In most generations, things happen that are so unique that they have a name for it. In other cases days go by where nothing happens and life seemingly goes on. This is where the story of Niko Savana starts. He is a simple man, no real longing for much besides a good life with enough cash to get him by in his life. He has no aspiration to do much of anything else, but none the less he fights the daily grind trying to get by in whatever way he can. He knew he had powers and while not using them for good or evil, he still used them wisely and cautiously. He didn't need much to get by, but none the less he could feel his powers growing day by day as time went on. Niko would be sitting on the top of a building in the middle of the slums and underpool of the city. It was nice here despite what everyone thought. It was real, it was quieter then most thought and most of all it was home. He would take a smoke out from a compartment in his suit as he took off his helmet that kept his identity secret. He didn't care very much for it at the moment though. He was in his own little safe haven and anyone who approached him was either a friend or someone at least interested in him enough to dare sneak up on him while he was relaxing. Either way Niko would just enjoy himself as he enjoyed his energy drink and the fresh air of the slums. Well if you can call the slums having "Fresh air" Edited by Spacemaker, Jul 3 2011, 01:06 AM.

Rose was moving fast now. hopping from rooftop to rooftop, her intense focus was unbreakable right now as she stopped at the corner of one of the buildings. peering over it to look down at the ally way. a group of 5 figures in thick black skin tight outfits covered their forms. a hood up and over them. for one who managed to see their faces they would notice there was a white fox mask with some oriental styled markings along it. white fox tails threaded through the outfit. Rose was following them intensely. her own skin covered in black scales all across her body to her face. red Celtic markings seeming to glow gently purple in the moonlight. she didn't seem to notice the man who was also on the same rooftop. her focus was too direct. too intense. she wouldn't even know he was there as she followed her minions movements as they came closer to the little bank. taking cover around the corner of a building as Rose took a few steps back. getting ready to leap over to the next building. a perfect position to lead them through the initial battle to get into the building. |

Niko would look at the strange women as she appeared before him, he ad little to say to her odd appearance. a Nagi... he thought to himself as he took another sip of his drink, his mind racing as he cleared his throat and spoke. His voice crackly for a moment before he corrected himself and got his voice back in order after the first sentence his face was clearly visible a little bit of stubble on his face as he had been up for the last few days trying to make ends meat stealing from the houses around him and turning up very little indeed. "Best way to get to them is jump two buildings down and cut them off at the far end. They will have little room to move and easy pickings once they realize it. Don't ask how I know, I'm just good around these roof tops." He would then wait to see what she would do next, he could only guess at what she did, but he really couldn't say, he didn't know her in the least bit even if her appearance did intrigue him quite a bit. She seemed sadistic and cruel and quite frankly that was fine with him. He would throw his half full can over the side of the building hitting one of the the people she was chasing in the head as he shook his head and sighed looking to see if the Nagi girl had left already.

Poison Rose would slowly turn to face him the moment his can hit one of her minions in the head. her eyes glowing gold with the reptilian slit as she blinked a few times. to one with sharp eyes he would notice that the other 5 would turn much the same way. their eyes resting upon the speck that was the man. she would seem to space out. staring at him for a moment. bow resting upon her back. Off in the distance her minions would seem to disappear. darting out of view. and. no matter what he did. after roughly 3 minutes of her staring they would re appear. hopping up around the building from each side surrounding the man from the sides of the rooftop. one of them landing next to Rose herself. standing silently. all of them staring at Niko behind those masks. |

Niko would continue to sit on the side of the building his eyes not leaving his view of the city as he reached and grabbed his mask placing it on his head as he lifted himself up unsheathing his sword and unbuckled his handgun. He would face the six of them sighing as he spoke. His voice now in a unamused tune to it. "Leave now... I don't need drama after a long day." If they decided to attack him he would have no choice but to fight them, he was going to show no mercy to any of them if they decided to attack. He may be an uncaring man, but fucking with him as he sat on the side of a building was not a good way to say hello. He was going to end this as quick as he could. He wasn't about to play around as he stood there twirling his sword in his hand waiting for something happen. |

Rose wouldn't change her facial expression but if Niko looked at her it would be apparent she was chuckling inside as the one he hit would poke at the spot she had been hit . pointing it out. the others would all point to said minion in unison. they would then waggle a finger at him and point in the direction of the bank. the roof and upper half of the words "Public Bank" in view from this position. they would all leap into the air. landing right behind Rose in a neatly laid formation as she finally let loose a smirk. seeming to mock him slightly as she turned away. following her minions down to the next building. if he followed her or not she would do the mission she had planned out. a bank heist. |

Niko would sigh and shake his head, he was so over those people, but none the less he would give them a nice piece of advice. His voice was amplified behind his mask, but even if he wasn't trying his voice would have reached them as he needlessly put his hands to his mouth and spoke as if to amplify his already loud voice. "You're going to get yourself killed you know Nagi! Good luck though, shame a body like that died." He would say as he took his mask back off, he was pissed now, she had belittled him. That was a no in his book and he couldn't care more or less now. he was far to put off to even try to stop her anymore. He would sigh as he grabbed another monster out of his back pack sipping it as the sunset was beginning to pan out over the horizon, he now was remembering how sad it was not having anyone to have his back was like. How cold loneliness was. How bitter sweet self reliance was when there was no one to go home to. |

