My friends want to get a guy a keg full of tequila for his 18th party...

I never enjoyed getting drunk. Or buzzed, or whatever you might call it.

Which is a significant problem considering how much I like the taste of alcohol. I end up drinking like Sherlock. Carefully, scientifically, and with calculated amounts of water and food, so even if I do get regrettably drunk, no hangover for me!

DAVEY JONES!

Your first link to metroid actually goes to the IC page for some reason.

I'd just add a couple of things about the immune to weaponry part (garnered from the wiki):
"Sensitivity to certain sonic frequencies" - http://metroid.wikia.com/wiki/Metroid_(species)#Physiology_and_morphology, toward the bottom of the section.
And I imagine that X-Ray lasers can damage them, more-or-less, based off of Samus' use of the Nova beam to kill phazon metroids by aiming at their... nuclei(?). According to the wiki, it's a "high-frequency electromagnetic radiation beam" weapon, which means X-Rays or Gamma rays. Not that, I think, anybody's going to get X-Ray lasers any time soon.

Interesting thing about X-Rays.

They tend to get absorbed, rather than reflected, by mirrors that are at standard angles. So, to make an X-Ray telescope, they use grazing mirrors. X-Ray lasers, therefore, don't have resonators (ususally), which means there's less coherence. This has no relevence to anything whatsoever, I just thought it was fascinating.

Anyway, you're accepted! Throw up an intro post when you're ready.

Not sure if you're buying a cheap-ass keyboard or an expensive-ass m key.

Shipping costs, I'd imagine.

And I generally don't like tea, as it happens. It's still immensly calming.

OOC for A Superpowered War

Just TRY and read this, Aria.

I've got an interesting concept for a character. It's a little different, and if you don't like it, I can change it. I have a backup "tiberium" woman in mind.

---

|Name: Aria
|Age: 19
|Country of Origin: Italy
|Power(s): Dimensional Awareness: Aria's mind is attuned to the electromagnetic spectrum of an alternate dimension (specifically this one). She's been driven mad {I am not mad!} (in everyone else's eyes) by sights of gray rectangles and white text detailing her life and those around her.
|Greek Name: Upsilon
|Appearance: Brown hair, frizzy, curly, and everywhere. 5'4". One green eye, one blue. Often with a far-off, wild-eyed look about her face. Scrawny, like she never eats. {I do too eat!} Dressed in clothing from at least three different styles and decades, little of which matches. She stands out, to say the least.
|Personality: How do I describe Aria? She's funny, sometimes, and poignant at other times. But most of all, she tends to remind me of a lost puppy. {Don't build me up too much, hey?} Honestly! She'll bug me about the most random things sometimes, like going on and on about goggles. {That was one time, thankyouverymuch.} I think maybe Aria's just lonely.
|History: To be honest, she's forgotten much of it, and her superpower's not been much help. {Really‽ That's it‽ Real helpful, thanks.} She's tried to reason with whatever intelligences (or even to determine if there are intelligences) are on the "other side" quite a few times, with mixed results. {Hello?} The first time she witnessed the vision, in fact, she learned little about her past, and then shortly afterward made contact. Erm, hello, by the way. {Holy crap, it worked! That's super freaky, hey? Are you, like, me in a different world?} But the brief contact then ended. {What? No it didn't.}

{Hel-looo?}

{Damnit.}

Occasionally she

Like the information in this hider. Take that, Aria! She was actually born an orphan, and drank meteorite-contaminated water while on a mission trip to help those in need. Powers then developed. Unfortunately, to the vast majority of the population, Aria's attempts at communicating came across as mad ramblings in the street. Not very conducive to hiding at all.

Ever since, Aria's been drifting in a trance-like haze from city to city, arguing with a being no-one else can see or hear. I try to warn her away from government agents (not that she always listens), unless I think it'd be good for her. I suppose that we've become friends. Almost.

Recently, speaking of government agents, she chose not to listen to me and tried to save a stray cat. This cat was bait. So she was captured and experimented upon heavily. These experiments are, in fact, the reason she can't remember much. Aria did manage to escape via striking a deal with one of the middle management men. She'd be their eyes and ears (temporarily, at least), and he wouldn't come after her. Since then, she's been a bit of a freelance agent. Striking deals with governments and people alike has been her number one method of surviving unsurvivable situations.

The lone intelligence admired its handiwork. Not many sentients were involved in this harvest. That suited its purposes for the moment. And if it disagreed with its previous choices, it could always go back and reset the world, and start again. That felt, somehow, like cheating. It would disrupt the experiment. It vowed not to, after all. The lone intelligence felt glee and anticipation. A long time had passed since it had managed to cobble together an experiment. And this one proved no less interesting to it.

In the center of the formation, a towering green crystal sat. It was made of hundreds of hexagonal towers; some were thin as a knife, others were skyscraper-sized. The arid dirt around the formation was cracked and caked, dryer than bones in a desert. On a closer level of inspection, the lone intelligence could see the incredibly slight green haze forming one millimeter from the crystal's surface. Veins of iron, silver, platinum, and copper glinted deep within the formation like frozen smoke.

To the south, a water tower defended a desolate desert town. Nothing moved in the town; all the humans were gone. A general store sat with food still artificially preserved and coke, still cold, in a chest-height refrigerator. The lone intelligence had seen fit to pump in electric power through nano-wormholes connected to the power lines.

To the west, a gaping hole in the ground glowed brightly - deep toward the center of this planet, a magma flare had built and died in a few minutes' time. Hot air shimmered upward above the hole, gradually disappating into the air.

North of the hole, amidst great desert and dunes, a pit ends with a ring of tendrils that wave lazily in the wind. The whole scene appears to be waiting for something, or someone.

Further to the south, beyond displaced moon-scape, a jungle island hums with life. Concrete structures squat, ugly and kitschy, an invader in the mists. The hum of a generator can be heard in the background, providing a steady bass to strange animal roars and growls.

I think updates would be cool.Also, question. How does weather work? Does it differ from hex to hex, or is weather a world wide thing? Or is a mixture of both?

Hmmm. Hexes maintain their native temperature. So arctic hexes stay arctic. Precipitation and wind, however, cross from one hex to another. It works like Minecraft: it's snowing in one hex while in the next it's raining, and there's just heavy fog in the desert one hex over. How does that work? If you dig into it enough, maybe you'll find out. If you don't care and don't look into it, then the answer is "because I said so".

And updates it is, by two votes (okay, so that was a very short polling time, but who cares).

Edit: So I've got most of the center hexes rolling. If you're really very curious about what's happening on a hex, then I can include it in my updates. But I shall, of course, be as vague as I deem necessary until you actually explore said hex.
