Welcome to Gaia! ::

Please, please, please, please give me time to organize my evidence, please. I'm currently doing something I haven't done in 7 months, since I joined the Navy. I'm cooking for me and my mother. I'm making a little baked chicken with fried zucchini, and just got through the food preparation stage.

I shall first review the points in the PMs that have been sent back and forth between you two...

1) Both of you seemed to have agreed on, so there will be blisters on the character.

2) I would like Asilit to elaborate on this, as to why it wouldn't, because personally, I am somewhat confused.

3) One, I support her stance. Nowhere in your technique does it say she can't move no matter what. The technique says that they will double over and be in a lot of pain, yes, but there is nothing stopping a character from pushing through the pain in order to continue their battles. If there was, the Green Lanterns would be quite s**t out of luck, along with mostly every hero.

4) There's no arguing with this one; if you enter the water, you're poisoned.

5) Was the pier destroyed? In your first post you had said "Unattended these items broke and shatter and rolled into the oceans depths", but nowhere was it stated what these "items" were exactly. As a result, how is she to know that the pier was one of said items?

6) No need for me to be here. *Insert 'Nothing to do here' gif*

With this being stated...

Rule 2) She accepted the touch, and accepted the effects (excluding the blistering, which was established on your own accord). Nowhere does the effect say that she is not able to move whatsoever, and as a result, she has not broken any rules. Sure, she's likely in SEVERE pain, but that does not limit her to moving.

Rule 3) Her character can use that data that you showed to her, that can corrupt an entire area around him and cause major damage with a simple touch. Also, the term "alien" may also refer to "foreign", but I cannot say if that is what she intended to mean.

Rule 4) Her character does not have this listed, as such it needs to be changed in the post.

Rule 5) You have no reason to control her character. Along with this, there was no kill post, and there has not been any rule broken by doing so.

With everything in list here, Asilit, I invite you to please provide a counter-argument, to support as to why you did these things, and if you agree or disagree with my rulings. We can move on from there.

If you have the means of stopping a character, correct, you can prevent their escape.

How very convenient of you to omit me from the summons, One_Being.

Firstly, your entire profile is an abomination and overpowered to the point where, regardless of the outcome of this, needs to be re-evaluated and send you through another fourfold pages of review.

I do allege the claim that I don't explicitly state a few abilities that, upon writing the profile, would have been presumed to have been there. However, if One_Being is so bent on accusing me of this, then he should have informed a moderator first thing and have them confront me on the matter before we even began a roleplay. Instead, he chose to accept my previous posts containing the relevant "offenses", and the moment things weren't going to his plan, calls me out on it. For an individual that strives to present himself as professional and civil, this was by no means professional. As I mentioned, the moderation team should have been notified, and that's where your role should have ended, and not replied to me at all until the issues were rectified.

This addresses your claims about Rules 2 and 4.

Moving to your claim about Rule 3, in my rpc's profile my character is designed to be superior to humans in every possible way that humans are capable of manufacturing a super body for. To be overpowered so easily would indicate a being that the body was not designed for, and a general term for that is "alien". The term alien is used a catch-all for the unknown, as it is "foreign" or "alien" to the human collective and their constructs.

Therefore it is not metaplaying because I did not specifically state that One_Being's character was an alien race known as the "Vooka". Had I stated that, then he could claim that. Continuing with the "Your race will be added to the list of extermination" also applies to other "races" that, while human, are distinguished enough by the DC universe canon material to be classified different enough from standard humans to be their own race. Notable examples of such are Mutants, and while this is better seen in the Marvel universe, there are still case examples found on the dc wiki site.

With supernatural beings in existence and publicly so, the universe bit is not limited to aliens, as mankind has been capable of space travel since before 1969.

Regarding Rule 5 and your evidence thereof, would you rather have preferred roleplaying by yourself with mine acting as an NPC you controlled? Under your ability's restrictions, I literally could do nothing. Could not move, could not speak. You would be talking and attempting to act with a lump of metal. So, if you wanted to interact with a basically lifeless lump of metal, I don't see why you dragged another rp'er into it to do that. I could play games on my phone and simply ignore my character while you attempted to do things that, according to your profile and its limitations (far and few between) state that you cannot do.


Chiefly, you state in your accepted final draft of the profile under the weaknesses section that, and I quote:

"Helmets make Ѧζʊϛϵҡ unable to extract the brains of opponents."

