Welcome to Gaia! ::

Everything was still and silent. The subdivision wasn’t very active anymore as a small gust of wind came flowing by. Multiple suburban houses lined the streets, as all of them were made of mortar and brick, 2-3 floors, blood stained, white picket fences and lawns strewn with dead bodies laying about on the sidewalks and out on the streets. That’s what one silhouette with a Cheshire grin would see, as he would peer out the window and see a lone boy out in the cul-de-sac. Just one, and, despite the scene, he was laughing, smiling, and having quite the fun.

Pulling armor clad foot back, he let go and swung out with all his strength. The foot ran through a single ant hill. Bits and pieces of red and orange specs of gravel and sand went flying, as a flood of tiny, 6-legged, super bugs came out to defend their territory, but, alas, it would be to no avail. Though they can lift anything 50 times their weight, they still weren’t a match for the giant. The ground below their tiny feet began to blow up, as one by one, they began to become electrocuted. Small, black, burnt spots patterned the ground, as the ants become roasted.

“I am your God! Bow before me or get smited, b***h ants!” The five-foot-five teen laughed. Sixteen years old, he adorned full samurai armor. The upper body and hakama he wore a firebrick red. Around his neck is tight-skinned rubber and high collar that went up to his chin. His hair was put up in a long black pony tail. Taking a step back, his heavy, metallic shoes fell down harshly on the ground, as he pulled out a long sword which he held at his side. Swinging it side to side, he devastated the ant hill like he did the entire town. Nothing could stop him. Murder and blood was what fueled his aspiration for power. He IS Aspiration.

Arcs of searing solstice prelude beamed through the congregation of towns, and their humankind, however in this desolate midsection the spirits of this inhabitance had vanished revealing the shell of their physical beings. The arid smell of rotting flesh corroded the atmosphere, the air appeared unfitting for the surrounding mass to breathe, it was cluttered as the ground, except it was coated with the thick crimson liquid substa
[04:50] liquid substances of vital fluids. The shattering breath of remince then repulsed into the sound barrier, bearing clutter to the human eardrum, the mere sound of mangled ribcages strewing their pasts in desolate union, to display themselves to the next victim that would have been felled by the hand of the being that sauntered slowly to the same cul-de-sac that the member of youth resided, killing innocent creatures as if a inhuma
[04:50] as if a inhuman recreation. Standing 20 feet away from the youth was another man that of a sadistic wrath wrought the atmosphere of the parameter, suffocating it as the being of might merely ambled in. The being looked as if it was the very one that threatened to bring down the mightiest of foes, all that could be seen of his facial outline where a silhouette of a face, silver shoulder length hair that restrained ebony colored de
[04:51] colored decidedness that hung in predominant streaks through the locks of hair, that rustled with the winds visage. Standing poised, the shadows of the sun cascaded over the meager abidance of an obsidian hued cloak that faltered with the similarities of the wind, and it was the thing that veiled his facial features, lace like chains hanging at the neck before allowing two outcasting layers to expose themselves to the radiance of
[04:51] light that crashed around the male. Almost upon recognition of the youth, a mighty shriek of malice exploded from the depths of the hood, the sound mocked that of shattering glass as the herculean sound waves caused the hood to whip from his face, revealing his face to be in two separate patterns of colors, one being the deepest tine possible, one being the purest, the cause being that of facial paint or something mimicking that
[04:51] mimicking that origination.

Aspiration was having a SHOCKINGLY good time zapping all of the ants. One by one, he annihilated ever last one. The denizens of the underground were running, fleeing, terrified, as they had their own many pandemic like that of the lowly citizens that once lived in all of those homes before. He pointed his fingers like guns; shooting them all down. As he did so, he made bang and pop sounds like they were real guns. This was just like that game on the computer. The one where you get to play as God, and the world is your playing field. It would have been great, if only he didn’t show up.

The sound of glass breaking echoed throughout the neighborhood and emanated from behind the youth. Shocked, surprised, and caught off guard, the boy would have immediately turned around, and with his already juiced fingers, he would do a complete 180 and instantly begin electrocuting the male that had stood behind him, just 20 feet away. It was lightning that left his fingers. Pure, fast, and powerful, the bolt would have electrocuted the male on contact and burn him, if not disintegrate the male.

With his turn, a humming sound began to originate from his body, as a swirling mass of impurity, darkness, and shadow stretched from his feet. The mass would have stretched out and run the boy’s entire length and flank in doing so, burning leaves found their way out of the pool and fell to the ground. “The hell! Are you trying to give me a heart attack?

