Guardian of Light
"... I don't think it's safe anywhere, really. Who knows how long that shield of her holds. Perhaps shit will go and fly all over the cave again anytime soon." he says with his arms crossed and eyes closed "But then... Outside it's snowing and i fear that..." he pauses and opens his eyes "that the Guardian of Darkness is walking around freely as well"

"Altough. Alouette still has her own opinion"
He turns to Alouette "What do you think?"

((Ok, so looks like this whole thing with Catcocomics has been blown somewhat out of proportion (mostly by Cat himself, to be honest) and I'm just gonna throw in my two cents on the matter.

Catco, your character is undeniably overpowered. It's basically a jack of all trades, something for almost every situation. So far, when there has been something that needs fixing, you've provided the solution in the form of another trinket that we hear about only at that point.* Right now, as you've listed all your character's abilities and weaknesses, I still think it's overpowered. Sure, you got a few weaknesses, but the amount of abilities you posess is still too high.

-Good reflexes [effective when going less than 20 meters per second]
-Does not require atmosphere to survive [Though being crushed by anything = instant incapacitation]
-If body is destroyed, will rematerialize in a near-by location, likely incapacitated or damaged.

-Can fly several times faster than the speed of light. However, doing so negates reflexes, and may cause unexpected collisions.
-Phoenix rune scriber; able to scribe special spells using phoenix runes, though more complex spells have higher chances of failure or malfunction.
-Frost fire; able to create a fire than glows a bright blue and burns cold, though use of this ability requires 'star charge', and can only be used for long amounts of time when in close proximity to a star [close enough to see the star as more than a speck of light].
-Frost Form; ability to forge items purely out of ice, though only mechanical [non electrical/pyro kinetic] items can be created [such as frying pans, golf clubs, or even sword blades.]
-Good at sword play, speed-skating, and philosophy

-Ability to heal
Specifically these. I'm not saying each and every one of these is overpowered on it's own, because if they were on their own, or even just two or three of those abilities, then it would be quite okay. However, you've taken 11 abilities and made them out to be yours, while the amount of weaknesses you have is not in accordance to this. Sure, you may have 6 weaknesses (that's the amount I got from your post listing everything you got), but only 2 of those are actually weaknesses that are actually likely enough to happen that they should be taken into account (bludgeoning and simply knocking you out) and you can counter them both with relative ease, considering your mastery of swordplay and good reflexes.

Now, I understand that you made this character a long time ago, as you say (although that wasn't the impression I was getting when you hadn't told us that yet, simply because your character fit to solve our problems so perfectly), but that doesn't make him any less overpowered. Did someone review your character? Was it made to be in a roleplay? Right now, unless you tell me otherwise, I don't think the question to either of these questions is "Yes".

And now I get to the point where I discuss this discussion specifically. Catco, you got very defensive about your character, listing weaknesses and whatnot in OOC posts. Okay, it's cool that you have weaknesses as well, but we need to see them in your actual roleplay posts as well, otherwise they're not worth much. There was absolutely no need to get that defensive. Trap was, in my opinion, absolutely correct in his statements, he wasn't being rude or anything, he simply wanted to make sure this RP isn't going to turn out bad simply because of a godmodder. He provided several solutions to the problem we have, but unfortunately, you didn't even seem to consider any of them. Again, we're not attacking you, we're only trying to make this roleplay as good as we can.

So, to finish this post, I ask you to either choose one of Trap's provided solutions or come up with your own solution that solves the problem we have.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*- Okay, I haven't read every single RP post by you, although I'll probably have to at some point soon, so I can't really be 100% sure when making that statement, but from what I've seen and from others have stated so far, it's true.

((I think the easiest way for this whole "Catco is overpowered" situation would be for Jivvi to fuck 'im up good. He'll survive, but his power will be severely limited. We'll just say that it was absorbed into the darkness. ))
((That does sound like a good plan. Considering Catco's powers have contributed too much to the plot to flat-out delete.))

((To be completely honest I've also found Jivvi slightly overpowered too - not so much as Catco is but thats just imo ))
((Well jivvi is still the main antagonist here to screw up the world. So i guess this is well underneath the OverPowered bar for this kind of character.

Unless Jivvi immediately becomes invulnerable and claims he is made out of pure shadows thus making every skin-penetrating object phase trough him~))

(( I was considering this myself, but my power lies primarily in the Darkness, and on top of that everyone's out to get me and I don't have any allies. One could see that the extent of my power was far lesser before I ate the sun (possibly slightly excessive) I am not an I-have-a-magical-trump-card-voodoo-for-everything though ))

((For example. Jivvi might be all-mighty and powerful. But a punch in the face still hurts him))

"I'm not sure..." Alouette looks at Light and then back to Airis, considering each of the options. "I do want to make sure she's safe, but... I don't...."
I don't want to leave you.
She fidgets, restless. "I don't know. What would be better in the end?" She looks back and forth, trying to decide.

...
((Oh gosh make me think of Maximum Ride and Fnick will ya XD))

Who is 'You'?

EDIT: I'll be gone for 45 minutes due to having to travel a 60KM drive.))

I can't see in the dark so much as sense the living presences of those in the darkness also. The souls of those who seek me are visible in the distance, but off in another direction I can see a soul of blazing strength. I feel a chill as I extend my consciousness and detect Catcocomics' presence a short way ahead. He's flying at quite the speed. I will the darkness to solidify in front of him, but I miss a total of three times before forming the wall in front of him. A sickening crunch is all I hear, and as he falls to the ground, I take my physical form and stand over him. I extend the arm of my shadowed figure into a long tendril. The frost phoenix suffers mighty blows at my hand. I raise him up in the extended arm. Of course. As a phoenix, he regenerates rapidly. A more permanent solution will be required for this particular threat. Unlike the Guardian of Light, whose soul was only overcast by the valence spirit I sent after him, the Frost Phoenix's soul is taking the full force of the Darkness upon his very soul. I extend an arm around his figure, and then through his physical form. I wrench his soul out of his body; something the spirit could not accomplish on the Guardian of Light, and begin to crush it. I kick the shards that lay on the ground towards his body, which desperately absorbs them. I enjoy the sight of his crippled soul's faint glow in the darkness as I melt back into the shadows.

Guardian of Light He looks away from alouette blushing slightly "Y-You don't want to leave me?" he says slightly surprised. He looks back again "I guess we can have him" he points to airies "fly the girl to the magic guardian while we figure something out here... The frost phoenix will help him if something goes wrong, surely"
((I knew I should've said it in the last post XDD she didn't say that out loud,hence why it wasn't italicized and was on a separate line XDD))
