[OOC] The War of the Three

[TheWendil]

@Lmpkio

Here's what I've decided; as stated in a previous IC post, a collab with you and KoL no less, the new TEP base was stated to be in the city of Hyperion. As KoL said, it is Graf's old warehouse. For the sake of not going back and mass editing, I'm going to say the TEP base/Graf's warehouse is located in the outskirts of Hyperion. There is a wasteland but there are also city portions as well, making it half and half; do bear in mind I will not be so lenient with blatant forgetting where locations should be in the future.

@Inner Demon

Pretty much what KoL said. Zak has a very real chance of being captured by Machina now and not participating in the next battle due to his actions. I hope you're prepared for that outcome if it occurs.

[BCTheEntity]

So a friend linked me to this game, and after taking a look around, I've come up with a character concept. Specifically, I'm wondering about making a harpy, since I was told they've had a mildly storied history of slavery in-game, yet I don't see very many harpy characters in the Characters tab. Seems like a niche that needs filling. The friend also mentioned a destroyed Machina factory, KC-00032, which I could perhaps incorporate into the character's backstory and powerset... just a thought.

[Inner Demon]

@KoL :S yes mam

@TheWindelThank you thank you thank you! I was ready to tightrope without a net anyway. Wouldn't be totally fun if there wasn't a chance of running into a actual raid boss. As long as Zak gets to keep going on his adventure!

Also don't blame @Lmpkio too much. I may have seduced him via private message so this wasn't his fault. I was just asking him if he knew where Zak could find a few things and it turned into "Hey, wanna adventure some stuff?" "Sure!" So blame me if anyone.

@BCTheEntity

Welcome. Show us your ideas and we'll see how it can fit into the established lore.

[KoL]

@Inner Demon

Zac continuing or not on his adventures will depend on what happens to him right now. His choice wasn't the smartest one, so it's may end up having consequences, just as we said.

[Inner Demon]

@KoLGreat things never came from staying in comfort zones. ;]

[BCTheEntity]

@TheWindel Well, I've been informed that a male harpy is only born once every hundred years or so. That in mind, I was thinking I could make a male harpy, but have him be rather old to avoid conflicting with Syphax's birth date. Maybe a few hundred years or so, if that's alright? The catch, however, is that until the enslavement of his race, he didn't really do anything of worth for his race, essentially being a low-level soldier or what have you; with his enslavement, however, came experimentation upon him with... for now, let's call it demonically-corrupted Machina technology, in an effort to do terrible things to his body and mind. That, shall we say, worked as intended.

Essentially, the guy's intelligence is massively increased, and he's mutated to have four wings rather than the usual two, amongst other minor physical improvements; but he goes pretty batshit crazy as a result. Not that that helps him escape without assistance, necessarily, but with time and crazy, it occurs to him that the nature of the Nexus and associated realms has a degree of metaphysicality that can be messed with for greater effect than mere physical technology, starting with repurposing the item that gave him such insight once he's finally freed. Thus begins his journey over the past few months into extreme body modification - weird bits of tech are stolen or otherwise acquired, reverse-engineered, and implanted into his body, including a bunch of Machina stuff from KC-00032, but also including angelic and demonic technology and/or biomods as needed. I figure, amongst other things, that could include physiological changes that alter the appearance of his wings between the three factions, which would be a pretty cool aesthetic in my mind.

[TheWendil]

@BCTheEntity

What allegiance would your character be loyal to. Because it sounds like a composite of all three Factions.

[BCTheEntity]

@TheWindel Well, harpies are generally aligned with Heaven as a race, so I'd have to imagine he'd be aligned the same way. He'd certainly not stick with Hell, given that it was likely a demon or twenty who did all that experimentation and mind-warping on him.

*Just wakes up*



Ok, right... let's see if I understand what's going on.

Also hi @BCTheEntity, I remember you from the Three Realms War before I signed myself out. Welcome!

@TheWindel

That's more or less what my idea is regarding the base as a whole... I know that TEP's new base is by Machina HQ (I just forgot the name of the location, but yes I meant Hyperion), and while it'll be slightly farther away from Hyperion, it still connected to it. However, exact location wise, I can accept full-logically that it's in Graf's old warehouse. After all, its not like TEP just built themselves a new one within a short amount of time.

Also don't blame @Lmpkio too much. I may have seduced him via private message so this wasn't his fault. I was just asking him if he knew where Zak could find a few things and it turned into "Hey, wanna adventure some stuff?" "Sure!" So blame me if anyone.

@Inner Demon

Yeah I kinda just went with it. Again, I believe we should've both let you know, especially Demon, about the plan at hand.

[BCTheEntity]

@Lmpkio And good to see you too. Here's hoping we have an enjoyable time of things.

[KoL]

@BCTheEntity

Your idea seems considerably complex and we already have a lot of hybrid characters in the RP, actually more than we have of pure "single type" ones. I can't say for sure if I'll approve of it or not before taking a proper look what what you do with your character's backstory/powers.

That said, I can say that a simpler character would be much easier welcome than a complex interfaction composite. Also, you are more or less free to work with Harpy lore (especially in Syphax's regards, since he's not relevant anymore). It was never an official thing that us GMs did. As long as you all can reach an agreement, that's ok on our side.

[Inner Demon]

@LmpkioSame plan just bigger snakes at the bottom of the pit.

@BCTheEntityAlso welcome and/or welcome back ^^

I mean, it's a blade made out of holy light. Maggots or not that's going to hurt. Probably going to send him on KoL's thing though. It sounds interesting.

So the recent bit with the asteroids has got me wondering about something. What is outer space like in the Nexus? Is there an entire galaxy out there or us it more of a giant planet with a bit of void surrounding it.

Not planning on doing anything with it. Just curious from a worldbuilding standpoint.

[The 42nd Gecko]

@Silvan Haven You asking about space makes me giggle.

[Lonewolf685]

@Silvan Haven

Well Ananta will be in the park if he wants something light hearted, as Suparna has moved on, if he wants.

There is indeed a galaxy with inhabited planets and stuff, but not much reason to go out there. You could do that and conquer a planet if you wanted, but that's up to you.

@Silvan Haven

The Nexus is a whole pocket universe, if that's what you want to know, theoretically it's infinite in itself. Imagine it like walking in the inside 3D surface a of a huge, huge, huge 4D sphere and you shall be more or less in the right track of mind, to understand it.

The nexus is all wibbly wobbly.

@Silvan Haven

By the way, I really don't suggest you have Saef join Zac. There's a big chance that Zac will be captured and forced stay out of the next battle. If don't want to share this fate, it's recommended that you stay safe in the downtime.

@Silvan Haven

The easy answer is there is space, but nothing out there worth going to.
