There's literally nothing here. It got way too many universal aspect level characters and collapsed.

Well, it's not like I haven't seen strange things.

« on: May 29, 2014, 05:56:08 pm »I feel like most of us are really overestimating Xan. Just sayingYep.
He's not really any different from a brain-in-a-bot. He just has a much more flexible bot that bears a resemblance to the stuff of nightmare. I don't even see a reason to suggest he's immortal, any more than the brain-in-a-bot is. His brain is still ultimately the same, as a requirement for being functional.
I strongly suspect Jim would crush Xan in a straight up fight. But it all depends on the arena. A long term, years long, cloak-and-dagger fight? Xan hands down. One on one brawl-fest? Xan is squished.
I just need to get a way to manipulate my brain.

« on: May 29, 2014, 05:43:51 pm »Xan would win hands down. Jim is a clone, and has pointed out many times that he has zero social skills, and zero non-killing skills. Xan has the same problem, but can assimilate people prototype style, and if he pisses off the cops or whatever he can just turn into a different person. Jim would have to live with his mistakes, and being a nice person isn't enough to get you through life. Xan however, would have years to learn how to be a good liar and manipulator, and can just assimilate and impersonate a person with a high position. Plus, Xan can probably live forever, while Jim might live for another few years depending on Spectrum Corps' (I think) design phlosophy. In theory, Xan could eventually become the permanent president, imitating each new president of every new company.Oh look, you made my eventual counterpoint more eloquent.
And that's assuming Xan can't create new brains. If he can, then Xantalos' quote about being the whole company is true, and misleading. Within a few years he'd be the planet.
Also, being a complete sociopathic jerk is actually really good for getting rich. Did you know that there is a measurably higher amount of sociopaths in high positions, such as CEO, than in the general population? Granted, they're all high-functioning, and Xan is anything but, but he would have an eternity to learn.
EDIT: This is actually why I underuse Xan's abilities so much; I'm a stickler for a fair game and I'm afraid of becoming massively overpowered.
Also, I really need a decomp. I'm probably going to try to bum 5 tokens off of someone if I survive so I can actually control my shapeshifting.
