Yes!
So, according to this, Kirito got his revenge when he was only 14.... Mwehehehe- Gah! Hair ball! So, I'm guessing Kirito is finally exiled because of his "crimes", and that's why he resented the Council so much, since he believes he was only dishing out justice?
Sun, 06/30/2013 - 16:36
#154
@Kaijuhunter
So, let me get this straight: Kirito got his revenge when he was 14, and he's been under investigation for 10 years, but wasn't exiled yet (because I said so xD)? I plan for Kirito to get exiled by the end of the story. And yes, he will hate the council because he believed he was dishing out justice to the corrupt, amoral citizens of Isora.
Poor Gwen still doesn't get her lover. :'(
Astraea could use a little more maturity. Gwen looks up to her for guidance, while at the same time, Queen Astraea (likely) feels pressure to live up to the legacy that Gwen left behind. This would lead to some very interesting (if not awkward) interactions between the two, would it not?
Also, could you tell me what you think of my character application for Gwen, and what you think of her picture? :D

BTW great pic Nai-Chan

@Quexi
We could, or we could be realistic and say that their parents were divorced and the one with the children was imprisoned for drunk driving. xD
Edit: actually, it might be best if Gwen's parents are still alive, so we can have a subplot of Kirito finding out that her parents were responsible for the crimes and creating a lot of romantic tension.

Edited the app.
I've edited Gwen's app so that her parents are still alive. I hope that's okay with everyone?
@Kaijuhunter: her parents are guilty of the crimes against Kirito, but neither Gwen nor Kirito know it yet.
Sun, 06/30/2013 - 17:23
#159
o.o
Seems legit. o.o....I hope.....o.o
Edit: NOT TO THE DRUNK DRIVING XD
Editing the Edit: Again, abandonment would mean we would know the parents but they would want nothing to do with us. Freyja eventually took pity on Gwen and Xindao created his own gun and awaited the White Council. And he may or may not have been rich before the White Council, but we'll see....hopefully

The stuff that's going on right now in the story is small-fry. We gotta get a move-on with the plot. I'll give you all the low-down:
*Characters are introduced (check)
*The problem is introduced
*The characters investigate the problem for a while
*Plot twists are unraveled
*Doom, despair, destruction
*Ray of hope
*The threat of the Crystalizer device and its consequences are dealt with.

Twilight is best pony!
I just was wondering, does the Council know/care about the threat of the war between the Triumvirate and the Spiral Order?
Sun, 06/30/2013 - 21:13
#166
@Frostrex
Actually, that's a minor source of conflict within the council - Gwenyvier, Takiza, and Vanaduke care a great deal, but Astraea has been very lazy lately, Xindao was just recently installed (and thus isn't very well-briefed on the situation), and Kirito is preoccupied with revenge. Sir Snarble simply isn't interested, but participates anyways.
Sun, 06/30/2013 - 22:19
#167
@Quexi
Continuing from the story thread...
Actually, monsters are pretty scarce on Isora. The most pressing problem the White Council is facing is the war between the Spiral Order and the Triumvirate. Gwen is planning to propose that the council get involved. However, as she and her friends investigate the situation, they gradually become aware that there is something far more sinister at work than just your average corruption and tyranny.
Enter the "Crystalizer," a device which transforms matter into crystal energy (hence the name). Crystal energy does not occur naturally on Isora, and must therefore be artificially generated. It's a difficult, dangerous, and inefficient process, but the stuff is so much more effective and efficient at powering electronics that it is often worth the trouble. The Crystalizer, however, can do it efficiently and on a truly massive scale. In fact, it is so effective that it can create crystal energy faster than society can consume it.
That energy has to go somewhere.
This, my friends, is our lore-link to Spiral Knights. See if you can figure out where I'm going with this.
Sun, 06/30/2013 - 22:51
#168
Mmmh
Skylark?
Spare energy to the Skylark? Ooooh wait. I don't know if I have it, I'm just brainstorming here....but either the factions on the brink of war are fighting over the Skylark and whom is to travel with it or how they're going to use it...or...or there is a huge Plan B to escape the war. o.o
Sun, 06/30/2013 - 23:11
#169
@Quexi
The Skylark hasn't been built yet. Heck, none of the three nations are even in the space age - they're still stuck in a kind of steampunk era. No, think bigger. Much bigger. The Crystalizer can consume entire stars and planets.
