[NEXUS] OoC 11: The Misadventures Continue...
Due to general agreement between people on both sides of the line, TOWN and ACRO have been merged. Thus, all threads which previously would have fallen in once category or another, should now be tagged [NEXUS].
LONG LIVE THE NEXUS!
:wink:
So, what is Nexus?
Spoiler
Show
Well, the Nexus itself is like a rift, a single, brilliant point where all the universes in this strange thing we call 'reality' meet. Traveling to, from, and between any world or cosmology is theoretically possible here, and the Nexus itself seems to encourage this happening, often sucking beings and locations out of other universes at random, and dumping them on the world that lies at its center. It was not always like this, however. Once there were two worlds at the Nexus' heart, separate and distinct, though somewhat similar in ways. Similar enough that they slowly and eventually merged, so that only one remained. Here in this world the Nexus' influence reigns supreme, and as such the world has defied almost all attempts at classification. Here, knights of old may engage with Jedi knights. Gleaming spaceships land in Dark Age hamlets. Cowboys and samurai quest together to find holy sandwich boxes. And in the heavens above, Xi Wangmu and the Flying Spaghetti Monster meet every Woden's Day to play bowls with Pelor (it gets pretty epic). Here the possibilities are endless, and the universe without rules (except the Forum Rules, and the general FFRP rules, and the Individual Thread Rules, and oh whatever). Welcome to Nexus. Fun is had here.
Major Locales
Spoiler
Show
For an endless world that defies all logic and classification, Nexus can be pretty darn consistent at times. As such, several locations have survived the test of time, remaining (somewhat) constant amidst the chaos of the rest of the world.
Inside - Inside mostly resembles a modern city, with high-rise buildings and apartments, alleyways and roads, though the odd Demonic Monument can still be seen rising up above the surrounding suburb, teeming with dark cultists. Inside is the current seat of the Acronymian Empire, which controls much of the surrounding area.
Outside - If you ain't Inside, you're OUTSIDE! :smallamused: Simple as that. Outside is a meta-thread for all those wildernessy type areas that don't merit their own threads, be it wood or lake or tiny shack.
ACRONYMS - Home to adventurers, these complexes provide headquarters and occasionally living space for like-minded Player Characters. Invariably equipped with cheesy names, these structures provide a place for their various members to fight crime, cause chaos, or anything of the sort. Current Acronyms include:
- AMEN - Association for the Malicious, Evil and Nefarious. Evil aligned organization, exists to be EVIL! And sometimes Ebil.
- HALO - Heroic, Anti-evil and Lawbreaking Organization. Non-Evil aligned organization, exists to smite wrong-doers.
- GLoG - Good League of Good. Good aligned organization, exists to redeem evil-doers.
- LANTERN - Lawful Awesome Not-Neutral Truthful Anti-Evil Respectable Nothing Else. Good-Aligned group dedicated to fighting evil and crime of anysort. They also use power rings, and is a supeteam led by Maxios.
- NO - Neutralist Oganization. Neutral aligned organization, exists to perform mercenary contracts for other organizations and individuals in the Nexus without taking sides
- WATCHTOWER - You Know What? Screw It. Non-aligned aligned organization. Exists to destroy threats to Nexus, whatever form they may take.
- SAINT - Society of Assassins, Infiltrators, Ninja, and Terrorists. Assasin's guild, located in Riverside.
- PACK - Perfectly Acceptable College for Kids. The local Nexus school. Class has pretty much never been in session, though...
The Taverns
What kind of vaguely DnD-esque adventurer would you be if you didn't visit one of these places at least once? The various Taverns, Grills, Hotels, Cantinas and Restaurant provide meeting places for the Player Characters, areas for quest givers to stand mysteriously in, and also places for people to eat and spend the money they seem to have infinite amounts of. Though there are a vast number of such places in Nexus, some with their own thread and some without, throughout history three major hubs have existed, without which Nexus as we know it wouldn't exist. The Dancing Fox Inn, which is located in What used to be Town but is now another part of the Inside.
Taverna Generica, which is located near Inside's more NPC inhabited areas. Finally, there is
Trog's Tavern, which is located, maddeningly enough, at every corner of the Nexus at the same time. There is also the
Black Dragon's Den, it's located roughly between the docks and the slums of Inside, and is the local hive of scum and villainy.

Re: [NEXUS] OoC 11: The Misadventures Continue...
I got a bunch of things.
Like a Bamboo Pad. I can now draw badly on my computer without a scanner!
And then I bought that new Golden Sun game. And played it for about five hours. :smalleek:
And now I have a 5 hour plane ride to West Virginia, and then a 2 hour car ride to my Grandma's house. :smallsigh:
Merry Christmas.

