"And what of you?" He asked, turning to Zoliver next.

I have never encountered it either. Personally, I do everything I can to try to give all my major OCs a soul of their own, try to make them their own people (At first I tried to do this by giving them a portion of myself in their persona, but I'm getting away from that now under Stratos's orders and am starting to just give them the initial spark they need and let their own selves take it from there, rather than just making them all have a similar personality to myself/ Stratos) I don't necessarily put a part of myself into each and everyone of them nowadays because I've been called out for doing so, but I try my damnest to make it so that they can feel like real individuals. Their a bit like children to me, I raised them all up from their smallest and least developed state, nothing more than a thought, into something much more than what they started as, know their strengths and weaknesses, their preferences and dislikes, their fears and hopes, their past and the things that shaped them as a person. That is why I never loose interest in my OCs, because it would be like losing interest in your own Sons/ Daughters.

"So I take it you've all lost someone to violence at the hands of another?" Deric asked Darius, looking to the Sky Slayer. "Even the mass murderer over there who's brooding over nothing?"

You could just draft up a new Original Player Character... you don't have recycle old ones, in fact, I think that kinda takes the fun out of it, just constantly reusing the same persona.

Have I not said we will get to each type when we get to them? I'll come up with the justifications for their biological existance when we get to their turn in this Type Matchup rewrite. I already have the basis of how I see them possibly functioning, but right now we are on Dark types, soldier, not Dragons. Dragons don't have any special relation ships to Dark Types, unlike Psychic or ghost types, ergo they must simply wait their own turn.

Sweet mother of god,.. This character cries out "Sue!" to me like a child stuck in a well... Way overpowered IMO, among various other things...

I'm honestly not surprised by that Celebi and the premonition...

Sergeant, I don't honestly think there's anything left to say for the Galen Interaction right now.

Again, we can't go using any of that fantasy crap that pokemon does, so Everything regarding those aspects of Psychic, Dark, and Ghost types have been changed to work on Psychological basis (except for ghost, which uses both that and the paranormal sciences). This is how they came out as a result. As for the second part I already fully intended to change the relationship between Psychic and Poison types.

Wait, how did I get dragged into the Discussion here?

Alright, well here's the match ups I've hashed out, soldiers. But first notes on the Triumpharant: Psychic- Logic, Reasoning, Concentration/ Mental Clarity Bio Overview: Organisms of this type are marked by their highly increased Brain Capacity compared to even humans, as well as their Psychokinetic capabilities stemming from this brain capacity. The Majority of them are capable of things previously thought impossible such as teleportation, as well as Telepathy with other sentient beings. Many of them are as smart, if not even smarter, than the greatest Human Geniuses ever known by leaps and bounds.Thier abilities require a hefty amount of concentration and focus in order to pull off effectively. No secret is ever truly safe around them. Dark- Literal Darkness, Depression, Grief Bio Overview: Organisms of this type generate strange Electromagnetic Fields around their bodies capable of distorting, bending, and even breaking the waves of the visible light spectrum. These fields are also capable of disrupting numerous other energies for some reason yet to be deduced by Bexly Researchers, resulting in some...very odd things, such as being able to munch down on a rock as if it were flesh...They also seem to rely just as much on inducing the emotions of Apathy, Depression, and Grief in the minds of their targets, and seem able to even harness these Psychological manifestations as energy... Ghost- Fear, Malice, Anger Bio Overview: These Organisms still pose a large difficulty to scientist trying to find an explanation for their existence, but the best theory that has come about is that they are Spectors in a way, collective conscious minds that lack a body which is incapable of manifesting itself in a physical, tangible state, and therefore must combine together and opt to elect a new, non physical state in which to exist. They are capable of feats long associated to Apparitions and ghost and other entities of the paranormal, and seem to rely on inducing feelings of Fear, Anger, and Malice in the minds of the targets of their attacks and then exploiting those emotions, even being able to harness these emotions as energy... If there's any type that has thrown the eons old debate about religion into an absolute fire storm, it's these right here... ((PS. if you're going to try to argue with me about this here principle, you better be prepared to offer up a better one in it's place.)) Onto the Match ups now. When Attacking Dark: Always Super Effective: -Fairy (Because of their Photic Nature, the energy fields they generate will be able to counteract those of dark types, and also vica-versa. in a fight between the two, it'll be a complete powder keg.) -Ghost (the Triumphant types Will function in a triangular match up like Fire, Grass, and water does, using the Principle that Logic & Reason trumps Fear & Anger, Depression & Grief trumps logic, and that All Grief Eventually fades into some degree of Anger) Generally Super Effective: -Fire (Fire always Generates a considerable amount of light, but it is going to need to be a high amount in order to overcome the aphotic field Dark Types Generate. IE, gonna need a lot of it.) -Electric (Same exact reasoning as Fire) Generally Not Effective: -Fighting (You can't easily hit what you can not first see/ locate with your eyes, now can you? but their will be some cases, like with a Lucario's aura sphere, in which this will be a very different story.) Always Not Effective: -Psychic (the Triumphant types Will function in a triangular match up like Fire, Grass, and water does, using the Principle that Logic & Reason trumps Fear & Anger, Depression & Grief trumps logic, and that All Grief Eventually fades into some degree of Anger) Immunities: -None When Dark Attacks: Always Super Effective: -Fairy (For reason stated above, they'll collide and both be highly destructive to the other.) -Psychic (Because of the already above stated principle of the Psychological Triumphant.) Generally Super Effective: -Fighting (Again, fighting in the dark greatly hinders your combat ability if you can't find a way to see clearly, you're gonna have a very hard time hitting anything in pitch blackness, but again, there will be certain cases in which this will be overcome, like with an aura sphere.) Generally Not Effective: -Fire (Reason stated above) -Electric (Reason stated above) Always Not Effective: -Ghost (Psychological Triumphant member) so what do you all think?

