Avvy RP VIII: Discussion VII - Lies and Moon-Magic
Hurrah, a boss battle is done.
Although perhaps II's death was only the beginning, since only 32 seconds remain on the clock. Will Count Zero be the strongest enemy of all?! Only one way to find out! |
I haven't been doing stuff because everything I can think of doing might qualify as cheap and/or overpowered. That and my phone has decided that it doesn't like the forum's code for some freaking stupid reason and won't load, meaning my usual habit of posting on my lunch break has been ruined.
EDIT: Eh, I dunno. I pondered trying to use Mauve's oft-overused shield spell thing to protect everybody from whatever happens at the end of the countdown, but this seemed more fun. |
....Thinking about it, I probably can't actually do that. Feel free to assume Steel's just halucinating due to drug overdose.
|
Next update might be a few more days because pics or it doesn't happen.
EDIT: It won't be until tomorrow because I suuuuuuuck! |
YAAY! PROMISES OF UPDATES!!!! :dance:
WITH PICTURES!! :dance: I am excited. |
I knew we never should have built NPF on top of a mountain called Monkey!
|
Whelp, it's been fun. I'll admit, I thought IC would be the one to kill us this time, but you can't argue with facts.
|
Facts are chains that bind perception and fetter truth. For a man can remake the world if he has a dream and no facts to cloud his mind.
Yeah, I couldn't resist. I'd have drawn the explosion but it turns out I can't draw explosions. Or cities. PS: Look again. |
As Overcast said, wow that was awesome. In the meta-upper world awesome is now Arhra, in the lower Avvie world it is now Ethington.
|
...I should mention Steel hasn't slept in a few days. He's usually much better behaved than all this.
I blame fury, personally. |
I like the bomb on Overcast's face.
|
Alright, time to finish this shin-dig. Hope you guys wanted a big ole' helping of lead and steel for breakfast.
|
Well, this was a fun experience. Hope we don't all end up probed!
|
SO MUCH AWESOME. That's fantastic, Arhra. XD I especially liked Overcast's bomb-face.
|
Very great artwork, Arhra. I thought I was the only one who made red eyes look cool.
|
Yeah, Dr. Ethington looked pretty triumphant in that pic, Arhra. I imagine V's entrance and obscured right hand is and attempt by her to sneak up behind her rival with a knife. Or a comb. Ethington looks like a mix of creepy, Asheth, and Catherine Halsey, so your artist's mind's eye is clear.
|
GLEE!
I'm happy to see trying pictures again was worth the trouble. Especially glad to hear I got Ethington right and the people liked the bomb. Don't usually post background music, but this works on so many levels. |
Sorry for the crappy post, my brain has been a bit drained from work this week. Perhaps as the fight starts getting into it and things start happening I'll rejuvenate.
|
Right so, before I get to my new bio, I'll just reiterate what I said at the end of my last post. Asked Bard a few days ago if he'd be okay if Rose/Teal took his character with them when they teleported to the Valker's ship - he said he was cool with it. Otherwise, a lot of my last post was basically me filling in a few minor plot holes regarding combat in space.
To do that, Rose teleported into the Nuklear Power Science Institute sometime between Arhra II's defeat and the NPF Azure's takeoff and stole Arhra V's inventions! Functionally speaking, their addition doesn't really change anything. But I wanted to make the handwave less obvious. Moving onto the profile: Aside from situation specific costume changes, I've also heavily altered my male character model. Took out the cat ears and replaced them with normal (pointed) human ears, and replaced the cat tail with a thicker fox tail. Basically, I decided to go Kitsune - seemed to suit the character I'd be playing with - instead of cat boy. Other areas of heavy change are the ability section, which is a lot more explicate than the old version. I don't imagine anything in here will be broken (given its a Fury-specific Profile), but since I'm not the GM, I'll leave that call to Inbred. Anyway! Name: (Fury) Teal Class: Fury Possessed Appearance: 5'9, slim build, pale skin, burning scarlet eyes and long pale blond hair, worn tousled around his head and face. The hair extends just past his shoulder blades and is smoother in the back. Ears, normally hidden by his thick blond hair, are pointed but otherwise human. Wears a sharply tailored black tuxedo and a matching pair of black dress pants over a candy apple red dress shirt and black tie. Shoes are sturdy and made of black leather. Has a long, luxurious and full pale blond fox tail - there's a hole cut in his pants for it. Fury Teal's surrounded by an aura of vivid red light at all times. Fury Rose Form, When the situation requires it, Teal changes into a girl named Rose. She's 5'7, slim, pale skinned, has a thick mane of coppery red hair and a pair of burning scarlet eyes. Her hair extends just past her shoulder blades, and covers her slightly pointed ears. Wears a strapless and sleeveless deep crimson ball gown, decorated with layers of overlapping ruffles and a pair of candy apple red, high