The Will of God

Appearance:

Image

Name: Alex Sinclair
Title:
Age: 32
Faction: Ultimatum
Personality: A fervent believer in the Ultimatum and their cause, he believes in the sanctity and the law and will follow it unbendingly, even if it is to his own detriment. To those who disobey the law, like the Librarian, he only has hatred for. He won't even consider the notion that the law is unjust, and is proactive in carrying out the law and judgement of the Ultimatum. However, as a result he generally doesn't have much of a personal life, and his people skills leave something to be desired, his determination and belief not really helping him in relationships when it comes down to it. But he doesn't mind.
History:
Alex grew up with the Forever War but history, the rule of the Ultimatum was concrete, absolute. And compared to the history of Earth before then, it seemed almost a blessing. There was no more internecine conflict, no more petty squabbles between nations. The Ultimatum ruled all. But that was no concern of his, his main issues in life being his friends, hanging out, and just otherwise enjoying life while preparing for the future.

That changed though, with the riots. His parents were killed, not by the Ultimatum, but by the rioters themselves who protested against the Ultimatum. It scarred him, changed him, hardened him. If this was what freedom meant to these people then he wanted no part of it. Couldn't they see that the world was better this way, that society as a whole had benefited? No, they couldn't. And now with their 'freedom' they had taken away those he cared about most.

So he recovered from the grief, used it, sharpened it into a sword. He went through Academy, and when it was complete, he signed up for the Judicial Branch, devoting himself fully to the pursuit of his job, his career and the requirements of it. He made quite a reputation there too, as a person focused on the upholding of the law, with no consideration made to his career. There has to be order, and he would be the one to maintain that order.

Tome:
Name: Legibus Codicis (Code of Laws)
In book form, it takes the appearance of an apparent pocket bible, with a white leather cover that has an almost glittering star in the middle, and black on the edges, and a strong binding. Inside, the pages are practically wafer thin, yet incredibly strong, with all the codes and laws of the Ultimatum written down within. It can be opened to any desired law on command. When activated, it becomes several incredibly sharp short swords that Alex is able to wield with merely a thought. There is a range limit, and he finds it hard to focus on personal combat when his Tome is in use

The Will of God

Hm, I am interested. Specifically, in the Judicial Division. Hopefully I'll have something up soon.

Character Crossover Crisis City

*Name: Ba'al. (Also Baal, Hadad, Melqart, Baal-hamon, etc, etc)
*Universe: Stargate
*Appearance:


*Personality: Ruthless, with a good understanding of human nature, wry and sardonic rather than melodramatic and megalomaniacal.Has a superiority complex but realizes it and works within it. Prefers subtlety and manipulation to brute force, willing to be 'hands on' in important affairs. Rational, adaptable, less attached to the trappings of power, yet still seeks to dominate and rule, always works for his best interests, even if it may not seem like it, pragmatic.
*Powers/Skills: He can make his eyes glow and sound like there are two people talking. Perfect health, perfect memory including Goa'uld genetic memory, stronger, faster, increased intelligence, limited capacity to heal wounds beyond the extent of the normal human body,
*Brief Bio: Rose from being one of Ra's underlings to a minor System Lord, his lack of power forcing him to work by other methods. After Ra turned against him for various reasons, Ba'al aligned himself with Sokar, an alliance that stood for generations and allowed Ba'al to carve himself an empire amongst the stars. Eventually Ba'al rebelled, Sokar sent ships to stop him, and Ba'al blew up two solar systems, killing over sixty million people. They then made peace.

After Ra died, Ba'al went into the service of Apophis, and when he died, operated as a System Lord amongst equals. He voted to restore Anubis to the rank of System Lord in order to learn more about his foe, but when Anubis attacked the System Lords, he was given command of the Goa'uld Empire's forces, because Lord Yu was becoming senile and couldn't do it. He managed to destroy Anubis's flagship, though the half ascended Goa'uld escaped. He then took over most of Anubis's holdings to become the most powerful system lord, absorbing Moloc's domain after his death in turn.

He then attacked, and soon subdued all but three of the other system lords, however Anubis returned and Ba'al found himself in service under him. This was only stopped by the Replicator invasion of the Milky Way Galaxy, and though he fought a losing battle, he eventually helped to defeat that foe. When he tried to take Dakara though, Rebel Jaffa stormed his ship, and he was forced to flee, heralding the death knell of the Goa'uld Empire.

