Echoes of the Multiverse

Want to wish everyone a Happy and safe Thanksgiving best wishes to you all.

Hope everyone's turkey is well cooked, that the stuffing (if you care for such things) is made the way you like, that your adult beverage of choice (if you care for such things) is cold, and that your favored sports team (if you care for such things) wins.

In short, Happy Thanksgiving to everyone.

Happy Thanksgiving all. In my opinion, the greatest of all holidays with the three F's of Family, Food and Football. I hope you all enjoy in your own way, even if that might be about a month in the past ;}

Allow me to join in and add my wishes for everyone to have a Happy (and Safe) Thanksgiving!

Complications
Motivation: Thrills: Ryan is in the hero biz because it gives him more thrills and excitement than his old life of crime.
Quirk: Ryan’s control over his powers is iffy and sometimes they choose different targets. Also, sometimes he gets lost in shadow world when he is shadow walking and may spend much longer getting where he is trying to go.
Secret: While not a convicted criminal, Ryan is favored by police for several thefts.
Weakness: Ryan takes additional damage from light based attacks

Background
Ryan was a better than average thief working in Emerald City on the day of the Silver Storm. He was casing an art gallery only to learn a small gang had cased it a few days earlier and were robbing the place at that moment. The Silver Storm erupted, leaving Ryan with shadow based powers. In his frustration over the other thieves robbing his target, his new shadow powers lashed out and took them all out. The visitors and staff of the gallery cheered him on.

Deciding this new abilities could be useful in his life of crime, Ryan decided to visit the gallery vault after hours, but found no thrill in it, especially not compared to the one he got from the cheers from stopping the other thieves. He left the vault's contents alone and tried to figure out what he should do next.

Unknown to him, Maximillian Mars had several items from his personal collection in the vault, with it's own independent security. He used the footage of Ryan's break in to find the young man and offer him an opportunity to leave the dead end path he was on and join his new team.

Sorry for the ridiculous delay.

That's a great picture

I lost my dad yesterday morning. He'd been fighting cancer for a couple of years and a had rapid decline over the last couple of months. We had just got him checked into hospice on Tuesday and 36 hours later, that was it.

It's been a tough couple of days but I've got lots of family and friends around to help. I'm OK but don't count on me to be responsive for another few days.

You have my deepest condolences. Please, take all the time you need.

Sorry for your loss.

First off I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your father, secondly take as long as you need.

So sorry Shock. If you need a friend let me know be glad to listen anytime.

I'm very sorry for your loss, Shock. You have my deepest sympathies.

Thanks for your thoughts guys. It means a lot to me. The burial is tomorrow and I hope to be back in posting shape not too long after.

I thought the air elementals were the first ones down. Why are we looking for them?
