He's pretty much doing it because he's bored, yeah. That, and because it's a tradition of sorts for him (a tradition created in order to keep him from thinking about his own plight, so, in essence, it all goes back to being bored I suppose). I'll probably delve deeper into his thoughts at some other point, I have a bit of a speech in time already. But as far as the Christmas thing goes, boredom, yeah.
The soul was more or less a reference to Otis' mother, who went and got killed after being brought back for Christmas. I can always just pretend it's someone else if there's a problem though. -shrug- doesn't really matter, it was just to show a bit more of him.
Can you blame her for being a little bit arrogant? At least she's not comic-book-character level arrogant,

In my opinion, it could've used a little more detail at certain parts, such as the arrival to Cairo, but I guess that's passable if Frank's the kind of person not to care about his surroundings and such, given the first person perspective.
That said, I echo Star's thoughts for the most part. I also enjoy the dynamic between Frank and Itaku, and the bit of envy at the start of the post.Galnius wrote:I missed so much....
Hey there.
Don't worry, that's the thing about IJ, you can just jump back in.

Oh.
That makes sense, I just forgot about that.
No, I don't blame her, I just found it to be pretty funny.

He took some liberty and interpreted the Morningstar Equation as an energy pentagram of some sort, but I think it looks pretty sick regardless.

Also Rebel, fucking incredible post as usual. This is a very different Daniel Carter to the one the other Gravity knew. It's kind of sad, actually. One refused to kill, the other sees it as necessary.

Zarkenis Ultima wrote:Name/Alias: Black Sun
Gender: Female
Age: Biologically 16, chronologically several million.
Appearance: Here
Species: Artisan Cyborg
Backstory: Black Sun was the very first of the six organic beings rounded up and sent to Iligath the Maker by his people, the Artisans, in order to be transformed into powerful living weapons capable of driving back the enemy coalition and end the crisis of the Artisan Empire. Black Sun was the prototype of the other five Artisan Cyborgs, destined to be an emotionless killing machine. However, due to some unknown mistake made by the Maker, the girl somehow retained her childish demeanor, even after her upgrade, and for unknown reasons began calling Iligath her 'father' and treating him as such. It was a troubling setback at first, but soon, Iligath realized that, despite his weapon's behavior, she retained all of her upgrades and the intelligence that was given to her. The matter of her loyalty was easily settled, as the devotion she had for her father made it unlikely that she would refuse to follow his orders. Thus, the first daughter of the Maker was born.
Black Sun, alongside Black Nova and Black Hole, fought and defeated the coalition that was storming the gates of the Artisan Empire, accomplishing her mission with remarkable ease, as despite being the first of the cyborgs and thus the weakest, she was the one who could use her powers most effectively; this, coupled with her use of the Great Viridian Sword of the Splitting Constellation, a superweapon gifted to her by her father Iligath, made her a formidable foe. Despite their success, though, they were soon deactivated when the Maker was shunned by the elders who feared his ambitions. She remained deactivated until Iligath broke into their containment and brought them with him to the Technosanctum, using them as guards while he created three more cyborgs to claim revenge. In the end, revenge was had, though it horrified him, and so, the Maker took all of his cyborgs and sealed himself. Millions of years passed before the six would awaken once again, and when they did, the three cyborgs of the second generation sought to murder Iligath. Only Black Sun stood before them, but her power was nothing compared to theirs, and so, she was left maimed within the ruins of the Technosanctum, and was saved only by the intervention of Black Nova. Now, she seeks to grow stronger and avenge the death of her father, all while exploring the universe.
Powers and Abilities:
Solar Manipulation: Black Sun has the power to generate and control theoretically infinite quantities of solar energy, much like what Black Nova can do with electricity and pure energy. This power is also similar to her sister's in that most of it is locked away behind her higher modes.
Sequence Shift Protocol: Much like Black Nova, Black Sun can enter a more powerful state at will, though unlike her sister, she isn't limited to one, having three modes in addition to her default one, each more powerful than the last.
Enhanced Senses
Flight
Self-Repair
Weaknesses: A good part of what makes her threatening would be the Great Viridian Sword, which can be taken from her with relative ease, leaving her at a level far from exceptional compared to other characters. In addition, should she desire to change to a more powerful mode, there is a charging time during which she is more vulnerable. If her earpieces are damaged, her senses might overload, much like Black Nova's.
Destructive Capacity:
Normal Mode: Moon Level
Speed:
Normal Mode: Hypersonic
Durability:
Normal Mode: City Block Level
Lifting Strength:
Normal Mode: Peak Human
Striking Strength:
Normal Mode: Class H
Energy Projection: Refer to Destructive Capacity.
Standard Equipment: Her mechanical parts and the Great Viridian Sword of the Splitting Constellation.
Intelligence: She's considered to be even smarter than Black Nova, and is in fact the smartest of all the Artisan Cyborgs.
Optional stuff.
Theme song: To be added.
Random Facts about your character: Further power levels will be added as her transformations are revealed in the IC (and submitted for peer approval if need be).
Here's an app for Black Nova's sister, who has been interacting with Hiroshi for a while now. Probably won't use her except in personal arcs unless someone wants to interact, but there she is.

Also did you guys know getting a map painted costs 500 dollars?
