@Ash_Walmer: Wow you dont say. So is he a character dependant on gadgets? I dont mean to be nosey its just that I tend to get intel on my targets before well....you know :)

EDIT: Just checked that link.

@Mr_Winchester: Well that is for you to find out the fun way old bean ^_^

"Changed raccoon" my ass.

THIS.

Also, Didn't know Ash was a racist XD

Aba has no code, from one moment to the next, he lives in a land. of whimsical murder death kill-isms

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Ethics.

Kratesis has a code.

SLAKE doesn't get used unless she intends to kill.

If she gives her word, she keeps it. Period.

when does Kratesis give her word?

@Vengance101: She made a deal with Mercy once.

@Kratesis: so not anyone can get it rite? >.<

@Vengance101: She doesn't go around giving her word to people lightly. That could be used against her!

@Kratesis: which scenarios would she give her word to some one?

@Vengance101: I'm not sure, generally when she wants something she can't get any other way.

In Mercy's case she wanted to get inside information on Gambler, and twist the knife by turning his allies against him.

She is more important than anybody and everybody else. Utilitarianism is a lie. The most good for Arturia should be the law of the land, everywhere.
 
This has become a problem lately, because she's started making connections and caring about others, even to the point of risking her life. Big problem.

@Kratesis: ahhh

thx for the explanation :]

@Vengance101: Sure thing :-)

• Killing is not the answer.
• Stealing souls to gain more power is the supreme way to combat threats
• Sins are an intrinsic part of human nature. They should be embraced.
• He is desperate to continue his bloodline by any means necessary.

• NEVER Kill Innocents, But if someone's paying you, Odds are they f*cked up something bad
• Only use theft and basic crimes to achieve a worthy end.

Everyone is fair game, except for family, never kill family.

Ashley Knightfall: Show mercy to those who are merciless. Show grace to the disfavored. Show love to the hateful. Show forgiveness to the resentful. Protect the defenseless. Help the unfortunate. Give to the needy.

Observe the psyker with caution.

Slaughter the alien without mercy.

Deny the demon with your hatred.

• Kills only when absolutely necessary.
• Normally sees using telepathy as unethical and an invasion of privacy.
• Studies opponents before engaging.
• Never uses dark magic.
• Always chooses peace when an option.

Ashley is made of

• You should never underestimate your opponent even those who are crippled or elderly. Ivar the Boneless, Son of Ragnar, suffered from a condition known as osteogenesis imperfecta, but despite this, he was known for being the leader of the Great Heathen Army in 865 AD. He became the most feared viking of his time due to his brutality, battle strategy, and much more. (Imagine being a cripple in a viking society).
• Think more with your head and less with your feelings.
• Killing should be a last option when protecting society. Killing during wartime is unavoidable. As for mythological creatures, kill them all, they'll just reform in Tartarus.

We are fundamentally disagreed on these.

@emperor_von_doom: Lol, she kills during wartime if that means anything to you :P

@shield-maiden:

No! Hatred is strongest, and during war isn't the only time when enemies appear >_>

@emperor_von_doom: Very true, but there are options in a civilized society while in wartime there is only one course of action. Helena believes you should only kill someone if there is no other option and if the government can’t contain the threat after it’s been stopped. Now wartime is a different story ?. Helena and her people follow the Geneva Convention by the way ?.

They're missing out.

Rad-weaponry, phosphex, and volkite weapons are all really fun to use on bloodthirsty aliens! :[

@emperor_von_doom: Are the bloodthirsty aliens ruthless and evil? Do they ever surrender?

@shield-maiden:

Well, this is a basic breakdown: Orks want to fight everything, Tyranids want to eat everything, Necrons want to kill everything, Daemons want to corrupt everything, Eldar and their various incarnations want to be the only ones who survive, and Tau want to rule everything with their dumb SPACE COMMUNISM.

I think that's it.

And no, surrender isn't an option for any of them. They're all dumb.

@emperor_von_doom: Then we will slay them together lol. Helena and her people are willing to bend the rules of the Geneva Convention depending on the circumstance they are in, forgot to mention that. They certainly will not kill innocent life though, that’s one rule that will not be bent.

@shield-maiden:

Well, that's reasonable. Just following the conventions of the Geneva Convention when the targets are completely and utterly inhuman by nature is sort of redundant.

WE SHALL CRUSADE TOGETHER!

@emperor_von_doom:

@shield-maiden:

I mean... if you really want to >_>

A little complicated, depends on various factors. However, a few constants:

• Avoid unnecessary casualties.
• The mission is most important. Whether it's stealing or killing, focus on the job first; all other things are secondary, unless they present a threat to Valentina's own safety and fulfilment of the mission.
• While on the job, a person is "innocent" if they aren't worth any money (i.e. a target), regardless of who they are as a person and what they've done. Unless they present a threat.
• While on the job, a person is fair game if they are the target, no matter who they are as a person, how good or what they've done. If Al Capone wants Mother Teresa dead because she reported his illegal activities to the cops and got him arrested, and he's willing to shell out the money, MT gonna die.
• Make it as painless as possible. Unless they're an asshole.
• Injuries (but not deaths) to civilians are okay when it's played for leverage. Gratuity, however, is not okay and she'll try to avoid permanent damage when playing this game.
• Lies are great tools.
• Jobs create solidarity. Partnerships are sacred. Unless of course the partnership itself was a ruse to achieve some other goal from the start. That's just part of the game. But that's different than a genuine partnership established to complete a task.
• An eye for an eye leaves everybody blind. So if someone betrays you, when (not if) you retaliate, you'd better take enough to ensure they can never take anything from you ever again.