Some more lore is on the way!
The Crystalizer is the culmination of decades of secret collaboration between the angels and the Morai. Development was sped up in recent years due to their desire to annihilate Almire, and it was completed in secret shortly after the 84th Council. The device cannot work autonomously; rather, it dramatically modifies and enhances the teleforce capabilities of its controller. In short, some very lucky fellow gets to have this awesome power all to himself.
And we all know what absolute power does.

Please excuse the long post.
If you wanna skip all my arguments and get straight to the point, head down to the last part of my post. Also, I just want to put all my arguments here because I felt the need to adress your arguments. By your arguments, I mean Kaiju's.
~~~Oh, and Kaiju: In this argument I've thrown in an insult..... Just disregard this argument. I feel that there's no need for it anymore, but then again, you WERE really rude to me.~~~
Ah... the Kaijuhunter. You don't care what I say, right? Then why do you say I get on your nerves right after that? If you didn't care about what I said(they weren't even directed at you), then why would I get on your nerves? Since you don't care about what I say.
Ah, you don't believe I want a compromise? Because you probably haven't analysed my argument enough. If you'd read my arguments again, you'd probably see that my arguments were headed towards a COMPROMISE, unlike your bias arguments which only contain false arguments and rude comments thrown at me.
As a better rebuttal to your rebuttal, I would like to contradict one of your facts about 'Raguel and Gabriel' destroying Sodom and Gomorrah. Genesis 19:24-25 explicitly states that: 'Then the LORD rained down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah--from the LORD out of the heavens. Thus he overthrew those cities and the entire plain, destroying all those living in the cities--and also the vegetation in the land.' Notice that after hearing the warning from the angels that they would destroy the city, Lot told his family members, “The Lord will destroy this city.” Clearly, Lot understood the angels to be acting as agents of God under His authority. Thus, whatever role the angels would have in the coming destruction, the Lord’s judgment and power were ultimately responsible. The principle of delegation means that when one in authority commands an action, he can rightly be given credit for it, even if he has an agent perform the action. In this case, God delegated the announcement of destruction to the angels. The principle holds true because God is the one with the power to enable the action and authority to order it. Therefore, your rebuttal is invalid.
Angels are not gifted with supernatural strength. That is their normal strength. You see, they're actually in the spiritual plane, but they can affect the material plane. That's why they can phase through walls and stuff. They can't be hurt in the material plane. But if you're talking about the godly angels here, then your characters are completely and utterly overpowered. Anyway, if you take away their affinity with the spiritual plane, as I said, they'll just be normal humans with wings. Except humans are more like god, which is why it is only logical that humans should get magical abilities as well.
I'm not saying Gwen would be jealous of my character. I said that Gwen would not like being around him, as she probably has never seen a human with magical abilities. I do know that the Council is a respected council, but I did not say ALL of them would become 'sick, envious creatures simply because a human has powers like their own'. Using hyperbole against someone who constantly studies literature along with many other subjects will simply make you look like an overreacting 12 year old, which you probably are. Oh; and I see you fell into my trap.
'Astraea is stronger than Gwen and Kirito and was born as the Queen of the Valkyries, yet they're not jealous. If Astraea doesn't induce envy in the two Archangels, give me a reason as to why they would envy a puny human whose powers are nowhere in Astraea's league.'
Here you are saying that Astraea, your character, is the most powerful of ALL the angels, meaning that you're explicitly stating that your character is overpowered. Secondly, you say my character is 'puny'. Humans are about the same size as angels, so how would that even make sense? Thirdly, you say that Damian's powers 'are nowhere in Astraea's league'. By saying that, you are effectively saying that my 'overpowered' character is no match for your 'insanely overpowered character'. So why did you get accepted with that insanely overpowered character? :/
~~~
Whatup Thin? :P Read the bottom part of my post.
~~~
Hi Liminori! :)
You seem more reasonable than the others, though. *applause* You should've just made your argument shorter. :P
~~~
Hohoho! Topoyihjasonjaidn- yeah. You gotta shorten your name, bro.
