Jeremiah was a soldier.
Key Word - 'was'
I basically wrote about his fall from grace as he turned from an albeit gung-ho warrior into a genocidal warlord. He knew what he did was wrong, but it was okay since it was always for Aurenstrauss, his country. I think what really made him deplorable however was the fact that he honestly wasn't that bad of a guy. He just got caught up making moral compromises that led to bigger ones until he was slaughtering crowds of civilians and burning harbors.

So, if anyone cares why I dissapeared for about two months, basically breakups suck. Note that I didn't say "women suck" since that would be false. This is in no means supposed to be a women bashing or a men bashing thread.
I got this idea off another board and basically you post the first name of who she/he is and why they got away. Who is she/he? She/he is the one that got away. The one that lingers in your mind. The one whose name has been sitting at the top of your tongue. The one whose hugs still feel warm.
You know who they are.
To provide an example, I'll go first.
Name - Nichole
Why - I was too daft to catch a hint. I pushed when I should of pulled and asked when I should of listened. By the time I realized it, she was already gone.

Yup, Angelo is pretty dead since Reddo handed him Cole's Tome.
And nah, I like this ending for Cole. Bloody, violent, and brief.
And nah, I like this ending for Cole. Bloody, violent, and brief.
As Cole was knocked out, the Librarian had chose to ignore one minisculr detail. Cole's Tome had been running since even before the interrogation in Angelo's possession. The sickeningly fresh vapor had not only seeped into Angelo's clothing and belongings, but into his skin itself.
Thirty seconds at the construction site.
A few minutes for the hotel and Capital roof.
Two seconds for Alex.
And now a few dozen minutes of travel and almost ten minutes in Angelo's pocket.
If he had not struck Cole so hard, perhaps the outcome would of changed. If Cole had not been on the verge of death already from the acts of the previous day, it wouldn't of mattered. But Cole's body was worn ragged, and already on it's last straws. It was a box of gunpowder that just needed one spark. Angelo unknowingly provided that spark.
Cole's life ended with that blow to the temple and so did everyone else's life in the sewer. Perhaps Reddo and Eddie may escape with just severe burns and mutilated limbs which was certainly reparable by today's technology. But Angelo, the leader would have no such luck for he had held onto it for far too long.
The tunnels suddenly roared into another onslaught of flames and a certain rebel leader was most certainly reduced to ashes. Thus ending the Legacy of Cole.
A man, who in one day, both blew up part of the base of the Ultimatum and the seemingly untouchable Librarian himself.
And was finally reunited with Silvia. So perhaps it was a happy ending for him, though we cannot say for sure the same thing about what's left of "The Librarian".

Cole looked dully at Angelo as the questions droned on.
"First of all, that wasn't a threat. It was a promise. You want to know who I am but I want to know what it matters to you? I'm the guy that fucked your mother and left the ugly bastard child that's asking a million questions if that satiates your curiosity. Also known as Cole. Why did I blow up the capital? I dunno, again, what's it to you? I thought you Librarian types didn't like the Unity anyways. Maybe I was just bored."
"Where would I rather end up? Certainly not tied to a chair, sweetheart, if that's what you mean."
Cole's usual polite demeanor had given way to something with a reptile's heart. This was the side of Cole that murdered shopkeepers, exploded hotels and construction sites, and lied to Justicars.
"Oh, I'm sorry. You must be expecting something more subservient."
His tone transformed again into a surprisingly real sounding hysteria, perhaps aided by his psychopathy and broken mind.
"Please, oh please Mr. Librarian! Let me go! I'm just a poor child whose sis got shot by the mean ole Unity officers! I never meant to hurt anyone, I just want to go home to mommy and daddy and tell them how sorry I am for murdering all those people! Please, oh please, let me go or whatever shall I do?"
"Better?" Cole snarled as he wiped his alligator tears on his shirt.

Where are they taking me? Just focus on breathing, just focus on breathing steady as not to alert them

Cole was a heavy sleeper but he was not the type to sleep through a kidnapping. The rope had dug into his wrists and already began to burn his already tender skin. If Cole had been counting the footfalls and voices adequately, there were only two initially carrying him but now there was a third party. Which was an unexpected but welcome turn of events. After all, Cole still had one ace up his sleeve.
Whether it were intentional or not, the jostling involved in his kidnapping must have somehow put pressure against the Tome's button and activated it for Cole could begin to smell the sickeningly familiar fragrance that was usually followed by grisly deaths. The others most likely wouldn't notice it for a while as they had been constantly moving until now, and the dank tunnel air smothered all other aromas.
But Cole knew that it was there, so he wasn't going to go into this interrogation completely helpless. Someone reached into Cole's pockets and took the Tome away, but it was already too late. It had been activated and only Cole knew how it shut off. All it would take now is another careless push, reckless manuaver, or his death to send all of them sky high.
So when Cole decided to open his eyes, he absorbed the situation not as a prisoner but rather as the warden. Two guys, one girl, typical interrogation set up. He knew they weren't part of the Unity due to the fact that the Unity would of sent swarms of troops to apprehend him so he had to assume the next logical guess. Which was the Librarians.
"So, I trust you have a good reason for interrupting my sleep?" Cole yawned, much in the same antagonistic fashion he treated Alex. "Of course you don't though, you three chaps are much too stupid or you would have killed me while I slept."
"I'm going to make this brief. I'll play along, answer a few questions if I feel like it, and then we can all go home. You guys can all go tell your boss what good little lapdogs you are and I won't blow your legs off. I really don't feel like fighting since it's been a pretty long day and I'm tired. I am begging you, however, with bags under my eyes; don't fuck with me. If you do, I will bury every last one of you."
Cole didn't realize that he was threatening the Librarian himself and two of his top lieutanents, so his swagger and confidence was entirely undiminished by Angelo's personal presence.
Temper, temper Jangel. What happened to your "honor"? Angelo doesn't even know he has the right guy, all they found was a burned hobo with a Tome.
We weren't atagonizing anyone, saying "we" and "us" is generally frowned upon since there has to be a level of disassociation from your character. After all, it makes no sense to say "we" when you consider that your character doesn't even exist.
We were just discussing, perhaps chiding if you want to draw it out that far, Angelo's blurred line between 1st and 3rd person. But even then, there was nothing antagonistic. Just professional criticism, not meant to be taken personally.
You're saying I'm criticizing your style because I'm the "good guy", but would you consider Cole "good"?
No, that's just an excuse to dismiss any argument that opposes yours.
You signed up to play as the "antagonist". Your "antagonist" may have noble goals, but you knew when you signed up you were playing as the antagonist. There is no other perspective to it.
TL;DR - Quit taking everyone's criticisms so personally and you are playing the antagonist.

^ Exactly
You can ask Superfly or Azathoth (members of a RP I was in before the old guild self destructed), I play a pretty goddamn mean villain ^^;
Does that mean that IRL I go around chopping off limbs, slaughtering villages, and blowing up buildings? No.
But that was my character's role. He was the 'Big Bad'. Sure, there were moments in the RP where others would comment that they actually felt sorry for my character since he had such a dejected past but overall, my character was a homicidal maniac beyond redemption. Jeremiah 'Stonewall' Knox had no reservations when it came to generally fucking shit up, and in the end, the RP was so good that we all still keep in touch to this day. One of the reasons the RP was so fun though, and we all agree, is that I truly played a villain in that RP. I held back no punches and I think I even chopped off another player's arm in that RP (Though I don't remember for sure so don't quote me on that particular detail).
So I played the part. Same thing in this RP. I knew I was going to do a chaotic neutral/evil character so I let him make some morally ambiguous choices that I would never even consider in real life.
