Ruuuuudeee!!! Lucy doesn't cry that easily!! Gosh.

The combination of her in-game actions, guild reputation, and recent crushing defeat makes it easy for one to assume she would be a little on the weak side.

[Arrayah]

That's truuue, but still rude :p

I wonder if he'll be surprised by the way she actually is then.

[Lucius Cypher]

Ah, you won't stick with the Ivory Masks Ryo? I even made up a minor CS for the new king!

[Ryonara]

Tempting, but no. I'd like it if Amy could meet someone in at the school to figure out which guild she ought to join however.

[Arrayah]

EVERYONE IS A SWEEPER!!!!! D:<

[Lord Santa]

Hey, maybe this is like the Matrix where everyone could become Mr. Smith, but instead of Mr. Smith, it was sweepers.

[Arrayah]

Sweepers taking over the regs to become more sweepers. That sounds terrible D:

[McFazzer]

There should be a rival group called the 'Dusters' or something! :P

[Arrayah]

Sometimes I wish rpg would let me like a post. Because I would like that one. Twice.

[Lucius Cypher]

They're actually called the "Outlaws", since Sweepers were originally (Or at least they were popularly) known for hunting players who picked on low levels or were generally annoying. PK PKers, in a sense. However now that most of the Sweepers, or at least those who are True Sweepers and not just vignettes, are working with the Ebony Strykers they haven't really been hunting too many Outlaws. Largely due to most of those Outlaws joining up with the Ebony Strykers, and the efforts of Dark Wraith and Moon Rider somehow managing to keep the White Knights from fighting with all the Griefers. Technically everyone could call themselves a Sweeper, but unless you've been given a job by an Eraser, it's all just smoke. There is purposely no solid structure amongst the Sweepers to ensure that not just anyone could claim to be a Sweeper and diverge the secrets of the Erasers, who control them. And even True Sweepers like Donny have their hands too bloodied to risk coming out and revealing Eraser secrets, which even a regular True Sweeper like Donny wouldn't know. Bullet Hell is also a true Sweeper with some skeletons in her closet, so she won't risk trying to ignore a direct order from an Eraser as long as they can black mail her.

[Lord Santa]

So, with all the sweepers gone, there are technically supposed to be a ton of PKers like, everywhere, right? It must be one hell of a bad time for noobs right now.

[McFazzer]

Quickly, while on the subject of Bullet Hell. Is she going to be a whole new character? Or just a fleshed out NPC?

Oh yeah. The only other thing; most of those PKers work for the Ebony Strykers now. Fight for the strongest side and all that. Things like Arms Slaves Mayhem riders is actually a good thing for Outlaws and Sweepers, cause it's sort of like a group-bonding exercise. Arms Slave is pretty much trying to pull a Genghis Gambit, which Dark Wraith is quite aware of, and hence why she wants to make sure the Ivory Masks are still stable-ish.

Likely just a sort of NPC; she's technically a "Player" character, but her real life player probably won't need to be known. Like, even though she's suppose to be the new "White King", she's not going to answer the calls of alliance with the other guild leaders, and barring the chance that an Eraser calls her up to do a hit, she won't have much real-life impact either. Her only importance is in Deep Ground, so she'll only get a CS that deals with Deep Ground. If she somehow becomes more popular, I might flesh her out some more.

Yes, yes. Put up your Titanpad. Collab so I can ruin all of your lovely machinations and plans in one precise post....
