The Glitch Mob - Starve The Ego, Feed The Soul

Goldy, your 1,337 posts amaze me. If I were you, I wouldn't post anywhere except COT for the next forever, just for the sake of that amazing number :PGranted, but you can only use them on yourself.I wish for Nyan Cat in real life.

5/5

Granted, but you are in a world made up of nothing but light and therefore cease to exist.I wish every bullet I shoot in any video game would be a headshot.

I've dedicated a few years of my life to a troupe if you need any details/a co-host.Also, Mendicant? You can just edit your post dude.Whenever I edit it, nobody notices. The "bad luck" thing is functions as a warning, but I'll add a class 4 offense that just warrants a warning.The second was something I had meant to add, but I kinda forgot about it EDIT: I changed the original post, adding warnings and descriptions of different powers. I also changed the Knowledge Glitch to Thaum Glitch, the reason being that it sounded better.

This is fantastic. You have managed to entertain even a person who has fallen out of love with Bionicle such as myself. Kudos to you, sir.Also, "quite the contrary, in fact" should not be separated by a semicolon as Nuile stated; it should instead utilise a colon. A semicolon is used in place of a period to separate two independent clauses.

This is a problem with the forum software, as I have seen it on a forum that uses the same software (Can't name it, though). I usually use the unformatted mode, writing BBCode manually. It works fairly well for me, but I would like this issue to be fixed, too.This is a problem with the forum software, as I have seen it on a forum that uses the same software (Can't name it, though).

Granted, but then an alien race appears on Earth and reintroduces the innocent humans to the concept of evil.I wish I had a laser-shooting piranha.

Okay, okay. Funny, nobody noticed that the first time I posted it. I'll change it. The stats are more of a guideline for how skilled a character is, but I'll take that out for the sake of simplicity.EDIT: Here by popular demand: Glitch, minus all the dumb leveling and stats. I realize now how poorly thought out that was…Farid Al-Qahtani jerked spasmodically, his mind filling with white-hot pain, numbing his thoughts and removing him from all notions of reality. Al-Qahtani normally would have struggled to stay awake, but the pain was to great and he had no other option other than to succumb. Al-Qahtani stayed unconscious until he realized, still half-conscious, that he was drowning. He never registered the impossibility of this, seeing as he was in a brick building on dry land in downtown Riyadh. When he fully woke, he noticed a gargantuan cleft in the midday sky, through which Al-Qahtani could see clouds being sucked into space. It was then that his mind registered that he was sinking slowly into a mound of liquid brick. He stood up and looked at the slag, which hardened as soon as he stood up. Then he noticed that he was melting indentations into the ground when he stepped. Al-Qahtani was telling himself repeatedly that this wasn't real, that this was a dream, but no amount of denial changes the truth. Earth had been hit by a Gamma Ray. GLITCH -STORY DESCRIPTIONWhen a gamma ray emitted from a supernova struck earth, it tore a hole in the stratosphere, causing many chain reactions on the surface and below. The magnetic field of Earth ruptured as a result of the gamma ray, making it an easy target for any malicious outsiders.However, nature had a built-in defense for this. This defense came to be known as a Glitch. The Glitch is a being that distorts reality itself, some in more impactful ways than others. Some Glitches distort space, liquefying anything they touch. Some distort time, slowing or even stopping time at will. Some minor Glitches have power over more minor factors, such as force and heat. Glitches were people born with a latent mental deformity that is brought out by extreme radiation (Gamma ray anyone?). This deformity allows the Glitches to manipulate the world around them with their minds. However, many of these Glitches were killed off by the regular humans, as they feared the gray-skinned Glitches.After many of the Glitches were killed off through various means, an alien race mysteriously appeared in Southeast Asia. While neutral at first, the aliens soon launched attacks branching out of that region. These aliens would take over cities, feed on their resources, then, stronger from it, move on to another city. This tactic earned them the name "The Plague." This name is a misnomer, however, as they are not nor do they spread any kind of disease.--THE PLAGUEThe Plague is a compound culture of aliens in which evolution has been stagnant and discoveries nonexistent due to inbreeding. In order to break this stagnation, The Plague attacks weakened planets in search for a resource which is more valued to them than any other: knowledge. They kill off much of the population, but keep the smartest among them alive so that The Plague may absorb their knowledge into their central database, called Scientia, on The Plague's home planet. The Plague is one step away from discovering the key to the creation of a superweapon with the capability of eradicating entire systems. The humans must keep this knowledge from The Plague at all costs, but there is no way to tell what this knowledge is.The Plague possesses no concept of morals. They are purely objective thinkers who will stop at nothing until they complete the Sisyphean task of satiating their lust for knowledge, and though the information sent to the Scientia is extensive, certain thoughts in an entity's head are targeted for absorption, allowing The Plague to objectively attain the knowledge they want and waste no extra time. Included in the untargeted thoughts is a moral code.The Earth started out as a routine target, from which The Plague might be able to spread some new information on their planet. As soon as they discovered that we knew how to create what they sought, they went all-out on Earth.Plague species: Warrior: An impressive creature, 8 feet tall with a thick carapace and a spiked crab-like head. Myope: A stubby little creature resembling a very short, somewhat fat human. Used for menial tasks and for swarming enemies. This is the most common class. Pilot: Controls Plague starships. Has extremely high ability to multitask, but are kept under mind lock (a form of mind control) by the Plague Sovereigns. Resembles a tan floating banana. Pilots are unwilling participants in The Plague's campaign, even though they hold more power than any other class other than Sovereigns, as they command all of The Plague's fleet. Intense hatred for the rest of The Plague is built up among Pilots. Sovereign: Technically of the same species as the Combat class, but all the natural armor is removed and replaced with steel ornamental armor. There are only six of these at any given time (one for each arm of the Milky Way), and they jointly rule over all of The Plague. All Sovereigns have equal power.-GAMEPLAYGlitches can distort reality, although they are still limited. They have a certain amount of time they can stay in transcendence (The state in which they have the ability to distort reality), after which they must let themselves recover.The Glitches must defend the planet against an interstellar race called the Plague. The Plague tracks gamma ray patterns as they explode out of supernovae, following the signature of the radiation until it hits a populated planet, when they use the downed magnetic field to teleport a colony establishment unit there (the magnetic field blocks teleportation). Once the unit makes it to the planet, they proceed to spread from city to city, killing any inhabitants and taking resources back to their homeland. What is left of the world is then left to die from the solar wind entering the atmosphere.--GLITCHESThere are many powers for Glitches, and here I will list the default ones. You are welcome to create a new one, as long as it is of about equal power to these, so no Life or Death Glitches, please.Space- The Space Glitch distorts the spacial world around it, turning it into, for all intents and purposes, a liquid. This Glitch can manipulate this liquid to some extent, but it is taxing to control it for long.Time- Time Glitches have the ability to bend time to their will, stopping, slowing and speeding it up. Fire- Glitches of Fire are gifted with the ability to focus heat in an area on certain points. They can only use heat that is already in existence, therefore to create heat they must absorb it from other areas, thus making those areas colder.Force- Force Glitches can use the forces around them to their advantage, using powerful telekinesis to kill foes. An attack from a Force Glitch causes the enemy to be blown backwards, causing immense damage in a good situation. A Force Glitch may also reverse existing forces such as gravity and momentum for a short time.Thaum- A Thaum Glitch has power over mysticism, allowing it to see through walls, fly, use telepathy, and other things of the like. Thaum Glitches are always one step ahead in strategy due to their mind-reading capabilities.--FACTIONSGaia ConferenceThe Gaia Conference is a coalition formed in 2032 with the purpose of protecting Earth from any outside attackers. While its methods are controversial, the Gaia Conference is the most important and effective defense force on the planet. Three years after its formation, the GC built an enormous structure spanning the circumference of the Earth at the equator. On this structure there are many anti-aircraft flak cannons that helped thin the lines of The Plague as it arrived on Earth.PraesidiumPraesidium, the second most powerful protector of Earth, operates mostly in extra-planetary warfare, as opposed to the GC's ground tactics. Praesidium destroyed the portal that was opened to Earth by The Plague, thus preventing them from launching as full of an assault as intended.The PlagueSee above for information on The Plague.--CHARACTERSName: PsycheGender: NeuterAllegiance: PlagueSpecies: Plague SovereignBio: Psyche is the Sovereign in charge of the Orion Arm of the Milky Way. He commands the fleet attacking earth. The humans know almost nothing about Psyche's past, and neither do the Plague. It is customary for a Plague promoted to Sovereign to destroy all record of his past and change his name, and Psyche is no exception.Note: Being a non-Glitch species, this is an Admin character.Name: Farid Al-QahtaniGender: MaleAllegiance: HumanSpecies: GlitchBio: Farid was foreman of a construction job in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia when the Glitch event happened. After the event, he suffered amnesia from the gamma burst, but was turned into a Space Glitch. When the Gaia Conference recruited him two days after the Glitch event, he was the only Glitch in their force that had prior military training, having served in the Saudi military for four years.Played by: Mendicant Bias-RULES [*]Keep it real; don't godmode.

