NPF Avatars Discussion: Beware the random monsters!

[Rhiya Ravenwing]

Righto, I might get the NPFers to split up soon. I don't know where SK and MT are, though, however i THINK they're near us again.

There will come a time where Rhiya's memory will fail her, and there will be like... 3 splits in the cave. Splitting up in due time!

[Truce]

Okay, Mestizio, I know you say you're super fast (using teleporting, I think you mentioned), but could you...at least try not to keep changing locations so much. It makes it easier to keep track of you this way. Also, could you make your posts a little bit longer? Like someone else said, you don't have to reply to everything immediately, and can spend more time thinking out what amazing thing you're going to write in the post you do make.

CT, I didn't mean "back" as in "they left and returned". I meant it in a way as "they were in a place that the others had been before but left to go through a magical portal thing to a desert island that had this cave that leads straight to where we'll find William the Overlord and Poseidon, and we need to find more butter for the popcorn."

Finally, PyrosNine, would Asheth count as a cat since she's an alternate persona?

Sorry about that. Once the groups split up I shold settle down very easily. As of now I'm staying in the dragon area.

[OmniShadow]

Rhiya: Should I take the fact that you never said if mine was approved or not that I was rejected? Im used to the stuff where you get to know if the character is approved or not, and what needs to be changed for it to get approved. Sorry if this is an unecessary post :sweatdrop

[Rhiya Ravenwing]

Sorry, umm... please direct me to where your profile is? My mind is going spazzo... :sweatdrop:

[Rhiya Ravenwing]

yeah, sure, you have the go-ahead to come in. Just don't be insane like the other people and post like CRAZIES!

[OmniShadow]

Thank you, and sorry about that thing I said earlier. I tend to be a bit upset when I belive myself to be ignored (Lets just say it has happened a lot...) And do not worry, I dont have that much time to post myself so I will probably end up having the same problem as you ^^;;

[Bailey]

yeah, sure, you have the go-ahead to come in. Just don't be insane like the other people and post like CRAZIES!
hey! I resemble that remark!

[mammothtank]

I don't know where SK and MT are, though, however i THINK they're near us again.She and I are near the beacon Newb placed to try to ward off the bats. Let me figure out exactly where that is and I'll meet up with you guys if I can.

[Bailey]

the beacon that got hit with all the stalagtites and Rhiya said "run"?

[mammothtank]

Um... can we just say we're a little ways away from it then? Kinda too many posts past it to change anything.

[Melfice]

Medic, somebody? Help?

Poor old Melfice is still kind of knocked out by the lightning/bolting attack of Twiddy...

Also, I'm guessing by Newbs post, that the cave I'm now in has collapsed? This is gonna take some good writing to get out off...*sigh*

[Bailey]

um, I grabbed you and dragged you along while we were all running and escaping.

yeah... that's the ticket.

[Melfice]

Well, whatever does the trick. I'm back, once more it seems!

EDIT: Also, did Omni just say his attack was magical? If so, the spiders wouldn't be dead, right?

[Rhiya Ravenwing]

Omnishadow....Sigh... is your attack elemental or magical by chance? because you really need to check on the Scavenger profile. They are immune to any magic-based attacks as well as elemental attacks.

[Bailey]

Mestisio, your posts hurt my brain.

consistency is your friend.

[Mesden]

Mestisio, your posts hurt my brain.

consistency is your friend.
Yes. Like I said I am sorry. I am situating myself at the dragons.

[Bailey]

not that.

it was the

*actions*

"words"


that got me.

I'm used to either

*actions*
*actions*

or

[Mesden]

not that.

No problem. I will change to the last one.

[Bailey]

as I said, consistency is the thing.

I could handle

*actions*
*actions*
"words"

it's just the switching between styles for the actions that gets to me.

I thank you for changing it.

[PyrosNine]

Finally, PyrosNine, would Asheth count as a cat since she's an alternate persona?

Well, she's an alternate form, but the kitty instincts die hard. Things that would affect a cat, like Cat-nip wouldn't affect her, but small rodents and cat food still attract. She's basically a kitty stil in the head.

[Rhiya Ravenwing]

Omni, I am giving you a warning not to attack the Scavengers like that again. Your shadow 'MAGIC' is as ineffective as trying to spit on them. As of now, Krylo's (all hail the Mod. I am NOT sucking up!) kindly enough to edit your post so that you don't get wacked by me. However, I am warning you not to do that again, and read all monster profiles with a bit more care (that means look at their abilities/weapons)

Mestizio, you are pushing your luck here. We have already warned you of your speedy posts and how they hurt our brains. If you do not comply and at least TRY to look at other people's posts and see if they put *'s in their actions, I will also smack down my GM stick onto your back. This is the second time somebody has complained about it.

Keep in mind that you keep on posting as if you're in quick chat. This is NOT chat. TIME is your friend and you have all of it to compose a decent-looking post that does not make our brains implode everytime we read it. Saying sorry isn't enough. We need to see some progress in your changes, and not just apologies, then more of the same stuff.

~~

I hate being the killjoy around here, but I'm going to be following the 'Three Strikes Rule', which means that after three warnings, you're automatically booted from the rp.

Just... be careful alright?