heeled, shoes. Her tail is hidden beneath the gown, but is bright orange in this form. Fury Rose is surrounded by an aura of vivid red light at all times. Abilities: Most are inspired by previous RP characters. They've been adapted slightly for this setting. Tried to keep it vaguely balanced, but the Fury makes that...difficult. On Drugs, Taking four doses of Fury does wonders for your body. Teal's stronger, faster and much, much harder to kill than before. In battle, he uses low-level flight magic to perform acrobatic attacks and recoveries, and relies on a combination of magic, teleportation spells and his claws - currently strong enough to damage steel - to defeat his enemies. His personality seems to have been affected somewhat as well. In addition, his long range, supportive and non-lethal abilities seem to have deteriorated overall. Infinite Mana, Using the power granted by the Fury Pills, Teal can put a lot more energy into each of his spells; which come in two varieties. Unstructured magic use is, basically, Geomancy. In other words, Teal can put his magic into something around him and control it, provided he can touch it first. In addition to allowing for some creative attacks, it also works well for parrying supernatural attacks, like a fireball. It doesn't work very well on people though. Thanks to the Fury, the strength, degree of control and range of Teal's manipulation has has skyrocketed. A list of Structured Spells - specific magical attacks - as well as the rules for Teal's teleportation abilities, can be found here. Yaoi Fan, An ability that, in simple terms, means Makeouts = Super Powers. Or rather, give a really nice magical item (each subject to GM approval at generation). Only works on real boys and only one item may be made for created per person. After the kiss, a commemorative card is also generated! You'll never be able to forget what you had to do either. Equipment: Big Bad Wolf Com-Link, A pretty black radio that fits neatly into Teal's ear, there's a white silhouette of a growling wolf on it. Thanks to a little magical tweaking, he can use it to communicate with any of his allies at the touch of a button! He's using it instead of Arhra V's Comm-Link; but it serves the same purpose functionally. Dragon Dagger, A talking dagger that usually serves as Teal's main weapon. Since taking the Fury, the weapon's started to refuse to transform for him, making it mainly effective for summoning his Giant Mecha right now. It appears to be a black and gold bladed dagger, with a blue-green crystal core set in the center of the Guard. When if can transform, it usually becomes a Bow or a Scythe. Dragonzordy Nippon Custom: Kawaii Varient Teal Version 2, After the Death Wish fell, Teal spent some time in Future Nippon. While he was there, his Giant Mechanical Dragon was combined with, uh, this. The result was result is horrifying to behold. It shoots missiles from its fingers, lasers from its ribbon and eyes, breathes fire, has a laser drill tail and a laser whip! Also long, flowing, blond hair and a sailor suit. Fear of the Godzilla Threshold prevents Teal from using it proactively; it also has a limited battery life. Probably won't be called in. |
The Azure gets it's own Character Sheet!
NPF Azure SpaceShip: Gender: Classically, all ships are female. Age: 4 Months (she's a big girl!) Height & Weight: Big enough for Intern Nin to get lost in. Likes: Being a Spaceship with LAZERS/LASERS! Dislikes: Being blown up. Also, is afraid of small, enclosed spaces. Weapons:
Tools:
Amenities:

Hmm, missed out on doing something with Geist, out of time. I'll post something up soonish.
To summarise my somewhat wordy post: Arhra I said vague threats and vanished in an enigmatic, villainous manner. Arhra V sped on right past Inbred and that Admiral fellow, blew up a lot of debris that would otherwise have hit the NPF and is trying to eat the enemy spaceship in order to stop it colliding with the NPF. To help that along, she's shut down all her weapon systems and shed most of her armour to concentrate all her resources on assimilation. Haven't really had a chance to show how downright reality warping she gets when doing that until now. Fun. She's also singing. The original context of that particular song makes it all the more amusing to me. To throw in a few other random details, those hair clip things are the transmitters of the comms gear. Since you cannot talk in a vacuum, clearly the only answer is hairclips that pick up and transmit the brainwaves connected to speaking. The D-type equipment for space dragons consists of the filtration equipment that goes in the throat for non-suffocation and plasma-bolt firing goodness, a thruster array that mounts on to each wing, a saddle-like backpack that contains the powerpack and is wired up to said thrusts and miscellaneous extras like filtration plugs for the ears and nostrils and a sort of contact lense to protect the eyes. Lastly, here's a handy-dandy listing of our current angry pill stocks: AB has 1 Mauve has 1 Shyria ate 1, but it ran out already? Arhra V ate 2 Bard has 2 Rose ate 4 Steel ate 4 and is guarding the remaining cache of 3 |
Oh Maaaaaauve!
