No, no, by all means take over Zero and Kallen as soon as you feel like it. You can always bring characters back in later when you've got the idea...
After the hot spring, which will be a little while because of character development time, ZEXIS will head towards Temporal Tower, where the chapter finale will take place as Caius's plan takes effect.
Official note: Only three more new characters may be introduced per RPer until the end of this chapter now. This is because it's already hard enough figuring out who's involved in the finale for me already, and late introductions screw with me like that. This does not include planned introductions that have been discussed with a staff member, because that would be unfair.
Unrelated to the subject of Droid's return, long-awaited as it may have been, my last post marks the forming of ZEXIS, which will be what most of the mecha-related characters will be part of from now on. It doesn't mean the group will always be this huge, far from it; it just means that everyone is a legally-written ally of each other now, and overall they're part of the same organization. From now on, when referring to the mecha groups, you can refer to them as a whole as ZEXIS.
~~The Hot Spring~~ Spoiler: This group really is gigantic right now Having heard Genome's story, and seeing him begin to tear up and begin to worry about what his future may hold, Noriko felt sad. He truly reminded her of the one she had known before all of this. She wondered what ever had become of that one and his story, but quickly dismissed the thought, knowing she had to live in the present day now. She placed her hand on his shoulder comfortingly, and tried to work everything out. She knew what he had said, and she believed it completely; she had lived through just as strange events, after all. "Genome, just because the man who is our enemy used to be you doesn't mean that you will eventually be him. Look at Zen, okay? I was told that the Zen I pilot for you right now wasn't originally yours; it was your older self's that you stole from him. If you truly become him, then Zen shouldn't be able to exist. It would keep getting older and older with each passing cycle of you stealing it from your older self, but as far as anyone can tell, Zen is only as old as the Spiral King is. That means that the Zen we have now was never stolen before you took it from him, which in turn means that even though he used to look, think, act, and even be exactly like you, your experiences and feelings are your own." Having said a lot in one go, Noriko took a short pause, before saying her overall meaning, summarizing her point. "I think that, more than thinking of yourself as somebody who will become the enemy of humanity, you're the only person who can see what the Spiral King has done and make sure nothing like that ever happens. You can make the choice of who you become now, since at least one wrong path has been shown to you like this, so don't go thinking you're evil just yet." *** "So, another hot spring, is it?" Kamina said, sat on a small rock, his hand gripping his chin with interest. "Not bad, not bad at all. Looks like somebody wants to reward us for our good work lately. I mean, we have done a lot these past two days." "Yeah!" Simon replied, looking up at him happily for once. "But look how many of us there are this time!" "Yeah!" Kamina said, his trademark grin growing there on his face. "Our family really has grown on this world, hasn't it? Old Spiral King up there on his throne won't know what hit him." "Wait, you don't mean...?" "Yeah. It's time we started hitting those Beastmen creeps hard. We'll show them that Team Dai-Gurren isn't something you can just mess with anymore." "But their army is so huge!" "Look around you, Simon. We aren't just a small group anymore either. And unlike the Spiral King, our guys are all aces. We all have some reason to want to fight beyond ''our boss said so'', y'know?" "I understand that, but--" "Simon." Kamina said with a slightly different tone suddenly, looking right into his eyes. "What is your drill for?" "M-my drill? It's... for digging holes--" "Wrong! Simon, your drill is the drill that will pierce the heavens and take us into a new life where nobody has to hide and shake in fear of earthquakes or Beastmen wanting to kill them." "What a fool." Zero said, just out of earshot of the pair, with Kallen Kozuki, the pilot of the Guren Flight Type, and C.C., the immortal witch. "How can somebody like that be expected to lead an army of rebellion?" "Are you perhaps jealous, Lelouch?" C.C. teased, smirking at him. "That such a ''fool'' managed to do just the same as you did, perhaps even easier, despite being that?" "Be quiet." he replied, slightly annoyed. "Even I can see what it is that he has. He may be a fool, but it's obvious that his aspirations are something that people can follow. More importantly, do not use that name here. I am Zero." "Hey, you!" a voice suddenly called out, catching the three off-guard. Kamina's duo had spotted them at last. "Who the hell are you? And why do you wear a mask like that?" Kamina growled, his eyes narrowed at Zero. "I will not have demands made of me--" "Zero." Kallen said, warning him briefly with that single word. "...yes. Understood, Kallen." he said, before turning back to Kamina. "My name is Zero. My forces are know as the Black Knights. Our mission is to liberate Japan from the Empire of Britannia and grant us all independence!" There was a long pause. "...eh?" Kamina finally replied, his head tilting slightly to the side. "W-What part of liberating Japan do you not understand, you moron?!" "The Japan part! Just what the hell are you talking about, pal?! I don't know anything about something like that!" Finally regaining his composure, Zero placed one hand on his mask and announced; "Very well! You, Kamina Jiha of Team Dai-Gurren