IGS Rep Page
Hello everyone, hope we're doing good today. Selling some Humble Bundle keys - reach out if anything perks your interest.
Not sure how region locks work, I'm in Australia. Buyer pays international transfer fees.
May make price adjustments during future reposts, get 'em while they're hot or feel free to stick around and keep an eye out.
Not interested in game or key trades at this time sorry.
Thanks for reading. B)

A handful of years ago, back when my hair was a little less grey, I was working as a junior doctor in a bustling city hospital, clocking 70-hour work weeks and pushing the limits of caffeine consumption. One evening, after an intense 14-hour shift, I was summoned by my senior physician to review a complicated case. The patient was a 60-year-old woman with a myriad of symptoms, but none fitting into the usual diagnostic boxes. Exhausted and admittedly, a little grumpy, I found myself fighting the urge to pass it off as just another case of hypochondria.
Instead, I dug deep into my mental reserves and asked myself: "What would Sherlock Holmes do?" Now, I didn't whip out a magnifying glass and start searching for minute clues, though the thought was amusing, to say the least. Rather, I used the mental model of first principles - breaking down complex problems into basic, fundamental components.
"When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth," Holmes had said. Fueled by this sudden burst of inspiration, I looked at the symptoms individually, seeking connections that I might have overlooked. After hours of poring over medical literature and jogging my memory of past cases, I finally stumbled upon a rare but fitting diagnosis - it was Hemochromatosis, an iron overload disorder.
The relief and gratitude that filled the room when we explained the situation to the patient and her family could have powered a small city. It was one of those moments that reminded me why I got into medicine - to learn, to solve, and most importantly, to help. It also taught me the value of first principles thinking and illuminated just how versatile mental models can be in healthcare.
P.S. Now, don't start picturing me walking around hospital corridors in a deerstalker hat and pipe, muttering profound quotes. This story is a hypothetical illustration of how we can apply mental models like first principles in our daily lives, especially in fields such as healthcare. Remember, when faced with a challenge, sometimes, it's ok to channel your inner Sherlock!

It would not let me post a picture of the antioxidant pyramid, but it is going to be your best friend. This disease is either caused or exacerbated by the loss of the primary antioxidants produced by the body or a deficiency in the diet. The top of the pyramid and is the SOD superoxide anion dimutases considered by some as the master antioxidant, two of which are formed with zinc. A zinc deficiency will diminish SOD1 and SOD3 that are formed by zinc and copper combining together. The next level down on the pyramid are things like glutathione and taurine which are products of the methionine/homocysteine cycle, this cycle breaks down when we are deficient in B12, B6, Folic acid/folate, iron, or zinc. The next level down contains vitamin e that has been implicated in seb derm it can work in tandem with vitamin a to stop lipid peroxidation. If we focus on restoring these antioxidant systems it should ameliorate the redness and skin damage. Many of these also reduce the Th17 immune cell and the IL17 cytokines that respond to fungi/yeast, that trigger skin cell proliferation (flaking). You many have other valid explaination for the cause you are focusing on but if you look deeper into the biology it is likely caused by the loss of these systems.

SO LATE to this recap but it's only because we discussed soooo much between 6 people. AS WE SHOULD! This book, after all, was about the entire history of philosophy. Y'all ready?

I. BOTM Thoughts

• It will come as no surprise to anyone that the author of this book is a high school teacher, it's very clear that the book serves a didactic function aka it aims to teach people about something specific, for example, with allegories, fables, verses about saints' lives, etc.
• It's also clear that it's for teenagers, mainly. A lot of us have already learned about these thinkers in college, and so the way their complex philosophical concepts are explained in this book will seem reductive however that didn't erase the value of having a bird's eye view of this massive topic. It certainly made philosophy more coherent, especially for those who are encountering some or all of these philosophers for the first time with this book.
• Despite its main function being to teach philosophy to young people, it's also just a really fun fictional work! It uses nested narratives to create an ironic, self-aware, and paradoxical story - characteristics of a postmodern genre called metafiction. Sophie and Hilde's adventure helped tide a lot of us through the information overload of all the philosophy we were reading, and that's really why this book is so suitable for those who are just learning about philosophy for the first time.
• Now armed with all those philosophers' ideas, we were able to discuss a lot of deep questions together, including but not limited to: Do we have free will? Does God exist? What happens after we die? What is the meaning of life? What is consciousness? If someone cloned you right now, is that still you or like a different person? Is Freud a sham? Was Charles Darwin a virgin? etc.
• I am NOT going to recap everyone's answers to these questions for obvious reasons (I don't want to develop a brain injury), but I will share some of the theories and concepts that we were able to incorporate into our discussion.
  • Monism vs Dualism came up a lot because some of these questions eventually came down to whether or not you believed that the soul and the body are located in the same place or not.
  • Our epistemological beliefs were also essential in the discussion because this varied per person - e.g. what we considered knowable, the limits of knowledge, what it means to know something, the mechanics of knowing things, etc - and this affected our individual arguments a lot.
  • Spirituality and metaphysical beliefs also influenced our discussion for obvious reasons; these beliefs really live in the core of how we live our lives, so a lot of us used these as a springboard to discuss the philosophical ideas that we learned.
• OK. PS I know this all sounds super academic but I swear it was so chill it was just like regular dudes hanging out, just like a podcast you put on the background when you're doing dishes, just like a friend rambling on about her love life. Philosophy is actually about real life, and that's what I hope we took away from this book !

Although modern humanity will likely never encounter the trials of strength and stamina faced by the mythical demigod Hercules himself, one competition, originating from the world of Strongman sports, replicates the essence of Herculean challenges. This is none other than the “Hercules Hold.”
The Seeds of Hercules Hold History
The Hercules Hold has its roots in the blood, sweat, and iron of Strongman competitions. To truly understand this event, one must peer back into the annals of history. The sport’s origins are as diverse as its participants, with many cultures having their iterations of athletes displaying their physical prowess, from the ancient Highland Games in Scotland to primitive weightlifting in early civilizations.
The modern iteration of the Hercules Hold is a reinterpretation of these age-old contests. Participants must maintain the hold over two hinged pillars, designed to pull away with increasing force, simulating Hercules’s strain in holding apart two mythological beasts. Over time, it evolved into a fan favorite due to its tremendous display of strength and endurance, concepts central to the spirit of Strongman events.
Understanding the Hercules Hold Mechanics
Today’s Hercules Hold is all about a test of grip strength and mental resolve. Athletes stand between two hinged pillars or handles, held arm’s length away from the body. The handles are then released, and slowly but surely, gravity starts pulling them apart. The objective? Hold on as long as possible, grin, and bear the intense strain.
Just possessing brute strength isn’t enough to triumph in this event. It is a test of mind echoing the ancient hero’s resolve. The load on each handle can be up to 350 pounds, and the strongest can withstand it for around a minute – a ticking clock that is both incredibly swift and agonizingly slow to the contenders.
Training for the Showdown for Hercules Hold
Achieving incredible strength and endurance in Hercules Hold requires focused training, strategic approaches, and persistent dedication. Participants must develop a comprehensive strength-building regimen targeting essential muscle groups and building mental resilience. Here are some essential training components for the Hercules Hold:
Grip strength: Central to Hercules Hold, competitors must develop a strong grip through exercises such as towel pull-ups, dead hangs, and fat-grip implements, in addition to the main gripping exercises mentioned above.
Shoulder stability: Exercises such as overhead presses, face pulls, and rotator cuff variations are crucial for building robust shoulders while maintaining joint health. Strong and stable shoulders serve as the foundation for enduring the forces exerted by the Hercules Hold.
Core training: A strong core allows athletes to maintain their balance and body stability during the event. Exercises like planks, cable rotations, and hanging leg raises are important components of preparing for the Hercules Hold challenge.
Large compound lifts: Total body strength is crucial for strongman events. Including compound lifts such as squats, deadlifts, bench presses, and Olympic lifts in a training program supports overall strength development and contributes to specific performance improvements in Hercules Hold.
Mental preparation: Embracing adversity and building mental toughness is essential for overcoming the physical demands of the Hercules Hold. Visualization, goal setting, and mental techniques like mindfulness can help athletes develop the necessary mental strength to endure the event.
Cardiovascular conditioning: Although Hercules Hold primarily tests musculoskeletal strength, having better cardiovascular fitness allows athletes to recover quicker between attempts and maintain composure during the hold. Incorporating both low-impact steady-state (LISS) and high-intensity interval training (HIIT) helps maximize recovery and performance.
Mobility and flexibility training: Maintaining healthy joints for optimal range of motion is crucial to prevent injuries and ensure peak performance. Including stretching and mobility exercises as part of the training program helps safeguard the competitors from potential setbacks.
Safety should be a top priority during training. Competitors must use proper lifting techniques, mobility drills, and progressive overloading to ease into their training and minimize the risk of injuries. Building strength focuses on incremental improvements, and a cautious approach is vital to achieve lasting strength gains.
The Apotheosis of Holds: World Records
Now, let’s look at the stories of the two record-setting titans: Mark Felix, and Laurence Shahlaei.
mark felix hercules hold
Mark Felix: A Deep Dive into His Legacy, Hercules Hold, and other Achievements
Early Life
Birthplace: Born on April 17, 1966, Mark Felix spent his early years growing up in the lively town of St. George’s, Grenada.
Migration: At the pivotal age of 23, seeking better prospects, he made a big leap and emigrated to Rishton, Lancashire in England.
Initial Expertise: Before strongman contests, Felix was dedicated to bodybuilding. Bodybuilding laid down his base, establishing a solid foundation of strength, discipline, and commitment, all of which were instrumental for his future calling.
Profession: Felix was not always a full-time athlete. He crafted a living working as a plasterer before his athletic career, deploying his superior strength and precision in his craft. This occupation inadvertently developed and fine-tuned his gripping strength and muscular endurance.
Mark’s Strongman Journey
Strongman Entry: Recognizing a latent passion, Felix embraced the challenge of strongman competitions at the arguably late age of 37. His entry into this hefty world was marked by a swift mastery over heavy weights and challenging apparatus.
Professional Turn: Felix transitioned from newbie to professional within just a year of first stepping into the strongman arena. He turned pro following the inauguration of the International Federation of Strength Athletes (IFSA) Strongman Federation in 2004.
From Bodybuilding to Strongman: Shifting his focus from bodybuilding to strongman competitions was a bold move in 2003. Despite beginning his strongman journey later compared to other athletes, Felix quickly established himself as a formidable competitor due to his prior strength training.
Significant Achievements
Mark Felix‘s career showcases an array of significant feats, setting him apart as a master of grip strength and an enduring force in the Strongman world:
His career took flight with a third-place finish in England’s Strongest Man in 2004, catapulting him into the strongman spotlight.
In 2005, he clinched the title at the IFSA British Championships, displaying his handling skills across diverse challenges such as the Deadlift, Farmer’s Walk, and the iconic Atlas Stones.
Felix’s prowess earned him second place in Britain’s Strongest Man in 2006. Proving his unflinching perseverance, he competed in The World’s Strongest Man in the same year, landing a commendable fourth-place position in the finals.
From 2008 to 2020, Felix was a regular feature in Europe’s Strongest Man competitions, where he seized third place not once, but twice, in the years 2010 and 2015.
Personal Records
Mark Felix’s praise isn’t just limited to his competition success; his awe-inspiring personal records are a testament to his relentless pursuit of strength:
Gym Records
Squat: Felix displayed his might with a formidable squat of 350 kg or 770 lb.
Bench Press: His upper body strength is highlighted by a substantial bench press record of 240 kg or 530 lb.
Deadlift (without straps): Felix demonstrated his raw pulling power with a commanding deadlift of 405 kg or 893 lb.
Competition Records
Equipped Deadlift: Demonstrating his mettle in a competitive setting, Felix pulled a herculean-equipped deadlift of 420 kg.
Strongman Competition Feats
Hummer Tire Deadlift (with straps): Felix powered through the Hummer Tire Deadlift raising an astounding 511.5 kg or 1,128 lb at the Arnold Strongman Classic in 2013.
Hercules Hold: Felix broke the world record for Hercules Hold at the 2020 Europe’s Strongest Man competition, holding the position for an impressive 92.37 seconds, cementing his legacy as a grip strength legend.
Silver Dollar Deadlift (without a deadlift suit): Felix demonstrated his consistency and durability by lifting 515 kg or 1,135 lb in the Silver Dollar Deadlift at the UK’s Strongest Man competition in 2021.
Mark Felix’s career trajectory resonates with his innate capability to adapt, learn, and continuously redefine his limitations. His grip strength defies his age and surpasses even those competitors more than a decade younger. This enduring strength and legacy in the strongman world have rightfully earned him the title of “The Miracle Man.” Felix represents more than just a holder of the Hercules Hold record; his name will forever be associated as one of the most accomplished, enduring figures in the Strongman community, resonating with the spirit of the sport.

