Welcome to Gaia! ::

There were a few reasons why I did it. First, it was comic relief, like I said, so it wasn't supposed to be taken overly seriously. As a result, and second, it's not something I would use against another character. Third, my involvement in the thread, even as background noise, is important from time to time to keep the RP moving, and I wanted to do so without interfering with your (the other mercs') battle. And finally, fourth, as GM, I was simply using it as a plot device. Sometimes a GM has to pull things out of his/her ear to move the story along. But like I said, if I was battling one of you, I wouldn't use the zords or even the long-standing Gearmingo (which has been a running joke since the old Merc League, along with the steel-plated trees.) So while I understand your concern, I assure you it isn't something to be taken seriously. I encourage a little humor every now and again, as long as it doesn't screw with the storyline in such a manner that it would be considered godmoding.

If you're concerned with the magical seal bit, there's an explanation to that which lies both in the storyline, and in Gear's past, something I already have in mind, but has been developed slowly over the few "official" RPs the guild has done in the past. Gear is a much more complex and travelled character than he has shown thus far, and keeping his past a mystery has allowed me to slowly develop him into a three-dimensional character, as I would hope any of you would do with your characters. Therefore (shock and awe here) there is at least one *lie* in his profile, something my character would perpetuate, and most anyone would believe about him without a second thought. That too, I hope, will be revealed in this RP, as I have laid the groundwork in the RP haven's threads, such as the Battle-not-so-Royale, its predecessor which was deleted in the Typo attack, and the Department of Magic RP.

*gasp for air* There you have it.

Well, with the gunblade addition, If anything, it's a bit of foreshadowing in itself... But you'll have to see for yourself. Kaneharo may have to talk to Gear later himself, considering he isn't too experienced with technological advances... but then again, it's to be expected when you come from a planet where everything normally runs on magic.

Really? Has anyone actually fought me in this RP? I don't recall Gear fighting any of the mercenaries thus far. In fact, putting him in the mecha actually kept him OUT of the battle.

Now that magical creature that imitated Gear while he was trapped in the fade was a different story. He, Wielder, and Xeg were designed to be virtually unbeatable until you had reinforcements, or one of you got really creative.

Maybe I went a tad overboard, however, so I'll tone down the boss' strength.

Well I would like some time to maybe find Gear and see if he could make me something or if he has something already similar made.

I say give us some time to rest. Although I know the point of the RP is war, it's also good to mingle with everyone and such outside the battlefield.

And yeah, I have to admit I was also kind annoyed with the whole boss battle. No matter how many hits he got, we never even put a dent. I see why Gear did this and why only he was able to defeat him. I think it has to do with the whole idea that it was his clone, after all.

But once everyone started launching attacks one after another without waiting for a reply, I kinda lost interest, which is why most of the time, I just stood back and attacked only when I saw an opening. But then that didn't do much either. And as far as being creative, I could have argued that K' had been hiding a nuke under his sleeve. But one, I have no idea if that would've worked, even though some people might consider that creative, and two, in RP terms. I don't know Gear that well. All K' knows is that he's the League's leader and a few random facts. So it's not like K' could ever figure out what was that one weakness.

But again, I see where Gear was going with all this. He's struggling to keep everyone entertained, which is a hard task. And I also understand why he defeated him. I also understand and applaud the comic relief; that's a weird sight but I always welcome it.

So there, my two cents.

Hmm. Sounds good to me. Anything that has any sort of remote chance of fun I'm in.
