Well then!

Before I return to the depressing, yet amazing world of Doctor Who, I came to announce that your predictions of who Quexi is are probably correct.

Doctor Who is too addicting. I think there's no hope of escape. ;-;
Sincerely,
Quexi

@Everyone

Sorry for offending you guys, if I have offended any of you. This goes to Quexi and Thinslayer the most. I just, most of the time, get too sarcastic in debates, and throw insults at my opponents unknowingly. Sorry. Quexi, you might find some insults in my '@Quexi' part of the post for you, so please disregard that part if you don't like serious arguments. ;) So let's just get on with the RP, because I'm getting tired of all this arguing. :P So since Thinslayer cleared all this up, let's all stop arguing on this matter, and go to the fun stuff. That's RPing. :P I really don't want to argue anymore. Believe me when I say this. :(

@Quexi
DISCLAIMER:
This part of my post may lead to more arguments. I hope it doesn't, though. I just don't like leaving arguments without answering back to their argument, or you may get too cocky and might say that I wouldn't be able to answer your argument anyway, which I obviously don't want. :P Just disregard this part of the post if you don't like arguments that are quite insulting. :P Sorry that I have this paranoid fear, but it has happened to me before, many times. I just want to prevent it from happening again. ;)
~~~
You didn't remark my irony. You stated that I myself was ironic. I took that as an insult, and seeing as to how you can barely construct a sentence with proper reasoning, I can see that you would not think that was insulting.

Your 'reasons' were not reasons at all. If they were, they would have reasons and/or evidence behind them. However, your 'reasons' had no reasoning whatsoever behind them, and by only throwing flawed arguments at me without proper reasoning makes me believe that you are not a very good debater, and that you try and trick your opponent into looking for things that aren't there. I call them 'statements' because even if they somehow were 'reasons', they were stated by you, meaning that not only am I right about this, but you tried to change the topic and try and correct my use of vocabulary, though you yourself make silly grammatical mistakes. You're a hypocrite.

I didn't say that you set forth facts.

Also, what possibility is there for something to come into existence if you have no evidence that it might even exist? The possibility for something to exist without any evidence whatsoever that it is even in reality is ludicrous. Even so, you said 'probably'. Probably means:

'almost certainly; as far as one knows or can tell' as defined by the Oxford English Dictionary. If you are almost certain that it exists, why is it that you have no evidence to back up your statement? With no evidence, you have no proof that it MIGHT even exist. If you have no proof that it MIGHT even exist, then how can you be almost certain that it exists, when you have no reason nor evidence to support your statement that it even exists?
~~~
So you didn't read that part of my post, right? Good. It's probably for the best.

@Thin
Yayyyyyy Gwen is now omnipotent, and literally has control over the universe. She can travel at the speed of light, manipulate gravity, and even make planets spontaneously combust and disintegrate into thin air! I'm so happy you made this decision, Thinslayer. She even can teleport via subspace, even though the subspace can only be used for communication, and the messages there can only travel a bit faster than the speed of light! So impressive! Wow! She can even make everything in the universe stop moving! She can even manipulate time! She is even more powerful than the source of which she gains her power, which makes no sense whatsoever but is still pretty cool! YAAAAYYYYY

Nawww... I'm just kidding. Sorry for being really sarcastic and offensive to you, though. Just try not to make Gwen too superior to our characters, okay?(P.S: She already is, though. ;P Still, Gwen's pretty cool. Do you get it? She's pretty, cool, and pretty cool. Heh. :P)

@Ultimaknightz

Apology accepted, Admiral. ;)

Gwen is technically just a teleforce-capable human being whose mind and body have been slaved to the Core. Disconnected from the Core, she is about as powerful as Athena currently is. But since she is slaved to the Core, she can summon its energies at a whim, rendering her essentially omnipotent for the purposes of the RP. There are limits to her abilities, since the Core's energy production & storage aren't limitless, but she will never be forced to reach those limits during the course of this RP.

To put it in perspective: destroying and drawing entire worlds to the Core, creating an impenetrable seal & shell, and fueling a supermassive FTL-capable starship (the Skylark) are all roughly at the limit of her powers.

So yeah, she's far superior to everyone's characters, but curiously, she isn't exerting that superiority, and she is taking a ridiculously long time to flip a few switches. Did anyone notice that trouble always follows whenever she disappears?

Anyway, I think she shouldn't be able to create an IMPENETRABLE shield. I mean, that's completely god-tier. It should be near impenetrable, but not impenetrable. :P

Also, I can't wait until Nathaniel shows Gwen his awesome powers. :D

@Ultimaknightz

Well, I suppose the Core could be broken if you hit it with a gram of antimatter, but that would blow up the galaxy in the process. It's better to unlock the Core instead.

Gwen is a mod-only plot-critical character. If you intend to compete with her, don't. Otherwise, I'm interested to see what powers Nathaniel has in store. Remember to keep them in line with the power progression of the other characters. ;)

@Ultimaknightz

Attitudes, emotions, and expressions are important elements to a story; assigning them to a character without the author's permission is thus considered power playing.