End quote. As a full-body replacement cyborg, a visible fact on my profile, that implicates that her entire "skull" is a helmet and that you would be completely unable to extract the brain for consumption, as you stated you had wished to do in the pm conversation you posted for them to see, under "things to consider" Number 6.

This simple fact, paired with my character's physical composition, would render any and all attempts of your character to eat my character's brain and subsequently, rebirth her as an "independent". Again referring to your statement in #6 of the "things you might want to consider" section of the pm conversation, "I was going to let my character eat her absorbing her mind, and making it his own".

This unto itself is a form of auto-hitting, as you are taking my character and doing things to them without my consent AND denying me any opportunity to defend or even comment.

I submit below an earlier conversation between One_Being and myself that was the original beginning to this dispute.

==============================



============================================

One_Being's original post, found here (in his last response in the thread) indicates his character moving to touch my character's fleshy back. In the above pm conversation, I moved to tell him that my character had no such flesh back there, and as visible from his fittingly machine tone themed response, blatantly disregarded the fact.

I moved to improvise, since he was and still is unwilling to believe that you can edit a post BEFORE any response to it is made. Edits CAN be made to posts prior to any response directly or indirectly made to it, though if you are roleplaying with someone (i.e. in a fight), it is common courtesy to give them a heads-up stating that you made a mistake and edited it. This would give the other person a fair warning that the content they had possibly read already might have changed, and allow them to adjust and react accordingly.

One_Being doesn't seem to believe that that's possible, yet wants me to edit my post. Is this really fair that I'm expected to become a lump of useless metal but he can't be expected to edit a single word to a few more that would state perhaps along these lines: "...while making an attempt to touch her on her back where it was more vulnerable..."

It in this example of adapted "re-writing" could easily refer to my character while maintaining the genderless theme that could equally as easily be applied to my character, of whose appearance isn't exactly defined as feminine from the image found within the approved profile. I have a larger image as well that I can post linkage to if requested.

================================

On to my qualms with One_Being's behavior and how I believe he is breaking rules.

Profile and its nature aside, he is also guilty of attempting to McFly the situation at hand.

As part of the Anti-Munch Project, found here, McFlying is "... these will alter situations (and usually first posts) drastically to give them an advantage in roleplay."

While not fully implemented specifically, One_Being was vague about this in his opening post in the penitentiary thread, stating that, and I quote:

"...causing the forms of creation abandoned to shatter and break as the tendrils words gave these items sentience of what led to their creation and that their time had passed. Unattended these items broke and shatter and rolled into the oceans depths, but the biggest (the prison) of them stood firm untouched by what was whispered."

This unto itself is fine, but hid the nature of what he actually meant, found above in the "Things to consider" Pm section #5, where he stated that "there are no ways off the island, except going into the ocean which is poisoned".

His only post regarding the terrain and the only section of that post relevant to the terrain listed above, he never stated the land bridge was destroyed, merely that the "forms of creation to shatter and break" and that "but the biggest (the prison) of them stood firm untouched by what was whispered".

By logic, his ability "Corruption" states that :

"Unattended objects, including structural features such as walls, and door grow brittle and shatter."

This logic would also extend to the prison and land below the prison without exception. Nowhere in his profile section does it mention that his character can make exceptions to this ability, and my rpc should have been buried under tons of rubble and underwater. His rpc would have fallen back into the ocean by that logic, as in the weaknesses section he lists that "Ѧζʊϛϵҡ cannot fly".

His claim in "Things to consider" #5 strongly states that he selectively destroyed the land bridge, pier, and any other possible way off the island WITHOUT affecting the prison or the land beneath it.

Moving to "Things to consider #3"

One_Being states that "Your character once touched can't move no matter who takes control of the body. This is because it is attack of the body therefore no matter who takes over the body they would be able to break free. You actually need someone like an ally not using the body to break the hold"

This statement is made with presumably knowledge assuming that the body touched can be affected. However, his touch ability in his profile simply states that:

"On a successful touch attack, grapple, or unarmed strike, Ѧζʊϛϵҡ's touch wracks a target with such pain they double over and collapse. Their face and hands blister and drip fluid and their eyes cloud with blood rendering them blind for as long as the grapple is held."

Note that the effects only last "for as long as the grapple is held". One_Being's character has never successfully grappled with mine, and only a single touch was made. Therefore my rpc would be immune to the effects of "face and hands blister and drip fluids and their eyes cloud with blood rendering them blind" because he never held contact.

