I feel like Myriad Reality is somehow the secret glue holding this entire site together

People like to nudge aside the fact that there's a level of commitment to hosting, and joining an RP. The majority of players don't have it in either case, regardless of how interesting an idea is.

I've been gone so long that I forgot what the status bar was like. It's like coming back to an old apartment, except it's not an apartment anymore, it's just two walls and a lot of heroine addicts.

X

Eldritch IV - The Back Lines, Observing the chaos




X turned his head away from Corban as he struggled to contain the energy building in his right arm. What in the world was that sound? Who was speaking? X dedicated a great deal of his processing power towards keeping his buster from imploding, but it shouldn't have affected his sensors! Ghosts? Ghosts! It had to be ghosts, or had the nightmare returned to haunt him again? No, he'd eliminated that threat years ago, there was no chance for their return. "Who said that?" X called out, slowly turning his head towards Corban. There he was, egging him on to fire his weapon. For a second, he considered it, as there were many key points in the battle to influence with his devastating energy cannon. X could let it all out, and eradicate a considerable chunk of the enemy forces, or pin down a key in their offense. Devastating a portion of the Chaos base's defenses was sound enough, and wouldn't cause any unnecessary casualties. Aiming his weapon anywhere else on the battlefield however...

"Augh!" X croaked, losing all control over his buster's energy. In a split second, its target had been locked in, and within a few moments, a massive rotating wave of blue energy zoomed across the battlefield towards the base's main defenses. It was easily several yards in diameter, and possessed enough crushing power to eradicate a fair portion of their defensive cannons. Hopefully there was nobody to deflect or deter his charge shot from crushing its target. Hell, who was X kidding? That much energy? Surely it would hit home, and nobody could hope to stop it.

The recoil sent X backwards, the flats of his large feet skidding across dirt and stone until he was standing several yards away from the edge of the vantage point he'd chosen to begin charging at in the first place. The concussive wave may have affected his observers as well, who knew, but one thing was certain. X was hopeful that his shot would influence the battle.

For a moment he stood frozen there, glaring at the charged shot as it flew towards it target. X drew his gaze towards the buster on his arm, and wondered for a moment exactly how much good he could have done at that battle. He couldn't help but hold back, regardless of what he'd told himself after Zero was killed all those years ago. His green eyes flickered, dead set on the deep blue coating that covered his whole body. It took a moment for him to snap out of his melancholy daze, and address Corban Directly.

"Where did you come from?! I was saving that shot for an emergency!" X wailed, frustrated over Corban's interference.
@Archmage MC I dunno, I just don't like the idea of death, the ultimate decider of your character's fate, being temporary. Even the Dragon balls had a "Two chances, dorks" rule, and THAT was annoying to deal with.

OH ARE THEY DEAD? NOPE, GUESS NOT.

Just kind of makes death somewhat pointless, in the long run. If your character dies, it should have some kind of impact one somebody or something, instead of just being a gimmick that can be reset on a whim.

I know people don't like dying, but um... Suck it up? This RP seems pretty combat-centric, and if death means nothing, then why even go around trying to kill people? What if Nyx finally died, and BOOM suddenly she gets revived? It's not like Shinnok's ability, which can be circumvented by just breaking his talisman, it's just like have a super-powerful red-mage sitting around at the ready to reverse any mistakes that anyone makes.

It just rubs me the wrong way.
@Sessamaru I appreciate the honesty. A lot of the time people assume I won't understand reasoning like 'I don't have the energy' or 'I'm too tired' because APPARENTLY I'M A FUCKING TYRANT?

Well I mean who's to say I'm not, there have been really good cases to support that theory, but THAT'S NOT THE POINT-

If you're feelin' down or tired or whatever, it's fine. Just pop in and let us know you're still alive every now and again.
@Archmage MC Right-o Mate
<Snipped quote by Absolis>

MC's just going to Magicka rez Roy. lol


I've actually been a little concerned with MC's ability to Rez people without drawback, constantly. Doesn't that kind insinuate that Death is a slap on the wrist?
@Blue Demon Good to hear. I'll have a post up later today, but I want to give Unfortunately a chance to progress our other 1x1 sequence, as well as anyone else who wishes to speak in the Diver's crew.

Regardless, I'm posting this evening.
@User@Jensoman

It'd look like most of the people who've joined have a fairly slow post speed. Now I'm a little frustrated since things haven't gone anywhere for a couple days, but them's the breaks, I suppose.

I'm going to move the Diver's paradise group ahead as soon as I can, as soon as I wrap up my convos with @blue demon and @unfortunately.

These periodic chances to interact outside of combat will appear often, but if no-one chooses to take advantage, then it's their loss. If you're more interested in the combat portion of this RP, be aware that combat makes up a small chunk of where this story's going. There will be a lot of it sporadically between plot points, but if people sloth-around between action sequences, I'm afraid we're going to get no-where fast.
I tend to take combat pretty seriously, and respect the laws of physics to a certain degree. In my current character's case, destroying energy/matter is the only leniency to this rule, and I rationalize it fairly well, I'd say.

The only time I don't take it seriously is when it's not a centralizing aspect of the RP. xP
Thats what I am saying, no huge battle ship. Just a ship that carries a good ammount of cargo and enough guns for defense


In that case you're good to go. But since you have no relation to the rest of the characters atm, I'll allow you to drop in later on in no-mans-land
