(Reads part about nerfing Bardock. )
(Remembers that RP characters are usually nerfed.)
Oh... Right... Now I remember. ^^;;;
Anyways, I'll see what I can find out about the power level. What we do know is that Bardock can lift anywhere from 18000 pounds, to 54000 pounds, assuming that he's as strong as Goku. As for speed, I will get back to you on that. I'll also see what I can find about durability. Even though power levels are inaccurate, it's the best we've got. :p
I would at least assume that he can shrug off most gunfire, and even fairly high powered explosions. What he would really have to worry about would probably be lasers, plasma, gauss, and all those other sci-fi type weapons. :p

Yeah. Power Levels despite them seeming like an accurate way to measure power, they were rather inaccurate. As the characters in Dragon Ball Z eventually do learn to sense energy (like a 6th sense of sorts, and was far more reliable), and they even became smart enough to lower their own power. So that it would be harder for devices like Scouters (which were made to track and measure Power Levels) to detect them, and would fool the user of Scouters (as say Gohan would have suppressed his own Power Level, an enemy with a Scouter would read his Power Level as low, believe that Gohan is weak, then Gohan would catch the guy off guard by quickly powering up to full power in an instant, thus getting the upperhand for a brief period of time.)
Also I wouldn't say Bardock is as strong as Goku by end of Series, or even halfway through the series. I'd say Bardock would be as strong as Goku during early Frieza saga. Strong, but not strong enough to take on the likes of Frieza. As for lasers, plasma, and gauss (and other futuristic weaponry). Bardock could probably guard against such stuff if he learns how to use his Ki to form a solid barrier, which depending on how strong the user is with Ki, the barrier could protect against pretty much anything.

Ok going through things and trying to solidify some stuff...
First off: the Void.
Next up: Shrine of Seasons
This shrine existed as a center of the power of four sacred nymphs that embodied the seasons of continent of Mana on Alcyon.
Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water were the four elements that represented the four seasons.
The four nymphs, each one representing one of the four elements, governed the seasons through the shrine.
The Nymphs depicted respectively are
Napaeae
Lampadesa
Aurae
Limnadesa (aka Kiara)
The shrine is divided into four parts, a section for each.
hidden deep within are five Corlaviri Crystals which help control the seasons, four of which are for the individual seasons with one master crystal. If these were removed from the Shrine, the continent's seasons would be thrown into chaosstill not a LoZ: OoS reference.
Each crystal is buried deep within the shrine, typically only accessible through the respective elements.
The master crystal is a keystone that contains a piece of Aurora's code.
There's one thing I'm kinda hesitant about and want to do a quick poll
of the four elements, Fire, Earth, Wind, Water...
Which one do you think represents which season?
I'm leaning towards having water and fire represent winter and summer respectively...
Fall and spring however...eeeeeh....
First off: the Void.

When everything is destroyed, it shall be reborn. Eternity exists for the universe. There is a beginning and an end to the cycle, but it loops forever.
But what if... what if the cycle wasn't truly eternal? What if the cycle did have a definitive beginning and a definitive end? What existed before, and what will exist after the ends of time itself? Nothing.
The void, the absence of existence, of everything. In our reality of existence, the void does not exist, yet it exists as a concept. A paradox in its own right, for to be the existence of non-existence contradicts itself. A maddening concept. Something that is the absolute end of all things that, in of itself, cannot be anything, for it is the very definition of nothing.
And this begs the question, if the void is nothing, then how can it be something?
A race of beings, Caeles, explored the concept of the void, and succeeded in giving this intangible concept a form in our plane of existence.
One of the Caeles ultimately became nothing; an intangible entity. an embodiment of the void.
How is this possible? It should be impossible to give the absence of existence an existence!
And yet, it happened.
Or perhaps it didn't. For there exists no records of this Caeles. The identity of this Caeles has been lost to us. It was as if the existence of this individual has been erased, as if they never existed.
But we know that this Caeles did exist, for we are speaking of it now. So it did exist, but now... it does not.
But again, the paradox still remains. If this one Caeles does not exist, then why do we speak of it as though it did exist at all?
We could try to argue both sides for eternity.
But that raises the last question...
If the void has proof of its existence through the individual Caeles that became the void, then does that mean that eternity itself does not exist if the void came before time itself?
Does this mean that eternity is not forever?
Does this mean that there is an end?
Have we found the edge of eternity?