* Resurgence The crackling of the nible digits where spelled out, it was almost a sign as he saw the male's muscles tense as he spanned a complete 180 degrees. At the instant the foe mved, he swung his hand in a position around the place that he knew would be the first target, because of the adjacent coordinate of the adversary's attack.

[05:39] Raising his right appendage into the air, fingers curled around a place in space, something that appeared to be inanimate by any that might be specating. The speculation however conceived caused a flash of brilliance, blissfull celestial light drew vivid curtians over the man's armspan. At the second of the altitude measure, the lights subdued revealing that of a ten foot pole, being held in one palm as if it somehow weightless. The
[05:39] the lights subdued revealing that of a ten foot pole, being held in one palm as if it somehow weightless. The weapon, now being pulled between his index and his thumbs, shone with a decitic cerulean visage, mirrored with the color of glacial impact, toning half of the weapon, the layer of steel that was nt available on the planet formulated its restitude within the male's fingers.

[05:39] formulated its restitude within the male's fingers. With the weaponry within his palm, he drew it along the air before slamming it into the bolt of lightning that attempted to destroy him, however the lightning coarsed throughout the area it had strucken, and stopped as the metal was not a conductor to the bias of electricity or flame. Continuing the movement of the rod, he sliced through the atomosphere only to cause slicing winds t
[05:40] or flame. Continuing the movement of the rod, he sliced through the atomosphere only to cause slicing winds to pierce the wind, breaking the ground as they traveled at breakneck speeds towards the foe.

As Aspiration shot out a bolt of lightning towards his opponent, the b***h lurched forward with a rod in hand. In reaction to the pole that moved forward, the dark mass expanded forward to protect him, but it wasn’t the rod it protected him from. It was the wind. As the dark shadow widened and covered Aspiration’s front, it engulfed the slashing winds and halted the destruction of the ground below. In doing so, it stopped the ground from shaking, as sewage began to slush back and forth underground.

The humming sounded that originated from the boy strengthened to unimaginable levels, as it became ultrasonic. The sound stung the air, as the high frequency, oscillating air particles increased in decibels. The windows of the houses shattered instantly, as their structure gave way to the energy emitted. Entering the ears of any living being, it would surpass the audible pain threshold. Flowing through the body, it would shake everything within and create a sense of nausea. One would begin throwing up, convulse, and lose focus, as everything would spin around and multiply. Images of dark ink blot masses ripping through space became ubiquitous, dropping brown objects down onto the ground which hurriedly slinked and took up root within the earth’s crust and concrete, as the sky darkened overhead.

Color changing ocular features gazed beneath the curtains of ivory and the dark shade of ebony. Flicking his cranium into an upward stance, he heard the sound of the reverberated humming that oriented around his opposition. Placing his palms over his ears a small yell of agony was spurted from the male's vocal cords, before a light grin befell the man's facial features. At the moment of desolation, it was seen that the male
[06:53] before a light grin befell the man's facial features. At the moment of desolation, it was seen that the male was shifting in peculiar fashions, almost as if he was not flesh. The grueling fact was however true, his form was made of the same kind of atmospheric gas as the planet of Venus held ownership over, compacted in such a way that it had the exact same pigmentation that a piece of humanity could house. Now was his chance, e was

[06:53] way that it had the exact same pigmentation that a piece of humanity could house. Now was his chance, e was not harmed by the meager beings of sound waves because he himself had no vital organs, and was made of highly compacted gas that had unknown potential, however something more was stirring. From around where his slicing winds where paused, the wind settled, almost as if finding rectitude all around where the opponent was located
[06:53] where his slicing winds where paused, the wind settled, almost as if finding rectitude all around where the opponent was located, however the true potential of the slicing winds where about to be discovered at speeds that where unknown to man. At the moment of finding subtle rest the particles around him began to compact and become so tightly intertwined that the foe was forced to remain paused within the parameter of the noxious gas
[06:53] compact and become so tightly intertwined that the foe was forced to remain paused within the parameter of the noxious gas that was released in the form of wind. With the entity of this strange gas formation it began to break cells apart, around his opponent’s visage was desinigrating as whatever caught in the gas began to slowly decelerate, breaking apart into millions of pieces as well as causing the gas to spread, slowly engulfi
[06:53] began to slowly decelerate, breaking apart into millions of pieces as well as causing the gas to spread, slowly engulfing a wide parameter as it feasted on the area it had began formation with.

