The Twin Summoners - Mack and Sam

Sun Sep 30, 2007, 12:08 AM
Names: Mackenzie "Mack" Shennigan and Samuel "Sam" Shennigan
Age: Both are 25 years old.
Height: Both are about 5'8''.
Gender: Both brothers are male.
Species: Both brothers are human.
Home: Unknown. (Mack doesn't like to talk about it.)
Ability Style: Musicians/Dancers/Summoners
Weapon: They each have a Beretta M1951 pistol hidden in their jackets for emergencies, but they usually prefer to fight bare-handed. Mack has a pair of brass knuckles.
Ability: (melee fighting stance for both: [link] )
Skills (non-magical)

Coordinated Combo (Mack and Sam)
The twins execute a coordinated sequence of attacks.

Steel-toed Kick (Mack)
Uses his steel-reinforced shoes to kick the target.

Tap Dance (Mack)
Distracts the enemy with a skillful tap dance routine.

Hat Toss (Sam)
Tosses his steel-reinforced hat like a frisbee at the target.

What a Joke! (Sam)
Either tells a really bad joke or pulls out one of his various joke items, including but not limited to: his prized slinky, a can of worms, a fake gun with a "BANG!", super bouncy ball, and rubix cube (he could probably solve it given a week's time).

The Shennigan brothers are proficient in summoning, an art which has been passed down in their family for generations...or so the rumors say. By singing and dancing, they can call various beings to their aid. There are two levels of summons, Greater Summons and Lesser Summons. The Greater Summons consist exclusively of the Elemental Spirits, each having an Attack and Defense effect. The Lesser Summons, which include anything else, are miscellaneous in nature and are weaker than the Greater Summons. The summon incantations consist of sung lyrics from songs, which can vary from a single line to an entire verse depending on the type of summon.

Greater Summons

Earth (Mack) [link]
(She Caught the Katy - Blues Brothers)
Attack: Creates a shower of coins (made from fool's gold) that damage the target.
Incantation: Well I love my baby, she's so fine--
I wish she'd come and see me some time!
She don't believe in our love--ah, look what a hole I'm in!
She don't believe what I'm saying, kid, look what shape I'm in!

Defense: Throws a large coin in the ground to create an earthen wall that blocks attacks.
Incantation: Well, my baby caught the Katy,
Left me a mule to ride,
The train pulled out, I swung on behind.
Crazy 'bout her, that hard-headed woman of mine!

Extra Details: Works undercover as an Accountant. Kind and practical, though sometimes loses her cool when dealing with childish adults. She manages the band's finances and has been known to scold Mack for his money problems (though it's no fault of his own--he just has rotten luck). She plays the Drums.

Fire (Mack) [link]
(Gimme Some Lovin' - Blues Brothers)
Attack: Launches a variety of fireworks at the target.
Incantation: Well my temperature's risin', have my feet on the floor,
Twenty people rockin' and they wanna go more.
Let me in, baby, I don't know what you got,
But you better take it easy -- this place is hot!

Defense: Creates a "firewall" using spinners and sparklers.
Incantation: Well I feel so good, everything is selling high,
But you better take it easy 'cause the place is on fire.
Been a hard day and I don't know what to do--
Wait a minute, baby, ain't it happened to you?

Extra Details: Works undercover as a Pyrotechnician. Firmly believes in style with tasteful flair. He plays the Saxophone.

Water (Sam) [link]
(Hey Bartender - Blues Brothers)
Attack: Pours a flood.
Incantation: I said, hey, bartender!
Hey man, lookie here!
Draw one, draw two, draw three, four glasses of beer!

Defense: Mixes one of a variety of different drinks, each having a different effect.
The drink list includes, but isn't limited to:
Shirley T. -> Gives "Sugar Rush" status.
Katamari...on the Rocks -> Summons the Prince, who rolls over the target with his Katamari.
Coffee/Tea -> Decreases fatigue.
Incantation: Well, we was having so much fun,
I didn't know it was half past one.
Turned around to have one more,
I looked at the clock, and it was half-past four!
Hey, Bartender!

Extra Details: Works undercover as a Bartender. Hates dealing with unreasonable drunks. She plays the Keyboard.

Lightning (Sam) [link]
(Messin' With the Kid - Blues Brothers)
Attack: Throws a lightning rod into the ground, marking the spot where a lightning bolt will strike the surrounding area.
Incantation: Now the kid plays hot, and hot don't pay--
I say what I mean, I mean what I say!
Hey, yeah!
Tell me what you did!
You can call it what you want,
But I call it messin' with the kid!

Defense: Create a nearly impregnable force field using electricity.
Incantation: Gonna take the kid's car, drive around town,
Tell everybody 'tried to put him down,
Hey, yeah!
Tell me what you did!
You can call it what you want,
But I call it messin' with the kid!

