STOLEN MEME IS STOLEN

Ask anything you ever wanted (or not really sure you wanted) to know about any of my alts, past, present or future, be they currently played on a game (that exists or died) or not.

The Binary I heavily involved myself with as Scarface seems to be very different and certainly more disenfranchised than the one we see today. Is that because he became cynical towards the cause or is this part of a broader paradigm shift in his character?

What does Jeremy think about Scarface, what is his broader outlook in life? I know Jeremy and you too well for you not to have one.

[aandyen]

Tough question.

Really, it's a only a little bit of the former and a lot of the latter. Binary still believes in the cause--reploid freedom in it's various forms, complete equality, individuals who have committed crimes against the reploid people as a whole put on trial--but he's seen the ugly face of the world he's been forced to live in and lost faith. He also didn't like the way the Irregulars were going when Lumine started clawing his way back into power with the former Mavericks, which is what prompted him to assist the ADF along with the promise of a new life. They needed to be stopped before Lumine inherited the power structure that Epsilon had built, and he did what he had to do. It doesn't help that he feels betrayed by them for lying to him (the Mavericks claiming to be the Good Guys way back when he was first rezzed, that sort of thing). Then throw on living through Ragnarok, helping resurrect Hitler, finding out you had (have?) a bomb in your brain, and, well, you have a recipe for a more paranoid and embittered

Those times with the Irregulars were really good. I gotta say, that we as a team of players accomplished something pretty special. The Irregulars were the thinky persons villains.

Which must sound surprising considering how it ended. But the people just meshed well OOCly, the players were brave enough to follow me on my journey and we knitted it all together into something pretty special.

I wouldn't worry about Scarface coming after Jeremy. Scarface has a vivid imagination and like all my characters they can guess quite a bit. Which isn't something I apologize for. Very few people understood Epsilon's will and motivations like Scarface, and in some ways Scarface is still learning about his mentor.

I really liked a lot of the Irregular players and the faction as a whole. We /did/ mesh really well, we had a lot of cool things going, and being villainous was fun without falling into the "murder a bus full of children and nuns" category of things.

OOCly, I'm pretty sure Scarface wouldn't. ICly, Jeremy is kind of paranoid (thank you Jav's alts as a whole). You never know...

How much of Binary's decision to turn on the Mavs was spurned by fear from his captivity, and how much of it was really wanting to STOP THE MADNESS(!)?

And how much of it was Option C?

[aandyen]

In order: Not a small portion, a ton, about the same as the first.

Of fear: Binary was terrified to be locked up again, and though he thought the Irregulars would come from him, he did not know for sure. He was losing his mind being plugged into a sensory simulation of an endless forest without any other information input. So yeah, there was a lot of that.

Of STOPPING THE MADNESS(!): Binary is a good guy at heart, or at least seems to be. He had time to think in there, without being able to distract himself with all kinds of other sources of information. He figured that the old Mavericks were coming back into power, and something needed to be done. The ADF gave him the opportunity.

Of Option C: They offered Binary a new life and a new body. It is not a difficult task to figure why he wanted it when you realize the last time he had a meat-body he was crippled.

What is his retrospective view of the work he did for Siren in particular?

I'd ask about one of your other alts but I don't see enough of Alessandro and Siarnaq has all the potential personality of say, this shrubbery.

[aandyen]

Siren never asked him to do anything but intelligence work (and occasionally the impossible). He regrets helping the Mavericks raid the CIA HQ and enabling them to do a lot of other pretty bad stuff, but he learned a hell of a lot from her, and if it weren't for his encounter with her on Mars recently, he'd still quietly look up to her. And never admit it.

Alessandro will be used a bit more in the future, and Siarnaq has a lot more personality than most think. They just see him as a killbeast because he is usually killing them at the time of meeting.

So what's Morg been doing these days, if anything?

[aandyen]

Morg has been quietly working in his lab away from the collected idiocy that he sees the Union as, and believes he has found a way to stop the war: give everyone a common enemy and a big enough threat for a long enough time.

Step one involves capturing Phase Rock for his own inscrutable purposes (which I'll probably never actually do because target battles and MCM's combat code annoys the hell out of me).

[mors_rattus]

Were I still playing at MCM, or even capable of considering playing at MCM (Hint: I'm not), this would sound like Ikit Claw Teamup Time.

[aandyen]

This would be the perfect opportunity for Ikit Claw Team-Up Time. And I don't blame you for not being capable of considering playing at MCM.

Now only if we could get that silly fox up there to app on SRT...

[kazora]

what would happen if javelin and binary teamed up

[aandyen]

Possibility 1: Simultaneous betrayal and MAD effect for everything within .

Possibility 2: Repliforce's "Time Since Last Scandal" counter resets. Twice.

Possibility 3: Twue wuv <3 <3 <3

[aandyen]

#1: Within (long distance), that is.