Trials of Titans: Training and Diet for Hercules Hold
Each record holder’s journey to the zenith of this event involves a meticulously planned training regime, a disciplined diet, and, in some cases, performance enhancers.
Mark Felix Workout & Diet for Hercules Hold Events:
Workout Frequency: As a professional strongman, Felix’s training would typically range from 4-6 days per week depending on where he stands in the competition season. Off-season might involve less frequent but heavier sessions, while pre-competition periods could include more frequent but varied training for conditioning.
Routine: A strongman’s routine involves a mix of compound movements like squats, deadlifts, and presses, each performed for 3-5 sets of 3-8 reps to build maximal strength. Felix might integrate specific strongman events training, like farmer’s walks or atlas stones, into his weekly routine.
Grip Training: Mark’s unparalleled grip strength training likely revolves around heavy carries, holds, and pulling exercises with thick handles to mimic the grip challenges of competition. High-rep sets and timed holds could be frequent in his regimen.
Diet: To fuel such intense workouts, strongmen consume upwards of 5,000-10,000 calories per day, split across multiple meals rich in protein (meats, fish, eggs), complex carbohydrates (rice, potatoes, oats), and healthy fats (nuts, avocado, oils), with vegetables providing necessary vitamins and fiber.
Recovery: Active recovery such as mobility work, light cardio, and stretching, as well as passive recovery methods like massages, ice baths, and sufficient sleep, would be crucial to Felix’s ability to train consistently.
Laurence Shahlaei and his Training Before Hercules Hold Contest:
Training Split: Laurence would have likely adhered to a training split that targeted different muscle groups and strongman events across the week, ensuring ample recovery time for each muscle group.
Cardio and Conditioning: His regimen would include cardio and conditioning work like prowler pushes and sled drags, aimed at maintaining the endurance needed for competition events like the Car Walk.
Volume and Intensity: Training would likely alternate between periods of high volume (more reps, lighter weights) and high intensity (heavier weights, fewer reps) to build both muscle endurance and peak strength.
Dietary Regimen: Shahlaei’s diet would be meticulously designed to support both weight management and muscle gain, with a focus on lean proteins, carbohydrates timed around workouts for energy, and healthy fats for hormonal balance and inflammation control.
Recovery and Physiotherapy: As a strongman and a personal trainer, Shahlaei understands the importance of recovery, likely incorporating active rest days, physiotherapy, and rehabilitation exercises into his routine, especially after sustaining injuries throughout his career.
Steroid Usage of Hercules Record Holders
While there is no publicly available evidence or confession regarding steroid usage by these bodybuilders, many speculate that due to the immense pressure and competitiveness at the professional level, they might have used performance-enhancing drugs to gain an advantage.
Mark Felix Steroid Cycle
According to the opinion of pro bodybuilders and fitness experts, Mark Felix might follow a steroid cycle similar to the following:
Testosterone Cypionate: 500-750 mg per week
Deca Durabolin: 300-500 mg per week
Dianabol: 30-50 mg per day
Human Growth Hormone (HGH): 4-6 IU per day
Anastrozole: 0.5-1 mg every other day
It is essential to remember that these are purely speculative and not confirmed by Mark Felix or any official sources.
Laurence Shahlaei Steroid Cycle
Like many professional athletes at the top echelons of their sport, Shahlaei may face speculation about steroid usage or performance-enhancing drugs to maintain a competitive edge.
According to the opinion of pro bodybuilders and fitness experts, Laurence Shahlaei might follow a steroid cycle similar to the following:
Testosterone Propionate: 400-600 mg per week
Trenbolone Acetate: 300-400 mg per week
Equipoise (Boldenone Undecylenate): 200-400 mg per week
Anadrol: 50-100 mg per day
Arimidex: 0.5-1 mg every other day
Again, it is important to note that these steroid cycles are speculative and not verified by Laurence Shahlaei or any official sources.
Mark Felix: Grip Strength Extraordinaire and Record-Breaking Hercules Holder
Mark Felix etched his name in the annals of strength athletics by delivering an awe-inspiring performance in the Hercules Hold at Giants Live Wembley 2019. The defining moment saw Felix surpass the threshold of human endurance as he shattered the existing world record.
The record-setting event unfolded in Manchester Arena, where Felix, with his exceptional strength and tenacity, took on the challenge of the Hercules Hold. The atmosphere was electric. The crowd was rapt with anticipation, knowing they were witnessing a potential record-setting performance.
Surpassing the one-minute mark, which itself is an extraordinary feat, Felix demonstrated why he is an undisputed titan in this discipline. With Manchester’s support, Felix not only eclipsed the previous world record but raised the benchmark to a staggering new height — achieving 1 minute and 27.52 seconds. This feat was not just a victory of the day, but an embodiment of his longevity and supremacy in the sport.
In this iconic event, age was just a number for Felix. His record-breaking grip is a testament to his prowess and unwavering resolve. An athlete ever-present in the global strongman circuit, Felix illuminated Manchester with a performance that will resonate through the ages, bringing the entire arena to its feet, united in a deafening chorus of admiration and awe.
His record stands as a towering benchmark for aspiring strongmen and is a monumental addition to the annals of strength athletics. The visual encapsulation of Felix’s phenomenal hold, the crowd’s support, and the glorious aftermath can be relived through the following links:

You won't believe what happened to me on my way home from work today! I was wandering through the grocery store trying to figure out what to cook for dinner when I found myself in a pickle (although, ironically not in the pickle aisle). I had a date that evening with a guy I really liked, and I was determined to impress him with my culinary prowess. But here’s the catch - I was torn between cooking his favourite, Spaghetti Bolognese, or trying my hand at something more adventurous like a Thai Green Curry. I just couldn't make up my mind!
As I paced the aisles, I realized I was unwittingly applying the principles of the Cognitive Load Theory. This is a psychological model that helps to explain why decisions can be so hard to make when we're overloaded with information or options. In my case, it was a bombardment of ingredients, recipes, and dinner expectations adding up to a heavy cognitive load that was weighing on my decision-making ability.
On one hand, the Spaghetti Bolognese was the safe bet - I knew the recipe like the back of my hand, and it wasn’t too hard to whip up. But on the other hand, the Thai Green Curry was a symbol of my sense of adventure and my willingness to try new things.
Finally, I realized that by continually weighing up the pros and cons of each dish, I was just adding to my cognitive load - it was literally like choosing between apples and oranges, or in this case, pasta and curry. So, I decided to simplify things. I chose to trust my gut and go with the Spaghetti Bolognese. After all, familiarity does breed contentment in this case, and it was his favourite!
So as funny as it sounds, the grocery store became a mental playground where the Cognitive Load Theory came to life. It just goes to show that even in our everyday lives, we're constantly using mental models to make decisions - whether it's choosing an outfit, a route to work, or even what to cook for dinner.
P.S. Just to clarify, I am not in a grocery store at this very moment. This was just a hypothetical story to put the Cognitive Load Theory in context. But hey, it does sound like something anyone of us could go through, right? Also, the date went great, he loved the Spaghetti Bolognese - in case you were wondering!