As the air itself became toxic and corrosive in nature, Aspiration’s being began to dissolve and become broken up into particles, but it would not continue for long. The dark mass, began sucking the air into itself. Compact it may be, gas is gas. When a vacuum is set forth, the gas WILL go into it. The gas that has been unleashed thinned out until the original air came to and the gas would be gone. His face was destroyed and was without recognition. Armor melted and eroded, the figure of the male was barely distinguishable, but one true fact remained. He was still there.

An utterance of disembodied laughing sounded throughout the subdivision, as rain poured down from the heavens. A giant mass of the darkest of shadows appeared in the center of the cul-de-sac just a bit ways off from Aspiration and the other man. The mass formed a black face with a wide Cheshire grin on it. Opening wide, darkness spread out through multiple shadow portals, and it connected all together into one mass. The darkness spread out rapidly in less than 2 seconds. Everything went black, as all was shrouded within darkness. The light from before was taken away and repelled. The neighborhood is trapped within the shadows.

Though the affects of the vibrations did not work on the enemy, the fact that there were portals everywhere wasn’t negated. What were brown objects were actually huge seeds. With the pluvial tear drops of heaven washing upon the seen, the plants were given life. Bursting from the dark sinewy ground, giant green vines were brought forth from underground.. Though unseen, they wiggled about with life, as these spiky tentacles clasped together into humongous plants that were at least 6 ft tall. With big broad tendrils, 1 foot sharp thorns that dripped poison and buds as big as a Labrador, these plants went unseen.

One of these seeds had rooted itself below the foot of the evil man. Sprouting upward, it would ensnare the male in its spiked tendrils and impale him with multiple thorns throughout the body. As the poison coursed through his being, the plant began to siphon the gasses within his body. Using it’s process of respiring gasses, it would take in the gas of the enemy, and expel oxygen within his body. This would help the gas catch on fire, as a bolt of pure lightning was shot forth from Aspiration’s body, but as he did so, his body went to ash. It was no longer able to sustain itself, as his structure was gone with the wind.

But, this is not the end. As one door closes, another one opens. The light giggle of feminine laughter sounded throughout the suburban area. She came at the same time as her plants did. They were her babies. And it was mommy’s job to make sure her babies are fed. Yes. Mother Nature was in the building, and she was looking for a fly. Connected to her foot was a portal of swirling darkness like that of Aspiration before her. Her saps had enough water to quench their thirst. It was time to commence nature’s revenge plan.

With a small wink, the plants opened their buds to reveal giant flowers. Generating unseen particle beams that filled up the entirety of the humongous bud, all flowers in the vicinity began to unleash hell on the ensnared male. Approximate number of plants in the area; somewhere between 50 to 100. Big beams converged on the enemy with lightning speed, as they all gathered and made explosion after explosion after explosion. If the man was to still be in the position he was in, these 5ft radius beams would de-molecularize, obliterate, assimilate, and annihilate the man. The gases he would be made of would burn do to the lightning caused by the gone Aspiration. With their burning, they would change and create water for this was how chemical reactions work. More water, more power. The beams kept attacking, as the rain fueled their power. And now, the plants grew even bigger and more powerful. And for as long as they were around, the darkness will be filled with invisible beams that could ‘potentially’ go on for hours.

Pressing his palm against his face, he yelled in agony as oxygen was pumped into his body, but in all eventually the plants in itself began to desinigrate, granting him their photosynthesised energy. Seeable aura flaunted as they entered the male's form, the cages of his oculi shut in deep concentration. "Doajakagan.. I feel your presence, Show me to victory.." He spoke in a static filled monotone, the ground around him rupturin
[09:41] rupturing from the power hidden within the being conceived of might itself. Reoppening the lids of flesh a schlera darked by the impurest of blacks, the imprint of the demons shrouded within the whites of his ocular beings. The epicenter of his eye however was the most formidible, a white 10 pronged star sat devuldged within the male of glory's eye, inbetween parted lids of flesh. "Show the foe no mercy.. Unleash.." He spoke as he spread
[09:41] He spoke as he spread his arms. At the point he uneashed a full wingspread, the ground caved around him, accumulated winds that had condensed around him mixed with the oxygen, conceiving to the flame and bearing even more reproduction until each molecule was superheated, in that point they would double, and then triple and so fourth. In less than a thought could be mustered the area, everything was exploding, reactions with the tangibilit
[09:41] reactions with the tangibility of aura and the reaction of oxygen molding with the same particle influence occured once again, the spreading becoming such a quickening speed that an entire mile was engulfed in an endless sphere, the poison freezing whatever conceived within it, before decelerating it's essence as well as their physical embodiment. In breakneck speed, everything was devoured by this coarse aura, around him lie a Herculean
[09:41] Herculean crater, the foe wiped from existance if this where even to connect for less than a fraction of a millisecond.. Nothing existed anymore; it was all conceived dreams formulated by mankind, to eliminate the foe.