I hate to put a damper on that X-Wing lust of your's, but I have some horrible news. You see, it was last seen in the Discussion Forum just before it was nuked by a falling space colony. It would probably be easier just to buy a new spaceship now! Because the repair bill for that thing will be enormous. |
Yeah, the Fury on Shyria ran out back when Pyros went Saxton Hale on her face. The super-duper space suit should more than cut it.
Fun fact: For a while there, I misread Inbred Chocobo's post and thought he'd thrown the Valker general into me, rather than the reverse, so I considered renacting this bit here. A second reading got the better of me, though, and I figured it'd probably be a bit too OP anyways, so I cut it. |

MY SADNESS IS INFINITE!!!!! |
When this RP goes on Hiatus, Dr. Ethington can get a lot of science work done.
Oh whatever Mauve, those things come off the Assembly line on the cheap anyway. Are you pouting? Please don't pout, You're a fully grown mage and shouldn't you have something magic to fly anyway, featherfall plus haste or something? Don't make that face! It's not becoming of you! It's like that bicycle you wanted when you were four or something, you had to just grow up and live without- OKAY FINE FINE, I'll reassemble your silly X-Wing from it's stupid atoms! SEE IF I CARE HOW LONG IT TAKES TO REPAIR AN X-W
oh hey it's done. http://lifeofando.files.wordpress.com/2007/10/xwing.jpg |
:dance:
And life is good again!! |
Given time, I'll post sheets about Armored's Azure Aesir and it's crew members. It'll be very brief, because the Azure Aesir has an ample crew.
|
I have a question: When does the next Avvy rpg start? Not to sound like an ass or anything, but do any of you have any idea when the current Avvy will end?
|
Fucking never. Though really I don't know, I figure this chapter should finally kill off those bastards once and for all and we can move on to new enemies and new management as usual, but for now we are blah.
|
No one really knows how long the rp will run, actually. :sweatdrop: I assume we're getting close to the end since we're reaching the original enemy's base, but that's the GM's call.
Usually how these games work is that we finish one, wait between a few weeks to a few months, and then start voting to create a new one. We vote for plotlines and GM, usually. And the reason we have a waiting period between games is to rebuild creative energy/enthusiasm for them-- Avvy RPs tend to last a very long time and if we try to run them back-to-back, people get bored/burned out and the game dies. |
I give it three - four more months.
|
Just as planned!
Quote:
Wait a moment... Anyway, I'll second that estimate of four months. That's assuming, if no-one minds, we also finish off my ridiculous caretaker GM plot once the Fury fight is over. Should be short - all that's left is confronting the final boss and fighting to save the future of the NPF. On the Moon! Also the significance of unconsciousness, silvery glyphs, people being inexplicably murderous, time travel, junctioning, flying cities and the Moon is revealed. Quote:
|
Just did it. Really regretting that the D-suit doesn't have a built-in mouthwash dispenser.
|
Assuming you had IC's permission for that post Shyria.
Anyway, there's mine. Pretty basic! I thought about going on from there, skipping hand-in-hand with Bard through the void and singing a pretty song from Evangelion about Carnage and killing and other wonderful, wonderful, wonderful things, but I thought I should give him a chance to escape my evil grasp first. I recommend having a very plausible excuse, however. In other words! I said nothing important. |
Oh dear, it seems I have started something with my chatter about how hilarious I find the Ominous English Chanting that Rebuild of Evangelion is filled with.
Anyway, since the ship is not able to put up a fight and drugs mean that the things that would normally stop Arhra V from eating an entire spaceship are not stopping her from eating an entire spaceship, well... if giant explosions were to happen for any reason, now is probably the time. Because nothing good can possibly come of a city sized Arhra V. Also, sorry for being so slow on the thing responding to Geist Bard. I had a thing about going to the Science Lab planned and then I realised Arhra VII had never actually been there. EDIT: Also your PM inbox is full. Just wanted to check how long you wanted to draw out the quest for space with Geist and I'm pretty open on what we do, although I would like to pop by the tower top at some point to set up something. Feel free to make Arhra do whatever you want. And don't worry if you need to summon Geist for anything, I'll figure out something. |

Does eating a Valker Hyped up on Fury - like Shyria did - transfer the Fury the Valker had to her? It seemed like an important question! |
Answer: It doesn't really matter now, as everyone gets a full soaking of energy.