Oohhh. Do I spot a hatred bubbling for me? How nice. :) I just want you to know that... I hate you too. :)
Nawww.... I'm just kidding. :P I don't hate you.
~~~
After some consideration, I've completely redone Damian's app:
Name: ???(It's Damian, but ordinary people won't know his name)
Nickname: The Phantom; The One Winged Angel
Gender: Male
Age: 18
Faction: ???
Species: ???(*hint* most likely angel *hint*)
Appearance:
http://s21.postimg.org/71g0snayv/usuitakumi77_back_in_track_takumi_usui_...
To put it short: Alluring. Also has a blue wing on the right side of his back. Wears a black shirt; top button unfastened. Wears dark blue jeans and sneakers. Normally also wears a dark, hooded cloak that covers all his body. He likes having his hood on.
Arsenal:
Swords he summons that glows eerily dark all the time.
http://www.blade-empire.com/Kit_Rae/Exotath-Sword_of_the_Dark_Elf-Agnemm...
I know there's only one pic of a sword, but he has two of that sword.
Abilities:
He has enhanced physical attributes, as a result of drawing power from the 'Darkforce Dimension', which empowers him with even more physical enhancements. It also grants him manipulation over darkness, allowing for dark shockwaves and dark flames. He also has a state he calls the 'Berserk' state, which grants him even MORE enhanced physical attributes and a better control over darkness. However, the downside to the state is that it will greatly exhaust him and his durability will be decreased by a considerably large amount during the Berserk state.
Personality:
He has a very cold personality, and is hard to anger. He prefers not to argue with individuals, but will do so if he feels the need for it. Due to his drop-dead gorgeous(hyperbole) looks, most girls who see him fall for him at first sight, though he prefers to keep his looks hidden because he thinks that they are a nuisance. He will accept any challenge to a fight, though he will show no mercy to the challenger. He's more of an anti-hero than a hero, but still has a strong sense of justice.
Cool Biography:
A mysterious figure said to have a strange affinity over darkness, his skill over the dual-blades unparalleled. It is well advised to avoid this dangerous entity at all costs if you are not teleforce capable.
Long Biography:
A scientist(or alchemist, if you will) from the secret Morai Super-Soldier Genetics program injected cell samples from the 'Matter X'( its molecule said to be able to allow feats unknown) into the pregnant Grace York and her unborn baby. Grace carried ??? to term, his fetal form merging with the 'X Matter' as he developed. After the baby was born, he was taken away from Grace by scientists.
When he was born, he immediately knew he was different. He walked before many babies could even crawl. He communicated quite well before many babies could even pronounce letters from their mouths. He was given special training by the scientists, and always exceeded their expectations. He was proved to be quite adept with using a sword he could materialize and de-materialize at will, and also at somehow manipulating darkness. But everything changed one day.
Damian, once he was old enough(about 15), found out that he was the scientist's test subject. So, like any caged rat, he retaliated. But with much more force. Many casualties ensued, and by the end of it, only one person was still alive in the facility who was injured badly. That person was Damian.
After that accident happened, the Morai closed down their super-soldier program, as they saw that is was more of a threat than an ally. Damian soon started training to become better at fighting, and has become one of the most highly respected and well paid hitmen of his generation. However, due to rumors spreading because of his uncanny ability to kill people easily, he soon quit his job as a hired assassin.
So to sum it up for you:
Powers-
Manipulation over darkness.
-Berserk state that greatly enhances every physical attribute and dark attribute.
-Enhanced physical attributes because of manipulation over darkness.
Disadvantages-
Loses power quite easily.
Berserk state lasts only for a short while, uses a lot of energy and drastically reduces durability while in state.
Durability is quite low as well, since he doesn't wear any armor.
The darkness he uses can be used like a two edged blade. If he materializes a dark chain and stabs an opponent with it, it will do double the damage it'll normally do but deducted from his HP will be 1/4 of the damage he did to the opponent. More damage at the expense of damage being done to you. Seem like a fair choice?
Let me try to cover all possible questions/critique. Q is what people would ask/say, and A is my answer.
Q:What is his faction?
A:What is the country on Isora that is the most technologically adept? *hint*He's probably in a faction in that country*hint*
Q:He has SO MANY POWERS.
A:Actually, he has only one, but he can do many things with that one power.
