Constructelf Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Quick question: what would happen if an inorganic substance was exposed to antidermis? Suppose you dumped it on a rock or something. Rock has no moral alignment; it's just a rock. Would the antidermis turn it into some sort of indestructible rock then (because it can cause more destruction if it never breaks). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvan Haven Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Judging from the glass vials that we see it being held in I would figure that nothing happens. 5 "I serve the weak.

Voxumo Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Spoke with nuju on something similar, if antidermis can not affect a kanohi, I would assume it could not affect other non-organic stuff. Likely it would just wash over the rock and do nothing.

They Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 (edited) If so then the Abettors are not entirely organic, are they? My deduction used the following information:Good beings, and those with morals closer to good than evil, are destroyed by Antidermis.non-living things such as kanohi are not affected by antidermis.Zaktan used antidermis to enslave the Abettor in Mangaia. The Abettor has been stated as being entirely inorganic in substance. Additionally, Ishi has proved it, "does not eat."

Nuju Metru Posted September 10, 2014 Author Share Posted September 10, 2014 If so then the Abettors are not entirely organic, are they? Gonna assume you meant to say "robotic," and tell you that the Abettors are entirely robotic. However, to quote myself from the Vault Loot post: In our game, Antidermis is “fluid destruction,” a pseudo-intelligent substance that, when it comes into contact with sentience, will pursue the most economical way to cause more destruction in the world. This is the key: Antidermis only affects sentient beings, organic or otherwise. The level of processing that the Abettors are capable of is definitely close enough to sentience for them to be corruptible. Antidermis isn't designed to have any effect on the purely inorganic or unthinking, such as the vials/Zamors/vat it's held in, as those objects are amoral in the most literal sense, and so outside the fluid's "programmed" interest. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~Xemnas~ Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 So, uh, out of curiosity, who's in charge of the villages when both the Akiri and the Toa Maru are gone? Is this something that was ever discussed, or are there characters that were agreed upon to be head of the villages in case of the Akiri's absence? Part of the reason I'm asking is that I noticed Geardirector's character in Le-Wahi is heading off to see Kongu, and when she finds out that he's not there (as far as I know, he's still in Ta-Koro), she'll probably have to talk to Kongu's second-in-command. And I would like to know who that is. BZPRPG Profiles Ghosts of Bara Magna Profile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voxumo Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 That is a good question actually, one i wished i had an answer for.. I know some akiri players had set up a second in command, such as Matoro and nuparu I think... but not sure about the rest... I would imagine if no second command was named, it would go to the highest ranking personnel in the military force of that koro... but that is just my opinion, fairly certain NM has a better response Banner made by Onaku BZPRPG CHARACTERS Syvra-Tivanu If you interact with one of my characters and I don't respond or acknowledge the interaction within a day, send me a PM.

Hitoshura Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Well in the canon(I don't care if this is canon or not) the Turaga had matoran right hands, similar to the second-in-command thing, so maybe the Akiri did that. profiles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timageness Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 As Nato and I have stated before on the previous page, PC interaction sometimes has a tendency of being non-existent, and that's usually when players are left to their own devices to move their character's stories along. That being said, Nuju's Zaktan just so happened to release a horde of tree eating Entropy Beetles that are wrecking the jungles of Le-Wahi, and they're most definitely going to be moving towards the Koro you're currently in at some point unless they're stopped... Think your Vortixx is up for squashing some bugs?

AuRon the champion Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 With this discussion about antidermis, this raises the question... In the case of Arden and Aeolus, both of them tend to be mostly neutral-aligned characters. While Arden is more lawful and more inherently good, Aeolus is much more of a character who could be described as evil. He follows his own ambitions and desires, but is lawful in the regard that he won't break laws or codes of honor to achieve his goal. Since it's two spirits in one body, what would be the final result of the antidermis then? BZPRPG Characters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