Just assume that Ethic keeps walking backwards into the hall after Kenny so that he can watch Marcus and young Taylor.

So basically their bodies emit energy fields which bend/ distort the waves of the light spectrum and other certain energies?

That's what I meant by it, Corporal. The Attacks themselves function by exploiting the absence of light (EX. Night Slash, self explanatory why), or by inducing the emotions of Depression and Grief in the minds of the Target. Dark Types overall will be more suited to stealth (Because of the whole "Cover of darkness" thing) more than anything else, while Psychic types will be suited to Intel Gathering and Interrogation (Which I guess technically counts as intel...), and Ghost Types will be best suited for pure Psychological warfare by exploiting Fear and Paranoia

^Look, that is literally the one of the ONLY TWO species of GAO in which that's the case. While yes, there are some plant species, like the venus flytrap and the pitcher plant, which feed on insects, the vast majority do not and are in fact themselves fed upon by Insects. I'm not going to change the effectiveness just because of one or two special cases in which the tables are turned regarding the predator prey relationship between Plants and Bugs. And why is it that just now anyone's saying something about it? And this isn't even concerning the change I made, I gave Bug a RESISTANCE to grass because I noticed it was missing it and that it could be justified. Again, Real quick: why just now is this talk coming out, I asked if anyone had any final says on the Bug typing before I finalized the changes we ALL had put in. Why was nothing said back then when the topic was still Bugs? Don't answer that, because we need to get moving on. the time for bugs has passed, I gave the opportunity to further discuss the changes made. I'll just change it to GSE and be done with it since we honestly need to just move on from it. Moving on to Dark Types now (and I don't want to hear anything else about Insects after this, Spark Alpha...) That's the thing though, we can't really do a pure fantasy type justification for Dark like it is in the original. Here's what I have for Dark so far so that we can get started: Dark Alright, from what I can see, Dark types have a relatively consistent Stat distribution overall. However, we can not go with the whole "Darkness= Evil/ Fighting= Righteous" type of Justification in this story because I refuse to allow such a fantasy based ideal here. Instead, Dark Types will be explained in the most literal sense: They are Aphotic, IE, by the diction of it: (From Merrium-Webster) 1a : devoid or partially devoid of light : not receiving, reflecting, transmitting, or radiating light <a dark room> 3b : dismal, gloomy <had a dark view of the future> 4d : relating to grim or depressing circumstances <darkhumor> Ergo, here's how their gonna work: Dark Types will function on two principles, the absence of light, and the Emotions of Depression, whereas Ghost will function off of the emotions of fear, and to lesser extent, Anger/Malice, and Psychic Types will function off of mental clarity and concentration. This will create the Psychological Triumpharant: Dark types for depression and grief, Psychic types for Logic/ Reasoning and Clarity, and Ghost Types for Fear and Anger (We'll get to it all when we get to it). Now then, Dakr types will have a direct opposite, and it won't be Psychics, but instead Fairies, whom will be changed to be Photic: IE. representing the presence of significant visible light, but Fairies will not operate on emotion (Again, we;ll get to it...) now, can everyone agree to this Justification, in which Dark Types operate off of the absence of visible light waves, and the psychological principles of the emotions of Depression and Grief? if we can, then I'll go on to drafting the new match ups.

I don't know, but I heard something a while back about home issues IRL or something that severely restricts the times he can manage to get on here.

Corporal, I was literally sitting here debating whether or not I should break my usual writing style in this RP for a minute just to type that one word. Usually I only use a lot of slang and such in Under The Hill.

I raised Java to level 21 from the fight. And Erce has got something planned for Claude...

