Our avatars are posting on a forum thread.

Go To

This is a thread where, as the title implies, our avatars (from our galleries) are posting in an in-universe forum thread. You can drop in any time with pretty much any character you want, whether from existing works or your own OCs. Though most of it is done through forum posts, some "in-person" interactions between characters is also fine.

Even if this is a more casual RP, there are still some rules and general RP etiquette to keep in mind for everyone to have a good time and feel comfortable:

  • NO GODMODDING. Godmodding is when you decide what happens to another player's character, and is generally frowned upon. In particular, avoid injuring and especially killing someone else's character; fighting is ok but let the other player decide if the hit connects. If your plot idea requires something to happen to a different player's character, you'll want to privately discuss this with them and if they're ok with that. This includes in-universe moderation.
  • Be nice and respect other players' boundaries. Your character being mean or a jerk is one thing, but if someone gets uncomfortable about your behavior towards their characters, knock it off. Also do not force others into your story arcs; in general it would be a good idea to ask the other person first if they are interested, and plan it together if they are.
  • If you have anything to say, ask about, ect. that is not part of the RP, you can put it under a spoiler tag [[spoiler: like this]]
  • While almost any character is welcome, please avoid playing any real-life person who's mainly associated with controversies, drama and problematic behavior. We don't need that here.
  • Have fun!

    Original post 

Ahh, console video games (or vidcons as I call them). the ultimate medium of expression, able to convey any emotion ranging from hatred to love, loyalty to fear, all in front of our eyes. Ah, and with lovingly crafted art, music, and the ability to control the action, vidcons are the ultimate combination of the high arts. While I tend to play the stoic, I will be the first to admit that vidcons haven driven me to cry, to scream and shout, to feel actual hate; such is the power of this force beyond our wildest reckoning. And here I am, before you, to temp your tongues with the taint of such a tantalizing topic.

And the Japanese, the true geniuses behind the world of video games. Pah, I throw my scorn upon such incompetents of the West who would mock the true art of the Japanese with 'games' such as Baldur's Gate and Madden. Perhaps it is that the West is not as intelligent as the East, but this is a matter for another day. Japan has given us such masterpieces as the Final Fantasy series, Star Ocean, Wild Arms, and of course, Arc the Lad. Yes, some of the finest vidcons in the world were created by Japanese. I come to you today to ask you in all earnesty, what is your favorite vidcon? I will reveal mine after the grand debate has illustriously begun, but not before the first poster falls victim to my plot of discussion.

In other words, this is a thread on an imaginary forum our avatars frequent. The topic can fluctuate, and its mostly just general discussion.

Oh boy. Where's the quote button on this thing… I can't find it. I'll have to improvise then.

[WAIT SO JASTRIMO WHO WAS THE "GREAT OVERSEER" GOT KILLED? IS MURDER OF A HIGH RANKING PERSON LEGAL?]
[NOT ONLY THAT BUT THEY BECAME THE GREAT OVERSEER AFTERWARDS? I MEAN DONT GET ME WRONG I LOVE TO SEE A RUDE PERSON GET KILLED AS MUCH AS THE NEXT GUY BUT THAT WOULD GET LADY GWYNETH IN LEGAL TROUBLE RIGHT?]
Considering that Jastrimo was a tyrannical Overseer who was also responsible for creating the Relinquished that plagued the first universe, Sköll, I think everyone was willing to make an exception. Though, while his death did cause the Relinquished to cease to exist, he had so much negative emotions that those just spawned the Empty Ones… but it's going to take a while to bring an end to those abominations.
As for the other question, I've been told that, when a Greater Overseer is killed by an Overseer, their killer absorbs the powers that the former Greater Overseer had, and thus replaces them. Since this was way before my time, I don't know how true this is, but if lady Gwyneth is still the Greater Overseer, then she's got to be pretty strong.
First- no, second time I'm hearing of such a universe hierarchy. In my experience there's no such thing as "multiple multiverses", maybe you're referring to a local section of the multiverse, consisting of universes that allow travel between them using your method? ... Mind if I test something?

The test that I have in mind is giving you an inter-universal radio and placing some beacons in universes close to your home universe, and whenever you visit a universe with a beacon in it, you'll get a confirmation signal. That way, we can tell what you're travelling to when you go to a different universe - an actually different universe, or just a different "sub-universe" within your home universe, if that makes sense.
I think this may be a case of different laws of physics and whatnot. At school, I was taught of a hierarchy like this: universe; multiverse; megaverse; archverse; omniverse.
So in your world(s), there are not only the Makers, but also some sort of Mega-Makers above even them? And then there’s a supreme Maker on top of them? Now I’m even more confused…

Although Nox is definitely weird by Multiverse standards, since it’s entirely underground,
I suppose that's one way of putting it. Xyrinfe is pretty weird too. What laws of physics apply in one of its universe, doesn't necessarily apply to another. And all Overseers has a unique name for each universe, too.
So, if you’re an “Overseer”, would you help me find any suggestions for, umm communicating with the Lunarians?
Phos, even though I wish to be taken by the Lunarians, this may be a stupid idea.

By the way, my name’s Cinnabar, that was Phosphophyllite, sorry about them…
No worries. My true name is Charlie de Bruyn, but in the Alfarnos universe, I go by the name Cibryll Schiffer. As for the Lunarian thing… don't they resemble penguins? Or am I confusing them with a different race by the same name?

