So here's the thread.

Character look:
1333315.jpg


Power: Random. Pre-discussed and agreed terms on deciding the power. Only one at a time. Starting power: None
 
*A dark portal opens on rocky terrain and a man wearing all black walks out he has blonde hair and quite the british accent*

"I'd rather we just skip the formalities"


Ooc: I suppose i should tell you i'm luxord so luck will hopefully be on my side. also power= same as yours, based upon the roll of the dice or the drawing of the card.

"You make the first move luv."
 
Taking a drag of his cigarette, Mystro really wondered why he even showed up. He dropped it on the hard, stone ground. Regardless, he was here, therefor, he would do what he came here to do. He'd have to start in battle before his ability could come into play.

Mystro decided to start it with hand to hand since it was about all he could do. He would start with something simple, very relaxed with not much force as he sent a right hook towards the blond man.
 
"A challange is it?" *Luxord raises a card to block the fist and summons anotner card to launch a pincer attack against his opponent.

"Don't waste your time away luv, you'll regret it."

Luxord draws a card and smiles, turning it towards his opponent he yells, "Slow!" and time itself gets distorted long enough for Luxord to retreat to higher ground before the effect wears off.
 
Coin toss: Heads; tails: Ability does not aid Mystro; ability gained: Thermokinesis, the ability the manipulate the temperatures of things around him.

IC: "Tch..." off to a bad start, gaining such a useless ability this early. Whatever, maybe his ability would change or something could happen to make him use this power.

"I made my offensive mood, where's yours?" Mystro said.
 
"Hmm, well not bad, another gambler of fate, very intresting. Well I suppose I could dust of this tactic, Die!"

As he finishes, a giant 12 sided die falls from the sky and begins spinning.

"Hit the die, the number it lands on will result in a ability 2 of these are benificial to you the rest for me."
 
Coin toss: Heads; heads:Ability aids Mystro; Ability gained: Pyrokinesis.

IC: Good, a beneficial change. But he was stuck here, he only had a 1/5 chance of hitting a beneficial side to himself. "You hit it..." Mystro said as he made a blazing flame engulf around the die "But I'll be sure you can't see what you hit."

Mystros own way of being a bit more observative.
 
"Trying to outwit me luv? Not gonna work!" Luxord pulls another card from his deck, "Perfect, HASTE!" Luxord increased his speed 10 fold and ran into the fire implanted a card in the ground and dropped a second die.

"They don't call me the gambler of fate for nothing."
 
OOC: Just wanted to say, my character isn't the one flipping the coin, it's me flipping it, so from a specters view, Mystro is just changing skills at random.

Coin toss: Tails; no change

IC: "I'd like to be a gambler, but mines just random. God knows when it changes or what it will change to...you got it good, man."

Mystro still was pyrokinetic, so he made the flames around the now 2 dice fade down and die. "I'm still not striking them." He could see that his enemy was now faster, so as a defensive maneuver he surrounded himself in a dome of flame. He needed a new ability, so all he could do was wait for one to come.
 
"Big mistake, CARD! Release your power! Demyx come out luv I have brought you here to momentarily aid me.

"Anything for you luxy!" Demyx squealed, then ran over to the fire and yelled, "DANCE WATER DANCE!" It begins to rain and 25 water clones appear and put out the flames and then the start attacking their opponent.

"Bye bye luxy, see ya later!" Demyx warped away from the field.

OOC: The water clones and the rain stays even after Demyx leaves, also Luxord now has 3 more Organization XIII cards.
 
Coin toss: Heads; Heads; Changed ability aids Mystro; Ability changed to: demikinesis, an ability to manipulate small fields of gravity

IC: Just as some water clones began to attack Mystro, he gained the ability to manipulate fields of gravity. This was perfect. Water was no different from any other liquid as it had a certain vapor pressure. Creating smaller areas of gravity, the vapor pressure on the rain and water clones began to decrease with the air pressure, causing the boiling point of all water in the area to severely decrease, making these clones evaporate at what seemed to be a normal temperature. Anything else in the area seemed much lighter than before.

Mystro then made sure all vapor from the clones were gone and returned gravity to normal just so that he could leap toward his enemy, making a field of strong gravity in his hand as he would deliver a mid blow punch. It didn't matter if his punch connected or not, the gravity field would be released when he punched and would go through anything it it's direction, causing damage to anything it passes by. Mystro hoped an ability this useful would stick around.
 
"What Uhhh... c'mon luck don't fail me now..." Draws a card, "Damn, not what I wanted but it'll do, SLOW!"

Luxord decided to take a risk and he jumped into the gravity field. He placed a card on the inside and warped to safety.

