School House Rumbles 3: The Reborn Age of Fighters RPG Discussion Thread 2

Is this a hint?

Not exactly.

Elewa isn't going to go "evil" at least not in a conventional sense. You won't see any moonbase lasers or death camps from him.

He is however going to conduct himself that people might not agree with. As shown with Takeshi, if he deems that you're not someone he actually cares about then he's totally okay with using people to achieve the greater good he's aiming for. He's become a lot less afraid of authority and much more ready to challenge it if he finds it wanting. He's not that big on empathy because he still doesn't fully understand people at large and he's become quite stubborn and convinced of his course so he's going to be hard to dissuade. He's still a pacifist but he's come around to the idea that sometimes you might have to kill someone in order to stop them.

That said, it's hard to tell. A lot of his character direction is going to be informed by what happens to us throughout the remainder of the game and how his interactions with other characters go. I'm not planning for him to end up as a supervillain but it is a minor possibility.

For future projections; his main course of action when we get back into Eden is going to be heading into Sector 12 to start organising and securing the people he cares about and trying to limit the loss of life in the ensuing chaos as much as possible. From there he'll send his brother into the Scoop and Sector 13 and start moving inward, trying to keep everyone safe. First and foremost, he wants to keep 'his people' safe and right now 'his people' constitutes the population of Eden.

I'm also looking forward to the day when he and Max talk about economics.

Not gonna lie- that sounds pretty evil in the conventional sense.

I think we have different ideas about what constitutes "evil,"

To me, Elewa comes across as quite cold and uncompromising sure, but he's stressed that he wants to protect his city and keep the people safe and happy.

Misguided? Maybe. Consciously malignant? No.

Manipulativeness, lack of empathy, coldheartedness, and reduced fear are all signs of being a psychopath.

And that sounds like Elewa to me.

[Nik Hasta]

And that sounds like Elewa to me.

I wouldn't say he's manipulating anyone.

That implies consciously misleading them. Elewa said to Takeshi; "Hey, I want you to do what I say, how 'bout it?" He'll use people but they will know that he's using them and they'll have a choice about it. If Takeshi had said no then Elewa would have responded with; "Whatevs man, just try not to fuck up what we're trying to do here,"

And he's not coldhearted. Far from it, he loves his city and his people enormously, guy has a big-ass warm heart. His actions are cold, but he's not.

Lack of empathy and reduced fear I'll give you. Elewa's never understood people properly and now he's not afraid of them anymore.

[Sub-Zero MKA]

Am I the only one who feels Cammy should be barred from using her elemani powers because it runs the very high risk of her blowing the entire builsing up, with us in it?

Wasn't she doing some control training?

Though just going into lava form should be bad for the building, unless she can make it not damage the building by existing somehow.

Yes, with Max and Robert. But that was before she reached LOLWTF levels of stupid powerful.

[FarBeyondC]

As a counterpoint, I don't think anyone knows how strong she is now.

So he's edging towards psychopath.

Supervillain enough for me.

It's a real risk, you know.

Wasn't she doing some control training?

Though just going into lava form should be bad for the building, unless she can make it not damage the building by existing somehow.

She went to training, did terribly, and then left without learning much.

Yes, with Max and Robert. But that was before she reached LOLWTF levels of stupid powerful.

Cammy doesn't even really know how powerful she is, all she knows is that she can feel something inside her overflowing with power that she's been tapping into more and more as she's grown stronger.

She's terrified of it, though, because she knows that she really struggles to control her power as is, and can only imagine what it would be like if she used all the power. Also, she's going to realize that there's something not quite right about it- mostly because she has never heard of any empowered having something like she feels inside of herself.

It's like that scene in DBZ when Goku and Vegeta are fighting, and then Majin Buu powers up and Goku goes, "Tell me you felt that horrible power... it's endless!" except only Cammy can feel it.

So Cammy's a more stable Buu?

Rivia moved silently, all but invisibly. Ignoring the nervous talk of her fellow cadets, she focused instead on her enhanced senses. Scanning the area around them as they moved, she carefully opened her mind to the thoughts of those imprisoned inside., searching for those who most needed to be released.

While leaning casually against the wall in a dimly lit corner, Ramilia extends her senses to try and hone in on the life energy of Commander Agnar and the other prisoners they need to release.

From what Cleric said earlier, all forms of scanning are blocked in here.

The entire place is made up of soem sort of material that stops such things.

She senses nothing. The place prevents any sort of scanning.

[Chrosis]

So Cammy's a more stable Buu?

It was a loose metaphor than that. The power is less pure evil and more... intoxicating. She'll be communing with the personification of the cycle of death and rebirth.

Question is: Can she out rock Peter?

Max's new sword:

Question is: Can she out rock Peter?

In short, no.

She has absolutely no musical talent. However, the Phoenix can play a mean six string.