will come under my command! Join me!" he said, as a panel of his mask opened up, and the Geass Sigil flew from his left eye into Kamina's right. Kamina's eyes glowed red briefly, as the sigil struck the man, and took control of his mind. There was a pause, as Kamina's growl fell slightly. But then it suddenly came back. "What the hell makes you think I would do something like that?!" he said, as the red outline to his eyes vanished. "Team Dai-Gurren isn't just a plaything, you know?!" Zero and C.C. both stood there in confusion. They couldn't believe what they had just seen before their eyes. This man, Kamina, leader of Team Dai-Gurren, hadn't just resisted a Geass briefly,but seemingly completely denied it. "...I... I see." Zero said, attempting to regain himself. "Then perhaps I underestimated your loyalty to your cause." Yes, this would work. If he couldn't sway the man to come under his command, then he would simply do things the way he would have done back when he was nothing more than Lelouch Lamperouge; use words alone. "If that is the case, then I propose an alliance. The Black Knights shall support and assist Team Dai-Gurren, and in return, Team Dai-Gurren shall support and assist The Black Knights until a day comes when both cease to exist!" "What the hell?! Where do you get off deciding these things on your ow--" "That's something I'd drink to." a third voice suddenly interrupted. Spoiler: Enter... "And you would be...?" Zero asked, motioning towards the new arrivals with interest. "We're members of Celestial Being. My code name is Sumeragi Lee Noriega. This is Feldt Grace, Marie Parfacy, and Lasse Aeon, our Gundam Meisters. The rest of us are the crew of the Ptolemaios." Sumeragi answered, stepping forward with her relatively large group. "We'll join up with this alliance too, if you'll allow us to." "And what makes you so interested in this idea, may I ask?" There was a short pause before Sumeragi answered the masked knight. "Our actions once changed the world for the worse. We want to set that right, and to make sure we don't let something like that happen again." "I see. Very well then; Celestial Being shall also become a part of this union." "As will GGG." came another voice, as Kotarou Taiga stepped forward. "And Nerv." said Gendo Ikari, as he joined the group. "I will too." the voice of Amuro joined the party. "What the hell, it might be interesting at least." Dearche added, a small smirk on her face while Yuri clung to her side. "Very well! From this point on, let it be known that when any of our teams undertake a serious operation, they will never have to do so alone, regardless of things that may have happened in the past!" "We'll need a name." Crowe spoke up. "Gotta know who the repair bills go to!" Rand joked, giving a thumbs-up to the idea. "Dai-Dai-Gurren!" Kamina suddenly said. Nobody paid any notice. **Several minutes later** Spoiler: Music The lot of them signed their organization names onto the contract that had been written up, before standing together in what appeared to be a briefing room off to the side of the hot springs. This would have been unusual, had it not been on planet Disgaea. "Then it's decided. While our organizations are also separate and are free to recruit independently, from now we are all an official organization together also." "ZEXIS." Zero spoke, looking at the map projection in the center of the room. "The EXtra-International Savers. It has an interesting ring to it." "Then, if it's settled, it's time for everyone to get a well-deserved break from all this serious stuff." Sumeragi suddenly said, stretching out for a moment before walking back off to the Hot Spring, along with most of the rest of the cast. "Indeed. Until ZEXIS's first operation." Zero said, and the group disbanded into their respective areas in the hot spring once more.
Pretty good, just not quite the same without your sense of humour.
My reaction to you returning: http://youtu.be/hrenec93EH4?t=10s
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/StableTimeLoop It's a genuine scientific possibility. Don't "just be happy" with it, it's scientifically accurate.
Overruled. What I said was that it wasn't right to play the character, not to reserve them. Roxam is, by all means, allowed to play the character when more information is released, which is precisely what I said. Please read my statements more thoroughly before attempting to call me a hypocrite in future, as it is incredibly rude.
This RP is set in Japan, not American. Arizona is nowhere near Japan.
Reserving: Pokémon X/Y Female Protagonist (Pokémon X/Y) I'll fill in her form when we get closer to the release date of the games.
Reserving: Donkey Kong (Donkey Kong series and Game Grumps)
So you don't care if you play him accurately, just that you play him. Does that actually sound reasonable to anyone?
Mentioned does not mean characterized. No, it's not. I'm busy with Cove right now, but I still intend to post for today, and I'd rather nobody jumped ahead.
I'm pretty sure Assassin's Creed 4 hasn't been released yet, nor had enough material released for anyone to understand his character yet. Please don't use him until that changes.
Unmarked spoilers below. The simple answer is; the same way Present-day Doctor got out. It was a stable time loop that always happened that way. Yes, it was a paradox, but so was most of the episode, which was resolved at the end by stopping the event entirely.
On your new RP, you mean? I would be quite happy to, by all means. Just let me know what you need help with when you need it and I'll be glad to...
It's purely for looks, and they used to be slightly stronger because of the way the game decided if it was shiny or not, though that's no longer the case. They're just rare. You have a 1 in 8000 or less chance of a wild Pokémon being shiny when you encounter it.
Go home, HoT, you are drunk.
