i had four. three now. as for post length, excuse me for missing where an RP turned into writing a paper each post. pardon me for making the attempt to balance this, with college, two jobs, a part in a play, and a household to run. but certainly. let me lessen my characters. let me remove another reason for me to stay. we're still around lava right? i'll just have two of them take a dip. then kill the other one later, and then..oh, right, then be done. come to think of it, why not not leave now? obviously, I suck too much for you people's standards, and the rp would be better off if i wasn't here, so why not just leave? I give. a. damn. about this thing. you all can second guess me, my posting, my ability in rping..but you know what, at the end of the day i give more of a Damn about this RP than you know. so if you lot want to drive me off, guess what. i've been loyal to this for four years. i ain't leaving or removing my cast because people want one character per person or paragraphs every post, or a ratio of posting every day. take offence if you will. but i stand firm. and that's my final piece on the matter.
You mean that guy with the chains and who can eat people? He's obviously evil! Of course people are going to toss away a robed monstrous-looking figure who just showed up, looking at the bad guy hungrily and talking about ripping flesh from bones!

not him. alpha. the one who was..you know what, forget it.
deleted due to double post
how did you bring that up again? i'm done with it. all i was saying was that if we do boss fights where players only have one person fighting, it'll slow things down. it has nothing to do with personal qualms.

The fight will be slowed down, if only marginally, but by separating the players so they all have something to contribute you not only add more player agency but you get to flesh the fight out. If we'd just stuck with Ganondorf and his swords, Pete, Cirno, Utsuho, Chaos, and Jack wouldn't have much to contribute other than taking potshots at Ganondorf while Bee and MAYBE Omega did the visceral stuff. That's not fun. If a whole ensemble of bosses showed up to act as lumberjacks to the main match (where the other protagonists ALSO act as lumberjacks), the players have something to do while Bee deals with the main antagonist.
get called assholes or such when interfering

This sounds pretty personal to me. Don't feel bad, Chaos did a suicidally insane thing and, as such, died as he lived. Better to die as yourself than live having betrayed your own principles.
Earnest Evans
my other character tried to interfere as well, and got the same type of verbal lashing. why does no one note that i have more than omega and the idiot that got killed? and besides that, i agree the slowing is marginal. but here's the problem. so far, there's been nothing for the others haven't had anything to do as provided in the situation. i applaud jack for going off and making his own actions with the looting to have shit to do, but it's an outside thing that doesn't advance the plot overall. i'd suggest, if we must have one and only one person fighting, then have some sort of secondary objective for the others in the boss area.

just checking. Wasn't sure with the issues we were having if we were even making it out of hyrule. Not trying to be Rude or snarky on that, but just observing. Though, we're going to have to get out of the whole one only person boss fight thing if we do more bosses. because besides the whole "oh, screw the cast of powerful player characters, I'M mister super special awesome, so there, suck it and watch me do some cool boss battle shit." vibe it lends, having people's characters watch someone fight, or get called assholes or such when interfering will really kinda slow things down. Also makes a poor read.
we..still intend on getting that far?