~~

And for all those that haven't realised, Rhiya has just died. She will now respawn in 5 seconds time, quite possibly over Darth SS, who is now nearly out of the danger zone.

[PyrosNine]

After much confusion on my part, I'm outta this RP, let's just say I summoned Hamtaro and that's it. BYEIES!

[Mesden]

I'm out of here too. I've caused too much confusion and made too many problems. I'll take this as a learning experience for future online RPs and get out of your hair. I didn't mean to anger anyone by trying to participate too much. My posts must be annoying if I they were directly targetted by the GM of the game about how they looked really bad. Sorry about that and I didn't mean to make your life more difficult. I know how I hate it when people act annoying and I didn't mean to. Lets just say the dragon I was hacking at decided to eat me and I said sure.

[The Wizard Who Did It]

Omni, I am giving you a warning not to attack the Scavengers like that again... Mestizio, you are pushing your luck here... Keep in mind that you keep on posting as if you're in quick chat. This is NOT chat.
Period?
And for all those that haven't realised, Rhiya has just died.
Am I the only one here who thinks that this RP is twenty times more chaotic then the last one?
After much confusion on my part, I'm outta this RP, let's just say I summoned Hamtaro and that's it. BYEIES!
... I guess not. See you next time!

Really, I think this got a bit better after the whole Bathroom thing, but a lot of people either aren't posting or are posting too much... isn't there a medium anywhere?

[Rhiya Ravenwing]

well, i dunno... I could just completely screw this rp over and close it now forever, but meh...

This rp IS 20 times as confusing, because there's twice as many people here this time.

[GARUD]

@Avatar RP GM's: Here is my advice. If you are going to make an Avatar RP, give a limit to how many people can join (make it the size of the Christmas RP...it had enough to keep interest)

@Avatar Roleplayers: You also get some advice. I would say you should not sign-up for these types of RP's (where you are yourself) unless you are a veteren or semi-veteren to normal RPing. (You can tell if the person is any of these two by the way they format their posts). Until the NPF members can define what kind of personality you have, they will be unable to combine your attitude with your Avatar. Don't sell yourself short though. Get some practice, and when you are ready (about 250 posts of roleplaying), join an Avatar RP. Also, these Avatar RP's are quite advanced, so it's hard to keep up, virtually impossible not to god-mod and quite difficult to understand what is happening. If you are new, get some experince under your belt.

Anyway, I'm thinking of dropping out, but I can't make up my mind. I know there will be others like this one, but I'm just too confused about what is going on. Unless, Rhyia can split us up and send us to different tasks (about 4 groups for an RP of this size).

[OmniShadow]

Omnishadow....Sigh... is your attack elemental or magical by chance? because you really need to check on the Scavenger profile. They are immune to any magic-based attacks as well as elemental attacks.
Um... Yeah sorry about that, forgot to read the discussion thread :sweatdrop
Well, they are magical. But as this is an rp and not actualy a game where element > another element or magic defense > magic offense I figured it was the form of the magic that would matter, for example. My dark spears had the same cutting power as normal spears would have, thus they should have been able to pierce their shells. Though I will keep it in mind from now on, sorry about that. :(

[Incendius]

Anyone have a quick summary of what is happening? I didn't have power for two days so I could not keep up.

[Bailey]

we've all gone to hell in a hand basket, there were these giant slime dragons, Krylo drugged everyone and taped them saying how awesome he was, and I think there might have been a few explosions here and there.

not sure though. :p

[Premmy]

Asking permission to rejoin, the damn thing moved so quick in three days. If not, I'll be just as signifigant as I was in the last one:sweatdrop

[mauve]

Alrighty... it's
MAUVE'S RECAP TIME!

The majority of us are running for our collective lives from a variety of slime dragons and spider creatures, the latter of which are invulnerable to magic. Rhiya has rejoined the world of the living and is guiding us. (I think.)

What We're Doing:

Ecurt has just shown up. He stayed behind when we went through the portal to Posidon's world and used his powers to summon forth an army of Hamtaro clones. This venture, unfortunately, proved unsucessful. Not because he couldn't summon ham-hams; because he summoned one gigantic bloodthirsty Hamtaro instead of ten thousand mini hamtaros. The hamster and the Ecurt are now in the cave with us, although Ecurt appears to have lost the creature. He is with Garud, covering our escape.

A handful of forumites are unconscious from the gawd-awful stench of the slime dragons. Most of said individuals are being carried or dragged along by the rest of the group. Namely Krylo. I believe most of the conscious people are running behind him, although there may be one or two folks still in the monster-filled cavern.

Arhra has died and respawned as a woman. Toastburner has died and has respawned as a dragon. Rhiya has died and has respawned as... Rhiya. With a gun.

PyrosNine and Mestizo have left the game. I'm not certain about KP, CT, and Raiden. The former two never left the flaiming ruins of the girl's bathroom and the latter is... around somewhere.

We are currently contemplating the possibility of splitting into smaller groups.

Am I forgetting anything?

[Bailey]

We forming up into groups?

If I had to pick people to go with I would choose TB, Mauve, and Arhra.

[The Wizard Who Did It]

Am I forgetting anything?
I'm exploring ahead, most likely only to return to say that we have a cross roads later on.

