3 a.m. A large figure sits at the bar. The bartender cleans the glasses. He's eyeing his last customer waiting for him to go. The guy could go anywhere else, all he's been ordering are sodas. But for some reason he just seems to like this place. He sits there by himself, drinking his soda, eyes on the mirror behind the bartender.. It's been like that for weeks. "You come here, you drink 5 or 6 glasses of Dr. Pepper, and you leave. There are places you can get that for cheaper you know. We don't exactly normally cater to people who don't want to drink something alcoholic normally you know." *...* "Are you mute? It'd make sense, just nod if you are." *No.* "It talks! Amazing! So tell me something, why do you come here so often?" *It's a long story.* "Look, fellow, I got time. But if you're gonna talk, you gotta order something a little harder than the cherry in your soda." *Fine, Crown and Coke then.* "I'm not gonna get those sodas away from you, am I?" *Nope. ...See, I'm not from this world* "Hah! And who isn't?" *I was originally a creator...* "You're not one of those COMING fellows are you? I tell you, you sure keep a better tab than the rest of 'em!" *Nope.* "The OTHERS then huh? That's a sad lot there" *Nope.* "Good, I would have had to kick you out of my bar if you were. So, what are you?" *Well, after watching yet another character lose that I was sworn to go to the elims, I kinda...lost touch with reality for a moment. I started posting on the message boards and asking people in chat as much about 'The Powers That Be' as I could. I didn't want to tell them that I myself wanted into Khazan, they would have just looked at me funny and started calling me crazy. Finally, I posted a thread, 'How do I get a hold of The Powers That Be?' And, they did start treating me as if I had a screw loose. I can't say that I blame them. But it turns out, you don't get a hold of them, oh no...they get ahold of you. You see, I got an e-mail. Marked from 'The Powers That Be'. It was late at night, about...oh, 4 o'clock. I checked the e-mail, no return address or anything. I started to type out a reply. And, as I typed, I fell asleep. I woke up, asleep in the bed, my desk beside it as always. my keyboard still on the side of the bed where I was chatting the night before. But, the scene had changed. I was in a shady apartment in Khazan. In exchange for heading to Khazan and doing battle, I got 3 requests. Kind of like a really messed up genie. With myself in the fpl, I was sure I could win. First stop was the COMING. I walked up, nice and casual, and knocked. 'Who's there?' Landon asked, 'please say it's the pizza man, I'm starving, and Josh is sicking the Night Pack on anyone who he thinks might have food.' 'My name's Travis, I'm here for the COMING...' I heard nothing for a few seconds, then an uproarious bout of laughter. 'Well...you could stay I guess...but you'd have to room with Nyght.' Landon said, so I left...quickly..* "What about the OTHERS?" *...* "YOU WERE DENIED BY THE OTHERS?! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" *Oh, yeah, rub it in why don't you...they don't call me 'The Loser' for nothing you know*

Final Fantasy Tactics
 Tactician: Superior
Well, before I came to Khazan, I played those console RPGs and Tactical RPGs quite often. By quite often I of course mean religiously. So, before I came to Khazan I was ready for battle. I have this ability to tell what I should be doing. Usually my enemy has a weakness, I'll find it.
Wishes...
 Phasing: Superior
Ok, so we've all asked it before. "If you were a super human, what would your powers be?" Every time I'd answer the same way. "I'd want to be invisible." Well, that was my first wish. Other than the extremely convenient ability to sneak into the girl's locker room, it comes in pretty hand.
Reversal
 Pheremones: Standard
- Ranged Attack Only
- Auto-Hit Attack
So, being the idiot I am, the second wish was to be attractive. It turns out that The Powers That Be are real cut-ups...you see, instead of attracting women, it...ugh, I hate to even say this...it attracts guys. Now, look, there's nothing wrong with it but...I mean, great way to screw up an otherwise great power! It seems to work to some extent no matter how hetero the guy I'm fighting is, he's gonna take a nose full of those pheromones and hold back. I guess they don't call me The Loser for nothing...I just try to stay down wind.
BOOM!
 Eldrich Blast: Superior
- Ranged Attack Only
- Area Affect
- Target Seeker
Did I mention I watch anime? Did I mention I watch ALOT of anime? If I'm not playing an RPG, it's anime. Well, you watch enough anime and you realize that the coolest attacks fall under one of three categories: cool weapon (sword, bokken, spatula), gun, or big giant uber-blast. I'm not a big fan of guns. I know that if I took a weapon I stand the chance of losing it, so, I went for the big giant uber-blast. I just point my finger, focus, and this giant yellow beam comes from it. I mean, how cool is that? I returned to my room late at night, turned on my computer, and there was an AIM messeage from "ThePowersThatBe2001" waiting for me. The messages read as follows... "We see you are fighting, this is good. How are your powers working?" *Great, a few things I wanted to ask. I know I have some points from the battles I won, can I make my eldrich blast better? I know those anime characters always get better attacks the more they use it.* "Let it be so."
*poof*
 Invisibility: Superior
"Is there anything else we can help with?" *Umn, actually, I used my phasing powers today, they didn't work as I expected...* "Were they flawed?" *No, just, I walked into the locker room and phased on...and they...still saw me. Luckily I was phased so they couldn't hurt me but...they saw me!* "Phasing is the power to let anything to go through you as if you were a hologram. You asked to let light go through you." *Oh, NOW you tell me! Can you fix it for me? I'm sorry I just didn't get it the first time but...* "..." *...hello?* "We have discussed it. Because you are a lesser being, we shall look over your mistake." *How gracious -_-* "You may also keep your phasing ability." *l33t! Hey, can you also fix my pheremones, there's this chick I like and...* "Don't push it"
Just 'Cause
 Communicate with Animals: Standard
"You have 20 more points to spend, what is it that you wish?" *Whatever, go away.* "What?" *I'm playing Super Smash Brothers, I can't be bothered, shoo.* "...you're serious aren't you?" *Yes, whatever, go away, I'm laying the smack down with this little yellow rat* "Communicate with animals it is then"
Wha-*gobblegobble*
 Animal Transformation: Standard
So, umn, yeah, I did eat Turkeyzilla and turn into a turkey whilst at VVV's palce during that attempt at IC garbage. Umn, how did I become human again and fight in all these battles?...Umn, well, I e-mailed Infinite Die, see, and he came over and helped me. Since his battles all he's been doing is showing up at a few cons, and I hear he made a webcomic lately, "Born to Die"...anyway, he fumbled around for a moment, and made it so I can turn back and forth from a turkey to a huamn every so often... it's a great way to avoid detection. I mean, who's going to care if a turkey is waddling around when they're looking for me? ...I can always go invisible and phase out, but this works too...plus I can talk to the other turkeys so...eh....what? No, I'm not making this up. No, I don't think it's a weak plot device...no you cannot baste me at 350 degrees for 3 hours, what's wrong with you?
