Theo Anders and the Black Exaltation[Worm/Exalted][Hiatus]

Reader mode
TDP's initiation will probably be some random non-white person. Like... Hookwolf's crew manages to kidnap someone and throws them into the Arena to fight TDP to the death for their freedom. Or on a Empire 'patrol' someone is found and TDP is there. Unless some seriously crazy shit happens.

Unlikely to be a parahuman. Possible, but unlikely.

Then i guess Theo needs to think outside the box and fast too.
 
TDP is an Abyssal who has accepted the Doom of All Things. Unless the time comes and people vote for something to avoid killing someone, TDP is going to kill someone.

Heart-Stopping Mien by itself is going to kill mooks in droves.

Receiving the Black Exaltation greatly changes a person. They have touched Death and come back from the brink. Theo might not have been a killer, but TDP is, by nature, the killyest thing to exist.

Theo is not a natural born killer, i think TDP would try to get out of it by saying "this is not a initiation worthy of me" just to buy time.

Theo got turned into an Abyssal.

Murder is now magically conjoined to his soul.

Yeah, it's going to suck for him because he previously was not really the bloodthirsty sort, but he's going to have to get used to it.

But there is a high chance that Hookwolf is going to pick a civilian to try to humiliate him and his Father in front of the Empire. Theo needs to bring the head of a expandable criminal to pass his initiation or he brings in cash or business. TDP cannot go empty handed, he either has blood on his hands or money in his pocket.
 
Here the list of trials of a gang initiation.
  • "Blessed in": Those who are blessed-in to a gang have older brothers, fathers, mothers, or other relatives who were already in the gang. rare
  • Initiation by cop : Kill a police officer. Rarely used today.
  • Being jumped in or beat in: Having to fight a certain number of gang members for a given period of time and being able to take the beating and fight back.
  • Sexed in: Used to initiate females into male-dominated gangs wherein the initiate provides sexual services for one or more of the established gang members.
  • Jacked in: Committing a grand theft/larceny.
  • The Line, Lined In, or The Gauntlet: "In this scenario, the individual being initiated either stands in the middle of a circle and must fight his or her way out, or must run between two lines of gang members." The initiate is expected to stay on his or her feet from one end of the line to the other.
  • Drive-By-Shooting: Commit a drive-by-shooting as assigned by the gang.
  • Russian roulette:Play Russian roulette and win. Russian roulette involves loading a pistol's cylinder with 1 bullet, spinning the cylinder, closing it, then pointing the gun to one's head and pulling the trigger. If the player wins, they're in the gang. If they lose, well... :D
  • Blood In, Blood Out:Blood In: commit a gang assigned murder to join the gang. Blood Out: commit a murder in order to leave the gang.
  • Catching a Flag: Fighting through a group of gang members in order to grab a flag which has been placed on the other side of them.
  • Circled In: Fighting through to the center of a circle of the all gang members.
  • Courted In: Being invited in, as are some doctors (for their medical skills which may be performed without reporting to the authorities), lawyers (for their legal advice, plea bargaining ability, and courtroom expertise), and electricians (many skills may be needed for gang enterprises).
  • Deeded In: Having sex with a female or male who has a sexually transmitted disease and not getting the disease.
  • Freein' Hoover: Picking up six pennies which have been thrown on the ground while being physically assaulted by several gang members. When all six pennies have been gathered, the beating stops.
  • Punched In: Being hit once, and very aggressively, on the sternum - right over the heart. Field Note: "Some gang members have been killed this way."
  • Broken in: You don't actually have to do anything here - just watch them disembowel, hack to death and generally mutilate a victim. More of a spectator job.

Being jumped in or beat in: Having to fight a certain number of gang members for a given period of time and being able to take the beating and fight back.

All of these are possible.

Going to close the vote tonight. Then we should be leaving the party(probably at this point unless sudden flood of voting), saying goodbye to Sabah, and heading home.

I wonder if we should get a late-night coffee with Sabah or something, to compare notes and get our stories straight ("after-action report").

Make sure we're not surprised by anything she did when Dad asks us about whatever happened.

Don't spoil this for me, He bleeds a little, gets chest pains, feels tired, upset stomach and bloating with Appetite changes and a craving for chocolate, a powerful addiction for crappy romantic comedies.
 