As such, I don't know what group I would be in, as most of the time I'm on when nobody else is posting. As in I'm on during the day and night till the latest of 11 in the , what is it, Central Timezone. In other words, Minnesota US.

[mauve]

I know we were thinking about splitting up at one point in time, but I'm unsure if we're sticking with that plan or not.

I live on the West Coast, and I think I'm the only NPFer on this side of the country. I'm usually online between 10:00 and 12:45 a.m. on M, W, and F, and after 11:20 a.m on Tuesdays. Weekends are usually at horrible nightime hours when the rest of the country is asleep.

It doesn't matter to me who I am grouped with, if indeed Rhiya decides to split us up. I'll find ways to help/harm them.

[Toastburner B]

Well...if we do split up via time zones (even though I don't think it's quite as pressing as it was before, since it seems like the group has leveled out), I live in the mountain timezone (-7 GMT or something like that), and usual check M-F between 8 and 2:30...some evenings...some late nights on weekends.

[Melfice]

Right, I'll add my timezone as well. I'm GMT+1, and currently, I can check almost any time of the day. This is prone to change as I'm actively looking for a job.

[GARUD]

GMT+10. So if you are in Eastern Australia, Guam, and Vladoskivia...or something... you are probably grouping with me.

[Rhiya Ravenwing]

I am near the southern part of Australia, but you are probably correct.

As for premonitions: yes, come in again. I don't know how, but come in and say you got lost through some form or another, then caught up again....

[Arhra]

I find it ironic that the organising to split up has been finalised at a time when it isn't as necessary any more. Still, anything that aids clarity is good I guess.

[Melfice]

So, Newb, I take it EST stands for European Standard Time?

If so, it looks like I'm with you.

[Toastburner B]

I'm not sure if splitting by timezone is an equal way of doing it.

Here's what I got so far:

TWWDI: GMT-6
Mauve Mage: GMT-8
Toastburner B: GMT-7
Melfice: GMT+1
GAURD: GMT+10
Rhiya: GMT+10(?)
Newb: GMT-5 (EST is Eastern I would assume)

The majority of those who posted their time zone are hanging out in the US (Mauve, Twiddy, Newb, and myself). Rhiya and GARUD are pretty much in the same timezone (the chart I'm looking stuff off of sucks, so please forgive my inability to tell Aussie timezones apart :sweatdrop)

If we went by timezones, chances are one group would be far larger than the rest, due to the fact that most NPFers live in the Americas.

Then again...I'm just here for the ride...don't me me. :yarr:

[mauve]

In my opinion, time zones really don't matter, since we're all on at different times anyway. Things have quieted down here, so the way I see it, anybody could be in a group with anybody else and it would work out okay. But that's just me. And as we all know, I'm a freak.

[mammothtank]

Well, yes, you are, but is that necessarily a bad thing?

Anywho... yeah, things have slowed down enough that the original reason for splitting up has been lost, though that doesn't mean we can't still split up.

Having three different scenes going all at once can get somewhat confusing (though we did pretty well in the last avatar RP), so if it seems like a good idea, I'd like to make a suggestion. In the past, whenever I split my RP players into separate teams, I would have the members of each team all posting in a particular color to make it easier to remember where a post was taking place and who was involved. Worked like a charm, too. If you think this is a good plan, then once everyone has chosen a path, we'll assign a color to each team. How about it?

[Rhiya Ravenwing]

that would be a good idea.

Left Tunnel: Blue (team 1)
Middle Tunnel: red (team 2)
Right tunnel: yellow (team 3)

or will people dispute the distribution of the primary colors?

[Bailey]

Hey!

I wanted blue!

(is already going left) :p

And you can't think of an advantage to follow me?

I'm hurt!

[Melfice]

Also, will our mono/dialogue be the coloured text, or the entire blur of text?
'Cause I'm already using cyan as my speech-bubble, as it were.

Seriously, Newb. What have you to offer? I had to pick between a god, somebody who sort of knows the way and you.

But, if it makes you feel better, I did roll a d6, and it did roll a 4.

[Bailey]

I might pull candy out of my bag!

That's an advantage!

Hey, I might even pull out some fancy new thingymawhatsit that you could use.

Or I might cut my hand on a shaving razor when I reach in and end up pulling out a tissue!

Oh, wait, that's a bad thing.

[mauve]

Well, yes, you are, but is that necessarily a bad thing? Not here, apparently.

Good idea with the color coordinating, MT. That'll be helpful.

[Bailey]

I'm surprised nobody joined my team upon hearing the word "candy"

[The Wizard Who Did It]

Going down the middle path, because it doesn't seem as if many people are going that way. Plus I don't want end up in some random place leading to Hell. I think it would be better to follow the guide.

[Bailey]

I would just like to remind people that a beeping device has rolled down the sloping path.

I am going to point back at this should we be ambushed while on this path.

you'll see why.

unless you're rhiya, in which case I'm telling her as soon as she logs on to aim

[mammothtank]

However, he then shrugged after a moment and began running down the tunnel, the guitar held high above his head to provide him light.

