Avatar Battle Royale Discussion Thread XIX: To FAIL, or not to FAIL?

[X2]

Sorry, I didn't bother reading that past 3 theads when I got home, is X2 from a different dimension?

It's called "The Journey Home" for that reason.

[CrimsonAngel]

Ahhh.

[X2]

Ahhh.

So Damien could be X2's counterpart and builder of the bas of operations.

[CrimsonAngel]

'Kay.

[X2]

'Kay.

Okay but dont feel compelled to have him act like X2. Their similarities are mostly biological.

[SinisterPenguin]

And now, my TJH character:



He is a human brain suspended in liquid that controls a robot body. His name is simply Brain, and he fights with his psionic powers.

Hey, you said this plot was for weird characters.

[BRC]

I'm considering joining TJH, possibly with these guys, I call 'em the Infernal Machinists. In case you were wondering, I like drawing robots

Infernal Machinists, because the souls of the damned are a renewable resource.

Thats not farfetched. Thats just 50's sci fi.

Are they dimension jumpers or natives?

'Not original' does not equal 'not weird'.

Anyway, should he come through the portal, or what?

[X2]

Yes he should.

PS. Its not weird anymore, not after a decade plundered similair ideas. It stops being weird once it becomes standard.

[SinisterPenguin]

Yes he should.

Alright, I'll make a comic...tomorrow. I have to go to bed now.

[BRC]

Are they dimension jumpers or natives?

Natives, (it looks like TJS is taking place on some lower plane of sorts). Their a group of low-ranking devils who, while physically weak, have found ways around that.
They are firm believers in soul power (That is, powering machines by burning souls), Inginuity over brute force, and More Dakka

[X2]

Alright, I'll make a comic...tomorrow. I have to go to bed now.

I look forward to it. And to subsequently criticising it. :D

[Mina Kobold]

Can I join TJH too? I have a character in mind (he's gonna go through the portal so don't leave it too quick)

EDIT: Will there be any more restrictions on the dimension jumping, like that we have to get to certain places in the dimensions to get to the next one, or do the 48 hours thing fix that? Just an idea.

I'll post a comic later.

What about Keveak? I need some FFF characters!

[Mina Kobold]

What about Keveak? I need some FFF characters!

Aww man, I don't wanna use him (Besides he's in FI as his ghost and is gonna live on the kobold island for ten years for my FI characters backstory to work, their entry on the wiki is named "Argonath and Flayon" by the way) I'm going to get my hair cut now so I won't answer any more for now.

[The Gremlin]

Hey, cool! New plot! I'll join, it'll give me an excuse to help along my obsession with the Serama chicken!

[chriky]

Has anybody else called the next discussion thread?

'Cause I was thinking....you know......I could make it?

Haven't you done one before? Because I never have and i'd quite like too.
If you haven't made a thread before then don't worry you can do the next one it's just I tought yiu had.

[Mina Kobold]

Now I'm done with my character for TJH:

Spoiler

Show

He's a kind of earth (the element) mage (earthquakes, sense where people is, etc.)
I haven't really go a good backstory (though a lot of not so good) in mind, any ideas?

[Fay Graydon]

GAH! NEW PLOT!
Does not want! Does not want!!!!

Comon Guys seriously!
Hell r badness place...
And it has no storyline / aim!

Now dismantle plot or Diskord will dismantle you!

Does anyone even really care about SDSB? Should I just let it rest in peace?

[Mina Kobold]

I think you should hold on to it and not give up.

@Fayte: The hell we won't dismantle it.

[Lyinginbedmon]

I'd say just keep it on the backburner, let people add to it as they feel the need to.

[Lyinginbedmon]

Okay, new comic up, how's that for a slice of fried gold?

Next comic I believe goes to either Mad Mask or Threeshades, or Salmon if he happens to be around.

I'd like to note a bit of magic physics relevant here:

Spoiler

Show

The Gate spell alters the local resonance of the plane's planar shell (Which is Incarnum based, which is why magic has issues going between planes and such but souls are fairly universal, because Incarnum can pass through) to that of another plane.

If a planar shell has a similar resonance to that of another planar shell, the two start to overlap, which is essentially how the Ethereal Plane can overlap the Material Plane and why you can see it from the Ethereal. Doing so in a localised manner and making it identical, produces a portal to that plane.

The resonance of the planar shell of the Plane of Incarnum is, simply put, so far removed from that of every other plane in existence that making a portal to it with Gate is nigh impossible. Lying is burning almost every spell slot he has to open this one portal, as well as a few more to keep it from leaking.

Anyone or anything that goes into that portal is NOT coming out. I cannot stress that enough, the Plane of Incarnum is simply too powerful and energetic for anything from other planes to exist within it. It is a lifeless (Albeit life-producing) plane that simply dissolves anything inside of it that isn't itself pure Incarnum. Resurrection from inside of it will not work because souls will simply dissolve as well.

[Mad Mask]

Threeshades is supposed to make the next comic, I'm sure of it. I wouldn't be fair if I did it, as it was him who first started the Fat Fish Fury (main) plot and she should be the one to finish it.

What? And seriously I'm right here...

Ignore him, and I plan on joining your plot! With Two people!

[Nameless]

What is TJH about?

[X2]

What is TJH about?

Officialy: X2 tries to get back to his own dimension using a spell called D-Jump which he and his Avabaroy universe counterpart created to cross between paralell dimensions.

Non Officialy: A big fat excuse for a bunch of epic level characters to go nuts.

TJH stands for The Journey Home.

Ignore him, and I plan on joining your plot! With Two people!

Is one of them an orange ninja?

[Falgorn]

More orange-red, and yes. Along with him is his annoying flirtatious apprentice, Will Roberts...not everyone in ABR has a cool name...
