Those who know the refrence, dont give it away :P

Anyway, Im looking for some voluntiers for an RP for a title within Phyrexia which will be obtained thorugh single combat, a space battle, whatever. Either way, it will have significant effects on both nations if you are willing.

Essentially the Phyrexians plan to offer some sort of fabulous prize to the winner of a contest of strength, rule over a Phyrexian colony, lots of money and all the assorted stuff he could possibly want.
The winner, of course, is taken to Phyrexia and compleated (made Phyrexian). His first loyalty from that point on will be to Phyrexia, and he wont have a choice in the matter, the bits in his brain that could even THINK of attacking, betraying or otherwise double-crossing Phyrexia will be removed or modified.
Thus I advise not using a charecter you have established and value greatly :P
You can still RP that charecter, if you want, but he/she will be totaly changed.

A maximum of six slots are open for people, but only two are really NEEDED, the rest I can RP, since they can 'die fighting each other'.

You'd like to touch my balls, wouldn't you?

You needn't fight over me.

You can both have me. :D


Also, Kuli, I will cut you in half. Bricktop-style.

What's that LNI? I can't understand what you're saying. Try taking that dick out of your mouth :p

That's what I want you to believe. So that you'll let your guard down. Then, I'll strike with a chainsaw!!

Just doing some smack talking before the fight.

So, we have Kulikovia, LNI and...Wanderjar? Maybe?

I am interested. I'd like to point out the one glaring flaw in your argument about Phyrexian incorruptability. Xantchtha. She was a phyrexian, but was allied with Urza. Thus, they are not incorruptible.

Point, but how many other Phyrexians have you heard of gaining their freedom at any point prior to the few seconds before they die? Plus, Xantcha had some important differnces from a 'compleated', non Phyrexian-born Phyrexian:
1. She had a heart stone, which she recovered. The stones arent mentioned after that novel, so perhaps Yawgy corrected the issue?
2. She was supposed to be a sleeper, so she had emotions to a degree.
3. She was used in the phase when the 'lower' Phyrexians were mostly organic.

The only one I can think of is Vuel/Volrath, and he doesnt really count since Crovax had him...uncompleated and then melted him :P

I believe that the issue was not corrected, merely glossed over.
All phyrexians have emotions. Reference Invasion and Planeshift.
Most lower phyrexians are still highly organic. Consider the Bloodstocks and Scuta, and all the various similar creatures, with limited biomech(an extra pair f legs is nothing compared to Tsabo Tavoc or Crovax). Or, better yet, consider the witch engines, which are technically totally organic, since they're made of maggots. Many examples of later Phyrexians are still highly organic.

Ah, but many of their organs are artificial in nature, being composed of nanites or artificial materials, whereas the early models had 'natural' organics.

And the only emotions most Phyrexians seem to display are anger and pleasure, and usually that pleasure comes from causing something else pain, Both Bloodstocks and Scuta were also (as far as I could tell) almost totaly non-sentient.


The post will be up in a few hours, I confess I got lazy and havent finished it :P

EDIT:
The Phyrexians are going to be looking for people with great physical and mental strength, as well as a natural psychic ability as this is important in regards to the rulership they will be given. Remember, the battles will be on a one-to-one basis, and to the death. The winner will, of course, be healed prior to his next match.

If both parties agree, I can help to resolve a fight with a dice roll, say 2/3 or so, or the first person to reach 20, or on a damage-HP basis, (EX: person 1 rolls 8, person 2 rolls 10, hence person 1 takes 10 damage, person 2 takes 8. You get it.) Anyway, the dice would only determine the outcome, you would be free to be as creative as you like in regards to how its done :P
Again, this is optional, only to prevent people from getting stuck in an endless repeating cycle of 'OMG DODGE!' :P

I hate intro posts. Is it acceptable if I RP your Lord approaching my character directly, to save me time and effort?