Hey...MT didn't say what kind of axe it was....
*blink*
Definitely didn't see that one coming. See, that was supposed to be a Light Axe from Dawn of Souls FFI. See, it casts Diara, which is basically a blast of light, so I figured it must at least glow when not in use, right?
But a shiny glowing guitar is badass, so we'll go with it.

[Rhiya Ravenwing]

ack! Sorry for the negligence.

Name: William's Elite Guards
Class: Beyond Insane
Appearance: William's Elite Guards look like ordinary muscle-bound men, save for the odd-looking slitted eyes and their cat-like grace.
Abilities/weapons:

Immunity - once again, the Elite Guards are immune to magic and element-based attacks.

Agility - These creatures are extremely fast - like lightning - and can squeeze in more kick-assery in one second than a Banninating-happy Krylo. Their speed and agility is nearly second to none.

Combined summon - If more than three get together and start chanting, watch out! They can at will summon forth any minor bosses once at a time without difficulty.

Superior regeneration - These guys heal damned fast, but if you hack at them enough, they'll die from blood loss rather than a lost limb. Bullets are also extremely good in this situation, although their agility makes them a damned hard target in the first place.

Mastery in Martial Arts - Deadly combination of fists and feet and their own lithe abilities, William's Elite Guards are experts in disarming combatry. Once they get close enough, it is hard to fend off their vicious attacks.

~~~

Name: Leviathan
Class: Minor Boss
Appearance: unlike many assumptions, the Leviathan is a massive golem-like construct. Composed entirely out of Chaos Diamond (Solid chaos as hard as diamonds) the Leviathan is a fearsome construct to behold. It towers above its summoner, a great, hulking creature with a cruel mind of its own. Its massive fists are spiked and deadly, and it's mouth is elongated and full of snapping, vicious teeth.

Abilities/Weapons:

Rage - once summoned, a Leviathan will disregard any commands and will immediately set about attacking anything that moves or breathes, no matter which side they're on. This is usually why the summoners withdraw immediately afterwards, not wishing to be in the enraged golem's destructive path.

Chaos - composed entirely of solid chaos... you get the drift, you DnD crazies. It's not a good outcome to be on the receiving end of a Leviathan's attacks.

Fists - the Leviathan's only main weapon. Though slow, once they build up speed and you're in the way, getting hit is like being struck by a bus full of obese people going forth at 60mph.

High resistance to anything - Unless you've got something sharp enough, and crazy enough to cut through the hulking construct, any other sorts of attacks are practically useless. Its basic construction made it to be super durable. Hence, extremely hard to dismantle a Leviathan.

~~
That's it, i think...

Oh, and RED TEAM you will not be able to arrive at team YELLOW'S position until AFTER they've done some damage. Please be considerate and lag behind a bit. I think the same goes for Blue team as well.

[The Wizard Who Did It]

Just a question, have they done enough damage now? On a technicality, I kind of overkilled the trap to symbolize that we are near the end, but it's your call.

So can we join the fight?

And a super powered Mauve... not what I need.

[Truce]

I'd never thought I'd see an RP where I'd yell out "This is worse than Christmas!"

Though, I can say I can think of two ways to defeat the leviathan.

The first is to stick a bomb in its mouth and let it explode from the inside. The second is, quite frankly, make it watch the Naruto Dub.

That said, we could always lead it over to Overlord William's place...assuming we're fast enough.

[Krylo]

I would just like to point out that about half of my reason for not posting until just now was that I hate reading colors. Especially yellow (eye burnification) and dark blue on black (why must I squint just to see Newb be inane?). The red wasn't bad... but still, you could have at least used lemon chiffon and pale turquoise.

[mauve]

I hate reading colors. Aw. I'll bet the colors don't hate YOU, Krylo.

And a super powered Mauve... not what I need. Oh, I'm not going to waste ALL my MP on you, Twid.

You know I actually spent time offline trying to think of how to defeat something made of pure diamond? I spent a good fifteen minutes of homework time pondering how one would harm such a creature. Yes, I am a freak. Those critters were a good idea, Rhiya.

[The Wizard Who Did It]

Oh, I'm not going to waste ALL my MP on you, Twid.
That just makes me feel all better. Oh yeah, and Twid?
You know I actually spent time offline trying to think of how to defeat something made of pure diamond?
See, if you focus on the chaos thing it seems easier. Also, dimaond is a compound, and it would merely take some 3000 degrees (celsius I think, could be fahrenheit) to melt the diamond. Also, I believe that cutting diamonds involves hitting a mallet over fault lines or something. Basically meaning that the diamond itself is hard, but it's in little chuncks.
Yes, I am a freak.
Aw, Mauve you're not a freak, you're just... MAUVE, FOR THE LAST FUGGING TIME PUT THAT DOWN!!! DAMNIT, MAUVE, DON'T PUT THAT IN YOUR MOUTH AND... SHE'S CHOKING NOW!! RAIDEN, YOU KNOW MAUVE NEEDS CONSTANT SUPERVISION, WHERE THE HELL WERE YOU!!! CALL THE AMBULENCE BEFORE SHE PASSES OUT!!!!

EDIT: Darth, Raiden, you kill one with your suger idea. Whilst I cook up some magic and fatally damage the other, as well as supply "Order weapons." I think that I would normally rethink that option for Mauve, but meh.

[Darth SS]

Bow to my very wrong science!


Still, I think it's a wonderful plan. Turn them into sugar.

The alternative was to somehow turn light them on fire (Pyros in the mouth) and let the water and air work together to create a hydrocarbon, then break into CO2 and H20.

[Mesden]

I know I'm not in this anymore, but I have to congratulate Darth on his spectacular theorum. However wrong it may be, it still makes you laugh. Wow Newb, either that's insane foresight or you lucked out.

[Bailey]

Hey, I did say that whatever the bag supplies to me turns out to be useful.

the one time I got nothing out of it it was because the thing I needed was already out and on the groud near me.

[Raiden]

I took a punch, and no one noticed my discovery that simply making them hit eachother breaks them. Oh well.

And Twiddy, interesting choice in attack. It reminds me of that Dominic Deegan story arc. Order and Chaos and stuff like that.

*Uses heimlich on Mauve*

Mauve. Spoons are not to be swallowed.

[Bailey]

wait, you expect us to notice stuff like people who pay attention do?

and anyways, I've been skating around them trying to distract them and make them hit each other since I got there.

[mauve]

It reminds me of that Dominic Deegan story arc. Order and Chaos and stuff like that. Hehe. That's exactly what I thought when I first read it. It's a small Internet after all.

"You can go tell Dr. Faustus over there [...] that I'm on his side."
Just out of morbid curiosity, has anyone else actually seen "The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus," or should I have not made that joke?

