Maria snorted, removing her mirrored glasses as she did so. Her look made it plain she was still convinced Lucard was a rambling idiot.
"'Return of our people from the darkness'? Did you ever suffer mental trauma that never healed right?" she asked, arching a pristine eyebrow. "Vampires are darkness. Undead. Bloodsuckers. Nosferatu. All that gothic horror schtick exists for a reason; because a lot of it is true. It's also true about just how idiotic a vampiric Empire would be. Unless you Americans are somewho different, organising vampires has always been like herding cats, except without the common courtesy and loving and caring." The last words were added with acid sarcasm. "Your Countess, or whatever master you claim to serve, can pontificate all they want. But I can also guarentee that they or any other vampiric lieutenants they have will have little to no qualms about stabbing you in the back, literally, when the fancy takes them. Believe me; I studied my own particular brand of politics in Renaisance Italy."

She looked up, wincing for a moment as some sort of shadow briefly darkened the sky, a frown creasing her brow momentarily.
"Besides, I'm hardly going to explain what our notion of balance is, am I?" she continued after a moment. "And, before you get any ideas, my version is distinctly different from my fathers. I'm loyal to him due to choice, love and, when all is said and done, blood. But my mind is my own. And you, for one, will not change it. Now; are we quite done with the chin-wagging, or are we going to go after this little mad science and her freakish formula?"

Underground;

Leon broke pace just for a step, glancing upward with a visible frown. Lawrence's right arm twitched involuntarily, causing him to rest his left against it, glancing askance at his father, who's only response was a shrug. Whatever had just occured outside was an unknown quantity...for now.

Shut your face before I feed it to you!

Gawd damn builds part of a wiki and thinks he's a god...







Thanks for the explanation, Ransim.

"A little private venture, one could say," Leon replied a little cryptically, although not without a smile. "Mostly just here to make a point, however. And yourself, m'lady? I didn't know that what ammounts to a warzone was allowed to have it's own beautiful bartenders show up to keep us welcome company."

Maria gave him a long look. If she had had glasses she would have peered over them at him. After a moment she withdrew the blade in one fluid motion.
"I don't want to kill you, you nimrod. As father said, just prove a point," she shot back. "As to your questions; I dislike you from the last time we met and would happily tear you a new one, even if it does heal. No, I'm perfectly happy with that I am, and have been all my life. I do think you're proud, yes. Taking over the world? I really cannot be f*cked with that ammount of hastle, thank you very much. I'm a vampire, not some maniacal, cackling archvillain. I want whats mine and what I want; that's it. And no, we don't want to take on the world. That's idiotic. We're just proving the point; there's always a balance."

She sighed, pinching the bridge of her nose.
"If by 'return of Vampires' you mean some sort of Evil Empire, I want nothing to do with it. We don't do that sort of thing. S'bloody stereotypical. Politicking, manipulation, backstabbing and intruige? Been normal buisness since ten-sixty-six. But if this mad scientist girl is as much of a threat as you say, then I guess I can save taking an arm off of you till a later date," she added with a pointed little smile.

*sigh*

I'm not going to retract my previous statements, because they are my opinions and, unless something comes up to change them quite a lot, they will stay that way.

However, I think we should at least leave this thread for the OOC like it's meant to be before it gets locked, and at least carry on with the OS finale.

T'be fair, I will withdraw that if it sounded like it was aimed at you and Erez. The fight with Alpha, while a little frustrating at times, was done considerately. And the character concept itself is pretty neat.

That doesn't mean I withdraw my statements about others, however, because I believe them to be fully founded.

Oh, this is prime.
How about the Priest? Hmm? You seem perfectly fine with the fact that he came back from 'Heaven Above'. Or Bathory, or Lucard, try and kill them off and they'd be some way around it.
Their vampires. That I can live with. It's expected.

And hey, didn't you jsut say 'its rude to kill off other peoples character'? Oh, why yes, you did!
I'm not talking about killing anyone off! One stab wound in a regen isn't that bloody bad. I was making a point, and was fully expecting him to regen it. I could live with that, and move on with the fight.

But you go and throw a wobbler for one little thing. That's fine. Just don't expect me to give any quarter when people call me on crap like;

when you know damn well that others you chum with would do the exact same. Long and short of it is that Leon has ways he can be killed, most of them arcane and a few technological ones that would, while not killing him, achieve the same long term effect. But if you're going to take everything out of context just so you can have your flamefest at me, be my guest.

I'm sorry, at which point did I say that I was talking about godmoding? Of course godmoding is bad writing. And perhaps you should have asked just that before having Lucard side step like Maria was no bloody threat, hmm? Politeness works both ways.

