The Reluctant Self

There is a point of no return
That point isn’t clearly marked
Some stray dogs keep watch nearby
But don’t count on them to bark
And let you know to watch your step
They have their own concerns
This place has been their homestead
So long as the sun has burned

On which side are we standing?
Is there no one who can tell?
Denied are all the wishes
Of the ones who dug the wells
Scarce sustenance is offered
By the crescent, cross, and wheel
The fittest ones among us
Still await a chance to heal

And I am the reluctant self
Confined to the first person view
I would like to be something else
Not someone else, but something new
Stranger than animal, alien, android
A difficult thing to conceive
Something unmoored, entirely free
Or merely a grain through the cosmic sieve

What happens when the world caves in on you?
What do you do when the sky is blood red and not blue?
When the voices of devils are carried up from the ground,
and all creation trembles with that twisted sound?

A spell most foul was laid upon this land,
and I went to fight it, blade in hand.
Only to find a foe not of man,
but a being of shadows, of whispers and plans.

When even the light from above is quenched,
how can one's inner self remain entrenched?
Your back will be broken on the rocks of despair,
for nothing can survive while pure down there.

An empty graveyard, where life fears to tread,
Death reigns here, in its stead.
Now look at the graves, stones withered by time,
and if you seek closely, you'll see mine.

Thunder and lightning clash in the sky,
the last remnants of gods gone by.
And below us all, a lake of fire,
burning all who earn God's ire.

This world was not meant for men,
But once here, you cannot leave again.
A figure hangs, above the door,
silently watching, forevermore.

World 2 – Denver State Hospital – Year 1980 (?)

Gwen propped a few boulders and went up to the air vent, in the hopes that she would not be chased by anything that is using this place. After all, how else would she explain the fact that a metal gate closed behind her without any apparent force or strong gales? Anyway, crawling along the miraculously clean air vents, Gwen made her way into one of the openings and dropped straight back to the corridor. She made her way to the right, which would lead her to the unlocked gate towards the Canteen.

As she walked past another cell, Gwen noticed something. Her motion sensors were picking up something. It was moving towards the door, then in a sheer display of strength, whatever was behind it broke the door. The commotion broke the silence of the corridor and with that, Gwen made a run for it towards the canteen and picked up a dull knife. It was not much, but it will have to do.

Readying herself for the fight, she stances herself and was prepared to fight whatever was the thing that was behind the door. It was a 5 feet tall humanoid, though not exactly human, as far as one’s concerned. It has a grey-white skin, covered only by torn overalls. Its eyes were bulging out of its sockets, though not bloodshot. Everything about this entity was black and white in terms of colour. Its head was bulging out, like a typical alien you see in those late-night TV.

“Come and get it, you bastard!” Gwen yelled out at the creature, with a knife in her right hand.

Description: (optional)

The Black Hole Incident has given one of our characters, Chief Aviator Gwen Tracer Hepburn “Fate” Ellen Trixie Caitlin Foxworthy Avril Verlene Eveline Celinda Sammy Wt. Oxton Arielle Lindall Leslie Allison, time powers. Actually, more of the fact that she was able to exist outside of time and space, and out of this game, more or less. (Those that came across my character in Forum 7 will know what I am blabbering about.)

As such, she will be going through and visiting several worlds, a third-person narrative on the adventures of Ms. Gwen. Topics and genres will vary from action and adventure, to some serious subjects (which I will try my very best to keep it serious), to sci-fi worlds from other game worlds. Basically, it will vary from down-to-Earth real-life worlds… to worlds from a literature or a video game that either everyone has heard about (or not). Some of the scenes are an accurate representation of the game/event, while at other times, it will deviate away to give something fresh of my own.

Valentine Z
The Sixty - Active Personnel of Valentine Z

A tall and cartoonish Android created by Isalov Industries (from Earth of another dimension in origin), as well as being the second most powerful entity in Valentine Z, Surveillant Clarissa leads Alanis Star after Valentijn entrusted her with much power and authority. Her personality, for most of the time, is described as cheerful, playful and loving, though a little bit on the childish at times. Additionally, she is known to be both erratic and eccentric, with an aforementioned cheerfulness to build. Due to her loving experience as a children’s mascot for most of her life in the parallel Earth, Clarissa states that she prefers to listen mostly to children’s nursery rhymes, as this brings her back to the carefree life that she used to have. Her country of origin is Burma, even though her last name seems to suggest that she might be Japanese or even French in nature; the latter seems to be much more pronounced, with Clarissa conversing and defaulting to French for the most parts. Clarissa is also an epitome of a robot who has perfected the harmony and synchronization between her human mind and the android body that the mind is put in, being able to utilise them and boost her human-mind capacity at 100% efficiency.

She was retrieved from Valentine Z’s Singapore in 24th of January, [DATA MISSING], whereby she was found motionless and without power at the middle of City Hall MRT station. She was then sent to General Valentijn and his company for further investigation, dragging the large robot across the roads of Singapore, to Burma. Bearing a model number N–2904/0, and after reading the instructions that came along with her, it was known that Clarissa is the prototype of the experiment that the Isalov company was doing at the time – to create an android with human intelligence in mind, or for a computer to replicate the sentience of a human. As far as the results show, it was determined that the project was successful as she was able to convey a wide range of emotions and basically act like a human would. Instructions show that she is also fitted with an arsenal of weapons for "self-defense", along with damage output exceeding 77.777.777 Newtons when going into a fistfight. Additionally, the instructions boast about Clarissa having an extremely extensive knowledge on just about every field and subject, and given the specs, Head Secretary Jamie and the rest at that time concluded that given the vast databank that Clarissa has, she might have the entire internet of her world of origin in her head. The instructions further states that Clarissa has a weakness and a distain for EMP-based weapons, and would loudly protest at the idea of having one near her.