Username: One_Of_Many_Many_In_One Character nickname: Omega Primus Origin: Tales of Alpha: Chapter Zero: Omega, An end begun. Where you wind up?: Metroid prime Gender: Male. Appearance: cloaked sans cloak Alignment: Neutral due to his one desire to revive his fallen family, but prefers to stick with the protagonists. Personality: His personality is very contradicting. While he is thoroughly cynical and nihilistic, he is at the same time devoted and protective, and even a Bit affable to the point that it makes him hard to hate. He doesn't lie, but he does keep secrets and tell half truths. He means well and is capable of being nice, but often ends up being sarcastic, especially so when he gives advice. He cannot approve of Alpha’s Ideals of self sacrifice, due to his own experience, but at the same time he cannot deny it due to the same reasons. Though there is an aura of danger about him, he in fact possesses a modest and considerate personality underneath his gruff exterior. Skills: Omega primus is a supremely skilled hand to hand martial artist, as well as a swordsman of few peers in skill. He has a highly tactical mind, which shows in his battle strategy of staying at range as much as he can. Powers: Omega primus posseses some of the same abilities of alpha, having been the First version of him to exist in what would become a cyclical, Inherited form of Existence, which begins with one with the destiny of “alpha” being exposed to the heart of the multiverse’s energies. And ends when Said being undergoes a tragedy grand enough to force them to abandon that name, and Take up the Title and station of “omega”. Thus, his existence is a paradox rooted in existence’s very core. As long as existence persists, his story and existence is retold through numerous incarnations. Normally, He as a conscious Being would not be able to manifest, his essence having been spread thin by numerous incarnations over the millennia. However, due to the Ambient power of the crucible and the presence of Alpha and omega in the multiverse; he was able to bind his Essence to his desire, and leach upon the ambient energy to manifest a Fully physical copy of his original body, undiluted by the Differences in appearance that latter incarnations had. However, that was a one time trick. If the manifested body dies, his essence would once again be spread among his incarnations. He shares the current alpha’s regeneration, although to a lesser enough degree that he still ages. he also has his informational abilities, but lacks alpha's total physical strength. And due to his paradoxical nature, he immune to effects of the forth wall, both in terms of being viewed, and having a view of all that is not immune to forth wall viewing, unless he so chooses to let one look into himself. He also can manifest the various weapons he wielded over the course of his existence, either to use as hand to hand implements or as projectiles. He more frequently uses the latter method. he can also call upon the snatcher, or it's moons to serve as transport. and, his final, most potent ability is that of his eternal testament. the eternal testiment is an ability omega primus gained after his death. despite being subsumed into the cycle, his actions in life qualified his spirit to sit upon earth's throne of heroes as a heroic spirit along with the possibility that one could summon him forth, this ascended the nature of his soul to something bordering divinity. allowing him to call his beloved family and friends to his side reguardless of what time passes. it is the ultimate expression of omega’s ideals. It is a Reality Marble that embodies his dreams and philosophies as both a patriarch and leader. As well as the bond formed with his allies and family. It is His life sublimated as an eternal image. Like how Truth’s Gate can be called the physical actualization of his soul, Eternal testament is the actualization of Omega’s determination and drive. It is an irregular Reality Marble compared to those used by others. Normally only a god or something beyond normal reality like primals are capable of materializing the environment inside their spirits, and as omega is technically neither, reproducing it alone is impossible for him. It comes about through the combined efforts of his family and those whom fought beside him in life, who all shared his desires and pledged allegiance to him in pursuit of a shared justice, even after death and becoming Heroic Spirits on their own as well. They and their leader recreate the cities in which they once lived and shared many joys and sorrows, as it is imprinted upon the heart of each man, woman and child, allowing them to bring about an urban expanse of a ruined city, the air choked with the smog of battle, yet it’s buildings still standing tall. Once fully materialized, the heavily armed array of soldiers slowly appears as mirage-like images and completely manifests as a diverse fighting force with the fierceness of a true army, and the drive of defending one’s home. The entire fighting force is composed of a peerless array of heroes and legendary warriors who have had their names ingraved in earth's very memory. all of whom personally fought with omega on the battlefield in defense of their home. They fought across the earthen continents during life, and no matter what they faced, enemy, fleet or fortress, they fought till the last. As a leader who only desired to protect those he loved, live more fully, and become a man more real than any other, he inspired them enough to leave upon them an impression of never-ending loyalty that not even death can conquer. They are able to break the rules of space and time to fight once more at the side of their leader, and like him, they wager everything that they are on the hopes they share.. They are his greatest treasure within the treasures that he has gathered in his long life, and more than mere followers and soldiers, they are his true friends. They display the violence that reveals omega’s Cynical world view without restraint, and he only takes pride in it. Their thunderous cries and their unconquerable spirit could split oceans, and even someone as jovial and exuberant as indralia would be left silent upon seeing such an army. The generated land is omega’s preferred battlefield due to the recreated