I think Earth should be Fall, as it's Harvest season, and people harvest plants from the Earth.
Sometimes when you're driving down a road, a bug hits your windshield. It's ugly and unpleasant, but you just activate the wipers / cleaning fluid and it's gone in a few seconds. It's just part of driving down the road. You don't dwell on it, because that'd be silly. Bugs aren't worth the time.
You just discard their guts and keep on driving.
10/05/2014, 04:02 AM #325
yea that makes sense.
Ok I'll just flip those two and this is how it goes now:
Wind -> Spring -> Aurae
Fire -> Summer -> Lampadesa
Earth -> Fall -> Napaeae
Water -> Winter -> Limnadesa (aka Kiara)
The Shrine is in four quadrants pointing in the four cardinal directions with a central hub.
Respective to the list above, the sections go counterclockwise starting at the west.
The regions of Mana also represent this, with the mild groves of the western regions, the arid plains of the southern regions, the temperate forests of the eastern regions, and the frozen mountains in the northern region
The reason the Shrine is in the southwestern forest is due to the abundance of Aura energy there. The forest served as a safe haven for the Nymphs and therefore was ideal for the shrine.
In the western portion of Mana is a tower in the center of the old Kingdom of Luminox that contains a massive Corlaviri crystal known as the Eternal Light, safeguarded by countless barriers.
The eastern portion has another tower deep within the forests of the Dark Mages with a similar crystal known as the Ethereal Darkness. It is not guarded by anything, for in the past, fear was its shield.
The only entrance to the Tower of the Ethereal Darkness is in the City of the Dark Mages, in the peculiar cavern complex immediately below the forest.
Ok going with this concept
The Shrine of Seasons is guarded by a variety of things, including mechanical golemsthat I may be basing entirely on Skyrim's Dwemer centurions
There are 5 varieties of these golems, one for each element plus a neutral type.
(Mima helped with these)
Also the deeper in you go, the more likely the crystals will attempt to protect themselves with possessed armor and maybe even resurrecting the dead.
Each Crystal has a type of guardian (boss)
Earth:
Water:
Fire:
Wind:
And for temporary purposes until something similar is found, the Central crystal is protected by these
Also for possible reference with Nihiliods Adult Phase

Ok so I'm seriously considering this now...
I think it's time for me to join back in to RPs
or at least this.
So I already have one character, Ignis "Grey" Leonares, who is on Nevaraas. I need ideas on how to explain how/why she could get from there to Alcyon.
She has a transport so space travel is fine.
There are unactive "warp gates" in orbit of most planets...
New concept of "Rifts of Time" might explain how she gets from point A to Point B...
Also If I can't get Ignis over, then I have a concept for a new character, Zoe Aquala. She would be trapped in the Shrine, possibly at the end.

@ S1
That's the thing
There's only one detail I have and one possibility
The solid detail is she is the daughter of Kiara Aquala
And if I go by what inspired her (Tomodachi Life) her father would be Nero Pendragon (That tactician guy in EG: SoS with the hidden mouse ears.)
Because she's the daughter of Kiara, she would be a Nymph. high probability that she would be a water nymph like her mother.
Following this train of thought... the reason she might be in the shrine is because it's a part of her duty as being a nymph. She might be trapped in...something.
I can use Tomodachi life to help me figure out her personality... but as a whole, she's in of herself a new concept.

@Cucoo
The Shrine? Do you mean the HOT, or is it a newer location?
Also, I can't wait to see the new character. To be honest, I actually have taken a liking to reading apps. It might be because I have nothing better to do. XD
So how do you think she got there? Did she know her mother? How old is she?

[OOC Board] Eternal Galaxy: Phoenix
It's a new location on Alcyon.
The Shrine of Seasonswhich is totally not inspired by the temple of seasons of LoZ: OoS
Posts 323 and 325 has more on it.
As for how she got there...
Alcyon was Kiara's home planet and if Zoe is also Nero's daughter, who doesn't have a home planet per se
Then Alcyon would be where they would live.
How old...
By this time she would be about as old as Ignis, maybe younger. I have to check but that means 16-19ish
Even though she's been alive as long as Ignis (10,000 ish years)
And this means she survived the end of the Era of Echoes... Which I'm not certain how to explain... Considering I have yet to solidify how the Galaxy comes to the current state with the introduction of the Void.
And did she know her mother? Most likely yes. Probably taught how toNympha tend to the Shrine as a Nymph.
