OOC: @Gear He's been called out now. Regardless, cool it. I don't want this thread devolving into a hour-long ***** fight again.

@FPS: Yeah, I'm sure about that, but don't worry, hopefully something like that will happen soon anyways.
@Furioso: *Sad Face* ah well, it can't be helped.
@Outis: Its the entire point of being a clone.

Because it brings in the point of Cloning and all the types of things with it. Think about for a moment. Would said clone, when confronted with its reality about being a clone, would he/she/it be forced down in a pit of despair? Or would he/she/it accept fact and deal with it on their own terms? Or would he/she/it go hunting for the original template and kill them? Annoying, weightless deaths are REALITY! There's no way of changing that, people die because of other people's mistakes and are to be punished as such. Which Femscout never did and everybody is happy go lucky about it.
I meant to play the last part of last thread and this thread's characters with a slight taste of reality, including Jin and his mourning about Tsubaki being dead. Nova's death is based solely on these facts.
Nobody wants to learn, then fine. It shall remain a mystery, and several people actually liked how she died, but its brings in REALITY ENSURES!
The entire purpose of The Vanguards Original Characters is that they are REALLY grounded into reality, a rather dark reality, but a reality nevertheless. That's why the actual main characters are depressed, because of the reality they live in.

1) She's a clone
2) She can be replaced, and nobody would care... or would they?
3) Most of them have gone through torturous experimental, that despite their pasts, can be talked into talking about!

Jean hugged Tao back.
Well...put it more...nicely? No need to get angry about it. If you want to have a discussion, that's fine. But there is not reason to be abrasive over this.Gearhead mk2 said:
OoC: @Trty Still in Paris then?
Also, I feel that killing of a character and bringing in a very similar one cheapens the character. I felt the same way about Charlotte and Laura back in thread 2, though there my general neutrality towards them was increased by the fact that I have something of a dislike of the japanese style of over the top sillyness.

OoC: @Kirke, no, we are in Russia, Joseph tricked us into going to Volgograd, where he sent 100 tanks at us, we now know he is in St. Petersburg
Oh, and @Rosh, I like your idea of a thread driven character, and have tried doing it, nothing has tried to kill me though

OOC: @Kirk I actually think exactly the same. Too many damned anime characters over the four threads. *shakes head.* Anyway, I came to like Charlotte and Laura, but only because I almost never interacted with them before they died.
Jacques paused, then grudgingly nodded.
"Oui... oui, I suppose I have accumulated a good deal of stories from my time both on the gundeck and on the battlefield." He acknowledged.

"Oh...well better take a shot at it anyways..." She said to Terra, then tired welding by tapping her gem and using the power that way.
Tao Grinned. "Thanks Jean lady" She said to Jean, as she hugged her.
OoC: @Fur, not sure If Ive mentioned it before, but your rather good at giving summaries
Keep it up

OoC: @Rosh Oh... the old "what is a human" dillemma. Allright, I get it. If you want to explore that, I support you wholeheartedly. It's always an interesting plot, heck, it's one of my favourites. I just think the way you handled going into it is... I'm not gonna say what I think cause I don't want to offend anyone. Sorry about the shouting guys.
@Kirke I don't really like anime stuff either, but frankly, Mass Effect is the only western thing I can think of off the top of my head that has characters that are powerful enough to survive in these things and aren't written horribly.

"Right..." Terra walked next to Crystal and placed her hands on Crystal's staff. Her hands began glowing with a intense organge light as she began casting a Meltdown spell. As the energy was channeled into the staff, the orb of the staff glowed with the same intense light. "Be careful now..." she said, slightly nervous.
Exactly! Existentialism! Cloning morality (Which the guy that has been doing it only did it to spite Winter for her killing his family during her time as "The Succubus of Helios Prime" and if anybody actually when back to Normandy would have seen Nova's corpse smashed into several pieces and body parts all over the place... >_>)
Several parts of the human psyche that results in questioning what they are, what they will become, and what has happened to them in the past...
Nobody bothers asking, though Jean had the idea before saying that Phoenix was not Nova... Though that only lasted for a few posts.
How Nova/Phoenix would have developed was completely up to how she was treated. If she spent enough time with Vergil, she would be abrasive and near evil. If she talked with generally nice people, then she would be good as well.
Hell, some of her powers would have been upgraded accordingly to interactions...

OoC: @Kirke I considered a SPARTAN from Halo, but... well, they're strong, espically the SPARTAN-III's, but they're still too underpowered for this. Plus, my OCD side would demand that I keep tabs on all their ammo, weapons, armour pieces, etc etc, so it'd be a pain to manage and they'd have limited resources.
@Rosh I love the sound of that! What road you gonna go down? CLones being expendable puppets, replacements for the dead, people in their own right?

Hearing the crackle and hiss of the intense light and heat from Terra's staff, Jacques looked away from Long Fang and watched, fascinated.
