Terminal Apotheosis - this bio has moved!

06/03/2016 - BAM

Like the title says, this bio is now on my new account ;v; Crucio insists on me playing him again, so it's that time. It can be found here for those wishing to retrack. If not, that's okay too!

This node won't be used again in the future, but I might keep it for old time's sake. There's a lot of history here - good and bad, and I think it's worth holding onto.

"Cru?Are you alright?What's wrong?" The little doe's face lined with worry.He was acting distance..not like the usual and she worried for him.

A flick of an ear in his

A flick of an ear in his daughter's direction briefly, and then it fell back into its default position. That was the only sign that he knew she was here. His eyes slid shut, his body tensed uncomfortably; he shifted, otherwise remaining dead silent. He was so ashamed. He couldn't bring himself to look at her, let alone speak to her.

"Crucio?...What is it?Did I

"Crucio?...What is it?Did I do something?" She tried to hide her worry but her eyes betrayed her and nuzzled him gently,pressing her face into his fur.

Still facing in the same

Still facing in the same position as before, he shook his head in response to her question. No, she'd done nothing wrong. It wasn't her. It wasn't anyone else. It was him. A soundless sigh passed between his jaws in frustration. Was this still the right thing to be doing?
BouncyDeer1's picture

She didn't say anything and

She didn't say anything and just pressed herself further into his fur."Are you going to be alright?" She got in front of him and looked into his eyes and said with a chocked voice,"Cru?....Are you still my dad?" She tried to make her voice steady and was succesful.She wasn't about to stress him more since he was stressed enough.

"Are you going to be

"Are you going to be alright?"

To this first question, he paused, then shrugged dismally. He flattened his ears back further, allowing his eyes to open just slightly.

"Cru?....Are you still my dad?"

To this one, however, he hesitated. He glanced over at Natali to face her, lowering his head slightly. With an overwhelming sense of guilt, he finally shook his head to this as well. No. He wasn't good enough to call her his daughter. She wasn't related by blood. She had a way out of this.

Under his breath, he murmured the softest sound, just barely resembling 'I'm sorry'.

She held back tears,trying to be strong.She didn't know what was going on but she did know her ex-dad was in a lot of pain."Oh...I'll always be right here if you need me okay?I love you,even if we aren't family." She kissed him lightly on the face and let go of the tears that had finally forced their way out of her eyes.

"Oh...I'll always be right here if you need me okay?I love you,even if we aren't family."

"Thank you, Natali.." The stag finally spoke up, just long enough to say this. He felt his heart sink at the sight of the young doe's tears, silently apologizing for putting her through this. He still thought it would be better for her in the end, and would allow her to live life more fully.

But he would miss her.

Sure, whatever. /: It's not

Sure, whatever. /: It's not like he can die.
.. Lol.
-so not in the mood-

I'm pretty tired of the drama.. like I'm just. Tired of it.
I love how no one ever goes after the deer that hurt him though.
So you can bring Lucifer in and attack him, idc. I just.. no.

.. No.

None of this.

Out of respect for my sanity and me being able to play him enjoyably,
I'm going to ask you to leave Crucio alone. As of now he and I are ignoring Tandem.
I don't agree with how he's played and that's not gonna change so /: better to not.

Ryff, please don't. Just.. please. Don't. I'll keep him away from "their group".
Just keep him away from my character. /:
thelittleraven's picture

Alright, that's cool. I

Alright, that's cool. I didn't mean any offense or anything. Sorry. Yeah, we'll avoid him.
Xemi's picture

It's okay. I guess I'm just

It's okay.

I guess I'm just really irked by this because Crucio's been killed before
and no one's done a thing, and now suddenly Tandem gets killed for vulgarly
insulting him over a period of months, and suddenly everyone's after Crucio.

I don't get why Tandem gets such special treatment. He's not as innocent as some deer seem to think.

It's okay though. /: I love Crucio too much to delete him, but I don't wanna be
afraid to log onto him because I think he's gonna get attacked either. He's my
main.. yeah, killing Tandem wasn't the best way to win any hearts exactly but
I still didn't expect some big uproar like this and neither did he.