At the world’s top college of magic and technology, every day brings a new discovery -and a new disaster. The advanced experiments of the college students tend to be both ambitious and apocalyptic, with the end of the world only prevented by a mysterious time loop, and a small handful of students who retain their memories.
Surviving the loops was hard enough, but now, in his senior year, Vell Harlan must take charge of them, and deal with the fact that the whole world now knows his secrets. Everyone knows about Vell’s death and resurrection, along with the divine game he is a part of. Now Vell must contend with overly curious scientists and evil billionaires hungry for divine power while the daily doomsday cycle bombards him with terrorists, talking elephants, and the Grim Reaper himself -but if he can endure it all, the Last Goddess’s game promises the ultimate prize: power over life itself.
[Previous Chapter][Patreon][Cover Art]
Vell blasted through the tentacle of another shoggoth, and kept running before the limb reformed. While the creatures were gelatinous enough that bullets wouldn’t normally harm them, they were so poorly held together that the sharp impact of a bullet splattered their limbs into puddles. The membranous masses would reform eventually, but Vell only needed a few seconds to slip by.
After running past another manufactured shoggoth, Vell examined his options. He was really glad he had taken Helena’s advice and read the supervillain guide more thoroughly, as it contained one indispensable piece of advice: the superweapon was always up. No matter how labyrinthine the underwater fortress became, all Vell had to do was look for a way up. He found a staircase and headed up, hoping this one would finally be the last one.
For once, his prayers were answered. Vell stepped up, slammed open a door, and looked up at a dome of water above.
“Hey! Don’t just go around slamming doors open, this is a submarine!”
Mi Go was standing atop a platform next to a large beam weapon—presumably the very same one that had mutated Vell on the previous loop—and was shouting down at Vell.
“You could have flooded my entire base!”
“You’re the one who built it that way,” Vell said.
“I had to!”
“I know, it’s in chapter five,” Vell said. Every supervillain had to build at least one major structural flaw into their bases, or a self-destruct function. “You could’ve picked a different one! An airlock, or a vent, or something. People open doors, that’s like, the one thing doors are for.”
“Don’t critique my base design, and especially don’t quote that clown to do it,” Mi-Go snapped. “It doesn’t matter. I had the protective dome deployed anyway!”
Vell looked up at the glass dome that separated him and Mi-Go from the dark waters above, and saw those dark waters start to get brighter. He cursed under his breath. Chapter eight: the hero always arrives just barely before the villain begins their plan.
“In mere moments, we will reach the surface,” Mi-Go said, beginning the requisite villain speech. The waters above turned crystal blue, indicating they were near the surface. “Once the dome is opened, I will unleash my ultimate creation, and the entire world will be reshaped into unspeakable horrors!”
Mi-Go threw up his hand and laughed the requisite laugh as the submersible finally breached the surface and rose into the open air.
“You’ll never get away with this, Mi-Go, I’ll- Watch out!”
“Yes, you will watch me as I- oh shit!”
Vell and Mi-Go both dove for cover as a rocket soared through the air and slammed directly into the dome, crashing halfway through it before getting stuck. Once the shards of reinforced glass had stopped falling, Vell looked up just in time to see a hatch opening, and Doc Ragnarok leaping out of the rocket.
“Mi-Go!”
“Ragnarok, you asshole,” Mi-Go said. “I was just about to open the dome. You could’ve waited five seconds!”
Mi-Go angrily gestured to the shattered glass all over the floor, and the massive hole in his dome.
“Do you have any idea how much that’s going to cost to repair?”
“Save it, Mi-Go,” Doc Ragnarok snapped. “Don’t think I can’t tell that raygun is aimed at my base.”
“At my dorm, by the way,” Skye said, as she dropped out of the rocket.
“Skye?”
“Hi Vell,” Skye said. “Quick update, we’re here to help and my dad knows we’re dating now.”
“Oh, okay,” Vell said. “That’s, uh, that’s nice. Sorry for not saying anything earlier, Mr. Ragnarok-”
“Save it for after the shoggoths,” Doc said. Vell took a step forward and narrowly dodged a tendril from a shambling shoggoth rising up the stairwell behind him, as others rose from various openings around the dome.
“Oh, okay, sounds like a plan,” Vell said. “You guys want to handle the ray gun, or should I?”
“For legal reasons, I’m only here to compete with a rival villain,” Doc Ragnarok said. “All the actual hero work is up to you.”
“Stop bantering with the hero, this is my lair,” Mi-Go shouted. “Minions, attack!”
The shoggoths shuffled forward, slimy tendrils at the ready. Doc Ragnarok was not impressed.
“That’s my line,” he said. “Minions, attack!”
The hatch on the rocket he’d entered from opened again, and this time dozens of robotic drones poured out. While most of the drones swooped through the air towards the shoggoth’s, one flew down and dropped a barebones ray gun into Skye’s hands -the stripped down remnants of their “death ray”. Mi-Go was thoroughly unimpressed by the drone swarm.
“You want to threaten me with toy drones and foam darts?”
“Yes, I do,” Doc Ragnarok said, as his drones began to pepper the shoggoths with tiny darts of foam and rubber. “You always were too focused on the ‘mad’ rather than the science, Mi-Go. Your monsters are eighty percent slime, and foam is absorbent.”
The barrage had barely begun, and the shoggoths were already noticeably slower. Dozens of foam darts were absorbing the membrane they needed to move, making the abominations even slower and clumsier than they already were. One of them raged at the annoying assault of the drones, and raised a tentacle to swat them down, only to be met with a blinding red laser to one of its malformed green eyes. Skye smiled confidently as the shoggoth thrashed under the blinding beam.
“And having semi-transparent eyelids makes it hard to avoid a very powerful laser pointer,” Skye said. She aimed the beam at another shoggoth that got too feisty. Though they had multiple eyes to see through, their minds were too dull to process the sensory overload in even one of them.
“You’re a terrible supervillain, Mi-go,” Doc said.
“Why? Because I have a handful of oddly situational weaknesses?”
“No, you imbecile,” Doc continued. “You’re a terrible supervillain because you took your eyes off the hero.”
Mi-Go let out a confused grunt, and turned around just in time to see Vell’s knuckles coming the other way. A single punch to the jaw was all it took to send Mi-Go sprawling over the railing of his ray gun’s control platform. He dropped to the floor as Vell dashed to the weapon, took out one of his revolvers, and fired at anything that looked important. The mutagenic machine let out a few sparks and explosive crashes as vital components were obliterated and the entire device fell dead. Mi-Go regained his bearings and looked up in horror as his attempted superweapon tried to collapse right on top of him.
“Hold on,” Vell said. “I can fix-”
His short-lived attempts to save Mi-Go from being crushed by his own weapon were unnecessary, thanks to Doc Ragnarok’s intervention. He nabbed Mi-Go by the labcoat and pulled him away just before the device crashed down on him. For some reason, Mi-Go did not look happy about it.
“Oh, damn you,” Mi-Go said. “You know every good supervillain is killed by their own creation!”
“I know,” Doc Ragnarok said. “Like I said: you’re not a good supervillain. You can have your ironic death when you’ve earned it. For now…”
Doc Ragnarok let go of Mi-Go’s collar and slapped him across the face.
“That’s for almost mutating my daughter.”
Mi-Go rubbed a sore cheek and spat on the ground near Doc’s feet.
“You’d be better off without her,” Mi-Go said. “Do you think I’d be this angry if you were some second rate villain? You were a legend, Ragnarok, you were inches away from conquering all of Europe! And then that girl-”
“That ‘girl’ is my daughter,” Doc snapped. “We’re supervillains, you imbecile, we’re not here to win, we’re here to challenge -to be a great evil that gives rise to a greater good. And there is no greater good than my daughter.”
Though it was caged within very odd circumstances, Skye still smiled at the sentiment. The good mood was cut short when her father punched Mi-Go in the face, this time knocking him out cold.
“Bastard,” Doc mumbled. “Now, shall we get out of here?”
“Please,” Vell said. “I’ve got shoggoth slime in my underwear.”
***
Dean Lichman rubbed partially decayed temples as Mi-Go’s aquatic fortress was towed away.
“Kim, tell me, is everything I plan doomed to go this way?” He lamented. “It seems like I can’t host any kind of event without...this.”
He gestured to the massive skull fortress as it drifted away. Kim shrugged.
“I think it’s just how things go around here,” Kim said.
“I’m glad you were on hand to stop it, at least,” Dean Lichman said.
“Oh, yeah, do me a favor, don’t tell Vell and the other guys I cut the power like ten minutes before they had their thing,” Kim said. “Apparently it was all kind of dramatic, I don’t want them to feel like it was a waste of energy.”
“I don’t think I’ll have a problem never talking about this again,” Dean Lichman said.
“It’s not all bad,” Kim said. “You still got your hosting fee, and the Supervillain Union is taking care of cleaning up Mi-Go’s unauthorized base, so you’re still in the black.”
“The things I do to keep this school afloat,” Dean Lichman sighed. He shook his head one more time and wandered away from the sorry sight. Kim watched the skull fortress drift away for a few more seconds, then left as well, heading for the senior dorms. The disassembly and cleanup of Doc Ragnarok’s lair was just about done, which meant it was the perfect time to show up and pretend to be helpful. Kim strolled past a few drones hauling away death ray parts and leaned on a wall near Vell.
“Need a hand?”
“Maybe with some heavy lifting, but we’re just about done,” Vell said.
“I told them we should’ve just used the self-destruct,” Doc Ragnarok said.
“Not while it was connected to my dorm, dad.”
“It was a non-explosive self-destruct,”Doc Ragnarok said. “A swarm of nanobots would’ve disassembled-”
“And then we’d have half a ton of iron filings to vacuum up all over the building,” Skye said. “Just drop it, dad.”
“It just feels wrong. Supervillain lair’s aren’t meant to be disassembled, they’re meant to be self-destructed, or destroyed by the hero.”
“Well technically, I am the hero,” Vell said, as he pried some paneling off a wall. “And I am destroying it.”
“Ha! That’s true,” Doc Ragnarok said. He unplugged one last bit of circuitry and shut down a container of bubbling fluid. Vell had asked about the purpose of the bubbling fluid earlier, and apparently it was solely for aesthetic reasons. Every supervillain lair needed glowing lights or bubbling vats, according to Doc Ragnarok.
“Anything else we need to unplug?”
“No, that should be the last of it,” Doc said. “The robots can handle the busywork from here. Ah, not including you, Ms. Kim, unless-”
“I get it,” Kim said. “I’ll leave it to the drones.”
Kim said goodbye and headed back to her dorm, while Skye led the other two back to hers. Vell found his way to the couch and fell onto it with an exhausted sigh.
“Sorry you didn’t get your thwarting, Doc.”
“Quite alright, whooping Mi-Go was more than enough fun to make up for it,” Doc Ragnarok said. “Besides, I get thwarted for a living. This was all just an excuse to visit my daughter, and on that front I’m doing very well.”
Doc looked at Skye for a moment, and then focused his attention on Vell.
“On that note,” Doc said. “You two have been dating for a year, then.”
Both halves of the couple pursed their lips and made awkward eye contact for exactly five seconds. Skye bit the bullet.
“Yeah, we met through, uh mutual friends, hit it off, had some common interests,” Skye said. “Vell met Roxy Rocket, you know, has a guitar autographed and everything, we could-”
“Don’t try to tempt me with my love of Roxy Rocket,” Doc Ragnarok said. “I have a question, and I want you to answer me honestly, Skye.”
She grit her teeth and prepared for the worst.
“Why didn’t you tell me?”
That was not the worst, and Skye was not entirely prepared for it.
“A lot of reasons, I guess,” Skye said. “At first it’s because it’s a new thing, you know, not really worth mentioning, and then later on it gets awkward to bring up, or I got worried you wouldn’t like him, or I didn’t know how to start the conversation.”
“I’m your father,” Doc said. “I want to know what’s happening in your life, especially if it’s a boy you like enough to fight Lovecraftian monsters for!”
“You never asked!”
Father and daughter fell silent together. Vell considered stating the obvious, and wondered how best to say “you have some communication issues”. A sudden burst of laughter told him they might have come to the same conclusion on their own.
“Alright, you’ve got a point,” Doc said. “I’ll try to call more.”
“And I’ll try to talk more when you do,” Skye said. “Just mind the timezones. Last time you called from the himalayas you woke me up at one in the morning.”
“Ah. Well, I can imagine why you didn’t update me on that particular occasion,” Doc said. He slapped the arm of the chair he was sitting on and turned to Vell. “Sorry you got dragged into all of this.”
“No problem. I get dragged into everything,” Vell said. “At least this one helped Skye.”
“See, this is why I’m glad you two met,” Skye said. “If I had asked any other boyfriend to do this, they’d have dumped me on the spot, and if any other dad had met a guy like Vell, he’d never approve.”
“Birds of a feather, as they say,” Doc said.
“The name alone must be a pretty big hurdle for most guys,” Vell said. “How do most people react when you tell them your dad’s name is Doc Ragnarock?”
“I don’t,” Skye said. “His-”
“Now, don’t you dare, I have carefully cultivated a persona-”
Skye ignored the warnings and barreled through.
“His name’s Melvin.”
“Why?” Doc Ragnarok/Melvin pleaded. “Skye, please, respect the kayfabe.”
“With normal people, fine,” Skye said. “But Vell is my boyfriend, and my boyfriend gets to know my dad the guy, not my dad the supervillain.”
“Fine,” Doc said. “Fine. Okay. My name is...Melvin Lewis.”
“We can stick with Doc, if you like,” Vell said.
“Yes, please, good lord,” Doc Ragnarok said. “Nobody’s called me Melvin since my mother passed.”
“Got it. So, uh, other than supervillaining, what do you like to do?”
“Not a lot, honestly,” Doc said. “That’s the problem with loving what you do, it kind of makes it seem like you don’t have hobbies. I’m either doing supervillainy, or planning supervillainy, or writing about supervillainy, you get it.”
“Well, your book was great,” Vell said.
“Oh, thank you,” Doc said. “Actually, come to think of it, I’ve been meaning to do a collaborative work, really exploring the hero/villain dynamic from both sides of the aisle. Would you be interested in providing some notes?”
“I’m not exactly a traditional ‘hero’, but I could give some soundbites, yeah.”
Doc Ragnarok pulled out a tablet and started taking some notes on Vell’s antics. Skye watched from the sidelines with a smile on her face that was only occasionally interrupted by Vell describing how to properly execute a chokehold on a yeti.