[Bailey]

I've seen the Goeth[sp?] play Doctor Faustus in theodicy class.

does that count?


wait, is the tragical history the one with the time travel and he has to make those changes to the timeline and some random guy comes and takes faustus' spot because he's caught in a robbery but pretends to be faustus?

[mauve]

I've seen the Goeth[sp?] play Doctor Faustus in theodicy class. Actually I was talking Marlowe, but the version you saw was probably the same thing. I think a variety of versions were written during the Elizabethan renaissance. It was based on a German story, if memory serves me.

wait, is the tragical history the one with the time travel and he has to make those changes to the timeline and some random guy comes and takes faustus' spot because he's caught in a robbery but pretends to be faustus? :D Um... No, not really.

[Bailey]

yeah, the marlowe version was probably based on the goethe version, since goethe was german.

[mauve]

I've never read the Goeth version; only Marlowe. Did it involve Faustus' "Good Angel Inner Voice" and "Bad Angel Inner Voice?" Ah well, I guess it really doesn't matter.

[The Wizard Who Did It]

I would like to publically state my thanks to Ecurt for not only stating the blatant irony of the spell, but was also the first one to post afterwards. I thank you.

Oh, and my bad side tells you to shut up.

[Truce]

You forgot to mention stealing your Tomahawk. :)

Truth be told though, it did take away some chaos, since it appears that it basically took away the leviathan.

Oh, and that reminds me...the Order Weapons should be really cold, shouldn't they?

[The Wizard Who Did It]

Oh, and that reminds me...the Order Weapons should be really cold, shouldn't they?
From a physical chemistry stand-point, most likely. However, this is in the realm of how the world functions as far as magic goes. It doesn't feel in anything, except calm and soothing. How the hell a weapon feels like that, I don't know. But it pretty much just is concentrated control, so it won't be cold or hot or anything like that. Just kind of pale and luke warm.

Oh, and you'd be surprised how much Domonic Deagon principles actually help out in real (academic) life. For example, in English class when went over Antigone, the teacher asked about what we think of despots or tyrants, being people who take power by unorthodox means. The concepts of contrasting natures that is chaos and order got an interesting look from my teacher on this subject.

To sum it up, read web comics, you learn things.* And yes, part of the order magic thing did come from Dominic Deagon.

*Knowledge is Power,
Power leads to Corruption.
Study hard, be Evil.

[Krylo]

The legend of Dr. Faustus is a german folk legend about the devil seducing a man who had 'learned everything'. He is promised immortality, youth, and a beautiful young bride (of course, he has to be a dirty old man). It all started because a) Faust needed to know more, as he had learned everything he could in the mortal realm, and b) God challenged
'the demon' (whose name changes depending upon the version) to corrupt Faust. Goethe's version is the most famous retelling, including the demon Mephistopheles.

Marlowe, being a psychiatrist, probably butchered it into something having to do with psychology instead of the dichotomy between good and evil with Dr. Faust being caught in the middle.

Those things which ye sin, destruction, and, chiefly, evil name, I as my peculiar element do claim.
--Mephistopheles The Devil, when asked about his nature. Johann Von Goethe

[Rhiya Ravenwing]

........ I am really getting slack in this.

I was planning on finishing this by the end of January, but i guess finishing it on the 5th of Feb would work too.

[PyrosNine]

Any chance I could return for the Grand finale? I feel that I haven't pestered Raiden enough in this rp for my liking.

Or is it still pretty full?

[Raiden]

You should probably enter about now. We're going to go kick Walter's tail.

[Rhiya Ravenwing]

Walter? It's Lord William the Underwater Overlord! (And he doesn't take lightly to those that don't use his full title!)

[Bailey]

Don't worry, as soon as Uckufer recovers from his earlier electrocution, he's going to pull up a random piece of debris and use it as the base of an air bubble for anybody who needs to be carried or loses their symbiote.

At that time Raiden, you can change back.

[CheshireThief]

I'm sorry. Having CT materialize chips and salsa out of mid-air was a bit godmoddy and unbalanced. But it is on my character sheet that if CheshireThief wants something badly enough, it happens. Go team.It's funny because I'm in the RP but not involved at all.

I couldn't resist the urge to take a jab at Krylo.

[Raiden]

Well, you do technically have the legendary Plot Device.

And I swear, the first person to do anything to Raiden in his mortal form is going to be zapped the very moment I turn back.

[Bailey]

Now that it's too late, I'm just going to say that it would have been far easier to have Rizp cast a bubble around the two gods. Sure, they wouldn't have been able to do anything without piercing the bubble and ending up in the water, but it beats being mortal, doesn't it?

[Toastburner B]

This program I wrote is out to get me, I swear.

It's spawned me as a prinny...twice. And now when we're about to go underwater, it decides to throw the book at me. Ah! The pun! It was to horrible to pass up!

And here's the proof:

[CheshireThief]

The best part about that screenshot is my post in the background.
It really is.
HAHA. You're a book again.
All the cool people are still back at HQ, watching TV.
Maybe I should just start a seperate RP about me and KP sitting on a couch watching TV. We could use all the other currently running RPs to be the shows we're watching and make fun of them. It'll be sweet!

[Bailey]

CT, if you start that RP, can I try to steal the remote and end up getting sent to make popcorn?

[CheshireThief]

CT, if you start that RP, can I try to steal the remote and end up getting sent to make popcorn?

No. That RP will be very strict on the rules, and also very Invite-Only.

[Raiden]

I envision one of those really old shows they used to show on MTV.

CT and KP would sit on a couch, and the entire show would be them watching TV and saying stuff about what's on.

Of course, I'd be the neighbor that, although he doesn't really live there, just so happens to walk in and make guest appearances. Especially since I bring the beverages.

[Rhiya Ravenwing]

OMFG! I wrote out all this stuff, and then Firefox signed me out automatically before i could post! *angst angst angst*

Name: Saltwater Piranhas
Class: Grunts
Appearance: exactly like freshwater piranhas, only with more teeth.

Abilities/weapons:

ZOOM! - Piranhas are fast. They can take a bite out of you, swallow, and come back for more before you even realised it's attacked.

So... many... Piranhas! - they are tiny, have low defence, but they make up for their size by having strength in numbers. A large school of piranhas is fatal.

OMFG TEH TEEF! - no need to explain here.

Feeding Frenzy - piranhas rise up to the Logical class if they smell even one drop of blood in the nearby vicinity.

