  1. All I can say is I wish more of my characters were as easy and as fun to write as Leon is. I just have to look at the page and it's suddenly all typed up. Jammy sod.
  2. "Not mine," Leon shrugged easily. "Some sort of mechanoid, or bio-mech...not a clue. And come now, darling, no need to be so trite," he added with a smirk at Lucard. "I care plenty about a lot of people. No need to get jealous just because niether of them are among them."
    He gave Emeralds hand a gentle squeeze as he said it, glancing over with a subtle wink.

    Elizabeth was about to follow Leon as he slowly walked further into the tunnel when she noticed Lucard. "Lucard da'ling! I am not sure how much he knows, and if he even knows what is at stake for the race of nosferatu...", she said while grabbing Leon his arm to stop him. "I send in Jack and the others to destroy any evidence of it, but I am not sure if they are heading the right way. A wraith is now following the dragon and will be able to tell us what is ahead.", she continued talking as if Leon wasn't there.

    She looked up at Lucard... "Be a dear and tell DeFeurard what we are facing!"

    D5, Viral lab A

    The wraith moved through the area... looking at everything he saw... passing through walls and doors. But ignoring the dragon totally. He... it... was not what it was looking for. A soft moan was uttered when it completely relised that this was what its mistress was looking for.

    It was time to report.
    Leon smirked.
    "Lizzy, I am fully aware of what the young lady is attempting to do. You have your sources of information, and I have mine. As for the 'race of nosferatu'," he smiled toothily but without much humour, "The vast majority of them can eat sh*t and die, for all I care. And stay dead, in a lot of cases. You seem to think I should have a stake in the survival of all of them. Why should I, when all they are is competition and a Douleur dans le cul, or Pain in the @rse as the French say. I realise that may be grammatical tripe, but I haven't had the chance to visit in quite some time, so I may be a little rusty.
    As for the formula? Well, at least one of my children has a rather impressive grasp of the sciences, although I won't tell you where he works in case you try something petty," he nodded to Lawrence, who was stood patiently with his hands folded behind his back, "And another who is perfectly capable of wringing necessary information out of people in a variety of different ways," he added, smiling at Maria, who simply rested her hands on her sword hilts.

    "So. It interests me to see just what happens to today. And, if playing jollies allows for that all the easier, so be it. It also means I get to avoid having people bleed on my suit," he paused, grinning pointedly at Lucard. "Shall we, then?" he added, glancing to Emerald with a more genuine smile.
  4. Eaaagh....I wasn't a fan of Animated's style, but I hear good things about it and, hey, in the end it's kinda unique. It's a more cartoony stlye.

    This? This is like the demon evill love-child of modern kids TV shows (which, compared to what they used to be, are dross...and this is coming from a 19 year olf, for christ sakes!) and Bayformers. Bayformers is Eeeee-Viiiiilll!

    I wish they'd do a series based off War for Cybertron...that'd be so much win.
    Although they would have to get Frank Welker to do the voice. Still not a huge fan of WFC Megs voice...

    What Blade said.
    The getting logged out isn't new. The 'Password incorrect' BS is. I know it's not incorrect, because I can still log into the game with it...so, no idea wth is going on there.

    She looked up to the Wraith who instantly responded. As if he could read his mistress' mind the ethereal being flew down the shaft first... following Big V. A scout ahead.

    "What do you know of what we are facing Leon?"
    Leon simply smirked.
    "And you think I'd be daft enough to walk ahead?" Calmly, he offered her the arm that wasn't linked with Emeralds. Lawrence moved up tunnel, sidestepping the Wraith with a brief look of distaste as it floated past. Maria kept back, placing herself more behind the group, keeping an ever-wary eye open.
    "As for what we are facing, it depends," Leon continued, resuming walking wether Liz came along or not. "If you mean the islands inhabitants then it would seem a resourceful yet minituarised archvillain who follows stereotypical protocol quite well...and the ever persistant or simply stubborn Nighthunters and their...'charismatic' leader," he added, unable to hide a sarcastic little grin. "That strange sensation of pure, unadulterated disdain that passed over not too long ago, however? Haven't the foggiest, dear girl."


    Further down the tunnel

    The Nightwalker followed, edging up behind the group, inch by inch as they moved on, wary and patient as ever.
  7. So far, this has happened twice, and it seems to be EU unique, unless I missed a thread on it.
    Keep getting logged out of the forum, however when I try to log back in it says the password is incorrect...despite it working in-game and being the exact same one I use to log in every time.

    No idea why this happens, but it's damn frustrating. As if being logged out for no reason wasn't bad enough.

