Being the dork I am, since the Homestuck thing started I kinda went to town coming up with junk. Cuz I do that. So here's stuff I've come up with for [x], the eventual Duke of Life
Land : The Land of Water and Flight :::::::: There is no dry land, the entire Land covered in ocean. The consorts live in flying cities and ships that fly about at the level of clouds (thought of a possible bit where someone on one of the ships is on the deck when it flies through a cloud and they get soaked). Quest is still in the works, currently set as repairing the relations between two sky empires that are on the verge of war.
Duke of Life abilities Life Split : The duke's and a target's HP and Energy are added together, then divided evenly between them. Can be used to heal teammates by sacrificing his own HP, for example. Probably requires physical contact between Duke and target.
Weapons Dapper Louis : A high tier weapon. Black cane with a silver handle that turns into a black baseball bat. It has the power to knock targets flying through the air. Targets can be comboed by bouncing them off walls.
Bespoke Brand : A high-tier weapon. A cane made of blue-tinted wood with a silver topper. It turns into a silver greatsword with a blue handle and pommel design. Can be 'cranked' to turn the blade red and hot, can heat/burn things, such as lighting the candles on a birthday cake.
Natty Needle : A mid-tier weapon. Rosewood cane with golden topper. Turns into a greatsword with golden hilt/pommel and rosewood grip.
Casual Cudgel : A lower-tier weapon. A thin black cane like those seen on stage with a white topper. Turns into a club with a round protrusion at its peak.
Old Faithful : Second weapon gotten. A standard walking cane made of unidentified wood. Does not transform. This one is black and has flames painted on the bottom. Created by combining Walking Cane with Leather Jacket.
Walking Cane : First weapon gotten. A standard walking cane made of unidentified wood. Does not transform.
*weapons tend to be leveled up by combining them with clothing. **Possible other weapon names : Nifty [x], Snappy [x], Stylish [x]

Lesse, some other notes. Okay. Well I counted my named characters in CoE, and Chronicles has nearly 150 characters. Each with some personality, and most with some backstory. Which just goes to reinforce the point that I am INSANE. Anyway, Jack Henry (from Radia) will now be a CoE character, taking the position of a character named Jack (no last name) who was the main characters' pilot. The old pilot had no characterization beyond that he's a pilot who smokes cigars. On the fanfiction front, I'm torn between working on the Harry Potter fic that a few people want to see, or getting back to work on the pokemon one. Looking at the pokemon one, I remembered that I just adore the three main characters, but then again I've not seen the HP ones interact yet. So anyway, that's happening.
Character Development Spotlight CoE character Nata Ru. She's now one of my favorite characters, but way back when she was just a no-name ninja codenamed 'Nightshade' with no real name given who only appeared for one scene before being killed. Now she's pretty much totally seperate from her roots, having changed appearance, power, species, gotten a backstory and a funny accent, and now she has an actual personality. Her backstory actually influenced the development of a whole city, which now is the source of her funny accent (the people in that city avoid using pronouns whenever possible, seeing it as disrespectful). Just thought that was a fun bit of trivia if I ever get around to writing this trainwreck of a series.

Plumbers RP Notes
Calling a Cleaner allows a player to avoid gaining heat from a hit. If there are no witnesses, a cleaner can remove evidence of a hit to prevent the Lakitus from tracing the murder back to a gang. However, if there were witnesses some heat will still be gained. Cleaners charge by the body, and they can only do so much. For example, a large scale gunfight will be impossible for a cleaner to cover up, and both sides will gain heat.
Heat : Heat is gained as illegal activities are committed by members of a gang. The higher your heat, the more likely it is that Lakitus will show up during your operations and arrest the gang members involved. Heat goes down over time, or as other gangs commit their own crimes. Heat can also be removed by bribing Sgt. Pierce, but he can only do so much.

So I was thinking, what happens if you just grab a pokeball and hold it shut instead of hoping it doesn't pop open? Also, if you crush a pokeball, does the pokemon inside die? And if so, is there a body? Might put these questions in Pokemon M sometime. Clearly I am a bastard.

