MarxineghtSkill: 9 Marxineght is very skilled at hand-to-hand combat, and can wield his very large, heavy axe with one hand easily. He's skilled with his weapon and very, very strong. Magic: 6 Marxineght can conjure very hot flames that can easily melt through most metals and instantly evaporates small amounts of water before it comes into contact with it. He can skillfully use these flames to attack directly, or to enhance his attacks. Defense: 6 Marxineght is somewhat difficult to damage because he can use flames to keep opponents at bay, and use his massive axe as a shield. That aside, he doesn't have any real defensive abilities. Agility: 7 Marxineght, despite being a powerhouse and carrying that heavy axe, is actually quite quick on his feet. Phonetics: 3 Marxineght isn't much of a speaker. Most of what comes out of his mouth are angry insults and curse words. He perfers to let his axe do the talking. Intelligence: 4 Marxineght isn't really super smart. Most of what he knows relates to strategizing in battle, which he does fairly well. He doesn't come up with complex strategies, but he can easily figure out how an enemy attack works, and come up with a way to work around it. Following: 7 Technically, Marxineght has almost as many subordinates as Xistar, as Marx is 2nd in command of the IZV. However, most of them don't really like Marxineght that much, so they're more Xistar's subordinates than Marx's... Motivation: 4 Marxineght's motivation isn't all that evil. He does what he does because he wants to help Xistar, and because he shares Xistar's vision of the IZV living in a beautiful world, as opposed to the hellhole they came from. Goal: 5 Marxineght's ultimate goal isn't exactly evil when you think of it's intentions, but that's sort of relative. Xistar's vision is to bring the IZV from the Abyss into the world, and establish a utopia where everyone can live in a beautiful land in peace. It's just that this goal requires some world domination, which is sort of evil. Sanity: 7 Marxineght isn't what I'd call insane, but he's obviously not all right in the head. But I don't think any villain is, really. He's fully aware of his actions, he just doesn't really care. Prey: 7 Marxineght isn't very picky-choosey with who he kills. He doesn't kill randomly, but will harm (or even kill) people just for making him angry. He's also not above harming allies or subordinates, though typically wouldn't kill them unless Xistar told him to. He has no problems with killing women, but probably wouldn't kill a child unless Xistar told him to. Selfishness: 6 Marxineght doesn't particularly like or care about any of his allies or subordinates (though he's insanely loyal to Xistar.) He will however protect them in battle (to an extent) and try to prevent losing soldiers, though he wouldn't feel any real grief if they did die (though he might be upset, it would be because of the thought that an enemy could damage the IZV, not necessarily because of the death of said ally.) Scores:Skill: 9 Magic: 6 Defense: 6 Agility: 7 Phonetics: 3 Intelligence: 4 Following: 7 Motivation: 4 Goal: 5 Sanity: 7 Prey: 7 Selfishness: 6
Combat: 9 + 6 + 6 + 7 = 28 Scheming: 3 + 4 + 7 = 14 Intent: 4 + 5 + 7 = 16 Ruthlessness: 7 + 6 = 13
Total: 71 / 4 = 17.75 Villain Points: 18 Villain Rank:

We're all on an even playing field here. No one is above anyone here. Not exactly. We may all be friends, but Xero and I still have those pretty red stars. Speaking of which, I think it's time I use them. I'm sorry Sonic and Alter don't think we deserve a sort of respect despite our rank, but I can't really fault them too heavily for that. ZV has always been a pretty casual community, it's hard to think of us as being on a higher level since we're not like normal admins who are just here to police the members. We actually are friends with everyone here. And I appreciate the support of the other members who do think we deserve that elevated respect, but really, acknowledging my stars isn't worth tearing the community apart. I'm sure Xero would say the same. That being said, time to play the admin card and assert some authority. That's enough arguing. This started out playful at first, but obviously people took things the wrong way and it got nasty pretty quick. I'm not without blame in that either. So, yeah. We're gonna stop fighting and get along now, or I really will start penalizing people and take proper action. No flame wars guys. Everybody kiss and make up, and move along. Thank you.

