Yeah, I was actually going to suggest that. The one I wanted was the original.

@King Kindred

So Raymond Jensen. Yeah that could work and I'll try to leave you some more leniency when it comes to world building Metropolis.

Edit: One other stipulation, could you call him Leech or something instead of Parasite?

As much as I would love to continue to play Thor, I can't if I'm not allowed to enjoy or really be immersed in the setting of Metropolis in which he was raised and lives in. We're meant to be in a game that allows us the freedom to explore these characters in a new amalgamated world and story, but I'm playing with my hands tied because you want Metropolis solely for yourself and Clark when even in DC other heroes have shared the city of Metropolis. It's like twice the size of Chicago and has a population around 10 million and has multiple boroughs like New York.

This isn't me saying I want to take over the Superman mythos, because I don't. I've been setting up Thor's story and villains, but within his hometown. The only reason I even thought about potentially using Parasite was because it'd be interesting and fun for Thor to end up de-powered and weak and know what it actually feels like compared to his speech against the Destroyer Armor and to experience his abilities thrown back at him. And with Parasite being able to absorb memories he'd be able to tell Thor about his origins and how he ended up being raised here instead of on Asgard. And since Parasite's such a cockroach who refuses to die I knew Clark would still be able to encounter him, maybe even coming across the ship that he hijacked to return to Earth. And if he dealt with someone like Thor first he'd be more prepared and would provide a better challenge for the Blur/Superman. "I thought I'd never be satisfied after feeding on a god, but you... I've never tasted anything so good. It's almost like your well of power is limitless."

@King Kindred

There have been four different Parasites in the comics, Rudy Jones being the main one and the one I'd like to keep for down the road. Could we compromise if you use one of the other three?

I hope so too. Though it really won't be the same without your Thor.

Thor both was the one with the weakness for ladies but also had the 'being able to sense when being telepathically probed' power which would have been a fun combo. And as I'm guessing this would be the first time he's interacted with a psychic, it would be interested to see how long it takes for him to realize what's going on and how Cay'an would have adapted.

Also, cat!Loki would absolutely have confused the heck out of Cay'an. Then Loki would be faced with the choice of 'Well this is interesting' or 'Hey, only I can mess with my idiot brother, bitch!' and also deal with the possibility of becoming an uncle.

@Cyrania

Sounds to me like we definitely need you and your Thor to stay, @King Kindred.

I know. There's no hard feelings and I've always enjoyed writing with you. Just the way things went down just really drained my desire to continue. I'm sure we'll cross paths again. I'm not going anywhere. I still love to write and roleplay.

@King Kindred

Well, on no authority whatsoever over the game, if you change your mind, I'm sure the door will be open to you.

I already discussed it with Half Pint this morning, but I wanted to let you all know just in case anyone wanted to play as Thor or use his cast of supporting characters, I'll be bowing out of the roleplay. It's been really great reading all of your stories and I wish you all the best going forward!

@King Kindred

For what it's worth, this is neither what I want nor what I was trying to accomplish so it sucks to see you go. Respect you decision either way and do sincerely hope our paths cross again. Your Thor was fun to read and I was looking forward to more.

@Simple Unicycle An ab window? In this economy.

I never wanted the Luthors as his villains. I just wanted to see what their interactions would be like(like my CS said) given that he's an actual god and Lex's whole hatred for Superman for how he shows humanity how weak they are.

Toyman hasn't been defeated yet? He's not even physically in the Destroyer armor and the fight will be continuing for several more posts.

But you're right. I stole that speech, because I love it and it fits this Thor who has never faced anything like the Destroyer Armor before since he's a god raised on Earth instead of in Asgard.

I've been making sure that I haven't been stepping on your Clark's toes. And everyone's been asking about each other's villains because it's a shared universe. Toyman was specifically the only one I actually asked to use as his villain because of him being a stooge for Loki.

I also started in Metropolis because New York was too common and I was hoping Superman and Thor could meet/interact/team-up before the heroes form a team.

@King Kindred

Look, I'm not trying to kill the game with drama. I applied as Superman to write my ideas of the Superman mythos. I didn't really intend to share his rogue gallery or city with anyone. I'll try to be collaborative where I can but at the end of the day, I'm writing a Superman story that happens to share a universe with other characters. With or without interaction, I can write happily away, and when the time comes to have events where it makes sense to overlap, I'd be happy to do so, but Metropolis is basically a supporting character for Superman.

>Puts Thor in Metropolis
>Asks for the Luthors, gets shut down
>Asks for Toyman, is given him as an olive branch
>Defeats Toyman in one post
>Uses an iconic Superman speech
>Asks for Parasite
>Pattern repeats?

Entire rogue gallery might be an exaggeration, but I do have concerns with how much Superman lore is being used for Thor.

Metropolis is now the city of Thor. Superman can have Valhalla. 😂

@mickilennial

Don't be ridiculous, that requires Superman to die a warrior's death.

Oh wait, you did? My bad. I forgot. My mind's always over the place.

<Snipped quote by Lord Wraith>

And I get that. I don't need Parasite. I was just wondering if you had any plans for him since I didn't see it in the list.

@King Kindred

It's not that I have any concrete plans, but I also don't want Thor punching his way through my entire rogue gallery before I get a chance to have Clark even become Superman.
