Vulkan, Thundercrash, Eklispe, and NightmareInd participated in RP that week!
I also posted for Kaze, so I will give him LD for now.
Each of these players gets 1000 LD!
If you participated in any collabs I'm unaware of, please let me know so I can award you LD.
The tournament finale is experiencing some hiccups, but we're still pushing through. Thank you for your patience. I'm pretty busy this time of year, so even if we weren't waiting on the tournament participants, you would likely be waiting on me. XD
I've written an almighty post for the start of Leos and my collab, and Leos has also written some stuff on that (although I confess to having not read it in detail yet).
According to google docs, Oct 11 and 15 for me and Kovimar's stuff (arriving at the hospital, etc), and 19th for Leos. I'm unable to move any further forward until Leos responds.
Had a bit of free time, so I figured I'd pop in and say hi to some old friends.
Type: Null is definitely an attempt to recreate Arceus. Silvally's ability RKS System and its datamined shiny form confirm that very clearly. Alolan Geodude is a thing. A thing with some big eyebrows. Pikipek turns into a Toucan. Solgaleo and Lunala share an evolutionary line, it seems. Yes, you heard right. Legendaries are evolving now. Looks like there are also 8 different Ultra Beasts, and you can capture them in special Pokeballs. Sea urchin-looking Pokemon is interesting. Also, new moves: Laser Focus guarantees a crit on next attack, and Throat Chop prevents the target from using sound-based moves for two turns. There's also something called Psychic Terrain, but I don't remember off the top of my head what it does.
There's a whole lot more, but I think I'll stop here.
To everyone: I was thinking about an RP of the past, and that made me think it would be cool for all of us writers to be able to share our stories. Thus, here is a questionnaire about your overall RP experience for you to fill out if/when you want to. Also, you may include your own questions if you think of any.
For the sake of the questionnaire, an RP is defined as a structured but not fully planned out story which two or more people take turns to tell. Forum RP, one-on-one PM RP, tabletop, LARP, and similar things I haven't thought of count. You may include characters from Legends if you want.

Well..... that ended up being a lot more questions than I thought. ^_^' Just do what you want when you can.
My first RP was on this site but under a different username. The character was a teen Pokemon trainer named Rina. The made-up region's evil team had just hired her as a spy, and she posed as a normal beginning trainer. She had an Oshawott. Rina was timid and nervous while Oshawott was bold, thus beginning my typical dynamic of contrasting personalities between trainer and starter Pokemon.
2. Which of your characters was your favorite to play?
I can't choose between Tavi the Shadow/Ex-Shadow Zangoose (forum), Peter the Celebi (same forum), and Cyrwox4js (pronounced "Voice", formerly pronounced "Z") the Tiefling cleric (LARP). They were/are all particularly fun and interesting.
3. Which of your characters was the most successful/popular among other people in the group?
Again, hard choice between Peter and Cyrwox4js, because both were/are really popular among the players. I think I have to give it to Cyrwox4js because the group of people is bigger.
4. Which of your characters was the biggest flop?
Hannah the Fox (Sonic 1-on-1) and Mercury Light the unicorn (MLP forum). Both were attempts to RP in canons I didn't know very well. I felt afraid to stretch those canons, so both characters ended up as boring, Sue-ish, quasi-self-inserts. Bleh.
5. Which of your characters would be the victor in an ultimate battle between all your RP characters?
Some of my questions are tricky, aren't they? XD Well, I guess the victor would have to be powerful enough to stay in the fight and cunning enough to not be an early target. Maybe Peter. Maybe Presselae the half-elf bard (tabletop), especially now that the DM made her a lich after I left the group... I still don't know how that happened. XD Maybe the third major NPC that will be introduced in this forum.
