RP General Discussion

@ S121
Did you read his wiki page I had linked?
The story says he IS Monado...
But...He's more than that at the same time.
He's vital to Monado, I can say that much with confidence since he keeps appearing as that...

Ok checklist compiled

AtWaG

- Shulk: implied he's just listening. I'm thinking about having an enemy after the puzzle is solved that is a Telethia just to give him some time to properly demonstrate his abilities.
- Kenway: Same. He's in the shadows eavesdropping.
- Link: I need to post with him again, aye? Can't remember what the last post was x.x;
- Lisa: I need to post but I can't remember what I was going to do...
- Morgan: I think her mini-arc got delayed now...
- Eleos: I need to post...thinking of having him fall off the edge into the hole.
- Palutena: I think I'm waiting...can't remember...

EG

Infinite
- Same as EG. Need to think of how I can use the information to make things work...

AtWaP

Thinking about diverting Lyrica from going for gym battles to searching for Melodiette (or w/e its name was...can't remember) or something...

I think I'm starting to forget things...what else is there?

Good morning...

@Wriggle

Welcome back! :p





@Cucoo

I don't think I wanna touch that...

@ S121

Really? Strange...

anyway...I'll paste it here then

Spoiler

Alvis (アルヴィース, Aruvīsu, Alviss; English dub: /ˈælvɪs/) is a character from Xenoblade Chronicles. He is a Homs employed by the High Entia royal family as a seer. He is a part of the group several times as a guest.


Colony 6
Alvis' first appearance is at Colony 6, when the group is fighting Metal Face and other Mechon, a Telethia appears and destroys most of the Mechon, distracting Metal Face long enough for Shulk to damage him with the Monado. After this, Metal Face flees with the rest of the Mechon and the Telethia flies away to a distant cliff edge, where Alvis meets and communicates with it.

The Water Crystals
Shulk first meets Alvis in Makna Forest while he was collecting some pure water Ether crystals to heal Melia. They are attacked by a group of Telethia, then Alvis teaches Shulk to use the Purge ability, while demonstrating he can use the Monado with great proficiency. For a single fight, he joins Shulk's party. After the fight, Reyn comes looking for Shulk. Before Shulk can introduce Reyn, he looks back to find that Alvis has disappeared. Reyn jokingly dismisses Shulk's insistence that someone was there and the two head back with the water crystals, while Alvis watches them from afar.

The Seer
Alvis is revealed to be the "Divine Seer" of Sorean Antiqua, the High Entia Emperor. He explains that, since all of the actions in the universe are ruled by the ether, and that ether is calculable in its changes, then all of the actions in the universe can be predicted.

Eryth Sea
Alvis follows the party into the High Entia Tomb, and acts as an adviser.

After a cutscene, it is revealed that Alvis had a vision of the events on Prison Island and the eventual death of the Emperor. He reveals this to the Emperor, who chooses to accept his fate.

After the death of the Emperor, he is seen talking to Zanza, who apparently survived despite his body being destroyed.

When the party leaves Alcamoth for Valak Mountain, Alvis leaves with them, as he is familiar with the region, though he does not say why at the moment.

The Second War
Alvis continues to advise and follow the party through their trek to Valak Mountains. He states that is best to search refuge in the Ose Tower, now called the Sealed Tower. Inside, he reveals that this is where the High Entia locked the Monado. The party realises that this is where the Monado and Shulk were found. Alvis states that all seers must touch the Monado in order to receive their powers, in a ceremony of seers, which is the ritual performed by Alvis's family. He talks with Shulk about the reason of their visions, and how they are a fluctuation that are apart of the future. He also speaks that the Monado exists to disrupt the ether, and hence change the future.

After the party reaches Sword Valley, Alvis leaves to Alcamoth with Dickson, to help Kallian with the assembly of the allied front, and to resume his duties as seer.

He is seen advising Kallian in the Battle of Sword Valley, riding in Kallian's Havres. He warns Kallian of Mechonis' reawakening and leaves with Dickson to join the group. He stays behind with Dickson before the final battle with Egil.

The Rebirth of Shulk
After Shulk is shot by Dickson and Zanza left his body, he is in the passage of fate or in space if you look at the background. Alvis tells Shulk that he can choose his fate and Shulk comes back to save the others from a group of Telethia attacking Colony 6.

Relationship with Zanza
After Shulk defeats Dickson's Telethia, Dickson calls Alvis for help. Alvis is then revealed to be one of Zanza's disciples. He has his own Telethia, just like Dickson. It is called Sani Telethia. When you kill it, he and Dickson escapes with a Telethia.

