Avatar Battle Royale-Discussion Thread XXII: Mutual agreement? What's that?

[Mina Kobold]

hehe... You ask any of my friends and theyd tell you that im possibly one of the most imature people at times.

I said SHOULD didn't I? and I'm still an insane brat, you know.

[Green-Shirt Q]

I'll allow anyone to become an Arcane Incarnation if they want to, as well as play as one.

Same thing with Qs. If anybody wanted to hypothetically be a Q.

Although things might get a little confusing with many Qs running around.

[Emperor Ing]

I'd imagine one would only have to play a maniacal killer, but with long term goals requiring universal stability (such as retaining immortality, and having people available to kill).

Then again, it'd be interesting to see an AI paladin... or just one that is actually Lawful Good.

Keris, let me explain this simply
Non-canon Rand is an unstoppable killing machine who won't rest until everyone he doesn't like is dead

Canon Rand is a LG sociopath (Don't say anything!) who works tirelessly to retain planar stability

And you should also note that being able to cast 10th level spells is an AI prerequisite.

[Keris]

Keris, let me explain this simply

So non-canon Rand is CE, while canon Rand is LG?

And you should also note that being able to cast 10th level spells is an AI prerequisite.

So we shouldn't really see any more in FI. We're not meant to have uber-powered characters in it, and I think Epic Levelled spellcasters would fall under that restriction.

[Green-Shirt Q]

Yes, but how would he lose all those levels? Do a bunch of wrights come along and drain Rand to the bare minimum?

[Emperor Ing]

So non-canon Rand is CE, while canon Rand is LG?

More or less, yeah

So we shouldn't really see any more in FI. We're not meant to have uber-powered characters in it, and I think Epic Levelled spellcasters would fall under that restriction.

Or be at least a 20th level arcane caster. :P
There might be some more currently unaccounted for, I might develop on the other 4 known AIs in existence, but that's a probability, yes.

[Keris]

Yes, but how would he lose all those levels? Do a bunch of wrights come along and drain Rand to the bare minimum?

Could do. Or he could use his Terrasque character. Or we could not have any more Arcane Incarnations, which is what I said.

[Green-Shirt Q]

Could do. Or he could use his Terrasque character. Or we could not have any more Arcane Incarnations, which is what I said.

Actually, now that I have been given Rand's permission, I might just make another Arcane Incarnation character for FI.

[Emperor Ing]

AIs are immune to Energy Drain

[Emperor Ing]

Actually, now that I have been given Rand's permission, I might just make another Arcane Incarnation character for FI.

It could work, but you might wanna work that around with Keris, and work with me with 'what the hell are you?'

[Green-Shirt Q]

Well, I was just joking, but ?

[Keris]

Actually, now that I have been given Rand's permission, I might just make another Arcane Incarnation character for FI.

And what side would he be on? The Resistance, where he could just teleport to Ins and kill him, or the UNA, and where he could do the same to the Resistance?

High-powered characters are discouraged in FI. They ruin the drama. You notice that Lying, a barely Epic level spellcaster, will be incapacitated for much of the duration?

e: NINJAS! Zombie Ninjas!

[Emperor Ing]

My suggestion is that Q's AI char is neutral in the conflict, and he's just out there doing his own thing.

My Tarrasque character is on the Neutral side.

[Threeshades]

Im considering making a "backstory" comic about threeshades in the time between the final of FFF and the start of FI

[Green-Shirt Q]

I was joking. I don't want to have an AI character. Although if he would, he'd be neutral. I was just antagonizing Keris.

AIs are totally lame.

[Mad Mask]

Why would anybody want a god character that is inactive, anyway ?

[Green-Shirt Q]

Why would anybody want a god character that is inactive, anyway ?

Comic relief, perhaps?

[Keris]

Why would anybody want a god character that is inactive, anyway ?

To combat the other god characters that will inevitably arise?

[BRC]

New FFF up.

[Green-Shirt Q]

New FFF up.

This is a good comic and all, but I don't think we are actually doing any partying right now.

Not that we can't! WOO! Party!

*goes to make comic that goes before BRC's to make his comic make sense*

[Emperor Ing]

To combat the other god characters that will inevitably arise?

Doesn't matter, the only god character allowed to do stuff is Lying, and he at one time was unsure wether or not he was epic leveled.

[Mad Mask]

Igon Minoblendy is not a god character. And he's incapacitated in FI.

[Emperor Ing]

Igon Minoblendy is not a god character. And he's incapacitated in FI.

Because he's actually allowed to do stuff, he's the closest thing to 'god' in this setting

[Green-Shirt Q]

Because he's actually allowed to do stuff, he's the closest thing to 'god' in this setting

You're very bitter, aren't you?

I think we'll all be able to do stuff, hopefully, just not do everything instantly and pop into the bad guy's lair and kill him, instantly ending the plot.

The only thing I fear is that comics will be declared non-canon because of some little, minor flaw. Like that the building that the comic featured actually has 15 stories instead of 10, and a novel was written about before on the wiki so you're supposed to know this already and get it perfect.

[Keris]

Because he's actually allowed to do stuff, he's the closest thing to 'god' in this setting

FI is meant to be more freeform. The setting is defined, but your actions within it are meant to be wholly your own, at least until the plot moves towards a conclusion again.

[Emperor Ing]

You're very bitter, aren't you?

You have no idea.

FI is meant to be more freeform. The setting is defined, but your actions within it are meant to be wholly your own, at least until the plot moves towards a conclusion again.

At that point you can kiss your character goodbye.

[Keris]

At that point you can kiss your character goodbye.

Yep. We get the same predicament as we just had, and have now, but hopefully that shouldn't be for a while, and then we'll get another plot.

Probably wiping out the Sovices once and for all, or something like that...

I stand corrected. The Sovices are the god characters.
You developed the Sovices so they can't be killed. The only way I can see them being destroyed is if their power source, which I believe is of Divine source, is destroyed. In other words, kill their god, and they'll all die within minutes.

As I understand it, their god are analogous to the C'tan (and their appearance/personality are directly taken*), and not truly divine beings. I don't know what their power source is.

*"The Knowledge Bringer", also known as "The Great Deceiver", who appears as "as an androgynous Jaani with flowing robes and four curved horns jutting from its skull".
"The Bringer of Eternal Darkness", appearing "as a colossal semi-masculine figure shrouded in shadows and aged black robes, a hood obscuring most of its face" and carrying a scythe like weapon.
And "The Dragon in the Void", who's the most powerful.
The only one Lying (or whoever came up with them) missed is the Outsider.

[Emperor Ing]

Am I allowed to take a swing at some of their gods?
