I'll be going on a two week vacation starting tomorrow and don't know how often I'll have Internet access. Thank you for your patience. I'll try to be more regular when I get back.

Ok, so I'd like to consider making a character who is a lich, in the sense that he was human , but became undead in an experiment that extracted his 'pneuma heart', similar to how monster hearts are extracted to make Monster Magecha. His pneuma heart is now his phylactery, and at some point down the line he puts it in his Magech. Being able to 'see' the source of his own pneuma gives him better control of his magic, allowing him to become a powerful undead mage, who handles the magic half of a Lovers Magech pair.

Originally, I wanted to pair him with a rogue-like dark elf who could handle the melee half of the lovers pair, who would eventually get the heart of a Bruchus or a manticore for her half of the Magech.
I love me some mecha, and integrated into a fantasy world to boot!

I'm going to start throwing out some ideas to push some boundaries, so please bear with me, I just want to know what's possible and what isn't. We may approach OP Gary Stu levels of power creep, so you have been warned.

1. Can my character actually be an intelligent monster, like a fairy, goblin, etc. What about an undead, for example, a Lich? Potentially disguised as a human.

2. Do elves, dwarves, dark elves or other traditionally sentient races exist, and are they still treated as monsters? You mentioned orc magech, so would a situation where "this magech is powered by the heart of an innocent elven virgin" ever be a thing that happens in this world, and should we stop it?

3. Since Valhalla Corporation accepts all walks of life, does the possibility exist for 'hybrid magech' concepts, combining technologies from the various nations? Even if not at the beginning, would such possibilities be available later in the RP? I'm thinking along the lines of over-the-top 'Season 2' upgrades that many favorite mecha anime tend to have. For example, I'm really liking the Westeria 'Lovers' magech concept, but would really like to turn it into a monster magech with two monster hearts.
It would be sweet and sad if, even after losing her humanity, little Lahzria still remembers the taste of honey.
@Kalas

Welcome back! Thank you for being so forthright, your honesty is appreciated. I'm sure everyone knows how difficult it was for you to take this step so there shouldn't be any hard feelings. I, for one, will be happy to have you back. And don't worry if you feel like you've missed any 'major events', my character, for example, has chosen, for the most part, not to engage with certain events, pursuing his own agenda. If you'd like to retcon certain interactions just to make up for lost time, I'm sure you could collaborate with whichever players whose characters you feel Azhriel should interact with
Gammaton


@Rune_Alchemist @Leotamer @Dealdric

"Do not worry, the General Assembly will not be for...a long while," Gammaton replied to Iva'Krorh with a hint of dejected defeat. As his honorable sibling vanished, Gammaton headed over to one of Iva's waiting gargoyle creatures. "...as your master instructed..." Gammaton said, letting the creature lift him up unceremoniously by the armpits to carry him back to Simyalaymis, The Braided Jungle.



Gammaton had been resting in the Administrative Hive after his last visit to the Library and his rather disappointing run-in with his sister, Lady Dirka. Her contract had remained unsigned, as Gammaton wrestled with what to do with it, and pondered why her refusal had been so adamant and unwavering. He kept trancing in and out of sharing vision with the flies that he and Iva had unleashed. For the most part, they hovered around human settlements, though they were much more widespread in warmer climates. Having a short life-cycle allowed them to breed and spread, breed and spread. But truly, neither he nor Iva had direct control of their movements. He watched and observed the civilizations and races that his siblings had made, feeling a pang of envy. "Is this what it means to be a god? Have I been on the wrong path?" he thought to himself. Somehow, creation for creation's sake did not appeal to Gammaton. Perhaps molding the existing cultures the way Iva did would be more to his liking, but there was something about that he didn't much like either. Besides, the threat of the mortals was too great.

Gammaton rolled over in his silk hammock. "If Dirka does not trust me, then what of the others? What makes me untrustworthy?" Gammaton's introspection was interrupted by a knock at the door of his adobe abode, prompting him to answer. Gammaton looked the silver Bishop up and down, reading the text. Gammaton felt that Lord Ferron was being overly cautious. Though Gammaton's influence had affected the Jungle, he did not formally lay claim to the entirety of it, reserving such formalities for the Administrative Hive alone. Yet this, followed by the offer of 'goods and services' from Ferron made Gammaton think. There was nothing 'physical' or 'material' that he could want from Ferron, no followers to arm, nor structures to repair. Then it hit him. There is no one more dangerous than someone who has nothing to lose. That someone was Gammaton. Having no lands for which he cares to possess, having no personal creations, having no favored mortals, Gammaton was that someone. Gammaton's desires were intangible and esoteric, his weaknesses were therefore out of the reach of others. Other gods could be blackmailed, or have their 'things' threatened, yet Gammaton was free of these things. Perhaps this was why he was not trusted. They were afraid of bargaining with him because he operated on a different currency that they did not fathom. Gammaton would have to shelve this thought for later, and seriously consider creating things to give himself 'vulnerabilities'. After all, with nothing of his to attack, it left only the General Assembly open as the only way to oppose him.

Gammaton quickly pulled out a scroll, writing down an explanation that The Braided Jungle was a free realm for Ferron and the other gods to travel without offense, and that only entry into the Administrative Hive required permission. The note also stated that Gammaton would be happy to receive Ferron as his guest in the Administrative Hive and that all he requests of Ferron was a conversation. Gammaton handed this scroll to the Bishop to carry back to its master, and went back inside the Hive to await Lord Ferron's arrival.
Sorry for the short post, but its a something.

Staying in Zone 2, confronting the villain in the bus again

@ERode @Scribe of Thoth

Mari watched as Shun hid behind some rubble, and waited for the other students to vacate the area, noticing curiously the bus driver leaving. When she felt that the area was sufficiently free of heroes, save Shun who seemed to want to stick around if things go south, Mari walked back towards the bus, and called towards the door. "The 'heroes' are gone, just like you asked. Now please leave the bus as requested. Your safety is guaranteed. Or, if you need another hostage...you can take me." Mari kept her eyes locked on the bus to prevent herself from looking in Shun's direction so as not to giveaway his position.
@Karkinos @sassy1085 @manapool1 @Vega

Amber turned to Serendibite and specifically Tourmaline with gratitude. "Thank you, this dumb hologram was about to 'eradicate' me, or something. But what is an MWC? Is this a Diamond Authroity construct, or one of the Rebellion's?"

Amber suddenly shot up straight, and took a defensive stance, facing Tourmaline, Serendibite, and the newly arrived Ruby. "Wait! Are you with the Authority, or the Rebellion? Whatever the case, I mean no harm! I've been wandering for so long, and something drew me to this location." A thought suddenly crossed Amber's mind, "Oh, but before I forget, I have an injured party" Amber pulled out Black Pearl's gem. "Does this building have a recovery chamber?"
@Dealdric
Not allowing Entropy is understandable, since it's basically death under a different name.

Might make an Elder God type deity. One who's like Nyarlethotep, while still conforming to the rules of course.


This may overlap with @Rune_Alchemist who, while having the (mad) god of knowledge, draws a lot from Lovecraftian lore, and has of the 'knowledge man was not meant to know/comprehend lest they go mad' variety.

@ZAVAZggg
There are already three insane gods, two of which are officially insane, and one has yet to admit it.


I think you're being lenient. A majority of the gods, in my opinion, have some sort of neurosis.