6. Which was your favorite ship that a character of yours was involved in?
TAVICE. Tavi the Shadow/Ex-Shadow Zangoose and Maurice the Seviper. Tavi's condition suppressed emotions, which made it harder for everyone to be around her... except Sevipers she now felt less hatred towards. Maurice was raised for Pokemon Contests. His training to maintain composure, along with the fact that he knew nothing about his species' history with Zangoose, dulled his hatred. Maurice quickly grew to like Tavi despite- or maybe partially because of- his instincts, and he took it upon himself to take care of the mostly-feral Zangoose. In time, the friendship of Maurice and others restored more and more of Tavi's old self- both the capacity to love and the capacity to hate. It was a hard and beautiful and sometimes mushy ship, and by the end they had overcome their hateful instincts and loved each other back to the Pokemon they were meant to be. :3
7. What was the most diabolical thing a villainous character of yours did?
Peter the Celebi did some bad things the year he went psycho. The worst thing I can think of right now is going back in time to kill a Pokemon he had previously been good acquaintances with. Unfortunately, said Pokemon was a Kabutops whose fossil was revived later, so nothing really changed... all that happened was Peter made his own enemy. He did destroy a fossil that could have become the Kabutops's clone. And then there was that time he allowed a Pokemon to become Shadowed, knowing he could use a mindless Houndoom slave later, even though it was his sworn duty to purify Shadow Pokemon. And that time I created a brief self-insert just so Peter could murder the hell out of it. XD XD I think he deserved that one.
8. What was the most heroic thing a heroic character of yours did?
I have to give the title to Peter yet again. (His character went all over the place from Neutral-good hero to Evil-crazy villain.) Near the end of his life, he sensed a "ripple in time": a rare occurrence where the timeline of the universe branched as his actions actually could change things. He knew that either himself or one of his daughters would be killed in a certain battle. So, he snapped out of his year-long psycho paranoia and traveled to the date of the battle, where he died. Both his daughters survived. I was proud of Peter for going out as a hero instead of a villain, because it really could've gone either way for him.
A strong second place (sorry I keep cheating :P) goes to Four, the timid crippled Chikorita (forum RP). Her friend, who had become a mother figure, had been captured by some evil team. With unmatched bravery, help from a Claydol, and a particularly effective confused condition, Four took down the gang's Hydreigon. With that experience, she became much more comfortable in her own skin and also evolved.
9. What was the craziest thing a character of yours did?
I think that prize goes to DJ the Pichu/Pikachu (forum). His mind was twisted from witnessing constant violence since birth, and he became fascinated by death, including his own, from a young age. This made him a dangerously fearless Pokemon who did many crazy things. One of the crazier things is that he had a propensity for allowing large Pokemon to swallow him whole so he could kill them from the inside. He was five years old the first time he did this.
Honorable mention goes to Cyrwox4js the Tiefling Cleric. She became fast friends with someone during his first event and even converted him to her faith. She overheard someone saying her name and laughing. Someone was joking about how it would be funny if Cyrwox4js and Azir had a baby, and that it would be a crazy purple fluffball. Cyrwox4js thought it was a great idea, and she started trying for a baby with the guy she met two or three weeks prior. Ten months later, after fighting a war while pregnant and temporarily losing custody of her unborn child to her god, she gave birth to Malikai.
10. What was your saddest RP moment?
This one will need a little backstory, so bear with me (if you're even still reading this by now :P). A couple of us were goofing off in the Chat section, and somehow it became Chat canon that I had a baby with the angel of death. His name was Death Jr.- DJ- and he kept making half-cute-half-horrifying comments while eating blood popcorn. After a while, DJ became such a strong presence that I wanted to make him an actual character. Thus, my baby sprung forth from a recurring joke into a Pichu.
Fast forward to over a year later. When I knew I had to leave the forum for IRL reasons, I didn't want to just disappear and leave the others to explain why my characters vanished mid-conversation, like many had done before me. I wanted to go out with a bang. So I offered up Peter the Celebi's head to whoever could vanquish him and set the scene for a huuuuuge battle that nearly every player participated in. I planned to kill off several of my characters who were solid members of groups.
But, damn... it was really painful for me to write my psycho baby DJ's death. Already injured, still doggedly chased a foe underground, was crushed by an Earthquake. I was so sad that day, a lunch lady noticed and gave me some reassuring words, not even knowing my grief was about a character, haha. I still felt a little sad just now as I relived it.
