Let's just say that if AtWaG were to become a game, this particular mission would be timed.

Funny thing, that. I was thinking about the RP one day and I was going through some equations and percentages that would determine if and when a player would encounter another character or come across a random event. For example, a player would enter a room and find something or someone of interest, or nothing at all. It'll be like rolling a dice in an RPG to see what you get. You could find a useful weapon that has no ammo or a dangerous enemy who decides to help you out just this once.

Also, who is this 'Jack'? Is it Jak from Jak and Daxter, Handsome Jack, Raiden from MGS, or something else?

@ Major

Jack and "Tak" -> Takoizu are both "Children from the future" which you could blame me getting the idea from Fire Emblem Awakening and the fact that S121 and Wriggs had John marry Yukari.

Jack is the product of one of Wonder's OCs and Shikieiki's DNA/Code whereas Takoizu is a natural born daughter of John x Yukari.

@ TRXD

...and I shall say more once I see what you have. :rolleyes:

We're fucking bizarre.

It is up. I'm not sure on how well this would go down or not. Right now, I just want to relax for a bit after all the typing and work.

EDIT: I have discussed this earlier on this thread along with other places so it shouldn't be a big surprise or anything.

What updates are required?

@Cucoo

Well then we'll have to see how everything plays out in the RP. There's no guarantee that everything will be all fine and dandy, but the exact same thing could be said about the other way. There is also no guarantee that it will all be in vain. Just because a certain outcome happened in one game's time traveling scenario, doesn't mean that it will happen again in this RP. Time doesn't have some kind of cosmic entity that tries to correct prevented deaths by killing them in different ways, it just exists. To be honest, there are so many hypotheticals and theories when it comes to time travel, that things can get somewhat complicated when you try to figure out the outcome.

As for Takoizu, I could just say that she practiced and experimented with time travel's consequences by altering smaller, less important parts of it, slowly perfecting the process, as well as figuring out the best way to go about things.

In short, just because it happened in the game, doesn't mean the same will happen in the RP. Each Character plays an important role that will ultimately decide the outcome of the ACO Arc, not a set of predetermined points in time. Takoizu is simply here to facilitate their success, their victory. Simply her being there and telling them about herself could be all the warning they need to be extra cautious in the upcoming Arc and survive.

She completely changes the equation by adding in an extra variable, giving us entirely different results.







@Wriggle

Ran and Patchy from my side.

@ S121

No that's not what I was aiming for.

I was saying that she does one thing, but something happens that she couldn't predict. Even Doctor Who had this.
He got his proper result but something happened that was unfavorable.
Xenoblade: Shulk had a vision and saved Melia, but the Emperor (Melia's Father) still died
Fire Emblem Awakening: Emmeryn still died but Chrom lived without the wound.
Zelda OoT: Link Plays the Song of Storms in the past, learns it in the future repeats and drives the windmill man insane. ...not like we care...

These are the first things I can think of with time travel.

There will be sacrifices. whether they be the ones thought to be saved or others that you wouldn't even think related.

Whaddaya mean Patche? I don't think they specifically asked her anything.

@Cucoo

So I guess you are talking about fate?

@Cucoo

I know where you were going with this, but what I'm saying is that it wouldn't be possible without staging every single part in the RP. This RP doesn't follow the logic of those games because it has so many writers with so many perspectives. The only way that would be remotely possible would be if we ALL aligned our perspectives and planned out the entire arc, but that would take out all the fun of RPing. Not every time traveling story has the same consequences.

You're saying that there would be some things she couldn't predict, and that is true in some aspects, but with the most important parts, she has them all covered. Remember, she can perform mental processes that we couldn't even begin to fathom. Everything we've thought of, she has already thought of and has planned on how to remedy deviations in her plans. I'll use this analogy to explain. She would be a supercomputer from today as we would be old, boxy, analog Macintosh computers. I'm talking about the ones that used floppy drives and made loud buzzing noises when they booted up. Everything we can do, she can do many, many times more precise and faster.







@Katrix

You hit the nail right on the head. What I'm talking about is altering time, but Cucoo is talking about fate. If that's the case, then Takoizu could easily get Remilia to help her.

Truth be told, not even I know the plan. I'm coming up with things as I go along because she already thought of them in advance.

It's hard to RP a character that has almost god-like amounts of intelligence, like an IQ of 5,000,000,000. :p
