Maybe FFRP God sent Dexington here for a reason...
Anywho, no one answered my question a long time ago. Since Jason's dad is Hades, god of death, is it suitable for Jason to disco/boogey down?

they banished him for killing people. His kids will still be born, though.

Yeah, OK.

But what about Greg and Mike?

I'll assume Mike dies of not being able to take care of himself in insanity, and I'll NPC Greg. Ashley and Emma will be hyper sad.

Oh dear lord, he's got ADHD and ADD? :smalleek:

we are dealing with the spaz to end all spazs

[bvdk99]

Right, no funeral for Jacob or Sasha, but a funeral for the insane murderer who killed them? If anything, have a three way funeral.

[Creed]

We should have a funeral for Mike, we never have real funerals...

It's only right to have a funeral for Mike. He was the son of zeus, after all. Zeus might smite us if we didn't morn his death.:smallwink: Isn't that right, WP?

Huh? No...he has a little bit of ADD...

ADD none the less.

It's also a funeral for Yeti.

their brains are hard-wired for reading ancient greek. as a result, when a half-blood looks at ancient greek it appears to be in english. cool huh?

[bvdk99]

It's in the books: They have ADHD because they are born with battle reflexes, and they have dyslexia because their brains are "hard-wired" to read ancient greek.

I changed my mind anyway.

Alright, so for my fifth character... perhaps an old man? Oh, I have this:
An 90-year-old son of Ares who fought in WWI and WWII, who is retiring at CHB. He's as good at armed fighting as Mike was at unarmed fighting, and is an absolute wizard with a bastard sword. Also, he would be in the same room as the other Ares kids, which should be... interesting.

[Zexion]

Name: Kenneth Riley
Age: 97
Height: 5' 5"
Weight: approx. 140 lbs.
Birthdate: August 1st
Parent: Ares
Affiliation: Olympians

Appearance: Thin, but very strong. Has dark gray hair, and very sharp features. Always has an ornate sword scabbard, with a razor-sharp bastard sword inside.

Description: Kind. He detests the Ares children that he calls "sword-happy morons". Never starts fights, but always finishes them. Sees it as his duty to make sure the children have a happy camp experience. He is NOT A PEDO.

History: Kenneth fought in both WWI and WWII, and was a major part of the outcome of both. Now, at age 97, he has retired at his old training camp, Camp Half-Blood.
How's this?

[CrimsonAngel]

No. :smallconfused:

How's this?

How does he still carry a big sword if he's really old? And why is he more like a son of Athena than a son of Ares?

[bvdk99]

Wait, we're allowed 5 characters? Damn, I have an urge to make a 5th one... maybe some other time...

[CrimsonAngel]

How does he still carry a big sword if he's really old? And why is he more like a son of Athena than a son of Ares?

Because he's Zexion's character.

[Zexion]

Because he's very strong, even through he's old. Think of him as a sort of retired grandpa, who was in both wars, and came home with a couple hundred medals. And he fights with a bastard sword, which is Ares-like. Also, I'm trying to get across the idea that even though he's old, he's still one of the best fighters at Camp, because he's had eight decades of training.

[IcemanJRC]

Because he's Zexion's character.

Ah, is funny because is true!

I'm going to have Aaron find you drinking. I'm also going to try and get him to drink with it being in his character. Maybe because of his uselessness without arms.

But if he's 97 then he's going to be lucky to be able to still walk. And Bastard swords are really heavy. They weigh over 20lbs. If he's 97 he shouldn't be able to lift the thing. And...why would he come back to camp to train people to fight if he hates "Sword-brained idiot"?

I have a 94 year old great-uncle who is extremely fit, works out all the time, and he is extremely strong. So, don't talk about "old."
Also, this is an FFRP. Physics go out the window.
For coming back to train, he's not back to train people how to fight. He's back because monsters chase him everywhere else, and he wants a peaceful retirement.

That has nothing to do with whether an old man can be fit.

What does have to do with an old man being fit is what shape his body is in. And for that, we have Biology, since the body gets weaker, since the cells can only replace themselves so many times.

Physics is about the General Thoery of Relativity, Elementary Particles, the Grand Unifying Theory, etc.

Four reasons:
1) He's been training for over eight decades.
2) This is an FFRP, and you have a lot of freedom in making your characters.
3) He's the son of Ares, and with that divine blood, his life may well be extended, and his cell decay rate be slowed.
4) He was a major part of many battles, and Ares would likely grant him a long and happy retirement for his services.

Science that we have observed. (Well, mostly.)

Anti-Gravity? Not yet.

They can't make balls levitate.

They can make directed-energy weapons, sure, but not little flying baaaallllllls that turn into living rooms and have nanofibers (I hate you) in them.

But Anti Gravity, as a practical...ok, here's the kiddy text. Yes Anti Gravity theory exists. but the actual devises don't. Anywhere.