Tapped Niko on the solder. crouching behind him rather animalistically as she grinned to herself. her minions nowhere to be seen but always watching. waiting for her signal. she would rest her arms on her knees as she knelt there watching him "Ya know... your a bit of a jerk... Throwing a can at my minion. its.. such a waste of a monster.." She would look over her shoulder at the bank. teeming with police officers.. she sighed heavily .. "So.. what would you suggest is a better way of making money. if robbing a bank is out. then perhaps we should rob a gang... or a few homes.." |

"Hm." Niko would smile as he chuckled with his face rather visible, he would sigh as he took another swig to clear his throat and spoke with a much more happy tune as it was. "I can help you get anything you need doll, you just have to ask nicely and give me a kiss." Niko would say letting it sit in for a few seconds before he continued on correcting himself in his own fashion grabbing another monster out of the back of his suit and tossing it into Rose's hands. "I'm just kidding about the kiss, hee... I can show you around if you wish either way." |

Rose caught the can mid air. quickly popping the tab as she downed it quickly. removing the tab she would put it in a little holster strapped around her right leg. a little storage place. tossing the can aside she would face him. feeling invigorated by her favorite drink "So. What did you actually have in mind.. Because I know this place like i know the back of my hand" She looked on it. noticing a chip in one of her scales from the heavy stone she had been hopping across "Hmn... that's new" she added. a little distracted by this as she looked it over |

"Hitting up the hellions are always fun, they have a bit of money even if they are pretty useless as far as fighting goes. Punk ass gang, couldn't fi d their own dick if it was glued to their forehead." Niko would get up from his spot and walk over to the snake girl, his mask off as he looked into her eye and spoke in a distinguished and qlertive manor. "I don't know why but I like you doll, you have spirit. Would you like to accompany me on hitting up one of their fronts for dough? I could only guess you are after money if you plan to hit up a bank as it is." Niko would wait for her to respond as he gave her a light smile. She didn't seem very interested in him in general, but I guess that was fine, not incredible enjoyable getting half ignored, But she seemed to be dealing with a light injury or what not.

Rose yawned. looking all around as Niko spoke. she was listening but it was hard to focus when she was just doing one thing, She had to keep her mind busy or it would almost seem like she was hyperactive. she would hop to her feet. putting an arm over his shoulder as best she could. "Look. just point it out and I can do it on my own. heh. My Minions are more than capable enough to take out some weak ass gangsters.." She gave him a half smirk. If anything could be said about her. it was that she was quite confident.And she had reason to be. She had numbers on her side. she turned away. facing the way that Niko was facing then over her shoulder at a few of her minions as they lay totally out of sight. even when she couldn't see them or wasn't controlling them . she could feel them. the presence of her minions. |

"I'm sorry, I thought I just offered you a job and a splitwhich would be easier with two... Seven people. If you don't want it then go away. It's my job first of all, and second it's my rooftop we are standing on. Third I'm doing this out of the little kindness I have seeing as I am more then capable then doing this on my own also. He would say as he quickly ran at blurring speed before long jumping over to the next roof top taking a seat and continuing to watch the sunset. He wasn't in the mood to argue about if she could do it without him or not. He wasn't rich and if that was something to make fun of him for then it only make him dislike her at being treated like a worm, a nobody. He would sigh as he looked through his pockets, nothing was there besides maybe a hundred bucks or so. He had made some trips to sell some of his stuff and steal what other money he had, but even then with the debt his father made and his mothers drinking had put him in hot water. But what was he to do but keep on keeping on. Edited by Spacemaker, Jul 3 2011, 06:11 PM.

Rose shook her head. she wasn't good with people like him.. She controlled the minds of the weak. She was a influential speaker. not a captain.. She sighed a bit as she sent her minions out to collect Niko. bringing him back over here in one swift movement. "Sorry. Didn't know confidence was frowned upon. common. lets get moving. we gotta job to do. yup. we need to get rich and kill while we do it. heh. gotta leave a message after all. otherwise they wont know it we us. we need to become Infamous after all. gather that Infamy. Then i can convince more to serve me. and start doing more with my secret lair" She paused for a moment. trying to gather her thoughts as her two minions stood idly next to Niko.. "What... Er... i mean.. You heard nothing about a secret Lair." She stared at him seeming to try and intimidate the fact she mentioned her lair from his mind. in spite the difficulty her height would compliment to that (hard to intimidate when your tiny xp) |

She would find collecting Niko was a difficult task, he moved faster then any of them put together and he would activate his transparentcy before popping up beside her and listening to her speak before answer in his own, "no thanks, I don't want to be known for any crimes. That doesn't suit me. I just want to do what I please get rich and have a good life. You can take credit for the whole thing, I don't really mind." And with that he would grab her and throw her in his arms before he jump to the next building his speed far outmatching her henchmen, but of course he slowed himself down enough for them to keep up with him. And with that they would both be gone if rose allowed any of this to happen of course. |

Rose was rather annoyed with the mans teleportation gripping the neck of his suit which would likely choke him a bit but was innocent enough to play off as trying to keep support. She would get him back for this. and it would begin now. her long. snakelike tail whipping into his thighs every once in a while like she was trying to keep it out of the way and his speed was getting in the way. |