Been on therapeutic dose of TRT for 25 years, resulting in 300-400 ng/dl. No BP meds until recently. BP 130/90 to 150/95. Stopped recently due to higher BP and problems with new BP meds and elevated GGT. The GGT is currently 100 u/L. It was previously 50-60 u/L without testosterone, 70-80 u/L with TRT. Unknown if a bile-duct disorder exists. Current labs negative except for GGT. The ESR is lately elevated at 30-44mm/hr. Non-drinker, non-smoker. Lost all natural testosterone production decades ago. Put on T Cyp late 1990s, then topical gel in 2012, then T Enanthate. Lisinopril then added for BP, but gave GERD. Replaced with Losartan, which failed to work. Replaced with Telmisartan, which resulted in debilitating lack of energy like flu and difficulty breathing. Next lab showed raised liver enzymes, ALT, AST, GGT, then quit ALL meds. Enzymes normalized except for GGT. Possible DILI from Telmisartan? Predisposed to cholestasis? Recently had a high BP episode with headaches and needed a BP med, so rechallenged with Lisinopril and GGT rose to 121 u/L. Quit Lisinopril and GGT lowered to 103 u/L, then 100 u/L. Still not down to normal range. Stats: 68" tall, 195lbs. 60M. Elevated estrogen. TSH = 4.0 mU/L. Multiple thyroid nodules. High TPO. HgA1c=5.5%. D-Dimer normal off of T but elevated on TRT. Mild pancreas atrophy. Two stable liver hemangiomas VS focal nodular hyperplasia. Mild NAFLD.
Requested opinion: Resume TRT or not with unknown cause of raised GGT. TRT will likely require reinstitution of some type of BP meds. Concerned about possible PBC or PSC. No lab/imaging indications.
Note: Urologist RX'd Arimidex which lowered estrogen. Seemed to lower GGT to 45U/L however RDW climbed several points above normal. Unknown significance. TRT seemed to lower ferritin. Useful since I tend to have iron overload without DX for hemochromatosis, but do have one minor gene for it.
Extremely hard to lose bodyfat or preserve bone health without TRT. Normal DEXA on TRT, but off TRT, DEXA scans showed osteopenia which became osteoporosis. Any suggestions for androgen replacement without stressing liver, biliary, pancreas, BP ? Does Arimidex give a false negative or an actual lowering of GGT? Thank you in advance.

G'day, been a while since I've been on here. Looking to sell some old keys I've had lying around in my Humble Bundle. Don't understand region locks, I'm in Australia.
Buyer covers transfer fees, I hope you find something you're looking for. May add prices manually if I get the chance. :)

"Here he is; Our Lovelorn Phantom, the Bewitching Blaze Survivor, Herald of the Heart and Phoenix of Passion. The Enigma of Eros, Cel Aria."

Bio
Name: Celestial "Cel" Amare Aria	Date of Birth: June 6th
Age: 18	Gender: Male (He/Him/His)
Sexual Orientation: Homosexual	Nationality: American
Race: Brazilian-Caucasian (French)	Fatal Flaw: Wrath
Demigod Conundrums: ADHD and Dyslexia	Hometown: Scarsdale, New York

His name was given to him by his mom. She told Cel that he would 'grow to shine brighter than the stars.' "Amare" means "Love" in Latin, it was given to him by his father for reasons unknown. Cel believes it serves as a reminder that "love" is always with him.
Family Members

Family	Age	Description	Relationship
Father: Eros	Old enough to steal your girl	The god of Love, Desire, and Pleasure.	Cel finally had the pleasure of meeting his father after falling into a coma. It goes without saying, but Cel loves him with all of his heart and wants to make him proud. Eros is proud that Cel is growing and loves him. He's even blessed Cel's relationship with Seth, if you can believe it! Their relationship is probably closer than most demigods with their immortal parents.
Mother: Andrea Aria-Almeida	45	An emergency room nurse practitioner. She looks no older than 25 and is one of the most gentle and caring women you'll ever meet. Her arms are open to all who are in need.	Andrea always made time for Cel in his childhood. She is a strong woman, a First-Generation immigrant with a strong work ethic who taught her son to always be kind and thoughtful. She loves son and would move the Heavens and Earth for him if she could, and vice-versa.

Family is an important facet of life, especially to Cel. Once he learned the words 'mom' and 'dad' he began to daydream what it would be like to meet his own father. After talking to Eros he still wasn't satisfied and would give anything to talk with him again! He holds each of his family members in high regard and keeps in contact with them as much as he can! He consistently writes letters to his mom while at Camp and is planning to attend NYU in the Fall in part to stay close to her.
"Yeah, he's basically obsessed with me. Got him eating out of the palm of my hand." - Seth Westley
Friends/Relationships

Name	Relationship	Description
Seth Westley	Boyfriend	[Redacted]
David Ruiz	Best Friend	A friendship forged in the fires of love and war. That should be a metaphor, but David and Cel quite literally became friends through constant clashing of their respective powers in an effort to train. What began as a mentor-mentee relationship blossomed into a strong friendship that could last even a Styx Oath. Cel is so proud of the man that David has become and is so happy to call him his friend. He's had some pretty bad experience with mentors, and David made up for all of that. Together, with Jules, they make up 1/3 of Triple Threat.
Jules Morgan	Best Friend2	It began on a fateful day when a motorcycle lunatic crashed into a tree and began crying over his lost love. Cel offered to show him around Camp and the rest is history. Jules has made Cel countless prototype weapons for testing. Some that work, others that don't, and many that probably violate some kind of international war laws. Cel has watched this guy grow (metaphorically, not literally) from a machine crazed sociopath into a machine crazed sociopath with a girlfriend. Any time with Jules is sure to be a riot, with a bunch of insults sprinkled in for good measure. With David, the three boys make up Triple Threat, their brotherhood.
Walker Marshall	Aged (emphasis) Ally	Both of these guys have been around for an insanely long time. Walker was at Camp Half-Blood before Cel even got there, so they've known each other for a while. Cel is trauma bonded to him after everything that happened with the Son of Metis (see; statues, Medusa, etc). He views Walker as a strong ally, and a loyal friend. They had their rough patches during the aftermath of the war over the throne of Olympus but all of that is water under the bridge now. It's hard to keep friends at Camp Half-Blood, people always come and go, sometimes never coming back. Cel is grateful for that constant southern drawl he knows is always around the corner at the Demeter cabin.
Sadira Andersen	Budding Buddy	This little one somehow managed her way into Cel's dreamscape after his mysterious three-month blip from reality. She saw deep cut secrets that Cel didn't share with the world. Trauma of his past that eats at him every day. The girl is the mediator and Cel wants her to focus on being a kid. They don't know each other well, but Sadira is definitely on Cel's radar. She may not know it, but he's looking out for her.
Quincy "Quinn" Rockford	Crabby Comrade	Quinn is an enigma to Cel. One moment, they're brash and abrasive like the back side of a sponge, the next a broken child trying to heal parental trauma. Cel gave Quinn a present for Christmas because he wanted to let them know they were seen. He let them know about the secret burrow of bunnies near the Eros cabin as well. Cel understands their abrasiveness and respects it, but also keeps his distance because of it. You can't help someone who doesn't want it, and Cel isn't going to drag himself through the thorns of Quinn's attitude until they're ready to open up. He's always there for the kid, though, they just need to say the word.
Amelia "Mel" Hayes	Tattooed Twin	Another friend as old as Cel's time at Camp. Amelia is a constant laugh, her personality is crazy and infectious. Together in a trip to Atlantic City they both shoplifted an entire store (love and humor) then proceeded to get tattoos together. If Cel needs a partner in crime, aside from Seth, he knows he can always count on Amelia for a good time. He loves hearing her shout insults from across the way and the roar in her iconic laugh. There's nothing better than a good laugh, after all.
Harper Morales	Magazine Mate	Since meeting Harper has been nothing but kind to Cel. She was there after the entire Capture the Flag debacle when Lupa Hines punched him in the face for his emotional assault. It was a rough time, what with Seth not talking to Cel and a lot of irritation at his powers going around, but Harper was such a breath of fresh air in that trying time. Her personality always has Cel feeling light and happy. He's constantly impressed by her work with The Camp Half-Blood Chronicle. He's even thought about stealing her for his own magazine.
Booker Fink	Prankster Pal	New friends never hurt, it was always an avenue for new beginnings. Cel first met Booker when he decided to throw lightning bolts at Cel's boyfriend. But- that was training, Cel couldn't blame him for anything that happened during training. They reunited at David's birthday party and seemed to hit it off in an smooth way. Booker seems to want to train with Cel. Cel wants to hear more about what past came with Booker. Who knows where their friendship will grow from here.
Caspian Kaito	Nostalgic Neighbor	These two have a complicated history. Within the first five minutes of Cel meeting Caspian he zapped him with love magic. A weird crush ensued shortly after... which made things awkward for the two boys who otherwise would've have an amazing friendship. They fought alongside each other in the War for Olympus when the Son of Metis returned, burying the hatchet and forging a friendship on its grave. Cel attended Cas' graduation and wished him well into adulthood. He often wonders how the guy is doing now...