cities allowing him to best display his reasons to fight and his preference of facing enemies directly, within areas he knows well. He generally leads the army at the front of the vanguard while atop a Steed, wielding a blade tipped version of his cane, but he can also freely use his weapons on foot within the confines of the Reality Marble if he wishes. Their battlefield, sublimed into eternity, can be actualized anywhere, and if he were to again set forth in protection of a world he claimed as home, all of his allies would hasten to him no matter his location. It’s believed that equipped with weapons from his own reserves, the army would be powerful enough to siege hell itself. Its strength is great enough that simply thinking about it can cause even empires to tremble. Omega is well prepared to face any threat that they may come against them, whether it is an Anti Unit attack directed at destroying only him at the head of the army, or something large like an Anti Army or Anti Fortress attack, and overcome it so that they can easily trample the enemy before they can launch the next attack. He can freely organize the positions of those that enter eternal testament, grouping them to keep allies safe and align enemies directly before his army. He can also choose where to deposit them after releasing it, though only within one hundred meters. Equipment: his cane and the various weapons he can summon Other: (i'm using this to outline his history) Omega primus was born upon a version of earth not unlike our own. however, this earth was linked, abeilt weakly with the multiverse at large. It's only strong link to it, a race known as the indrians. a link, that he represented in blood. a joint blood of two races provided by a king, and kept secret to protect him. his original name, was That of Jacob miller. for the first five or so years of his life, he lived as normal humans did. but one night, everything changed. the indrians, who were fighting a war against a force known as the Voidspawn, were looking for test subjects for a program meant to create elite agents of near godly power via infusion of energies from the nexus , the beating heart of the multiverse. but all the subjects before him died. they lacked a catalyst necessary to survive it's primal, ethereal energies. They lacked the Human Capability to evolve. where others were burned to a crisp by the sheer power, his Joint blood awakened. evolutionary capability, jumpstarted by indrian genes. and his body changed to accommodate the Nexus's power. but something went Wrong. rather than merely soaking it up, as the indrians intended, he was almost absorbed. for a most brief moment, he actually merged with the nexus. until for some reason, he fell out. for the next five years, he was subjected to various augmentations meant to maximize his powers and potential. he served as a watcher agent for decades, until he grew tired of the death and sacrifice. he fled from that life and tried to start anew upon earth. and for a while, it worked. he found love. a wife. and slowly, the two of them created a family of two generations together and for seventy years, for the first time..he was happy. truely, truely happy. but then..somehow, the indrians found that he was still alive. and they came to fear him. fear the concept of a being that could outlast them. fear a being touched by reality's heart. they didn't know any way to destroy him. so they did what they saw to be the next best thing. they bombarded earth. scorched it to the point where it was sterile. and stranded him on it's moon, to gaze upon the scorched remains of his home. to let his failure to protect the only people he had loved, break his spirit. and..for five years, he merely stood were he had been left. gazing at the earth. unflinching, unresting. but one day..he was called upon by old allies. a strange anomaly was hurtling through various worlds. they wanted him to find out why. he went across multiple worlds to find the answer. eventually, he did. a sentient, forth wall displaced world, known as the snatcher was sent off course into a sun at the multiverse's farthest end. At earth's Sun. by a being seeking to absorb the energy from the destruction of a multiverse charged world,and a sun. he diverted the snatcher's path. and in return, the world pledged it's allegiance to him. though the one that saved it wouldn't truly walk its surface again, the snatcher serves Omega's incarnations to this Very day. Ferrying them across dimensions to whereever they need, or desire to be.
Username: Grandsword_Watcher JLM-001 (Controlled by Grandsword) Character nickname: Alpha Gender: Male Appearance: http://sta.sh/015pcnut7j7g Personality: His personality is a thing of slight mystery. he's usually withdrawn, though once someone gets to know him, he's shown to be an individual who cares much about his allies. Alignment: Neutral Skills: before: same as omega after: Same Powers: in his state as alpha, his body is largely composed of bio-mechanical components, save for his left leg, and his head. he has superhuman speed, enhanced strength and the ability to fire bolts of energy from his hands. to round these off, he is gifted with a staggering regenerative ability. so long as his head is not destroyed, he'll regenerate from most fatal injuries in minutes. his most staggering ability however, is his grasp of knowledge and Intel. he's able to retain a massive amount of knowledge, almost to the point of being a living computer. alpha is not without flaws however. as stated before, his regeneration is not fool proof, and can be stopped by destroying his head. From the Fifth and Sixth Crucible pieces, both gained in Stargate; Alpha gains his void reactor, which magnifies his power by ten, and allows him to shape his energy into constructs. also gains the ability to make spectral blades, mostly in the form of an add-on to his strikes. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRQCaxQIQfA) (think that, but with punches rather than slashes.) equipment: the blade of almera, a sacred sword, made to cut nearly anything. Other: alpha is unique, in that he is both a cannon, and a avatar. his half human, half indrian blood marking him as the former, and his body at time of entering the multiverse, being human in design, contributing the latter.