As for 'bad writing', no. I'm talking about English writing, where I can barely understand the bloody point of the post. Yes, fine, grammar Nazi. So sue me. I'd say it before, I'll say it now.

Oh and;
Just who the hell do you think you are? You speak for yourself and yourself alone, sunny jim. The vast majority of Unions RP community seem happy enough with me. The...hmm...three or four that might not? They coincidentally happen to be the ones I couldn't give a flying feth about anyway. So that's perfectly fine by me.

Oh puh-lease...lecturing me on this crap? Come on.

First off, no. Leon is a wise-cracker who is a regen and fire-proof, yes. He traded out the majority of all the wierd abilities vampires have for a few ones he thought were key.
You blow his head off an stick a stake in his heart? He's out of action for a good long while. I also have no problem doing that in-game, considering how many alts I've got. If anything, it makes my life a bit easier.
Nuke proof? Hell no. Boom. One big cloud of dust. He'll still be back, yes. But not for about, ooo...a month? Maybe two?

And yes, you guess right, Maria isn't just some prissy little girl which, while Lucard might act like she is, she isn't. You want to do AT comparisons, or simple character version comparisons? Happy to do so. Simple matter of fact is, as stated in text, just because someone sidesteps once isn't some damn 'avoid all damage' card. Spin a sword round and stab backwards.

Also, don't you dare patronise and talk down to me. I'm sick of it. And I'm sick of trying to justify and be polite to people who are so effing two faced about it, when they are just as incosiderate of my own characters.

Leon blinked, expresion slightly stunned just for a moment, before he broke into a broad grin as he recognised her. Lawrence did a slight double take but, as soon as he noticed his fathers reaction he settled down, although still raising an inquiring eyebrow.
"A pleasure, my dear," Leon replied with a wink, chuckling quietly as Lawrence simply rolled his eyes. "Leon DeFeurard, at your service. This is Lawrence, my youngest. I'm ashamed to say I never got your name at the ball," he added with a wry grin, peering over his glasses at her in obvious query.

So, what, I'm just supposed to let him block anything that Maria, Lawrence OR Leon could throw at him? Ever? Because that's what is ALWAYS going to happen. Oh, and he'll regen it. And dodge bullets, swords, fireballs, whatever; I could NUKE the guy and he'd still walk out smiling with a 'oh yeah, im nuke proof' bloody quip.

Because that is what I'm getting eternally god damn ****ing sick of in Union RP; mutha-****in characters who are so badly bloody written and played its un-freaking-believable.

I'm in a lot of pain right now, due to the fact my backs just gone and thrown itself out so low down that the usual methods to click it back in refuse to work. So, you know what? To hell with you and every other frankly TERRIBLE writer who's ever disgraced the name of RP.

Good day sir. I'm putting this out to a number of people, not just you. And no, I don't regret typing it, and I would happily say it to your faces if I had the chance. So don't try and guilt trip me with that old junk either.

Aren't those two mutually exclusive, though? =S

His only reward was Maria reversing the nearest side blade in one agile spin of the fingers, before ramming it right through him via the back.
"First off, punk, don't call me girl. Second, I frankly couldn't give a toss about pride. We are here to make a point, and if I have to carve it on your thick skull then so be it!" she snapped. "If anyone here is so proud they should fall, it's you! You think you're invincible. We are going to show you that no one, not even you or your precious Countess, are untouchable.
She leaned backwards, bringing her face into Lucards view with a fanged smile.
"Also, don't worry about the girl. Theres quite enough people on this Island to deal with her five times over, at a rough estimate. Now hold still; I'll make it quick and painful, I promise."

"My suit? Ah, you like it then?" Leon smirked as he stood up. "And, frankly chap, I don't think someone who looks like an anime cosplay reject has any right whatsoever to comment on what I choose to wear. And, honestly, 'Vampire name'? Which one? Bloodsucked, parasite, undead, curse? Take your pick. I'm happy to wait while you figure out the long words," he added, with a patronising little smile.
"In the meantime, though, I do think Maria here had something she wanted to-"

Maria was already airborne, hurling herself at Lucard with blades drawn.
"You're mine, you snarky little rat. I'll show you what it means to be a real vampire, not the lapdog to that stuck up hag!"

Without a second glance, Leon walked down towards the mine, simply stepping on air when the gradient got too steep.
"Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got some exploring to do," he said with a cheery wink...before he and Lawrence simply seemed to step through the mass of rubble, leaving the others behind.

The shadows stirred. He could sense fire. Life essence. Bound essences. Power. Intruiging.
He edged a little closer, keeping at a safe distance. Observation was in order, for now. He was in no mood for direct action just yet.

Nah...that sounds more like Pictsies to me

I'd be up for that as an option across the board, not just Kheldians.
