Gracchus

I am the voice of the people, and I have spoken.

0 · 1,018 views · located in Edge Town & Edge Wilds

a character in “Fusion Fantasy Neo”, originally authored by Alexander von Koopa, as played by RolePlayGateway

Description

Theme – Scavenger

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Age: Variable (See Physical Description)

Gender: Variable (See Physical Description; for ease of use the pronoun β€œhe” will be used)

Race: Usually Human

Alignment: Chaotic Neutral

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Physical Description: Gracchus has chosen to present himself as more idea than man, and is represented by the classical theatre masks of comedy and tragedy. Multiple people wear the masks of Gracchus, of all ages, races, and genders, so defining what Gracchus looks like beyond that is folly. The original Gracchus has chosen to lose himself in a sea of others, so identifying him is folly as well.

Personality: Gracchus considers himself the voice of the people, and will do any dirty trick necessary to ensure the people remain free. This often puts him at odds with royalty and governing bodies, benevolent and despotic alike. Gracchus is often brash and impulsive, rarely thinking his actions through and preferring to attack guerilla-style when and where he sees fit.

History: Gracchus got his start as just a man, screaming on a soapbox, but when no one took notice then, he decided to become something more. Starting up a message board, Gracchus began spreading his ideas anonymously, and soon several men and women wearing the mask of Gracchus began to pop up. They are a notable presence in war-torn areas of Haven and occasionally the less cared for parts of the rest of the world, but unless organized, not a serious threat. Lately, though, teams of Gracchus have begun to use similar tactics to Majestic troops, indicating some kind of connection…

Equipment: Each individual Gracchus holds their own personalized equipment, but usually they wield military-grade hardware, or things cobbled together in some machine shop.

Abilities: Gracchus holds no special abilities (unless already held by whoever wears the mask), but he (she) is usually at the peak of human condition.

Other: Gracchus’ problem is not so much with superhumans as it is with order and social injustice, so why he’s working with Majestic is a mystery…

So begins...

Parasoul lunged Krieg into "Duma" behind while whipping out her pistol and shooting "Dr. Y" in the arm and neckline several times.

"I don't need to explain a damn thing!" said "Alex", stabbing Lucas.

"Duma" winces in pain, and responds by biting harder into Parasoul. "Dr. Y," however, does not seem to be very affected, and begins shooting Parsoul.

As "Alex" lunged his blade at Lucas, the Templar sidestepped and grabbed the blade, pushing down on it. "Come to think of it...you don't sound much like Alex. I feel like I've heard that voice recently...from someone else."

-----

Parasoul, her arm in "Duma"'s jaws, leaped upward, letting "Dr. Y"'s shots fly at "Duma" instead.

"Duma" is knocked off of Parasoul, but "Dr. Y" leaps after the latter and attempts to strike her with the butt of his shotgun.

The blade (Bane) glows with arcane fire, burning Lucas pretty badly as he holds down on it, as "Alex" uses his other blade (Entropy) to teleport behind Lucas and swing at him from there.

---

Meanwhile, the giant robot continues its approach, crushing, shooting, or otherwise destroying several guards, barricades, civilians, and other nonsense.

Parasoul strikes through the shotgun's end several times with Krieg's tip ablaze.

-----

The DRACOS Junction's gloves are pretty resilient, so the fire is no big issue. The teleportation is, though, but Lucas heard him coming from behind. With that, he parried with a harmonic-enforced punch.

"So who are you really?!"

Mockingbird's voice comes on via a hidden communicator in "Alex"'s ear.

"Listen closely and say whatever I say," said Mockingbird.

A few seconds later.

"I'm Alexander von Koopa," said "Alex". "The man you were going to betray to Judah, all because he was paranoid that I would go crazy with these. Guess what? He was right."

"Alex" headbutts Lucas away.

The shotgun is damaged, but remains in one piece. "Dr. Y" then delivers a kick to Parasoul's stomach.

