dawgx i have a question, is Ichi a deux ex machina character because it certainly looks like it the way you have described him, the guy basically looks like goku while we look like krillin, yamcha, tenshinhan etc... Yes he does make us all look like Krillin......Abridged Krillin.

No, the fuck? Did you not read the other hunts hes been in and the daily lives? Ichirou barely uses his Psychic abilities, only using them as a last resort. And just stopping bullets seriously taxes him, now add that with lighting bolts and laser beams and other attacks. A Hunter was randomly going to die this update. As I was writing, I was just going to have Ichirou stop the Exosuit but get disabled by the Green alien leaving the other Hunters to fight a Psychic enhanced mutant alien. But instead of cutting one(or more) of you guys enjoyment short by killing one of your characters, I just had Ichi fight him and STILL get disabled and/or in this case knocked out. As you saw, he didn't stand a chance against Green until Green made him mad enough to go berserk for a bit. Thats the only time his powers flare like they do and soon afterward hes too tired to do anything or passes out. If theres a problem with this update you can discuss it one on one with me in a PM. Sorry for wanting you guys to enjoy yourselves *shrugs* ...

TO add to dawg, simply put this.
1. Ichirou isn't a deus ex machina in a large scheme of things. There was nothing implied that he suddenly could defeat the alien as a plot tool. He fought the alien in a tug of war, and basically used him to spice up the fight. 2. He also used the fight to show off character development. After all, this is a role play. 3. Remember, if Dawg killed something off and we didn't even get to fight the fearsome monster, he already has something EVEN WORSE in store for us. 4. At the rate of one kill per round, arn't you happy he didn't randomly just murder someone, and incapped himself? 4. By incapping his own character (and mine to a certain extent), he basically gave everyone else a chance at getting massive points, since Ichi and Takao are one of the few surviving vets currently.
So yeh, just some pointers just to give reason why Ichi's powers were used a full throttle and why he isn't necessarily a broken character.
Lets just get on with the postin ppl.

dawg, the green guy had the power to almost kill us all by lifting us up from the ground. Ichi destroyed him, so basically for now Ichi is the most powerful thing alive in your region (sorry i dunno if there was one stronger than him in previous missions). You say he only goes berserk when he goes mad, well it doesnt matter, that means he HAS the ability to become extra powerful and even if its just for a short time, he can kill anyone in that short time. What i basically want to say is that the way u've made Ichi so powerful, i would be impossible for anyone to confront him one on one, say an evil character like Donflamingo cause he's just too powerful... anyways i dont have a problem whatsoever with the hunt i just dont like that Ichi is that powerful in comparison with everything else on your 'universe' (if we may call it so) but its ur region so u can do whatever the hell u want

This time he passed out, maybe next time he'll kill himself from too much concentration. All you need to do is exploit his anger to get him to focus on something else to use his power on, until he's weakened. At that point, killing him wouldn't be too hard. Not that I'm planning anything, nor am I taking sides, I'm merely stating something.

The way you are speaking also shows that you're upset that my Psychic is "too powerful." For now, all I can say is that that is your opinion and im sorry you feel that way. No he is not the most powerful thing and it seems that when a character gets stronger and stronger in this rp, members pop up saying the are too "Gary Stu" or "Dues ex Machina" or whatever. I mean, ive shown his weaknesses plenty of times. If you are that heated over his Psychic powers, go ahead and kill him so Donflamingo can become the "most powerful character" in this region. Anymore observations that needs to be addressed?

I missed your point because what you're saying makes no sense? Really if you say its "my" region and I can "do" whatever I "want" then why accuse me of having/making a "Dues ex" then? Im being fair to everyone, my guy had a psychic duel with an alien. He killed the thing but in turn hurt himself. You can clearly see his limits, his weaknesses have been revealed and shown many times including the update. But yeah lets just all continue to enjoy the hunt.
This is Gantz in case any of you forgot.