Q:He is so overpowered.
A:He has more disadvantages than powers.
Q:He can't be half-angel and half-human. And if he's not, then he can't have powers.
A:Even if he's not, he has his powers from a scientific experiment. If he's half-angel, half-human, that would be another reason as to why he was able to get his powers.
Q:His backstory is cliche.
A:He never got to see his parents. He almost died trying to escape the facility which he was trapped in, which was his only home. Powers of mass destruction were forced into his hands without his consent. I don't think this is cliche at all.
Q:His skill is what makes him overpowered.
A:And do others not have amazing skills as well?
I think this means that he is now not overpowered. :p Also, cool pic of Gwen, Thin! :) So how does this voting thing work? Do I just say:
VOTE:Thinslayer
Is that how it works? :P
Oh; and a quick note to all you peeps out there who don't like me. Even if I may(at times) be rude, I don't explicitly state that I don't like you. In fact, I don't hate anyone in this RP Thread. Even if you're rude to me, I try my best to keep calm and reply in an orderly manner. So instead of blurting out to everyone that you hate me and stuff, just keep it to yourself. If there's something wrong with my character, instead of 'exploding like a volcano', try giving constructive criticism about it. Try and do it in a polite way, and not try your best to win an argument you'll start. In fact, I actually think Liminori was the only person who gave me criticism that was straight to the point.(Well, not exactly, but at the end of the argument he stated the thesis of his criticism) So once again, I'm not hating on anyone(but I sure see some people hating on me. :P), but I feel there needs to be an end to this hate(grudge?) in this thread. :P And even if, after this, some of you guys still hate me, I have only one reply.

@Ultra my post is full of typos, and you are a flying elephant
@Ultra, hmm i think you need to change a few things @A@ if you read all that i'll give you a cookie c:!
1. hmmm well its a nice idea for the angel laboratory thing ^^ -and hear comes the "but...."((----but : idk, i think Thin meant to not have half angel half humans in the RP :0 not sure though :P))
2. well the disadvantages you stated could actually cause fighting annoying, imagin that: starts fighting -> 1 minute later he is exhausted and can't fight anymore but because he is so powerful during that time he killed the enemy in time, making the fights way too short and easy :0 i mean a fight must be interesting otherwise you might as well not have a villain in the first place :P well if i were you, intead of putting a lot of disadvantages to compensate for his great powers, try taking away disadvantages and making him a tincy wincy less powerful, such as: eliminating the teleportation power and make it caused by an advanced technology (only so far a prototype that causes the disadvantages you stated before) that he got from his country's faction? like a prototype teleportation device fueled by crystal energy ???
-^^ also physical enhancements: i do not think it's needed as he already knows how to swing a sword well AND has a power up at one point, you can just say he works out a lot and that's it, which would make sense as he needs endurance for his powers, maybe it could help his exhaustion power limit like that... and the flame power and darkness powers seems legit to me, though for its disadvantages i would rather put something like the "curse" in the grand faust on SK (it is am SK based RP after all :3) (as it IS a very powerful ablilty and remember he does have a sword to back it off ~)
3. on another note, sorry, but yes, his skills DOES make him overpowered :/ i mean if your debate is comparing to other chracters, here: my character is basically only human strength and skill gained from countless years of training, every day- and he doesnt know how to swing a sword well XD now, if you compare that to your character:~~~ he has great skills, great inteligence, dark powers~is physically very buff~ and knows how to swing his sword fabulously (which i dont mind XD) he's like an (inteligent handsome) goku with a sword, but with a very short time limit (because, as we all know goku doenst have any limits muahahaa! XD)
-you would have to choose between keeping: skill, inteligence, or physical attribute~ or even just eliminate one of them maybe is enough :/ but the three is just a bit too much (when i say skill i don't mean the sword skill, but the being fast, stealthy, typical good fighting skill which i suppose is what you meant..:0)
4.last but not least XD if you want to make him powerful (as he is a must be powerful charcater, i mean a laboratory 0.0 those people come out really powerful darn!) if you want to make him powerful (i repeat) i advise you, (for plot's and interest's sake) that you slowly make him power up, because in all action stories, every strong-to-be character need to go through a power up! XD so yeah, if there was a power up i would go from a certain ability to fight to the power up of the current abilities you stated :3) its just an advice though^^
haha long posts are long~ the are probably other things to note but i figure wing knows best for the details @A@
the charcater is interesting though! and it would be nice having an genius/inteligent character around :P
Oh! and here's the cookie: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/9a/Choco_chip_cookie.jpg

Before I answer your app...