  9. Above, the tunnel entrance

    Shadows shifted, as if a thick layer of ink was attached to the floor, sublty making every shadow darker, every nook and cranny seem deeper and somehow more threatening. An abyssal silence trailed it, as the silent entity entered the tunnel, still cautious enough to stay well out of range of the essences further within.
    The Nigthwalker waited patiently until they moved on. Time was a luxury he, unlike others, had plenty of. Such things could not be rushed, for rushing led to mistakes. And his plans held no room for error.
  10. Europe is feeling left out here! I for one want to meet you guys and chat! Before being thrown out by security for terrorising you about revamping > moar zones

    The light of the fire-barrier lit up the room with its eery shimmer. A blinding effect at least. Recognising Leon and now seeing that the creature she was attacking was not really the same as the golem she had just destroyed, Elizabeth raised her hand. Her guard instantly stopped in its tracks and the Wraith returned to fly circles in the top of the room.

    "DeFeurard...", she said with a emotionless tone. Then saw the others... "...and offspring I see." She looked around the room. "Before we start with introductions... What in the Dark Lords name are you doing here?"
    Leon nodded to Lawrence, who let the flaming barrier drop.
    "Oh, you know, seeing the sights, the sounds...taking care of business," the old vampire replie with a grin, twirling his cane in his right hand. "Let's just say I like to see thing through to the end, hmm? Shall we?" he added, gesturing further down the tunnel.
  12. A solid wall of flame lept up in front of the undead constructs.
    "Now, y'know, don'tcha think thats just a little rude, chaps?" a voice called out, as Leon stepped around the bulk of the giant dragon-thing, Lawrence at his shoulder with glowing eyes, making it clear who had summoned the barrier.
    "In case you hadn't noticed, Lizzy dear, we've got slighty bigger problems than kicking the snot out of each other right now, viz a viz the river of lava," Leon continued with a thin smile. "So, if you could lay off the gadding around for a bit then maybe no one will have to spend a few months in a coffin...if that's even an option for them," he added, with a slightly warmer glance to Emerald.
  13. /Signed. Unlock first title at 15, which lets you pick one from any of them

  15. Ok, lost now.
    Someone mind plopping the map down again and noting where people are? Kinda lost all track of who is where and what is exploding...

    "Are you a god?"

    In all seriousness, I'll be using the Incarnate abilities for sure but I dunno if anyone will count as 'godly' with them, avatar or otherwise.

    Alpha - Further high tier technological upgrades, hopefully I can use at least one power to represent Reason, his orbital railcannon that tends to hide under cloaking field on the dark side of the moon.

    Nightwalker - Further scientific advances on the path of whatever he's attempting to achieve in relation to himself and his fellow Nictus.

    Most of my characters will probably just use it to fill in gaps and grant them similar powers to stuff I previously had to just RP (if possible). Depends what the powers are first

    Where's a decent facedesk picture when I need one..?

    God of Technological Awesomeness, Badass and Obscenely Powerful Weaponary!

  20. PC gaming is a lot...hmn...more stressful(?) than it used to be.

    Back in the days of, say, Age of Empires 1, when the imperial Microsoft Empire was at a gaming height that...well, it never left...
    Either way, you put the disc in. You installed. You played the game. Fun was had.

    Nowadays? Insert disc. Install a bit. Input about three long codes. Install the rest of the game, via Steam. Create a Games for Windows Account. Wait for the damn thing to load. Wait some more. Eventually play.
    Thats pretty much what it was like getting Dawn of War 2 to work. We don't need that kind of hassle, really...I know which I prefer out of that and, as was said, Put Disk in, maybe Install, play game, profit.

    Only games I play these days are CityOf and the very rare game of TF2. The rest of the time Reach occupies my time.
  21. Cat would be neat IF she was done like her picture in Arkham Asylum, and not the failures that have been in movies in the past. Also, I cant see her as a solo villain.

    Hmn...Scarecrow is out of it, Ra's, Two Face and Joker...
    Thats a fair few of the Big Bads. Harley needs Joker to play off to be any good, so don't see that happening. Croc doesnt have the brains to solo it. Even Bane doesn't really, although I suppose he could handle it...

    Guys like Firefly, White Shark, Black Mask and suchnot are a bit unknown (afaik) for it...
    I guess Ra's coming back could be pretty cool..? *shrug* I can't call
  22. Pff..

    pffffffkehehe....

    PAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA!!

    Pious...dude. Seriously, read what you just wrote in that last post....oh dear me XD if I'm the only one that spots it then the iternet is failing in it's reputation
  23. If I'm getting this right, then whatever ghost-powered com line is in use would be pretty much like any other comunication line, albeit of a slightly more dead variety. And, going on that, and the fact that that in itself is something made up somewhat outside of the CoX universe, so long as CB is ok with it I see nothing wrong it with it being picked up like any other communication method. It's not that huge a stretch.

    Just making a point. I was trying to search for a friends character page, and got confuzzled as hell when I couldnt find it.
    Turned out they'd put a special character e in, which threw the search right off. I had to dig into word to copy paste the right version, because the only numpad code I can remember is ©