One of the reasons I feel so sad is, of all my characters on that forum, DJ's future might have been the most up in the air. He could've grown up to be a major supervillain. If he ended up traveling with certain Pokemon, he might've even become a valiant hero. Or, the option that happened, he might have died young (11 years old). I feel a little like I failed DJ, robbed him of a chance to grow up into something better. But DJ had been looking forward to experiencing his own death, and it was a cool one, and I don't think he'd be mad at me for killing him off. There's also one more detail that brings fulfillment to his story, but that's another story for another question.
Rest In Adventure, my first fictional child.
11. Which of your characters was the weirdest?
Probably Four, the Chikorita/Bayleef. She was based on my favorite glitch Pokemon, "female symbol.". This glitch Pokemon's cry is a creepy, seemingly endless amalgamation of whatever random sounds it pulls from the rest of the game data. Four's egg was partially scrambled, thus, she was born with several defects. One was a seizure-like trance that happened every time she woke up or experienced great stress. During those trances, she spouted out random syllables, sometimes for hours.
I forgot his name (probably Sam Spark), but it was basicly some guy I made on the minecraft forums that was able to teleport from shadow to shadow (it was a supernatural/superpowered school RP). He was one of those guys with not much character and (because it was my first RP) I didn't do much right xD
2. Which of your characters was your favorite to play?
Almost all my characters are called Sam Spark (because I'm not creative with names :P) but one Sam Spark is my favourite: the Iron Assassin Sam Spark. Basicly, it was a 'children of the Avengers' type of RP so I made the son of Tony Stark, AKA Iron Man. Because of his training with several of the Avengers and his father's knowledge he made a light-weight white suit with a lot of features, for example cloaking, two big miniguns on his back, hidden crossbows, (like every assassin should have) hidden blades and it could all turn into a backpack. Thinking back to it though, it seems a bit OP xD
3. Which of your characters was the most successful/popular among other people in the group?
I think that would be this character, Charlie Flare. I didn't even start with him yet and people already like him. I hope I can play him right though, as I'm IRL pretty hard to get very angry and he's like tripwire all over the place.
4. Which of your characters was the biggest flop?
I guess it was another Sam Spark on the MC forums. I don't know what his character was exactly, but it was an orphanage RP and in one of my first posts I already metagamed xD Man I was so dumb back then, but I was a child so I blame puberty.
5. Which of your characters would be the victor in an ultimate battle between all your RP characters?
Probably another Sam Spark. In one RP where everyone with superpowers was detained, he was a 'special' case. He knew about 1 power (His shadow was alive and could move on its own as long as it was in range of it's owner and had enough light. The shadow could also reshape itself to have for example blades as arms, and by interacting with other persons shadows he could interact with their owners), and later figured out he had 2 more (shadow teleportation and being able to partially phase out). He is basicly indestructable because of this. I really am bad at making balanced characters xD.
6. Which was your favorite ship that a character of yours was involved in?
Remember Iron Assassin Sam? He had a short during relationship with someone else with a powersuit. Too bad the RP died short after, but maybe for the best as the relationship went a bit too fast. (unbalanced characters AND social awkerdness when finally getting a girl? Get your act together Nightmare xD)
7. What was the most diabolical thing a villainous character of yours did?
I never played a villainous character, as my characters always had some kind of conscience, but I sometimes play stuff that comes close to an antihero. For example, being a cutthroat in the night and leaving a shed full with blood just so the owners of the farm don't get extorted anymore. (It ain't good when their ain't blood, am I right?)
8. What was the most heroic thing a heroic character of yours did?
Basicly what I wrote at 7. Most of my characters don't last long and those who do are mostly antiheroes.
9. What was the craziest thing a character of yours did?
Fighting a bunch of soldiers while their shadow cuts them all down without them knowing what's happening. Let's just say I had a friend in that RP and the joke between us was that 'I was forged by the darkness, but she was born in it'.
10. What was your saddest RP moment?
Basicly every time I have to notify people I can't continue RP'ing because of IRL stuff. It happens a lot but that doesn't make it less likeable.
