AMEN 34 A Dark Begining [Nexus]
WELCOME TO AMEN!
Association of the Malicious, Evil, and Nefarious
[insert banner here]
A BRIEF HISTORY by the esteemed Lord Magtok
SpoilerIn the darkest pits of despair there lived a fearsome being, one made of pure malevolence, hatred, and madness. He had an equally dark and loathsome plan for our world, the formation of an organization to be known as Evil Incorporated, destined to spread his unhallowed name throughout the world, so that all might come to know and fear the one named Psyke_D.
Fortunately for the rest of us, there's already a webcomic called Evil Inc. When this was pointed out by yours truly, the members of this fledgling new organization went into a frenzy. What good could an evil organization be without a suitably original, stylish, and menacing name? All sorts of suggestions were produced, everything from Vilecom (painfully bland) to Fullbladder's Fabulous Funky Foursome (Totally incorrect, as there was at least six of us by then).
Finally, someone (and by someone I mean me) offered a suggestion even better than Evil Inc, the "Association of the Malicious, Evil, and Nefarious". Everyone immediately realized that this was by far the best name they'd ever heard of, and after a chorus of "AMEN, brother"s and nibbling on some pixies, the Association had officially begun.
Years went by after that. In-jokes were formed, members came and went, and dictators were ousted and replaced with new dictators more swiftly than Central America during the Cold War on steroids. It was a glorious time, full of wars with EVIL, The Town, France, and HALO. (All ending in AMEN victories, aside from the last one, which was more of a cease-fire stalemate thingy)
Lives were lost, promptly restored, and then lost again. Love blossomed between various Associates, dark feuds between others, and every manner of nonsense imaginable, but that chaotic energy, that "Burn it all and let the gods sort it out" attitude always came before anything else.
Sadly, these days were destined to end eventually. AMEN just couldn't keep up with HALO, GLoG, and the rest of the world, and xenophobically shut its doors upon the rest of the world. A Dark Age ensued, full of newbs posting inane nonsense and old members complaining about the newbs instead of trying to better their situation, until eventually, not even the newbs were posting anymore.
Then came hope. Most called him crazy (and they were right), others called him ridiculously optimistic, and some say he's a big smelly dragon who doesn't bathe anywhere near as much as he should (Or maybe only I say that), but everyone else called him Gordon, the new leader of AMEN. Realizing that this xenophobic age had to end, he led AMEN out of the darkness, and brought about a new age of darkness, gave us a world where AMEN is once again a serious threat. For that, we owe him our thanks. I'm still gonna stab him in the back the first chance I get, though.
THE BUILDING
SpoilerYou don’t want to know. The greatest minds of our time have studied AMEN’s base, only to be driven MAD by the labyrinthine, ever shifting corridors and reality-defying chambers. The base itself is sentient, and doesn’t really take kindly to smartasses trying to map it. That being said, as long as you don’t try too hard to make sense of the base, it’s not difficult to find, say, the an empty bunk, the common room, the can, the lab, et cetera. Of course, there’s much more to the base than that, but I can’t tell you about it. 1) Because it would crush your little mind, and 2) because I don’t wanna.
MEMBERSHIP FORM
SpoilerYou don’t want to know. The greatest minds of our time have studied AMEN’s membership form, only to be driven MAD by the labyrinthine, ever shifting legalese and the reality-defying... ah, you know the drill. Just sign in blood at the bottom. Don’t worry, once you get past the legalese it’s all fairly standard. *cough*

SpoilerGordon-Phantom.
Magtok-Magtok.

As the first post in a new thread...
Rot feasts on cake! He thanks the 343 drones and noms up some delicious blood-filled cake.
"Mmmm... This is good. HALlelujah ain't half bad. Like the drones too, good cooks."

Crunch
Looks like HALlelujah favored cake is crunchy. And it's making the odd sound of swords grinding against one another again while it's eating.

"Uhh...no. I read about AMEN in some book, and realized it was the perfect orginization for an evil guy like me. The rest are goody-two shoes like that moronic HALO and severly moronic GLOG" Maxios told Gordon.

Re: AMEN 34 A Dark Begining [Nexus]
Maxios may well have a mime drop from the ceiling onto him, with the intent of hugging him.
He's grinning happily, and it's likely that Maxios will need to support both of their weight.Avatar by Me!