He's not in his right mind, he's completely snapped.. he's hardly in control of his
own actions and it hurts me to see him suffer like this, all from something that
stemmed from emotions.

But thank you.. I appreciate it.
Xemi's picture

.. On second thought Ryff,


.. On second thought Ryff, bring him in. I'm going to let you just kill him on Lucifer.
Just get it over with. Then it's done and gone. Just get it over with. Just tell me where you want him.
I'll put him there and Lucifer can rip him up all he wants. That's obviously the "right" thing to do
since Crucio's a big monster that does nothing but bad things and that everyone hates.

In fact, maybe I'll let Lucifer really kill him and get rid of him after this.
I bet that would make a lot of people happy.

Just tell me when and where.

"I guess I'm just really

"I guess I'm just really irked by this because Crucio's been killed before
and no one's done a thing, and now suddenly Tandem gets killed for vulgarly
insulting him over a period of months, and suddenly everyone's after Crucio.

I don't get why Tandem gets such special treatment. He's not as innocent as some deer seem to think."

Here's some ideas on this (just out of bystander interest): Why did people not attack Evania? Well, first of all, some people may have supported why she attacked Crucio. Hence, characters wouldn't go after her. I don't know about this, though, but people seemed more aware of cause --> effect in this situation from what I've read. Second, I don't know how many people are aware that Tandem's been insulting Crucio. I continuously read both of your guys' updates out of curiosity and I've never seen anything about direct insulting until today. I could be wrong, though! I'm afraid I tend to miss things.

Third, he may not be innocent, but if that's how deer view him, that's how they're going to react. This is why manipulative characters (like some of my own) can exist; deer react based on what they see, not how the other deer is. So you have to keep in mind that characters see others through a lens, meaning that if they aren't fully informed about one situation, they may attack based on the only info they have (as Ama has done many, MANY times before, which gets her into trouble). Characters are flawed.

Also, people tend to sympathize more with fearful or skittish characters, or at least have more of a wish to help them. Anything "childlike", well, it draws people. Crucio isn't childlike and when he was killed, he was treated more as an "adult" able to handle his own problems. My character Inola is a sadist and a monster, but people tend to try to help her over kill her or combat her (from what I can tell). Why? She acts like a child and has the mentality of one, so she draws sympathy as well.

Look way back at the Baal plot (which I'm not sure you were here for). When Baal killed a fawn, people were after him like there was no tomorrow. When adult deer die, it's more an accepted fact.

...My two cents went on for a longer time than expected. ._.;

I don't think deer hate Cru. They're just seeing him more like the above. Again, I could be wrong, as I'm only looking at this from a secondary viewpoint and not an involved viewpoint.

Feel better, everybody involved.
thelittleraven's picture

Woah, woah woah.You're not

Woah, woah woah.You're not serious.

Cool off, Han. Think for a minute. Crucio's not a monster, even if my/other people's characters think differently, even if other players think differently. I don't think he's a monster. Every character is justified in their own way, I think.

Calm down, please. I don't want to kill him unless you're absolutely certain. Please cool off. ;;

Ocean: Thanks.. I know. It's

Ocean: Thanks.. I know. It's difficult to have me stand by and watch a character I love get hurt so badly though. That's why I'm wondering if I'm just not cut out to play someone like him.

Ryff: I am actually seriously considering finding a way to kill him off. He's in nothing but drama now (his life's been going downhill since he got here with everything he's been losing) isn't fun anymore. It's not plot drama like the Akuji stuff, THAT was fun.. but this is social drama. I just need to figure out how to kill something that's immortal now. ><

How about instead of killing

How about instead of killing off a character you are most obviously attached to, you start making changes in his life to make him easier to play? This would include social ties, as I see this is starting to effect you now. Is a friend or enemy of Crucio's too hard to interact with without it effecting you ooc'ly? Then make steps to let that person know what you don't agree with, and then cut that tie, if you have to. I can think of other ways you can handle situations like this rather than asking another player to kill your character off just so you don't have to deal with the stress. Hit it head on, beat it back. Do something to improve the way you feel when you play Crucio.

