Mithias could feel the thousands of forces still probing his mind, as they hit the impenetrable barrier that his ancestry had gifted him. However, one message was abundantly clear, as he could feel the souls charging up with energy. "No time". The messages was transmitted both mentally and verbally, the layer of nanites vibrating to create the appropriate sonic waves. It was conveyed with a sense of urgency, an image planted into the heads of those that weren't shielded, even as Mithias found himself glowing ever more brightly. Those who had fought Stein and his ilk, or were familiar with the world of Soul Eater, could recognize the white lightning that accompanied a Soular Resonance, and almost instinctively back away.Mithias, having never experienced soular combat, of course, was absolutely clueless.Englufed in a pillar of light, Mithias feels a blow that can't be registered, that there is no biological sense to detect. A pain beyond what the physical form was ever meant to realize, No sensors on the body should have registered this feeling, However, it was implicit, a sense of damage, a piece torn not simply from Mithias, but from what he was, from what embodied him. His pride, his knowledge, his physical presence, his skills, his kindness, his pain. All of it was torn, ripped through, in a blinding mixture of agony and bliss, which ended in a sense of loss. His body and mind were shattered, as his very soul was shaken.As white lightning covered the surface of Mithias' now metallic skin, the surprise attack ripped him open, blood shooting from his skin as it burst and cracked, the nanobots streaming away en masse, dispersing to the point of irrelevance. Their presence seemed to dampen, as each individual nanoboy opened it's own portal, exitting the scene just as it had come, presumably following Toguro. Mithias, in the meantime, was left in a wreck.

Najimi watches as this happens "....you know what? That was very rude of them." She says. She pulls a cellphone out of nowhere and dials a number. She then raises it to her ear as it rings. After a while, she says "get whatever the hell you need, we're going in." After a moment of silence she exclaims "forget about that! You can do that later! Get the EM thing you were talking about, contact the others, and meet me at the lounge." She looks at the group and says "sorry, but I have work to do. Ciao." With that, she disappears
The boy drops the phone "gods dammit najimi right in the middle of my work." He muttered. After all, with how important his work had been so far, one goddammit wasn't enough. He dials a number and waits
a little girl in a dress and yellow teddy bear bonnet picks up the phone "hello?" The girl asks. After a while, the girl smiles "yay! Now I'll have someone to play with." She says cheerfully
".....and that's all you really need to know." The boy's voice said. The shadowy figure listened silently. Not saying a word. Things might just get more interesting
Najimi appeared and looked from afar. Hidden from toguro and the others

((It begins))

"There's another one?" Mithias tried to clear some nanobots off where his eyes were.


"Yeah." Najimi says "I don't remember his name.... cosmos I think it was....."
Wraithblade6 said
The walking nanobot-covered magnet walks over to Teo and Najimi. "... Hello? I can't really see very well like this."


"Oh hey." Najimi says "looks like you took care of that one thing. That only leaves toguro and that other motherfucker." She rests her cheek on her hand "what was his name again?"
Teoinsanity said
"Shit ,they escaped ""Anyway,does anyone have any neosporin?"Teo says,pointing at the hole in his chest


"No, but I do have not only a plan, but friends in low places." Najimi says "who knows? Given my calculations, I highly doubt I'll need to intervene a second time." She sits down in a chair that, along with najimi herself, had not been there before

Oh, shit! I hadn't seen that!I'm sowwy )=Damnit, made two massive posts, and now I have to perform all these revisions. Alright, I'm going to edit in some stuff into Toguro's post, and see if I can make this make sense without screwing up ocntinuity. Sorry for missing your post, man, last I saw you were stuck in some dimension and I was wondering whether I'd have Toguro walk in on you ^^.Hey, you're always welcome to try, man. I do what I do because I tried it, and it was fun. Start a thread, build a world, get some players. I'd be interested in seeing how you GM, everyone has a different style.Gainax ending? Isnt Gainax the group responsible for Evangelion?


