Exaccus

Setting his eyes on the mech that remained standing and unbound by the terran hero gaian knight's geomancy, moth traced a circles in the air with his long slender forefingers, coalesscing rings of blazing prismatic light that were sent soaring one after another through the launch bay towards the back of the mechanical assault vehicle, a veritable torrent of high energy projectiles that buzzed like saws as they went, even as many bounced harmlessly off their target and shattered, vanishing into sparkling particles like thin sheets of ice

Go go Moth!

 

lets blast the heck outta that thar mech

 

1d20+10=24 DC27 toughness save if that hits.

 

Assuming its not a minion we shall surge and go again, spending the HP

Still Coming up with a name for this one!

A centennial Carp that gained self awareness and leapt the dragon gate! Due to the pact and semi-divine nature of dragons he didn't get the lion's share of the power the jade emperor promised his ancestors and has attained a strange more humanoid form, he'll Come into his powers even more as time passes, but not for a Long while (Cheers if you got the pun); for now he's happy to explore the world outside the pond and attempt to blend into human society whilst he sorts through the strange new thoughts and memories the process has endowed him with.

 

Something of a martial artist and paragon, i see him being largely a member of the god squad, albeit much less experienced and wordly than thor, wonder woman or Herakles/Hercules; Mayhaps a bit of post lamp-genie mixed in; Ponds make for itty bitty living spaces after all.

 

Trying out some new formatting stuff too, lemme know how it feels on the eyes.

 

Inspired by this Sentai Character I love how flamboyantly he dresses.

So my latest obsession is ludonarrative Layers.

 

the idea behind this character is something akin to what gwenpool has going on, they wake up finding themselves in a universe that is fictional in their own, through not exactly the same.

 

the characters traits represent that whilst they're "more real" than the universe they're currently in, they're not beyond the reach of its rules, he is a human so he needs to eat, sleep and breath as humans in his native reality do, he can be affected by poisons and damage but as the sources of these are less real in this world they're less effective against him, his words are accordingly more true, akin to zatanna's backwards speak he can alter reality by talking, but the universe already has its own narratives and story going on and resists or outright refuses his attempts to change it. (the latter will be a complication to just nix anything he tries due to the nature of variables)

 

Other than that, i see them as just being a nice person with all the normal hang ups around messing with reality and normal human intelligence and awareness, he's not got the fine control of a surgeon with a scalpel.

Moon-moth grumbled as a painful fragment of a energy blast refracted through his barrier singed his fluffy shoulder, he drew himself aloft into the air, angling his wiry frame above the chaos below, whilst this made him easy pickings, his sightlines were vastly improved.

 

he unleashed terrible power from his eyes, carving a glyph into the sky with lines of prismatic light a great eye that sprung to animated life, casting its blazing gaze upon the hanger, filling their minds with an overload of guilt and regret to flood their neurons with decades of misdeeds and pinning them in place, much like butterflies in a display case.

 gonna fly up to give me the best view of the battlefield and then

So here goes nothing once more!

 

Concept is for a brain in the jar type character (his jar doesn't come off, nor is is possible to open it to get at his delicious neural taffy so no worries there)

Whom thanks to advanced stupidity managed to hook himself up to a nanite printing factory and build himself and it into a life model decoy esque body for him but can also use it as a foundation for various other forms via shapeshift limited to machines.

 

Name comes from his first experiments with this that turned him into a combination satellite/butterfly amalgamation and became his favorite form.

 

still working out the finer details but what i got so far is here for peering and prodding at.

Moon-moth eyes watched the battle unfold in their eerie unblinking nature, his vastly intelligent and utterly alien mind turning the situation over in his head.

 

he was barely aware of the telepathic assault launched against him, it had blunted on his hardened will, shattering like glass thrown against stone.

 

"Poor choice of opponent." he said calmly to the telepath that had picked him out as with a flick of his wrist he sent one of the assault craft parked in the hanger careening over towards his partner telepath that had attacked the swift terran.

 

rather than wasting his energies on this one it would be more gainful to support velocipede so they could work unhindered at thinning the herd.

 

"Moth is the Fluffiest Praetorian!" he bellowed, his boastful battlecry filled with unyielding willpower "you are as sand before me! Coarse! Rough! Everywhere!"

Oki! first things first will save vs mental blast!

 

1d20+10=20 Right on the money

 

I think Moth will use his Move object 18 to throw one of the small craft in the hanger towards the telepath and any backup dancers close enough that pinged Velocity and manuver away from the main group to avoid being exquisite AOE bait

 

Assuming the craft is big enough to be an AOE but if you need an attack roll i can make one! Moth is in a weird PL10.5/11 place so ill leave the DC to your discretion

"Portal calculations complete." moth announced, holding the spinning construct of twisted space between his hands.

