All Illrians fight for justice, peace and freedom. We fight against the Darkness and the corruption."
"You, specifically, you are Justice. Yes?"
"I am. "
"Then tell me how violent uprising solves the probolems of prejudice. It will only make matters worse."
"It is time the world saw we, the magical and the monstrous, won't bend to the will of those who abandoned the true faith and followed the wanton path to endless loops upon the Cycle, never truly rejoining the Light. It is time that actions spoke louder than words. Three days of demolishing the established system of prejudice, three days of destroying those who stand against the Light. Three days of protest and solidarity. And three nights of fear and apprehension, before it occurs and the black feathers show their true colors. Change must happen at the root if the whole of the tree is to change."
At the end of this monologue, Bastian sighed.
"You're adamant...I can see that. Tell me, what are you planning?"
The Illrian smiled and said "We march on Parliament, the very root of power here, and we make our stand there. We will rally, protest, speak and even sit within the chambers of Parliament if we must. We will shout from the clock tower 'Equality above all' and the Light will bless our Path. We will achieve what we seek, or die as martyrs for the good cause."

Do what you want in the meantime, post is done.

Everyone has dropped out. I'm waiting for Huss, since he's Co-Creator, post something and then it's Chapter Two.

They all have OOC saying they'r either out or unable to post much at all. Once again I've failed to hold everyone's attention. Alright, Chapter Two, it's time that we went on a real adventure. The OP for Chapter Two will be as soon as I can get time. Meanwhile, hold onto your buns.

EDIT: Apparently only three...

I'm still here, I've just been a bit busy preparing Controlled Assessments. For some reason the History Dept, French Dept, English Dept and the Classics Dept thought it would be a good idea to have their CA's beginning within a week of each other, whilst all three sciences have had IAAs recently and are now doing practical assessments.

Salutations all, my final exams are done and time is once more on my side. Meaning: I should be able to post and be back. I have two recommendations though, 1 more affronting than the other. 1st, You might want to consider creating a group in which all this OOC dialogue can take place without cluttering the forum. And for the more 'edgy' recommendation ... If you're lacking players ... you could always do a reboot and use the action that occurred now as a basis for events. Keep in mind If I sound pretentious for coming back and then proposing such a thing, you're very welcome to backhand me and scream "NO, BAD!".