I think so. Gainax was also responsible for panty and stocking........that goddamn ending.......
Double post

Great to have you back :)

Yeah, I probably shouldn't harp off on Dark Maka. At this point, she's pretty much irrelevant. Yes, Devil Matt was effectively immortal, but he was immortal because he was the Big Bad. The idea of most of my stories is rather simple, beat the Big Bad. After doing that for a bit, I started delving into multiple ways in which I could present the Big Bad, and how I could make them work, and how I could agitate the characters. I was experimenting with GMing styles, and this is most evident when you look at what I did with the bad guy, the story's Big Bad.Stein was the Original Evil. He was pretty much the first real bad guy in the history of HCL, and as such he just went around screwing people over. He broke their stuff, screwed with their family, took their artifacts, and made full abuse of the fact that everyone back then was amazingly gullible. This turned into a chase, where everyone banded together to screw over Stein, and, for a while, this worked out great. However, then I decided I needed some sort of climax, an epic battle where everything would get tied up, no loosed ends.Let's just say that 'ending with a bang' was an undersatement, when describing this boss battle.Next up was Devil Matt. My favorite moments with Stein were when he was actually a part of the group, hanging around and screwing with people. You knew he was evil, but he was still 'technically' in your team. Of course, I wouldn't be able to pull the same trick again. As such, Devil Matt was made effectively immortal. This, combined with his power, meant he effectively forced the cast to work with them. I tried to go a bit grimmer, confronting the players with some gruesome visuals, and the idea that their characters are forced to do evil, without being able to do anything about it. I wanted to add a bit more character and personality to the group, and, in my opinion, it worked great. I had a lot of fun with this arc. In this version of the universe, he was one of 3 Primordial Evils, bastions of absolute darkness. The other 2 were the Millenium Earl, and Satan. He couldn't be killed, except by someone with no doubt, no hesitation, and an absolutely pure heart. My original idea for the climax would be that Bug, having redeemed himself from killing Tsukune, would have been able to temporarily adopt Tsukune's mindset. He'd then have to strike the killing blow to Devil Matt, ending his reign of terror once and for all. Then, because there must always be 3 Primordial Evil, there would be a choice. Either one of the players could become the next Primordial Evil, or a minor evil character introduced before would become evil. Preferably this Multiverse's version of Stein. Potentially Solus, or Kami.Unfortunately, I never got to complete my plans, but it was nice while it lasted.Next up, the Daemon. Amsusingly enough, this take went without a Big Bad for a little while. In an attempt to recapture a bit of Ancient HCL, I made it a bit more open-world-y. Tiny established his factions, and you yourself created that trio of Kishin Witch Sisters, including Lilith. I played Matt as a bored mad scientist, who was no longer the adventurous youth he had once been, but more interested in peace and order. This was a midstep into his evolution into a keeper of absolute law. For a while, just having the characters bounce off of one another was more than enough fun. However, eventually I wanted to try my hand at the Overarching Plot once more. This is when Kami showed up at the Clone Emperor's Homeworld. Of course, this dude is COMPLETELY different from the Kami inprevious incarnations, which was incredibly confusing. I've never been very good with names.I bult up the Daemon to be completely unstoppable. I took the immortal elements of Devil Matt, but I didn't give them a weakness. Instead of an evil dude with a snappy comeback and a poisoned dagger, they were a force of nature. They were a force of nature, an unstoppable and inevitable holocaust of something that was so much bigger than the characters that it just didn't care. I wanted to throw the characters up into the face of inevitable failure, and, in the end, it was all a massive buildup for Hope, and Pandora's Box. I found it a very appropriate title.The idea was that Hope was the only thing that could kill the Daemon. However, in order to make that possible, the players would have to commit horrible acts, mutilating a small girl's mind and body. The idea was to inspire moral debate, and it worked. I thought it was amazing, and it's one of the things I'm the most proud of to this day. While many people wnated to do the 'right' thing, and free the small girl, Tiny, for example, realized that doing so would doom all of creation. Do the needs of the many outweight the needs of the few? I loved this arc, but it would have been impossible to do without making the daemon so grossly overpowered.Lastly, it's Hate. And I'll admit, Hate was a bit silly. I basically made her because Tyki destroyed my favorite character, so Hate was supposed to screw him over more as a revenge act than anything else. it was childish and silly, but hey, what's done is done. Eventually, it became a massive group battle where literally everone in the roleplay was fighting Hate in a massive Boss Battle, and it was amazingly epic. I remember Natsu basically launching a miniature supernova at her, and all kinds of epic explosions. This was a high-powered battle done right, with people being punched through planets and stars exploding, the closest text ever got to SFX. It would have made the perfect Micheal Bay movie, because the plot sucked, but hey. Unfortunately, it was ended by Tyki pulling Bullshit with the 'council'. Amusingly enough, this happened in the Daemon universe, before the Daemon appeared. Itw as basically just a big old duke out.Every character was overpowered for their own reasons, and had their own styles. As the GM, it's my job to create a badass story, and without creating characters like that it's much, much harder. A bad guy that can be beaten fairly easily is worthless, and won't lead to any dramatic tension. The reason the bad guy is always more badass in the beginning is to accentuate how badass the good guys are later for beating him. Badass heroes need badass villains, that's just how the world works.Of course, if you think you can do it better, I'd be happy to hand you the reins.


