@Sniblet

is the epithet Basilisk a reference to Roko's Basilisk?

So I think Matteo is a fine character and his nanomachines should fit in just fine as well. However, I have concerns that the scale of his Plane and his forces is mismatched to basically everyone else, and possibly the story at large. I remember our discussion in the Int Check, where you had assumed that a Plane was basically a planet, and I said that they were as big as they needed to be. So I don't fault you for running with that logic, and as ever I don't want to say "no," but I am basically wondering how you see your character fitting into this story. What relevancy does an army of dragons, or a cabal of assassins have in the face of a fleet of starships in orbit ready to bomb the fuck out of everything? I hope you can see my dilemma here, and I am interested to hear your thoughts.


Yep, this is why I said I thought I would need to scale back on my plans.

I could pretty easily remove the space armada part of his sheet; in fact it would make more sense to remove it than keep it based on his lore. In his plane, space travel didn't really exist until he invented the ability to fold space because the distances involved made it untenable; therefore none of the other planets in his plane should have the kind of defenses that would cause him to need a fleet of warships.

Transport ships and research ships would still be needed, because he can't just warp from planet to planet; his tech allows for relatively short jumps ("short" on an interstellar level anyway), but travel between worlds is still going to take weeks or months. So no planetary bombardments, but the whole spacefaring thing is a core part of thr character that I'd rather not remove if possible.

@King Cosmos What if when Matteo was beginning his experiments with spaceflight/space folding, that was when he discovered the other Planes and was contacted by Chaos? Like we was on the cusp of one breakthrough, but made an entirely different, more urgent one as a result of it, leading to his armada-construction going on hold.

Sure, that works. I'll update the sheet.

@Khandov Sorry for the silence, been working on the IC on and off for the last week and a half. Life keeps getting in the way of making a large, complex intro post. But I haven't forgotten.

Actually think I will call this one closed, unfortunately I had a lot of additional responsibility dumped on me right after this starting getting up off the ground, and I clearly don't have the energy to do this justice. Thanks, all, for your time, and I'll be in touch.

Would you be open for someone else to take up GMing this? Perhaps more than one person?

@Khandov Maybe? If you wanted to start your own RP with a similar concept, I couldn't say no to that.

@Khandov @Dead Cruiser

I would love to help you GM a similar RP to this one. Or at the very least I would love to be able to roleplay an interdimensional villain. Or I could make my own RP with a similar premise to this one.