The Arch unit is an elite group of individuals in an organization called the Order that some of you may remember. The Order began as a group of self-inserts of characters based on me and my friends with little to no explanation for why they existed or what their purpose might be. They were fun characters to play around with, but largely all Mary Sue like characters. Of course, being a story written by me, they were pretty much all slotted to die during one of the stories in the series.
However, they did not stay that way. First up is M of the Order, who was based on me. He remained essentially the same until I got into Warhammer 40k. Getting into things as I do, I created an Inquisitor character who was loosely based on me for purposes of RP. His name was Uriel von Angelus. He was technically a radical inquisitor due to being willing to work with aliens temporarily for purposes which benefited humanity. I liked him, but never did much with him. Then I got into a game called HellMOO (weird as hell game). On there, I played as Uriel for a bit before I eventually changed the character's gender, but kept the name. This character became a character in her own right, but that comes later. For now, Uriel needed a new name because he still existed. Sticking with the archangel naming schema, his new name was Gabriel von Angelus. I eventually decided the last name was a bit ostentatious, so changed it to Gabriel von Arklan. He was a member of a group in the WH40k universe called the Arch, which worked to defend humanity by any means necessary, even those that may be considered illegal/heretical. I eventually imported the group into CoE where Arch became an elite group within the Order and each member had a title named for an archangel. Gabriel became his title, and his name was finally changed to Colter Stone. He is now a relatively amicable man who is seen as essentially the 'face' of Arch due to him being the one who does their business dealings. Seeing as Gabriel was apparently God's messenger in a few writings, it kinda fits.
C of Order was once a character loosely based off of 'Elle. She fenced and laughed a lot, so on and so forth. After the above gender swap which created Uriel, Uriel took over the position of C. She was a bit loud and rude, and was usually quick to resort to short outbursts of violence to solve her problems. As time went on, the character slowly developed more and more to what she is today: a blunt and opinionated woman named Celia Stone with a cyborg arm who has a few bad habits, and who has a reputation for being tough as nails. She is one of Gabriel's daughters rather than friends. The original character and the current one are essentially completely different characters, the only real thing between the two that stayed was C's power to boost herself to high speeds in an instant. Uriel's job in the Arch is that of a guardian. She protects people or things that need protection during transportation. The title kinda fits, too, seeing as Uriel is one of the angels who wields the flaming sword that guards Eden.
A of Order was a character loosely based on Shlee. She was bubbly, a bit airheaded, accident prone, quick to jump to conclusions, and adorably short. The character she became is still cute and a bit short, but that's about where the similarities end. The current character is Azrael of Arch, real name Alicia Rose. The character retained the ability to create force field barriers, but she no longer has the ability to manipulate her density, meaning she can no longer turn herself into a human pinball of death. Alicia is rather quiet and reserved, often trying to disappear into the background rather than participate in conversations. However, when 'activated' by either a psychic trigger or some sort of drug, not sure which, she enters a berserker state in which she becomes very violent, resistant to pain, and able to manipulate her barriers with greater ability. This makes her rather versatile, able to act as a defender or a collateral damage causer.
Characters in the order such as R and D simply vanished with no real replacement. The new Arch members in CoE are all immortals like the old Order, but for different reasons.
Samael of Arch was created for the WH40k Arch organization as the group psyker. Her real name is Amilia Stone, and she is the other daughter of Colter. In CoE she takes more after her father than her sister. Amilia is normally cool and refined, maintaining a very businesslike demeanor even in the face of threats. Like her original WH40k self, she is psychic and focuses more on detecting threats and avoiding them than combat. In hindsight, I might want to swap her and Azrael's titles to make them more accurate to their stations.
Michael of Arch was created for the WH40k version as well, acting as the big fellow in power armor. In CoE his real name is David Borgis. He inherited A's power of density manipulation, and still has his power armor and hammer from his WH40k version. Mostly silent and keeps to himself, so not too much is known about him. Arch uses him as muscle for when they need to go to battle, which also fits with his title as Michael was the name of a warrior angel.
Raphael of Arch was created as the answer in CoE for who Celia and Amilia's mother was. She's a bit blunt and has little patience for nonsense, probably where Celia gets some of her personality. During the time we see Arch in CoE, she has retired and works as a security head on ARK colony. She and Colter are no longer married, but she kept the last name Stone. Take that as you will.
Ezekiel of Arch is only mentioned in my notes a few times, and the character was never fleshed out. In any case, Ezekiel is a healer and probably is the one who puts the other members back together.
Metat was created as the mysterious head of the Arch organization in the WH40k version of the group. At some point he was slotted to be assassinated, throwing the ruling of the group into confusion. In the CoE version, he is now a she, but is still called Lord Metat. She is the reason behind the group's immortality, having the ability to seal souls back into physical bodies. The Arch members are all essentially golems, as the process in which they become immortal involves killing them and then sealing their souls into their bodies. She herself is an immortal, and is the oldest living being on Element as she is one of the original Chosen who just happened to get eternal youth as a secondary ability.

Uriel of Hellmoo - AKA That one person everyone knows. This is how I met Crane, for the record.
Hellmoo is indeed a weird game. Everything we in our normal society see as depraved happens on a daily basis. And in this weird world, we have a lonely figure, in the Corporation of ATI - Uriel. She usually brings much banter to the chat channels, discussing such fine things such as FATAL, DnD shenanigans, completely random stuff, awesome stories and, well, sexhabbing, the worst sin in this world. Many are the tales of this lone figure, standing against the raging hordes of sexhabers.
And as they say, Et cetera.

Is that really what they said about me? I wasn't aware I was a legend for anything more than my storytelling.