~~~

Name: Dark Merman
Class: minor-boss
Appearance: the Dark Merman is a sexy merman (sexy to the point he rivals CT's looks!). His dark hair and dark eyes shine with charisma, and his voice is heavenly.

Abilities/weapons:
Minor trident - like Poseidon's real thing, only a bit more normal. It still packs a punch and does some mean water-based attacks.

Command underwater creatures - Like the Beast Master, the Dark Merman can call upon the aid of aquatic creatures of any kind (including sentient aquatic animals), be it whale or shrimp (however, an army of shrimp isn't really useful). All animals under the Dark Merman's control immediately rise one class from their previous.

Charismatic Smile - A single-sex enchantment. The Dark Merman can concentrate so much charismatic power into his smile that he can turn all feminine-oriented creatures to his side. The only way to break the enchantment is to kill the Dark Merman, but first they have to get through the women....

Speed, strength, agility, constitution - like other minor bosses, the Dark Merman can draw upon his surroundings to heal himself from even fatal wounds. He is fast, strong, agile, and relatively resistant to most elemental and magical attacks (well... you have to get your own accuracy right or you'll never hit him. Damn his good swimming skills!)

EDIT! Forgot to add this into the Merman's abilities:

Loving Kiss - A close-encounter manouever, the Dark Merman places sexy lips upon the victim and causes them to fall into a permanent coma. There is no cure for this.

[Darth SS]

Okay, just tossing this out there...


Garud, the (relatively) scrawny mage managed to swim faster than a lifeguard, and Krylo?

[Rhiya Ravenwing]

he's been cemented.

Garud, first warning. Be careful in your posts. There could've been no way you can catch up that quickly.

[Raiden]

Mammoht, Suijin took down the Water Barrier before she gave up her godhood. There's nothing blocking you.

[mammothtank]

Oh.

Okay, I'll go edit then.

EDIT: Edit complete. I'm following Krylo now.

[Krylo]

I would keep a wide breadth from Krylo. Although I'm reckoning one glance from him could probably disenchant Mauve... or at least overpower her love with pure rampant heart stopping fear.

He is angry. There is one thing worse than killing someone to me/him, and that's controlling them. He will kill/cut through anything that gets in his way.

To understand his anger, you must first understand my own. When I get angry enough, I snap. Literally. My very look changes. My eyes lose their... me-ness. I don't know how to describe it but they change (as cited by multiple friends who have seen me go apeshit on people). My voice changes and becomes completely cold and level. My movements are all very defined and completely solid. And, most of all, I do not feel anything physically except the cold urge to kill whatever pissed me off. And you CAN see this in my eyes.

