[OOC] Return to the Multiverse

[Prostagma]

Wow, seven whole comics.

Wow, seven whole comics.

@Prostagma

wow, an unrelated comment to a discussion. And i own seven of them, i've read many more AND know his whole history.

[rawkhawk64]

I vote no. Ajax just wants a good one-on-one fight. Let him have it, imo. Besides, it's less about being a lone wolf and more of an honor and glory thing. Victory is sweet, yes. However, it's much sweeter if you achieve it on your own.

[Prostagma]

Hardly unrelated when you brought it up. Speaking of on-topic, though:

oh, okay, let me just autokill your character and see how happy you feel.

@JonxlatheLion

So are we backing out on this or are you going to teleport behind my guy and unsheath your katana? It'll be pretty simple and makes logical sense; she's a small child, she's not very bright, she's currently distracted, and she's pretty fragile to boot. Oh, but keep in mind if you do people have got free reign to do the same, but seeing as you're a regenerator that shouldn't be a problem.

@rawkhawk64

yes, yes, we've touched this already. I do agree, it's just Deadpool is probably going to have some words with him once they're in cyberspace. I hope that a character getting angry at another character for trying to kill him isn't considered 'childish and dissapointing'

@JonxlatheLion

What 'words'? Ajax didn't even do anything to Deadpool. DP teleported in, shouted a bunch of curse words and threw around some explosives, then teleported out.

[JonxlatheLion]

no, ajax threw a mighty big sound-barrier punch while screaming like a banshee at deadpool, deadpool teleported out the way, then left.

@JonxlatheLion

Well maybe Deadpool shouldn't have gone in the space between our heavy ordinance and the target.

[JonxlatheLion]

He didn't. He was to the side of ajax, out of the way.

[Zero Hex]

So, long post, I stepped out for a walk after posting IC, have to take advantage of any day where the weather isn't balls. Now. Let me start by defining Ajax's mentality here. Imagine, if you will, that your entire life has been about the fight. You were raised as a boxer by your father, were sold to an underground bloodsport arena after your father died where you had to fight unarmed against man and beast alike, escaped to another continent and survived a series of semi-standard fantasy adventures up until a high level, entirely as a fighter. And you enjoy this, you wish your life had not turned sour but you enjoy the thrill of the fight, of pitting the strength of your own body against any adversary, any obstacle, and coming out on top. It's the ultimate feeling of power, of superiority. After a while, things that used to give you a run for your money start being less of a challenge. Things that you would've considered impossible become commonplace. You're left with no adversary, no test, no thrill. You avenge yourself on those who killed your father and sold you off to slavery but it still doesn't feel right, there was no adversity, you're happy that you got it done but wish they'd put up more of a fight. You start being worshipped as a god because of your strength, and your opponents dwindle to nothingness. It's like a junkie who can't get his fix anymore. Eventually you live to grow older, cross dimensions, and still no fight worth having. And then you run into someone whose entire thing is power. He is blessed by the greatest manifestation of strength in his world. He has conquered the land, all of it, bent it to his whims with nothing but power. It's not the same kind of power you have, it's something more obviously magical, but it is still very much in line with what you have seen and done. You have, at last, found a challenge. And you don't want this fight to be tarnished, not by anything in the world, so you wait. If he were to be bested, then perhaps he was not the fight you sought. You wait until you get your chance. You hold up a belt that symbolizes your every achievement in combat as a challenge. And then someone steps in and starts ruining everything, and then you get a buffoon who teleports in and putzes around in the middle of your moment of glory, of the time you FINALLY get to have a worthwhile fight after ages of nothing. It's like some dipshit trying to do standup about airplane food and interrupting a desperate alcoholic from getting to his favorite bottle, while someone else uncorks it and takes a swig. Yeah, Ajax is hella mad. Deadpool and Alpha are ruining a moment he's been waiting all too long for and Deadpool was actually right there, touching him and talking to him. So he took it out on him first.

__________________________________________________________________________________

So, how's that for characterization? Now, on to the other matters. I was under the impression that instahits, ignoring them and doing your own thing was how we operated here. I mean it's basically how the fights with the bosses have gone. The bosses which the GM/owner stressed were to be "challenging" and which you yourself have entirely controlled the actions of at least one Volvagia spawn while Deadpool kills it dead. As for the punch, you realize how fast a right straight is? And one that broke the sound barrier and damaged the entire surrounding area from the shockwave? But whatever, it's well within Deadpool's abilities to teleport out of the way because teleporting. Or I suppose he could've regenerated from a pair of legs because apparently he can do that here, but you went with teleportation rather than take the chance to be funny. Hell, from an IC perspective, Ajax would've been impressed with someone who could regenerate from that. Still a shitter but at least a durable one. Anyway, the shockwave damaged the entire area, pushed the magma around, cracked the platform, the sheer rock walls of the pit and the still-sinking castle, as well as caused an actual, honest to goodness sonic boom that should've probably burst Pool's eardrums, which he could then regenerate from but still. Because when your main power is being physically overpowering for a setting where "otherwise broken characters are commonplace", that means you do absurd shit when you cut loose. Did I miss any points?

@Zero Hex

Well, see, i don't take every chance to be funny with deadpool. He cracks his jokes and does funny things, but as i believe bee said, he's not a pincushion of slapstick events. I, as a person, wasn't too upset with the whole situation. I was ticked off a little at the instahit, but since you didn't actually toss his remaining legs into the lava in your post, i really did not mind too much. I just took a less time-consuming route (if he had taken the hit it would have been a good hour before he was back up). Trust me, ajax will have many more reasons to punch deadpool into numerous body parts because of him being stupid. Lots of people will. Lots of people have done it. Buuuut don't be surprised if he bites your ear or something. He'll likely make a hilarious reference to pop culture in the process of getting you back.

[Zero Hex]

So uh, hey, @grandsword, is Alpha going to fight Hatter? Do you want me to try and have something push Alpha away from the fight rather than have everyone team up on the one guy?

[grandsword]

No. He's fighting hatter.

[grandsword]

Y'all wanna see mad hatter get a Lou thesz, gimmie a hell yeah!

[SgtEasy]

So uh, wow. Is fighting a really common thing? And because I think my question for feedback on my CS is getting buried here, feedback?

[grandsword]

I like it, though you'd have to ask someone else on the warhammer stuff.

[SgtEasy]

I like it, though you'd have to ask someone else on the warhammer stuff.

@grandsword

Thanks, I was worried he may be a bit overpowered, even with the warning about the lack of overpowered characters in the rp

[grandsword]

Meh. OP is subjective. Especially since we've got peeps getting red misted in the first world. That should be a third world problem, at best. Oh, snap~

[Prostagma]

Could use more 40k stealth rule shenanigans, to be honest. Isn't really an Eldar unless it can conceal itself and an entire platoon of mechs behind a couple of largish rocks.

@Prostagma

The conceal power and his psychic powers may suffice for now. If I can recall, Eldrad can control someone's vision. Correct me if I'm wrong