“I’m going to kill that sonofabitch this time”, the silhouette said behind the window. The male wore a giant grin on his face. Dressed in black armor with gold and red trimmings, he watched from under his hood, as he believed that his enemy will be vanquished. “Come on! Hurry up and die already!” He was shaking. He couldn’t wait to see the male’s face once the end comes, and he shall be the winner, but then, suddenly, he heard something that made him near lose all hope.

"Doajakagan.. I feel your presence, Show me to victory..."

“Fuuuuuu”, the male said, as he broke down the door to the house, and began running for the man. With his arms forward, they began to pump on beat with his legs. Though his face was completely black and smooth other than his Cheshire grin and toothy mouth, his face twisted, as he mouthed the word, “No.” Running, his head went swaying side to side with the speed he forced into every step he took.



As he sprinted towards Levi, he pulled out his dual black katana blades. “I’m not going to let you win this time”, he yelled, as he leaped forward in the air. Soaring through the pouring rain, dive bombed straight for him. . "Show the foe no mercy…”

“I’ll show you no mercy, noob!” But, as he slashed through the body, something entered into his avatar’s brain. Levi’s avatar was made out of burning gas. “Shiiiit”, was all he could say, as he leapt through the opponent’s body and became incinerated and barbequed loser of the game.

“Unleash!” And the b*****d still destroyed the map!

“Virtual Battle Similuation over. Winner: Levi”

“Crap! I lost again”, complained the one who’s character was burned. “Why does it always have to be me?”

“Better luck next time, Neo.”

“Oh, ******** off!” With that, he closed the case with the point of his middle finger. With a great big fuss, he swore like a sailor, as he slammed the door to the holographic chamber.

Revan is more informed than i am, but isn't Anti-matter something believed to exist to explain a gravity issue? I don't think anti-mater is "really" what people think it is

Gah, I lost the sexy of that 3000 word post. So you get the quick version

First of all, Anti-Matter vs. Dark Matter

Not the same thing at all.

Dark matter is a "mass" counter part of Dark energy. It basically does nothing but give of gravity fields. It does not interact with light, nor normal matter in normal cases. It is also considered, for this reason, it is theorized by to make up some of the core of black holes. Now, that being said, I have gone as far, for sake of making sense out of semi-fiction, to say that when a star collapses it basically forces the creation of condensed dark matter, as if regular matter makes up only 4% of regular mass-energy density, and dark matter 23%, that means, despite being unable to see or even feel it, the dark matter itself would be pretty freaking dense if formed into a tangible object. Hence why I would say that a black holes core is partly made up of solidified dark matter, which would explain its high degree of gravitational pull.

All that said, dark matter is not the major point of this post since it's not the thing in question. But I must state, dark matter is NOT the same thing as anti-matter. And if you try to use them interchangeably in a fight with me, I will likely destroy you for it.

Anti-matter is what we all want to know about. Anti-matter is not really "ANTI" matter. Or rather, it should not be considered anti-mass/energy. Anti-matter is the polarized opposite to regular matter. So take carbon. Its counterpart would be Anti-carbon. There would be almost no difference between the two elements in their basic functionality and inner structure at all (save the key difference of positrons to electrons and anti-protons to protons). Now, if these two matters met, they would release gamma-rays. Yes, they would give off emissions strong enough to melt your freaking body to paste. Positive plus negative does not equal neutral in the world of mass-energy processes. It simply results in mass or energy. And this one ends in pure energy.

