Decided to go with some Basterds, just for the sake of contrariosity.  So far it's okay.  I haven't laughed once, though.
Were you under the impression it was meant to be a funny movie? It is not. Heck, the Basterds themselves are just a side plot.

I actually had a plot! With character development and everything! And you ruined it all!
*sob*
Was the clue that we had gone completely off the rails when we ate and shit out an adult human or farted a bullet into the guy who tried to shoot us?

May whatever issue it is be resolved quickly and with little sadness.

Oh, don't worry, it's not sad in the least bit. It's just quite interesting and exciting, that's all. And before anyone asks, it's not girls (My life isn't THAT exciting, goodness) or even guys (Sorry fellas, but I just don't swing that way). It's more like... an adventure. Yeah, that's it. An honest to goodness adventure; as if having massive family reunions and collecting books on black magic (None of it works, unless you count the time I used the Fifth Pentacle of Mars to repel a horrifying entity... Damned Jehovah's Witnesses) wasn't awesome enough. Of course, I can't just leave school and run away from home for it (I wanna major in paleontology, and my parents want me to be an engineer, and neither option turns skipping school into a good idea), but I'm gonna be spending more or less every hour of my day once I get home from school outdoors. As for what I'm doing... Nah, I'll keep you in suspense. It'll give you something to look forward to while you wait (Other than the update, of course). Well, I'll see you all when I have the time, but until then, au revoir, mis amis!

I am jealous of you, you magnificent bastard.

How'd summoning that one demon from a while back go?

Loving Hitler counts as vitriol :P
Necrophilia, actually.

Am I going to have to debate what to do with me and me when I get in?
Well I don't know about you, but I'm on a literal mission from (a) God. TRANSFORM AND ROLL OUT

D:

| At long last, I am awakened | I am returned after a millenium of distrust, disorder | Of chaos | ...I feel the shackles of this prison grating upon me still | I am not yet free | But my Chosen are | Urd'Amboor | Three others | They will lead the way to eternity |

Order turns it's attentions upon he who has served it longest, who has risen at last from the plains of Ongram to serve again.
Urd'Amboor.

| My faithful Urd'Amboor | I see you are awakened as well | But you are free while I am not | The chains of our prison proved to be escapable, I see | This is a great development in our favor | But I sense my twin has awakened as well, and with him the other | The Anathema | It is appropriate, in a way | Dualism in all things | Light for dark, earth for sky, Order for Chaos | But I cannot let it overtake the world again | It will be trying to get free | I must as well | You will aid me in this endeavor | There will be kingdoms and civilizations somewhere in the world still | Our absence has no doubt allowed them to become corrupt | Travel, my Urd'Amboor, to the closest civilization | Seek out those aligned with Order and reveal to them their true purpose | Spread the word of my return | And send the converts here - to Ongram |

The colossal intelligence sweeps the land, searching for those that it deems its heralds in the world. It finds one first:

| Rankar Alseroth | A Kasar | You come from a proud lineage, young one | But you have been marred by the chaos directed toward your kind, and your mind has fallen away from the ideals of Order you used to live up to | You distrust your fellow mortals, believing them fallen to Chaos | You may be right | But you are in a fortuitous time, Rankar | I, Order, have returned to the world after a sleep of a millenium | Soon I will need champions, mortal heralds to spread Order throughout the world to protect from the corrupting influence of my opposite | I have looked into you, and seen that you have the potential to become great | But you fear to be shunned by greater civilization, do you not? | Fear not, Rankar | Before, they may have dismissed you as no one, a person of no consequence that no one would miss or mourn | There is a way to make them listen to you |

Order sends a vision of the keep the Crown of Silence is contained in to Rankar, and the path to it from where he currently is. He is granted a vision of everything falling into its proper place, everything going right for once, with him wearing the Crown among the centerpieces of the grand design.

