Oh god, if an immortal suit got put on James...

Well, at least he wouldn't just be sitting there being useless, right?

The suit would freak out and literally run out of the base in sheer terror from the utter mess that is James' mind.

Tarran has the "Tarran Bug", a bug which causes the affected character to repeatedly hit teammates while dual-wielding instead of whatever the hell he is shooting at.

Of course, if we got one for you, it would really be effective for clearing out the base because it will only hit allies if it ends up dual-wielding.

Either that, or somehow link with the Shadow instead of James' own consciousness.  Then he could walk around with the suit and retain control.  Mind you, the lobotomy might hurt like heck and make him useless.

Considering the utter bad-ass that James is when it comes to punching things, this sounds totally believable.  Your brain would psionically grow a fist and punch the Immortal lobotomizers until they get the freakin' message.

That's true.  On top of that, even if it didn't, he'd probably be blind, what with the little lobotomizers going through the eyes and all.

... Alright then, just give James a hit to the head or two.  Make sure Dom doesn't do it, otherwise he might be missing a head afterwards.

EDIT:  My stats:

STR:  12-14 - I can do some heavy lifting up to about 60-70 kilos.
DEX:  8-14 - I tend to trip a lot, but always seem to catch myself.
AGI:  2 - I've got the movement speed of a sloth.
CON:  16 - Despite insomnia, sinus issues and asthma, I'm relatively healthy.  I rarely get sick.  And if I do, I become immune to the illness pretty quickly.
END:  18/00 - I was up and moving about 3 minutes after having my appendix removed.  I walked around for 3+ hours with a broken hand.  I've been beaten up by groups of 8 or more students and walked away without issue.
INT:  16-18 - Egotistical, perhaps, but it's made up for with my wisdom.  Anyhoo, I can self-teach myself most anything, and observe most things from at least three different perspectives.
WIS:  0 - I'm as dense as lead.  Possibly even more dense than lead.
CHA:  14-16 - I seem to be a pretty likeable person.  Ugly as sin, but likeable regardless.
LUK:  -25 - Considering what I've been through, this seems reasonably accurate.

EDIT2:  I just proved my luck.  I slipped and fell on the stairs while climbing them.  Smashed up my knee and right arm a tad.  Ow.

EDIT3:  FINALLY!  I have read the 6800+ posts of this topic!  AT LAAAAAAAAST~~~!

... And now I have to wait for more!  CRAP!

EDIT4:  Insomniaaaaaa~~~!

@Cepheid Edit 3: I hear ya. I was like that when I found Darths and Droids; I read the whole thing up to about the middle of Episode 3 (where it was at when I started), and then I was like 'well, shit. Now I have to read the rest on the same schedule as everyone else.'

@Edit 2: ...Groups of 8 or more students? O.o Wut?

@Edit 2: ...Groups of 8 or more students? O.o Wut?

Put simply, I didn't get along with the other students.  I was picked on a lot because people thought I was dumb as a brick, or too quiet for their liking.  There were a few scenarios where I was attacked by groups of up to 8 students in attempt to put me out of school for a few days to a few weeks.

The most frequent reasons people thought those kinds of things of me were because I was born with a hearing impairment.  This made picking up speech quite hard, along with using it.  I had a lisp, and I would always ask people to repeat themselves.  People took that as a sign that I was an idiot because I couldn't understand what they were saying.  I kept quiet mostly because I was more likely to be picked on if I tried talking to anyone.

One student even pulled a knife on me for these reasons.  That... didn't go over so well.

Oh, and while this all sounds bad, I got my revenge at 13 years of age.  I had enough of the bullying, and one day, a bully decides to push me over the edge.  Smashed the ever living shit out of him to the point that he was afraid to go into the school while I was inside it.  I got suspended, but not for the fight.  It turns out that the school didn't take too kindly to me cursing and swearing in a rage towards a volunteer worker.  Also didn't help that it was in front of a bunch of 5 year old kids.

Haven't gotten into a fight since.  Mostly because I opted not to go to high school.

EDIT:  In all honesty, I share a lot of traits with your character, Dominique.  I'm violent, and I seek out fights.  The primary difference is that I have self control.  I hold myself back from doing something truly stupid.  Most of the time, anyways.  I'm pretty sure that professor still has a lot of hatred towards me. >.>;  *Coughs*

EDIT2:  This is quite literally the only problem with being awake at night.  I have no one to talk to, and I am often too tired to work, and not interested in any more gaming.  The result?  I sort of just sit here in my bed, with my laptop on my lap, and lurk the forums or read.  *Reads CvRTD.*

Uh, wow.

Dude. My goodness. Your life sounds... well, like you definitely have a luck of -25. Or -50.

You seem to be taking it well, though, based on your post. You've got quite a bit of will.

Used to be that I was incredibly depressed over a lot of it.  But these days, I take it in stride, mostly because a lot of my better skills and traits are a direct result of the early years of my life.  Sure, it was hell, but it was worth it.

I took a correspondence course instead of attending high school.  That's where I learned to self-teach myself.  I also got an excessive amount of skill with a computer, thanks to lack of a social life.  I've been writing code since I was 10 years old, as well.

And for the inexplicable miracle/curse.  My hearing impairment?  Disappeared at age 16.  It was caused by a permanent inner ear infection.  Ironically, that's about the same time my sinus issues started.  So the two might be related.  It's effectively a miracle because it's unheard of for most people with a hearing impairment to regain ALL of their hearing.  It's a curse because it brought with it a set of problems.

Most people learn to tune out background noise early on in life.  When you have a 70% hearing loss in both ears, you don't learn this critical skill.  Going from 70% loss in hearing to 0% is kind of jarring.

I've since adapted to it somewhat, and when I can't handle the noise, I just throw on a pair of noise canceling headphones.

The only real problem I can't get a handle on is my temper, and I doubt it'll ever be fully controllable.  Currently, the best I can muster is avoiding hurting others.  I usually end up venting by punching benches or solid walls.  Word of the wise, don't punch benches.  It's how I broke my hand.

But yeah.  Crappy life, but eh.  What can I do about it now?  Better to just move on and keep doing what I enjoy.  Sooner or later, karma will reward me somehow.

Besides, it's that crappy life that made me the interesting person I appear to be today.

Alrighty, let's re-rail this train of madmen, pornography, and psychics.

Wolfchild, assuming the immediate immortal was brutally killed before you had a chance to act, what would your action be?

I'm working on the turn. If Wolfchild doesn't respond by the time I'm done, then Ash will just stand and marvel at triple digit damage figures.