"We give it something else to Hug," Mareek said, ordering Erce in front of him after releasing her from the capsule. "Hey Erce, how do you feel about another game of hide and seek? well...it'll actually be more like cosmic keep away." The scyther looked back and forth between the boy and the gooey dragon, her eyes wide as she shook her head no vehemently. There was no way she was letting that pile of goo touch her... "C'mon," Mareek persuaded. "Think of it as speed training. It'll only be able to hug you if you aren't quick enough to keep evading." The mantis mulled it over, then slowly shook her head in agreement. That's when claude started squealing like a little girl nearby, going absolutely cray-cray over the Goomies in the area. Mareek had a quick idea...but shot it down. He didn't like to go pulling that type of shit on people, even for a joke. Erce, on the other hand, had a very similar idea... and she was more than willing to pull it off." "Um...anyways," Mareek said, turning his attention back to the Goodra and dropping the nefarious plot. "You ready, Erce?" She nodded, keeping her claude in her sights and hashing out the finer points of the idea. It should be relatively simple. She walked up to the Goodra, calling out to it to try and get it's attention... hopefully it wouldn't be terribly fast. Galen "I think I can make things work..." Galen said, mulling over the assembly he'd been assigned. "I'll probably have to keep more of an eye on the trouble maker for a good while, but the other two will probably end up nullifying each other in terms of starting issues. The occasional tab keeping should more than suffice for them. but of course, I'll be able to come up with a more certain analysis once I actually meet them." He glanced over at teach from the screen. "Is there anything else I should know about the mission that hasn't already been given?"

it's ASE when attacking Grass types currently for that same reason, and also is resistant to grass for that reason. why change it from Always to Generally with the same justification?

Go ahead, Sergeant. EDIT: Hmmm.... I'm considering Absol for the empty slot on Mareek's team... could fit well by the way, would Dobby and I get any levels from this fight?

Alright, Soldeirs, I just edited post #3 of this thread to serve as the new place for the RP mechanics to be listed. I have compiled a section on the types there as well, and listed the changes we made for bug (I basically just quoted Super's initial post and then changed around a couple of things as needed, in addition I also gave bug a resistance to Grass and changed the reason why Psychic wasn't effective against it since the one we had before was along the same lines for why Ghost was not.) So, who want's to start the discussion on Dark Types? or should I go ahead and do it?

Chimchain "I don't really have a choice right now, do I?" Eric said rhetorically, weakly holding up his hand and trying to flex his fingers in vain, just to show Trystane how strongly the toxin still flowed in his veins. "I can barely lift my own damn arm, but can't even move these, let alone use my scythe... so the bastard is safe for now..." Murdoc and Snap Zartana snapped her fingers, and the legionnaire was gone the sound of wings beating filling the air. Aaron fell to the ground like a rock. He'd say something... but he honestly had learned not to mouth off against this bitch out in the open world where she could actually do something to him. God, at this rate, maybe being in the prison of his own mind had been better... at least there he could try to be defiant, could mock her endlessly to suppress his own fear. Not so now. "Because my lord commands me to," The black judge snarled at Matrim. "Were you not listening, mortal? My orders are unfortunately to help your kind alongside my father and idiot brother. This, much to my disdain, requires that I actually engage in conversation with you worthless lot in certain scenarios.. But why my damn human loving father can't handle counseling you all himself, I'm still wondering." Supernovae and anyone not currently talking to someone else "What if I told you that the man you met tonight wasn't even the real Stratos then?" Rossephus asked. "What if I told you that every single legend and tale of the Sky Slayer's deeds over the past 400 years were all about nothing more than an imposter with his memories and face? Because that is the truth of the matter. The true Stratos, High Champion of the Theocracy, had been replaced by this fake, this...doppleganger, yeas before the Sky Slaying ever occurred. In fact, it happened right at the beginning of the very battle that made his name renowned throughout the continent... the Battle at Fort Arxo against the Order of the White Cresent." He paused and looked around the area, searching for something, it seemed like.. "Earlier I sent a confidant of mine to assist you," he continued. "He appears as a frog, or perhaps more of a toad, has the ability to alter and enhance objects by ingesting them and spitting them back out. I ordered him to improve whatever weapons you all weilded, and also gave him one other task; Combine the physical manifestations of the Primal Keys into one entity..." He stepped forward towards Maximus, looking at the Ekarder expectantly. "Who among you now holds that key?" he asked. "The Alpha and the Omega both hold complete records and memories of every action ever preformed with them. Showing you the rouse carried out concerning Stratos is only possible if I show you all it through the memory of the Omega."

The Political Compass Economic Left/Right: -2.62 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -0.97 Not very surprised. I will not take the test on the second site because I refuse to align myself with any currently existing American Political party, for personal reasons. "The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge natural to party dissention, which in different ages & countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism. But this leads at length to a more formal and permanent despotism. The disorders & miseries, which result, gradually incline the minds of men to seek security & repose in the absolute power of an Individual: and sooner or later the chief of some prevailing faction more able or more fortunate than his competitors, turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation, on the ruins of Public Liberty." — George Washington, September 19, 1796 Now a days, I personally believe that Washington may have had it right...
