Right, recently you may have noticed me roleplaying as someone called "Salazar" or "Immortal.Hunter". I fear I've gone too far.
Firstly, let me explain who he is. If you haven't read the story The Power Or Man (I doubt you have) then you probably never heard of him until just the other day.
And for those of you who don't want to/can't be assed to (Can't say I blame you) read it, a synopsis is as follows:
On the way from Sol, the pod holding Salazar Kithe, a respected commander, malfucntioned. This resulted in him staying awake for the whole journey. Needless to say, he lost his mind, and when he left the pod, he was loony. However, as he was awake for the journey, his body was producing chemicals like endorphins, adrenaline etc etc, which mixed with the paralyzing agent and the cryogenic freezing process in his blood and started a continuos reaction. Basically, he can't die until someone puts a bullet in him or something. He started drinking peoples blood, becuase he believed it kept him young. He believed he was drinking their life force. Anyway, a while passes, and he starts to hate Bretonia. He blames them for what happened to him. So, after a loooooooong time, he decides to strike back. He heads to the outcasts and convinces them he's useful. He helps them, he obeys them, and he works for them for a long time, until they trust him. He promptly betray's them, and runs off with an Outcast Dreadnought. I know, I know, you're probably saying "Oh dear god, the I stole it line" but I tried to make it believable... promise. Anyway, he massacres the crew, and keeps a few with him. They head off into the Taus. He decides to make a crew by raping women and raising the children in his own way, and 100 years or so after leaving the Outcasts, he decides to start taking his revenge.
That's the story so far. What I planned at first was for this to never leave the forums. I never planned to make this character in Freelancer. Then, I watched as Niezck got a Terrorist ID after saying "I never planned for this character to leave the forums". After denying it heavily, I started planning on appyling for a terrorist ID for Salazar. The character got put on hold for a while after I got a little bored with him, and then came the day when 4.85 was going to be released. I decided I wanted an unlawful character, and being the battleship loving person I am, I gave the San Franciscos account to someone else so we could share it, and bought an Outcast Dreadnought. It was an impulse buy, bought with the money from the systems I have recently made for people, I bought it when I was told the price would increase by god knows how much.
Anyway, I decided to give it to Salazar, and continued The Power Of Man to show this. Then, a few day's ago, I posted this.
All of a sudden, my character was real, in game, and accelerating rapidly. I decided to do some RP with the BAF in system, and collected a huge amount of screenshots, which are now in The Power Of Man (Most recent chapter).
Then, I started having people asking me about him, yesterday and today. Asking who he was, where he had come from etc etc. At this point, I was thinking to keep this quiet, nothing big, a small project on the side.
Then, today I logged on again. Leeds system, made some in RP threats, talked to a Gaian, and then SevereTrinity wandered through on his way to Alpha.
We talked for a bit, and decided that if this character stole the ship, the the outcasts would surely hunt him. Sure enough, this post appeared a couple of hours ago: Here.
Now I'm worried. The Immortal.Hunter is an Outcast Guard ID'd and tagged ship. Outcasts hunting an Outcast guard ship doesn't look good in RP, and the Special RP characters section is still closed. I never planned on this becoming so big so quickly.
So, I need a couple of things:
Firstly, to anyone who has listened to/talked to the Immortal.Hunter in leeds, what were your opinions? Did I do a good job? What did you think?
Secondly, I need the communities as a whole opinion on what I should do with this character:
-Put everything on hold until the Special RP section reopens, and discuss it then.
-Scrap the character, it's too mad, and out of RP
-Continue as I am
-Apply for a terrorist ID.
I fear I've gone to far too quickly, and I don't want to annoy anyone by doing anything rash. My biggest worry and flaw in my story now is that I don't have any goals or waypoints in his story in the future. I was thinking that the next thing he's going to do is start to talk with Kusari, and start blowing up Bretonian NPC's for pilots etc, but after that I don't know what to do.
I would appreciate any thoughts or inputs or suggestions.
A few things...
1. You would be addicted to cardamine if you'd lived with the Outcasts for any extended period of time. And as you said "A long time" that is the case.
2. I can't see immortality being a reality, no matter how much you dress it up. You're 800 years old? doesn't sit right in my book.
3. You did just use the "I stole it line", you liked the ship, and you thought, how can I get it?
Perhaps most importantly:
4. Bretonia has more than enough enemies, if its not SCRA, the Corsairs, or Kusari, all of which are next door, if not now inside our borders, there are also the Gaians or the Mollies on quite regular occasion. We could really do without a outcast battleship rocking around our space aswell.
@eyvind: that is what I was hoping to do yes, thanks:)
@Athenian: so, any opinion on what I should do now?
@coriko: I agree with your points to at least some degree. Do you think I should scrap the character? And if you look at it this way: more enemies= more fun things to do = more people = more lawfuls