A lot of people leave the parties earlier mostly to avoid drunk people, or the angry people.

Also Theo stamina is very low.

Edit:
How do you think Sabah is going to return to her home, walking, she ask a ride, or she receives a personal flying transportation?

Also I think Theo should leave mostly to avoid angry teens.

How do you wager?
 
[X] Note to self: Bakuda and Squealer make good initiation fodder.
-[X] Keep the toothpick sword. If we need to gank some mortal that's the weapon of choice for someone who breathes death like others breathe oxygen. If someone wants you to prove yourself through a murder, laugh into their face before committing the deed with one quick stroke of your toothpick and a bored "Fine."
 
Vote closed! You will be leaving the party, Stealth Lesbian Infiltration Bomber in tow. As any Prince would you will offer to escort her home. (Which had been my plan all along) So, you'll have a chance to compare notes with the girl you spent 90% of the night with. And then some stuff, and then home, for more stuff. Expect a snip tomorrow.

Here is what I honestly think is going on with Dean....

Dean had stared in to the bathroom mirror for several minutes, "just wait, Theo Anders I will serve your heart on a silver platter for breaking mine." He gently placed both his palms against the cool glass and then a bright blinding light flashed against the mirror shattering it into the wall and sink...

".....................................

A angry empath is a scary and crazy opponent for Theo to fight, because they can feel their victim's pain and emotions in a fight.

Can Gallant identify people by emotions?
 
Remember this, though.

You adopt a wide smile and guide Sabah over to one of Brockton Bay's most noticeable heroes and her family, plus Dean. There was some confusion on her face, she wanted to know who you were, and you were happy to keep it that way. The younger generation of New Wave didn't need to know who the prince in front of them is.

The smile seems to work on Glory Girl and even the usually more stoic Amy Dallon. It's also enough to endear you to Eric Pelham who greets you with an easy smile of his own and an enthusiastic handshake.

"Eric Pelham, also known as Shielder, can't say I've seen you around before."

"Dean Stansfield," the pompous windbag says with a obviously forced smile. He wants to find out who you are and why you didn't cause e̡̘̫̯͍̘̲m̢͕̻͚̼͉o̯̥͍̰̻̕ͅt͍̟̰̼̰̀͢ḭ̧̦͍̟̯̩o̭̳͜͜n̢͓̖̘͔͚̥̮̟̭-̥͇̠̰͈͖b̶͠҉̲̩͚̳̫̜͙̣a̡̬̱͍̺̠̗̺̱͞͞s͔̹̞̘e͎̤̺̤͜͝d̸̴̼̯͕͉̱͝ͅ ͎̣̜̣͙ş͍͓̼̩̮͖̯͚͓y̵̝̩ͅń̺̙̩̱͚̗͎͠e̶҉̩͕̹̗͢s̷̸̢̬͈̠͉͔̯͈̘̯ţ̢̙͈̰̦̮h̸̳̪̮̜̦e̺̙̰̰͟͡s͕͠í̛͏̳̗̣̦͎͚a̮̺͇̕, "Pleasure to meet you."

You should probably find out what caused your power to trip like that.

When Amy Dallon offers her hand you take it at the wrist making sure to use the cloth of the longs sleeves of her dress to keep your flesh from touching and bow over it.

"Uh, A-amy Dallon! 'm Panacea!" she squeaks out, a blush rapidly darkening her cheeks.

I actually can't tell if that's a good thing or not, my headcanon is that Dean is a screwed in the head sadist that enjoy's other people's pain.

His on and off break up with Vicky, pretending not to notice Missy's feeling,acting oblivious to Amy's crush on Victoria was his way of feeding on their anguish.

If Dean was honestly a great guy then he would not have became a ward because he can feel the victims of crime and the criminals he fight's emotions.

What? Just... what?

Regarding the first point, he's a person. He has emotions of his own. Thus, the on-and-off relationship.

Regarding the second point, he can sense emotions, not what the emotions are directed towards. He's not a mind-reader.

Regarding the third point, that's basically saying that anybody with some sort of Thinker power relating to other people and who engages in combat is a sadist. It's absurd.

Honestly, it sounds like you decided that he was a bad person, and then interpreted everything he did in order to support that.
