BLARGH!
I know this is off topic, and should be on your FF, Thin, But I'd like to say this on a more. . . Active. . . Area.
As for what battle sprites can be used for. . . Well, What they generally do. It could be a Warlord's assisstant, Checking information and telling the warlord, Or Maybe following one of the main characters. It'd have to be a- Ooh look, A broken battle sprite! Let's try to fix it in our spare time!

@Sandwich-Potato
Thanks for taking an interest in her!
1. If I recall my own lore correctly, that was about 3-5 years ago.
2. He broke her all right, but not in the same way he broke Alec. He tricked her into taking his drugs, then used the threat of withdrawl to make her do his bidding. That'll break anybody real quick.
3. No. Desna intentionally avoided talking about it.
4. Nope. xP
5. Just the drugs. It was nothing spectacular.
6. Claire used to be a kind, intelligent, powerful woman. As you've likely read for yourself, she's no longer any of those things. That Claire is "dead" to her now.
Also, where is Alec at the moment? Is he near Haven?

@Thin
Damn, I could have sworn Claire was a tuber.
Alec is currently with Herston and Eve in Operator's office (I think it's his office). You said in a previous post that is was pretty darn far (something about Desna flying through quadrant and such). Herston (Alec STILL doesn't know he's called that, maybe it could be a running gag :P) teleported them there after The Swarm attacked Alec's Incredible Frozen Messaging System (v3.0)!
Also:
1. Would Desna still recall Alec, from the Perma-Frostifur trap thing? It was about a year or two ago. Besides, Alec DID claim the entire damn everfrost tower Maulos made. She probably would recall him, if only because of the "greedy little sneak" thing.
2. Is it alright if in Alec's torture, Serris takes real people and uses their images in his simulations? If yes, then maybe Serris could have put Claire in, causing Alec to be rather distrustful of her.
3. There actually IS NO 3! It's just here to make the list look longer and cooler.
4. Is there anyone specifically playing Cpt. Ozlo & Co. ?
5. Is Lucario also playing Seerus the Warmaster? He kinda disappeared after appearing for a post or three.
6. How often does Claire need to take Warp Dust?
7. If Warp Dust is a drug AND a dip (Official description in-game), does that mean anyone who samples it with some chips becomes addicted? o.O
8. Can we just randomly introduce our Battle Sprites?
9. Are you SURE Claire isn't a potato?
10. Uhm...lemme think about this one.
11. I noticed a bunch of character sheets accepted that don't post. What happened to them?
10 Again: What happened to Operator's voice recording thingy he made as Desna shot him in the everything?

@Trol
Wasn't the Justifier place in Haven? I think that you've confused Deadman and the Shadowguard. :P

#507
@Sandwich
I only put Seerus there because it would make sense if he was the brother of Seeris and his hammer is the only thing that can break back into the games. I assume the games barrier has better armor now that can only be destroyed by his hammer. Also, I was never controlling Seerus, I just happened to bump into him.
Sun, 10/06/2013 - 15:23
#508
Uhm Lucario
Seerus is a Gremlin. Serris is a human. They can't be brothers...

@Hex
I think we're in different time zones. I'm EST, and it's the weekends, suckas!
On another note: I'm taking an exam soon, and I finished a practice one today, so I'm relaxing. ^.^
EDIT: I am, as of right now, officially confused about the whereabouts of Nitscu, Claire, Daud, and Troloe. I kind of thought the Nitscu was taken back to Haven to recuperate, but apparently, the building he was in is now a battlefield. Or is it? So confused... >.>
Sun, 10/06/2013 - 19:26
#511
@S-P
No, it just seems that you have a LOT of free time; you always seem to be posting.
And Nitscu is in the Justifier headquarters along with Daud, who is being attacked by Claire, and as usual, Antasma and Lucario are not far behind, spying on everything that is going on.
Nevo, Serah, and Desna are uh, can't really remember where exactly, but on some sort of battlefield trying to push back Serris' forces.
Klepto is at the Watcher's Guild's headquarters, training, sort of.
The other applications, such as Kaiju's never joined.
Anymore questions, needed clarifications, random outbursts, comments, unexpected pregnancies or hunger for pohtatoes?
Sun, 10/06/2013 - 19:36
#512
@Hex
Huh. I could've sworn they were in Haven. Forgive me Trol for trying to correct you when you were actually correct and my gosh this is a really long exclamation I should probably stop it now!!!!!!!!!!!
I have very little homework. I was an honors student. I was transferred. Honors were full. I was dumped into the...ah...intellectually "challenged" class. And maturity.
Apparently, the Justifier HQ is next to the battlefield (Trolo went from the fight to there in one post).
I am hungry for potatoes. Delicious, buttered, salted and seasoned, still sizzling, the aroma thick in the air, letting your thoughts relax as your mouth salivates and readies to bite into one...MmmmmMMMM.
Clarifications? Hmmm.
I. Since Alec told Ozlo about the armies fighting, will the captain send soldiers to intervene?
II. What the heck happened to Pow-Posts-Again?
III. THERE IS NO- wait, already did that. Carry on...
IV. On the first couple of pages, there were around 3-4 more people posting. They apparently joined. What happened to them?
V. Did you notice I changed from 1,2,3 to I,II,III?

