@xodus I still would think if you didn't use alchemy, you won't go insane, even if you have the ability.

And I wanna know what happens if there's not enough Chronos, or too many. I mean, they have to do something with the people with that ability even if there's not enough slots.

@shylarah

If there are more than 12 I assume the newbie attempts to kill the older Chrono whose number they're replacing. Thus, AMRO keeps their Chrono from getting to cocky and sure in their power.

If there are too little, I assume AMRO takes the strongest Asylum(s) and does something to make them Chrono level.

Well Chrono level alchemists are very rare. They don't show up that much, maybe 4 or 5 born every decade, and among them not all survive.

A.M.R.O makes sure to get to them and begins their specialized training. So those with exceptional skill are put on the track to become a chrono while others are put on the track to become Lost Numbers.

If A.M.R.O has more than 12 battle ready chronos available, than the 13th is kept on standby, set to replace a Chrono if he or she would perish. Though standby Chrono's are again quite rare.

A.M.R.O is quite organized, the Chrono's age varies from some new while others a few years from retirement while other some where in the middle. They also have "would-be chronos" being taught so as to fit in a rotation of sorts to ensure there won't be too many or too less.

Also yes if you don't use alchemy, you won't go insane. However I did mention alchemy is an addiction, it is simply not possible to not use it. You might not go insane but the withdrawal will drive you mad.

Whose the head of AMRO? Whose the head honcho? The one that runs this entire mess?

The director is the person who oversees A.M.R.O, his name is Director Mason.

The director is the person who oversees A.M.R.O, his name is Director Mason.

I assume he's an Alchemist of considerable power and/or brainwashes the almighty hell out of the Chronos?

Not really. He is actually wheel chair bound and no one has ever seen him in combat let alone use alchemy.

As far as Chronos go, they actually have considerable autonomy. They are left to handle things as they see fit. A Chrono can even come into conflict with another Chrono based on what mission they take. The director however does have the power to impede, in certain situations he will assign a very specific mission to a Chrono which has to be followed. He also oversees the over all objectives of A.M.R.O as well as the future direction.

Also if you are thinking why hasn't any Chrono tried to usurp the throne. Well there one simple rumor that keeps all Chronos in line.

Now all Asylums share a link with their partners. And the links of every pair of Asylum within A.M.R.O forms an entity called a code. The Chronos are the only Alchemists who can directly tap into the code.

Let me explain this further. The reason for the link is to connect the sanity of two Asylums. As such if one Asylum is put into the situation of using a level 2 cast, the other Asylum sacrificed his sanity so as to balance the backlash of insannadiction on his partner.

Now since Chronos are directly tapped into the code, that means if need be they can not only access any information about any Asylum, they can also draw from an immense pool of sanity. Oh yea.

Now this bring me to that rumor. While Chronos can tap into the code, they have no power to influence or manipulate the code.

It is rumored that the director of A.M.R.O has the power to manipulate the code. Which means he can theoretically render every Chrono's power void by simply using every single Asylum's sanity to place a barrier on a Chrono's Alchemic drive. They won't be able to sacrifice their sanity to use alchemy.

@xodus Oh is THAT why they don't go crazy? See, if anyone had that kind of sanity to tap into, they could do Chrono tier stuff I bet.

Sparks: Wait you mean Julie's using /our/ sanity to cast her temper-tantrums? Not cool, dude!

Additionally, withdrawal might be tough, but I'd think it's /possible/. or we need details for people that don't use alchemy often, because I think Bits will go long periods without using hers. Potentially on the scale of years.

But it sounds like the Code is just the links -- so thoughts, not actual information. Unless it's augmented by computers somewhere.

@xodus Oh is THAT why they don't go crazy?

*Looks at Reri and Julie.*

Yeah. They're PERFECTLY SANE.

insane and /insane/ are different, @Rtron.

My schedule's cleared to the point where rejoining is an option, so if you guys will have me, I'd like to jump back into things.

More like BACK-u, am I right?

Because - because I'm back?

...I'll, uh, I'll see myself out.

So .... A Summary of Colors

AJ is Green....

Sparks is cornflowerblue and Bits is SlateBlue

Alistair is Hot Pink and Vali is Deep Pink

Ethan is Yellow and Ilana is Lawn Green <=== how did I miss Mika's post earlier? o.O

Cams is Dark Khaki and Omar is Cyan

Shoot, me, Rtron! I forgot Maeve and Kirra D:

Anyhow, Maeve's color is red like blood and Kirra's is anything but drab (probably snarky) olive

First person to go indigo needs to be told to babysit Reri. :C

Felt I should make note of this, since it's been so long!

Elliot is Deep Sky Blue, or #00BFFF.

Renault is Orange Red, or #FF4500.

@Ryver et Rhine We should really put that color key somewhere. Like maybe in the first post on the character page? Iunno.

Xodus iz lazeh <.<

I shall have a post up by Saturday. My exams will end by then. So mean while Baku and Kirra you two should totally get a post up and join the madness. xD

@Rtron: Evacuation actually soudo like a good plan. Being near Julie is never a good idea, she isn't capable of holding back for long. :p

Maeve is capable of good ideas!

Woot for Baku! I'll just re-edit the codes again. -pokes- @Xodus

Also, for the colors section ... can someone kinda poke me on Saturday/Sunday? I'm pretty e-e busy usually during the weekdays and probs won't be focused on coding properly.