• Protect humans
• Kill synths
• ???
• Profit... maybe

Cull is wholly convinced that humans are either extinct or endangered at alternating times of the day. He doesn't know which way is up, but he'll be damned if he won't get there.

Kellan's ethical standards are unconventional. They're founded upon his disbelief or unbelief in heroes and heroism in general and how he identifies as an "avenger" as opposed to a hero. It is his belief that heroes are ultimately failures at worst and good natured fools at best. His rationale behind this belief is that heroes cling so rigidly to their righteous morals and code of conduct e.g. self-imposed no-kill rules etc. that their ability to effectively and efficiently tackle threats to society are held back by the moral limits of their own codes.

For this reason, Kellan believes heroes to be selfish as they always avoid the discomfort of taking difficult decisions that conflict with their subjective beliefs but ultimately benefit the many, making heroes more likely to let a villain go under the false pretense of "giving them a second chance" or "showing them the error of their ways" and risking future incidents instead of immediately terminating the threat e.g. killing the villain. Staying true to their morals while evil triumphs is the only success Kellan believes heroes truly experience, and as a result, he has little respect for them. Instead, he identifies as an avenger given his desire to punish those who commit crimes and acts of villainy.

Saving people directly accomplishes nothing in his opinion, and even simply killing criminals, terrorists etc. will yield limited success. Instead, Kellan's goal is to establish and propagate a culture of crippling fear in the world in order to prevent crime. His attempts at doing so involve subjecting his enemies to excruciating torture, both physical and psychological, and the public use of terror tactics e.g. hanging the flayed skin of a villain or criminal in very elaborate and public displays. It is all done to induce enough fear in the general populace that even the foulest people will think twice before committing crimes or evil given the consequences he presents.

He reasons that while many criminals and villains are willing to die, they are not willing to be permanently disabled or tortured to the inhumane extremes he goes to. And fear is his primary weapon because few things embed into culture and last for generations like fear and the superstitions it inspires.

FBGM

Code of ethics? As in a set of rules I set for myself to avoid doing dumb things? No, thanks. I think I can avoid doing dumb things without setting rules for it.

Save lives. By any means necessary. And never, ever kill.

• Vincent has always refrained from targeting innocents.
• While he may not agree with most, Vincent won't go out his way to openly insult someone who shares a different point of view. He'll even hear them out in an attempt to understand their motivations for doing whatever it is their doing.
• Vincent is a pragmatic killer. He'll use whatever means he has available to end a situation as fast as possible.
• He doesn't care much for honor.
• To Vincent, a killer is a killer. Those who hide behind outdated notions of honor and duty do so to lesson their sins and justify their actions.
• Has a very low opinion of himself.

@_dirge_: Vincent is an unsung legend in the game these days. You've fleshed him out incredibly well and remained devoted to the character for a long, long time.

@_dirge_: Keep throwing shade and Vincent's gonna run into the wrong end of an arrow with the back of his...back, I guess. -____-

@rosso: Who am I throwing shade at lol?

@hawkshade: Thank you ^_^

"Myeeaah, who am I throwing shade at? Eeeh, I don't knoww."

@rosso: I'm being honest. Vincent fully acknowledges that he's trash. He killed his own men in strix's place to speed up his regenerative abilities after Cassandra drove his sword through his spine. He did it to survive. He didn't kill them in Abigail's name, or anyone else's.

@_dirge_: I didn't call him a hypocrite! [Not here at least. Abby does that in-character though. ;-P] I'm just saying...it's pretty clear he's throwing shade at the one who spared his life!

She'd also say it was ironic.

@rosso: Not really. To Vincent's knowledge, Abigail doesn't kill. What happened at Blackhouse was an accident when she lost control of her powers. Actual murder is premeditated and thought out. From Vincent's pov, that was an accident. Now a'days, Vincent is focused on rebuilding the League into something new. So if Abigail has started to kill, then he's not aware of it.

Originally, Vincent did think that Abigail was naive. But deep down, part of him wanted to buy into her code. She seemed genuine to Vincent because she truly was. She made Vincent believe that redemption was at one point possible. But given the way that Vincent was raised, not to mention Dullhamit's lie and everything else that happened with Strix and the League...now if anything, Vincent see's himself as something that's expendable in Abigail's war with strix. Seriously, wasn't meant as a slight.

@_dirge_: I was talking more about the fact she [usually] tries to conduct herself with honor and acts on a sense of perceived duty. >_>

And nope. I'm not gonna talk about it here because I'm gonna save that in case something happens IC. ;-P
