Avatar Battle Royale Discussion Thread XXIV: What is this "Haste" you speak of?

[Emperor Ing]

Who the hell talked about blue robes?

I'm trying to expand on my non-keveakedness.

Every single spellcaster wearing a blue robe in ABR is riding on MY coattails!

What about Lyinginbedmon ? He is very different from you and yet wears blue robes.

riding my coattails.

[Grim ranger]

riding my coattails.

Oh shush it, old man *steps on a tail*

Oh, and MM? Who would you say go in furthest end of sliding scale of idealism versus cynism?

Keveak's travel robe is turquoise (a favourite color of mine) not blue and at the end of FFF he wears dark-grey. The color (and style) of his clothes in FI will wary.

Besides saying you are non-Keveaky is kinda ruined by the kobold avatar.

Is there some sort of kobold week going on since you guys got kobold avatars?

[X2]

Oh and by the way anyone who cares, the oracle was adopted by Keris.

[Mad Mask]

Oh, and MM? Who would you say go in furthest end of sliding scale of idealism versus cynism?

In the Resistance: Keveak's probably the most idealistic member of the Resistance, while Ernst Schwartz is the most cynical.

In the UNA: Hmm... Tough call. Karen Dewey and Acostas Gwyn are pretty idealistic, but truly cynic UNA members are rare, so I'll have to go into third parties. It's probably a mercenary, maybe your character ?

[Grim ranger]

Yes, I would say Grim is rather cynical invidual. While the rest of the UNA tries to "save the world", I would say he does what he is told because he gets paid for it, without any kind of idealism behind it exept to get his job done with. Oh course his attitude could cause grinding of teeth amongst some of UNA personel he works with, perhaps peacekeepers (and expecially skimmer if Grim and she end up working on same mission)? He does not care one whit if he has to bomb a town to rubble or use blackmail or other bit less honourable methods, so yeah, i would say he lands on the far end of cynism.

Also, I found just perfect theme for him or whole M.E.R.C to have as theme music in time of FI. Here it is . Epicness for the win

Wow, that's just... awe-inspiring.

[Grim ranger]

Well thank you

I can almost picture Grim doing his work when listening to this music. No mercy for rebels!

[Emperor Ing]

draconic week, and 'bolds are draconic.

[X2]

draconic week, and 'bolds are draconic.

We should have an avatar outfit swapping week.

Oh we can stay up late, braid each others hair, gossip, oh it'll be a scream.

Yay! I'm number one in something.

But I guess he's like that because he doesn't fear death (he has tried it, it's not that bad, you can stay around afterwards and you get to walk through walls)

[Grim ranger]

draconic week, and 'bolds are draconic.

If that is the case, could somebody make me black dragon avatar? The markings around the eyes similiar to the mask of my current avatar would be a bonus, as well as attacking pose

[Emperor Ing]

Mistaken Identity Week, where users switch avatars, user info, and signatures for a week* is usually around this time. :P

I think he meant the clothes of the avatar not the avatar itself (If you switched with him your avatar would be rand in the mercenary outfit not a mercenary)

[Ninja Chocobo]

Because of the Secret Project™, I won't be able to make the montage yet. So here's a quick FFF.

Jovocian Generators ain't exactly hard to make, especially for an epic caster.

All ya gotta do is summon a pair of Jovocs, Polymorph 'em, den glue 'em together and zap 'em wif lightning damage.

[Mad Mask]

Really ?

Hmm... To make the Resistance a bit more threatening for FI, maybe Lying created a couple or so of Citadel-like crafts ? Of course, they'll be less powerful, since they don't have any VGG cannons, teleportation engines or Alphantican armour, but at least that'll make the terrorists a sizeable force.

If the Resistance is world-spanning terrorist organization and UNA:s resources would be nearly limitless, how many mercinaries should there be working under M.E.R.C? Companies, specialized taskforces, or just best-of-the-best specialists?

Who need heavy weapons (attracting attention is bad when fighting the entire world), the Danish resistance didn't during the war and they did pretty well, I'm sure the Avbaroy one can too with all their magic.

[Ninja Chocobo]

Really ?

Yup.

Whu-POW!
e: Oh hell, it fell off the internet.

Wasn't the whole selling point of the resistance that they're the underdogs here? Putting them and the UNA on even footing sort of ruins that.

[Green-Shirt Q]

draconic week,

Well, time to hop on the bandwagon.

[Mad Mask]

A few citadels aren't going to make the resistance on equal footing with the UNA, they're against the whole world ! It'll just make the Peacekeepers more awesome when they blow the damned castles.

[Tiffanie Lirle]

Your point has been made, however you're going to have to invent a better weapon for peace keepers then some standard issue rifles if you expect us to blow up buildings.

Obviously one could just use average bombs, but getting onto a flying citadel is somewhat hard if you're stuck on the ground.

However, the UNA does have one of my characters, Nath Bortak, who is a demolition expert. He has super strength proven able to knock down buildings plus a rocket laucher. He also has wings, which he can use to fly.

I always thought those wings seemed a bit too small to lift someone of his.. girth. (He's totally fat)

But I wasn't aware that we had rocket launchers. I suppose that does help.

[Green-Shirt Q]

Well, you know what they say,

"The gargoyle, according to all known laws of aerodynamics, shouldn't be able to fly.
The little wings wouldn't be able to get it's big fat body off the ground.
However, the gargoyle doesn't know this, so it flies anyway."

[Mad Mask]

Peacekeepers aren't like the military in the movie, they've got a real arsenal of weapons. Plenty of those are driven by steam, like their APCs, tanks and attack planes. Heavy weapons include Galting guns (very popular), rockets (unguided), howitzers and cannons. And in case things get really bad, the Navy can give them railguns or lasers.

EDIT: Rocket launchers are really old, the medieval Chinese had them.

[-skimmer-]

And there I thought that soul powered gatling gun of her is too much in this setting
