"Arcturus Mengsk. There's a name that is synonymous with terror, betrayal and violence. A living example of the ends justifying the means. The assassin of the Confederacy of Man. The hero of the blasted world of Korhal IV. King of the universe. A savage barbarian who never let anything or anyone get in his way. And yet, he is charming, erudite and intelligent. When you're in his presence you feel that he's really listening to you, that your opinions matter, that you're someone important if you agree with him. It's amazing. I have often wondered if men like Mengsk don't carry around their own reality-warping bubbles, and all who fall in are suddenly transported to another dimension where the hellish things he says and does suddenly make sense. At least, that's the effect he always had on me."

- Michael Liberty

This is the one I submitted.

[Sarcasm]I am really embarrassed about being 13 years old and that English is my third language[/Sarcasm]

You stand corrected Maxicaxi.

[maxicaxi]

sorry everyone

Right- given a fortress of choice, The Stranger would probably choose Spire.

It's a prison world that's a floating island (or a few islands connected by floating rocks on zip lines, on account of the prisoner who was there for ten years). It's floating over a dying green sun. Don't fall off. It also has numerous complicated locks blocking progress (of course) and rocks that suddenly become live hand grenades for all intents and purposes when exposed to a specific frequency of sound (a machine needs to be activated for that).

Under any circumstances he can reliably have a hand crossbow (only useful for killing a single, unarmored person really) and a linking book- which acts as a teleporter to a specific location, but stays behind when used.

Caught unawares he (she?) may well be in the library on Myst Island, which among other things has linking books to D'ni (a very dwarfy underground city with miles of natural and artificial fortresses, as well as some steampunk gun turrets), Releeshan (the only populated area, where there are plenty of people loyal to him, but few soldiers) and Channelwood (a set of treehouses and docks on a flooded forest, which has a cache of medieval weapons).

If forced to hide The Stranger could likely evade anyone for centuries until his descendants are contacted by archaeologists, but we would probably consider that to be a defeat.

Well concerning hostile environment i will propably win....
I think i take a mix of those two:
The current and the former Homeworld of the Death Guard, Barbarus:

It is a Feral World which orbited near its dim yellow sun. The atmosphere is thick with virulent gases and a constant fog is spread across the planet. This makes it a very dark, dismal place of night with short, shadowy days. Only below the fog could humans survive, in the valleys and low plains.
Beings immune to the toxic fog survived within the toxic cloud and built great grey keeps in the mountains.

Anybody going to suggest the location for Ozymandias?
The city? His base in, was it the Himalayas?
What about technology?

[kilakan]

well we have to wait for the guy who submitted ozymandias to choose, then we can get rolling..

[Sensei]

I propose any yutz can make arguments for/against anyone they choose, when relevant. Since not everybody seems to be following their character.

[ein]

I propose any yutz can make arguments for/against anyone they choose, when relevant. Since not everybody seems to be following their character.

And I'd rather not do it myself, to remain neutral.

[aurixdarastrix]

I propose any yutz can make arguments for/against anyone they choose, when relevant. Since not everybody seems to be following their character.

I intend to do this.   I already have it all planned out.  Who needs to win against who in order to give my submissions the maximum possible advantage.  And how to get them to win.  And how to counter those arguments.  And...

[Ottofar]

Ozzy's home would be his Antarctis retreat, and technology... We-ell. Somebody suggest something.

Hello? HELLO!