Luckily, this usually wears off for me before I can seriously hurt anyone.

Now, imagine this non-pain-feeling altered-presence pure palatable rage on an expert gunman who is also completely and literally immortal.

Now, if you're Mauve, imagine you'd seen him kill Toastburner with no hesitation just on the hunch that Toast was a shapeshifter without knowing he could come back to life.

Although, he's a shitty swimmer, so a little boost from sui-raiden wouldn't be disliked.

[Raiden]

Alrighty, Krylo.

Insta-Fins, coming up.

[PyrosNine]

Geeze raiden, the watery you is so girly. While you're playing dress up with Krylo, I'm busy opening a portal to hell. Again!

Whether or not this will actually help me travel through the ocean is yet to be seen though.

[Raiden]

Geeze raiden, the watery you is so girly. While you're playing dress up with Krylo, I'm busy opening a portal to hell. Again!

Said the guy who actually HAS a female form.

And he's not a DOLL! He's an action figure. Get it right.

[mauve]

For the book, Mauve's Rage thang affects a rather large area, so some of you folks are probably in her line of fire. Act however you see fit.


Man, with everybody respawning ten times sexier than normal, we could run into some serious problems here. I mean, you shouldn't underestimate the power of raw sex appeal.

I wouldn't know for certain, but I have been told that Krylo and CT were once locked in a small lead-lined room together, as a scientific experiment on the forces of sexitude. It was later reported that their combined sexiness was so powerful that it ripped a hole in the time-space continuum, seeping into several time periods and at least three different dimensions. Some scientists surmise that the post-war baby boom and the love-ins of the late 60's and early 70's were entirely Krylo and CT's faults. The 90's era, then, was the timeline's resulting hangover.


Sheez. The only time a nerd like Mauve gets to be noticed by sexy folk, and she's trying to kill them. What the hell is wrong with that picture? ;)

[Raiden]

Because homocidal chicks with magical destructive powers is hot?:D

[Toastburner B]

It occurs to me...once again...that other than the reincarnation thing, I am grossly underpowered to be hanging out with you people. :p

[mauve]

Hey, YOU can come back to life. And incidently, your repetative deaths provide a great deal of entertainment value. Y'know, come to think of it, I'm one of the few folks left who CAN'T come back to life or instantly regenerate. And of course, I'M the one who's trying to stop a party consisting of Raiden and a pissed-off Krylo. So I guess you can add "suicidal" to the list of words describing Mauve. :D

But I'm having fun with it, gosh darn it.

[Toastburner B]

Like I said, other than the reincarnation thing. I mean, seriously, none of my forms are particularly uber when compared to angry immortals running around (with more being added to the list at every turn). I mean, come on, my main power is that I die on command. :D

[Truce]

Don't forget Toastburner, you have the power to grant wishes!

Not that you're able to grant your own...but you know what I mean.

[PyrosNine]

Oh yeah baby! I went THERE.

If I can create an outlandish and impossible method for traversing the ocean while at the same time degrading the good name of a beloved Beatle and mixing in a foulmouthed squeaky voice, I can say I've done my job well.

Driving you down that road to insanity on the wrong side of the road backward since before their were roads and insanity.

[GARUD]

Sorry Rhiya. An apology is not much, but i's the best I can give you for that terrible post (is it just me, or am I the only one who keeps doing this?).

Just to say a few things. First, I'm not human. I don't know why people keep thinking this... probably my human-like shape.
Second, the groin shot would hurt me, but not in the way I know you wanted (to degrade me). Why? Simply cause I don't have a groin (Gasp, Shock... too much information). If I ever need one, I'll grow one. (And yes, I am male despite my lack of equiptment) It still hurt though. All part of the non-human thing.
Thirdly, will I get out of the cement eventually, or am I stuck there for the rest of eternity?
Fourthly, I'm quite a good swimmer. Very good in fact. Unlike most mages. I don't like to run though. Fast in water, slow on land.

Hope I cleared a few things up.:rolleyes:

[Toastburner B]

Don't forget Toastburner, you have the power to grant wishes!

Not that you're able to grant your own...but you know what I mean.

Either I totally missed this joke, or Ecurt has some insidious plan to kill me and then bring me back as a genie or something.

EDIT: Nevermind...I know what he's talking about now. I was just to stupid to think about it at the time.

[mauve]

Pyros... What have you done to poor John?! I could see it if it was Paul. (Who cares that Paul is technically still alive?) But John?!

Anyway, that was still hilarious. I started laughing out loud as soon as I saw the words Yellow Submarine. A hellship?! That was my favorite movie when I was but a wee nerdling.



Oh, and Toasburner? That last post of yours was practically INVITING someone to kill you. I say Pyros hits you with the submarine.

[Toastburner B]

Oh, and Toasburner? That last post of yours was practically INVITING someone to kill you. I say Pyros hits you with the submarine.

Everything I post invites someone to kill me. Heck, trying to get out of Newb's bag got Raiden to kill me, and talking with Arhra and Newb afterwards got me crushed by a hampster ball.

And he already ran me over with a hampster ball, why not a submarine?