Whether Gwen was astonished by Nathaniel's teleporting should be left up to me. Her demeanor and knowledge both influence her reaction to the event. I could see her raising an eyebrow at the teleportation, but astonishment is inappropriate, since she has (somehow) observed Nathaniel's abilities for a while now. Also, since it is something that she herself does regularly, she should be even less surprised.

Also, astonishment is an indicator that she sees him as a challenger, rival, equal, or superior in some respect. Nathaniel is inferior to Gwen in every respect (except, perhaps, character), so she shouldn't be very astonished at any of his abilities. Other characters may be astonished, like Winter in particular, but certainly not Gwen.

To make her register astonishment is not a small power play. Please edit it, and avoid power playing body language in the future.

My opinion. Also, I'll try to post soon.

@Ultimaknights that would still look like she was astonished, when she probably was mildly intrigued or something close to that. you probably should just edit your post, it won't take that long. Just change it to something along the lines of "Gwen appeared to have little to no reaction to this" and I feel that would be slightly more acceptable (though we should ask if this is okay before doing it.), or even better would just to not mention Gwen's reaction entirely. Let's just not get in an argument, K? EDIT: oh, and you forgot "Chromo's and Quexi's back-stories" in the "Web of Mysteries" Thin. Just saying.

@Quexi

Ah, actually you took that quote from Seatus' other RP idea, which we did not use. Necrons in this story are as quoted (by Seatus) below.

"It [The Virus/Mutation] has also birthed a new race from the blood of an extinct ancient race, dubbed the Necron. They are outcasts for their strange abilities with metal, some magnetizing it, some reshaping it, and others becoming it."

That doesn't negate anything about your character's backstory to my knowledge however.
~
On another note, I guess the Commander is one of the "shapers", while Quexi is on who "becomes" the metal.

I honestly don't understand how anything about a Necron (their appearance, abilities, etc.) could turn into a Valkyrie?

As for who's ancient, Cradle was actually built, so any life forms are from elsewhere, no? Aside from the Valkyries, the others you mentioned could easily be younger than the Necrons. Not to mention our Necrons have technically been "rebirthed" through the virus.

Well, I guess the secret's out. Quexi is a Necron/Valkyrie in need of his wings. While we're at it, his wings are the source of his power...

Or maybe a Valkyrie taught by Necrons to be a Necron, eh...?

@Thin: Poem time! :D

Poem mainly focusing on Nathaniel, but what is to come as well. So we agreed on Nathaniel using his powers to their full extent and completely destroying the enemy in the end but disintegrating into thin air less than half a minute after, right? If that's the case, I have a poem ready. Oh; and Gwen probably needs to be the Master and betray us all in the end, or be of a higher rank than the Master in the swarm in the end, or this poem'll make no sense. :P
~~~
Adolescent boy of balanced force;
Your eloquence has since become very coarse;
For you are the only wielder of stability;
You have yet to learn of true humility;

Beware the people you make friends with at first sight;
Remember that even the most humble people still bite;
Along the way you will meet an angel of light;
Who will put you into a terrible plight;

So I say, beware the enemy who wears the hero's mask;
For your party stays in her trap like flies in a flask;
She may seem like a harbinger of justice at first;
But I tell you this, she was always a cursed;

As the Arbiter of Stability your destiny is set;
To sacrifice yourself destroying a lethal threat;
You may want to try and forget;
But I tell you, this will be your hardest mission yet.
~~~
Some stuff clarifying stuff about the poem:
The 'balanced force' and 'stability' in the poem basically means his powers of light and darkness, or to be more precise, Holy Light and Chaos. The people invovled in the phrase 'beware the people you make friends with at first sight' are Gwen, the azure knight and any other infiltrators. The 'angel of light' is Gwen, or should I say, 'lady of light'. The 'terrible plight' is when Gwen decides to betray us all(if she even betrays us all, though Thinslayer is highly implying that she is the Master). Gwen is the enemy who wears the 'hero's mask', and our party is under the assumption that she's not a villain. She seems like a really awesome hero at first, but she's one of the 'cursed', which are basically people who are extremely evil. The 'arbiter of stability' is Nathaniel, and his destiny is to sacrifice himself by activating the full extent of his powers, thus being able to easily destroy the 'unstoppable' enemy in the end, but at the cost of his life very shortly afterwards. Nathaniel will try(or maybe, has tried?)to forget this destiny, and this is his 'hardest mission yet' because he has to sacrifice himself for the good of the world, not because he's forced to, because it all comes down to his decision. That's when he learns of true humility. :)
~~~
Oh; and I might not be able to post very often. I've got a lot of project deadlines and tests coming up, so I don't really have that much time to RP. I'll try my best to be active, though. :)

Multiple sacrifices

Several characters will have to make sacrifices in order to defeat the Master, who is too powerful to be beaten by mere force alone. I haven't got it all figured out yet, but according to the current plan, two characters shall be sacrificed. Nathaniel is an excellent candidate. The second slot is reserved for another character, but that shall remain secret until further notice.

One thing that I might as well point out. . .

In RtC, Thrynn did speak. Seeing your post from earlier, I'll just make things easier by making it so Thrynn only speaks when needed.
Seeing as "He" is uhh. . . Currently? a minor character, I can overlook quite a few powerplays.
