Bio

Back when dinosaurs ruled the Earth, I got started with writing online on the Spore forums. Man, those were the days. We're talking like 12 years ago 2010-ish!

I've been here on and off for almost as long, and have GM'd a bunch of different things to varying success.

Word of my splendor:

@Cyclone i was't joking when i suggested luna coming in contact with ur djinn. I wonder, if she landed in the vicinity of the citadel, would she get noticed by your vizier?


Considering he's probably a billion years old by now and the most powerful hero, I think he could get the tingles when a weird werewolf was lurking underneath his house ;p

So yes. You're interested in tangling Luna into that collab, or are we talking about a separate post here?
Zephyrion's absence means I must react to any and all of these events on Galbar through Akthanos and the djinn. So as to go in chronological order I'll soon initiate that collab about the immediate aftermath and them claiming the Celestial Citadel @BBeast@Double Capybara.

You two obviously have a vested interest in what happens to the Celestial Citadel, but does anybody else want into the collab? If not I'll get a pad and PM conversation going.
Shhhhh, most of them go willingly, even before they finish ascending. Sharmen certainly seemed to find comfort in Jvan before conversion.

Flux is an exception because most djinni find it really hard to accept change in their identity or that of other elementals. See Slag- All the elementals hated him just because he was different, even though Char made him that way.


Yes, also see Slag because I had him survive Char's nuke for a reason...

He'll be back!
@Dawnscroll I have to keep reuploading the latest version of the map since SOMEONE cough@cyclonecough won't update the almanac.



I drew Zephyrion too! Just look at those brawny arms and piercing eyes!



He'll look something like this once he's done with his (now self-imposed) exile vacation and eventually returns to Galbar.

That reminds me, have Lakshmi's khookies been counted, @Cyclone? She's been around for a while, and I don't think they have.


Nope.

But from now on (and retroactively back to unrated posts) we're just giving 5 khookies per post.
Basically... how do you all view Logos? Describe him back to me.

Because I'm either conveying the concept well or utterly balling it up.


Just like Zephy except maybe he talks a bit less. Thoroughly convinced that he's special and better than everyone else (with some merit to such a claim) when in actuality he just rubs everyone as arrogant and quarrelsome. Deep down he's actually sorta friendly once you get to know him, but that rocky exterior makes him the ultimate jerk. It's his way or the highway!

He just doesn't share Zephyrion's refined tastes for excessive formality and grandeur, but then again, what can you expect from some boring savage that adheres to Order?
@Dawnscroll

You're more or less in agreement with me there. Note that I never said that your Realta would get stomped if they came anywhere close to my little hero with his 10 Might scepter, simply that you're not giving the heroes enough credit.

As you pointed out, narrative is more interesting if there's a struggle anyways. I don't see a point in just having the Realta bombard Galbar from orbit; much better in my eyes to send them down so that there can be an actual fight.
I prefer not to turn this into a numbers and stats game by thinking about it too hard. It should probably just be determined on a case-by-case basis as makes sense.

Being so literal with Might would also mean that the elementals would be disproportionately powerful by this standard (I think 1 Might, some of Astarte's magic-in-a-jar, and then his domain powers over Change were used in their making), though maybe that's fair since Zeph did break the rules and subsequently got punished.
@Cyclone @Rtron @Kho

I don't mean to sound pushy, but have I been accepted?


You're all set!

I'd LIKE to think a few Realta could fight a weaker Avatar to a standstill. Probably last a significant (see a minute) against a God if more of its Brethren or Logos himself was there. They're hardy little bugfers. But once a Realta dies that's it.


I actually looked back and found this.

1 MP used to create the Realta (20,000)


So just FYI there's the inconsistency between the apparent 20,000 typed in that post and the 10,000 you're now saying, but it doesn't matter much for the sake of what I'm about to say. The fact that you threw a total of 1 Might into a bunch of automatons that don't seem to derive power from elsewhere means that we're talking about these 3,300 Realta you're sending being made from a third of a Might Point. That's the combined power between them.

The point here being that since it takes 1 MP to make even a level 1 hero, what heroes we have probably wouldn't be as much of a pushover as you're thinking.