11. Which of your characters was the weirdest?
Probs Fortress. Big robot spin-off from Bastion, with a history of mass murder. His stereotype robotness made him a bit socially awkward at times xD
12. The funniest?
Most likely Fortress again. His socially awkwardness made for some fun laughs at times.
13. The scariest?
Fortress. Socially awkward and having a history of mass murder? You don't want him angry.
14. Which of your characters grew the most during the course of the RP?
Probs 'living shadow' Sam Spark. He started as a small kid not knowing what to do and then finally got out into the real world and became one of the deadliest soldiers in the resistance.
15. Which of your characters was the most like you?
I have no idea. I always like to keep some aspects of myself in a character. Maybe the orphanage one? He was the most human, socially awkward but at the same time smart one. (weird that the one most resembling myself is the worst character I ever made xD)
16. Least like you?
Again no clue, as all my characters have some aspects of myself (even Fortress the socially awkward mass murdering robot :P).
17. Which of your RP characters was the most challenging for you to play?
I did a 1x1 once where I played someone loved by all because of an unknown power. It's hard to play someone totally opposite of yourself xD
18. What fandom or genre do you RP with the most?
I like pokemon and sci-fi a lot, but I want them to be original. No total copies of the originals or boring 'doing the same thing over and over again' stuff.
19. How many RP's have you GM'd, and which was your favorite?
I tried GM'ing a RWBY RP which died fast, and a SAO RP. The RWBY one I liked more, but I spend more time in the SAO one. Too bad none of them ended well... :'(
20. Have you ever played a canon character in RP, and if so, what was your favorite experience?
Not really. I planned doing Mercury Black once in a 1x1 but that never launched.
21. What character type/trope do you enjoy using the most in RP?
Not sure. I'm used to playing a loner but thats so... lonely always so I don't really know.
22. Most memorable RP kill?
Don't know, I mostly don't play RP's where I kill other RP'rs or vice versa.
23. Most memorable RP death?
See 22.
24. What is your biggest RP regret?
Not being able to spend more time in RP'ing.
25. What is your proudest moment of RP?
Doing my first 1x1 RP, as I was always cautious of that part of the guild, but now I like it.
26. Why do you like RP?
The community. You always have some rotten apples, but most of it is fun to RP and talk with. Besides, with me being partially socially awkward IRL this is good training for me :P
That's going back quite a bit to the days when I preferred D&D to simpler, narrative driven roleplays. Nevertheless, he was a rather temperamental Artificer who believed flesh and blood to be a tacky thing. Going by the name Xaldin Nightshade, this was before I realised that D&D actually consisted of different planes, and as such, my Artificer had somehow crossed over from Eberron to whatever plane we were currently inhabiting. Having only played the MMO before - and adoring the Artificer, incidentally - I had absolutely no idea about this. Even so, my GM was awesome and didn't mind, and thus my frolicking through the dense forests pack with undead began =P
2. Which of your characters was your favorite to play?
As of now, I am extremely torn about this. One major candidate is Drystan, another is Sickle, but since both will almost certainly go for another. My favourite to play has to be Gubbins, and for reasons that will be thoroughly recounted in the crazy section of this questionnaire, so we shall leave it there for now.
3. Which of your characters was the most successful/popular among other people in the group?
I'm going to cheat. The most popular character I've ever had a hand in creating was the super-powered villain duo which I made alongside Ardent Dawn. The Sisters, Scylla and Charybdis. The original idea came shortly after I finished watching Tokyo Ghoul, and found myself enthralled by those two girls which each seemed to have one-half of a true Ghoul's power. So, I wanted to make some kind of fearsome female fighters to take the city of Boston by storm. I wanted their powers to perfectly complement one another, so the base concept was mine - and so were their eventual costumes. Ardent came up with the base power. They would be Aerokinetics, manipulating wind on a massive scale. She also came up with the name, and it was an instant hit with everyone who have seen them in action. Truly a rock and a hard place.
