I have to challenge myself in different ways to make it more interesting. The last time I played, I tried to complete everything on hard mode without dying. (Didn't work though, lol.)
If I could choose, my Nobody name would be Xardius, hands down.
You want good RPers, check out the Ultimate Organization and its ensuing threads. The guys there (Jaxed, Nulix, Wing, Star_Seeker, Hidden_Light, Xephos, DarKnight36, etc.) are the best there is EVER. No competition. (I only included myself because I'm in the UO).
I have two. Name: Xardius Lionheart HP: About 15,000 or 30 bars Difficulty: Insane, insane, insane! Weapon: Chomper (a massive sword) Music: Otherworld Location: Like Disney Castle in Kingdom Hearts 1, this is a world that hangs suspended and cut off from the others. If it were in the games, it would require that you fight everything on Critical Mode, and I mean everything. When you arrive, you end up in a long grassy plain with a path going through it. Arriving there will show you a large flame-haired man (like Axel's but more vertical) with piercing blue eyes. The man is hugely muscled and he has a massive sword over his back. He's decked out with crimson armor. Go talk to him and a cutscene will occur. Sora: "Uh, excuse me? Do you know where we are?" Man: "What the...? You wouldn't happen to be that young keyblade user would you?" Sora: "What if I am?" Man: "No real reason............" Donald: "So what?" Man: "Hmph, well, it's just that I think you're a pathetic waste of life and should go back and sulk on the Destiny Islands." Sora: "What?" (The man smirks extravagantly and swishes his hair back.) Man: "And you freak shows go back to the circus!" Goofy: "Who do you think you are, talking to us like that?" Sora: "Yeah, I'm a Keyblade Master, y'know?" Man: "Oh, I'm quite aware. Do me a favor. Go away." (End cutscene. Talk to him again to instigate another one.) Man: "Still here? What the heck do you want anyway?" Donald: "That's it! Thunder!" (Thunder zaps the man, who doesn't flinch. The man smirks again.) Man: "Tasty." Sora: "You remind me of someone..." Man: "The name Larxene ring a bell?" Jiminy Cricket: "Wait a sec! That's a member of Organization XIII!" (Sora summons his keyblade.) Sora: "So that's how it is, huh? You're a Nobody!" Man: "You got a Nobody sniffer, or something? I'm warning you: Don't make me mad." Sora: "Is that a threat? I can't remember how many people have threatened us..." Man: "Whatever. Look, kid, don't make me hurt you." Sora: "Bring it on!" Man: "I warned you. Prepare to feel the wrath of Xardius, the Thirsty Blade, the strongest guy in the entire Ultimate Organization!" Sora: "Wait a minute! The Ultimate Organization! What's that?" Xardius: "You're too late!" Info: This is a super-long battle, mainly due to this guy's mega-macho HP meter. Be prepared for a mega-hurting, ultra-fast battle that will take a long time! Xardius will begin the battle by taunting you into attacking him. This part is the easy part. Just whoop him, he won't even attack. After you've whopped out of 3 bars, Xardius will grunt and say, "I think I'm annoyed." He'll whip out his sword, and no matter what you do will hit you fast and furious, and cut your HP done to one. He'll then taunt you again. "How do you like that? Still think I'm a pushover?" For every time you hit him, he'll hit you back from now on, but he won't attack you offensively, until 2 bars later. "Hmph, leave the musclework to me, you lazy bum." Hitting him will only trigger a massive explosion that can take off half of your HP. Suddenly, he'll sweep out Chomper and hit you about fifty times in a row, FAST. You'll end up being in critical on the floor, but it's not over yet. If you don't have any MP, you're toasted, because every hit after this will give you just enough time to heal somehow and then he'll hit you again. Here it comes: fire will blaze around him and fireballs will slam into you. Then he'll crash a firewave at you, followed by a stream of fire, followed by a volcano blast, followed by a firaga spell, followed by a fire pillar, followed by a fire shockwave that blasts through everything, followed by heavy fire punches, followed by a massive fire cyclone, followed by a fire inferno. Xardius will end up back in the same taunting pose as before. Take out another 3 bars and this will repeat. Unfortunately, it doesn't stay this easy. "Mildly annoying," will trigger the non-physical damage score and make him practically invincible, except for magic, of which fire and lightning will only heal him and unleash a counter-offensive that leaves you whining on the floor. After 6 bars of this, Xardius will go inferno-like. Fire will blaze off of him, and getting too close for too long will result in a slow slide towards death. He'll mash into you like a freight train when he chooses, and stalks you. Get too far away and he'll teleport next to you and slam into you unbelievingly fast that will take your HP away. Jump away and he'll hit you with fire. After 3 bars of this, Xardius will unleash a sphere of flame that will keep you close. He'll attack you and mash your reaction commands to end up with no damage. Fail one and you're toasted. (Reaction Command is Block and