I didn't play RI, so I have no idea what your talking about...

All right, picture this. The basic "America" faction's general hires an insane psionic vampire to go after what I believe at the time was a man heavily infused with nanotechnology. The vampire does so by walking into the middle of a city (might've been Helsinki, we leveled that city about once a week) and exploding things with his psyblasts. Jon, a werewolf, decides to start fighting, as does Peter, who comes out to investigate the guy screaming for him to come out and punctuating his shouts with explosions.
A fight breaks out. Since I got myself into more than I had expected with another random combatant muddying the waters, I used a trick I had been hoping to hold in reserve for awhile, which is probably my most trademark maneuver from RI. All my characters had a gate-based teleportation power in some form or another. I used it to start bouncing attacks back at people by opening a gate in it's path and opening anther one, say, right on their chest, exit pointing towards them.
Due to them having a lot more powers than I did, I quickly got approval for a second ability that other people would eventually also pick up but was also one of my trademarks - a nullification field that canceled all powers within a good mile radius. The fight broke up not long after that, but it was good times.

And that was a normal day, too.
I think my first big fight was against Lady Violet. She chewed Peter up and spit him out. Then he got up and left.
Then I fought Bass, who turned into a demon and tore most of Peter's insides out so Peter dropped a small tactical nuke that leveled the hotel.
I fought John's characters alot I believe but essentually anytime someone with a supernatural background went after normal humans Peter was there and shotting at them.
He even fought Hope Dayspring, the high powered android, a few times because he had filed her as a threat to human kind.
Virgil, on the other hand, just did batshit crazy stuff every other day. He'd show up someplace, shout nonsecuiturs at someone, and then start beating on them with his twelve foot long tongue while slashing away with a sword.
Peter the Owl becames something of a living joke through the course of RI because I gave him new powers all the time AND I stacked powers ontop of each other. He had like four layers of shielding, tons of weapons, and the ability to counter act essentually any other power on the board. He literally possessed more individual powers than any other character on the board. He literally had the abilitiy to: pull a rocket launcher out his pocket, stay not long alive but standing at ground zero of a nuklear blast, warp physical laws at will, and combat deities on level footing. When someone did a power scale of the top twenty most powerful characters in RI Peter came in just believe the elder dragons and above a few deities. He was what really defined my role on the board for a long time.
Be fun to bring him back, along with all the other big hitters for a massive brawl.
Say... that might be a fun "side quest".

Void was pretty savage by the end of it too, since he had his whole obliterate all matter abilities. I never really got to use him except against Satsujin, where he was outgunned massively.

There's nothing quite like letting a high powered character totally unload. It's like chain casting 9th level spells, total rush. In having a fight that carrys on for ten pages of posts. Ah, back in the old days when I just started that was all we did (back before I joinned RI).
I think we tried a colussem style thread once. We delared it open to anybody who wanted to jump in. As I recall it didn't go over quite so well, it sort of faded away after we got too many people doing too much. Alot of god-moding as I recall.

Yeah I remember some arena stuff. That was the problem with the high-powered RI, it lent itself to some spectacularly bad god-modding.

It was sort of a nightmare to run Red Infinity. There were many members and lots of activity, but all of those high powered fights lead to conflict between members and I just remember feeling very burned out by it all after a while.
But I am glad that I could create something fun and popular for people. I would like this site to become popular as well, but not as busy hopefully. I would like it to be more self sufficient so that if I go away on a trip or take time off, I know that people can keep posting with each other.
If anyone wants to help out more, let me know. I think one of the main things that are always useful for me is playing as a variety of characters so that new members have someone to post with and so that there is a diversity in things going on in the world and in characters.
Some premades that might be useful are Walden, High Priestess Succinite, Leilah the Red Dragon, Armin Lehrer, Kith, and Hector.
So if anyone is interested in those characters let me know.
Also more Das Ende, anarchist, socialist, red infinity, or regular human characters in general are useful. It creates more conflict in the story to have those sorts of characters.
If any one can think of anything else that this site may need or that they could help with, let me know.
I am not lazy, but the less work I have to do, the happier I am...and the more likely the rpg will be something long lasting and successful.

That sounds good to me. If you need any help with that idea, let me know.

Actually, you could help. Got my old profile somewhere? Look on YOA, but it isn't there.  |

I deleted a massive amount of spam from the site, and accidentally deleted the profiles in the process. So, sorry about that.

Noooooooo worieeeeeeeees bro!!!!
I'll just redo him.
I remember the basics. Can he be a demi God? I'll tell you the story later if you want to hear it, at least the one I plan to use. It makes a lot of sense.
