Midas

He's the man with the... oh, I'm sure you can guess what touch.

0 · 782 views · located in Majestic HQ

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

Groups

Businessmen, doctors, dictators... make no mistake, we are what really runs the world.

Description

Theme – Goldfinger

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

Age: 28

Gender: Male

Race: Koopa

Alignment: Chaotic Neutral

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


Physical Description: Midas is a Koopa dressed in red, with golden gloves over his hands (usually). He doesn’t look all that distinctive.

Personality: Midas is skittish and paranoid thanks to being cursed long ago. Awkward, cowardly, and jumpy, he rarely acts like the master thief he supposedly is, but when push comes to shove he gets the job done.

History: Midas used to be a thief… well, that’s not accurate, he still is. But he used to not be called Midas – probably something like Kopper, since he’s a Koopa and all. Anyway, one day he touched something he shouldn’t and, like the mythical King Midas, was cursed with the golden touch – thankfully limited to his hands. His unique talent got him recruited by the Marksmen, and now he works for Majestic on the basis that he’s a unique asset, but who knows how long that’ll last…

Equipment: Midas’ gloves aren’t special, other than being made of gold, but since they prevent direct contact with his hands they’re what can stop him from turning everything he touches to gold.

Abilities: Midas’ cursed hands can turn anything they touch to gold.

Other: For the longest time I had no idea why Midas didn’t just turn stuff he stole into gold. Now that he works for Majestic I’ve got a decent reason.

So begins...

While the pale man works, a Koopa dressed in a red thief uniform and golden gloves practices karate against a training dummy. He's got the poses down, it's the execution he can't quite handle, often falling flat on his face when he attempts a kick.

"I'd like to see you do better!" said the Koopa, pushing himself up.

The Dupli-Brothers run up to the training dummy in glee... and begin tearing it apart with their scythes.

"I MEANT WITH KARATE!" shouted Midas, barely heard over the tearing apart of the training dummy.

"You mean like you?" asks Dupli-Green. "Oh very well. Let us, brother!"

The Dupli-Brothers both turn into copies of Midas, and begin limply slapping the training dummy's remains while shouting "DUHHHHH" constantly.

Tsan then rushed at the training dummy, delivering a rushing spearhead to it and breaking it in half. He then proceeded to split the dummy's top half with a flip-kick.

"... Show offs..." whined Midas.

Meanwhile, the man has finished welding the swords together, but has noticed that the handles for wielding them are exceptionally short, as if made specifically for someone's hands. Alex's, of course.

"Let's see if we can't get you to come out of your shell," said the man, digging through some spare parts.

The Dupli-Brothers turn back to their regular forms, giggling.

"You must not be so grumpy, Koopa!" says Dupli-Green.

"Yes, do not be so serious!" adds Dupli-Red. "Like us, you must have fun with life... and death!"

"Oh, you're just a big party-pooper!" remarks Dupli-red.

"Party-pooper, party-pooper!" sings Dupli-Green. The Dupli-Brothers then hop away, laughing.

"You lack discipline," Tsan commented. "One must be absorbed wholly into their task to be truly efficient in it."

Speaking of which, the blood sample that Valentine is through the scan - all properties, physical and mystical, are detailed on the computer.

"I was focused until the twins came along!" complained Midas.

The blood sample basically shows that there's a sort of mystical energy that flows through Alex's body, allowing him to unlock the mystical abilities in his swords.

---

Speaking of which, the pale man is working on getting new handles on the blades without damaging the part that taps into Alex's energy.

Tsan merely walked away from Midas, punting the broken dummy section out of his way.

-----

"As suspected...Well, guess I better mass-produce this, as ordered." And so Valentine got to work devising a serum with this mystical energy.

Midas, grumbling, starts cleaning up the debris and junk left from the training dummy.

---

The pale man finally gets something that works and doesn't disrupt the mystical energy. Using the original swords as a template, he pulls out several shards of crystal and gets to work producing copies of them.

Valentine has by now completed the first few vials of the serum. "Good. Now for a proper guinea pig to apply one to..."

Conveniently, Midas is passing by Valentine, carrying a bag of garbage with the remains of the training dummy in it.

Valentine stuck a syringe of the serum into Midas's arm and injected. "By estimate, you'll feel a bit of a rush soon after."

Midas twitches around violently, proving the "bit of a rush" an understatement.