Dodge.) Xardius will implode the sphere and send you flying, then attack you with successive fire pillars. Reaction commands are now critical. You'll have to hit them just as fast as the end of the Xenmas battle, and then you'll really stake off in interstellar space. "Had enough yet?" Xardius will growl, before unleashing holy justice upon your sorry hide. He'll randomly attack with both his sword and fire, but he'll constantly attack and can only be harmed by magic. This leaves you gasping for breath. Reaction commands will come randomly and only will be there for half a second before disappearing and you getting hit. Xardius continues until like this until his final 4 bars, and then he'll really let loose (oh, yes, he was playing before). You'll constantly be getting damage as Xardius will dive you both into the middle of a raging inferno, quicker than Axel's slow-burning tactic. He'll also attack you with his sword, quicker than before, so reaction commands are the only option. Xardius will end up shooting off a major explosion that he calls: "Chaotic Ultimagum!" This will decimate your HP and MP to zero, and steal all your items, and leave you unable to attack. Xardius will simply walk up and hit you, ending the battle. So, yes there's no way you can win. However, if you survive for that long... Xardius: "You're a bit better than I thought. But you're no match for me. Come back in a few years. Take this and get lost, kid." (Xardius gives you the Phoenix keyblade and the Ultima spell. Phoenix keyblade has the ability of Instant Rebirth, so if you die you come back with full HP and MP. Cool, right? The Ultima spell takes off a specific amount of HP (around 25%), but doesn't work on bosses.) Sora: "What's the Ultimate Organization?" Xardius: "I only give information out to people who can beat me. Which is just about nobody. Ha ha, Nobody, what a pun." End optional boss battle with Xardius. *** Second boss battle: Name: Scourge HP: 16,000 or 331/2 bars Difficulty: Very hard Weapon: Simple sword Location: In the World that Never Was, enter where you fought Saix again. Scourge will be there. Info: Scourge's battle has 8 parts, and each part has 33 and a 1/2 bars in it. Sora: Huh? Man: How unfortunate that you happened to arrive at this exact moment. Sora: Meaning what? Man: You're about to die. (Sora summons his keyblade.) Sora: Oh, really? Man: Meet your Scourge of fire and death. Sora: You wouldn't happen to be related to Xardius, would ya? Scourge: That pathetic weakling. What a laugh. Now die. Phase 1 Scourge will attack you with his katana simply. This is the easiest part. His attacks aren't as strong as Xardius', but he's still quick. He walks rather slowly after you, however. Just beat him down. Sora: That was it? Scourge: Hmph. Just collecting data. Sora: What do you mean? Scourge: Now I know how to destroy you. Phase 2 Scourge's hair will turn red and he'll attack you just about the same way but with fire embodied, leaving a bit of a "burn" after he hits you. Just whoop him again. Scourge: The battle's just begun... Phase 3 Scourge will sprout fire wings and start blazing slightly. He'll attack you with fire magic and a lot of sword attacks. He won't move very fast though, so dodge in and out attacking. Scourge: Arrogant pup. Phase 4 Scourge will raise into the air and turn invincible to magic. In fact, if you're too close, you can't even use magic. Scourge will only attack with fire, in this round. Scourge: Cooked yet? Phase 5 Scourge will grow invincible to all physical attacks and absorbs fire and lightning, like Xardius. He'll attack you with fire-embodied sword tactics that can reach you anywhere. Scourge: Now to really heat things up. Phase 6 Scourge's battle will quickly turn into Xardius, with unending attacks of fire and swordplay. The only way to deal with these is the reaction command Fire Hydrant, which knocks him back for 2 seconds, and takes 5 seconds to recharge. If you survive this... Phase 7 A beam of moon energy will strike Scourge and he'll boost into a massive monster that will attack constantly, and will be invulnerable to all magic. It'll release about 3 Chaotic Ultimagums during this phase, so be mindful. (Xardius all over again, just didn't feel like writing it all over again.) Phase 8 Scourge will unleash everything against you, with Chaotic Ultimagums every 10 seconds, ending with a massive blow that will knock you unconscious for a long enough amount of time for him to trash your HP. He'll suck it off you like a vampire, while hitting you with fire and then he'll terminate the program and blow the castle to bits. Reaction command to break the vampire trick, more to dodge through the raining rubble, and a third to break the fire pattern and stun Scourge for 15 seconds. Scourge will awaken and slash at you repeatedly. Use reaction commands to recover HP and create damage. Finally, Scourge will unleash his final attack: Unlimited Ultimagum, which will end with you on the floor. Scourge will lay stunned until you arise, then he'll stand up. Run to him and hit him, and Scourge will leap out of the window, disappearing into the night... You get the Chaotic Moon keyblade, which has the ability of Chaotic Ultimagum.