Regarding the one status that is pertinent that "touch wracks a target with such pain they double over and collapse", this is made without consideration to the nature of the opponent, regardless of their composition. This is overpowered and fully facilitates a ranged battle only. It is a form of god-modding known as "Min-Maxer" where the strength to weakness ratio is off the charts.

In One_Being's case, his first listed weakness is "magic", an uncommonly utilized form of rp combat that primarily of this guild limits any potential threats to his rpc to specifically his soon-to-be ally, Circe. As he mentioned in the "Things to Consider" #6, his character, alongside Circe, would found the Injustice League.

Pardon me for my ignorance if there are other actual magic users within the guild, but to my knowledge, Circe is the only other magic user. If there are other users here, odds are good that there is a 1 to 10 ratio of magic to other combat means users, further rendering this "weakness" as simply an excuse to say he has one. Also, I found it a bit ironic that as a powerful dark magic user as his profile claims, that his weakness is also magic?

His other listed weakness of note states that in utilizing a ritual to separate him from the other being/object/power dubbed "ЄζΩ", that he automatically kills the other user/users alongside him. Oh, pardon. It actually states that "their body becomes unstable and literally burns their flesh off making them ghost as well."

My bad. I just thought that that was a fancy way of saying that they die. neutral

One_Being's rpc is not listed with the "Creation" ability, or any variant thereof, instead relying on his "replication" ability to substitute for it. His statement in "Things to Consider" #6 states he was going to make a "Vooka" from his body in the shape of my character's image before the accident and place her soul and mind in there. Technically "Lifeless Body Creation" as its name would probably best suit it, his Replication ability does not state he can do that, and places him equally on blame with me regarding "assumed" abilities that are not explicitly stated on the approved profiles.

Also of note: It is written in my character's profile that while her pre-transformation appearance IS on her person, they are stored in files in her brain. As noted, half her brain is cybernetic, and since files do not actually exist within the organic brain, the cybernetic half would have to contain them. THEREFORE, One_Being's rpc would not be able to recreate her appearance UNLESS he can eat non-organic brains as well and somehow gain the information off of that. That is of course, assuming he could eat her brain to begin with. As earlier mentioned, his listed weakness states that

"Helmets make Ѧζʊϛϵҡ unable to extract the brains of opponents."

This is technically a loophole, but the generality of this statement, paired with the metal head that serves as a replacement for her skull (as noted by the full-body cyborg status she has, listed on the approved profile under "ability information" and supplemented at throughout the biography section), effectively prohibits his rpc from accessing my character's brain at all.

====================================



Yes. Above demonstrates most of my qualms with One_Being's OP profile, and a general defense and counter to his claims.

Here I will more specifically address concerns you have.

1) Such will be edited in to a re-work of the post.

2) One_Being pointed out that there are blood vessels in a human's head, and this is true. As unfamiliar as I personally am with the cyborg anatomy regarding artificial replacement skulls (seeing as they have yet to actually be created and thus their specific anatomy can and will vary depending on series and how authors want to interpret it), the loss of the natural skull would also mean a re-routing of those blood vessels that provide the brain with what it needs.

What I guess I'm failing to see is that, with completely bionic eyes and a connection to the brain as such, how would eyesight fail, assuming the brain continues functioning, albeit in great agony? I'm not saying there wasn't bloodloss, but as I mentioned in the pm conversation One_Being posted, I alleged there was, but that it was all internal. I didn't say that it didn't happen.

Of note though, is that his profile states that the latter two effects are only in effect "Their face and hands blister and drip fluid and their eyes cloud with blood rendering them blind for as long as the grapple is held."

The bolded section implies that his rpc has had a hold of me, and as visible in the penitentiary thread, has never happened. Therefore, by his profile's statements, only the "shock" effect should have happened. (The part that wracks the target with such pain)

3) No explanation necessary on my part.

4) As I ponder how exactly my rpc would get poisoned, reading through the effects of this "faceless hate", a lot of the cosmetic bits aren't applicable. Specifically the faceless part. My character doesn't actually have a real face. It also states that those affected become blind and can't smell, but gain "blind sight of 60 feet". His profile doesn't state what happens to non-organics, instead opting for a vague net of "catch-all". Like an absolute saying that whatever wanders in there will have that happen. What if it was an undersea robot? Would the robot lose its camera sight and wish to turn around and murder its friends and family? I guess my point there is that with non-organic parts, will the same effects occur on say, bionic eyes? Also, I would like him to clarify what "blind sight" is, and how is it different from regular sight.