Maybe… I've never been a fan of Cave Story, though. I never liked the plot.

Avelic, though smiling on the outside, seethed internally. He hated dumb little get-togethers like this. Avelic never saw the point in them, preferring rather to enjoy the company of a good blade to sharpen. At least the cool, sharp metal is more interesting to be in the presence of than his gossiping, boisterous friends. He chuckled slightly at that last thought: friends was more than a bit of a stretch. Avelic would be generous to even call these imbeciles acquaintances. For a flitting second he thought of how nice it would be to plunge his trusty dagger Prudentia into one of their chests, just to prove a point. When this thought passed, Avelic was shocked at how his mind could turn to evil so fast.His reflections were short-lived, however, as they were rudely interrupted by a massive explosion originating from the courtyard fountain. The shockwave knocked the Matoran head over heels, leaving Avelic struggling to maintain consciousness. When he was able to see again, he saw blood. Lots of it. His immediate thought was that he was injured, but he realized that this blood was not his. It belonged to his only true friend present, a fellow Po-Matoran by the name of Jukanti, who had been crushed by a stone statue. Avelic retched at the gruesome sight. A realization soon came to his foggy mind that someone had bombed the party.That someone happened to emerge from the doorway to the estate, and seemed to be surveying the damage he had caused. The unnatural smile on the face of the bomber, a the Ko-Matoran called Ivuan, unnerved Avelic, who tried his best to play dead. When the bomber reached him, Avelic could tell by the long pause above his body that the bomber didn't buy his act. It was then that Avelic realized that he had left his dagger in the care of Jukanti, who was currently in quite a predicament involving a stone statue and his flattened carcass. As Ivuan stood over the Matoran, Avelic formulated a plan. Avelic, in a sudden burst of energy, caught his feet on Ivuan's upper leg armor. Avelic pulled with all his strength, reversing positions with his adversary. Ivuan's surprise was nearly tangible as Avelic snatched his dagger Prudentia from the grasp of Jukanti. "I may not have liked these people, but I assure you I despise you with all my heart. I can honestly say you deserved this."Suffice it to say the dagger found its mark.

Kill it with fire

Some high praise there.