Dude, to be honest, I really don't think I could do it better after reading your post.

Also, the battle against hate will be the closest thing to a Michael Bay movie with a gainax ending. Maybe not the gainax ending part but that's kinda debatable.

I'd multiple times explained that the soul is the essence of being, it is effectively a being's energy source. Without the soul, nothing can live, ever. There have been a few exceptions to this rule, such as Primals and Daemon, both of whom weren't beings, but rather physical manifestations of either Multiversal or Universal concepts. However, Dark Maka was never mentioned as such an exception. The only reason I didn't hit her with the nerf bat hard enough to break the sound barrier is because Tiny was GMing at the time, and I wanted to see how he would handle it. The answer is that he tried to kill her over and over IC, and yet you kept inventing bullshit to keep her alive.Now, I understand powergaming. I'm the dude who invented God Matt, after all. Having a character that can crush other characters is fun, in a way, and I can totally understand why you built Najimi like that. However, having a character of that power level makes it less fun for other people. Instead of a mutually enjoyable experience, it either becomes a domination on your part, or just a childish game of 'my bullshitium sword beats your indestructibilium shield', if you know what I mean. My goal is to create a roleplay that's fun for everyone, which is why I try and put everyone at more less the same power level.Now, I'm reducing the power level of the Omegans, and hopefully the others will follow suit. That's usually how it's worked before. If you want to continue playing around with throwing planets, I suppose I could create a split, where we have two different locations. One with incredibly powerful characters, and one with less powerful ones, and the incredibly powerful characters can't get involved in the less powerful character's storylines.Alternatively, you could nerf your characters as well. I'm open to both ideas, or any others you might have.


Well so far, I haven't really used dark maka in the rp for quite a long time, along with alastor, who is about city level but has a pocket dimension in place of a soul (so he'd be immune to soular damage) don't ask me how it works.

Najimi, I'm not so sure. I mean yeah she's seriously overpowered, but to be honest, you had a char that could transfer any wound someone inflicted to that person's loved ones. That ability's weakness is something no one could really figure out, and something I still cannot figure out to this day. There was also the one char that absorbed/possessed kihaku. (Ues I still remember her name) that same char became ultra powerful. That same char absorbed a clone of itself, and became more ultra powerful. There was also the daemon, whose success in destroying the universe could only be delayed and apparently couldn't be prevented by any means. On an unrelated noted I noticed I misspelled yes. But back to the topic at hand. Do I need to mention the judge? The char that, despite being a mage with power over life and death that was being amplified by runes and soular energy, could somehow draw power from the void and become ultra powerful.

Not trying to justify najimi or anything btw