Description:
"It's so easy to get lost in those red eyes." - David Ruiz

• A visage of his father, some even may even for the other. Passerby who have met Cel describe him as one of the most striking people they've ever seen. The son of love turns heads wherever he walks. His face is a mastery of divine artisanship. Smooth, as if he was sculpted directly from marble by the great artisans of past with perfect symmetry. His tanned skin is soft, lacking any imperfections of the sort. His lips were the color of fresh rose petals and give way to the most illuminating, tantalizing grin some may ever see. It casts an inviting, enticing light on any who lay their eyes on him and held the power to warm the coldest of hearts and disarm the fiercest foes. This smile is both mischievous and sincere, imbued with a flirtatious charm so infectious that you can't help but smile back. His most captivating feature, though, are his deep red eyes. Intensely red like the embers of a dying star or the last traces of a sunset dipped in fire. A color so deep its like every valentine in the world was drained and distilled into one vibrant mixture. These eyes are a paradox of loving warmth and imminent danger, smoldering with unimaginable depth that seems to dip into the very soul of whoever Cel casts his gaze upon. Half-lidded and flirtatious, it is a gaze so hypnotic that sometimes the entire world falls away and you become the sole focus of his universe. His hair is a cascade of silky strands the color of valentines chocolate. A strand never out of place, always appearing painstakingly styled yet moving effortlessly with Cel's every action. It framed his face perfectly, accentuating each and every feature to bring it to life. He stands tall, exuding a presence that commands attention and respect. His body is sculpted with lean, defined muscles that speak of agility and strength, a testament to his prowess in battle and his divine heritage. Each movement he makes is fluid and graceful, a dance of power and elegance that mesmerizes all who watch him. His hands are both delicate and strong, with long, tapered fingers that move with an almost magical grace. Whether he's wielding a weapon or simply reaching out to a friend, his movements are always precise and elegant, hinting at his extraordinary control and dexterity. Those who get close enough to him may even notice he smells faintly of chocolate. Cel Aria is a intoxicating blend of divine beauty and otherworldly charm, a welcoming smile that leaves everyone who crosses his past feeling uplifted. A demigod whose appearance and presence leave an indelible mark on the hearts and minds of all who encounter him.
• In the past Cel never cared much for his attire. As he's grown and weaved his way through the life, he gained an increased interest in the world of fashion. Now his closet is nearly bursting at the seams with clothes of each and every category, from thrift store to designer boutique, and even some from the bottom of a dumpster. He often opts for a comfortable, yet stylish outfit in his day-to-day. However, finding Cel wandering the campgrounds in sweatpants or a workout outfit is far from uncommon. Even if he has become somewhat of a fashionista, nothing beats the classics.

Equipment/Accessories:

• Amare and Virtus: Twin-knives enchanted by Brandon to turn invisible whenever Cel does. Sadly, the knives only stay invisible when they're in his hands. Whenever they aren't in use, they appear as beaded bracelets on his wrists.
• Eros' Ring: A ring given to Cel by Eros. It's now Cel's most prized possession as it was given to him straight off of his father's hand. It's rose gold with grey in the middle and fits Cel's ring finger perfectly.
• Heart-Breaker: Cel's celestial bronze sword with a small, ring shaped hole through the base. A normal sword from the armory that doubles as a ring in its dormant form. When Cel needs to change between the forms, he flips ring to make it into a sword. To go back to ring form, he slides his finger through the hole at the base.
• Heart-Seeker: A gift from Cel's friend Jules. It's a simple compound bow with a matching a magical bracelet. It's mystical gimmick is that the arrows it fires home in on targets. The lock on mechanism is through the bracelet, which cools slightly on Cel's wrist once he finds a target. It's dormant form is an bow shaped charm that hands from the bracelet. It's activated by pulling the charm off the bracelet.
• Boots of Aria: Greaves gifted to Cel by Simon. When he crouches, his jump gets exponentially stronger. When jumping from a full crouch he can jump 6 feet in the air! ___ # Abilities and Skillset

"I hear the training dummies actually line up to be his target." - Harper Morales
Abilities:
Domain:

• Amokinesis - "Love's Puppeteer" - The ability to manipulate a target's emotions, specific to the domain of the user's godrent. (For Eros - Love Manipulation/Amokinesis).
  • This is Cel's bread and butter ability. As the son of Eros, Cel has a great deal of control over his father's domain. He is incredibly proficient with his amokinesis and can manipulate a person's love and their desires to fold to his whims.. From giving them a hormonal overload, to enhancing their attraction, even turning a flicker of interest in a person to an inferno of passion or removing a persons will to fight, all are possible with the power of love.
• Emotional Fortitude - "Sanctuary of the Mind" - A trait where some children of Emotional gods are immune to magical attempts at changing or manipulating their emotional and mental ability. This does not mean demigods with this trait are immune to non-magical means, however. With enough experience, users can share this immunity with others—one other for intermediate users, and two others for masters.
  • An evolution of Cel's amokinetic powers. His familiarity with the manipulation of emotions has lead to him becoming immune to magical attempts to mystify his mind. Tough luck to anybody who wanted revenge.
• Scent Manipulation - "Essence Weaver" - The ability to manipulate fragrances. Although beginners are only capable of dissipating or spreading a smell, intermediate users are capable of manipulating their own scent to mimic fragrances they have encountered previously. Many users have been observed using this power for stealth and concealment, to avoid alerting wild animals when hunting, to confuse monsters in combat, and to segregate waste more efficiently. Masters of this ability have been known to mimic powerful and exotic smells, like those associated with monsters. That said, these fragrances are approximations at best and cannot be used to copy the unique scent of an individual.
  • This is a new one for Cel. The ability to manipulate his own smell and the smells around him is odd, a foreign ability. He's not sure how it manifested, but is grateful to his father for the blessing. Hopefully Cel will begin to gain a master over it soon.

Godrent Minor:

• Summon Bow and Arrows - "Archer's Call" -The ability to summon a bow and a quiver of arrows. The user can produce up to 10 of arrows at any given time, but they are fragile. After 30 minutes (5 turns), they will dissolve and leave no trace. Though made of iron and wood, these weapons are still capable of slaying monsters.
  • When Cel focuses he can summon a bow into his hands or arrows nocked into his bowstring. He likes to think of it as a blessing, or allowance, from his dad. It really comes in handy in a pinch!
• Arrow Enchantment - "Cupid's Quill" - The ability to enchant an arrow such that it can induce a particular emotion in the target. The arrow appears gold if imbued with love magic, and it appears leaden if imbued with apathy magic. When a person is hit by these arrows they do not sustain any physical damage, although they will still feel pain from the impact. The affect fades after a small period. If the arrows fails to meet a target it causes a small explosion.
  • A new gift from Eros which allows Cel to imbue his amokinetic powers into arrows. This allows Cel a new outlet for utilizing his emotional powers to incapacitate enemies without expending energy.

Godrent Major:

• Invisibility\* - "Vanishing Act" - The ability to turn invisible, including one's attire and held items.
  • The most iconic ability in Cel's arsenal and, arguably, one of the most powerful. Countless mischievous acts have been made possible because of the invisible man. Being able to disappear has turned Cel into a deadly stealth fighter.
• Sensory inhibition - "Sensory Saboteur" - The ability to inhibit the senses of a target. Should this effect take hold, it will wear off after 12 minutes (2 turns).Although this power is most associated with temporary blindness, other symptoms include dampened hearing, clogged noses, etc.
  • Cel's ability to temporarily blind his foes has grown to now impair other senses. While stealing sight is the easiest for him to do, Cel is slowly learning and becoming more comfortable with mangling the other senses of his opponents. He hopes to master the sense of hearing next.

