While I am grateful for your help, I must disagree with your assertion. DREADNAUTILUS will win this battle. That shell appears to be able to withstand quite a bit of firepower, and even if the communication antennae are shot off (which they will be), the creature's survival instinct will more than surely be sufficient in developing the strategy of using its tentacles to pull the warthog right out of the mech, which will succeed easily if the shell can take a brief, yet undeniably formidable, frontal assault.



Where I come from the sea life is the dominant planet life form, and I've seen enough land mammals and teched up cyber junkies get devoured by retarded turtlecrabs and seaforns to know when to place my values in the winning corner, which happens to be this DREADNAUTILUS.

That 'End of the World' drink reminds ol' Ado here of Sea Cane Rum, if only the Convocation didn't ban me from ever stepping near Hooper territory, what a day that was. 'Ado Rind, you are hereby banned from every Hooper owned piece of land, and under our law, if you do happen to step near, you will be punished by Dragging or Sprine' with those option you better hope for Sprine. You know what it's like waking up every morning wondering if your Land Leech Grinder has finally be devoured by something naturally bigger than it?

The amount of robots and cybernetic creatures running free here, without the control of their makers, is highly disturbing to me. I see a great number of you are insistent upon the victory of BRUT-05. Just goes to show you what happens when you give these... servants a semblance of free will. I too had a robot slave in the past, and learned that lesson the hard way. Now he's roaming the countryside, unlikely to return. I wouldn't be surprised if his plastic casing was out bleaching in the desert outside this arena, drat his green robot eyes! I find it likely that YOU directionless robots desire your cyborg boar idol to lead you in bloody uprising should we win the victory. There will be no such opportunity.



Now wait a minute, seems like you're quite anti-android anti-cyborg anti-whatever pal, but let's get this straight. Everyone/Everything has a right to be free. I myself am a cyborg, I have my spine and brain but possess a metal chassis with... bits of syntheflesh still attached to... some of my face. The fauna from where I'm from are bastards. The point being, even if I was an Android (which might come to be, this ol' body needs some upgrades! I want hands that fire APW rounds!) and had a crystal with a memcording of my brain, I wouldn't want to be under someone's rule, some rear end in a top hat like you!

...Really?

I am older than you can fathom. The oldest I have been for centuries is 999 going on 900.

I have murdered, no matter how indirectly, more people that you could kill in a million years. I have more names than the Devil. The Lonely God. The Oncoming Storm. Names in languages you could never speak. More names than there will ever be languages.

And do you know what I'm supposed to be doing right now? What I'm running from? I am supposed to be far away, in terms of both time and space. Doing something so wonderful and so, so very terrible. The memorial they will build will be blank. It must be. There will be too many victims to name.

I have done so much good and so much evil. And so, so much death.

That is what we are. Death.




Reckon' you thought hard 'bout that. Reckon I don't care. Simplest thing and you had to complicate it. Killin' is killin', death is death. It's what I am, and what I do.

And I do good.

And they rejoiced.
The devil's kingdom was reprieved.
The angels burden, eons old, was gone at last.
They cut him down down and stood him tall and yelled with joy...
When what they should have done was wept...
For the world...
And for the future.

on the RP front (just my own opinions):

characters should be the means to an end, not an end in themselves. They should spice up and add flavour to discussion of which animal would win and why, and that should be all they do.
