I found the perfect for current Arc!

Evanescence-Going Under

Now I will tell you what I’ve done for you
50,000 tears I cry
Screaming,
Deceiving,
And bleeding for you
And you still won’t hear me
....go away....
Don’t want your hand this time
I’ll save myself
Maybe I’ll wake up for once (wake up for once)
Not tormented daily defeated by you
Just when I thought I’d reach the bottom

[chorus]
I dive again
I’m going under (going under)
Drowning with you (drowning with you)
I’m falling forever (falling forever)
I’ve got to break through
I’m, going under

Blurring and stirring the truth that comes out
(I don’t know what’s real and what’s not)
Always confusing the thoughts is my head
So I can’t trust myself anymore

I dive again
I’m going under (going under)
Drowning with you (drowning with you)
I’m falling forever (falling forever)
I’ve got to break through,
I’m, so go on and scream
Scream at me, so far away
I won’t be broken again
I’ve got to breathe
I can’t keep going under

I dive again
I’m going under (going under)
Drowning with you (drowning with you)
I’m falling forever (falling forever)
I’ve got to break through,
I’m, going under (going under)
Going under (drowning with you)
I’m going under


Guess who it's referring to?

I thought this little piece by Manson fits Daemon well. It basically says that he's a god and he's drunk with power. I feel like it works because Daemon is, well, a god amongst ants and is probably going to end up rebelling against us (you said so yourself, IHMN ^.^; ). Powerful beyond reason and hungry for blood...sounds like Daemon to me. ^^; He's also screaming straight out through the chorus, which I feel adds to the illusion of power (well, Manson has to make an illusion, at least. Daemon certainly doesn't :D ). I imagine Daemon dressed in elaborate, decadent robes and sitting atop a ghastly throne in the middle of a bloody room, in a relaxed pose with his left arm draped on its armrest and his chin on his right fist and grinning so widely during this one. Heehee. n.n; Anyway, 'tis just a suggestion. Take it with a grain of salt.

"The Reflecting God", By Marilyn Manson - from "Antichrist Superstar"

Your world is an ashtray,
We burn and coil like cigarettes,
The more you cry your ashes turn to mud.
It's the nature of the leeches, the virgin's feeling cheated,
You've only spent a second of your life.
My world is unaffected, there is an exit here,
I say it is and then it's true.
There is a dream inside a dream,
I'm wide awake the more I sleep,
You'll understand when I'm dead.

I went to god just to see, and I was looking at me.
Saw heaven and hell were lies.
When I'm god everyone dies!
Scar, Scar, can you feel my power?!
Shoot here and the world gets smaller!
Scar, scar, can you feel my power?!
One shot and the world gets smaller!

Let's jump upon the sharp swords and cut away our smiles.
Without the threat of death, there's no reason to live at all.
My world is unaffected, there is an exit here,
I say it is and then it's true.
There is a dream inside a dream,
I'm wide awake the more I sleep,
You'll understand when I'm dead.

I went to god just to see, and I was looking at me.
Saw heaven and hell were lies.
When I'm god everyone dies!
Scar, scar, can you feel my power?!
Shoot here and the world gets smaller!
Scar, scar, can you feel my power?!
One shot and the world gets smaller!
Scar, scar, can you feel my power?!
Shoot here and the world gets smaller!
Shoot, shoot, shoot, motherf***er!
Shoot, shoot, shoot motherf***er!

"Each thing I show you is a piece of my death!"
No salvation (hah hah), no forgiveness (hah hah) [repeated]
"This is beyond your experience!"
Forgiveness! [repeated]

I went to God just to see, and I was looking at me.
Saw heaven and hell were lies.
When I'm god everyone dies!
Scar, scar, can you feel my power?!
Shoot here and the world gets smaller!
Scar, scar, can you feel my power?!
Shoot here and the world gets smaller!
Scar, scar, can you feel my power?!
Shoot here and the world gets smaller!
Scar, scar, can you feel my power?!
One shot and the world gets smaller!
Shoot, shoot, shoot motherf***er!
Shoot, shoot, shoot motherf***er!
Shoot, shoot, shoot motherf***er!
Shoot, shoot, shoot motherf***er!

And if not that one, then I suggest the Fierce Battle theme from Chrono Trigger (called Boss Battle 2). It plays during both Tyranos, the Moon Stone battle, and with Masamune. It's straight up, pounding kettle drums and trumpets, never letting up but stomping steadily forward -- never at a rushed pace, with timely flourishes. It reeks of power...but not just any power: it's a steady, brutal, and fierce strength that knows how to pace itself, never letting up for a moment except to taunt us or prepare for an extra heavy blow...and I feel that's Daemon: Steady, utterly overwhelming power that knows no bounds nor fatigue. Once it's going, it never, ever stops until its bloodlust has been satisfied...or until it's dead.

