Even in these times, Life goes on
#173901: Nov 15th 2016 at 8:38:18 AM

[up]I remember from the last episode of Voltron: Legendary Defender (Hunk's universe) that the Paladin's Bayard can be utilized like a Swiss Army Knife, but only by a very experienced Paladin; as the Big Bad Emperor Zarkon was revealed to be the Black Lion (Shiro's Lion) original Paladin, and having lived for 10,000 years after being separated from his lion but not his Bayard, he had plenty of time to learn the secrets of his equipment.

Hunk by comparison is less than a child in experience, but the potential to unlock his Bayard's abilities is there. Don't take this as concrete yet as I haven't made any changes to the character sheet, but I was thinking of Hunk managing to form a shield stronger than his standard one, capable of tanking (yes I mean tanking) stronger attacks than lasers, such as missiles or explosives at close range.

I'm not sure on offensive weapons beyond his primary weapon yet, but I would welcome suggestions via PM if anyone has an idea or two.

Just a heads up to people in Ren, game control will be put in the hands of Mako once his challenge starts so don't be confused if you see him taking over as the radio control character instead of me.

On a related note, while this won't be a thing for a while yet, the next challenge of both Nemesis and Terminus will be coming, and we could use challenge suggestions to fill out the list for both games.

Challenge ideas for Nemesis

  • A dark wizard/necromancer/evil overlord is conducting an evil ritual with some kind of MacGuffin - let's say a Dark Crystal. The Villains have to defend the crystal until the ritual is complete and the heroes have to destroy it.
  • A naval battle. The Heroes have to rescue a princess who's been stranded on a beach and sail her to her home while the Villains are trying to intercept them in their own ships.
  • A type of haunted maze that whichever team finishes first wins

Put one up, though I would hardly call it "full".

Made an addition to the sheet for the Renaissance section, though I'd recommend the GM be well-versed in the Bionicle Mythos if the players want to get a full experience out of the challenge.

Ud, would you please explain how Rock, who in your established AU is from the Marvel Vs Capcom series, knows ANYTHING about Naruto, who is nether a Marvel nor Capcom character?

And Ore-O, are you now implying Felix knows what a Jedi is?

I thought this was common sense but I'm gonna come right out and say it. Unless a given character is directly from your own universe or generally known in it, you do NOT know them. For people from more realistic universes like MGS where most real life stuff is around, I'll overlook very very minor references like I made a page or two ago in Nem. But other then that, you do NOT know people not from your own work.

Now, Ore-O, Ud, edit your damn posts.

If I was playing anyone other than Hazel, that would be a problem for me, but she's been dead for eighty years, so most pop culture references go straight over her head.

Well, Red vs. Blue does reference other media by name, like how Felix mocked one of his buddies' name, saying and I quote "What is he, a Batman villain?"

But, I'm sure staying in a mountain would have human culture fly over Tori's head. And the same goes for the Mechon, except replace mountain with giant.

But, I'll fix my post since I'm a nice guy, or at least I'm trying to be.

I'm very sorry for having taken this long to address this, but in general Susan's steaks should taste exactly so: very, very good steaks. Since 99.999% of the population back home is sufficiently fooled, it's indistinguishable from beef.

Those who would know it are people like Carmilla/Sypha and Cho'gath who are magical cannibal people and people like Reimu, who have "this is obviously altered by magic but I can't tell what" senses should be able to figure it out. To the rest, it should just taste delicious.

Sorry for the problems pointing this out might cause.

@Regarding People Knowing Fictional Universes Thing:

It's come to attention that people have been disgruntled about having to edit their posts regarding the whole situation and I would like to ask that in the future, such events don't happen anymore so people don't need to edit their posts. For all intents and purposes, even if canon depicts people knowing of a certain fictional work, for the sake of rping I would like to ask everyone to just say their characters don't know of such things to make the game easier on everyone else and to prevent the abuse of people knowing how things that they shouldn't.

@ore-o:

"But, I'll fix my post since I'm a nice guy, or at least I'm trying to be."

I know you were aggrieved but the passive aggressive statement was a bit rude, i must say. In the future try to talk things out without having to resort to such a tone, please?

[up]I wasn't trying to be passive-agressive. I thought it would be some good words to say and now in hindsight, that was a rather douchey comment. My apologies.

Being magical and divine in nature, I'll say that something scientific might be able to say it's beef that isn't all natural in some way. Not in a sinister manner, but more like "it's the kind of thing mcdonalds would put in their burgers" instead of "uh oh something's wrong here".

@mrstack: Actually, Kage was talking to Hazel, since Hazel was the one showing off a regimental tattoo. Sorry if I phrased it vaguely, such was not my intent. That being said, I like Azula's answer and wish there was some way to keep it.

[up][up] Ah i read that as him talking to Azula instead of Hazel.

Though to be honest, it would be in her character to just interject herself in another conversation to make it all about her. She gives no fucks. tongue

Your works are one trope short.