In Space
After Shulk's final battle with Dickson, the group find themselves in outer space. Shulk hears Alvis saying that soon he must make a choice. Shulk recognizes the voice, but he cannot see him.

The "Computer" Alvis
"I am Monado. I was here at the beginning. And I will proclaim the end." —Alvis

Once the Monado III was created and after beating Zanza for the last time, a light unites the three Monados (Zanza's Monado, Meyneth's Monado and Shulk's Monado). Alvis begins to talk and says that he is the Monado and that Shulk must make a decision; a world with gods or without them. For this decision, Alvis shows Shulk the past, to see what started it all. In this scene, Alvis reveals that he is "the administrative computer of a phase transition experiment facility A.I" that destroyed the universe for Zanza and Meyneth when they were still humans. Shulk chooses a world without gods. Alvis is last seen in a flashback scene, where he says his final words to the group; that this is an endless new world, and there are many forms of life, and that they will walk towards the future together, hand in hand.

Art List
◾Cross Ray - Deals physical damage
◾Lost Ray - Deals a large amount of physical damage

Equipment

None of Alvis' equipment can be unequipped or changed, for the short while he joins Shulk's party when fighting along side him in Makna Forest.

Alvis' weapon is the Claymore, which is a unique sword that looks just like Shulk's old Junk Sword, including its icon.

The rest of Alvis' equipment is the Seacle set: Seacle Cap, Seacle Top, Seacle Gloves, Seacle Bottoms & Seacle Shoes. Like all of Alvis' equipment, none can be moved or changed.

Trivia
Alvis has a symbol, a triangle with circles at each corner, on the back of his clothes that seems to be closely related to Meyneth and her Monado. It is the same symbol found on the triangular chest plate that goes over Fiora's robot body, which seemed to house Meyneth and power Fiora. When Meyneth's double sword Monados combine into one larger sword, the symbol on the hilt of the sword is again this same symbol. When looking at Meyneth herself in her Machina form, she has three large circles in a triangular fashion, which seem to resemble this same symbol and perhaps be the source of it. It is unknown if this symbol is to represent Meyneth, or Meyneth's Monado. However, before at Zanza's death, not only does Alvis speak from both Zanza's Monado and Meyneth's Monado (while both are being held by Zanza), but later on Alvis does state that he is Monado among other things.

@TRXD

I sent Riku to cole and flan to check out who it is. Note that Riku looks exactly like Ansem ,SoD a member of Org. XIII. He even got rhe cloak.

@Cucoo

Ok, much better.

Thank you. :p



I have an interesting question. Would Alvis have the exact same control over the real universe as he would in his universe? Are they the exact same? Maybe the real universe doesn't run on Ether, but on a different system? Maybe the Monados would only have their power if Alvis somehow converts them to use this universe's system? Maybe this universe's system is Chaos Theory? :confused:

What are your thoughts?

@ S121

Considering the story is of how Zanza restarted our current universe, I think it's the same.

The only difference I can think of is that there's no Bionis...

Ether is defined as being the energy of the universe and is sort of like life-force for Zanza
It is the blood of the Bionis and is sort of like "stardust" if you've ever heard of that romantic reference before.
The Monado manipulates this Ether, which is the fabric of existence.

So the main thing is, there would be no Ether Crystals or Rivers since there is no Bionis. Thus, there is no physical Ether. It exists only as the energy of the universe.

EDIT:

It is said many times that ether is the base unit of life and that without it, living beings die. Telethia are able to absorb ether from their surrounding environments as well as living beings like the High Entia; but that skill was only briefly displayed against Melia and her guards. The Monado is said to control the very ether around it, and because of this, the Monado is capable of affecting the entire creation. The move Monado Purge is based on ether. Zanza completes a cycle where all the ether is returned to him and then the world is recreated. If the cycle is not completed in time, Zanza will die. Egil decided to kill Homs to lessen the amount of ether returned to Zanza in the cycle. The Mechon used a wound on the Bionis to extract a liquid capable to dissolve all life born from Bionis.

@Katrix
Neither Cole or Flandre have encountered Ansem SoD so it doesn't matter. But Cole and Flan will initially be hostile towards Riku due to the connotations between Organisation XIII and Corridors of Darkness.

@TRXD

1. The entire Org. XIII was in the lab as the experiments were conducted.
2. He have a black cloak
3. He uses darkness

...thank you subconscious instincts for putting in that last few lines in my last AtWaG IC post.
Things just got interesting...

Oh and Katrix, you implying that Riku and the others in the forest have connections to SCAE (if ye are, thank you so much~)