Everyone gains these abilities until I say otherwise Nigh-infinite energy: When you pour everything you have into an attack and launch it, destroying worlds and species in one move, once the attack is over you feel like you walked 5 feet. Its almost impossible to use up all this energy, and you are just soaked with it. Nigh-invulnerability: While your body still takes damage like it always does, you don't feel it, it doesn't slow you down, and until the Furian is gone, injuries have no negatives effects at all. Furian energy can and will work functions of missing body parts and limbs and organs even if the physical part of it is not there. Amped up to 11: Basically, your powers and abilities can do so much more than they used to be. Gods and being that created this universe now tremble before the power you contain. Sounds fun. |
Very basics of Overcast-Meta is that he is the being that Overcast serves as an avatar for. In all honesty it is me and the main strength is the Box-like immortality is now for everything because I know everything in this is just over the top fiction and so it can't actually stop me. Beyond that all the skills that Overcast has, only no random chance and he can do it without touching anything.
Overkill really. |
Destroying worlds casually?
Eh, not really a fan of late stage Dragonball Z/GT type stuff. |
I have a feeling we are supposed to be fighting each other. As a note, if we aren't I am still treating it like we are, because OC-Meta doesn't think our current storyline enemies are exciting enough to fight anymore.
|
Somehow, trying to team kill each other while we're invincible seems counterproductive.
|
Counterproductive.... or superproductive?
|
You're going to notice that Overcast-Meta doesn't care about what is productive, only what is interesting. Just about everyone right now could point at the Valkers and make them die, why shouldn't we suddenly break out in superbattles? What other awesome thing could we do now that we are this high up the echeladder?
What I'm getting at is that there is no reason for us to be this strong. None. So we have to make one. EDIT: Mauve reminds us that you can never really fully trust Shyria not to be dragonly. |
What? Pyros has always been this strong. You peons merely get the chance to feel, for a brief (in Avvy time, in real time it'll probably be a few more months) what it's like to be Pyros Fucking "Awesome" "Forever" Nine.
This will also end in tears entirely for that reason. |
Well, I'm a trouble factory at the best of times.
Hmm, this shall require DEEP THOUGHT on coming up with something that stands out from background levels of havoc. |
You should build a robot army whose sole purpose is to destroy all humans because in your fury enhanced state humans are little better than insects thanks to exaggerated super-cyborg perceptions, so you use your powers to make these super robots who are tougher and more powerful than any enemy thus far, only to realize that after you run out of fury, you will become weaker than said robots who will supplant you as their leader and seek to destroy you as well because you are too human-ish.
|
Just as a note to both Shyria and Mauve, because going back I can see where I didn't make it clear, the wave of Furian energy was going a lot faster than you guys were flying backwards, so you both are soaked too.
In fact, if you have doubts if you were or not, you are. |
I was going to do more, but I am very tired.
Man, it's been a lot of work setting things up for a dumb joke about the number nine. The exciting fate of a robot that comes within a five mile radius of Arhra V was, unfortunately, what got dropped from this post. |
Start up the rape fics folks, Robo-OC's fate is not going to end well.

There is this odd degree of wonder how long I'm supposed to wait until I respond. A little bit confusing.
Also the title led me to think up a great deal too many electronic component puns related to sex. Also didn't that place get blown up in the terrible tragedy of the misaligned satellite? |
Arhra IX knows it's all about her.
Sometimes you just need a good rant, even if it's the endboss you're whining about your troubles to. And Pyros, you ended up being surprisingly close. I had all of the V portion already written except the middle of the conversation. |

The other IX probably won't be too amused though. |
So when you're charging up the PMS cannon, does everyone on board get headaches and become cranky, and crave pizza?
|
They might after it fires. The PMS cannon packs one hell of a recoil whallop, and while the Aesir does have a recoil diminishing booster attached that will reduce the recoil, it'll still rock their worlds a little.
Still, it's also possible that Fury Shyria and Fury Mauve (who's high on Cranberry Sierra Mist) will destroy that ship before the cannon is ready to cu-ergh, fire. Fire is what I said. |
Quote:
Cities are very big. It will take some time for a Dragon/Mage to smash it all. |
Well, it's probably not as bad as the NATAL Cannon. That's one hell of a charge time!
Also I have just been shot. This will end badly for everyone involved I am sure, huzzah! |
Saying that Shyria and Mauve cannot destroy a ship that large in several minutes sounds like a grievous insult to the both of them...