Re: [NEXUS] OoC 11: The Misadventures Continue...
I got something really useful: A wireless mouse! For some reason, I go through computer mice really quickly by damaging the cable. Now all I need are wireless headphones...
Also chocolate, books, clothes but surprisingly no PC games this year. I must use the money from the cards to buy some to add to my (very large) collection of games I don't play. But there's a chance the new game will be enjoyable and fun, so I'll play it more
On an unrelated note, I doubt I'll be here tomorrow, and I might not be on usual time because I'm on now.

Re: [NEXUS] OoC 11: The Misadventures Continue...
I got Mass Effect, a bike computer, a new cup and a shirt. As well as some sweets and fruit. No Kindle or anything like that for me.

Ooh, I have one of those too! I draw semi-decent, but the pressure sensitivity don't work since I lost the installation disc and it isn't installed on my art computer :smallfrown:
But I'm also getting an X-box once I get home so I don't complain :smalltongue:
Got a lot of books and games already...

You should never have to apologize for going to do something else.

Merry Christmas, all!
In celebrations, I got a computer game, a music cd, sketching things, origami paper and designs, a calender, cards, headphones, dice, coffee, a sweater, a book, and an awesome necklace.
I gave out some purchased things: a calender, a mug, a box, a bracelet, a clock, a glass apple, a book, a model, etc.
And I gave out some things that I made: some gem trees, some practice poi, three plush yersisia pestis bacteria, a carved wooden corgi, a different clock, etc.
And there you go iElf. Though as I'm at family house, I may vanish with little warning.

Already does everything he wants to do? Has fun just doing his job? Perfectly content? How do you corrupt someone who has everything he could possibly want?
And there's that whole dead angel thing.
Suppose he could ask for Misaki to come back for Thanksmas or something, though that has nothing to do with corruption...

Definitely not corruptible then.

Party applications are still open. Provided your character isn't too homicidal odds are they'll be accepted.
Before anyone asks, we already have a pseudo bouncer. No, I'm not going to tell you who. That's the entire point of a pseudo bouncer.

This is still Rae's funeral/leadership attainment party, right?
If so, Crae and Trilby should probably be on the list. Crae because he's Rae's clone and Trilby because he's Rae's cat. Or was. He's also Coolkid's little animal bro, so that should get him a definite spot.

I'd have no problem with it. There wouldn't be much in the way of requirements. Dress nice I suppose.
-
Re: [NEXUS] OoC 11: The Misadventures Continue...
If you want to be one of Aunt Riley's humans, then I can't think of any restrictions except that you wouldn't be from Riverside and be mentally dominated by her. So you wouldn't be there because you were afraid to escape, you'd be there because it wouldn't occur to you to, even though you could become a meal at any time. But of course, something could always break the domination and allow you to come to your senses and realize "holy boop! I could become a meal at any time!" :smalleek:
Or you could be Jenny or Heidi, who are Riley's personal servants (no, not in /that/ way :smallyuk:) and so off-limits for being nommed.

Of course. It's also a COOL party, because anyone who wields a blue lantern ring doesn't seem like they'd want DESPAIR to be the theme of their going out.
Any song suggestions from you would be pretty cool as well, being partly your party and all.

at the rate this may go, i'll probably play several servants in the manor, if this is ok with people

Yeah, Rae really would have wanted his death to inspire hope in people, so having a more upbeat funeral would probably be best.
As for music, as I've said before, I have horrible tastes. I suggested the felt already, so I'm pretty much out of ideas.

It's not like there's a body to desecrate, and if Rot tried anything funny he'd have most of LANTERN and a (probably) still pissed off Crae to deal with. So yeah, as long as he doesn't act up much, it should be fine.

Re: [NEXUS] OoC 11: The Misadventures Continue...
So, new Lantern thread.
I changed quite a bit, but given how much has changed since the last thread, it seemed to me like it'd be okay. New base, no current leader, no stated method of membership...
I figure there is still stuff to add, and I've got some ideas I'm already writing up, but I wanted to get up the new building description and the thread so we could have our dedicated area to roleplay.
If anyone really objects to something, just say so.

Re: [NEXUS] OoC 11: The Misadventures Continue...
I saw that. It looks good. Maybe having the basics of each ring colour would be good. Like the old thread, just the emotion (or whatever) attached to each colour.

I was lazy and linked to the Green Lantern Wiki in the FAQ. People can look there instead, right? :smalltongue:

Or you could link to the power ring article on the DC wiki, as that has links straight to the pages of each ring.

So does the one I linked to in the FAQ.
Mine also is organized better, I think (the rings are at the top of the page). I added a link to the DC wiki too though.

Re: [NEXUS] OoC 11: The Misadventures Continue...
Ah, I didn't see that. I assumed it was just a link to the Green Ring page because of the text, my bad. As far as I can see, both wikis have the exacts same information, so feel free to remove the other link if you'd like.
