[OOC] Over the Ages Episode 1: All that Remains

[Zaresto]

I'll make my character once the Magic part of the Codex is complete.

[The Omnipotent Sphere]

@Zarkun If you're going to play as a seven thousand year old immortal responsible for shaping the history of the earth I don't think having been Leonidas is going to overwhelm you.

[WilsonTurner]

Aye, I think all our characters would belong in an asylum if they were normal humans. Undoubtedly, each of our characters would have a psychopathic genocidal side, since all the deaths/murders/etc over the years of human history would drive a normal, sane man completely mad.

[Lord Wyron]

@Whoami Hey, surprise, surprise but I have another question I'd like to ask :P How would the Immortal's age work? Like physically? Would they age normally (if far slower) on a physical level then, upon death/revival be young again, or how would that work? And if that's mentioned in the OP and I missed it, do tell me. I have a tendency of skimming things at time if not careful xD

@The Omnipotent Sphere

This is probably true, but there's also a certain level of expectation that goes with being the King who held Thermopylae against the Persian force for days. Just don't feel I could live up to that.

[The Omnipotent Sphere]

@Zarkun I'm just saying that if your character hasn't been responsible for more significant events than the battle of Thermopylae in a lifetime longer than current human civilization, then he's not living up to his full potential.

[ethanjory]

I've been following the OOC closely, and based on the changes made, it no long holds any interest for me. I hope the rest of you have fun, and best of luck.

@Ghost Shadow

Immortals stop aging from the point they are granting immortality. Simply put, if you are granted at the age of 30, you're 30 for the rest of your life.

Also, regarding the mental stability of immortals, this is why they spend time with Sempra-Tor to reflect on their and learn after death, so hey aren't driven batshit crazy.

[Zarkun]

I'm willing to bet someone will try to make a batshit crazy Immortal anyways.

[Lord Wyron]

It's an interesting concept, come to think of it lol. Someone who's lived and died enough times to snap their psyche. Therapy can only do so much. Not saying I'll do it, but it's definitely not out of the realm of possibility for an immortal with intense PTSD

[WilsonTurner]

What if they were batshit crazy to begin with?

[Lord Wyron]

Well now that would be fun XD

[Zarkun]

I would think that some level of mental clarity is necessary for becoming an Immortal to minimize collateral or something like that.

@Zarkun

What does "minimize" mean?

[The Omnipotent Sphere]

@WilsonTurner To reduce a variable to the minimum acceptable amount, given a set of parameters.

"By opening a factory in China and reducing the quality of our components, we've minimized costs!" - American CEO

"By only providing air support to the beleaguered nation, we've minimized our own military casualties!" - General

[Zarkun]

<Snipped quote by Zarkun>

What does "minimize" mean?

@WilsonTurner

If Sempra-Tor says only kill X number of humans though y means, that's all that need to die. A batshit crazy guy might just get kill happy.

[Xilaw]

Maybe I missed it, but what happens to the body of a killed Immortal and where does he respawn after two days?

Oh, and interested.

[WanderingSpirit]

I been follow ing the OC and it looks interesting. I'll probably make a character when the magic part of the lore is completed

[DMZ]

So, what tech level are we dealing with?

[WilsonTurner]

So, what tech level are we dealing with?

@DMZ

Really bloody advanced, that's the level.
