I'll also read it, don't fret. And everyone, IC posts are coming soon-ish.

Yes, a very accurate timeline, that.

Done.

That's what I have planned next.

I posted. *nod*

I just skipped over a ton of OOC
Apologies ;A;

Here's what I have so far.

Name: Cuckoo

Age (Actual): Who the heck knows?

Age (Appears): Somewhere in his boyish (and horrifying) middle to late 10's...

Race: Well, if the small vestiges of horns are anything to go by, probably a New Times demon, although it's hard to tell beneath all that grease and rusty metal...

Appearance: Cuckoo was probably a cute little thing once, or at the very least he wasn't entirely vomit-inducingly unpleasant to look at. Nowadays, however, the boy within the steam and clockwork machine is a gruesome sight. His body is so emaciated and twisted by his many years trapped inside this bulky and filthy exoskeleton that it's difficult to see him as anything other than just another one of its mechanisms.

His body is deadly thin, his facial features, though clearly soft once, have become bony and sunken. Most of his skin, at least the parts that are not clothed in soiled torn rags, is coated in slimy grease and dried blood, as well as his long (probably pale brown) hair. His eyes are almost completely black, either because his pupils have become permanently dilated by his life in the darkness of the exoskeleton's interior, or maybe because the grease has seeped into his eyeballs.

His left arm is missing, replaced by a heavy and cumbersome mechanical one with extremely sharp fingertips and the litheness of a drunk rhinoceros playing the fiddle, his right foot lacks three toes, and his left leg seems to have been skinned to the bone in some parts.

On the bright side, his teeth are perfectly aligned and pearly, his lips are not utterly unkissable beneath the grime, grease and blood, and his exoskeleton looks cool enough from the outside to forget that there's a half-dead teenager inside. It's design is reminiscent of an owl, if owls were nine feet tall, had arms with freakishly razor-sharp hands, and were made of steal cogs and steam engines.

Nah, there's been some Batman villains that were even more ridiculous.

Awesome, you mean.

Ridiculously awesome.

Ridiculously awesome.

I was struggling to choose the words to define such a being.

You don't understand, this girl took on Iron Man and Doctor Doom at the same time and won! She beat Wolverine and Deadpool!

That was a surprisingly good explanation of what happens to a cadaver, Swith.

No big deal.

You know, I noticed today that the world of Elfen High and Marvel Comics seem to have quite a lot in common, and not just iron man armour. You have lots of superpowered individuals, some of which form special groups (Elfen High, Faerie University, the Avengers), a big powerful agency that protects the earth (The ISSR, S.H.I.E.L.D), there's beings discriminated against intensely from the way they're born (Demons, mutants in X-Men), the ordinary humans distrusting the metahumans (the general dislike/hatred of Elfen High, the sentiments that led to the supers registration act in the Civil War arc) and even similar characters. I noticed Dunefiend and The Hulk have similarities, as they both have super strength, are incredibly hard, if not nigh impossible to kill, and generally angry when they fight.

Keep this in mind.

Because I am a fucking moron, I'll probably make another spinoff in Auragrad, hopefully one that has more success. This is just so that new people can be eased back in without entering the terrifying and labyrinth-like plot of main EH, while exploring some other concepts I really want to do.

Well, that's just stuff that'd be common in downright everything that played supernatural or magical beings straight.

That's because Marvel - though it has produced some good products (OK, probably about five - which is more than DC can say) - has never been very original.

Fair enough.

Something I've been interested by is how I managed that the lucky sods who manage to pass out of Elfen High usually progress into working in the ISSR, which is the largest supernatural research and military organisation in the world (so that choice of work is only logical).

Regardless, it probably creates an interesting dynamic of sorts between Crowley and Sanchez.

Which is overwhelmed by the fact that they hate each other incredibly.

The students, meanwhile, probably hate them both.

They're in a bad situation. The main other option is Taka-Jameson.

Now, Daisuke is a very good boss.

D violates most laws on employee care and health on an hourly basis.

Yes, but those are interns.

They don't feel pain like we do.

Now, another Auragrad thing will occur. Why, may you ask? Because I'm a fucking dumbass.

We won't do another show thing. That's tiring and didn't work. However, I have a few ideas.

1. We're politicians, or people involved in the political process. Like The Thick of It, really.
2. We're ISSR soldiers/crime fighters.
3. We're students and staff of a school set in Auragrad.
4. If you have more ideas, give them.

Will you be actually active at all? And be serious. Do you have time?

Nightkill the Emperor wrote:4. If you have more ideas, give them.

We're operatives of the Fae, attempting to take the city for evil purposes.