Let's clarify some of the lore first. I noted that you never use my teleforce stuff, Ultima, which kinda bothers me. Teleforce is, at its simplest, any force that violates Newton's First Law. Telekinesis, for instance, is the remote causation of motion via unequal and indirectly applied force. It operates by some weird metaphysical concepts, so it's impossible to explain, but easy to use for those genetically born with aptitude for it.
If we translate all your...Darkforce voodoo into teleforce, Damian would have the following traits:
The undefined "enhanced physical attributes" you mentioned are granted by telekinesis:
*telekinesis from the wrists (enhanced punching & slicing, works like powered gloves)
*telekinesis from the ankles (enhanced running, jumping & kicking, works like spring boots)
*teleportation
--of self
--of swords
Then, if we make his beserker mode more realistic, he would be able to ignore all pain and injury for the duration of the beserk insanity.
There is nothing overpowered in these traits, so you don't really need to give him any drawbacks. :)

@Ultima
Are you honestly trying to argue and insult multiple people? Kaiju just said you started some arguments, and you return by calling kaiju a twelve year old who is overreacting. You are doing nothing but digging a hole for your grave in this RP community. You seem like a troll to me.
Mon, 07/01/2013 - 10:35
#182
@Ultimaknightz
Also, what Nai-Chan said. He's right - I'd prefer that you stuck to the rules and made Damian either human or angel. There's nothing wrong with having a naturally strong human character, so you don't lose a whole lot (maybe teleportation) if you make him human. Also consider that maybe you should build up your char's abilities over time, like Gwenyvier. There is no need to start out all-powerful, especially since the strongest foes don't show up until much later.
Frostrex made a good point - we have way too many barely-adult characters. Since Damian's age is not a plot point, could you make him older? Especially if you choose to keep him powerful, it would make more sense for him to be, say, in his mid-thirties.
One thing you should consider is that providing new or unique explanations for special powers is making your character seem more powerful than he actually is. He's a good deal weaker than Astraea, but I couldn't tell just by looking at the app. Nai-Chan thought it was overpowered, which is quite telling.
I appreciate that you re-made your character but...please, follow the rules outlined in the OP. It'll make it much easier for me to accept your characters.

Any problems?
OKAY I'M DONE WITH ROOFING THE HOUSE! (or at least as far as I know, I might have some cleaning to do but I am far more open now.) HERE HAVE A CHARACTER APP!
Name: Dmatter (Dmat as a nickname)
Gender: Male
Age: 16
Faction: Spiral order (unless you feel something fits better)
Species: Human
Appearance: I don't have pictures so... tall, brownish hair, friendly face.
Arsenal: magic hood, cobalt armor, defender, and a toxic vaporizer with a cryotech alchemer.
Abilities: Knows the basics of medicine (don't expect him to heal a broken bone or poison from nothing, but he'll be fine with minor illness or injuries) and is good at befriending people.
Personality: General nice guy/support unit. Has general knowledge on most things. Mature for his age. He much prefers to help others than to fight himself, and only really kills when he has to.
Biography: He's a nice young man who joined the spiral order because he feels everyone should be treated fairly. He's not a major fighter, but he dedicated his life to helping others who need help. The rest will be revealed in story (if there is a possible time to do so).
There you have it. Do you think he's UP/OP, doesn't fit with the story, or do you have any suggested changes? And is it to late to join?
Mon, 07/01/2013 - 11:26
#184
@Dmatter
It's not too late to join. :)
I have only one change to suggest: replace his Honor Guard with a Defender. I'd like to reserve the Honor gear as special stuff. Otherwise, I like the character quite a bit. It's about time somebody joined the venerable Spiral Order!
In fact, I'll put him in Euclid's squad. ;)

@Dmatter
Awesome, your character is now officially accepted!
