I'm dead, what would necromancy do to me?

So does that mean you can control me?

Um... I don't know. Possibly, but I wouldn't since that would be god-modding.

Whyyy do I keep falling asleep while attemptign to do homework.

Okay, I've had my tea and my dose of buddy-cop shows. Time to sit down and write this.

EDIT: Too long, didn't proofread. So if I missed something, my apologies. Arsis, also apologies for not giving Innon a chance to react. Figured it would be best to go ahead and get it over with to smooth things out.

stayed awake to read that.

all i can say is....ew.

And...nalsa's form? -can't think right now.

He's not all the way formed yet. So he's a slight...oozy puddle formed around bones and such. Guess I could edit that.

No worries mate, if you want, you can split it up a bit. I'm here and will be around, just pm me.

I wouldn't mind getting a chance to react, might be interesting to be inside the body of a rifter when he decides to rift. ;D dunno if you've ever been to Sheol before, I hear it's quite empty these days.

Nah, that's all I wanted to do was invade someone's body for the moment. He's had his retribution. Besides, I am way too tired.

Right then. I'll wait for other characters to respond.

You're all going to have to give me until the weekend to catch up with this. Sorry guys.

Edit: I'm trying to think of something witty to say about that, Salone, but... failing... Just... wow...

Remind me again what rifting is? -forgot-

Teleporting. Essentially between the heavens, earth, and hell.

Perhaps an unusual question, but Salone, did we ever determine exactly what "rank" Na'lsa is, i.e. is he major, well-known demon, or one more lowly that has grown far beyond his station?

/is totally not planning anything to do with demons in the future. Nope.

We did not. Please bear with me, as my knowledge on commonly accepted information on demonic mythos is...well, there is none. I don't know a damn thing, I've been pulling crap out of my backside this whole time. But this is what I've gathered for Na'lsa:

Na'lsa is a lowly demon, an extremely minor character serving under the guise of Gluttony. His existence on earth began millenia ago as he escaped by attaching himself to an amoeba that gorged itself (for an amoeba), which was quickly consumed by something much larger. He went on with this for centuries, piggybacking on to various organisms as he slowly worked his way up to larger things. Always able to influence, but never able to directly control. In the late 1800's, he possessed one of two lions that became known as the Lions of Tsavo. Feeding off of their life force and those they had slaughtered, he was able to sustain enough power to take a human. Those who have fallen to his influences have participated in armed conflict, the trauma usually enough to break their psyche and allow him a more direct means of controlling them. Usually under his influence or control, the host resorts to cannibalism.

So pretty much he's been feeding off of creatures for a thousand or two years now, becoming a literal example of the food chain. The sheer amount of things he has consumed has slowly given rise to his amount of power, but the sheer amount of human souls devoured has catapulted him immensely (for a demon anyway, I suppose). So in closing, he's the equivalent of a cockroach that has risen far beyond his station, and the time it has taken him has twisted his own mentality. What should be nothing has risen up to be something, but the question is going to be if he can survive when those he has risen above come calling.

If any of that is retarded, feel free to ignore it and I can write up something better for him.

No, no, it's good. It actually works, it's just... I'm going to have to get *really* creative for higher-ranking demons now since Na'lsa has set the bar so high. :p

Awww. By the way Suz, if you ever run a second role play, I would be totes cool with playing some sort of villain character for you. My current ones don't feel like they come off as being that nice.

I was considering doing something like Arthurian Legends or possibly the First Crusade, but I don't have enough knowledge of either at the moment (I used to) to run one.

I read First Crusade and immediately thought of the Third Crusade and Assassin's Creed.

Funk and I are (are rather, were...) trying to make a futuristic/dystopian RP. I don't think that ever got off the ground, even though I made the setting and NPCs for it.

Ah, heh, no, I was thinking more political and theocratic intrigue than conspiracy theories with the templars. :p

I'm not a history buff, soooooo...yeah.

That game DID help me on one question on a religion test, I think. Forgot what problem it was.

Espy, I just saw who posted in the thread and was like... o_O for a second. :p

Ah, yeah. Easier for me to grab rations and whatnot on here. Sorry about that XD

And Suz, keep in mind that Na'lsa has existed on the physical plane for a very long time. He can manipulate flesh and whatnot somewhat powerfully, but anything theurgic or things similar will possibly throw him off or neutralize him.

Your scenario reminds me of one of the little philosophical moments in Akira (the original 80s dialogue. Don't think it's covered the same way in the editted version). Everything has some manner of psychic energy. Amoeba have psychic energy. Amoeba meander around eat things. Humans have more psychic energy, and build rockets ships. Give an amoeba the energy of a human = problem. Amoeba don't build rocket ships or philosophize. Amoeba meander around and eat things. Na'lsa might be channelling a bit of that amoeba.

Does this mean I have chunks of Lev/Nas'la on Feenai now? Eww...

I never saw Akira, but I will give credit to it if it had the idea first.

And yep, there are bits and pieces all over the place Serra.

Gopher gopher gopher cakes!

As far as creature eating and absorbing bigger creature, no, that's not part of it. Current events in the thread just reminded me of the film.

And I think Na'lsa may have lost a couple levels there. They might be sticking to the other characters now. ;)

...-suddenly has a rather macabre and gory mental image-

.......oh...oh god.

Yeah. Surviving the fire alone cost him dearly. He is going to need to devour something big to make up for it. And the priest probably No longer has useful flesh since it's all roasted now.

...WELL THEN. Should I tell Dante to start running right about now?

Mind you, the perdition flamethrower is also powerful enough to exercise souls, so I can't imagine anyone feeling at their top shape after taking its big black flame.

Well...Na'lsa being a PC, We don't want to kill him off...

Do We?

*I* don't want to see him killed off, he's a brilliant character.

If you want to, though, you could have him "killed* here and return at some point. *cough* Infernal Sea voyage *cough*

Ultimately, it's your decision.

Oh No, I enjoy playing him. He let's me get out the...interesting posts. Lev is fun, but he's my desperate trauma child soldier character. This is actually my first time playing something like Na'lsa. He's been interesting for me.

So no killing him just yet, methinks. AlSo this was typed from my phone, So excuse any typos.

Oh, did I mention, I drew Michael yesterday? I drew Dante, too...younger. And then realized, well, shit, I unintentionally make my OCs way too similar to characters that already exist.

That happens. One reason why I don't draw my characters often. But then, I also make characters from pictures of other characters so that doesn't help.

I think an infernal sea voyage would be fun. I'm down for whatev's.

I imagine something like that would happen anyway. Maybe we'll find one of Kasdeja's siblings at some point. That could be interesting. :p


So is that flamethrower going to be making routine appearances?

Only if we all enjoy soulless bbq. I'll need more ammo at some point. But I expect that it will come in handy down the road.

I'll just note that you're going to have a hard time finding more fuel, considering those weapons are used only by the Sons of Megiddo. Best use it sparingly.
