Message: <blockquote data-quote="Phoenix" data-source="post: 2655934" data-attributes="member: 16166">OOC:Dear Players of Metropolis,I am going to take this moment to point something out.  Below is a stat block for Jovik the Jackal from his old friend Wasp.  Now, usually there will be a note to say it's just for him, then we all go in to read it to find out what is going on behind the scenes.I will give you fair warning then before I mention that the below is for Jovik.  The following stat block is a Spoiler, a really, really, really, big spoiler.  Now, I'm not telling you not to read it, I am simply mentioning that if you would prefer not to know what is really going on, don't read it.  Really don't.And without further-a-do:Jovik the Jackal:[sblock]The children in the cells about Wasp suddenly go quiet, staring at Jovik with a sort of focused glare.  The only noise now wafts from the battle out in the main chamber.  Wasp steps up to the bars in his cell and looks out at Jovik.Some of the children nearby shriek, causing Jovik to look around reflexively.  The children go pale, their hair shrinks back into their head, their bones slide in their bodies, their skin shrinks back painfully across their forms.  The children seem to be getting forcibly younger, some of them turning into babies.A concussion wave eminates from the children, identical to the one that Jovik had seen coming from the yellow robed man that was hunting Wasp before.  The sounds from the battle seem to warp, as if they were slowing down, and finally stop completely."Jovik the Jackal, you are supposed to be dead."  The look on Wasp's face is far from young, behind his eyes lay an eternity, an immortality that had seen secrets that are hidden to mortal men."Jovik the Jackal was supposed to die that day in the warehouse.  I know of this because I have seen it before, I was there the first time it happened.  You need to know this Jovik, because few of us are left, we have mostly turned.""We are the last.  Metropolis is dying, she can feel it even now.  Before she died though, she found us, the last generation of children to be born in a sterile world.  She empowered us to live our lives backwards, to experiance everything again, but this time in reverse.  We were supposed to come back to our childhood, choose a point in our lives when we believed that we could stop what was happening."Unfortunately as we grew younger, we became younger as well.  It was harder and harder for us to choose, to make decisions, to actually do anything to alter the city.  So we searched for people to help us, the Men in Yellow.  Their leader we approached in the 'future', he discovered that he could harness our powers and travel backwards with us, moving back and forth through the time-stream even."We cannot stop him, though it may not really matter since the city is dying.  To make things worse, when we reach a certain age we begin to forget, our bodies and minds are turned around in the timestream and we revert to our younger days once more, forgetting everything of what happened."Jovik the Jackal, you being alive today proves that our influence can change things, major things.  If you are alive than you have cheated Zsath in his domain, it proves that people like you have the capability to help us.  We have little time left, but few of us remember what is to come..."[/sblock]</blockquote>
