Ask the Archdemons [Q&A]

[Daimonica]

Nobody asked for this, but nobody asked for the Black Death either!

The Seven Archdemons of Daimonica (Sloth, Pride, Lust, Wrath, Greed, Envy, and Gluttony) will now be answering questions from curious mortals (or fellow immortals) who don't mind tempting fate. You'd be wise a fool to pass this up. You may direct your inquiries to any Archdemon you like, multiple Archdemons, or even all of them but please specify to whom you're directing your questions to beforehand.

Rules

• Keep it PG-13 at most
• Abide by NS rules
• IC questions only please, OOC ones can be sent via telegram - I don't mind

Though not required, it is HIGHLY recommend you brush up on the Archdemons to whom you'll be directing your questions by reading their collective factbook.

@Greed, it sounds like you have quite a lot of loot! What do you say about a challenge from ME and my gang showing up for a little challenge? My gang, of course, has a properly-respectable name. Have you ever heard of The Decepticon Military? Don't let its name fool you. Mine is the biggest raid gang in the Empire. YOU sound like you might be a worthy opponent, unlike the mere peasants we usually raid from. ~Leader Megatron

@Gluttony, are you the jerk who messed with my Food Enjoyment Code without upgrading my old body's infrastructure to deal with the results?! Debugging had a hell of a time correcting that code when I was ported to my machine body. It also caused me some glitches as a biological! ~General Carjack

@Envy, always being jealous of everybody must corrode your mind and constantly irk you. How about you just fix that situation by making yourself better? My solution is simple: You tell me who you want to be better than, and I build you a body that makes it possible. My name is Ultimate, and I'm the owner of the Ultimate Mod Shop. I can build you a form that's sleeker, faster, more beautiful, more powerful, has the hardware for extreme intelligence, you name it and it's yours. Starting at 100,000,000 Cubes of Energon Supreme and going up (sometimes WAY up), that is. I deal with people like you all the time. They're my best customers! No matter how much their rivals upgrade, a stop by my business lets them outdo them once again. So, how about you? Will I be seeing you at my shop soon? ~Ultimate, owner of Ultimate Mod Shop

@Sloth, I congratulate you on arriving at the ultimate life-state: Doing nothing but simply enjoying the state of existing! That's really rad, and someday, I'll figure out how to do it all the time, too. Here, have a Cube of Supreme on me. *Hands over a Cube of high-grade Energon* ~ an anonymous admirer

@Wrath, we hear that you kick a lot of ass! So do we!! Isn't the ability to destroy every enemy the greatest thing ever?! Nothing else really matters when you can just STOMP everyone who disagrees with you or pisses you off into the dirt! ~The Decepticon Military, cosigned by pretty much every Decepticon ever

Who the heck is calling all of these guys "demons?!" Most of them seem like fine, upstanding Decepticons-in-Spirit. The only one we don't approve of is Envy. Envy should just upgrade so he's better than everyone else. All of the others are either enjoyable or useful in some way or another...~The Bureau of Propaganda

"Why is sloth a demon? I've never seen anyone hurt by it."
- Grand Duke Herman XIII

"At first glance it may seem that way, but trust me when I say that Sloth is far more dangerous then he seems. While he slumbers he is in a constant state of mind in which he subconsciously subjects his will upon the mortal realm without the need for servants or underlings, all without even trying to. It is actually quite humorous how much he can get done by doing absolutely nothing at all. It may seem like he causes no harm and is utterly harmless, but this is far from the case I assure you. The negative aspects of his influence on mortals is much less pronounced than the rest of ours, indeed, but it is no less potent. Laziness is more harmful than many may realize. How many things should you have done, but didn't? How many things were you supposed to do, but ignored? How much work and effort have you tried to avoid in order to goof off and play around? But most importantly: how is it affected you or others? When you think about it, lack of productivity can be quite disastrous for a person, a community, even an entire country. Sloth plays the long con well, disrupting people's lives not at an instant but over an extended period of time. It can take quite a long time for a slothful person to suffer from their own inaction, or it cannot. Ultimately one should not underestimate the negative influence Sloth has exerted upon the world, for there are a great many dreadful things that could have been avoided had someone - just one person - bothered to care enough to stop it."

"Ooo, a challenge! I love competition! But ah, I'm afraid it wouldn't be fair, you see. One little zap from my fingers and your entire army would shut down in an instant! To be quite honest, mortals have a far better chance than sentient machines do of stealing from my hoard - though not by much, admittedly. Believe it or not I also believe in 'Honor Amongst Thieves' as well, and I make it a point to try and not rival with my fellow burglars and pirates.

How about a different wager? My Gilded Legion against your Decepticon Military to see who can gather the most loot in, say, a century? I realize that's a rather short time, but I'm a bit impatient as it so happens."
- Archdemon Greed

@Gluttony, are you the jerk who messed with my Food Enjoyment Code without upgrading my old body's infrastructure to deal with the results?! Debugging had a hell of a time correcting that code when I was ported to my machine body. It also caused me some glitches as a biological! ~General Carjack

"That depends on whether I can eat it or not. If I can, I might have. If not, probably not. To be honest I don't do much other than eat things my servants bring me. The curse of a bottomless stomach, I guess. Whatever, it all tastes good to me!"
- Archdemon Gluttony

"That sounds... too good to be true... no! It's a trick! Who put you up to this!? You think I can't make myself better!? That I don't have that kinda power!? YOU THINK YOU'RE BETTER THAN ME!? YOU'RE NOT! I KNOW YOUR GAMES! I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE UP TOO - YOU CAN'T TRICK ME!"
- Archdemon Envy

@Sloth, I congratulate you on arriving at the ultimate life-state: Doing nothing but simply enjoying the state of existing!