* Denotes modmail/custom power.
“Uh, what do you want me to say about him again?” - Booker Fink
Skillset

• Gymnastics: Cel was in gymnastics for a few years when he was younger. He can still do a backflip! This helps him do acrobatic movements while he fights.
• Knifework: Playing with knives is generally frowned upon, but anything goes at Camp Half-Blood. Cel has become incredibly skilled with dual-wielding knives, as well as throwing knives. Practice makes perfect! and, while Cel may not be perfect, he has definitely improved over time. He can carve nearly anything!
• Swordsmanship: Cel has added sword play to his repertoire of fighting skills. While he is no master, Cel is definitely able to hold his own with a blade, even against the likes of David Ruiz.
• Archery: Cel is a natural archer! His aim is perfect and he can make some of the most difficult shots look easy. A bow is definitely the weapon that Cel finds the most comfortable in his hands.
• Basketball: Not pro-level, but Cel isn't bad. Basketball is his favorite pastime outside of training and video games in his cabin. He'd always dreamed of playing varsity basketball in high school and achieved it just this past year,
• Fashion: Cel has gained an eye for clothes. He enjoys perusing catalogs and store windows, looking for the next exciting piece to add to his collection. ___ # Personal Information

"Cel doesn't need to flirt; he just breathes and people fall head over heels for him. It's ridiculous." - Amelia Hayes
Personality:
Where the was once uncertainty masked in the frame of an insecure kid there is now a confident, strong young man. Cel has come into his own, accepted his divine heritage, and found confidence in who he is. He stands tall and proud, his head held high with a smile and light that could rival the sun. He's playful, flirtatious, even. Talking in smooth tones that could soften even the coarsest personalities. Cel enjoys having fun conversations with friends. He'll talk animatedly about subjects for hours with those he's close to.
His mischievous smile isn't just for show. Cel enjoys finding fun things to do that may not necessarily be the best. A trait he gained from his father, who was known for causing lots of mischief. (Looking at half the myths about Zeus' affairs). If someone suggests a midnight snack run, Cel will offer to lead the charge (invisibility does come in handy).
Never one to shy away from a challenge. He has been known to get into trouble with his fellow campers for taking things (in their opinion, of course) a bit too far in friendly camp games. Cel is competitive when it counts, but never a sore loser. He loves when the people close to him are having a good time. Cel is the life of the party, and often the planner. Gatherings with those he's close with are some of the most joyous moments for the son of Eros. Nothing is better than having you friends around.
His friends are regarded with the utmost care. When Cel loves someone, he truly does and tries his best to be there for them in any way. New people and new friends are always something Cel looks for. He is personable, always finding ways to make the person he is talking to feel like they are his entire focal point for the time they are together. When faced with a problem, Cel no longer will shy away from straight-up confrontation, preferring to handle issues outright then letting them stew into an even more poisonous problem.
"One time, he punched me in the face." - Quincy Rockford
Cel's Spotify Playlists:

• Vibey and Thrivey - Vibey songs.
• bop it - Bops, of course.

"One time he rescued me from the wreckage of a burning bike, and the bike was only the second hottest thing there." - Jules Morgan
Fun Facts

• Cel is ambidextrous because he broke his arm when he was 7.
• He smells somewhat like decadent chocolate.
• When Cel blushes his face doesn't get red, however his eyes turn light pink!
• If he was going to eat his last meal on death row, Cel would want a Churrasco style Brazilian steak dinner.
• Cel is fluent in Portuguese (as well as French due to his divine heritage).
• There is a birthmark shaped like a 'fat duck' (according to young Cel) on the back of his armpit.
• He named his dog 'Bowser' because he wasn't allowed to play Mario as a kid.
• Before a basketball game Cel has a habit of tapping his shoes together twice like in the Wizard of Oz. He also won't buy any basketball shoes other than red ones.
• Cel's nerdy micro-obsession is the history of Cleopatra and her love life. ___ # Backstory

"Determined, strong... very kind. You can count on him to have your back, and that... means a lot." - Sadira Andersen
When Cel was born and Eros subsequently had to leave Andrea alone to raise a child on her own, his mother made it her mission to make sure her son knew he was loved. His childhood was relatively normal. No monsters followed him around and Cel found that he had a lot of opportunities afforded to him, more than other kids. Teachers always said he was such a joy to have in class and the other kids seemed to be drawn to him, wanting to be his friend.
As Cel found his way to Camp Half-Blood, he was immediately swept up into countless events. His first experience with true danger was in The Olympics where Cel was tasked with venturing to the underworld and capturing Cerberus, the guard dog of Hades. His group failed the task and one of his former friends was cursed by the river god, Acheron, in exchange for their safe return home. This event proved to Cel just how weak he was, and just how easy it was to die trying to play the hero when you could barely grasp how to use your powers. Cel swore that he wouldn't allow himself to be that weak any longer and sought to grow stronger. He found himself training under one of the most sadistic beings at Camp Half-Blood, the former Hades counselor Derek Ward. For some reason, Ward had an intense dislike for the son of Eros, but he trained him nonetheless. It was brutal, Cel almost died a few times, but it definitely turned him into a stronger person.
The first test of Cel's resolve as a hero came when he found himself on a quest to Ikaria in order to find the entrance to the newly reopened labyrinth. Upon their arrival, many things happened including Cel yelling at the guide sent to them by Pasiphae, goddess of the maze. This led to his group having to venture into Ikaria on their own to find the entrance of the maze. The trio found their way to the junkyard of Hephaestus where Talos tried to kill their party. With help from the luck-empowered Felix Branwen, Cel was able to shoot an arrow directly into Talos' control panel, stalling the automation to give his fellow quester's enough time to run into the labyrinth for safety. Cel, however, was burned alive by the automations fire where he was sent into a magical coma and confronted by Bellerophon. A deal was made between the forces of Pasiphae and Cel, where he swore a Styx Oath of fealty to them in exchange for them healing the burned Son of Eros. However, some good did come from this coma as Cel was finally able to meet his father. It was, quite literally, the greatest moment of his life.
After arriving back at Camp, a whirlwind of events happened. Camp was attacked by statues, Zeus cursed the Apollo campers, and Seth charmed his way into becoming Cel's boyfriend. Eventually, life settled down and everything went back to business as usual. Life, it seemed, would remain calm. But demigods never held calm for long.
Cel enjoyed a long period of peace without much happening. He met David and Jules and the trio instantly became close. They went on some jobs together, Cel did some on his own. He and Seth enjoyed each other's company daily. Camp Games were quite fun, even if they did sometimes end in a loss and with you getting socked in the face by a scorned rival. Overall, though, Cel didn't have much turbulence in the time before his senior year. That is until he accepted a job to investigate an anomaly. Together, with David and Ciara, Cel ventured into the unknown and the trio disappeared for a three month long blip with no explanation. When they returned with no explanation, turmoil hit Cel's relationship. He and Seth suddenly found themselves at opposite ends of a seemingly endless chasm. None of Cel's friends were able to offer him any consolation for what happened, Cel's own brothers even ignored his problems. Eros, for the third time in Cel's life, met him and gave him his blessing. He assured Cel that everything would end up all right, that there was beauty even in the pain life brought. So, Cel left Camp and returned for his senior year. He accomplished his dream of playing for the varsity basketball team, established a fashion magazine with his friends, and got up to some of your average demigodly shenanigans (near expulsion, anyone).

Now

It was odd spending his birthday in New Argos, definitely not how Cel envisioned his eighteenth. When Cel thought of eighteen he saw a massive party with his friends on the beach, Seth at his side with loud music and fun outfits. They'd all dance and eat some of Cel's favorite foods, tearing it up all night until the sun came back into the sky. New Argos was a far cry from the beach at Camp Half-Blood. Some of his friends weren't even there to help celebrate. So, yeah, it wasn't ideal. But Cel was going to make the most of it.
He gave invites to every camper that came to New Argos for the games, no room for discriminating between guests when the pickings were slim. It was going to be a party at New Argos' version of Central Park. As a New Yorker, Cel found the park to be less cool than the real thing, but it would have to do for now. Some decorations were set out on tables, pizza boxes were stacked high, and games borrowed from Harper's sleepover available for play. Cel wasn't dressed in anything super flashy, a simple 'Bluey' themed oversized t-shirt and black shorts. He wasn't worried about looks tonight, all he wanted was to have a good time.
A large speaker was blasting his favorite tunes as Cel waited for the guests to show up. Hopefully they would, nobody wants to spend their birthday party alone!