Re: AMEN 34 A Dark Begining [Nexus]
"I don't trust him. Maybe we should defenestrate him from the top floor, you know, the window overlooking the crater?" Nephrim, it should be noted, doesn't really trust anybody. Plus, she's the only person not eating cake due to lacking a sense of taste and not really needing to eat anyway. What's probably worst to Maxios, though, is the fact Nephrim is currently a human girl, about ten, with green eyes and black hair cascading down her back. Admittedly, those white silk robes encrusted with black gemstones are odd attire for a human girl of her age.

"GAH! What the-" Maxios says as the mime falls on him. He starts trying to shake the mime off.
"Anyway, does it have to be in my blood?" Maxios tells Gordon.

Re: AMEN 34 A Dark Begining [Nexus]
Seems a new thread is just the thing needed to attract some new members...
See, there's someone else wanting to join, and she's standing right outside the door.
Apparently she's polite enough to knock instead of just going inside. Knock knock. See?
She's wearing a short silver dress, not sparkly, just...bright...really bright. Over the dress she wears a black cloak, and on top of her black hair with silver highlights is a typically magician-y black top hat, with a silver band round the middle. She also has one of those silly black masks that goes over the eyes, hiding the top half of her face. She stares at the door with bright, excited eyes, practically jumping up and down on the spot.
"This is the place! This is the place! Yay!"
Oh, she also has a magic wand in her hands. One of the classic magician-y ones. Y'know...the little black stick with a white bi-oh, my mistake, the white bit at each end seems to have been replaced with more unusually bright silver.Before you criticise someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticise them, you'll be a mile away and you'll have their shoes.

Re: AMEN 34 A Dark Begining [Nexus]
Maxios stops shaking. He instead grabs a nearby pie and throws it in the mime's face
He then see's a cake marked blood cake, grabs a quill from the ground, dips it in the cake, and begins to sign the forms.

Re: AMEN 34 A Dark Begining [Nexus]
The Assistant nods, actually jumping now. She looks to be at least 20...just...really bubbling with energy? There's something vaguely disturbing about her rather childish behaviour, at any rate.

Re: AMEN 34 A Dark Begining [Nexus]
"I am using the fact the Nexus is a network of realities to my advantage. It's easy to travel through time when you are in somewhere where all the other dimensions are so fluid. I can't tell you anything about what happens in the ruins, though; I might cause a paradox and Gara'Machoo is not my liege-lord and I don't like them. Hope you like shark fin soup, though." Basically, a plot clone.
"Oh goodie. A wizard. Can you pull a rabbit out of your hat?" Nephrim, incidently, is a being made of coalesced magic bonded to the soul of a deceased sentient being. In other words, she's an Angel. Or, since she Fell 4,000-odd years ago, a Demon.Last edited by Earl of Purple; 2010-09-29 at 04:57 PM.

Re: AMEN 34 A Dark Begining [Nexus]
This is a bit more successful.
Mime brings his hands up to his face to wipe the pie off, before realising that he's no longer holding onto anything, and falling to the ground.
He wipes all of the cream (I assume) off of his face, dusts himself off, and stands up.Avatar by Me!

Re: AMEN 34 A Dark Begining [Nexus]
"Yay!" Assistant runs over to the wheelbarrow and starts reading the paperwork.
Well...okay...she's not really reading it. She's just pretending to. People always have to at least pretend to read the paperwork before signing it!
...but then Nephrim interrupts her reading.
"Nuh uh! I'm a magician's assistant, silly! Wizards don't pull rabbits out of hats!" She takes her top hat off, taps it with her wand and pulls out...erm...
Okay...
She's pulled out what appears to be a bomb with rabbit ears attached. She taps the fuse with her wand, lighting it, giggles, and tosses it at Nephrim. "Isn't it a cute little bunny?"Before you criticise someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticise them, you'll be a mile away and you'll have their shoes.

Re: AMEN 34 A Dark Begining [Nexus]
"Mister Squiggles, catch." Nephrim throws the cartoon bomb with rabbit ears at the giant spider. If it goes off, she doesn't care. "Very funny, girl." Yes, Nephrim still looks to be ten and she's calling somebody she doesn't know girl.