 

"Myothizar is familiar with most modern standardized ship layouts, starboard hanger is optimal point for both blunting the offense and penetrating the defenses of this vessel, though it is also the best place for the enemy to bring their numbers to bear against a boarding action most effectively." he reasoned

 

Nodding to travelers request "Lanternians is slow and clumsy fliers, moth will be more effective in the belly of the beast."

 

with that he looses his spell causing space to fold back like a kaleidoscopic iris, layers of time and distance fishtailing and folding along vectors of relativity and waves of gravity.

 

"let us be swift as the stellar winds of lantern and sweep them away."

Initiative!

 

1d20+10=13

"ah beans, this is not good." moon-moth stated matter of factly as he scratched the top of his head, unmoving, unblinking eyes moving as he tilted his head left and right like an owl.

 

"Moth shall begin portal network establishment immediately, please relay co-ordinates to moth and explanations to Passangers." he spoke both to the Terran heroes and his fellow Praetorians.

 

"Maths is astronomical so has a variable of movement and the wormhomes distortion, Time and relative dimensions in space, carry the three, honour the holy ordos...." he mumbled to himself as he pressed his hands together, antenna moving in precise motions in sync with his hands.

 

Maths is hard

Moon-Moth sympathized in a way, mating rituals were difficult times the universe over, but it was no reason to go inflicting your hormones on everyone around you.

 

He remained quiet during the back and forth banter between the various groups and independents present, it was unwise for a being so...unskilled at galstandard to communicate in this tense situation.

 

"If needs musts myothizar can scry for his locations, but given his ranges of movement it would be bests to avoid casting such a wide ranging spells, lest ripples in the aether draw unbidden attentions from things best left ignorant."

This was gonna be one of those cycles it seemed.

 

"Perhaps when we find where the cosmos is hiding it's matchsticks and it stops trying to burn itself down." Moth mumbled in response to travellers offer

 

His observation of the man who would be Khan lead him to believe he was earnest about his intentions at least.

 

Perhaps it was his harsh youth, thankfully romanticism and heroism were the better outcomes of hard life's, more so than cruelty and despair anyway.

 

Ths was not gonna be Juffo-wup.

"To struggle is to live, peace and repose are of the grave." Moon-Moth mumbled without pretense "that our troubles were less...enormous and had less wide reaching consequences would be pleasant however indeed." He admitted as he stroked his antenna back into a more formal arrangement.

 

The coalition council was always a stressful thing for myothizar, with its noise and fury, it's diversity made it strong but also cacophonous and discordantly loud with it's frictions between member worlds

 

"After this, I think I will return to my meditations for a few weeks."

Moon-Moth

Praetorians: A paradigm shift

Written in the Stars

"pleasurable meetings of your acquaintance" moon-moth stated, his mind ablaze with scenarios that would bring the blood heir to the khanate to CoVic Station so suddenly following his sire's passing, if indeed he was gone, deaths grip was not so absolute on mortals as it had been during the time of the ancient empires.

 

he seemed to be in good health and held enough favor and authority to secure himself the use of a ship, proving he was no disowned or abandoned son of the khan, minimally armed and crewed though it might be a cruiser of this magnitude was not something one could hope to purchase nor sustain without significant backing, perhaps there was a succession crisis or a Coup 'd'état, it was unlikely the khan would limit himself to a single heir given his expectations of them as warlord after all, a few would inevitably fall.

 

Gathering the Coalitions recognition and assistance would go a long way to legitimizing himself as ruler and smooth over relationships with their galactic neighbors as a newer friendlier ruler took the reigns, at least until the situation stabilized.

 

"Myothizars thoughts are yours during this hard times of your house."

Moon-Moth was not particularly well educated on technological marvels of the universe, the phenomena of energy and matter he was more so familiar with, the metal beast before him ran on shallow breaths and starvation, it was not capable of waging battle for its own survival least of all vainglorious conquest.

 

"Why now?" Moth muttered, his coherence in galstandard bolstered by the brevity of his statement "what has changed?"

"an brilliant idea new friend, Rex of the first" moon-moth spoke up, resting a comforting if slightly inhuman hand upon his shoulders.

 

"If this is agreeing able to yourselves and the other party goers presenting here, I second this motion with my inertia."

Moon-moth held his peace as he stood at the rear of the procession, his lack of elegance with the spoken word made him unsuitable for delicate diplomatic tasks beyond advising those who could divine the meanings in his words, he never the less gestured the universal greeting in his native none verbal language, adding on the desire for a fruitful relationship to form, his long slender fingers curling and flexing in a series of hand signs to convey his thoughts. antenna flicking and twitching to accent them with more formal tones.

 

Welcome to our home, we wish you a comfortable stay and hope that these endeavors lead us all to a more fruitful and peaceful future

 

Long hours of encoding the Lanternian language into modern universal translator devices would now hopefully pay off