"!" This guy's words cut into Lucas, leaving him open to this headbutt. Once he regained his footing, though... "No! I wasn't going to let Judah take you in! Not with Morbul waking! But that green-haired troublemaker came and stole - (!)"

Ah, that's right...

"...Are you with Majestic?!"

"Tell me something," asked "Alex". "If Morbul wasn't in danger of being awoken... would you have let me keep these?"

A shot rings out as one of "Patches"'s bullets strikes Lucas in the abdomen.

"Or, if the green-haired man didn't come," asked Alex. "Would you have let me keep them after Morbul was dealt with somehow?"

Lucas was indeed hit by "Patches"'s shot, falling to his hands and knees in pain.

"...The real Alex...didn't want to find the blades...He didn't...want to be dragged in again...You can't fool me...!"

"It doesn't matter what you think I am," said "Alex". "I'm Alexander von Koopa. I have his swords. That's good enough for the planet no matter what a whining little boy may think."

Before "Alex" could make another move, he was grabbed by a large clawed phantasmal hand...extending from Lucas's back. The young soldier became enveloped in a strange harmonic glow, his irises sparking.

"'HIS' swords, you said...?"

Suddenly, more of the phantasmal form around Lucas manifested - two clawed arms, two large feathered wings, and a dragon's head looming over, a mane similar to Lucas's hairstyle and eyes glowing with indigo irises. As Lucas spoke, so did this dragon form.

"Try not to lie to me again - WHO ARE YOU?!"

"Do you think you can get answers by threatening me?" asked "Alex". "You sad, deluded boy. It doesn't matter what you do to me. You'll still be too late to stop us."

The robot has arrived at the embassy and is blasting away at it, starting to bring the whole building down. Judah, realizing that his men don't stand a chance against the robot, is hauling ass out of the embassy through a secret back entrance.

Lucas's dragon phantom seized "Alex" with both claws, crushing him tightly while lifting him into the air. Lucas himself began levitating as the dragon phantom whipped out a fur-lined tail.

"Then I'll get the answers by FORCE!"

While crushing "Alex", Lucas surged a harmonic vibe through the Koopa, almost like a scanning wave, seeing into the crevasses of his mind, realizing his true identity and his organization...

The name "Midas" and the word "Majestic" is all Lucas gets, because the scan is cut off by "Alex" suddenly disappearing and reappearing behind Lucas.

"Naughty, naughty," said "Alex". "You'll have to buy me dinner first."

Lucas quickly turned toward "Alex". "Thought you looked familiar...Midas." The dragon phantom's claws started sparking with an indigo electricity as he dove at Midas, striking with several electrified slashes.

"Feel the might of Atmo!!" Lucas conjured an Atmo Zone around Midas, an electric spherical area that shocked the Koopa fiercely.

Midas is shocked fiercely and thrown to the floor.

"Wonderful," said Midas, still disguised as Alex. "One insane dragon boy thinks I'm not Alex. The plans of the White Platoon are ruined forever. All is lost. We had better retreat now, the plan to kill Judah surely failed."

Several news crews have by now shown up, reporting on the scene. Midas teleports over to one of them.

"Tell me something," asked Midas. "Do I look like Alexander von Koopa to you?"

"... Yes?" asked a reporter.

"Good," said Midas. "Unlike some people you can see things and make the obvious conclusion."

Midas stabs the reporter.

Meanwhile, Judah escapes via the back entrance, watching from an alley as the embassy starts to crumble under the vicious assault of the giant robot. Unfortunately for Judah, the escape exit wasn't as secret as he thought, as a katana suddenly impales Judah straight through the chest. The katana glows with dark energy - not that any of it is necessary to accomplish its task of killing the American ambassador. As Judah drops to the ground, a hooded figure drops a smoke bomb on the ground and vanishes...

Bad choice - Lucas's dragon phantom seized Midas (without the blade) in both claws, holding him in the air in a shell-crushing grip.

"Sometimes, you have to see past the obvious to find the truth!" Lucas growled. "And I'm doubly onto your organization now. I will find Majestic and bring it to justice!"