Well, forget the "Brothers" part then and I just followed Troloe to the Justifier HQ.

Wondering
I wonder, how long will it take Antasma to realize if he attacked Daud he would have little effect and get himself either really maimed or killed. Of course I am wondering if I should give Skotino a more active role. Of course if I did I would like to update him a little bit but that would be the call of the Mods of the forum. If approved I will go back to 'The Darkwatch' post and finish the update posting aproval. Noting that I really want to give Skotino a sort of anti-protagonist but not quite the Antagonist because you already have one, Serris. Mostly want to give Skotino more flesh about him should I use him in a another Forum RP here. yes I know its not bright but a Refrence character is always good to have.

Hey, Potato... I only realize now that Eve and Alec are completely ignoring Herston...
Mon, 10/07/2013 - 08:14
#516
@Dark
Antasma's defense is very high and has brilliant shadow defense as well. Daud's silent nightblade won't do much damage since it deals shadow. The only reason why Lucario's Gran Faust (Which is now fused with a Divine Avenger.) was dealing lots of damage was the fact the sword has the chance to cause curse which the swarm is weak to. Also you need to remember Lucario is there as well who can help you.

@Hexlash
Darn right that it's a "srsly dude" moment; what was that all about? We were having a "character development" event that kinda got ruined when Nitscu teleported them both away. We were on the verge of exploring 1) Claire's darker side, 2) Daud's reaction and handling of a troubled woman and 3) how Nitscu handles tense situations.
Gone.

POOF!
GONE!
Herston is debating over whether he should tell Eve a secret. xD

#520
Abracadabra!
Huh. Well, let's say that meanwhile Herston STILL hasn't told Alec his name. Maybe it could be a running gag?
Mon, 10/07/2013 - 20:11
#521
Well...
Whoops didn't finish post in time and it got deleted.
Anyways, I'm sorry I had to do that too, Thin. It's just, and no offense, but when Troloe and Creeper's characters barged in, I didn't want them influencing the character development I was going for, because we couldn't really ignore them, considering Antasma's debatable power and threat...

#522
Hold on a second!
Sorry to question your motives yet again, trololoe, but wouldn't shocking yourself do nothing but harm you? I mean, I don't exactly think that shocking yourself for like 5-15 seconds makes you immune. Just sayin'
Tue, 10/08/2013 - 07:39
#523
@Nova
I was weak to my own attack but I needed to shock myself with my attack for a short time to make me immune to my attacks (Plasma bolt). It's not immunity to everything Nova.
Tue, 10/08/2013 - 11:05
#524
Uhh...
ಠ_ಠ
Wat.
Troloe, I seriously have no idea how that works... If you're weak to your own attacks, attacking yourself makes you immune to it???
Whaaaa???

Who is Trench Coat? Hopefully not Serris, or Alec will have his head before you can say nothing.

Yay!
I was hoping to meet up with S-P's character! Now hopefully he won't do anything TOO stupid before my guy comes to.
Tue, 10/08/2013 - 16:34
#528
@Hex
Alec won't do anything stupid; problem is if HERSTON (who Topo explicitly said was a dummy sometimes) does something that may not be rational. Eve'll probably make sure that he doesn't, say, break the ring of ice to give them coffee .:P

@Sanpot
lol San(dwich-)Pot(ato)
I mean like run away oir something, I really want to do some character bonding and stuff with Alec, which is vital for my character, and Claire.
Tue, 10/08/2013 - 17:22
#530
@Hex
Ahhhh...
Unfortunately, Alec is now rather suspicious of Claire, much like Desna. Her personality and image were implanted into a scenario in which after what seemed like years but in real-time was minutes, he grew to trust her. Then Serris sicced the simulation on him. Jerkface.
As for bonding, hopefully Nitscu can stand Alec's puns long enough to talk :P.
Tue, 10/08/2013 - 18:24
#531
@Thin
In my previous post, I uh kinda made an ice wall around Claire and Nitscu while unconscious... :P
EDIT: Unless Claire somehow escaped the ice wall without Eve noticing (who might be staring at Herston sleeping, :P). Let's treat like that for the sake of timely updates, shall we?
Tue, 10/08/2013 - 18:24
#532
Meh.
I just want to ask a question, is Nevo charging towards the knights a bit too much of a powerplay? I can change it if you want.

TOO MUCH POKEMANZ
Creep, I don't know how to say this without being nasty, but here goes. Can you stop putting pokemon into the RP? It kinda puts me off. If everyone else is ok with it, then I'll be quiet.

@Nova
Don't you think he looks perfect for a swarm leader? Seriously the swarm is strong and since he is a leader, it would make sense and it will most likely be the last pokemon in...

