Overseer Council rules:

- No fighting between members of the Overseer Council or their agents. Any member of the Council who attempts to make a grab for power will be met with the full force of the Children of Light.

- No fighting in Main Street, or any of the more populated areas. Technically speaking, explosive fights are prohibited everywhere, but outside of the central areas it's hardly ever enforced.

- No interfering with the Overseers. This is subject to immediate death.

- No mimes.

- No rituals of Class IV or higher, as these usually lead to either the Apocalypse or at least localized destruction. And, of course, such things are bad for business.

On the whole, there is relatively little 'Order' in Aegis. The semblance of Order is kept in Main Street and the Central Markets, because it's good for business. But the farther you get from the middle the less ordered it becomes. Imagine what would happen if the government were replaced with the Mafia. Or rather, several Mafia families in an uncomfortable stalemate, in a council that chooses who gets screwed over the most.

HCL 2: Twisted tinkers' triumph

[Greetings]

Slowly, the ancient computerized machinery of Ygdrassil came back to life, screens flickering on and off throughout the planet-sized structure. It had taken quite a lot of damage. Salvage crews, animals, asteroid impacts, and many other natural disasters had taken their toll even on the heavily armoured War Machine.

[Excuse me, but I don't appear to be running at full capacity. My memory is incomplete..... How may I help you?]

HCL 2: Twisted tinkers' triumph

A massive burst of energy, tearing through space like a natural disaster, a supernova concentrated into a single attack, all-or-nothing. A wave of green force, filled with not simply Drac's power, but the power of the realm he represented. The Forsaken, those who could not find peace in death, and instead continued to serve in his everlasting kingdom. Those who were loyal to him even from beyond the grave, those who would die for him again and again. The loyalty of thousands, and the love of a few. The very planet shuddered and fell apart, as the Deamon turned to face this blow, psychically screaming.

Everything was gone. The planet, the portal.... everything had been utterly annihilated. Drac hung there, motionless, his power exhausted, his body torn to pieces, on the threshold of death. His Seals had been restored, had they not been he would have burnt up on the spot. Giant rings of rubble surrounded him, still orbiting the remnants from the great fluctuation of space.

And there, floating amongst the rubble, was a sight most unseemly.

The proud figure of the Daemon, torn to pieces. The right half of it's body had been completely destroyed, pieces floating around, already beginning to return to the original host. It had not been enough. Not to kill the Daemon. There it was, powers already rallying to it's side, blazing blades forming from it's fingers, eyes burning with inhuman hatred. There had never been a chance, not really. The Daemon could not be killed, they could not be destroyed.

Of course, there was always a way, and even as Teo fiddled around with the Tetris, he found the Engine Block. If the Daemon's physical form could be completely destroyed, he could use the Daemon as fuel, burning it's very essence out of existence. He wouldn't destroy the Daemon, he would use it up.

Mithias looked up, and before him stood that figure, blazing with raging energy. And realization would dawn on him. Teo was incapacitated, Drac was on the brink of death, and his allies were cut off. Drac had beaten it down, Teo might be able to finish it off. But in order to do this, he would need to be the one to defeat it. His failure to do so would lead to the deaths not only of Drac and Teo, but most likely of most of this universe.

No pressure, of course.

@ShadowVentus

Mia shrugged. "Like I care what his problems were. I just want you to meet my new work!" Smiling, Mia flicked her wrist, as the ground seemed to give away under Ven. Not a trapdoor, as such, but ratherthe constant capability of this building to rebuild itself at Mia's merest whims. He was sent spinning and sliding down a long tunnel, no light anywhere, no warning when it suddenly turned, slamming him into the side of the tube.

Eventually, Ven emerged from the tube, dumped into a seemingly empty room. Bright white lights shone downwards from the ceiling into this round chamber, lined with reinforced walls. Some kind of cell, and yet several large windows had been built into the sides, far up from the ground of course. And no doubt it was reinforced. The now familiar heavy metallic grinding could be heard, shaking the room and the air. This room wasn't moving, but undoubtedly the pipe by which he had entered would no longer lead where he hoped it would lead - if it lead anywhere at all.

In the middle of the room lay what appeared to be Micheal, drenched in some mysterious green liquid, with small wounds on his arms and chest where the pipes had punctured his flesh. And yet, something different could be felt about this figure, aside from his lack of clothing or equipment. Something.... off.

The Metahuman Revolution

"I'm relieved to see you're with us on this. Your help will most certainly be required if we're to maintain the peace generated by Helios." Smiling slightly under his suit, 57 had one of his rare emotional moments. The idea of killing his ally had been disturbing, and yet he had known that if Tyler had turned against Helios, it would be his job to prevent Tyler from doing any damage. And the most efficient way to do so, undoubtedly, would be to kill him.

But, such were the duties of one who would keep the peace.

The speakers on the drones throughout the facility switched on, as 57 transmitted his voice through the drones. [This facility is now owned by the Helios corporation, and will be subject to it's laws. All terrorists are to be captured, and given a jail sentence as appropriate for the crimes committed. For adults, this indicates a 20 year jail sentence. Any members who refuse this offer of amnesty will be hunted down and killed, for the sake of the peace. Gather at the main entrance, unarmed, and you will not be harmed.]

"I cannot guarantee that they will listen, but this is the best I can do. Now, I believe I saw a mage around here somewhere who made a rather convincing attempt on my life. Shall we question him? He might point us to the alternative exits."

Potentially....

The same as if it were a fight with any other character, except that I count as the other controller. Usually, I will make statements as to what happens, but if you disagree you can tell me in the OOC, and argue your case.

@thewizardguy I'm just asking this but um do you even created a character ? Because I don't see one. XD

@Chaos Wolf

Nope. I don't play a character, I play EVERYTHING.

To me, the concept of a GM who plays a character is a bit perplexing, as it contradicts my personal concept of what a GM does. I am not a player, and my choices aren't supposed to run this story. To interject my own character into the group would limit my capability to be objective, as well as potentially taking agency away from the players.

Instead, I run all other characters. For all intents and purposes, the universe is my character.

@akje
First off, Kilo Point is simply a large outpost, not the SOLDIER HQ.

Kami no Kage and his men are appearing at the airport, and plan on taking down Void, as well as the SOLDIER agents posted there.

The Purge is funded by a network of the rich and intensely religious. The vatican, as well as a myriad of individuals. However, it doesn't quite match SOLDIER in terms of resources - they have plenty of manpower due to their 'recruitment' program, but they have far less access to things like heavy armour and weaponry. They do have a science advantage, due to a character Grey has not created yet, and a character I have not created yet >.>

Also, the first IC post is up now.