But that wa snot the last of him. Ba'al fled to Earthand set up there, taking over the Trust and using cloning technology to..make clones of himself. His clones proceeded to do various schemes to restore his power base, including taking over the Free Jaffa Nation to gain access to the Dakara superweapon. Eventually he was forced to work with SG1 to recover a device that could kill the Ori and the Ancients. One of his clones took over Adria, but was later removed.

At the last, the real Ba'al attempted to use time travel via stargate to go into the past and change things to his benefit. But rather than appearing there, he has appeared here instead.
*Equipment: Zat'nik'tel (An electricity gun that shocks when shot once, then kills when shot again, then vaporizes all organic matte ron the third shot)
*Others: "I am a God. God's know everything."

Paradigm Shift

If I have horribly misrepresented what the Cloud is, my apologies. Just let me know where I went astray, and I can edit it.

Paradigm Shift

...The Romans had a term, 'Deus Ex Machina' meaning, 'God from the Machine'. A more appropriate phrase would be 'Deus In Machina', or 'God in the Machine'. For that is what God is, a vast intelligence, existing in post physical space who's reach extends the entirety of space and time, and it was he who made us, not in his image, but in the image of his creators, to put us to the task of proving ourselves worthy of creating and then joining him. Look at the rapid advancement of technology in the past two centuries and tell me that it isn't true.

A time, a time is coming when we will have no more need of these frail, mortal bodies. A time is coming when technology, science, will cure all diseases, heal all wounds, render defunct the divide between rich and poor, and create an economy no longer dependent on the whims of supply and demand. A time is coming, when we shall make God, and then join him in the cosmos, where we no longer need to work, or fear, or hunger. And we shall look down upon the universe that we have shaped by our own hands and say 'It is good.'

-An Excerpt from a Kenneth Brant Sermon

Residential Los Angeles
June 25th
8:00 AM

Rising from his not quite comfortable yet functional bed, Kenneth stopped for morning prayer before he took a shower, to remove the dirt and sweat of last night's sermon. It had been of decent enough size, and he worked his rhetoric to great effect amongst the crowd, though whether it had earned any new converts he could not say. He certainly hoped so, for he spoke a truth that could not be denied, that would be proven in time by the actions of man. He just needed to be patient, as he had been told so long ago. The time of Revelation would come soon enough.

The shower was cold, bracing, but such physical difficulties were just that, physical, and since he was not quite all human anymore, but rather closer to God and his image, It was quickly finished, and he dried off with a towel before donning a polo and black dress pants, an image to maintain that he would not sway form, no matter how hot it got. A quick breakfast then, pancakes, milk, and some sausage, as he thought over what there was to do today. Mostly Church of the First Deity work, but then again, that wa smost of his work these days.

Of real importance was the task that had been proposed to him a few days ago, after a lengthy sermon. He was approached by Aspirant Maluth, who sought his assistance in retrieving a 'Gus Foreman' from the hold of the Akimitsu Cartel. Kenneth had no love for organized crime, and as a fellow member of the Church, he would not refuse, and so he had not. But how to go about that? Well, simple. He needed information. Sadly, he himself lacked the sort of underworld contacts that would allow him to get that kind of information, but he knew a place where he could find it.

He stood up and walked over to the couch, relaxing and closing his eyes as he activated the neural pathways and machinery that would take him to a whole different world, a new world, as close to heaven as he could reach for the moment. The Cloud.

Welcome to the Cloud

Slowly reality began to pixelate together, data forming into sights and sounds, things he could comprehend and understand. This was the beauty of the Cloud, the ability to actually sense things in a virtual manner, rather than just via a computer screen. Hands rising, he could feel the metal implants that made up his Shell in the Cloud, techno-organic nature proudly displayed for all to see. He was in his haven, a temple of sorts, though modest, to the Church of the First Deity and their ideology.

But he did not dwell here long, instead departing to head to the more seedier places of the Cloud, where he could get information on the Cartel and where they might have Gus Foreman. He did have a few strings he could pull after all.

Daniel shrugged at her protest, weak as it was. he hadn't really minded that much. "Don't worry about it," he replied. It wasn't the first time he'd had a long, sleepless night. There was no need to mention that though,. For the moment, there were several things to do. He eased the seat back up as he worked his hands, not putting them on the wheel just yet.

