Roleplay:The Shadow Dancer

This RolePlay is FreeJoin

Overview
Reports have been given to pretty much everyone about an account of murders (or possibly self-defensive killings), possible warcrimes, and overall, the outright cruelty of someone who seems to be known as The Black Dragon of Orihara. Though these are just reports and accusations, the reports also give that it's someone who knows pyromancy, and darkness. As well as seemingly one to have the will to destroy most of what stands in his or her way. Whether or not that this person is an actual Dragon or it's just a title, is unknown. What people make of these reports is a decision they make for themselves.

Part 1
[Various news reports, fliers, posters, and newspapers talk about who is known as the Shadow Dancer, amidst other aliases, the reports seem to be half of what people claim is true, and what the other half claim is uncertain or unknown, given how some sources are. The reports of the Shadow Dancer remain androgynous, as well as a description is given.


 * The figure is androgynous.
 * They stand at a height of 6'1"
 * They aren't Overlander, and are twice the size of a Mobian.
 * They have white hair and a purple eye, the hair is dyed half way
 * They're most notable for their coat and hat, which share a white ribbon trim design.
 * They do have a firearm, but a concealed carry permit and a military ID. Although the military ID belongs to an organization outside of Mobius.
 * It's recommended to avoid this figure.

That's where the reports end, that aside to, on what sources vary.


 * Fourteen counts of murder (for those who claim it's true.), fourteen killings, but it's unknown if it was in self-defense or murder (for those uncertain)
 * Responsible for the destruction of the Sunset Kingdom, mainly for being one fond of bloodshed (For those who claim it's true), or due to wartime engagement (for those uncertain, though they claim this is in their reports).
 * Responsible for the deaths of a few heroes (for those who claim it's true), or responsible for putting down heroes that may or may not have acted rogue (For those uncertain).

That's the last of it...]

A young merchant was heading into the town upon the back of a horse. The man was a traveling merchant named Rashid who was entering the town in the hopes of making a profit from the local townsfolk by selling his exotic wares. His species was that akin to a Mobian desert rat and he could clearly be seen sporting a dark middle eastern like complexion in his fur as he moved into the town with his horse strapped up with his various items to be sold at market.

[The newspapers and fliers seem to post warnings about this man or woman.]

The rat sees the fliers, but chooses to ignore them since it's none of his own business. Instead the young rat continues into the city too look around for a place to set up shop.

[Safe for the town square, everywhere else doesn't look like a good place to set up..]

"Hmm, perhaps over there will be nice." The young rat says as he moves into the town square.

[The authorities ask if he has a permit to set up shop.]

[Rashid then hands them his papers]

[They clear it up and allow him to set it up.] "Be careful if you see the man. You're advised to evacuate as fast as possible if encountered."

"Very well, it's bad for buisness to deal with criminals." Rashid says as he nods his head.

A young female knight also headed into town, although she had no horse to ride. She was a knight of a forgotten kingdom, looking for work in the darkest of places. All she owned was the armor on her back, her sword, and a leather purse with some money in it. Her species was of a Mobian hedgehog and her complexion was pale, yet beautiful to the trained eye. She sighed, walking towards the square and noticing the fliers, cringing because she couldn't read them that well.

"A good day to you sir." Rashid says as he nods and heads towards the town square to set up his goods.

Miles:*Comes out of nowhere and faceplants*

[In the distance. The news mentioned Shadow Dancer is probably seen..]

Eric was looking at the fliers he was given about the report. He was getting slightly annoyed, this "Shadow Dancer" person being the main topic of conversation.

Reens stretched and sighed, her stomach growling because she hadn't eaten yet. Not being able to read was hard, mostly because she was afraid of being taken advantage of by people who would want to cheat her. She made her way towards Rashid's shop (or whatever it is) trying to look for an inn to get some food.

Miles: *Runs over to Reens* What the heck is the "Shadow Dancer", some kind of band?

Slightly annoyed because she herself couldn't read the flyers, Reens growled under her breath. "Why are you asking me? I have no idea. Read some flyers or take a listen to the news, okay? Don't just bother random people who wouldn't care either way. Now if you'll excuse me, I gotta go find somewhere to eat." She left him and walked the other way, trying to find an inn.

[There are fliers, posters, and papers all over the place about him. Police get back and point their pistols and shotuguns as he just simply walks past them, the civilians started to hide or get out of the way for the most part. The police decided to wait and see how the situation goes in order to find if the reports were accurate or not.]]

Miles:*reads a poster* HOLY COW IT'S A FLIPPIN' MURDEROUS DRAGON!!!

Reens finally found an inn and went inside, only to find people hiding. "Uh, what's going on?" "Haven't you heard? He's here!" a frightened onlooker whispered. "Oh, the Black Dragon? Whatever, can I get something to eat, please?" "You want him to know we're here?! Begone, stranger!" The owner lifted Reens by her shirt collar and dropped her outside. "Okay, okay, I'm going! Sheesh, try to find a decent meal..."

Outside, people were hiding too. Eric was confused as to why. "What the hell is going on here?" "The better question is, why aren't you hiding?" "Well, why ARE you hiding?" "You don't know!?" "Know about what?" Suddenly, someone grabbed Eric and hid him.

Meanwhile, near the inn, an echidna was trying to make herself scarce. Having heard the reports, she knew how dangerous the situation was.

Miles:*following the dragon using chaos control very quietly* (whispering) So that's the so called "Black Dragon". *teleports away and into some cover*

[Teleportation is nullified for an unknown reason. The 'Dragon', appearing to actually just be a humanish person, would turn around towards Miles, as if having noticed his teleportation attempt.] "Hello and why are you following me?" [He asked, raising an inquisitive brow at Miles and anyone who had followed him.] "Sorta shifty for a person to be doing that... Then again, unless that's if you're trying to kill me.  Then I just suppose most of the people in this planet are crazy."

A young fox girl ran past the Black Dragon. She didn't really seem scared or to notice who he was. All she was concerned about was that she was playing a game of tag... and winning at the moment.

A red jungle kitten chased after her, bumping into the Black Dragon as he wasn't exactly watching where he was going. "Owww...." He moaned as he held his head. "Sorry Mister! Owww..."

Miles: Um... anyways i was investigating the rumors and it seems like you weren't trying to kill anyone as far as i know. *notices a yellow hoop on a roof and grabs it and it seemingly disappears*

Miles: *Sees other rings in the distance and grabs them too*

"...Hm..." [The Black Dragon proceeded on his way, seemingly ignoring the armed men pointing their weapons.]

Miles: *uses Ring flying at a slow speed to follow the dragon from an angle*

Meanwhile, Reens had finally found some food, although it was in a slightly dirty takeout box. It was still warm, so she ate it as slowly as she could, As she ate, she noticed Miles and the Black Dragon (although she didn't know it was him) walking together. "Hmph. Black Dragon this, Black Dragon that. If I met the guy face-to-face, that'd be something. My sword's too dented to make any use, though, and my armor's almost shredded. Next thing to do if find a blacksmith."

Meanwhile, the echidna, known as Lunari, peeked out from around the corner she was hiding behind. She noticed Reens. "Is that Black Dragon person gone yet?" She asked, quietly.

[The Black Dragon continued his seemingly carefree walk.]
