[Espy]

Hm. I might actually join Suze and Gall on this avi thing.

If you don't mind, of course.

[Lawtan]

I would, but don't have the items...I think...
If people are okay with it...

[Espy]

I'd have to figure out what the blue water background is.

[Lawtan]

I think it is three different backround images
...how do you get the hidden eyes?

[Suzerain of Sheol]

I don't mind, no. And the water is the Undine RIG.

Also, give me a minute, have a response to your post Lawtan (OOC).

[Espy]

No, Gall has four.

[Quiet Man Cometh]

I'll have Tarja snap out of things soon enough. She couldn't care less who she pisses off so she'll call Thomas on things. She sees Rurik as useful. ;)

(has no water :(. Another item to add to the quest list...
Like Espy said though, assuming you guys don't mind.)

[Lawtan]

Wicked has a water-like substitute.
What are the eyes?

I hope I didn't rush things by having the angel shot...

[Quiet Man Cometh]

Hey Lawtan? I think Gall and I mentioned this already but godmodding is poor etiquette in RP. Controlling what happens to Thomas, even if it seems something basic like having his arm get knocked out of the way and his gun fire, is essentially doing just that. It's okay to say that the rock is heading towards Thomas' arm but leave what actually happens with that to Sheol.

For example, Dante came up and grabbed Tarja's arm when she was going to cut the angel's head off. Espy typed what Dante was doing, but he didn't say what actually happened on Tarja's part. Also note that when I posted that Tarja was going to cut the angel's head off, I stopped at her actual swing. This allows for other people to react to what's happening (ie. Sheol and Espy). You should give Sheol a chance to respond to the threat headed towards Thomas, or work things out here or in PM as to what might happen. It's alright to post using someone else's character so long as you've cleared it with them first.

[Suzerain of Sheol]

Here is how I've been seeing us all in relation to each other.

MARVEL AT MY MSPAINT SORCERY!

So, there's no real way he could shoot the angel without hitting Tarja, Diogenes, Lev, or one of his own men instead.

I should also probably remind you, his soldiers still have their sidearms (submachineguns, which can't penetrate their armor, they are fully willing to open a crossfire), and that Thomas can set people on fire with a thought, as we've seen.

I'll also finally give you guys the list of all his cybernetics at this point so you know what you're dealing with.

Thomas' Cybernetic Augmentations

1. Titanium skeleton. Every bone in his body has been replaced with a synthetic equivalent, and is extremely resistant to damage. He is highly resistant to concussive and bludgeoning impacts.
2. Nanitic musculature. The tissue of his muscles have been injected with cellular nanites that instantly repair any damage or strain inflicted (within reasonable limits, they have to work with what's there). Further, by working in unison, they augment his explosive force, allowing to sprint at incredible speeds and pulverize rocks with physical blows.
3. Augmented reality psycholenses. He can see in the psychic, infrared, and ultraviolet spectrums.
4. Hydraulic joints. Allow him to lift immense weights (upward of 2500 lbs), and to jump to incredible heights (upwards of 30 ft.)
5. Duomolecular mechanized wrist katar-blades. Retractable, 18” high-carbon steel blades honed to an edge two molecules in width, capable of cutting nearly anything without resistance.
6. Mechano-theurgic hearts (three, one in his chest, one in either thigh), armored against lateral impact and equipped with redundant valves and chambers, will continue to function even in the absence of neuronal impulse, drawing off his spirit.
7. Subcutaneous armor plating. His entire body is stitched with small (2” x 3”) plates of a titanium-steel alloy, proof against small arms fire and piercing or slashing weapons wielded with normal human strength.
8. Transrespiration implant. Provides immunity to aerial pathogens and inhaled poisons.
9. Adreno-erratic infusion. Activated upon adrenaline release, emits a hormone that nullifies his fear response and heightens his senses and reaction times to roughly ten-times their normal capabilities.
10. Prehensile bio-electric tendrils. 8 tubular steel cords roughly 7 ft. in length, equipped with tiny drills at the end of each. They interface with his brain through a psycho-active implant, allowing him to maneuver them as though they were fully-functional, intuitive limbs. The drills are capable of boring into concrete or stone, and allow him to climb walls and ceilings with ease. Further, he can cause the tendrils to become electrified at will, enough to cause a traumatizing shock to the human body with a touch, and can kill with several seconds exposure. When not in use, he wears them coiled up against his back under his clothes.

Lastly, that last bit of your post was god-modding -- describing how zombie mooks get killed by your character is fine and whatnot, but Thomas is an NPC with a capital C, gets his own agency in posts, so you can't really say how he reacted.

(Oh, and the eyes are the veil from Zephyr's Companion)

[Lawtan]

I'll try to fix that then.

[Suzerain of Sheol]

Quiet just reminded me, Dante is standing next to Tarja. Sorry about that.

Even more reason not to have that rifle fire wild. :P

[Suzerain of Sheol]

And hey, just keep in mind how lucky you are to have to deal with *Thomas*. Ask Espy or Salone about Kasdeja. :D

[Quiet Man Cometh]

You created Thomas just so we'd have the joy of dealing with all that later, didn't you? :P

Do you want time to make any changes to your post, Lawtan? Otherwise, I can post for Tarja now, once I get things typed up.

[Suzerain of Sheol]

I really seriously didn't, I swear.

He was already there in the end of the last game, remember? Ranting and raving about the Nephilim? :P

[Lawtan]

Yeah, but Kadia as a character would lose her cool completely in reality...but I am trying not to get her killed. I'd have her duel Thomas, but that would be blatant godmodding, even if it ended with him having her bound. Hence, the angel shooting. Hmm...
And yes, I'll be fixing it. Same outcome - something hits the angel - but I am having to figure out how.

(As a note: if avatar not good, feel free to ask me to change it back)