@Creeperlucario
I've always imagined the Swarm to resemble the Zerg.
Wed, 10/09/2013 - 13:38
#539
@Thin
I see what you mean but I mentioned in the post that the unknown passage has 2 leaders. So, a zerg and that the character that attacked Lucario in the dream. I assume Seeris is an undercover swarm leader since he launched dark power from his hands when he took over operators mind.

New enemies!
Void Scarab: Scarabs infected by the Swarm, genetically modified with improved tracking abilities.
Void Snarble Cub: Three-eyed wolvers that do not have the genetic code to grow into full-grown snarbolaxes. Unlike regular wolvers, Void Snarble Cubs can bite up to three times per attack, and they have strong tracking abilities.
Void Chieftan: Vast Swarm-infected beings capable of spawning Void monsters wherever they travel.
Void Demon: Swarm-infected devilites imbued with the genetic code of a knight and armed with a Void Striker blade. Pray that you never meet these monstrosities.

This will make the swarm more deadly but seriously, good ideas.

@Thin
I would like to add something to Alec's personality that I forgot; his shattered mind, when rebuilt, was never made as good as new. Some effects include: slight bi-polar behavior, having a strange desire to toy with those he interrogates that he doesn't really like or trust, natural distrust of all those that were in his simulation, and of course, his demons, which sometimes bring back the painful visions.
Also:
Is the bounty hunter going to make a reappearance?
How fond of coffee is Claire?
Hope you don't mind if Claire and Alec have a sort of cat/mouse game, but each person is both feline and rodent.
How distrustful of Alec is Claire?
Wed, 10/09/2013 - 14:32
#543
@Sandwich-Potato
Re. Alec's personality: have at it.
Re. the bounty hunter: possibly. ;)
Re. Claire & coffee: She's quite fond of coffee. It's also a staple ration of the Recon Rangers, which she was once a part of.
Re. cat/mouse games: I'm not sure what that entails, but Claire is likely to play the role of feline in any case.
Re. Claire's trusting Alec: She's never met him before, so she doesn't trust him any more than she would a stranger, maybe less since he seems to know her so well.
Wed, 10/09/2013 - 14:48
#544
Sorry, Hex!
I know you wanted Nitscu to bond with Alec, but I felt that the visions plaguing Alec would be most important because of the new light it places Alec in to the public. I kind of skid past the details, because I feel terrible when writing sad scenes where someone dies, etc. One that has those deaths be innocent ones, and intentional...I don't feel comfortable doing.
Wed, 10/09/2013 - 14:56
#545
@Sandwich-Potato
I think the readers could use a little more background on why those visions happen. Otherwise, I find myself going like, "Okay...that was random."

#546
@Thin
Guess my request has been denied?
Wed, 10/09/2013 - 16:29
#547
@Thin
My previous posts have kind of, you see, explained why the visions happen.
Recap: Serris showed Alec, at an early age, millions of visions of horror and terror. When that didn't break Alec, he resorted to simulations in which he trusted a computer program person. As soon as he trusted it, Serris would have it betray Alec, shattering him. Hundreds of times. Thousands of times. Eventually, his mind slipped, and he somehow escaped and found himself in a hospital. Thinking it was another simulation, it took weeks before Alec could fathom that it was over. Or was it? His mind never fully recuperated, and as an additional scar, he would never forget those wartime horrors. Screams of children, wails of the mourning, fire, smoke, shots fired and swords slashed, cleaving asunder bone and flesh and organs.
Man, I should be a violent graphic author :P.
EDIT: And now I've finished Alec's vision attack. I feel really, really bad now. I could almost feel the grief just by typing it up.

Good gracious me!
Why S-P?! Good gosh, you made a great... bad... terrifying... terrific..? Nevermind, but that was just *pwoooosh* Mind blown and eyes dry post right der, 6/5 for describing such depressing things in such vivid movie like detail :) Wait no, smiley face bad! :(
Hopefully, we can get your guy fixed up soon. I can't bear another one of those attacks :C
Wed, 10/09/2013 - 18:00
#549
I is sorry Hex!
I feel terrible for writing such a depressing childhood, but I couldn't think of any other way to flesh out Alec's past.
Also, Thin: Sorry for the slight powerplay (Alec has an attack and after some time recovers, who knows how long). Maybe we could pretend that it was a few minutes long and meanwhile those other people were talking?

Just a quick thought-@Thin
This 'Game of Death' is currently as similar to a deadly labyrinth as my dog is a frog.(Partially because the 'ending' to the deadly labyrinth was on page 3, they're no longer in the labyrinth(meaning the RP should've ended, but it didn't) and my dog is most definitely not a frog.)
I have to say: The speed of the way the main plot of 'Game of Death' changed was rushed at best. If I am correct, the main plot(being trapped in a dungeon with no exit(until you finish the game) and someone following you) ended in the third page of the story thread. Don't you think that's a tad bit too quick? I personally think that it was a very drastic change, and was uncalled for. This is just a minor problem that has been bugging me, so you can easily disregard it if you wish.
Insufferable foolish intellectually-challenged annoying irking irratating double post! D:<
