If I may venture an opinion. I think this whole discussion on Xion's character was just one really huge misunderstanding and his considering to not frequent this forum was due to his becoming defensive at the first criticism of his character because possibly he's gotten it before and is thus bristly about the subject.
Couple of points I'd like to make in an attempt to kinda calm this down a little.
Firstly, you made an evil character on a website devoted to a non-evil goddess. Did you really expect not to get the occasional jab here and there?
Secondly, you made a *godly* character on an RP forum of (what I've observed as) mostly casual RPers. Now I respect that you spent so much time building up Xion's stats and think they are well deserved after all the effort you put into it. However, as I pointed out, we're much more casual here and coming across such a seemingly overpowered character will make people hesitant as they will begin to assume you expect to come out on top after every RP you participate in, that you will godmod and get testy when someone doesn't die instantly if you so much as look at them funny. Does this mean people won't play with you? I don't think it should, but for the sake of other players you should (if you don't already make it a practice) remember the other players when engaging in RP and don't just expect that since you're so powerful that all will fall before you.
It's also worth mentioning that the longer you hang around here you'll notice that the barbs and jabs exchanged are mostly for the sake of a cheap giggle and never really meant to offend anyone.
To put things simply, my advice is that you just not take things so seriously. And that applies to all of you who seem to be getting defensive as well. Really, we're all just here to have fun.
Perhaps this site isn't for me?

You stated your offensive term to provoke me. Now I'm here and you find excuses to attempt to free yourself of the charge? Grow some balls and take effort and claim what you where attempting to do. It's plain as day.
Either way, if you really didn't mean to offend me, then you wouldn't have continually had to feel that you needed to offend yourself. As I stated previously, if you don't want to role play with me, simply don't.

No, I made an evil Drow on a site that involved an open alignment system that had Lawful Evil as a choice, thus meaning that even if most the occupants were followers of the Dark Maiden, or good, that it's not a standard that's needed. Second, what fun is a site when everyone is "Good" an wholesome? By all means their has to be some form of wicked that doesn't think through NPC to keep the gears running.
Third, my character is NOT godly, but as I've stated multiple times, I've been tweaking with him to better suit this site, so I ask that everyone drop attempting to use that as a means of excuse to not role play with my character. With that said, if I really did want to strike fear into everyones hearts then I believe I would have jumped into someone elses thread and started the Slaughter. Xion has yet to be posted with any weapons, or any offensive actions twards anyone, so also keep that in mind. I came to role play, not for Drama, I came to venture through the aspects of fantasy in thick, and well thought out story. Maybe I do take things to seriously, but Role play is an enjoyment, and the moment I step into a place that people instantly judge me, blindly judge me, it doesn't give off the best of impression of the people of the site. Not only did I have a need to defend myself from such hungry assumptions, but against constant bickering. Xion is powerful, but he's not even considered high in the Mild Powers area. Keep in mind that I've stated he came from another forum, thus the reason for tweaking him for this one.
Thank you.

Was this part of your post really necessary? That specifically sounded like an attempt at a retort, or a personal attack, call it what you like... Bleh... I'm online to role play, not involve in pointless squabbles. I'm unsubscribing from this thread. Simply put, if you boys don't like one another, don't role play together. I personally don't prefer to role play with anyone that does less than paragraphs, but that's just my preference. Xion, you rock as a role player, if anybody has a problem with your character's level (since the admin already said you're not breaking any rules) just ignore them. Why waste your time or stoop to bickering? Call me later!

I'm getting kinda bored with the bickering myself.
But before I drop the subject I'd like to point something out to you, Xion, for your benefit as much as mine. I don't want you getting the wrong opinion, because I very muchly do like your character from what I know of it. I was just giving my opinion of what people MIGHT possibly assume based on the facts as I know them. I wasn't trying to attack you, just giving my two cents into why you may or may not have gotten the reception you were looking for.
With that I say buh-bai, and hope we can call you our friendly neighborhood antagonist from here on.

Am I the only one noticing we're fighting because of some idiot with low self-esteem?
Every Dick, John and Harry, says every jackass is welcome. That includes you Stevie. Be you evil or not, be you over-powered or not, NOBODY CARES!
Tyrmer is not the brightest around here, so just ignore him. His miss-use of sentences is quite normal. Nobody ever takes him seriously anyways.
Post your RP, who comes along, comes along. Most of us can't or won't post, because it can take weeks before we can even get sight of the magic digital box with stereo.
Take Shirl'le for example; she puts up one post and then we don't see her for a year...
And who the Hell ever said this was a forum for "Good" players?
What am I supposed to be? Angel of the year? And what about Mikayla? Whom we haven't seen for years... Don't forget Ssiurn...

I wasn't aware Rooky was an evil character, then again I've never seen an RP of yours so I guess I wouldn't.
In any event I didn't say it was just for good characters, I said "devoted to a good aligned goddess". Didn't mean that to sound derogatory to a person's character choice.

I do respect your opinion, don't get me wrong. But I just hope people can also understand my point of view as well. With that said, I do thank you for attempting to help, and I hope we have enjoyable roleplay in the future.