@nightmare - Where did I show disrespect, by saying I can out ramble someone... on the internet? :/ For real. It's called banter, it's playful. Notice me not bawwing about him calling me bitch. You've repeatedly displayed a lack of respect since you came back. =/ Buuuuuut I won't tear into you for it right now. Cause like I said. I'll let Xero have his fun and deal with you himself. /me pretends Fann's post doesn't exist. lolalter lolsonic We're hostile because we have a certain respect for Xero that you seem to be lacking. =/ I'll let him have his fun and deal with you himself though, so just do your thing. Should be amusing when the time comes. There's a difference between showing respect and licking someone's feet. I mean really, I hope you were calling him "omnipotent" as a joke. With that kind of treatment, I can see why Xero would have such an inflated head. You're just a guy on a forum dude, get over yourself. You can honestly delete my account or ban me, I don't mind. Seeing such blatant kiss-assery makes me not want to come here anymore, and I've given more than five years of my life to this place. It was more or less a joke, I think that's pretty obvious. But you don't seem to fare well with sarcasm, so I'll try to keep that in mind in the future. Anyhow, Xero isn't "just a guy on a forum." He's been a valuable friend, counselor, and even brother figure to a number of people on ZV. My respect for him isn't kiss-ass or feet licking, it's a genuine respect for someone who's made a real difference in not only my life, but the lives of many of my friends as well. That respect would come with or without his title, so you can't really call it ass kissing. Since (Warning: Logic Ahead, Turn back if you want to keep being stupid) what is ass-kissing other than an attempt to elevate your rank (be it in the work place, in school, or anything else.) I'm already practically at the f**king top, where could I want to go? No use in ass kissing. If you think it's wrong to treat a friend with a great deal of respect and expect others to do the same, then that's fine, you can go ahead and leave then. I don't want you to, as I also see you as a friend, but I think you need to get off your own high-horse and stop taking respect people have for others so offensively. =/ I don't know if it's a you thing, or a liberal thing in general, but the notion that it's wrong to treat some people better or differently than other is asinine. Since Xero has done more than enough for ZV and it's members to deserve every bit of respect (or "ass kissing" if you prefer) he receives. And if you guys think just cause you made lengthy disappearances and didn't witness/receive first hand all the things Xero has done, that it makes you exempt from showing him any respect, well, then you got another thing coming. XP Though this doesn't just apply to Xero. It applies to me, Ztrl, and most of the staff and even a handful of members as well. Xero is just the subject at the moment.

Yes.
Regardless, you're missing the point again.
The point is Shut up. Or something along those lines.

LOL Alter, you really have been gone awhile. You seem to be completely forgetting Xero's omnipotence. Which is one thing you really should keep in mind around here.

InariSkill: 5 Inari is fairly skilled at hand-to-hand combat and fights well with a sword, but he's by no means a master. Magic: 9 Inari is very well endowed in the field of supernatural abilities, with the ability to absorb his opponent's kinetic energy (sapping the force of their attacks) and the ability to conjure wisps to absorb his enemies' Chi. Defense: 10 Inari specializes in protecting himself from enemy attacks. His skill in battle doesn't come from inflicting damage onto others, but completely negating attempts to inflict damage onto him. Agility: 7 Inari is quite quick and agile, able to move quickly and nimbly (despite his large gourd) and react to and block enemy attacks very quickly. Phonetics: 8 Inari is even more skilled with his words than he is with his sword. Speaking calmly and gracefully, he certainly doesn't sound like a villain, and can easily talk his victims into letting their guard down or walking right into a trap. Intelligence: 6 Inari is quite smart, able to deduce how an opponent (or possible prey) will react in certain situations and prepare/react accordingly. He's also quite knowledgeable in many fields of study, but doesn't qualify as a genius of any sort. Though he's usually calm, his emotions easily cloud his forethought when they rise. Following: 1 Inari doesn't have any sort of following. He doesn't have any allies or subordinates, working alone in all his endeavors. Motivation: 3 Inari isn't motivated by evil in his efforts, using the loss of his friend as his driving force to strive toward his goal. Goal: 5 Inari's goal doesn't have any ill intent, but it was born of selfish thoughts and feelings. He doesn't seem to mind how badly the world is twisted by his goal coming to fruition, so long as he gets what he wants. His goal is a somewhat twisted one, even if it was born of noble intentions. Sanity: 8 Inari isn't really insane, but his mind's stability was obviously shaken by a past trauma, causing him to think irregularly, trying to rationalize his goal and his means of achieving it. Prey: 3 Inari isn't a murderer, and doesn't like killing anybody. He strictly adheres to only killing when it would further his goal, even refusing to kill attacking opponents (opting to incapacitate them and flee.) Selfishness: 3 Inari values those that would work alongside him to see his goal come to fruition-- to an extent. Despite the fact that he would genuinely look out for and show concern for a true ally, he's not above working with people he deems twisted or even evil, so long as it furthers his goal and they play by his rules. In such cases, his concern for them reaches only as far as the morality of their actions. Scores:Skill: 5 Magic: 9 Defense: 10 Agility: 7 Phonetics: 8 Intelligence: 6 Following: 1 Motivation: 3 Goal: 5 Sanity: 8 Prey: 3 Selfishness: 3
Combat: 5 + 9 + 10 + 7 = 31 Scheming: 8 + 6 + 1 = 15 Intent: 3 + 5 + 8 = 16 Ruthlessness: 3 + 3 = 6
Total: 68 / 4 = 17 Villain Points: 17 Villain Rank:

This is a fun little game. It ranks villains based on several dimensions of evil.
It's pretty much a bunch of "On a scale of 1 to 10..." questions, followed by some math.
Let's cut to the chase, here goes.
Category 1: Combat SubCategory 1: Skill Ranks the villain's natural skill and overall ability to fight (not taking into account supernatural powers.) Rate on a scale of 1 to 10. (1 = Weak, 3 = Not very skilled, 5 = Worthy Adversary, 7 = Strong opponent, 10 = Deadly)
SubCategory 2: Magic Ranks the villain's supernatural talents. "Magic" doesn't necessarily mean magic, but would apply to super powers or any other supernatural ability. Rate on a scale of 1 to 10. (1 = Doesn't utilize magic, 3 = Basics, 5 = Standard proficiency, 7 = Strong magic, 10 = Very strong magic)
SubCategory 3: Defense Ranks the villain's ability to defend themself. Rate on a scale of 1 to 10. (1 = Easy to damage, 3 = Weak defense, 5 = Fair, 7 = Hard to damage, 10 = Hard to touch)
SubCategory 4: Agility Ranks the villain's movement speed and athletic abilities. Rate on a scale of 1 to 10. (1 = Very slow, 3 = Slow, 5 = Average, 7 = Quick, 10 = Unnaturally fast)
Category 2: Scheming SubCategory 1: Phonetics Ranks the villain's use and gracefulness with speech. Rate on a scale of 1 to 10. (1 = Makes no sense, 3 = Weak speaker, 5 = Casual speaker, 7 = Articulated speaker, 10 = Artistic and convincing speaker)
SubCategory 2: Intelligence Ranks the villain's general intelligence. Rate on a scale of 1 to 10. (1 = Moron, 3 = Below average, 5 = Average, 7 = Above average, 10 = Genius)
SubCategory 3: Following Ranks the number of followers/allies the villain possesses. Rate on a scale of 1 to 10. (1 = Villain works alone, 3 = Villain has a couple subordinates or allies, 5 = Villain has a handful of subordinates or allies, 7 = Villain has a number of subordinates or allies, 10 = Villain has an army's worth of subordinates or allies)
Category 3: Intent SubCategory 1: Motivation Ranks the evilness of the villain's motivation. Rate on a scale of 1 to 10. (1 = Motivated by urge to help someone, 3 = Motivated by loss, 5 = Motivated by skewed world view, 7 = Motivated by jealousy or greed, 10 = Just a jerk)
SubCategory 2: Goal Ranks the evilness of the villain's ultimate goal. Rate on a scale of 1 to 10. (1 = "Hey, I want that too!" , 3 = "I can see where they're coming from." 5 = "A little selfish, but ideally we'd all have it..." 7 = "That's just crazy.", 10 = "Jesus Christ, the hell's your problem?")
SubCategory 3: Sanity Ranks the degree of sanity the villain retains. Rate on a scale of 1 to 10. (1 = Completely insane, 3 = Nuts, 5 = Loose grip on sanity, 7 = Disturbed but not crazy, 10 = Completely sane)
Category 4: Ruthlessness SubCategory 1: Prey Ranks where the villain draws the line in terms of their victims. Rate on a scale of 1 to 10. (1 = Only kills when absolutely necessary, 3 = Only kills within the means of their goal, 5 = Kills opponents, 7 = Would kill allies, 10 = Nothing is off-limits)
SubCategory 2: Selfishness Ranks the degree of concern the villain harbors toward their allies. Rate on a scale of 1 to 10. (1 = Values their allies/subordinates, 3 = Willing to reluctantly sacrafice allies/subordinates, 5 = Shows some concern for allies/subordinates to an extent, 7 = Shows little regard for the safety of allies/subordinates, 10 = Has no regard for the life of their allies or subordinates)
Got it? Good, add up the numbers for the categories, then total up the categories and divide them by 4.
Skill + Magic + Defense + Agility = Combat Phonetics + Intelligence + Following = Scheming Motivation + Goal + Sanity = Intent Prey + Selfishness = Ruthlessness
Combat + Scheming + Intent + Ruthlessness = Total
Total / 4 = Villain Points!
Now, you can give the villain a star rank based on this scale:
Sounds complicated, huh? Let me give it a try...

You know what's cooler than that? Not having to change disks and realising "LOL my console is dope enough that it can do in 1 disc what yours can do in 3... imagine what 2 discs could be like.... Hey aren't we getting an exclusive FF13 soon.... man.... if it's better than this..." *mind blown* <Insert Evil Laugh> I think you missed the point of my post entirely. =/

Multiple Discs makes the game cooler! It gives you this "Oh crap, dude, this game is so long, they need more than one disc to fit all this awesome!" I felt that way when I saw FFVII, and certainly when I saw FFVIII and FFIX. I was actually disappointed that FFX had only one disc.
So kudos to FFXIII. Also, lolfailstation3

Personally, I don't think it's anything like FFX either. The level-up system sucks, like in FFX, and it's the same character designer, but I think that's about it...
Everything else you cited can easily be compared to a number of other things beside FFX, so I don't think it really counts.