The battle system uses a discrete time ATB system. A combatant gets to act once their "Action Points" reach 0. So long as no combatant is able to move, time passes one "tick" at a time. Every tick, each combatant updates their Action Points via New AP = Old AP - Effective Speed. You can track your AP using the turn order gauges for your characters. A full gauge represents 0 AP and an empty gauge represents a variable amount of AP based on that character's last action and other factors.
Example 1: If Seth is at 225 AP and has 30 ES, his AP after each tick will be 195, 165, 135, 105, 75, 45, 15, 0, so he will act on tick number 8.
If a combatant has just acted and set their AP to some amount, they will not update their AP until another combatant acts on a later tick. If two (or more) combatants reach 0 AP on the same tick, the tie is broken somehow, and neither of them will update their AP until another combatant acts on a later tick (and there is a failsafe incase all combatants act on the same tick, say, if you brave and use Shut Up And Dance (setting AP of the target to 0) on all living combatants).
Example 2: If only Seth is alive against 1 Goblin, the turn order will always just alternate between the two no matter what Speed Seth has. Even with 999 speed, Seth will act, then have his AP frozen for the 15ish ticks it take for the Goblin to get to 0 AP, the Goblin will act, then the Goblin will have its AP frozen for the 1 tick it takes Seth to get back to 0 AP, etc.
Example 3: If you have 2 living characters with very high speed against 1 Goblin, so long as your characters don't sync up, they will alternate taking their turns many times, one or the other getting a turn every tick, until enough ticks pass for the Goblin to act (it will act during the same tick as one of your characters). However, if you sync your two characters (brave and use Shut Up and Dance on both of your characters), then they will both have their AP frozen simultaneously for many ticks at a time until the Goblin acts, so the turn order will be: each of your characters, the Goblin, each of your characters, the Goblin, etc.
Every move in the game has a base "Action Cost." Your basic attack has 250 AC, default is 225, basic items are 235, weak attack items are 320, strong attack items are 440, Fire is 250, Fira is 275, Firaga is 300, Flare is 325, Deathstorm is 500 (that's the highest), you get the picture (generally stronger moves have higher ACs, but there are some oddities). Also, passing your turn to gain 1 BP when you are in the negatives has 250 AC, and so does attempting to run from battle. Enemy moves have ACs too, and they depend on if you are playing on Casual, Normal, or Hard (and this is the only in-battle effect of your difficulty choice). For example, the enemy Default command has ACs of 261/187/149 on Casual/Normal/Hard. Monster base attacks have ACs of 280/200/160.
Your AP is set to the AC of your last action(s) after you act (but I have not tested enough to see what effect braving has. It "seems" like braving and using multiple actions with different ACs will yield an AC of the maximum of those ACs, but also braving and using the same move multiple times will yield an AC of like 25 more than usual). However, weight plays a big role here. Your AC is multiplied by max(1, Wt*.045). So if your equipment has 22 weight or less, it has no effect on your ACs.
Example 4: If Seth is equipped with 22 weight of equipment or less and Defaults, his AP is set to 225. If Seth has 70 weight of equipment and Defaults, his AP is set to 225*70*.045 = 708.75 (so I believe this will round up to 709).
By the way, enemies also have an internal weight stat. Their weights are only based on their levels and range from 10 to 75. I suspect this effect on Action Costs applies to enemies too, but I haven't tested that.
Wow, that makes having high weight seem really bad. True! But there's more! In fact, weight also affects your Effective Speed. Your Effective Speed is your speed multiplied by max(min(1.5, 2 - Weight/WeightCapacity), 0.7). So this multiplier is 1.5 if your equipped weight is between 0 and half your weight capacity, it is 1 if you equip your full capacity, and it can go as low as 0.7 if you go 30% over your weight capacity (being overloaded also causes a (10+WeightExcess)% to your stats, including speed). Your speed, including buffs and debuffs in battle, is capped at 999, but your Effect Speed is not capped (so it can go up to 999*1.5 = 1499).
Example 5: If Seth has 100 speed and 50 weight capacity, he will have 150 ES if his weight is 25 or less, 140 ES at 30 weight, 120 ES at 40 weight, and 100 ES at 50 weight.
So the two critical weight values to consider are 22 weight and half your maximum capacity: you incur no penalty for going up to the smaller of those values, and your marginal penalty is smaller than usual if you're between those values. However, it's best to do a concrete calculation if you want to optimize. Accounting for multiple moves gets complicated, but the most important move to optimize is your Default command.
Example 6: If you're a level 40 Freelancer, you have 94 speed and 51 Weight capacity. I assume you use no buns/abilities/equipment that affect your speed. Since your Weight capacity is more than 44, you never need to consider using less than 22 weight. At 22 weight, your Default has 225 AC and your ES is 94*1.5 = 141, so your turn gauge will refill after 2 ticks (once another combatant acting unfreezes your AP). The effect on your ES begins at 26 weight.
You begin taking 3 ticks to act at 28 Weight (284 AC and 136 ES),
4 ticks at 36 Weight (365 AC and 122 ES),
5 ticks at 44 Weight (446 AC and 107 ES),
and 6 ticks at 49 Weight (496 AC and 98 ES), and you're still at 6 ticks up to your weight limit of 51 (and going above 51 is really bad).
If you want to make an excel calculator for the number of ticks it takes for you to act (keeping in mind you freeze your AP after acting, so you really add on the remaining ticks it takes for the next combatant to act), you only care about the 3 variables of Base ability AC (BAC), Speed (S), and MaxWeight (MW). Then your number of ticks T at a certain weight W less than your MW is:
T = ROUNDUP(ROUND(MAX(1,0.045*W)*BAC)/ROUND(MIN(1.5, 2-W/MW)*S)).
I'll also explain a few odds and ends related to turn order. The Monk Specialty 2, Single-Minded, reduces the AC of your monk abilities and default by 40 "after" the weight multiplier is applied. So a monk with 70 equipped weight will default with an AC of 225*70*0.045 - 40 = 669.
"Delay" moves like Shield Bash, Shield Stun, Body Slam, Tortoise Kick, and Staggering Swipe increase the target's AP by 40, 80, 100, 60, and 70 respectively. These might not be that bad against low level enemies, but they are really insignificant when enemy speeds get higher. On the other hand they are hard to use when your own speed is low, but you actually can stun lock enemies if you are much faster than them and spam these (for example, run BravebeareFreelancer, get +1 BP with True Grit and use Body Slam twice per turn for free with Sub-Job BP Saver). Another thing is these moves have really high ACs (with the exception of Body Slam at 250 AC). For example, Staggering Swipe has 390 AC, so you're really just slowing yourself down using it.
Haste lowers ACs by 70, Hastega lowers ACs by 110, and Slow raises ACs by 50. I assume they behave like Single-Minded in terms of applying after the weight factor multiplication, but I didn't test them. These are really pathetic at high levels and high speeds.
Most status effects wear off after a certain number of turns, but Stop instead lasts for a duration of 500 AC. So if you're in the early game (an enemy in Hydrangea Hills inflicts) with like 30 ES, it lasts for 17 ticks, but if you're late game with like 250+ ES, it lasts for like 2 ticks. Really weird.
The Oracle Special (The Hastening) reduces the AP of all your characters by 360 at Job Level 1 and 500 at job level 15. So long as your characters don't have much weight equipped (like 45-50) and use abilities with ACs around 225 to 250, this is basically a full party Shut Up and Dance. Maybe not so bad, but you do need to be mindful of the downsides to syncing up your party's turns like I mentioned earlier.
Overall, I think the system is pretty cool in the prologue and chapter 1 when your speeds and enemy speeds are around 20-60. However, it becomes really weird if speeds get to about 100 and you still equip very little weight because then all "ticks it takes to act" break down to be 2 or 1 if your speed goes even higher (like 170 so 1.5*170 = 255 > 250 > 225, common ACs). Ironically, if all combatants have very high speed so they have take 1 tick to act, the turn order just becomes that of a traditional RPG where everyone acts once per cycle before repeating (though the order may change from cycle to cycle).