In the end, The Sisters are two actually related twins(although no-one in the city is actually aware of that) who each control wind. Scylla can create a bubble of compressed air so thick and with such force that it would take an immensely fast projectile to break through it. She can also augment her physical attacks by directing the flow of air around her strikes. Charybdis can manipulate the air to fly, and fires out almighty gusts capable of cracking stone. The two never speak when on mission, instead bending the air currents in an interaction which no-one but them will ever be able to understand. They are ostensibly urban myths for a long time, until they end up in the public eye and everyone realises just how much trouble you are in if they are hired to hunt you down.
4. Which of your characters was the biggest flop?
Probably Xaldin. I was knew to the RP scene, and being new and starting with D&D is like being new at music composition and attempting to make something more iconic than Beethoven's Fur Elise. My fault for not doing the research, definitely. The campaign was still very fun, but I could have made so much more of it with the experience I now have.
5. Which of your characters would be the victor in an ultimate battle between all your RP characters?
Sickle-Cell. He's a haemokinetic, so would just kinda bum around the arena until enough other characters tore into each other before drowning them all in their own blood. Did I mention he's a charming fellow?
6. Which was your favorite ship that a character of yours was involved in?
The closest any of my characters has become to getting 'shipped' with anyone is probably Drystan with Rebeca in the gym. Kinda sets the tone, doesn't it?
7. What was the most diabolical thing a villainous character of yours did?
Most of my characters are in the morally gray zone, so we'll have two examples at either ends of the scale. Queen Annalise earned her throne by murdering her siblings in single combat and displaying their heads on spikes in her throne room, but in her defence, such was the custom. Meanwhile, Xaldin Nightshade attempted to save a city full of people from an invading army of orcs by using the other PCs mounts as cannonballs dropped from the cargo hold of our airship.
I wasn't very popular that day, but it was so worth it.
8. What was the most heroic thing a heroic character of yours did?
Probably raising a militia army to take back control of a city from the corrupt dictators currently controlling it to replace them with a less corrupt, more democratic but still essentially a dictator,but one that cared about the people.
I did warn you. Morally Gray.
9. What was the craziest thing a character of yours did?
Ho boy. Now, I can't take the credit for all of this, but the event took place during one of many spin-offs from the main Worm campaign I was part of. A battle broke out between Sickle-Cell and his small gaggle of parahuman delinquents - Vegas, a hard-light manipulator, Backdoor, a portal creator which speeds up items passing through, and Gubbins, the Legendary bomb-tinker, making extremely effective futuristic explosives - backed up by another group of parahuman delinquents he was in the process of recruiting - Harlequin, a teleporter wielding two shotguns, Kiriyoukai, a guy who made leather dolls sentient, Pumpkin, some kind of seed-based bio-tinker, and Vadleany, a gravity manipulator who can only affect objects with her power - against The Sisters mentioned earlier.
The 'good' guys were travelling down the road in one of Sickle's many vans usually used to transport blood when they were rudely blown off the road by Charybdis. Gubbins ended up trapped under the truck, and used a shaped explosive charge to free himself and attempt to crush Scylla with the truck. I rolled. He failed. Scylla caught the incoming truck, picked it up, and smashed Vadleany clean over the head with it. Sickle-Cell ran towards Scylla in an attempt to draw her attention. Vegas followed him, muttering about him being an idiot and forgetting about the other Sister, before shielding him with her Light. Backdoor opened a portal through the truck to wave at Scylla.
Then Gubbins got another turn.
He produced a bomb, which our current employer had specifically banned him from using and ordered destroyed, which he can cooked up one night using the hubcaps from the car of The Sister's boss. What this particular bomb did was convert the surrounding air into pure plasma. Now, that's cool, but no different from the likes of a Thermal Detonator in Star Wars. What made this particularly special is the opponent.
Air to plasma.
Air shield.
=D
The bomb hit Scylla, and exploded. What then occurred was the dense air bubble began to rapidly expand due to the plasma conversion, resulting in a miniature nuclear explosion. Scylla was something like 3 points of damage from death, Sickle-Cell and Vegas both took consequences due to the damage they sustained at point-blank range, and the biggest, scariest threats in the city had to run off to lick their wounds.
