Omniverse Standings - New Blood Rises

[Proto Man]

Every now and again, I used to post up lists of characters by their OM, in order to promote competition and highlight growth.

I'mma bring it back and use a new thread, to highlight the fact that most of the people on the list have only been writing for... less than six months? Ten months? I included people who have posted and/or visited in the last three weeks or so, with one or two exceptions.

Shang - 8,935.58 OM
Luffy - 8,620.84 OM
Kuzan - 8,522.20 OM

Inlumia and I both have five digit OM totals, but I'm not including us because we'd be absurd outliers. I also excluded Ganondorf, Link, Harry, and Samus because, while they still lurk, none of them have had a chance to post and also have five-digit totals.

With this said, who do you think is the most dangerous in our crop of new primes? I don't just mean because of omnilium but also because of personality, motivations, objectives, connections... that kind of stuff.

For me, I'd put Kerrigan and Dark Link at the top of my list, because they have a lot of talent and motivation and could easily mess up stuff (posting pace aside, of course <3). I'm also curious to see how some of our combinations of new members play out, like the Forest group and the trio still in the Nexus. If their members remain active, both could easily lean on one another to rise to prominence.

[Yoshimitsu]

Actually Proto...I never got my 300 OM from November's voting shindig, so I'm a little higher up on the list.

Also...I nominate myself. Because I'm freakin' Yoshimitsu. My sword will swallow your soul.

[Schwi Dola]

Not really interested in competition.

Actually Proto...I never got my 300 OM from November's voting shindig, so I'm a little higher up on the list.

You never decided what character you want it for. It is written on his reply in the November Voting thread as decide.

[Proto Man]

Not really interested in competition.

Well let's hope it's not interested in you. frogc00l

[Atelos]

SPARTA!!!

[Peter Quill]

...and the trio still in the Nexus. If their members remain active, both could easily lean on one another to rise to prominence.

#TeamNewbs (Being Quill, Fawklin, and Gherron)

[Blackfire]

Blackfire! Coz I have more OM than five of ya!

No, in all seriousness, well done guys. Best crop of newbies I've ever seen on an online PBP RPG!

[Inlumia]

It is tempting to name some Evil characters schemers who want power, such as Shang and Ditto. However, the schemers in this bunch seem sub-par.
Let's look at the 2 examples I have given.
Ditto wants power and is seeking to establish a criminal empire in the lower Tiers. He did not do any research or try to make connections in the upper tiers. This shows a very bad lack of planning.
Shang is driven by arrogance and a hunger for souls. Despite having very good combat powers and is skilled in slight manipulations of people, he has show a lack of planning.
Part is due to his arrogance in being sure he can manipulate things and knows what the situation is.
He has done numerous mistakes, but the most major of which was devouring a soul of a guardsman in front of a witness he can't silence and who may mention it to others who will know exactly what that type of energy was.

Others who are schemers have been too impatient to fully be considered high level dangers in scheming. Of the regulars, only Ganondolf and I have shown the proper levels of patience and trying to make connections. Still, when you think about it, we are the only 2 long term players who are schemers (except Omni)

Others characters have shown flaws due to their arrogance, which will hinder them greatly. Vergil considers human inferier to Demons, and may let slip. Considering he is in Darkshire, a town where the locals hate demons and are experianced in killing them, that may cause him problems

[Proto Man]

Shang is evil? Sounds like slander to me.

[Inlumia]

Read my sig.

[Simon]

Hm. As of this post, my OM total is 6666.42. I don't suppose that could mean anything, could it?