Regarding the "murder friends and family" bit, my rpc did not make any noteworthy friends, and any family left alive is not remembered. However, even applicable, nothing would change. My character, as stated on the profile, aims to kill people regardless. This is particularly true of the family, whom in the biography, did not oppose stifling her "world" and daydreams thereof. So I don't really think that that's applicable.

5) Precisely. As I mentioned above in general defense and counter, this near mcfly should probably be addressed before discerning whether or not my character walks on it, or simply steps off the edge of what remaining landmass there is and falls into the ocean....which had been the intended result of my post anyway. Of note regarding that ability of his, shouldn't the prison and landmass have been affected as well, given how One_Being didn't specify what happened to the latter, but claimed that the land bridge had been destroyed? Why that part and not all? The ability itself doesn't state he has selective properties, so everything in that area should have been affected. No?

6) I still stand with my above defense and counter as mentioned and would like to see action taken on that section of his profile and what he claims his rpc is capable of without his profile actually saying he can do that.

=============================

Closing Summary

Rule 2: See above addressed to you regarding the blistering and blood-clouded vision effect.

Rule 3: I had meant Alien as "foreign". In the future, I'll clarify and use the term "inhuman" instead.

Rule 4: This will be cleared up and changed, as I have a means to control my character naturally now. Thank you.

Rule 5: *whistles* No disagreement here.

------------------------------------------

My character isn't a abomination, he's a real villian compared to your character who in their rpc profile you state is a minion. It was like superman versus batman in a head on fight. Your rpc needs skill to take my own not brute strength.

I noticed it in your last post, and talked to you about it in a pm. I only brought it to moderator attention because you told me to do so. And you and them agree what you did is break rule 4. Having a split conscious is simply a disability, but this personality being an entity able to control a body ignoring its current condition is an ability.

Rule 3, your rebuttal makes no sense for you weren't overpowered, but touched. Thus your character wouldn't be able to deduce that it was a human or alien from a touch alone alone. It would require an ability for your character to know such a thing from a simple touch of a organic being. At the most your character would learn that my rpc touch causes pain.

Rule 5, you didn't have to accept my character touching you. But you did and that's when the words of the moderator come in, you could have resisted because my rpc ability as I will "agree" does not say your unable to move. Thus, you could say that your character mustered strength to resist, rather than what you wrote. Also the problem is timing my character should have been able to do more to you will you were under such pain from the touches effects.

True that Ѧζʊϛϵҡ is unable to extract brains, but that isn't talking about his devices being unable. To remove your rpc brain I would use Ѧζʊϛϵҡ device known as kissai and said its true name to open. Once open I would have made Ѧζʊϛϵҡ but the kissai over the cyborgs head then closed it to decapitate her. From there I would reopen and drop your cyborgs head then did the process again, but halfway, until your character brain was brain mesh (for he would know how to properly separate the head to get your character brain) and made Ѧζʊϛϵҡ eat the brain mesh, acquiring your rpc knowledge.

From that he would made a replication of her from the information he had consumed. Thus your character would be reborn. The reason she would independent is he would have put all her memories in a replication. The replication ability says nothing about limiting the memories Ѧζʊϛϵҡ passes on to his replications, but there is a limit on the abilities he gives them.

If I was unable to do that, as it would be against your consent. I would simply have Ѧζʊϛϵҡ eat the brain and move on.

Your point of my character touching a part of your back that is non existant is void because you posted. By posting you made me unable to edit my post because to edit a post you need a moderator and the post had to not be combat related. Therefore, in you posting you made me unable to re edit. Also even if you didn't let me edit, my edit would be against the rules because the rules state this:

6 ~ No Post Editing
Post Editing, is not allowed to happen unless Moderator approved and non-combat related. It's a form of God Modding and carries the same punitive measures.

By the rules it would be god modding because my post was combat related. I don't care what you see other people doing in the guild. I'm going to follow the rules, as they are written.

Things to consider #3 has already been taken care of by the moderator.

However, the reason I bring your post into question is the way you broke the hold. It was by means your character don't have stated as a capability in your rpc accepted profile. Also you need to consider the touch caused your character to double over and collapse. That should allow someone to do something to them. In reality if someone cause you to double over it allows them a window to do something else to you. Don't you think?
You need to take in her rpc weaknesses. She takes in nutrients, meaning her cyborgs body isn't cabin tight. Another thing is the poison never states it only applies to organic, but to living creatures. Cyborgs are living creatures thus her rpc is affected. Living covers undead too.
