In your opinion, it is fact. I however, disagree.

Thus, like I said, I refuse to turn this RP into a political debate. If for the purposes of the RP we need a functioning communist or libertarian state, then it shall exist. People breathe fire and see dead people in this RP, so we're not exactly concerned with reality here.

While reading through the old OOC thread I found an app for Omega,,,,

Name: Captain Michael Hammer, codename Omega.

Age: 27

Power: Energy projection, he is able to create and manipulate a form of pure energy to achieve a variety of effects; Energy blasts, forcefields, flight etc. His supply of energy isn't unlimited though, using a lot of it at once means that he'll have to fall back on his more conventional methods of inflicting bodily harm while his supply replenishes. Also, being able to manipulate energy does little good if one happens to get in the way of a metal slug traveling at high speed, so he still has to be careful when entering combat situations.
He is also adept at armed and unarmed combat, having been trained by the army.

Background: The only son of General Jack Hammer, Michael grew up in a home where patriotism and discipline were valued highly. Therefore it came as a surprise to no one when he joined the armed forces as soon as they would take him. Despite his enthusiasm he proved to be less capable than expected, which never ceased to disappoint his father. He was headed for an unimportant post guarding some backwater no one cared about when his powers first manifested, which changed everything for him.
The government now saw him as a valuable resource, a patriot with superpowers who wanted nothing more than to serve his country. He was immediately placed in special training to hone his skills and metahuman abilities. Five years later his trainers considered him to be as good as they could make him, and it seemed that Londim would get a new poster boy for their superhuman recruitment efforts, a purebred patriot to smash their enemies and smile at the cameras. But less than a year later they reconsidered their stance on superhumans, deeming them dangerous and needing to be controlled.
Michael, ever the patriot, didn't oppose the government's new directive that all superhumans who didn't willingly surrender themselves needed to be put down or captured. So he became one of the supers who hunted supers, all from a twisted sense of duty towards a government that had never done anything for him.

Current Situation: He is currently leading a small task force, Omega Squad, in the hunt for superhumans. He is still a disappointment to his father.

Indeed...

More odd ideas that cropped up, this one by me:

You what could be cool. If the evaluation of Reznov by merdad (Mentar) has him fired or something and they need a new leader. My guy could fill in the spot. Or something. Just a thought.


The early days of FOG1 were an odd place indeed.

The original council

We made a Council to vote on issues. It's me, AU, Alby, Quid, and Esc.


Aggy wrote:Either the OP decides everything, or we all decide everything. Pick one.


And the early asshole that was Arcad replies:

Arcad wrote:The Council decides. We take a vote. You're just jealous, because you weren't on when we made the Council. You can't change it.


He continues to be an asshole to which Aggy replies

Aggy wrote:I'm glad you're still rational, unlike Arcad overthere.

Anyway, I can't remember the OP explicitly giving this 'council' any authority over the roleplay, and frankly I don't even care anymore at this point. The thing is, I am not going to participate any longer in a roleplay where Arcad is authorized to make decisions affecting the entire roleplay. His incompetence has been shown during our little clash here.

Earth Sphere Coalition, I hope this roleplay will still be enjoyable to you.

Arcad, welcome to my blacklist.

Have fun.

... I still miss Pip... D:

And I still remember how that Wind controller Warhaven made created a HYPERCANE... you know... the hypothetical storm about half the size of the US with a windspeed of about... 500mph... Nooo one batted an eye

Though I am proud to announce that I and Chaos believe we have far and away one upped the dick Arcad ever was :P

Which one is the dickiest Council member?... um... *looks back and forth and jumps out the nearest window*

I'd assume so:

Agadar and I tged and we wont be continuing the spectre raid due to the act coming to a close: it served its purpose to show spectre wiping out roman naval assets and the Pope's mad gamble.
