@fseftr: Oh yeah, sorry. In order to update the tvtropes session I need at least 35 uninterrupted minutes to do the main body of the update, and at least another 15 uninterrupted minutes to finish things up, preferably within the same time period, yesterday I did not get such an opportunity, so I shall update it today.

@erelye: Its mostly because that's where Eric decided to meet up with Eternis. Its for both privacy and protection, because Eric was worried about something (like Tricky) being sent by piono to attack him again, and needed a place to meet up at where Eternis could keep such a thing off everyone's backs for long enough to get things figured out. Three things helped him narrow down the location, he decided to do it in the void, because then it would be less likely that random people would show up and interfere, then a fourth wall because he's planning a short demonstration. That particular fourth wall because its close enough to where Vriska is that he'll have time to set up communication nodes in case something goes wrong where she, the other trolls and the four kids are.

Yes, that seems logical.

Heh, I keep missing large areas of discussion...

Well, in case ya didn't notice, I deliberately use a slightly under educated/hillbilly seemin' set of mannerisms, to a varying degree depending on the subcharacter. And also my sub-subcharacter stuffs, like Redeyes usually talking like some kind of low fantasy religious fanatic. And H3, obviously.

Hmm... Well, the main "quirk" of how my characters speak is pretty obvious. Besides that though, they speak pretty normally, though they might not get all the terms in DTG's "ancient society."

Oh, I don't think I've said this before, but Blue's universe (Not literally) is an alternate of Universe C. I mean it'd have to be for Blue to be "human", but it might not have been as obvious to you. Blue actually comes from the Milky Way, if not "our" milky way. Also because I'm lazy, they basically speak modern English.

I try to make my main characters seem like the eccentric scholar sort of people, or at least Kalare. (I like how nobody has actually read my backstory, and are therefore not realizing that you all call Erelye his surname. Hah.) I would like to think he is quite intelligent, but I would have to ask you guys about that, as I cannot state anything of the sort without receiving input. Obviously, Erelye comes from U4, is an elf, and happens to be trilingual, speaking English, Quenya, and the eldritch tongue. That is about it. You would have to read my extensive backstory to get any more information.

Fseftr, which sidequest, specifically?

Yeah, I did read part of your backstory, but kinda missed a great deal with my unevenly limited time to read such things.

And you do a pretty good job of the eccentric scholar.

As for Blue, well, I, again, missed a massive portion of that story, if, admittedly, I only got the recent part rather than the old bit.

Thank you. Both for the compliment, and for actually reading part of my very long, very bland, and [mostly] unoriginal story.

The thing with my backstory is that I was very limited on time during Act 1, and therefore skipped from entry to fighting the Black King. Now, I am making the other characters explain what occurred within the gap in nice little flashbacks inside of my flashback. I think I am going to get to the fate of the Archagent tonight, I explained the bit about the Prospit and Derse dreamers fighting against each other, Virnul and myself assassinating the White Queen, and the requests of the Denizens. Overall, I may be somewhat finished by the closing of next week, if my mind is able to produce ideas at a constant rate.

To be honest, I only do this because I find it fun.

Oh, and Twin? Just a question: do inventive 1-post attacks, alchemies, or Battle Techniques grant the most experience?

Of course.

Welp, it looks like I'm going to abandon the quirk on advice of the GM. It was slightly annoying, I will admit, but it was a very good, non-puzzling quirk. All credit to Maniac for the inspiration in the 'L()rd.'

I'll keep the posts quirk free. If I wind up in direct dialouge, something else I think up of might crop up instead.

Hey guys, those Uberghasts are awfully close to that Ozma. Maybe we should do something about that. We do have these armies.

it should. i just used my battle technique 2 turns ago.

Well, I certainly understand finding the creation of a backstory fun. I sure wouldn't have one otherwise.

By the sound of it, I'll be needing to step up my game on one shot attack spam... H3h.

Actually, on that note, I actually would find it easier to do so if I had some kind of renameable/mutably named battle technique... Possibly ".execute"? As in, BATTLE TECHNIQUE; .execute: "Insert imagination here"

I agree. I'll shift priorities on the Army of Choice towards Roland. With one dead, It'll alleviate the defense problem they create as well, so we can destroy those pesky PG entities quicker.

don't worry, ill counter that summon with something equal to it...

Hopefully.

I tend to have my characters be very self absorbed and reflective, focused on what they feel they need to do and their "purpose." I try to make them educated, emotional, and willing to die for others. Oh, and always a bit silly. The anvils just randomly happened, I'm not sure why I keep doing it.
Kalare/Erelye, I really like you story, but I haven't been able to read all of it, so at some point I'm going to try to read all of DTG to get all of it.

My characters are usually brilliant at one thing but rubbish at most other things. That, or they serve the function of the Only Sane Man.

I'm glad you liked the L()rd, Tazz. I actually thought of him a couple days before I introduced him.

You see, I've been planning True Maniac since the beginning. However, I didn't know HOW I would become True Maniac. So, I invented him.

By the way, now that OBLIVION is almost here, the L()rd is not getting anymore appearences. ... Well maybe one or two.

The archetype I'm using is that of the heretic engineer, basically a mad scientist with some changes, such as generalized scorn of, and belief in, the Gods, and a somewhat different attitude towards science for its own sake, ethics, and other such details. Also, at least in this case, there's some degree of "Man in the Machine" and "Secretly Dying" going on, since beyond a certain number of orders of magnitude beyond the standard lethal dose of myriad radiation types, there's little that can be done beyond temporary life support.

I really liked your story too Amperz4nd, but I feel like I have no idea whats going on with you.
Also, a couple fun facts, I've created 5 characters total, and 3 of them were discarded due to my inactivity and story developments. The person I joined as before the scratch has not been used since; I'm not really sure what to do with him.