@Archemiday-Thebard: your posts have been pretty short lately. Your character is mostly re-acting, and rarely acting on his own accord. Give him some kind of drive to do something. Do something to move the plot forward. It doesn't have to be the overarching story plot; it could just be your own. Your char lost his memories; how is he going to get them back? Will he enlist help? Will it just spontaneously "happen" on occasion? Maybe he should look for "triggers" that will restore his memory. The bow would have made an excellent such "trigger." But the memories themselves should also have value. Think of the "Jason Bourne" series, which told the story of a man who had lost his memories, but had expert combat skills, and soon discovered that everyone was out to get him. It turns out that he was actually a government spy! His memories were valuable, and recovering them was a momentous occasion, both for the character and for the audience.
Do something like that for Archemiday.
@Kaijuhunter: I'm contemplating having Gwen go over and talk to Kirito, but if you don't post a reply soon enough, you'll be hogging my character and preventing me from actively moving the story. Can I get you to post more often? At least once per day would help tremendously, but twice per day (or more) would be about optimal.

I might be able to fit in one or two medium (mostly short) posts a day, so I'll try that. Don't worry; I'll post a reply as soon as I can.
@Dmatter: well... Ikaros' father was a human... So... How about Dmatter x Astraea? :3

Well, our characters would have to meet first. But maybe.

I know >_< I'm limited to my phone sometimes. I was planning on using the bow to trigger a memory, but it will trigger when he uses it, as he was distracted by the two people who are collided into each other to look at it.

Retiring
Due to time and other family concerns, I will be unable to go on with RtCO.
Sir Snarble is now open for taking.

Blarg.
I may have introduced my character, but I still have to figure out how to Have Dagoon go back in time. . . I KNOW!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The elevator malfunction was to be expected, as the clockworks were very random, but Firestorm Citadel? And the map wasn't working.
"Welp, -10 luck on random areas. . ."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Vanaduke!? VANADUKE, WH- huh? What's. . . that?" Dagoon slowly walked closer, and closer. . . and closer to the. . thing. and then walked through it.
For a long time, Dagoon couldn't feel or see anything, and felt as if she couldn't breath.
When it did end, she felt. . . younger, although she clearly wasn't. Searching the surroundings. . . she was on the surface. And it clearly didn't look like Cradle from observation.

Looks like I'll have to put off Gwen talking to Kirito for now. I may have her do so shortly before the council meets. Is that okay?
@Liminori: remember to post in the story thread to make it official. ;)

Errrr, sure?
I guess that's okay... Sure.

@Kaijuhunter
Oh, and one more thing - what are your plans for Astraea? I'd been envisioning her as a kind of mentor for Gwen, but that's not panning out. I'm thinking that she should try to get to the bottom of the war between the Spiral Order and the Triumvirate, and when Gwen informs her of the treachery of her underlings, to the bottom of that, too.

@Thin
Which is the most technologically advanced country on Isora as of the present?
And I still think Damian should retain his age. He's still not THAT powerful. I mean, he could easily learn more powerful stuff when he grows older(I'll remove the teleportation one and have him learn it secretly in the RP). That would also be a reason as to why he is not more powerful than Astraea. He's also quite old as a teen. He's technically a young adult, you know. Also, there are a lot of people younger than him in this RP. So yeah.

Well, it's an introduction, so it wouldn't quite count as story.
but fine.

@Ultimaknightz
The level of technological advancement is as follows:
*Almire
*Moras
*Valhalla
Scientific endeavors of the more sinister sort tend to be done by the Morai, though. Almire is not very advanced in the science of genetic manipulation, so if you're looking for a science lab for Damian to come from, it's more plausible if he came from a Morai one.
The Valhallans kinda suck at technological development. :/

I wanted Astraea to start as an immature, brash girl, then slowly accept her responsibility as Uranus Queen and mature. She is loyal and trusting, so I'd like for her to begin investigating both the war and her minions' (for lack of a more polite term) treachery.

@Kaijuhunter
I like that plot path. I think the trigger that should start her investigation is the incident at First Baptist Church.

Yes! Kaijuhunter agrees!
Sure, that sounds reasonable. It's also convenient for both of us. Well, as I wait for someone to post something I can reply to, have some Astraea and Gwen art
Yeah, I too would rather her family didn't die, but it helps Kirito's lore, so I'll tolerate it.