As well as a challenge. Show 'im, girls! |
I think that one or two people may have forgotten something about the Valker ship.
Mainly the bit about it being possessed by a cybernetic horror from beyond the ordered stars. That is on drugs. That reminds me - the whole crew of the Aesir should be all furied up too. Anyway, Arhra V just can't stop abducting people and/or robots it seems. EDIT: And also she starts popping out miniboss squads if given godlike power, apparently. That post didn't end in a way I thought it would. Anyway, I know the ASURAs are outmatched by the Aesir group considering all of the drugs and such, but I'm not quite sure how much by. EDIT AGAIN: So it seemed to be funny to just have them zerg two people. Didn't come out as funny as I would hav eliked because I am very tired. Ah well. |
So it's official, we've all been doped up with the intergalactic-multidimensional pieces of Chuck Norris.
|
Oh look!
Fanservice. I felt that was an appropriate way to remind everyone that I'm still in the game. I've gotten IC's approval on this, but, for everyone else, here's what that card turns into, and what it does. Quote:
Ah, and in case my description of the Card's text wasn't clear enough, here's what the three lines would look like. Quote:
|
I suck in so many ways.
My apologies for everything. To give a summary: Arhra V: *shoots Robo Overcast into the Sun* ASURAs: Type-A (to Alean and Alucard): "Imma block all your attacks forever!" Type-B: "Not my pretty face!" *Immobilised by roundhouse kick* Type-C (to Maya and Sophie): "I can make sword whirlwinds with my sword that turns into an arbitrarily long whip. Did you know that?" Type-D (to Kira): "HUUUGGGGSSSSS!" Type-E (to Maya and Sophie): "I can blow you up with a Mana Cannon while you are trapped in a sword whirlwind, y'know?" Arhra IX: "To stop being ill I have decided to become a god, indirectly destroying the NPF in the process. THIS PLAN CANNOT FAIL." |
Quote:
I mean such a dramatic and well-described transformation sequence absolutely begs a change of plans, but I would like to know how he reacted to being hauled through a fury-made wormhole before I change them! And besides, there is most certainly something you can do to help now. Doesn't even involve temporal terrorism! No more than usual, any way. Anyway, when Christmas ends and I take care of two other commitments, I'll do something to continue the interesting nature of this scene. Won't respond in kind to Arhra IX, of course. That would copycatting and copycats are lame. |
I'll post tomorrow.
Maybe. I don't know. Leave me alone I'm playing Phoenix Wright! |
So what has happened to Inbred?
|
Probably doing holiday-type stuff.
|
I think it's safe to start wondering about what to do from here. It's been a little over a weak since Arhra posted, and there's still not been a peep from Inbred, even in the OoC.
Do we just assume its dead or handwave the remainder of the scene and let Arhra take over to finish the last fragments of his sub-plot? Don't really have a preference myself, but I understand that Avatar games are supposed to have continuity of some sort, so I was wondering how letting these things die goes. |
You kill it and we haphazardly shift elsewyr. Or so I think. Have stabbing implements ready for when it comes.
|
I have been slacking severely in my posts.
I have disgraced my ancestors and shamed myself. |
I hope Arhra's okay. Doesn't he live in Australia? I hear parts of the country are without power/ facing severe flooding. :(
|
He lives in Australia, yeah.
I haven't seen him online recently, which is pretty unusual, but the flooding would explain that nicely. Though it is a rather worrying thought. Not much to do but wait and see though, I suppose. He'll get in touch with us when he can. |
Maybe in the meantime I can just have you all be attacked by Random Badgers until Arhra gives proof of life or IC gives proof of not being too busy?
|
I don't understand why for the life of me, but I approve of this turn of events!
Maybe its because this is the least overpowered thing to happen in a while, and its actually kinda funny. I say if IC doesn't give proof of not being too busy, we assume the Scary Endboss Robo got mauled by Space Badgers until he could no longer be an Endboss! It would be a wonderful end, don't you agree? Of course you do. Once Steel replies to me (or I get incredably bored of waiting for Steel to Reply to me) I'll reply to this. Totally will! |
Luckily I (and my entire family) are pretty much unaffected by the floods.
I just wasn't able to use the internet for the last week for entirely unrelated reasons. |
Good to hear you're okay, Arhra! We were worried. And welcome back!
|
Quote:
I'll see what I can do to move things along for you guys, sorry bout that. |
In the meantime, do I take P9's post seriously?
Not that I disagree with it, I'm jus' asking. |
Question becomes do you want to fight badgers or the final boss?