When she was powered on, she quickly grabbed the neck of the nearest person at that moment - Valentijn himself; the self-defence mechanism quickly came into life, and while she did not intend to kill anyone, she was trying to stop Valentijn from hurting her, though the latter did not have such intentions. Valentijn, despite being strangled, tried his best to coax Clarissa, while his best friend, Foresittend Marcus, tried to get Valentijn out of Clarissa’s hands and placing a forward shield. He would also try to negotiate with the robot in order to let Valentijn go. Marcus was prepared to take a hit from Clarissa, if any, as well as from her miniguns that popped out from her shoulders. However, peace prevails, as despite the rough start, Clarissa presented herself as a peaceful and pacifistic woman/robot, and would soon free Valentijn, while trying to console him back. That, and also because there was an EMP weapon nearby, and there were several prominent friends of Valentijn (Valentians) who were armed to the teeth and was ready to attack and kill the robot at any time.

Upon being asked about her origin, Clarissa could not tell in full detail of what exactly happened to her. It was already established that she was from another dimension, in which has more or less the same version of Earth that Valentine Z is currently on (before terraforming and nuclear fallout). She expressed surprise at her vast size, stating that she was designed to be merely 8 feet tall (makes sense, seeing how anything too tall would be troublesome for her everyday life in her dimension). The most accepted theory was that upon travelling to Valentine Z’s world, she scaled up by a factor of 2.6x, as a result of the difference between her world and Valentine Z’s world; in other words, the parallel world that she came in from was same as that of Valentine Z’s world, except that everything was more or less bigger by 2.6 times (e.g. their definition of 1 metre is 2.6 metres for Valentine Z). Thus, she "grew" to a towering 6.35 meters. On that planet (hereby designated as Clarissa’s Earth, or Clarissa’s Home World), they have reached year 2014, 28 years behind General Valentijn’s dimension in terms of absolute numbers. Technology is said to be limited, with quantum physics yet to be fully mastered, and the electricity-consuming appliances and transportation still using an untidy form of chemical energy (In contrast to Valentine Z having 90 % adoption rate to clean energy, with 10 % adapting to experimental energy production from antimatter-matter annihilation). Isalov Industries was an exception, having been researched through and developing many technologies that the outside world has little to no idea about. Still, the people from all around the world fully entrusted her short of running their country, stating that they believe that Clarissa will not hurt anyone, and with her arsenal’s weapon more or less taken out of ammo, as well as having programs and fail-safes to keep her from going rogue, this was proven true, and she was accepted in many parts of her Earth.

During her time on her home world, Clarissa first took a job as a children’s mascot, and due to her cartoonish and changing face, she was able to express herself freely, a feature that all the other mascots lack and them having uncanny and terrifying faces. After doing that for a while, she went off to Singapore to volunteer at their Army, just because. After being given a lecture and being told not to go to sensitive or classified places (or else, she would get an EMP to her face), Clarissa complied, and restricted herself mostly to the training areas wearing her new uniform, over her clothes. (While her original clothes are made out of fabric, they are resistant to damage, and is unable to be taken out by conventional means in order to protect the internal parts. Clarissa herself objects to it, for obvious reasons.) One day in her bunk, Clarissa found herself isolated and alone, being unable to find out what happened to the 6.3 billion people around her and on the planet. From this point, Clarissa is unable to recall what exactly happened, only being able to cite “dark shades and shadows” that wandered around the then-desolated planet, which in turn gave her a splitting headache and overloading of her electrical parts if one comes near (though they don’t exactly cause physical damage; just software overdriving and corruption). Eventually, she managed to enter a portal only 20 Earth days later (~17.28 Decimal days) which in turn took her to Valentine Z’s Earth and specifically at Singapore in one fine afternoon. At that moment, she along with General Valentijn, was struck with a nuclear bomb, and unfortunately, Clarissa was separated from Valentine as a result of the blast. She managed to survive with 86,3% structural integrity when she radioed in and subsequently founded by the recovery team.

From this point onwards, she quickly gained the trust of the people around her. General Valentijn made her a valuable ally and a friend in planning for the future of the nation, right alongside Foresittend (President) Marcus. Though, they are still uncertain on whether Clarissa will work along with them, or bring about their extinction by executing an android hostile takeover. She currently has a piece of Valentine Z entrusted with her to control and develop into another state known as Alanis Star. At the same time, she still provides Valentijn with computational assistance and anything related to information technology. So far, everyone that talked to her agrees that Clarissa is nice and approachable to have a conversation with.

Even though we don't exactly go into offensive or invasive wars, Valentine Z still makes sure that their world is protected, and what better way to protect and RP the possible military shenanigans using several inspirations from games such as Overwatch, Team Fortress, LoL, and perhaps many, many more?

Possibly the biggest and most ambitious project I have done so far in terms of worldbuilding and featuring 60+1 characters, there are buffs, nerfs, updates, just like you see for actual games.