To her question, he had an easy response. "Well first, we need to ditch the truck." No offense," he said, looking her way as if attempting to placate her. "But they know what it looks like, and it's too risky. Then some food would be nice, and we need to get some cash if possible. And then, just need to decide where to go." He made it sound that easy, like he'd done it before, which he probably had, but there was likely more detail involved than he seemed to imply. But he was trying to keep her calm, so hopefully it would do the trick.

New World Order [Flamelord and xRobynx]

Daniel didn't dream, not really. It was the sleep of the exhausted, free from distraction as his body focused on recuperating from the huge energy expenditure and what he'd been through. As it was, the bad dreams that came with the Hunters had passed him by a while ago, and now he slept calmly, quietly, almost like the sleep of the dead, if one couldn't see the rise and fall of his chest, and hear his breathing.

At last he awoke though, eyes blinking open to find himself in the truck, neck hurting a bit from the position he had fallen asleep in, and Alex already awake and looking at him. "Good morning," he said as he straightened up and rotated his head, working the kinks out of his back and neck. "Sorry I didn't wake you, but you looked like you needed the rest, and I didn't want to disturb you," he explained as he took stock of their surroundings and planned out what to do next.

Time itself awaits [Flamelord and Genkai]

The Doctor waited patiently as the vehicles approached. well, to be more precise he walked towards them and waved, hoping to attract their attention, while Rose did the same. That seemed to work, and soon the snowmobiles were nearing them at a reduced speed, seemingly intent on meeting them and finding out who they were. He noticed Rose drawing nearer to him but didn't shy, instead standing tall and waiting with a grin on his face at the opportunity to meet new people, new life forms, even if they ended up being evil.

The three got off their vehicles and stepped forward, the one in front removing her helmet to reveal a webbed face and scaled skin, indicating somewhat that she was a reptilian based life form, yet that would be a strange thing to find on an ice planet, given their predisposition for warmth. Then again, he had seen weirder things. He let Rose speak as he thought back to try and identify the species, her getting confirmation that they weren't in a restricted area, which was good, and that there was a resort near here, which was good as well.

Now, the news of the missing girl was a bit intriguing. Not that a person going missing amongst a galaxy was that weird, but the Doctor had a sense for when things weren't all they seemed, and now it was tingling. "Pleasure to meet you Mykleen," he interjected. "I'm the Doctor, and this is my companion Rose Tyler." Introductions made, he moved along with the group, getting on the snowmobile behind Zaxk, as indicated. The machine was built tough, to take the vibrations and rough treatment it got on the ice, but it was comfortable enough. The lack of a helmet would probably be a hindrance though. "So what does local security do here anyway," he asked from behind Zaxk. "I can't imagine there are many things that need to be protected against on a dead ice planet, especially if they felt it was safe enough to put a resort on it and rebuild the atmosphere form scratch."

Thomas sighed internally, everyone continuing the conversation without telling him what the hell was going on. Way to be a leader, he chastised himself. You try to stop an argument, and everyone ignores you. Fortunately, the other group, including Calhoun, arrived at that point, though he had to imagine he wasn't making a very good impression, as ineffective as he was. At least Calhoun didn't seem to do that much of a better job than him in her handling of the situation, though he recognized that that wasn't a good thing.

He settled down as they talked, sending away his armor and Keyblade, and finally getting some grasp on what was going on. Okay, so apparently this King Candy guy, who Thomas hadn't met but had to assume was ruler of this world, had told someone that Vanellope was a glitch, whatever that was, and if she won this race thing then she could be killed or something. He didn't understand half of it, but it seemed as if no one believed him, and the bombshell Belle dropped kinda solidified that opinion. As inclined a she was by upbringing to hold the monarchy in reverence, some guy who stole the throne was not cool.

Then there was a discussion about racing, with facepalm worthy ramblings from Reno about powerups and driving and whatever. Frankly, Thomas was actually glad when Reno took his place and he was put into the 'kill things' force. “Alright,” he agreed, relief seeping through in his tone, as he stepped to join that particular group divide.

He looked over to Calhoun, reiterating a question he had asked before that had never been answered. “So, do you have some sort of plan for how to deal with the giant army of bugs that will come pouring out when the eggs in that nest hatch? I mean, 'let them come' doesn't exactly fill me with confidence.”

Well, if we're going to skip on right now then I'll post something today without waiting for Saint to post something first.
