Stellvia [Always Accepting] (Hey, these things in parentheses are hip, right?)

Hello again!

After some problems it seems like the other Rp i wanted to join has ended. :/

I was here in the early times and considered joining this Rp, but decided against it. Some might remember my APP, the Ancient. But some of you might not, and there are those who probably haven't seen it.

So i am going to apply for this a second time :P

Feel free to criticize my idea, it might seem overpowered and omniscient but it is certainly not.
I shall then strive to make my ancient as interesting as possible, so i can play it within the campaign.
Do note that i will not be playing in the same way as the others, which i did plan on beforehand. Just so people aren't confused about how my faction/race works.

Also, i will write the info hidden. So that if you want to as a player, can not know how my race works so it's more of a mystery.
I think it would be more fun that way :)

The ancient

Name of nation: The ancient.
Species: The ancient.
Description of government: Monoteistic meritocracy.

History:The ancient is a being, born of the universe and has existed perhaps as long as the universe itself, it is basically impossible to know since the age of the universe, and how the ancient interacts with reality is impossible to track.

The ancient is a singular being, for large spans of time residing in slumber, only to emerge in regular intervals, or when its current resting place falls apart from the passage of time.
There are no actual reports of the ancient in any official data-banks. And if there is any data on it, the data is vague and often religious or mystic in nature.
The sheer age and difference between how most races contrary to how the ancient works, results in very little understanding about the being.

Description of military: There is the ancient. No more, no less.
Technological Overview: Whether its technology or some sort of natural phenomena naturally present in this life-form is not known. What is the truth however is that the ancient is a being of pure energy, able to take physical form. Change its form at will and as such also compact or spread out its form. Able to change its light spectrum to make it appear as a dark idol, or pure light, to invisible to all but the most sophisticated of scanners.

The ancient is also able to slip in and out of hyperspace as naturally as an human infant swims in water, able to naturally traverse the expanses of hyperspace and leave at any time.
To be able to travel the galaxy like the ancient is a wet dream of most civilizations. If they knew the ancient did exist that is.

Being a lifeform of energy, it can survive in basically any environment. And can in close proximity (within twenty or so meters) manipulate matter with thought.
It can move at immense speeds and can reroute energies directed to it to divert it from harm.
While it is probably not 100% control over matter energy conversion, the concept of at all being able to do it is alien to most species.

In battle, the ancient can project beams of matter energy conversion. Which basically orders the matter it hits to release itself as energy.
Unsurprisingly, if directed at an object like let's say a vessel, would do immense harm to said vessel.
The beam is however ineffective against shield technology, but the ancient can reconfigure the output so it streams energy at the target instead trying to overload the shield emitters, or suck the energy out of the entire vessel.

This makes the ancient devastating to fight with just about anything, so being on the receiving end of its fury would probably spell the doom of said aggressor.
However as a being of energy, consuming energy consumes itself. And while it has unfathomable energy resources, they are not without end and should the ancient exert itself too much, it would become weaker and require recharging.
Cultural Overview: The two preferred forms of the ancient is as a very tall (about 4 meters typically) slim humanoid with a triangularly shaped head, or as a roughly six hundred meters long vessel in space. While it can take other shapes, it normally doesn't.
Probably simply because of lack of imagination. And no need for other forms.

The ancient is a contemplative being, preferring to study things and avoid personal contact or interaction with most things. It is also peaceful, unless it is aggravated.
If aggravated it is most likely to try to exit the situation, but if cornered, or in a particular mindset can attack the aggressor.

The ancient has some sort of ulterior motive. Which it focuses most of its active time doing.

Other: The ancient is obviously very powerful. And should be treated with great care.
(Also, its a single ship/person. Flying about figuring out its own problems. It is therefore balanced, since it is not warlike, nor does it hold a great force.)

When/if the race is approved, i will add it to the approved races and try to figure out my introduction.

Also, if approved, i'd like to know if someone wants first visual contact of the ancient. I have a flashy entrance in mind :P. And don't worry, no harm will befall anyone.

Land of Roa

Your detection skill has increased by 5, your detection skill is now at lvl 1.

@KaiserAuto

That's a good estimate of my detection skills at times :P

Just wanted to check if it was still on.

Land of Roa

So i can't help but notice (with my great detection skills) that not much is going on here. Any reason?

Land of Roa

Oohhh shiii.... imagine tiger spirit golems!

While the tiger spirit golem is more obvioulsy dangerous, i still think the kitten golem is the more sinister.

Land of Roa

A poodle golem....

At least it isn't a kitten golem, people would never be able to resist the cuddles!
I should make a kitten golem.

Land of Roa

Kaisers thing is crazy! And kinda awesome.

And mr Potato, i like Nim, sounds cool. If we ever get into a fight things will turn ugly. For both.... war seems such a dangerous affair. lots of people get hurt and people die. Not nice at all.

Can't we all just build big walls and be happy?

Ignore the fact that it's part of my dominion, i would never try to make you raise my power without you thinking about it... :P

Land of Roa

A god of death.

In all fairness, what would a pantheon be without one. :P

I guess i failed to mention the order of priests within my nation whom has the ability to bestow eternal life to their subjects, and to heal those dying?
[/sarkasm]

On a more serious note though, greetings neighbor.

Land of Roa

Oh snap, i lost ma coast!

Oh well, i'll just have to conquer some then.

If you do decide to implement those changes, i could try to figure out some independent faction.

Land of Roa

<Snipped quote by Klomster>

And a wonderous paradise (so good that even the land feels envious) isolated from everyone.

@KaiserAuto

Got some room on your island? It seems much nicer than where i'm living, and my place seems better than what's around it.... :P

Land of Roa

Ah, i can just imagine people on my southern front talk about.

-"Dad, what's beyond our land over there." Says a boy pointing south.

-"Nothing worth talking about....." says the older man, obviously trying to divert the topic, and return to his woodcrafts.

-"How can there be nothing?" The boy asks, clearly annoying the father.

-"We don't talk about what's over there, nothing good comes out of there." The man say to the boy after closing his face to about a hands length from his face.

And a fitting quote.
"You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy."

That to the south, a desert to the north, and a massive rain-forest with poisonous animals to the west... no wonder the people of Lûm stay at home :P