| Now go, Rankar | With the Crown you may bring Order to the land now called Gaolmarc | iIt was once a bastion of solitude where laws were not broken, citizens lived in harmony with their neighbors, and Order set everything into proper place | With my passing it has faded, however, barely graspiung it's former glory | If you can retrieve the Crown you can revive the kingdom, take control - make sure, for once, that greed and ambition do not compromise the rule of law | The vault in which the Crown is contained will only open to those dedicated to Order - it will open for you | Go now, Rankar of the Kasar | Bring your people to light again, and peace to this land of strife |

Next the being of stillness turns its attentions to a most curious disciple - this one has the mark of those who were once affiliated with Chaos - yet his love for Order burns through such preconceptions.

| Ramus Thirdfallen | I recall your ilk | they waged war against me in the last great conflict between me and my opposite | But you | You are different | You are contrary to that which your family has aligned | Your ancestors may have allied with Chaos | But your heart speaks of Order | I see your predicament | Distrusted by all | Cast out from greater society | You believe they are beyond saving | I can help you | I can lead you to the one who framed you, to do as you will | But afterward, travel to my domain | Ongam | The Silent Plain | Where your family once fought on the side of Chaos, sought to obliterate all civilization | You can fight to save it | I offer great things, Nalmur | A kingdom all your own if you wish | A repaired reputation | A loving family | Only serve me and these shall be yours | Now go and look upon he who would discredit you |

The identity and location of the one who framed his family is revealed to Ramus.

Order then turns its attention to the last of it's Chosen. A strange one, no doubt. Gender indistinguishable, motives uncertain. A dandelion seed on the winds of fate.
Order knew that no matter how much it tried to contol things (at least as of now), sometimes Fate decided to take matters into its own hands.
It would let this one go, for now. If it needed to intervene, it still had a modicum of power to utilize.

Expentiures of Power (for GM purposes):
Grant Rankar a vision of the Crown of Silence and where it is located, as well as what it can do (1 IP)
Grant Ramus a vision of where the man who framed him and his family is located (1 IP)
Do nothing to Solbryn beyond the dreams of Ongram that come of being Chosen (0 IP)

My dump stat is endurance. Hey, don't look at me like that, martial arts rounds are only three minutes. What more does a guy need?
I often spar for 10+ minutes. Is my sensei just insane or is it something different?
Depends on the format, arts style, and training regimen. He's probably just building up your stamina so that you're not a one round wonder.
That would be it. Given that in the black belt gradings he makes the gradees spar for upwards of 45 minutes straight against high-ranking black belts, it's no wonder.

For what it's worth, I'm trying maximize immersion, not "easiness of stopping."  I need a minor brain reset, is what I'm saying.
...
Adventure Time is still the most easily distracting and 'able to watch with brain turned off' one.

Given that your having a break, Adventure Time is easy to stop because the episodes are in ten minute pieces.

Am I just abnormally lucky, then? I've never broken a bone; never had burns that were worse than blistering and scarring; never had an ingrown nail; put my bare hand through a glass window without getting a single nick; sleep-walked barefoot through about two miles of alley in my pajamas when I was ten, woke up, and carried a florescent lamp home without incident; fallen from various roofs and trees without injury; been shot in the chest by a flare twice the size of my thumb...

I mean, shit, is anyone else like this? I've had someone leg-sweep me and slam my head into a hardwood floor with nothing beyond 5 minutes of unconsciousness and a few hours of dizziness to show. Maybe some memory loss, too. Maybe some memory loss, too. I've had my brakes fail while going down a mountain on a street luge, hit a bump, flipped over, and got nothing but a skinned knee and a bloody patch on my cheek the size of my palm (which turned into an awesome scar for a few years). I was eleven for that second one.

Meanwhile people are having to have surgery without doing anything stupid at all and breaking limbs when they trip on flat ground. There's my WTF for the day. I guess I dumped STR and CHA in exchange for truly obscene Luck. o.0
I have slightly higher than average STR, CON, END, and a bit of Luck. Only ever sprained my ankle for any serious injury.