OOC: Tomorrow. Gotta go tonight. Sorry.
OOC: I suggest we call it Enigmatic Knights: Sign of Valor, for real.
I'll keep to the short answer: no.
OOC: Um, Lanihead7, we're moving to a new thread, so if you still want to join, wait a bit. I'll PM you when we've decided what to do. And the title is one of the most important parts of the RP! It's what draws you to it, it's what drives you, it's what the whole theme of the RP will be!!!! (Heh heh, I'm going emo.) Depth of Destitution!
After playing through the whole thing several times, it does get rather dull doesn't it? But I do still play it...because it's one of the best RPs out there, and heck, if you wanna bash something, that's the game to do it.
You're absolutely correct. Now look at Rinoa, Tifa, and Garnet. Square-Enix's heroines all look alike, and have the same personality traits, etc. Dumb stereotypes.
Well, if we really want to look at all of Sora's doofus qualities... He's kinda dense, full of testosterone, and has no real skills other than the fact that he can whoop a bunch of Nobodies. However, he is a nice guy, overall. And it's not his fault, in the end. He's just being a stereotypical empathetic hero that everyone's like.
OOC: What monsters? What monsters? There ain't no monsters in EK. Depth of Destitution is better.
OOC: (is still standing here too but not seeing the point of doing so) I vote for the Engimatic Knights: Depth of Destitution.
OOC: Finally! You reply! I've been sitting here, eating fudge, wondering where everybody went! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!
OOC: Um........ Let's hold a wedding for Nulix and Hidden_Light. Oh, wait, a double wedding for Star_Seeker and Wing. And maybe Jordie and Darxess. Let's do it. Now. Before they find out...
Oh....poor Jordie. I promise to never ignore you. At least, I won't ignore you on purpose...'cause I tend to do it on accident...sometimes...to Pirate mainly...and sometimes other people...like everyone...sometimes me...Wait...
OOC: I know...This is really a major scheme to restore the UO... Personally, I need a break from the UO. I just can't stand Xardius anymore, and this is bad, since he's my character! ACK! So, if I play Tera Roth for a while, it'll be an excellent just-kick-back-and-relax thing for me. I would do it on the UO, but I'd still have to be doing Xardius.... You get my drift? This will, hopefully, get some new blood in and our brains moving again. By the time we quit the EK, we'll be so sick of it we'll be begging for the UO!
OOC: Think Tera Roth, big time. Think Alyt, big time. Think Brotherhood, big time. Still don't want to do it?
OOC: Kay, someone else make the thread. Here's some names that me and Pirate came up with... Enigmatic Knights: The Tomorrow Age Enigmatic Knights: Of Men and Monsters Enigmatic Knights: Age of Armageddon Enigmatic Knights: Security Measures Enigmatic Knights: Liberty Enigmatic Knights: Rise of Justice Enigmatic Knights: Sign of Valor Enigmatic Knights: Lost Legacy Enigmatic Knights: Trial and Error Enigmatic Knights: Freedom's Fight Enigmatic Knights: Depth of Destitution Enigmatic Knights: Darkness Below Enigmatic Knights: Kingdom Protectors By the way, I'm gonna bet none of the middle names get chosen because they're in the middle. Har har.
OOC: Oh, wow. Hey, guess what? I've gone back and rewritten some of Book One and am working on the rest. Basically, we're reworking the fanfic and are going to repost it, because our late chapters have been so good (last two mainly). So, they should be really good. Won't come up for a while though. I average about a Chapter a day, and Nulix edits them for another day, and we have a lot of chapters to do... Anyway, I'm going to redo the information threads. I have a statement to make however: Do you guys just want to skip Organization XIV's RP and go straight to the Enigmatic Knights. We can recruit more people than just the ones we have, and the plot will be much better defined. I'm just suggesting this because hardly anyone's posted at all. The plot's not moving at all...It's Destiny of the Forgotten all over again, and this was supposed to kick us out of the mud and into the grass, so to speak. Me and Nul will still, however, write an Organization XIV fanfic...
