((John's an ex-mechanic out for power.  He's willing to do what it takes, though he understands that simply screwing people over for power leaves you with lots of enemies.


Also, he has cool power choice descriptions.  "Sometimes you have to jump, summon an ATV in midair, and then land on it and run away just for the sake of being awesome."))

[Xantalos]

((Huh. I may be the most flat character of the lot in that Alan's just a bugfuck nuts guy with an overinflated ego and lack of any kind, including common, sense.))

[Lenglon]

((Irine has been close-mouthed about her background, but if you want a summary of her look at the early posts of the game where she was getting harassed by Ike.))

[Harry Baldman]

((Huh. I may be the most flat character of the lot in that Alan's just a bugfuck nuts guy with an overinflated ego and lack of any kind, including common, sense.))

((Ike's pretty flat as well, in that he's mostly this guy from the woods who's okay with the way things tend to happen. Right now, he's a bit confused about what's going on, but goes along with it anyway.))

((Eria an exiled lizard woman with blue scale and ice powers. She used to killing, but will let someone live if there no real point. She has no real goal beyond survive at the moment.))

[Fniff]

(Jordan's a hitman who is used to crazy shit as long as he gets paid. I think the fact that he cared more about getting a shitton of money from this rather then the promised god-like power says a lot about his character.)

[GreatWyrmGold]

((Yeah, that he doesn't think things ahead.))

[Fniff]

(Precisely. That, and he doesn't really want ultimate power. Who wants the work?)

[GreatWyrmGold]

((Doesn't ultimate power, by definition, mean you have to do LESS work? I mean, sure, it's more if you go by the Ben Parker Theory of Power, but it's pretty easy to ignore responsibility if you want to.))

[Fniff]

(Not really. I mean, let's say you won a really fast supercar in a contest. Driving it is ten times harder then driving a regular car, and you are almost certainly going to get arrested if you try to drive it at the speeds where it's hyperfast engine would matter. You could just not drive it... but then you have this cool car in the garage just gathering dust while you spend your entire time just driving around in a sedan or something. Besides, ultimate power really isn't that ultimate when the people rewarding it to you would have to be either extremely stupid or giving you power that's below theirs.)

[GreatWyrmGold]

((If the supercar is really that much harder to drive at normal speeds, it's comparable to a specific power that has some use but comes with major drawbacks. Not much like ultimate power at all.))

[Fniff]

(Better metaphor: you crash way harder in the supercar.)

[DarkArtemisFowl]

((That's why you take precautions not to crash, and assuming this is indeed an "ultimate" power, you should have perfect handling, speed, and acceleration in this car.))

[Fniff]

(The problem is, it can't be ultimate, unless the entities are very short-sighted.)

[DarkArtemisFowl]

((What if these entities are tired or bored of their jobs, so they're looking for successors to replace themselves?))