10. What was your saddest RP moment?
Probably the loss of Tantalus. Drystan is, in my opinion, the superior of the two, but it nevertheless affected me slightly more than I had anticipated when I challenged Giratina. Does that mean I learned from that mistake?
Hahaha.
11. Which of your characters was the weirdest?
My D&D Deva Monk. She was weird mostly because it was my first try playing a heroic character. "Oh my, we must save the children from that burning building!". It was boooooooooriiiiing, and the very reason for my addicting to morally gray, villainous characters. It's why I enjoy building human characters with very human flaws.
Because to make her interesting, she ended up as a raging alcoholic.
12. The funniest?
Nae Mare. I'm Scottish, and making a character who's superpower is the ability to do anything he wants, but just and "Nae Mare!" was far too enticing to not do it.
13. The scariest?
This title has to go to Visage. When dealing with parahuman politics, there are various unwritten rules everyone follows. Mostly to do with real identities and people's family. Visage is a supervillain for hire, who can create horrific, warped versions of the loved ones of those nearby, feeding on their empathetic energy to gain stronger. He does this by reading their thoughts as a secondary power, and will not hesitate to break every rule, unwritten or otherwise, to succeed. Imagine attempting to save a lover while twister versions of them, growing ever stronger as you panic, attempt to tear you apart. Visage himself gained his powers watching a girlfriend melt in a nightclub fire while high on LSD, and is one of the only capes in the city to not bother hiding his face.
14. Which of your characters grew the most during the course of the RP?
Again, probably Sickle-Cell. He went from a single vigilante, to head of a small group of parahumans, to head on an entire militia army paying him in blood tithes for keeping the city safe - by dismembering anyone who tries to dismember anyone else and blowing up most anything else.
15. Which of your characters was the most like you?
...Drystan. Drystan is me with a suaver dress sense, blue hair, a smoking addiction and time powers. Outside of that? Drystan is me =P
16. Least like you?
That godawful Deva monk, whatever her name was.
17. Which of your RP characters was the most challenging for you to play?
Backdoor, because he was exceptionally eccentric and hard to come up with wacky things on the fly when i'd much rather throw snark at people instead.
18. What fandom or genre do you RP with the most?
Worm. If you haven't read it, do so as soon as physically possible. After than, The Dresden Files are another strong candidate. I'd love to do a RWBY Roleplay, but haven't found a good one yet. In terms of settings, Urban Fantasy is cool, as is Sci-fi. I also enjoy some kinds of High Fantasy, but usually those based heavily off of at least one branch of mythology.
That said, I am up for anything as long as i'll have fun. I hate Pokemon, but hey, wouldn't change my time here for the world =P
19. How many RP's have you GM'd, and which was your favourite?
Several. The online ones die. A lot. Probably my fault for timing and not being strict enough in terms of entry requirements, which is why i prefer running local groups and participating in online ones. I'm currently doing a Drystan and taking over the local RP group from the current admins by being the most creative and popular person there.
Which is a bloody shift from my regular life, let me tell ya.
The current campaign is (you guessed it) Worm, and i've actually gotten worried looks from people walking past when my more morbid side of entertainment creeps out since I don't have much in the way of a functional moral radar, so can quite happily describe crime scenes and corpses in great detail. My players, on the other hand, adore it.
I've also taken part in various group Microscope activities with people, mostly Ardent Dawn and friends. Make our own settings and characters on the fly, and that is always fun.
20. Have you ever played a canon character in RP, and if so, what was your favorite experience?
I have not, and never will. If I want to RP a canon character in a setting, i'll boot up steam and play an RPG. Unfortunately, the only one to every really scratch the same itch that roleplaying does - read, where I can simultaneously work towards my goal using primarily the tools of slave labour and sarcasm - was the Mass Effect series.
21. What character type/trope do you enjoy using the most in RP?
Twisted vigilante. I enjoy playing characters with darker natures, hidden pasts and secret agendas. Trying to hide my very human flaws from the other characters is nothing short of absolutely delightful, and makes for great storytelling.