I would like to state that trying to create anti-matter requires massive control over energy to a degree that would go beyond cognitive thought processes of any regular sentient being, because the degree of aspects to control just to conjure anti-matter could literally kill the summoner. And even with the right conditions, it's concept of use in a mostly matter based universe is simply retarded. This is because conjuring positrons and anti-protons, and oh GOD! Anti-neutrons would be suicide. First of all, the moment the smaller particle would touch the air particles, they would erupt but touching the regular protons neutrons and electrons in the air. DUH! Secondly, you need a massive amount of energy to create matter/anti-matter in the first place. Hence why most naturally occurring anti-matter is formed and then gets "destroyed"(converted into energy) in stars. Thirdly, even if all other issues were given not problems, honestly, if you were going up against an elemental, or someone who can fight against normal matter, or even someone who could manipulate energy to any degree, anti-matter would be nothing more than a surprise attack to whip out just to scare an unknowing opponent because they probably wouldn't have a clue as to how to deal with that at first.
___________________________________________________________________________________
Now, on to the issue. I didn't read the whole thing or any of it really. But it's late here and I just don't feel like it. But it sounds like your opponent whipped out some anti-matter-esque BS.

Seriously, if the universe could simply be destroyed, but the characters people use have powers "as boundless as the universe" wouldn't that mean that as they destroy, they are technically making themselves weaker by making the universe itself smaller by destroying it?

Again, I have no problem with people destroying crap, but reducing stuff without some form of real explanation is just asking for another Crim incident.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

For all you curious, Crim was a roleplayer from the site I was RP birthed from, who claimed that, because roleplaying was totally fiction, he didn't need to make sense in a fantasy setting. Well, at that time, Revan have a few more powers than he did now, so I followed his rules and showed him exactly how cheap I could be without having to make total sense of what I do, even though I explained everything enough to make it look like I could do everything I was doing, even though I couldn't.

Don't go there with me. I will find you and I will make you cry.

Something hit me today. I thought about what Revan said about the elemental users it became apparent that each element is more or less, a state of matter controller, but that limits them to a state of matter, yet with the right amount of training and knowledge, they could do more than normal classical element benders. This also makes it a tad bit more possible and easier to understand without giving them too much control over the world. An earth user would destroy all of reality simply because all things but energy are made of minerals. This would ruin the galaxy and the role play in which they are in.

I found a scientific pentagram that gave me a better grasp of the idea. I find this to be a very interesting twist to the classic idea.

An earth bender would be replaced by a solid manipulator.
A water bender would be a liquid manipulator.
An air bender would be a gas manipulator.
A fire bender would be a plasma manipulator.
And last but not least, the sky/heaven/void/spirit bender would best be placed as the dark matter manipulator.



Of course, for the sake of role play, they will need better names or something to make them sound cooler than that lame attempt. XD

I am the Gaseous Lord!

Indeed. I wonder how "state of matter manipulators" (horrid name) would fight?

It would truly be something.

Its a shame that Roleplaying's greatest strength is also its greatest flaw. Information and the search for a deep understanding. For the more you break something down to its most basic "elements", truly exposing that capabilities within. You find yourself in a position where you slowly bring yourself to a place where your character manipulated the very functions of the world.
Normally such actions are restrained by the tern "god mode" but how can one really call a action that is simply a more focused control or understand of a science of material a god mode?

This is why a crisp, clean and clear set of rules is being constructed by the Members of IP, to set a standard for Combat Roleplay, to explain what is really accepted.
Cause without any level of control, and restriction, one really, just has to look and theoretical sciences to design a character that is capable of stuff considered god-like. But with a reasonable level of explanation of why it is indeed possible for their character to do it.

But most importantly, rule to enforce a understanding that only with a firm "grip" of how the system works and how indeed your character could perform the action is indeed necessary before your character can use the said action. "Magic" is not a way of explaining things, not at a complex level. Such reasoning for character powers has severely damaged roleplay and is a reason for the decline in popularity in combat forums.

I just thought of something for IP.

Using the ranking system as a sort of base, There can be sort of... limits to god modding in a way. For instance, the closer you are to being an actual ' God ' , or at least considered one by way of the ranking, the more you can do with the power at your disposal.

Of course, I need to look at the exceptions. There are always prodigies, those granted power by the gods, the ones who just rock the power, and various other ideals that engage their power, and how it really affect everything in the world. In a way, The ranking system will give you a range of ability that you can do.

Get at me.

Oh well. Doesn't phase me none. I just found the pentagram on Google and thought about it.

In the classical elements, void and sky are the same being that they are the element of "out there". Space is void and the sky stretches into space. Void doesn't always mean null or empty. The same as silence can still be, to some degree, used as a sound. The absence is the evidence.