Pfft...as if that'd ever happen to a god. ;)

***

Somehow, FF7's Jenova theme (version 1, not Uber Jenova) sounds appropriate, too. It's frantic...hectic...grand, paced, fierce...a battle with Daemon's likely to get frenetic in a hurry, since he's so powerful and fast. But, I don't think it'd do the job nearly as well as "Reflecting God" and "CT Boss Battle 2". "One-Winged Angel" just sounds too grand for Daemon, who's not regal in any way. He's purely brutal and fierce...there ain't nothin' refined or toned with his style. ;) Same with "Jenova 2".

***

I'll be poofing away now... o.o;

... Dead on. You are all ants, puny little ants.

And you'll see his 'style' once we get moving again, and once Dante is done with his Dante thing.

I smell a challange... I think Dezil is getting an idea for an invention...

He'd better, because I already know three or four ways that Ciaran could give the heros at least a fair chance against Dante... but I got nothing for Deamon.

*smacks* Bad Zephir! No more boosting IHMN's ego towards Daemon more than it already is.

Just wondering...

Is the 'Dante thing' done yet? I'd have to say I'm curious...

No... you'll KNOW when the Dante thing is done... because... well, you just will. Judging by the last thing Dante sent me in PMs.

I'm not sure 100%, but let me put it this way. If the Dante scene was a cinematic, it would need a save point half way through...

It's called Xenosaga.

Oh goody, then we get Daemon running around being unstoppable.


Then we get plot advance...plot advance....and more plot advance! Then the happy little gerbils run around at the joy of a completed RP, yay!


Woah....what is in that stuff.......

See, I try to warn people about taking illicit substances for just that reason SS...

I haven't played it, but the cut scene with saves is infamous, thus the reference.

And the top minds in the field of Fake Enigineering in the FF Universe are working on a solution to the Deamon problem as we speak...

Does it involve a really really really really really really really really really really really really really really *inhale* really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really big gun?

No... but that's Brilliant! (Sorry, had to get it out of my system...)

While Big Guns are always an excellent addition to any RPG, the current solution involves no big guns. However, the final solution may include a big gun, just so we can say we have had a big gun in the RP... and because they're really big and shiny and fun for the whole family! This gives me an idea for the Omake thread...

Oh yes, we should definately incorporate a big gun into the current solution...

Of course. There's not a problem in existance that can't be solved by shooting it enough times in the right places, with the right gun.

So....

MY SAD ATTEMPT AT AN EXPLOSION!

Deamon is the thing that will connect everyone together, so he's allowed to run around being unstopable.

...okay...

I think I've been skimming too quickly through this thread, but ever since when did Daemon hold the group together?

I like the shiny gun idea, though...we need one of those...

Regarding the Death-materia feilds (BTW, good idea krylo), wouldn't it kill any magitek pilot using it? Or would it be used by themselves without Magitek?

He isn't at the moment, I said he is going to...

I need to pay more attention then :D My bad.

Wouldn't having Daemon there drive Arc away?

I mean, he /has/ tried to kill him exclusively three times now.

Obviously it would have to be used without pilots... probably as like... mines or something... or the pilots could have some sort of protection (like a miniature A-M field around themselves... after all, the magical field affects are still magic). For the most part, however, I didn't make it thinking it would be all that effective against your group, with Dezil in it and all... but rather just because it'd be cool to see it activated.

Deamon tried to kill everyone, I've just pointed you out.

And you can use one of those mines on Deamon (If you get them before the end of the Dante thing).

I just had an idea...

Couldn't 'death' feild be altered in some way to raise undead? Like glitching a 'life' spell inside a death field in a graveyard, or something. I bet Cieran would love an army of loyal undead at his command.

SHHH, Don't give him any ideas!

But now that it's too late to prevent the idea from getting out, what he would need is a Zombie Field that casts the Zombie spell over a wide area.

I kinda figured they wouldn't work on him for some reason or another... with the general reason being it'd be way too cheap for getting rid of a villain of his, eventual, caliber... but I don't know if we're even going to try it yet.

And yah... An undead field would be interesting... I'll make a note to have Ciaran meet with the Black Mage Council before Dante wipes them out (I assume he's going to because they attacked him), and find out how the whole necromancy/raising the dead bit works.

Edit: Or FZ could just point out the zombie spell that I forgot about for a second there... either or. Regardless, I won't have him work on that one for awhile...

Also: that reminds me... Dante mentioned the magesight thing in one of his posts... I was wondering if anyone who was trained in magic would have that, or if it's something only more powerful mages would have. I'm not really sure if Ciaran would have it or not... he's decent at black magic, but he's nowhere near powerful... (anything past a 'level one' spell would leave him tapped out...)

Well, he was fighing high trained mage's council people, and they had no idea what was going on (I'm assuming your talking about that magic blade thing he was using), so I really doubt Ciaran can do it...

And it would.. Semi-work... (THe death field thing on Deamon)

Well, they didn't know what was happening... I'm not sure if they could see the blades, or if they just had no idea how he was creating the blades... but yah, I was figuring he probably wouldn't be able to see it either... just wasn't sure.

I'm makin' a new discussion thread, we've broken the post limit.