Also, track. /brick'd

ocean's picture

Understood. I've gone through

Understood. I've gone through it with a few of my characters too. Maybe consider giving him a break? I did so with all my characters who got that way and now I'm finding I have muse for them again. It gives the character idea time to roll around in your head and gives you time to improve on them. It really helps a lot and often your character comes back even stronger or more interesting than before.

I really don't mean to butt

I really don't mean to butt in, but Han.
Give it a day. Then think about it. All I'm saying. ♥

Don't do something you might regret and not be able to undo it.
I honestly hope it all works out. For the best - for you. ♥

I totally get what you mean.

I totally get what you mean. I've been in your shoes.

Just... gah. I don't want to hurt you by saying no, because I know how this feels. But at the same time, I'm hesitant to try and kill him because I really do think he's a good character.

Think a while longer, please. You have my MSN when you do make up your mind. Let's not do something we'll regret, please. :x

I uuhh... Nevermind, I don't

Fin: "Is a friend or enemy of Crucio's too hard to interact with without it effecting you ooc'ly? Then make steps to let that person know what you don't agree with, and then cut that tie, if you have to."

Yes, one of his enemies is. I spoke with their player extensively tonight, even had a third person help to mediate, but we couldn't come to an agreement so I feel like I have to ignore the character ICly. I don't agree with the way he's played at all. There are characters I dislike, but.. I can't stand him. /: I'm sorry. I just can't. Plus I've had a lot of issues with this player as well due to personal ties to them that go way back before this game.. I don't think we'll ever even be able to remain civil. It's a fireworks show waiting to happen.

But thanks for the advice anyway.. and the track also. ;; <3 And I'm just.. trying to figure out how I could change him. The last time he changed, he got really submissive and ended up depressed. That was almost as difficult to play as this is. I'm not sure where to start..

Ocean: I'm thinking I will give him a little break then.. either to decide if I really do wanna kill him off, or if there's some way I can change him like Fin suggested that would help it. I just know that, no matter what I do to him, when he comes back in-forest he's gonna get attacked because of what happened with Tandem. And until that's done with.. I'm gonna dread getting back on him.

Dina: Thanks.. I will. I'm gonna stay off him for tonight at least, and probably tomorrow and think this stuff over. I'll figure out.. something. Thank you..

I'm glad to hear it. Breaks

I'm glad to hear it. Breaks are always good for drama-avoiding and decision making. ^^ Hopefully this works out then!

You are very welcome, and one

You are very welcome, and one more thing.

It is your decision. Nobody else's. Yours.
Don't let that change.
Fincayra's picture

Then said person isn't worth

Then said person isn't worth interacting with. If you're having issues with this person and they aren't making steps to change, then all you can do is move on without them. You will feel so much better if you do. Don't let this person hold you and your character back from the changes you need to make in order to feel better about Crucio.

I like him as a careful, and it would be disappointing to see him ended over something that could have been fixed, with some work. Although since you have talked to this person already with no success, I consider the work easier now. You can do it, if you try. But first, maybe a break to recover yourself and gather your thoughts together? You could pour your attention into another character, or you yourself can take a few days or more to get a grip on your feelings and those of Crucio. I hope all works out, whatever you decide to do.

Mhm.. definitely a break. I

Mhm.. definitely a break. I may pour my efforts into Sparrow, who's young and generally very happy and giddy.. I can act almost OOC on him because of how light-hearted he is so much of the time, it's relaxing. xD So maybe I'll give him some more love these next few days..

Thank you so much for all your input, guys. I needed it, and I appreciate it, a lot. >< <3

Well.. I'd hate to see Crucio

Well.. I'd hate to see Crucio go, I really would. I know things took a turn for the worst, but a number of people love Cru still, including me.
But, like you probably already know.. I'll still offer up Forsake if you decide that's what's best for you and everything else.
Please call me Lyssa or Kir. n.n

Thanks.. I think that'll be the best way to go, if I decide it's time for Crucio to go.
It'll be about as peaceful as it can get.