"When your punch connects with my card you'll be in a world of hurt... aghhhhh."
Luxord grabbed his right shoulder and noticed it was heavier then his other. "The gravity field damn... this isn't good, I'll need to heal!"
 
Coin toss: Heads; Tails: Ability changes; ability does not aid Mystro; Ability gained: electricity manipulation

IC: Great...the ability to manipulate electricity in a place where there was no electricity...How oh so fun. No matter, he'd find a way. There was no stopping that he would come in contact with the card at this point, since the momentum of his punch slightly threw him.

"Well let's just see what you've got..."
 
As soon as the card activated the entire arena grew much heavier.

"What's up luxman, you rang?"

"Yes Xigbar I did, now show him what true gravity manipulation is!"

"Will do, alright boy i got a little game for ya!"

Xigbar warps himself and Mystro to a small boxed in area. Xigbar charges up his guns and fires a barrage of bullets at Mystro, then he jumps to all four sides and fires 15 bullets on each side, then he lands in the middle and says, "Now let's see how you dance!" As soon as he stopped he started, he put his hands in seperate gravity fields and fired 50 bullets at Mystro.

"Now thats manipulation" Xigbar laughed and warped them back to the arena, "Later Luxman"
 
Coin Toss: Tails; no change

IC: Bowing his head down for a change before the next attack came along, his hope was wasted. He was quickly warped into god knows where, where the being from the card came out and began firing at him. Unfortunately, because there was no change in Mystro's powers, he could do nothing but be a running target. The bullets that hit him grazed over his skin, causing deep gashes. The blood loss made him feel dizzy rather quickly. His motions became abstract since he couldn't think straight. He needed a skill to end this now, otherwise he'd have to either quit or die. Luck was not on his side right now.
 
"My friend you don't look so good... hmm, i'll tell you what, I'll let you live and all you have to do is fight the Keyblade master, Sora and kill him, take his keyblade and make us whole by collecting hearts for Kingdom heart. But if you decline..."

Luxord lifts a card and smashes the die... 0+1=1. A card appears on the ground and activates, Xemnas, The superior of orgy 13 appears.

"Luxord, luck is on your side today, as getting me," he snaps his fingers and 11 other portals appear showing the other organization members, "means you get all of us."

Luxord places 2 cards face-up one with a heart, and one with the Nobody symbol, "Choose your fate."


OOC: The Heart means you won't join, Nobody symbol means you swear allegiance
 
Coin toss: Heads: ability changes; Heads: ability changes in his favor; Ability gained: Pressure control.

IC: "Well, luck kicks in at my last spark of hope then, eh? Well this puts you in no condition to negotiate with me. I neither want to be your ally nor your enemy. Hell, I don't even know why I'm here." As he was speaking, Mystro was increasing the air pressure quickly, causing everything to become more dense, moisture in the air condensed onto most surfaces while this happened. "If you kill me now, the pressure of the area will instantly fall and all the oxygen you have inhaled will become less dense, causing it to change matter states in your lungs so your blood has air in it. here's the deal, I'll ease the pressure off in a manner you can survive if you let me choose my own path instead of doing something I'm told to do. If you don't tell me I can before my ability changes, the pressure will automatically return to normal, which will do as I said earlier to all of us, effectively killing everyone in the area of the increased pressure. What do ya say?"
 
"Well well a tricky one eh Xemnas but you forget hehehe we are nobodies! We have no heart! Which means we have no need for oxygen. You are the only person who will die here. Now as I said before choose quickly before you drop dead, Luck is a strange thing it can change on you in an instant! Think about it I will return soon. CARDS!" 26 cards appear and engulf the organization leaving mystro by himself. "Xigbar stay with him and make sure he doesn't run"
 
Coin toss: Tails; no change

"It's true you don't need oxygen...but what you do need is an assembled body. As time passed I've been compressing the air so much, when it's all released, if done too fast, will make everything filled with it burst open as if you yourself were an exploding air compressor. If I continue on this ability, neither of us will be able to move and both be crushed entirely. I'm smarter than you think I am."

Mystro simply waited. If he died, his brother would just come to save his day, though as agreed, not fight Mystro's enemy.
 
"Ha you underestimate the power of the Organization luv, Xaldin you know what to do."

Xaldin, no. 3 of Organization XIII enters the arena in a burst of wind and smirks at Mystro.

"Well aren't you a clever little sneak eh? Heheh no matter, WIND GUARD ME!" As the wind shield engulfs Xaldin the pressure starts dropping slowly due to the air manipulation.

"Xigbar go, this kid won't last much longer."

Xigbar opened his portal and left Xaldin and Mystro alone on the battlefield, "now what will you do?"
