Prototype general discussion

The pen or the sword said:
Death at the moment my beta isn't responding so Ill ask you, Do you think I should wait on the release or release it unbetad?
It's ultimately your choice.

But, my recommendation would be that if your Beta doesn't respond in the next 2 hours, you should release the chapter un-beta'ed. Just make sure your work has at least gone through autocorrect and your own proofreading.

You can always just have your Beta revise your chapter after it's already released, and update the un-beta'ed chapters with the beta'ed ones. Though I recommend you only do that if there's new content being released (as in, there are actually new chapters when you updated). It's personally frustrating for readers to see a story getting updated, only to find that there's actually no new chapters after all.
 
I actually already have gone back through and updated the old chapters with beta'd ones, luckily replacing chapters doesn't seem to register as an update.

Ill look it over again while I wait for a response, Ive already thrown it through a spell check though :p Thanks for the advice and sorry about the delay!

No problem. Better late than never after all. :p

Let me know what you think! :)
"But the building is also a massive target, what is stopping someone from taking one of these powerful influential children hostages and demanding you give over the artifacts? That's ignoring the fact by having these artifacts here you paint a target on the students as they can be caught in the crossfire of a robbery... Why not hide the artifacts in some secretive vault and have the children far away from it so theirs no risk of them being targeted and injured? Why risk the children's and artifacts softy in such a bizarre way? So what possible benefits are there to having your countries most important children come to a place that's sure to attract powerful criminals?" Ainz continued his questioning and was greeted by silence."

All I say is, this is a problem RWBY should've suffered, but somehow didn't. I'm not even sure how durable the "locks" storing the relics in the vaults are.


Anyways, my curiosity to look forward to the interactions between Ainz and Henrietta is greater than ever. It doesn't help that Louise just learnt the truth behind who actually defeated that "golem". Thanks for that by the way. :p
 
No problem theres still about three/four chaps before we reach herrenita sorry! Though you have a decent fight for ainz coming up in the next two chapters.

I was worried that scene would be to silly but when I first heard of why fouquet attacked the school my mind nearly broke from the sheer stupidity.

Its worse then rwby in some ways! These children are noblity, nobility that is incredibly valulable and yet they paint a target on the school by storing valulable artifacts there as well. I think I kept the scene in character though I worry some of my irritation leaked into ainz tone. Do let me know if thats the case.

Some seem disspointed with the golem but thats understandable, the next fight should involve ainz putting in some effort though and I hope it pleases.

What did you think of guich chopping off fouquets hand?

edit let me know Ill respond tommorow gnight death!
 
Nice. At least I now know when the Henrietta and Ainz interactions occur based on your estimate.

Yeah, the security of these artefacts... Leaves much to be desired, mildly speaking.

At least I now I have confirmation from you that there's a fight where Ainz has to put in a bit more effort now. :D

The reactions Guiche has to first drawing blood (especially chopping someone's hand off) is quite accurate. I imagine anyone who hasn't seen such would feel the shock from seeing or doing such an action.


Also, a question for when you return: Wouldn't Ainz's "Mass Hold Species" be the ultimate counter for any human mages in FoZ? I recall that human mages need to use their wand as a focus for their magic, so I assume they're probably useless if they are disarmed of their wand or are paralysed (thus, can't make gestures with their wand).
 
Oh it definitly is good thing his challange wont be something as mundane as a human mage :)

Humaniod species are all kinda screwed regardless their most powerful magic is well below the tenth teir. Heck the second powerful spell after void magic is the equivalnt of ainz shark cyclone without the sharks! Its just a boring tornado!

So to answer your question its definitly a hard counter ainz just deosn't need to do much of anything to counter people in this (not to say he wont) Paranoid person that ainz is. :p

I wanted to capture the internal shock and struggle of a pampered noble drawing blood truly maiming another person.
 
Yeah the series is rather humerous and after seeing the secret ending...Well it needed to be done! Thanos must learn the glory of Nugget's nuggets.

I had to get creative with the fight itself cause didn't just want nugget reality warping back thus I figured he could use the talismans as weapons... It was a bit short and on the silly side but I think it came out well. I definitly should have gone over a few more times but I didn't want to dedicate myself to much to such a silly story.

I hope you enjoyed, and id love to hear your thoughts on it :p
 
Well, I've enjoyed how humorous the premise of the fight was.

Of course, I wouldn't like for you to make a series out of such a frivolous story either. Sasuga Ainz-sama is too important for your fans after all. :p

Yeah from what I saw we have note about him controling blacklight on a molecular level Linked to a scan but its buried in the text, maybe we should add tabbers to make it more easy to look over? Seperate out the abilities and resistances into two sections useing tabs?

edit we should take this to prototype gen discussion though.
Indeed.

Though I will have to get home to be able to do that, and I have to juggle homework from school as well, so I'll probably won't get much done by myself.

Anyways, I'm going to add in that molecular control to Mercer's limited Matter Manipulation in his profile now.
 
Im going to add a tabber to seperate mercers abilities into three categories, resistance, abilities, and force multipliers.

edit Check it out when you get the chance, I don't think I messed it up.

Aside from not adding the "Resistance to" in the start of the Resistances tab, it's pretty good so far.

Though I would his number resistances to be much greater, like Wall of Text level. :p
 
Hmm...Good question, Im not sure. They may need to be removed but Ill wait for death's input, he's usually knowledgable about such things and he may have an explanation. I suppose it might be from scaling to heller? Or the ability to use the alex mercer skin while using them?
 
Since they dont have any effect in game I assume not, though it might be good to add the images to the profile for reference to what their armor abilities look like... Like I said Im not really sure why alex has force multipliers at the moment :p
 
I think the reason why Mercer has the force multipliers is because he is the one who granted Heller all of his abilities. Even the "unique" abilities Heller gains (such as the Tendrils ability) from absorbing the infected doesn't change the fact that said infected are are created by the Blacklight Virus (and Mercer is the Blacklight Virus), thus is something Mercer should have by default via being the source of the Blacklight abilities.

While that doesn't change the fact that the Force Multipliers aren't canon, it also doesn't change the fact that Mercer is the very reason why Heller even has powers in the first place. The majority of the Force Multiplier abilities being associated with the Blacklight abilities in some way (I recall that there was one Force Multiplier ability where a target being hit with any of your attacks gets instantly converted into a Walker infected), and Heller having the Agile Armour skin (which looks like it belongs to Mercer), probably doesn't help.

There might be more reasons I haven't thought of yet, but those are the ones at the top of my head as of now.
 
Yeah, I've checked in the google images, and they look pretty identical. The Agile Armour Alex Mercer skin that is. There's even the Zombie Alex Mercer skin as well for some reason.

Even the Prototype wikia listed Alex Mercer as part of the skins twice. One for the Agile Armour and the other for the Zombie Alex Mercer. However, as they are purely cosmetic, they aren't really combat applicable.
 
Well depending on how different it looks we could add the image to the top of the page, but if it looks the same as the original theres no need. We have his armored appearence from prototype one on the profile

The Agile Armour Alex Mercer looks pretty identical to the Prototype 1 Armour mode. I don't think I can spot any difference.