22. Most memorable RP kill?
Well, technically it wasn't the proper RP yet, and he technically didn't die, but the FATE system doesn't allow for many deaths, so it'll do.
The scene was a dirty, MMA-style ring. Sickle-Cell had been invited by one of the local gangs to show off his moves, and for everyone to size up the newcomer to the city. He was going up against a few small-time thugs, however an enemy he had already made bet a whopping half a million on Sickle-Cell to lose. Naturally, not wanting to be undone, Sickle matched the bet on him to win, and promised to pay the initial cost off the winnings. The leader of the faction who had invited him in the first place accepted that offer, and Sickle headed into the ring.
He was pushed into a free-for-all between 4 combatants, including himself, but none of them had powers, so naturally they all ganged up on him. Conscious of his ever-vigilant adversary in the crowd, he was going to win the fight, collect the winnings and do it all without using his powers. A tall order, but he was a trainer fighter before he gained powers, so he fancied his chances. Dispatching the three drug-addled fighters by using the momentum of one against the other two, the true opponent appeared. A massive wrestling reject known as Juggernaut, someone who could put an object into motion and have it stay in motion, negating gravity, but not physical force.
This included himself.
Sickle-Cell fought valiantly, constantly using the momentum against his foe, jamming his head through te bars at one stage. Juggernaut used the fallen bodies of the other combatants as defacto ranged weapons, before charging and snapping several of Sickle-Cell's ribs. He was on the ropes, a mere one hit would end his chances, so with his fate hanging in the balance, he made a choice. He got to his feet, raised his hand...
And gave Juggernaut the finger.
Furious, the Brute charged again, and it took all the willpower he had to dodge out the way despite the burning pain in his lungs. The deafening crash of Juggernaut smashing into the bars beside him rung around the room. He'd taken the bait. Sickle collected a tiny amount of blood running out of a rather nasty-looking protrusion of bone from his chest, formed three two-inch nails in his right palm and slammed his fist down onto Juggernaut's back.
Hard.
The blood nails pierced through Juggernaut's armour, and continued into his lungs. He let out a single pained grunt, and shot a look of shock and horror as he collapsed onto the floor. The room went silent, before erupting into a chorus of cheers, jeers and shouts. Sickle-Cell gave his rival in the crowd a deadpan stare behind his mask, before giving a smirk and wandering off, leaving the steam all-but-visibly pouring from their ears.
23. Most memorable RP death?
Phoenix Queen Annalise of the Flaming Feathers. She was the victim of a political assassination from a rival clan, allowed by one of her own advisers. They never truly knew what hit them, however, when instead of passing her power into her child - as is the custom - she unleashed it all in a single burst of power which erupted a nearby volcano and plunged the entire area under the control of the other tribe ended up an uninhabitable barren wasteland.
24. What is your biggest RP regret?
Not starting it sooner. I tried to take part in a RP on here before which was handled quite badly and full of people that seemed to be missing the point, and it really put me off. If not for Ardent Dawn suggesting to come into this, i'd still be avoiding this site =P
25. What is your proudest moment of RP?
Hands down, beating the persuasive, suave and charismatic character my GM had prepared for me to face in a mental battle with the abrasive, harsh and sarcastic mess that was Sickle-Cell. I rolled so well, that the guy had to retreat from a conversation or begin to take mental consequences. I managed to out-snark an entirely snark based cape to the point where I almost unhinged him. He ended up not being a minor character, and becoming the main villain as a result =P
26. Why do you like RP?
See questions 1=25. That, my friend, is why =P
27. If you had the chance to play one old character again, which would you choose?
Sickle-Cell is an amazingly fun character to play, what with the interesting power, versatile skill set and the like. He's one of the reasons I GM.
Because I make the chances to replay the greats, with all new players in all new ways.
Right, sometimes I don't update everything right as it happens. We haven't had room for any new players since you joined, so I didn't see any reason to worry about it. I'll update it now.
