He was covered in a ball, and it was then shrunk to a ball 5 inches in diameter.

Without the direct intervention of some powerful external being, he's very dead. 

I did not mean to make any point about the beatability or lack thereof of your villains. In fact I severely doubt you would introduce a set of villains if there was no actual way of defeating them. I merely said something stupid in anger. As such I retract my statement, and apologise for having made it.

I did message both of you, actually. You ignored my PM and replied in the OOC, so I assumed you wanted to handle this in the OOC, for whatever reason. 

I'm sure you're an incredibly reasonable and understanding person. But if you knew I valued Emblem more than the average NPC, why didn't you talk to me about it before killing them off? At least to tell me this might not be the instakill it so clearly resembles.

I don't know what your life is like, or what your wifi reception is like. And while I respect and appreciate fighting through circumstances in order to contribute to this rp, which despite everything I still enjoy, that does not make this magically not a dick move. Everyone makes missteps, even if you spend hours planning, and I do not expect you to be a superhumanly perfect GM/Co-GM. But I still don't enjoy it when one of those missteps kills off a character I was looking forward to running.

The reason I'm angry, by the way, is because this effectively throws Team Epsilon out the window. With both their leader and firebender out, I might as well toss the entire idea. That's hours and hours of prepared stories and ideas I wanted to try out, down the drain in the blink of an eye. Although, despite this, I may have reacted overly pissed, and do apologise if my words were too harsh at any point.

I told you at the time, sorry if it wasn't clear enough. 

I am willing to allow all of my characters to suffer at the hands of the plot. Inferno was wiped out and is currently near death, Emblem was crippled for life by Dian's attack. If the situation came to it, I would be happy to have Dusk suffer crippling defeats as well, as long as it made sense. I don't expect my characters to get into fights with the main villains and have them get out unscathed. Hell, if we talked about it, I would even have been fine with characters dying. Emblem dying through Martyr system while heroically fighting the Alkahest, for example, would be a great story to me. But just killing them off in five lines of text feels like my character has just been erased, they didn't even get to die in a cool way.
