No, not really.

Sorry, my spellchecker doesn't work properly. If I leave it on it swaps perfectly spelled words for other onea for no reason, so I have to leave it off and suffer the occasional ~~constant~~ spelling error.

**happyturtle** · 2010-10-17, 01:00 AM (ISO 8601)

I just figured a smaet was some sort of character class from some universe I wasn't familiar with.

I'd say that includes most of the PC population. Not many people 'deserve' their powers.

**Ashen Lilies** · 2010-10-17, 01:07 AM (ISO 8601)

I recall someone or other calling KR a magical princess once, which by that definition seems hilarious, considering she basically 'earned' everything and anything, up to and including her own body and soul.

One bloody murder at a time... >.>

**Moff Chumley** · 2010-10-17, 01:09 AM (ISO 8601)

Wasn't me. You scare me too much.

Also, Riv killed D7.

**horngeek** · 2010-10-17, 01:12 AM (ISO 8601)

How do Exalted not deserve their powers?

Moral, or a sense that 'they didn't do anything to get them'?

**Moff Chumley** · 2010-10-17, 01:14 AM (ISO 8601)

1) This is IC prejudice, not OoC. We're aware of that, right?
2) D7 is a MoffClone and...
3) What have the exalted done to make The Moff in any way positively disposed towards them?

**Ashen Lilies** · 2010-10-17, 01:15 AM (ISO 8601)

It totally was you. When KR was in the process of kidnapping Jack, if I recall.

He doesn't even bother to aim, just raises the gun and fires. A single explosive round shoots forward, then splits into eight, going even faster, then splits again, for a grand total of 64 rounds shooting towards D7 at 200 MPH, each with the explosive power of a grenade.

Uh... wow? A bit much?

...
Though then again, 200 MPH isn't exactly fast, so I guess it all balances out (most bullets travel at supersonic speeds, which is >768 MPH in air).

Yeah, but I'm just curious. How does he see it as undeserved?

**Moff Chumley** · 2010-10-17, 01:17 AM (ISO 8601)

Oh, that was me? Damn, my past self is always getting my present self into trouble...

Okay, let's put it this way. Anyone who's more powerful than The Moff is a magical princess. Is that explicit enough for you?

**happyturtle** · 2010-10-17, 01:17 AM (ISO 8601)

Poor D7.

And I was thinking 'deserve' in the karmic sense of having to do great good in order to deserve great power.

If we're going by 'deserve' as 'I worked for it so I deserve it', then a lot more characters qualify. KR probably more than most since she did all the work onscreen, as opposed to gaining levels during backstory. DC is probably a distant second, having started stronger, and not increased as much, but still done a massive amount of onscreen power changing stuff.

Also, if Darcy had realized her prank had gotten a kid killed, she'd feel really awful. But she left before it happened.

I realize that now, of course. For what it's worth, I'm sure if The Moff got to know KR and they didn't attempt to kill eachother, (HAH!) he'd revise that opinion.

**ThirdEmperor** · 2010-10-17, 01:21 AM (ISO 8601)

It's supposed to be a bit much, Riv only uses the Ragnarok when he's to angry to think or knows his opponent will survive. For the IC reason he doesn't use it well, check The Black Dragon thread.

**happyturtle** · 2010-10-17, 01:24 AM (ISO 8601)

Just so you know, not many Nexus characters have the ability to survive the kind of attacks you and Alexandrian are throwing around, without having to strain probability or scale up powers significantly. You two might want to tone it down, especially for random tavern fights.

**Ashen Lilies** · 2010-10-17, 01:27 AM (ISO 8601)

Yeah, uh... to be honest, Kazia probably isn't capable of surviving an exploding bullet to the face. That was blatant cheating on my part.

**Moff Chumley** · 2010-10-17, 01:30 AM (ISO 8601)

You know, I shoulda come up with some ass-pull, because I was having a lot of fun playing D7. I was even gonna make him say life is pain.

I guess The Moff is hogging all the fate-cheating from my other characters...

A lot of Exalted don't deserve it by the first one.

...at all. Look up Desus sometime.

Exaltation doesn't measure morality. It only measures heroism (in the classical, Heracles type sense).

That's part of why I refuse to use Good/Evil in relation to my Exalted characters, now. Creation doesn't have a measuring stick for that.

**happyturtle** · 2010-10-17, 01:39 AM (ISO 8601)

How about retconning another Moff grabbing him off the yellow road and tossing an exploded henchcorpse into the tavern instead?

**Moff Chumley** · 2010-10-17, 01:44 AM (ISO 8601)

Not sure if that's quite appropriate, given that Moffclones view eachother as competition, at best. But if anyone has a character that wants to raise D7, or even turn him into some form of intelligent undead, that'd be much appreciated.

After all, the explosion caused quite a few casualties. So it's not unlikely a cleric or necromancer might show up, right?[/grasping at threads]

**Ashen Lilies** · 2010-10-17, 01:45 AM (ISO 8601)

...
I'll send Lucretia over.

**Moff Chumley** · 2010-10-17, 01:48 AM (ISO 8601)

Can vampires animate flesh stains?

*notices power level*

That's magical princess status right there.

So, no doubt.

**Artemis97** · 2010-10-17, 01:51 AM (ISO 8601)

I actually have a character there that could raise the dead, or create undead... but that'd be a bit against his moral code, as loose as it is. But if you want a plain old Raise Dead, I can do that for ya.

**Moff Chumley** · 2010-10-17, 01:52 AM (ISO 8601)

Eh, if it's the kind of thing they'd do, it's fine.

Otherwise, don't go out of your way. It's not a big deal.

**ThirdEmperor** · 2010-10-17, 01:53 AM (ISO 8601)

Yeah, I do try and lower my power level in random brawls, but the point was kinda to kill someone. Riv feels very, very bad about it though. I'm honestly not sure how this will end.

**Ashen Lilies** · 2010-10-17, 01:54 AM (ISO 8601)

I'm actually not sure why her power level is that high, given that she's basically a fighter. A fighter who can animate herself some undead minions, but still just a fighter, when it comes down to it.

But yes, she is very much a Magical Princess.

**Moff Chumley** · 2010-10-17, 01:54 AM (ISO 8601)

I'd HOPE he feels bad about it. Ya know, because of the shooting a 14 year old in cold blood for absolutely no reason aside from, as I believe has been referenced, a few rude remarks.

**ThirdEmperor** · 2010-10-17, 01:56 AM (ISO 8601)

He's either going to end up psychopathic, insane or reformed from this. Not sure which.

**billtodamax** · 2010-10-17, 01:58 AM (ISO 8601)

Pack confuses me also.

Just thought I'd throw that out there.

Did I miss anything?

*falls from the ceiling*

*glomp*

**ThirdEmperor** · 2010-10-17, 02:28 AM (ISO 8601)

Ya know, this would be an excellent tume for HALO or Watchtower to show up, as destroying an entire tavern using ultra-tech weapons totally counts as an act of super-villiany.