This last statement of finality is debatable, the presence of extraterrestrial lifeforms and their levels of technology and natural adaptations are, as of yet, completely unknown to the puplic and, under all liklyhood, the government of any country.

Sigh....we have to use aliens to disprove some one?

[Maximum Zersk]

Sigh....we have to use aliens to disprove some one?

Yep.

I mean, if they've made it all the way to Earth, they should have some Anti-Gravity.

Or as I think is more realistic, Magnetic Propulsion.

But we already have that...

Anti-Gravity it is!

Actually it's fun. Let me jump on the bandwagon;



I'm an easily manipulated person, so I always figured the logic behind it was the logic for many of my items in D&D: Magic + Technology makes awesome technology. I had a tree, Ares and Kronos destroy them as they got out of hand though.

So, WP, would this be the wrong time to ask for Jeparo to get a mechanical arm? He needs a new arm anyways.

[IcemanJRC]

I offered a valid argument, you gave the statement that anti-gravity devices existed in no environment in existance right now. That is not necesarrily true because of our ignorance to any other lifeforms present in existance.

OH HEY THIS IS HONESTLY NOT A STUPID IDEA... YET. If it's pretty much just a normal arm, but maybe with a few compartments inside to hold pop tarts and cheetos, I wouldn't get fascist about it.

That was awesome in every way.

Let's say there's such thing as a Graviton. Now, since that would be an elementary particle, would there not be an anti-particle of that? If we could harness this "Anti-Graviton", we would have anti gravity.

Although the sheer amount of Anti-matter needed to do that would be crazy.

Go antimatter! That's what Jeppy's mechanical arm is going to be powered by now.

[waterpenguin43]

My decision as for arm:

Okay, so long as you don't get all Masked Man about it.
http://wiimedia.ign.com/wii/image/article/847/847708/super-smash-bros-brawl-20080125113350860.jpg

Is NOT okay.

[Maximum Zersk]

Anti-matters not that easy to create.

You know CERN lab's? You'd need something that big to make a bit of it.

And I don't think Haphaestus's cabin will help you now.

Uh... I don't get the reference. I would assume that the arm is slightly stronger, is more dexterous, but other than that, NO SPECIAL ABILITIES. Except maybe a slot for him to put his glaives into, but other than that.

[Beans]

Aileen, by the way, learned a lot of her techiness from a bunch of Hep kids she lived with her whole life before coming here. 16 years with them makes her tech-savviness believable, I think.

@ Zexion: OH GODS FINALLY.

Mother 3 reference, I take it?

Sounds good. And yes, Maximum, it WAS a Mother 3 reference. The picture would have been a giveaway if you looked. :smalltongue:

No children of Ra. He's in the solar barge 24/7, and doesn't have time to have kids. Make him a son Horus; that's where most of the jocks are.

It has something to do with the fact that I have spent to much time, energy and put to much of myself into my characters to be willing to just leave. To that end, I have made this third name, to beg Roland to let me at least take my ban from permanent to a timed ban. I expect that this name will get banned soon. I just wanted to say that I love you all and thank you for your support. If the mods refuse to let me come back I will take this to the Giant if I have to, and if he refuses to let me come back I will send word through Beans where I will begin posting on whatever new site I can find.


Love XtheYeti.

[FireFox]

XtheYeti got banned for a reason. Any alternate accounts he chooses to make to get around that are also subject to that ban. Yeah, there you go... :smallsigh:
But I don't want to talk about that.
What I want to talk about, is how cool what you guys are doing here is. I just finished reading the series, but I don't think I'll be joining you. I take Greek mythology too seriously and don't want to run the risk of my pedantic behavior ruining your fun. :smallsmile:

Sheriff of Moddingham: Please don't encourage or facilitate a banned poster in returning. The road to being banned is typically a long one with numerous warnings and infractions. By the time someone is banned they've had plenty of warning about what is expected and what not to post here. I'm not going to specifically air publicly what anyone poster did, but be assured that we do not ban posters lightly or hastily (except, of course, spammers and those that commit Instant Banning offenses).

Once we've had to take the step of banning someone, it's our intention that that be the end of it. In fact, our Forum Rules prohibit continuing to discuss banned posters.

Please drop the discussion of XtheYeti and, if you are so inclined, report any new accounts that he returns with.


Forum Rules:

Protesting Bannings/Glorifying or Discussing Banned Posters: We value our posters, and take care only to ban posters who commit egregious or repeated violations of our Rules. Once that action is taken, though, it is an Inappropriate topic to discuss, glorify, or memorialize banned posters or their rules violations. We have found in the past that such displays are disruptive to the community. If you have a concern regarding a banned poster, we ask that you send a PM to Roland St. Jude, the board guru for these forums.

Previously Banned Users
Any user found to have been banned while using a different account will have his or her new account banned as well. If it is found that another user is allowing a previously banned user to post using his or her account, the account of that user will also be banned.