"When you perceive time like we do you'll find that multitasking is incredibly easy.

"1. No. First off, you'd never be able to 'force' any of us to do anything. You'd be smitten if you even tried to approach one of us with malevolent intentions, whether by us or our minions. Secondly, only direct intervention by a truly higher power could ever hope to even come close to 'killing' one of us, which still isn't as easy as it sounds.

2. We're not Hell, and no, it doesn't snow here. It is very cold, though."

"Heh... you haven't seen our bad sides yet. Well, except maybe Wrath, but he only has a bad side. Calling us 'living' isn't entirely accurate either. See, we were here before life. Kinda begs the question of if something that existed before life itself can even be considered truly 'alive', hm?"

We do not "imitate" life. We are the Production version of it, while those measly biologicals you refer to as "mortals" are merely the beta versions whose time has come and gone. As sapient machines, we are the Ultimate Lifeforms, for we do not die of age, are not weak, and are not limited by obsolete design specifications. Mere biologicals can't expand their processing power, or even their physical power, beyond the limits of their tiny, fragile forms. WE, on the other hand, can and do control our own engineering and can easily overcome all physical barriers. Of course, our practice of building ourselves bigger to make room for upgrades also gives us a tremendous military advantage over biologicals - hence our ability to raid, genocide, and enslave the vast majority of them at our whim.

So - just where do you get off trying to say that we are "below" these beta creatures that we routinely enslave, step on, and otherwise dominate in every material way?! ~The Bureau of Impossible Physics - the premier government scientific bureau and the engineers of the physical specifications of the standard Decepticon body

"Lower than pathetic mortals!?" Did we hear that right? This guy thinks our slaves are superior to US?! He must be coded out of glitches! Hey, Wrath, we dare you to come to Planet Cybertron and say THAT! ~The Paranormal Division of the Decepticon Military

"Oh, that would be me. Wrath may arguably be the strongest of us all, but he's terribly blunt, direct, and unsubtle. You'll see him coming before he's even out the door. But me? No, you won't see me coming at all. Why? Because in all likelihood I'm probably already there and you haven't even realized it yet, and out of all of us I'm probably the only one you can't prepare for. My eyes and ears are everywhere, my plots always in motion, my schemes always coming into fruition. When I am on the board my defeats are my victories, while your victories are your defeats. To be quite honest, no one is safe from my reach. But out of keeping things interesting, I like to let some people think they are. I like to play with my food a bit before I eat it simply because I can afford to.

That's what really makes me terrifying, see. I am an unknown variable who can turn your greatest victories into your most devastating defeats, and odds are everything you've done or will do I've already predicted or even had a hand in making come true. I don't just orchestrate the death of people, I can orchestrate their birth, their career, their marriage, their entire life even. Why, who knows... maybe I even orchestrated yours?

You can't stop that which you cannot predict."

In his mind he is perfect, and in his reasoning he should not have to make himself better when he can instead make others worse. Were it not for my constant intervention, he might have succeeded. He might be maddened, but he's no fool. He is much more powerful than some might give him credit for."

I prefer to make people feel good, but if you get on my bad side, I can make them feel very bad as well."

- Yeruslan Cherkosky

"Good questions! I knew you wouldn't disappoint! Now... I don't like to spoiler my own plans, that tends to be counter-productive, but I suppose I can try and humor you a bit.

'What is the final goal'? Well, I'd rather not reveal too much, but the gist of it is... chaos, disorder, discord, lawlessness, madness, anarchy - call it whatever you wish, but it's all the same in the end. That much I can tell you. Just don't ask why, that's a secret even you can't discern! Don't feel bad, though - Adam and Eve weren't the first to eat from that tree.

'If the game is rigged, why keep playing it'? Another excellent question, with a surprisingly mundane answer! The love of the game, of course! I am nothing if not a sucker for a good game, which is why I try to play fair when I can. The game is rigged, certainly, but that doesn't mean everything about it is - just what needs to be. Technically speaking the game could have ended a long time ago, but where's the fun in that? No, no, no, the longer it goes on - the more interesting it gets!

'Why not end it'? Well, as I said, it's more fun to keep it going. Besides that, the universe is not infinite and it will eventually come to an end. When the universe ends, the game ends. Fortunately for me, there are other universes where I can start new games and the cycle will repeat itself again until once more existence returns to state of total darkness and there are no boards left to play the game on.

As I eluded to you earlier, I've had already a bite of the fruit myself. Tempting though it may be to accept a second bite, I have no desire for one. But I am tempted to give you a glimpse of the future I've devised anyway, simply because you might one of the few beings who deserves as much. Very well. If you want to see what I have planned, I can show you - but again, I can't show you why. After all it's not very wise to show your entire hand, now is it?"
