Your character is fine by me.

@KoL Honestly, I'm not sure what I'll do with my downtime. I'm already wrapping up the better part of three character development collabs.

Quite sad, ain't it?

Seeker of Akasha

To find Truth, one must be willing to do anything.
Jubilee Faustus aka
Mephistopheles, Seeker of Akasha

Age: ???
Gender: Female
Allegiance: Hell
Race: Great Demon
Height: 5'10
Weight: Some knowledge is unobtainable
Personality: Always yearning for more knowledge, willing to commit any number of atrocities to reach her ultimate goal. Otherwise a pleasant person to be around, so long as you don't annoy her. Nothing is free with her though, if you want something than you have to make a deal.
History: On a world like Earth but not quite Earth, she simply appeared. She offered power to those who signed a contract with her. Men could become irresistible to women, become the President, gain fame and fortune beyond their wildest dreams. All they needed to do was make a deal with Jubilee Faustus, one that often resulted in them losing their very soul. Every deal she made extended her life further and further until eventually she was functionally immortal. Millennia passed and she grew bored of the pathetic rock she lived on, hurtling through space with no purpose. So she decided she wanted to be stronger. 'Knowledge is Power' one human had told her, so she decided to obtain all knowledge. Once she obtained all knowledge she could figure out something else to do, so she began her research. A few centuries passed, eventually she learned all she could on the planet she lived on. All that was left was to go somewhere new, somewhere with infinite potential. She found out about the Nexus, a place described as ever changing and full of potential. Supposedly a path to Akasha lay there, the place where all knowledge that has ever been or ever will be is stored.

Another century passed and she made deals with every major power on her world. Little did they know they had doomed their planet to oblivion. Every single person on that planet died, half the population's lives used to create a one way portal into the Nexus. So with a blood red stone in hand, Jubilee stepped off the lifeless rock and into a world of Chaos. She quickly found her place in the Nexus, offering foolish Demons incredible power in exchange for various things. She eventually got herself set up in a nice quiet(ish) corner of Hell where she could do her research. She would go out to search for the way to Akasha for years at a time, eventually returning to her lab to refuel and rest for a bit. On one of these adventures she found out that she was not the only one who searched for Akasha. Someone else had already found it, a powerful figure by the name of Trismegistus. Jubilee was infuriated by this, for someone to grandstand her like this was unacceptable! Now her goal has expanded. Not only will she find Akasha, but she will obliterate this person who would dare reach her goal before her!

Powers:
Wrathful Shell: Jubilee is perfect, if you disagree then you're obviously an idiot who needs to die. With superhuman strength and amazing endurance, she can duke it out with most combatants in the Nexus and take any punishment they have to give. She is by no means invincible however, she just isn't frail like the humans she's consumed over the millennia.

Covetous Hands: All she touches is dirty and full of sin. When she grabs something she can corrupt it in battle, whether it be a sword that grows sharper with every cut it inflicts, or a gun that fires bullets that automatically seek out targets to tear through. She can also corrupt Machina soldiers, but this cannot be done in the middle of a fight, she needs to capture them first.

Clawing for Knowledge: Jubilee hoards all knowledge she can get her hands on. She can be taught by anyone and learns extremely quickly. Whether it be a master of magic teaching her all they know or learning everything a swordsman has to offer within days, Jubilee is a sponge for knowledge. The only rule is that the person must be teaching her on purpose, she cannot copy things she sees in battle. This does not translate to being willing to teach her, if she's drugged you into revealing everything you know then she can learn that way. There are also other exceptions, some things simply cannot be taught.

The Shadows Hunger: The darkness eats and tears, ever ravenous for more. Jubilee controls darkness, shaping it into physical objects that eat whatever it touches like an acid. It takes time to consume something fully of course and the darkness can be driven away via physical means since it has been made physical. The biggest weakness this power has is Light, for it can instantly banish all shadows it touches. In order for the Light to affect the shadows it must have purpose, something as simple as sunlight will not affect the darkness. Unless the sunlight was made with the purpose of driving away Jubilee's darkness it will not affect it.

Shortcut to Greatness: Care to make a deal with the Devil? Jubilee loves to make deals, granting wealth to the greedy, power to those who seek revenge, she can usually provide it for a price. Sometimes that price is your eternal soul, but she finds that's a quick way to piss off those above her now that she resides in the Nexus. So she won't trick you into selling your soul, she makes it very clear when that is an option and it is your option to take. However she is willing to bargain. If you want to learn some sort of forbidden knowledge than she may demand knowledge in return. If you want some sort of magical artifact you will need to offer her something in return. But if you want something insane like Golden Eyes... well some things just can't be bought.

Envy My Craft: Jubilee is quite the skilled crafter, making magical artifacts, altering someone's body to give them wings, enhancing armor to absorb fire magic, she can create and change many things. She can do certain changes to herself on the battlefield, like giving herself wings or gills, but complex changes like enchanting weapons take time. She will of course need materials, you can't make something out of nothing. Unless your name is Henry

Weapons: She keeps two daggers with her in battle, one which carries a disorienting poison and the other fries electronics it comes into contact with. These are both last resort weapons, they're used more for stunning a foe to get some distance rather than actually killing someone. Not to say they can't.

@TheWindel

Fixed that.

[TheWendil]

Well isn't this ironic. KoL, look who it is.

[KoL]

@LHudson@Lmpkio

That fight of Floss and Mephilis has dragged on for too long already. You two have been doing this for the whole duration of the last battle and still mean to go on, really?

Actually, no... Either you two end that in one post of each of you -at most- or I'll end it for you. A stupid combat like that shouldn't be happening in a faction's HQ.

[TheWendil]

It can always be collabed as well.

[Lmpkio]

@KoL Not my fault that Hudson is taking years to post the next installment.... would’ve ended it sooner if he posted faster and more daily.

[thewizardguy]

My post is stupidly short, because there's really not much to say or do. Sorry.

[The 42nd Gecko]

Most players Ira seems to run into seem to be not so talkative. Save Apia.

I should probably get to writing up my reply now that the only person I'm waiting on is Lmpkio, so I'm not the one keeping people waiting.

[Lmpkio]

@The 42nd Gecko Halt on that. I’ll get a post in later today.

[The 42nd Gecko]

@Lmpkio I should still get everyone else's responses written up so I don't have an enormous post to write, instead just one fourth of an enormous post.

[Lmpkio]

@The 42nd Gecko

Fair enough. Sorry for you having to wait on me. I think you know why though...

[The 42nd Gecko]

@Lmpkio Indeed.

@Lmpkio

Just got out of the hospital, sorry :(

@Lmpkio

Speed posting, or the lack of it, was less of a matter than the fact that this has dragged on for much longer than should be tolerable. I mean in relative terms of the fight.

Even if the leadership of Hell doesn't care for that, and the enforcer of the status quo among their ranks (read, their Vassal) is a dumb idiot that doesn't do her job any better than 99% of the rest of the people associated with Hell, still that drawn out, not to say absolutely pointless, fight is getting on my nerves.

[The 42nd Gecko]

@KoL You could just treat this as a collab in progress, in that the actual fight, timeline wise, took like 5-10 minutes, it just took the players a long time to post it.