[up]x3 If it is indeed about different laws of physics making different universes, then it's very probably the case that what you consider an "omniverse" is just another universe to me. I tried sending a probe to your world, by the way, and it degraded on arrival, so whatever place it is that the radio logs are indexing, it's definitely got very exotic physics compared to my homeworld.

[up]Wow, impressive drawing! Looks like it could fit as a carving in some ancient ruins.

Also, about the translation thing, maybe an AI translation could work? I'd need a lot of Lunarian speech samples in order to train an AI, though, so if you want me to do that, I should get to work asap.

[down] OOC: Gotcha!

[down]I imagine they'd immediately recognize me as someone related to the patrol jets and get really pissed. Unfortunately the best idea that I have is hiding some wildlife microphones on the Lunarians' moon - unfortunately, because there's no atmosphere. I can, and probably will try my best to see if I can pick up anything as language...

See y'all in a couple of hours.

Update: There's an atmosphere here??? Something I can't identify using spectroscopy, but hey, guess I know what to do.

Yep. If not for that, things could've gotten worse, like a massive rebellion leading to thousands - if not millions or even centillions - of casualties.

Never seen these Lunarians before. What do they have against these Gems, anyway?

I tried sending a probe to your world, by the way, and it degraded on arrival, so whatever place it is that the radio logs are indexing, it's definitely got very exotic physics compared to my homeworld.
Intriguing. Might I ask, what does the probe look like, exactly?

   [up][up] Just to clarify, what exactly is a cataphract?   

Did it have something to do with the sunflower issue mentioned a long time ago or not?

I don’t know and I don’t care. I found Chromatone by the way. Just one more of them to go…

Is this “Chromatone” for sale? Actually, don’t answer that, we’re going to buy it anyway!

Get away from them you great big stellated dodecahedron!

Well, you’ll have to make me do it.

You know what? Take all our money. I assure you that it is in no way filled with explosives, lasers or explosive lasers.

I don’t see why not. Thanks. Oh, and do this again tomorro-[BOOM!]

[up][up] It's just a term we use for any infantry class combat unit. Typically their constructed out of polished white eternalite which is a reality bent material but we have also taken to attempting to construct them around specific goals or weaponry in this case Australium based incendiary but we typically avoid the use of anything reailty bent when attempting it more so for a challenge. the MkI and MkII sol cataphracts are respectivly built around infantry scale magnesium throwers and Plasma throwers the MkI was designed and in use during the luddic wars while the MkII was designed after and has been in use ever since it.

The gems' homeworld is a gift that keeps on giving... The lunarian town (city? Megastructure) isn't too interesting by itself - it's a bunch of brutalistic staircase-like blocks, and I'm not too fond of brutalism myself - but it melts and recrystallizes depending on the UV radiation levels! First time I watched it reassemble, I almost forgot that I was there to hide microphones.

[up]x9 Will try to post a picture sometime soon, am currently on a mission, though, so that might take a while. Sorry!

[up]x5 We took advantage of the Magog Cartel’s corrupt nature by giving them money with traps inside it. Then they all went BOOM! They went BOOM! twice, in fact.

I would tell you about the incoming threat to us, but there surprisingly isn’t any. In fact, we just found Exodal hiding on…Jadriane(a Titan-ish super earth)? How did they get there?

Exodal385🪐📡 has logged on!

It’s a long story. All I can tell you without it being 30 minutes long is that it involved uranium, boracite, and a whole lot of thermometers.

Boracite? I thought the first place we went to find you was the Icy Palace!

Hey guys? The birds’s birthdays are in 2 days! We’ve got to get something good for them!

   One copy of Expedition and Encyclopedia Astraeus coming up!   

Encyclopedia Astraeus? I thought that wasn’t coming out until next year!

Time travel, remember?

Oh, right.

Also, Star Wars day is tomorrow! “May the 4th be with you” and all that.

[up](x4) Oh. Umm, I have a hardness of 3.5, which means I'm very brittle and not suited for combat, so Sensei thought I can work on this encyclopedia, which I found boring until I saw this "thing" here and met you guys. Plus, I want to do something important, many of the others have higher hardnesses, so they do most of the fun stuff, like Morga way earlier—

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cinn1.jpeg

That, and Phos likes to laze around all day, doing almost nothing but sleep, complain, or bother the others.

At least I have a proper job, while you’re most likely "doing" your encyclopedia as an excuse to dither around with outsiders.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cinn6.png

Plus, my poison kills everything it touches, at least I have a reason to to do these... lonely patrols.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/phos1.jpg

Know what Cinn? Since Ica and their friends are trying to solve this Lunarian mystery, maybe this could be an opportunity for you to convince Sensei to move away from this sad job, and work with me!

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/b8a4f7e5_d582_41a8_8235_463562450e2e.jpeg

Plus, we can at least have fun while doing it, especially as we can meet new beings and show them to our island! Won't that be neat?

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cinn6.png

I...don’t know...

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/b8a4f7e5_d582_41a8_8235_463562450e2e.jpeg

Come on! I promise we can make it work! We could even stop the fighting between the Lunarians and us!

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cinn1.jpeg

Are you even sure that they want peace, given what has happened in the past?

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/phos3.jpg

Well, Ica's fighters are giving us a chance to do so... Speaking of which, hey Ica, when you’re done with whatever you’re doing, do you have anything for Cinnabar and their poison?

OOC: If you’re wondering about Cinnabar, refer to this or this.