[PyrosNine]

What? And tarnish the paint? Don't you know they stopped making Yellow of the damned back in '89?

[mauve]

What? And tarnish the paint? Don't you know they stopped making Yellow of the damned back in '89? I hear you can still get it if you look at Ebay of the Damned.


And I think you just won the award for Most Awesome Way to Kill Toastburner As Of Right Now.

[Raiden]

I hear you can still get it if you look at Ebay of the Damned.


And I think you just won the award for Most Awesome Way to Kill Toastburner As Of Right Now.

Just be careful, or else you'll end up just buying a Picture of the Yellow of the Damned.

Oh, and anyone could shoot him with a torpedo. I managed to kill a Lawfully aligned character with a weapon of Order in just one hit. That takes skill.

[PyrosNine]

Hey! Having an evil John Lennon possessed Yellow Submarine takes skill too! I could accidently bust a gut laughing at the sub or the sub's victims if I'm not careful!

[Raiden]

Wizard, just so you know, Raiden is currently Ruijin, his water deity form. The physics of water don't apply to him. He can will water to move, which actually propells him forward. He's not using just his own strength to move, which is why he's able to move so quickly with very little time needed. Which means that the whole thing about his punch being weak because of leverage or that the water slowed him down doesn't work, since the water works for him, not against him.

And I've got to wonder how you're breathing underwater. You gave no hint at having the power to breathe underwater, and you have yet to state that you had one of those creatures on your face.

[The Wizard Who Did It]

Wizard, just so you know, Raiden is currently Ruijin, his water deity form.
Yes, of course. BUt, you see, the Wizard doesn't necesarily know that. All he knows is he ust got hit and now has his face bleeding all over the place. He merely thinks the water's working for him.

Because, come on, Raiden using water to fight? Madness.
And I've got to wonder how you're breathing underwater.
You just know that's going to hit him any second now. (Yes, I did plan to have him pratically drown. Although the above... claiming "lack of character knowledge" is really bliss)

EDIT: To a certain extent, fixed!

[Toastburner B]

Oh, and anyone could shoot him with a torpedo. I managed to kill a Lawfully aligned character with a weapon of Order in just one hit. That takes skill.

Not that impressive...I was a prinny at the time, which made me at least somewhat demonic since prinnies are native to the netherworld...hence, chaos.

Guess I better go see how I died this time.

EDIT: Oh, come on. That was it? You can't even kill me with originality?

Anyways...my character select program is at school...and I probably won't check tomorrow anyways...so guess I'm out until Monday.

See y'all then.

::shakes head:: Torpedo. That's it? A freakin' torpedo?

[PyrosNine]

A torpedo of unrelenting hate from the accursed Yellow Submarine, possessed by the vengeful and maliced John Lennon's soul? That wasn't original? You've got to be kidding me! Not a torpedo, A torpedo of UNRELENTING HATE! Similar to "Tickle Me Hellmo"'s squeals of HATEful laughter.

There was another way I could have killed you in an even more original way, but I decided to save it for the Merman. Oh...he'll pay for what he's done.

I HAVE FURY!

[The Wizard Who Did It]

I HAVE FURY!
What in the nine and half half-fiery hells did the merman do to you? All he did was make you look incompetant without your powers and look sexy. Both are inherent. Leave that 'nasty kill' for Mauve, or for another of the ladies.

And I think it's funny that I was out for some 4 or so days and all you guys did was finish an encounter with some merman dude. He's not even dead.

...Looking back at my post, I think I've taken the persona of that jack-ass who now controls Twiddy.

[Raiden]

...Looking back at my post, I think I've taken the persona of that jack-ass who now controls Twiddy.

I call the rights to zapping/punching/kicking/stabbing/eunichizing/otherwise demeaning Twiddy. You guys can pick up whatever I don't take.

[PyrosNine]

Because all my attempts of taking Rhiya to the God's christmas party, God's Ball, Ragnarok Via a time machine, and McDonald's fail; and my methods of asking involving yelling, hurling diamonds at high speeds, and leading her with a line of M&M's were unsuccessful.

Then Why should I be complacent when a bastard child of a drunken sailor and a far too amiable fish simply winks his long and eyelined lashes at her and she's like putty in his dirty, dirty hands?

And then there's the fact I just don't like Merfolk. And Elves.

Merfolk go out of their way to make my travels difficult, and possibly kill me, whilst Elves are bitchy about anything that's capable of setting afire their sexual partners/trees.
And because he made me look incompetant and he looked far more sexy.

And meanwhile, I tried to ask another girl to a dance, who completely ignored me. So then I just try to get some fuggin-attention from her, and then I have to run for my life. Love sucks, my friend, love sucks.

And yes, you are inherently incompetant without your powers. And apparently he's downright sexy...

I only just noticed he also took "my girl"... son of a-

[Raiden]

Just finished reading Twiddy's last post.

GOD I'm going to kick your guy's ass so hard. The only people I allow talk like that is IHMN, and that's because there's history there. All other cynical people face Ruijin.

And the next person that says ANYTHING about my like of man area is going to have so much waterpressure crushing their head that their eardrums will break, their eyes will pop like squished grapes, and their brain will explode. GOT IT! Don't force me to be creative with my new powers.