Extra Details: Works undercover as a Meteorologist. Cheerful and outgoing, the perfect friend for Sam. He plays the Electric Guitar.

Lesser Summons

Can't Turn You Loose (Mack)
Summons their getaway car (a black Jetta)
Extra Details: Mack calls the car "Dash." License plate: BDR529.

The Finger (Sam)
Summons a kid who runs behind and gives the target a "kancho."

Weaknesses: Mack can't stand it when things have fallen into chaos, so he is especially weak to confusion spells. Also, his OCD often gets the better of him, causing him to go nuts over a row of books that haven't been correctly put in alphabetical order or anything that isn't perfectly straight. He absolutely HATES the song "Mack the Knife." His pride can get him into trouble at times. Not only that, but he seems to be plagued by an unending streak of bad luck, especially when it comes to money.
Sam has a weakness for silly jokes, even the really stupid ones. Once he hears one, he might end up laughing for minutes, even hours on end. He also has a tendency to fall for what Mack dubs the "femme fatale" type. Sometimes he'll space out and lose track of things. Also tends to be extremely gullible at times.
As long as the two work together as a team, the dynamic duo is nearly unstoppable. On his own, Mack specializes in physical power and accuracy, but is somewhat slow. The opposite is true of Sam, who specializes in magical power and speed, but lacks power and accuracy in his punches.
Mack can't handle his alcohol, but Sam can.
Description:
(Non-spoiler)
Mack and Sam are identical twin brothers. They are dressed completely in black-- a black suit, black fedora, black sunglasses, grey or white shirt... you get the idea. The only way you can tell the difference between them is by looking at their hair, which is surprisingly brown. Their overall appearance is a bit menacing, but they're not truly evil....are they?
(Spoiler)
Mack--> With an almost permanent scowl plastered on his face, Mack is the hard-headed firebrand of the Shennigan family. He is the elder twin, though only by a few seconds, and constantly uses this as an excuse for being in charge of their decisions. Ever since he was young he loved books and even now he's still somewhat of a bookworm. The majority of his collection is made up of hard-boiled detective novels, which Sam finds to be dry as the toast Mack eats. The Maltese Falcon is his favorite, Spade being a role model of sorts for him. It's because of this that he secretly wants to be a detective and why he's deathly afraid of the femme fatale type. Sometimes he'll talk tough just for the image, but he certainly has the physical power to back up his words. His ego is as big as a whale, which is probably why he's so concerned about keeping up his image. Whatever you do, don't make fun of his name. He also has a short fuse and, if provoked, has a tendency to kick things. Sometimes he will go to lengths to get his way, especially when concerning the organization of things. If there's a stack of books, he'll put them in alphabetical order by author. If there's a crooked painting on the wall, he'll straighten it. Don't even get him started about his makeshift bookshelf. He is also especially weak to confusion spells. What he likes to think of as his cold, calculating mind can also put him in extreme danger. "There's a logical explanation for everything -- fortunetelling and curses are just a hoax," is what he believes. Despite this, he still believes in magic; he's a summoner, after all. Summoning has been a specialty of the Shennigan family for generations, not to mention song and dance. Mack can summon the spirits of Fire and Earth at will. He can also tap dance, but seems to have grown ashamed of the skill over the years (probably because Sam keeps calling him "twinkle-toes"). He plays Trumpet in the band.
Sam--> Sam is almost the polar opposite of his twin brother. Being the cheerful one, he almost always has a smile on his face. He loves a good joke and doubles over in laughter when a particularly good one comes his way. In fact, he likes jokes to a fault where he'll be throughly entertained at even the worst ones. Much to his brother's dismay, he also has a tendency to make really bad puns when the situation calls for it. He was always the favorite of the pair and knows that Mack is jealous of the fact. His motto is to take it easy and not sweat the small stuff. After all, he can just leave it all up to his hard-headed brother. He is also easily distracted. Although he seems irresponsible, he somehow manages to keep his brother in check when things get out of hand. Perhaps he really is sensible underneath that clownish exterior? Or is he just smarter than he acts? He has a number of secret pockets in his coat that hold various joke items, travel-size board games, and his prized slinky, which he pulls out at just the right moment. He also seems to be an avid gamer and carries his DS and PSP around with him wherever he goes. Ability wise, he can summon the spirits of Water and Lightning. He was supposed to be able to summon Wind, but the spirit never showed up. He secretly hopes that he'll meet up with the guy just so Mack will stop complaining about not having the basic four elements. He plays Trombone and Harmonica in the band.
Storyline: Their profiles are top secret, classified information. According to what little is known about them, they are working for some company called the CCC (Concealed Corporate Conglomerates?). Their current mission is to track down and capture a certain powerful alchemist.

I just love fighting polar opposites to my character, who is probably the most likely person to make bad jokes and mock Mack's name. Which I kinda did in that sentence unintentionally..^^; Oh, I'mma gonna lose~