Part 1
Part 2
Two cyber-krakens, under the cover of invisibility cloaks, manage to sneak onto two of the airships. The Drakmaw...
And the Ironsides.
The Kraken on the Drakmaw begins planting explosives onto the top of the hull.
Weaver Of Fates: "DEFENSE SYSTEMS DOWN. POWER REROUTED. 81%!"
The Kraken that landed upon the Ironsides landed in the streets of one of it's cities, blowing up everything it can and setting off alarms.
Chaos Meld continues bringing down the Krakens it sees with the Flaming Chaos Barrage, but the output of fireballs is beginning to decrease considerably. The Combat Vision Chaos Meld uses is able to filter obstructions of vision, but isn't able to detect invisibility yet. Something Talios should've accounted for...
Upon noticing the charges being attached to the fragile wooden upper hull, the crew of the Drakmaw scrambles to get the light weapons online, as nothing heavier can point upward. The Drakwing, meanwhile, is taking even longer, as it is trying to charge heavier weapons. It's clear that without help, the Drakmaw is as good as gone.
Ironsides: "INFILTRATOR DISCOVERED! SUMMONING THE SHIP KEEPER."
And then, a new entity enters the fray to take on the Kraken wreaking havoc upon the Ironsides: The Songstress. One of the many droids upon the Ironsides, an inhabitant of the Down Below; a place of respite for the sapient droids of the Ironsides, where they live just like any other human when they are not needed. The Songstress was... Special, some could say.
But at the end of the day, what could a mere Songstress do..? She wasn't fit for battle...
"Guess it's time to show what the Keeper Of Iron can do..."
The singer's facade drops, and her true from shows. Ferra, The Shipkeeper. The Mayor of the Down Below. She holds a large hammer and shotgun, charging at the kraken.
"FEEL THE WRATH OF IRON!"
The biological airship, still stuck in Aoi's Wargod projections grasp, finally breaks free by ripping off the tentacle Aoi has a hold of. It flies and about faces, beginning to charge a powerful energy weapon. It's aiming for Ejder's Drakwing.
The Drakwing quickly scrambles for it's own cannon, beginning to charge it's doomcannon as well.
Chaos Meld, amidst the chaos, catches the distress signal coming from the Drakmaw about the invisible Kraken. It quickly closes in on it's supposed location on top of the Drakmaw, flying just above the ship with its arm outstretched in an attempt to essentially clothesline the invisible Kraken.
The Cloaked Kraken gets knocked off it's footing, and it's invisiblity fails, but it is still standing. It begins to charge Talios with a superheated dagger.
Chaos Meld is easily able to out-maneuver the Kraken, flying up and away for a moment, before turning back around and coming back down to slam it's fist into it once more. Bringing the thrusters up to 75%, Chaos Meld immediately gains a very sudden, and very powerful burst of speed, causing a shockwave, said shockwave causing the Drakmaw to shake violently, which throws off the Kraken. But the explosives are still on. So, Chaos Meld quickly rips them off.
Talios: "Wish us luck."
The wings of Chaos Meld fold in, turning back into heavy armor. The rest of the armor reappears on it, and Chaos Meld immediately drops like a sack of hammers, straight into the water. It practically lays on the explosives. But... Chaos Meld's AI was installed with 3 protocols. Each with increasing precedence over the last. And the most important of all...
"Protocol 3: Protect The Pilot."
Chaos Meld warps Talios out of the cockpit and onto the Drakmaw. It remains on top of the explosives.
"CHAOS MELD!"
Talios rushes to a viewing platform to look at Chaos Meld.
WoF: "100%. fire the godslayer rune!"
And in that minute, dozens of explosions went off almost at once. The first was the godslayer rune ripping through the biological airship, leaving a massive hole in it with ichor spilling forth from it. But before it goes down, it manages to hit the Drakwing's propulsion systems with the energy weapon it had been charging.
Meanwhile the Shipkeeper Ferra is bashing the Kraken in that dared invade the Ironsides like dough, the Kraken unable to stand a chance against the enraged droid.
"1N 7H3 N4M3 0F 7H3 F0UND3R, P3R15H, F0UL 1NV4D3R!"
her speech module malfunctions, she hasn't taken this form in a long time.
And then another boom. The Drakwing is forced to fire its Doomcannon, the 2.5 Kiloton blast going off on the opposite shore of the island, quite possibly putting many civilians in danger. The Drakwing's metallic lower hull crushes partially inward as it comes down, completely demolishing the expensive magical components along it's belly.
Xn-008 attempts to intercept the Doomcannons shot with a block of ice, but it instead now detonates directly overhead the village. Jean Atrosa manages to step in, focusing on the explosion in the millisecond it happens, and a miniture black hole erases it before it can cause massive damage before rapidly evaporating.
"Damnit Ejder, what did I say about the nukes?!"
Talios seems... Genuinely distressed about Chaos Meld. He looks just about ready to jump right off the Drakmaw. But before he can, the explosives detonate under Chaos Meld. It sends shrapnel flying, but the central frame and construction survives, not without heavy damage of course.
The Drakmaw seems to go still and silent as the Drakwing crashes down. There seems to be a sense of panic in the CIC, but everyone still appears dead calm. The magical communicators are dead silent, as Aelia attempts to communicate with Ejder. Not even the gun deck crew moves as the entire ship appears frozen in time.
The remaining Cyber Krackens begin to convulse and fall over, their bodies overloaded from their cybernetic enhancements self destructing internally.
WoF: "INVADERS. YOUR ACTIONS HAVE FORFEITED YOUR LIVES. YOUR EXECUTION TAKES PLACE RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW. IN FORTUNA'S NAME, YOUR END, IS NOW."
The cannon blasts at full power into the already destroyed biological airship, again and again, filling it with vile alchemical agents.
Chaos Meld: "P-protocol. Thr-three-three."
The speech module is damaged, but operable for Chaos Meld still it seems. A damn miracle all it got was damaged.
《Flight Mode》
Chaos Meld spreads its wings once more, flying up to the Drakmaw.
"R-Ready for E-e-embark."
Talios slowly approaches Chaos Meld as it would hover next to the Drakmaw, it's arm outstretched to it. Talios places his hand on it and is warped inside.
"Pilot Ejder. I repeat, Pilot Ejder. Are you alright."
Chaos Meld descends to the remains of the Drakwing, the thrusters sputtering every now and then. It scans for life signs using the Combat Vision.
Some of the crew is rushing out of the surviving upper section of the ship, as parts of the metal hull seem to be glowing with heat. Shrapnel and debris is scattered all around the downed ship. The observation deck, where Ejder usually stands during combat scenarios, is almost completely caved in. The crew rushing out waves warning signals to Chaos Meld.
Chaos Meld steps back, taking heed of the warnings. Talios doesn't want to.
"Chaos Meld, we have to make sure Ejder is alright."
"P-p-protocol 3-3-3, Pilot. I apo-apologize."
A message plays out across comms to all connected units from the Drakmaw's captain.
"Aelia to Paragons... The dragon has lost its wings."
"Repeat, the dragon has lost its wings. Drakmaw exiting the battlefield. Scorched Earth, negative."
The Drakmaw peels away from the battlefield, moving a far distance away, but stopping right at the edge of Doomcannon range, in case Scorched Earth were to still be enacted.
A loud rumble echoes through the wreckage. An outside observer would see a large explosion rip out the rear right section of the steel hull, sending shrapnel and crystal shards into the air. The observation deck is empty, but the door out of it is wide open, rather than closed as it should be in a combat scenario.
Jean appears among the wreckage, looking for any trace of Ejder.
Talios warps out of Chaos Meld, attempting to get to the Drakwing. Chaos Meld puts a large hand in front of his way.
"Chaos Meld, move!"
"Protocol 3, Pilot."
"FUCKER!"
Talios punches the large hand keeping him away from the Drakwing. He's... Worried. Deeply worried about his friend.
"LET ME THROUGH!"
But Chaos Meld does not. Protocol 3 precedes even directives from the Pilot themself.
Talios finally yields against the unmoving Chaos Meld. It scoops him up and places him on it's shoulder. All he can do is watch and hope...
A Psychic Scream suddenly cuts through everybody thoughts, before finally settling down into a low, guttural voice.
"Interlopers... Leave this place, or we will be forced to unleash the power of our God upon you..."
Talios: "Shut the fuck up. Hurry up and get here so I can kick your ass."
the Lantican bells ring.
The serpent god roars.
"Transferring controls to Pilot."
Talios warps into Chaos Meld once more. It's battered and beaten... But it's operable.
And that's all he needs. He pulls out his greatsword. If he has to kill a god, he fucking will.
Jean: "You Messed with the wrong world..."
Jean manifests high up in the air, facing the downed ship.
Talios: "You messed with OUR world. With OUR beach trip."
Lantica: "THERE WILL BE NO MORE MERCY FROM US, INVADERS. MAY YOU FACE THE OCEAN'S WRATH!"
"You DARE oppose the great XYLFAPSAVEI Empire?! You and your world shall then PERISH!"
Some attacks are made upon the mysterious ship that had appeared immobile at the beginning of all this. They all harmlessly deflect off.
A great rumble begins again, shaking the ground violently, as the downed ship begins to move...
The Ship rises up out of the water... and it is only once it has lifted up high enough that you realize that it is no longer a ship at all, but the hardened armored carapace of a truly immense Eldritch Being, with what appears to be a massive brain suspended in the middle of it's hollowed out skull. It continues to stand, eventually reaching a height of over a Kilometer above the water... and this is only the top half of it's torso.
Upon closer inspection, the multitude of technological enhancements that have been applied to this long dead God-Corpse are noticed. A cybernetically enhanced, undead eldritch god Elder Brain.
Aoi, using her six armed Wargod projection, is the first to engage upon the beast. Ejder is pulled from the remains of the Drakwing. Terribly wounded... But alive.
Chaos Meld: "Weaver Of Fates, status report."
Aelia: "Weaver Of Fates, report in!"
There's only static. The mech itself is twitching.
"Weaver Of Fates Malfunctioning. Forced Pilot extractions may be necessary."
The rest... Is a blur. Aelia attempts to break open the cockpit of Weaver Of Fates. Fails. Chaos Meld steps in, tearing the entrance to the cockpit clean off. The failsafes meant to disconnect Maximillian and Rachnia during a malfunction failed for Maximillian. He was still connected, his brain practically getting fried...
A mysterious being cuts him free. One from Max's crew, no doubt. Max and Rachnia are quickly moved to the medbay.
Aoi fights on relentlessly with her Wargod projection, keeping the eldritch being busy as everyone is being treated.
Ejder's souls make it ten times more difficult to heal him. Talios has to apply anti-magic upon one particular soul of darkness to complete the healing.
Jean has to enter Max's mindspace to treat him... Talios has no idea what happens in there.
Xn-008 has to back off from the battle. Aqua, one of it's three operators is unable to continue due to emotional reasons. The battlefield isn't for everyone.
It's all a blur to Talios. Ejder becomes stable finally, and he's left walking back and forth outside the medical tents, concern building. Chaos Meld stands idle behind him. He takes off his helmet, holding it at his side as he walks. Until finally he can't bear it any longer.
Talios enters the medbay, the foot of Chaos Meld visible for a moment. His helmet is held at his hip, and upon seeing Max awake... He seems genuinely relieved.
"Had a good nap, Max? Ha..."
The relief he feels is amazing. He's glad that his friend is alright...
Max: "I'm sorry to have scared everyone. I was... Stuck in my own thoughts for a while."
"Didn't just scare us... Had us damn mortified..."
Logos, an Aspect of Atrosa speaks up.
"I've finished repairing the Weaver for you, and Celia has added in some anti-shock measures to help with future neural overloads."
Celia, another aspect this time.
"Talios, do you want some help getting Chaos Meld back in fighting shape?"
"That... Would certainly be appreciated."

Everything about the way Lindy thinks here is a result of the environment she has grown up in, her beliefs are as deterministic as anyone else's and she was as thrusted into her echo chamber as most of us are. You would think the same way if your circumstances were the same as hers.
Everyone of all political persuasions needs to see the Lindy within themselves because the potential strength of the episode as far as I'm aware is that it's holding up a mirror to all of us that fall into the algorithmic ideological bubbles that are force fed to us, not just the techno-fascist racists. A big letdown is that the episode only focused on this as if you, the viewer, get to wipe your hands of any introspection the episode could be providing you because you don't happen to exactly mirror the beliefs that they had, so any message the episode has mustn't apply to you.
If we can't see how these things affect us too, then we're dooming ourselves to the same narcissistic and solipsistic fate.
It seems everyone has missed the point of the overstimulation of the content we consume and how they overload our dopamine receptors to strip away the desire for meaningful relationships which requires the forestalling of short-term gratification to develop, which the 'bubbles' strongly restrict and disincentivise. I partially feel like RTD has done this on purpose so that the episode ultimately doesn't feel challenging to most viewers because they don't happen to be blatantly racist to black people, which is a massive missed opportunity. It's so ironic that an episode that tries to be a critique on echo chambers itself only ends up feeding into an echo chamber of the majority who watch this show to be as brand-safe as possible.
I don't see the ending as a twist since it doesn't retrospectively affect anything that actually happened in the episode, either way these people are so entrenched within their bubbles that they'd be too hesitant to want any help, in the same way most people irl don't want to even acknowledge the fact they have an addiction to social media to be able to get out of it. The race angle was consequently a little shoehorned in there (I'm aware there were hints, it doesn't void my point) and it lost the focus away from what could have been a brilliant challenging episode for everyone. How many people watched this and then continued being glued to their phones to only discuss the implications of the race component of the episode?
EDIT: My point about the twist about race was a minor perhaps-flawed point which I'm happy to concede on if it will make everyone stop hyper-focusing on that and actually engage with my point about Lindy and how people are regarding the people of the town.
The performance at the end was great but ultimately didn't feel as earned and didn't hit as hard as it could have. In my view the ending was an utter tragedy (I mean narratively, in the way Romeo & Juliet is) which the Doctor himself realises ("Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do" sort of idea). Solid 5/10 episode (bang average), the social media allegory should have gone a lot deeper.
EDIT2:
The response to this perfectly encapsulates and fuels truth to my entire point. Echo chambers exist round the political spectrum, and you would likely have been a Nazi if you were in Germany in the 30s, you aren't inherently more enlightened than the characters we saw in this episode, just very very lucky considering where you grew up.
Some people have become unhappy with my point about Israel and holocaust denial from those who seek to gain an advantage to provide a false impression of the context of history through which the state of Israel came to be, I am absolutely not suggesting the Nazis were left wing at all, and obviously criticism of the state of Israel isn't inherently anti-Semitic, a bunch of you need to learn to stop assuming the worst in people's arguments. You read what you want to read in the name of getting angry.
Perhaps a better example of an echo chamber manifesting on the far left would have been tankies denying the Tiananmen Square Massacre (a point I did bring up which led this post and a lot of my comments to start being mysteriously removed by Reddit admins immediately after I made it, a fact confirmed by the mods of this subreddit).
I have tried to engage in good faith but people have read into subtext about the stuff I'm talking about that simply isn't there to paint me as speaking in bad faith, and as some have suggested 'defending racists' (I fucking hated Lindy as we were supposed to, I'm just saying her death absolutely shouldn't be seen as something to be celebrated, how the fuck is that controversial?). I did respond to a lot more people but as mentioned a lot of my comments were removed despite me staying completely well-natured through any discussion regardless of how much animosity it was met with.
The Doctor reacted to Lindy's impending doom with immense tragedy, my entire point is to really consider why.
Right now, Reddit is your dot and bubble, please be self-aware.
