I can't think of anything to do to further this without it being clearly contrived. Elly isn't going to stumble again, and while he does have childish curiosity (impeccable mannerisms or not, he's still 12), I can't think of any way to utilise that that makes sense. D:

You know, it would be interesting if Elkepzel was a Codex. But alas it can't happen because the identities of the Codex have been established in the IC, and I most certainly don't have an idea as to how to set it up.

Please don't take that as offensive or condescending D:

Why would I?

whizzball1 said
I suddenly felt like it was really mean.

Nimda said
It wasn't. But was it a hint?

whizzball1 said
I thought you would be against the idea so I put a few reasons why it could work.Anyway, idea: So a while back, one of the Codex just disappeared without a trace. They didn't know it, but he was reborn, and Elkepzel now has no idea of his origins. His power deals with the structure of atoms and molecules so it works fine as a Codex power. And now is a good time for Accelerator to, say, recognise Elkepzel's power and ask his name.

Nimda said
Well the problem with that is that you underestimate Accelerator's apathy.Concerning the idea, I may have to mull it over a bit, although Codex aren't really "reborn," but it's more like their title is passed down to an heir.

whizzball1 said
That doesn't conflict: An external force rebirthed him. Maybe that external force saw him as a threat, but simply killing him would produce an heir. This option would keep him out of the picture for a longer time.

Nimda said
What now? And Codex don't get to choose who gets to be the next Codex after them; it's distributed according to the System.

whizzball1 said
Let me rephrase: If a Codex dies, another becomes the next Codex, right? Now, say Elkepzel's position was naturally a threat to some other person. However, if Elkepzel was killed, another would fill the position and nothing would be accomplished. If Elkepzel killed, but instead he was reborn by some magic, then (I'm supposing) an heir couldn't take his place, so the position would be unfilled for a time. Then the person wouldn't have the threat of that position.

Nimda said
Well there are two problems with that. First, when a Codex dies, another being born that instant becomes the next Codex, and not necessarily with the same ability, so killing them would easily achieve those goals. And second, Codex are completely incompatible with magic. Oh, and they're incredibly hard to kill.

whizzball1 said
Huh. I'll have to think about som-So, if they're incredibly hard to kill to get rid of the position, why not do something else? Say, blocking up memories and replacing them with fake ones.bed, ned :[

I don't know. It would be easier to just have him be a Codex that doesn't know it yet.Ughhhhkay. Laters.
