endbringer, meet gun

[peterxy]

...Very unseasonable rains can be seen in the distance from the shores of Acapulco.

The Brockton Bay Protectorate starts organizing volunteers to be transported or teletransported in batches to it. Heroes, rogues, villains, anyone's assistance is appreciated. A rendez-vous point is set for non-Protectorate capes wishing to volunteer, and Protectorate capes are informed of the situation via communication devices.

"Ooh yes, that makes sense. Guess the next time I fight an Endbringer I can make my turret gun all white and shiny and stuff."

[thinkering]

"If you don't want to be locked in to turret guns you could also maybe just fly around, glowing and blowing theatrical quantities of dust and debris away from yourself?"

[mxglam]

"Heh. I really should work on my image. I wonder if a cape would help." Poof, now there's a cape.

[thinkering]

"You expect that to tear away in a pinch, right?"

[mxglam]

"Naturally. Maybe it could billow even when I'm not actually flying."

[thinkering]

"An important attribute in a cape."

[mxglam]

"Of course. Mysterious light shining from nowhere in particular. Maybe there could be a watermarked G on my chest." And to demonstrate, one such G appears. The suit is still white, but movements of the light catch a slightly differently textured part shaped like the letter. "Is the reason for my cape name obvious yet?"

[thinkering]

"Not all that obvious."

[mxglam]

"Glamour, like fae magic."

[thinkering]

"Cute. Mine's Latin."

[mxglam]

"What's it mean?"

[thinkering]

"Armor."

[mxglam]

"Fitting! Did you only pick the name after the armor was done?"

[thinkering]

"No. You ever hear, like, a bulletproof vest, referred to as 'body armor'?"

[mxglam]

"Oh! The mind thing."

[thinkering]

"Yeah. I think 'body armor' is actually to distinguish from, like, tank armor, but the obvious question to me was 'is there such a thing as mind armor'. But it passes as a reference to the suit. My passive power's not public per se."

[mxglam]

"Yeah, it's not in your wiki page."

[thinkering]

"Deliberately. The other Wards and the Protectorate know and there's protocols for listening to me if I seem to be acting bizarrely for some reason, that kind of thing, but I don't want anyone to have a chance to figure out how to work around it if they have nefarious intentions."

[mxglam]

"You're immune to the Simurgh, the only people in the world I could believe would be able to work around it would be Eidolon or Scion."

[thinkering]

"By 'work around it' I mean more 'get a teammate to do something non-mental to me' or 'find me out of costume via my immunity and shoot me in the head'."

[mxglam]

"Oh. Yes, we would like to avoid that."

[thinkering]

"Yeah, I can't really bring an army of defensive robots to school with me."

[mxglam]

"...pro: High School in Arcadia High."

[thinkering]

"It's still, you know, public school."

[mxglam]

"Yeah but I bet you have all sorts of concessions and stuff. And I mean, if you wanted to explain it to someone else saying it's 'public school' would be misleading enough it'd border on being a lie."
