Yeah I dunno It just kinda seemed really random because I was fine with the Self-Aware/Sentient Symbiote but that Demon Transformation just blindsided me a bit. But yeah just procede.

[jc6036]

I have to figure out why it blind sided you though. It would help me be a better player and help everybody have more fun. Did I not hint at it enough? I did only make a couple of posts about how Kilian was a demonic being from the Aetherplane, and how he could let Kine take over his body. Should I have dropped more than one or two posts stating it? Was it just the transformation that caught you by surprise or the actual fact that Kilian is an Aetherbeing?

[cerapa]

For me it was the transformation.

The aetherbeing, not so much.

[Riccto]

That was it for me.

[The Fool]

Gotta love being an Aetherbeing. Some more hinting would have been nice. From the beginning there have been some hints at Killian's body possession, but they were far too subtle. I don't mind though since I dislike when things are way too obvious.

EDIT: Anyone want to RP the Doctor for a minute? I was in the middle of attempting to reason with him. It's either he tries to separate from his corruption, which I'd fight, or if the Doctor refuses I fight him, which should end badly without any help. Fighting demi-gods is a rather difficult goal. I might just kill my character off if there is no winning. I'll roll another up if that happens.

EDIT2: I rolled Portal Creation as a power for if/when I die. It almost seems as if Lex wouldn't have a place in this after Jules and the Doctor is gone from the world since they are the major external sources of chaos. I'll have to think about that.

[jc6036]

Thanks for the input guys! Sorry if I caught you off guard, heh heh. Also, Lex seems to be a very cool character, it would suck for him to be killed off.  EDIT: Is Jules in a host right now, or his true form? If he's in his true form, wouldn't he need thrown through a portal?

[The Fool]

Who knows. Maybe Peter has a rift generator? That is about the only thing that would do it.

[ShoesandHats]

Could someone summarize the story for me so far? I joined 31 pages in, putting me at quite a disadvantage.

[Shootandrun]

All right then. The story started with an attack on the city by someone named the Beast Master when he sent out a mob of gorillas. Once the supers were gathered vans drove up and attempted a snatch and grab of any supers. We responded with deadly force and all the vans were destroyed despite Wei Lung's attempt to deter people using a wall of blood knives. As it turns out there were power inhibitors in some of the vans, they were prototypes of the more powerful Buster-made inhibitors. This meant that there was a chance that the Boosters were involved in the attack. The attack was stopped in a rather violent way increasing tensions between the supers and the normal people. One of the supers, James Kine, attempted to form a radicalist group to make a place in the city for supers to live in peace.

The next day one of the supers (now named Lex) attempted to show up for the first meeting of the group only to find trucks with the same logo-work as the vans that attempted the snatch and grab the day before. He followed the vans and ended up at the dockyard, which was heavily fortified with turrets and security forces. Wanting to find the person who made him for revenge he entered the compound violently. The commotion made Kine call off the meeting for now and he waited for the super to come out in an attempt to recruit him and anyone else involved. Lex got to the elevator where two demi-god figures had just met, one of which was Lex's creator. Unable to keep up with the figures he retreated while Wei Lung dived past the demi-gods and down the elevator to the underground of the dockyard. Wei Lung found an immortal super and fought her. He won in a gruesome fashion.

While Lex retreated to reshape himself in an attempt to become an equal to the demi-gods the demi-gods themselves moved to the Armorforge complex. Some hours later an explosion at the Armorforge building gathered the attention of a lot of supers, including James Kine, who left the dockyard. The demi-god of chaos, nicknamed Jules, was behind the explosion. It seems as if Jules was out to spread a new plague across the city to kill all the humans. The heroes gathered including Buster One who was called in to contain the situation. The heroes clashed with Jules killing his bodily form, but he returned in another form. It seems as if demi-gods need to be banished to their home plane, the Aetherplane. Kine is attempting to banish Jules using one of the two portals right now. The Doctor (Lex's creator), the demi-god of order, was gathering forces to help clear the plague out by burning any biomass anywhere, including any humans attempting to flee. Lex met him in the radio tower only to find out that the Doctor was corrupted by chaos, and that he would have to fight him.

That should be the plotline so far. I don't think I missed too much. Hopefully this isn't too confusing.

Here you go.

Maybe we should link the summary in the OP of the thread. This way people can read the OP and get caught up at the same time. Otherwise asking for a summary will be a FAQ, or people just won't join because of the lack of accessibility (reading 31 pages of text wall isn't for everyone). I'll keep it as updated as I can.

EDIT: Seems as if I'm trapped in thread purgatory until someone posts as the Doctor. I just don't think I should be the one deciding what he does if I have to fight him. Hopefully Fniff will be back online soon.

TheFool, you are marvelous. May a thousand goblins be slaughtered in your name, and may magma smite your foes forever more.

TheFool, you are marvelous. May a thousand goblins be slaughtered in your name, and may magma smite your foes forever more.

I think I might just sig that.

EDIT: Shoesandhats, the dockyard is Beast Master's base. Most supers are at the Armorforge building just outside Central Park, where there is a massive fire raging. We don't really have an organization yet, but Lex will more than likely form one assuming nothing ridiculous happens to him.

EDIT2: It appears that I am missing words in the summary. Updated the third paragraph to read correctly. Sorry for the confusion Shoesandhats. Here is the summary.

[The Fool]

I dislike double posting, but next time we have a major villain lets not force ourselves into a situation where it is kill them in an obscure way or the city is destroyed. Lets face it, that wasn't a fun chapter. It built on the world, but we were extremely limited in our actions which hurts a freeform game. So lets move on and get to RPing freely again.

[jc6036]

Hell, I'm okay with anybody changing the way these things need to be defeated. The whole city in danger thing is supposed to add to the tension, but it was sort of a "Well thats just fucking great. We're gonna lose our city because we can't figure out how to kill them" type situation. Is that what you mean?

[The Fool]

What I meant was that everyone is fighting Jules, but he keeps getting up, even though he currently lacks a body. This almost seems redundant that's all. You should have a dragon with you, why not burn him to death? It seems like the easiest way to do things which is kind of why I'm just burning the Doctor. However to burn Jules that we need Fniff to be online or to god-mod his actions for a turn. If someone does do this be sure to read how he reacted to Jules before. I remember him being intimidated or something.

People seem to be running out of things to write about now and everyone is waiting for the one action that would allow them to do something. That was my major complaint about having only one or two ways of doing things. I like the tension of the city hanging in the balance, but not being able to fight back is a bit too much.

EDIT: It's almost a case of everyone having the Worf Effect.
