002 [video/action]
Who: Ardyn Izunia and YOU
Broadcast: Yes
Action: SS Red Fish and Fleet Wide
When: Now
SS Red Fish:
Hello there, friends! Ardyn Izunia here to honour you all with his presence. How is everyone adapting to their new ships and prisons, hm? The food is quite distasteful I have found. A pity our charming hosts couldn't have used their imagination a little more to whip up something more....delectable.
[Please feel free to ignore this guy's rambling over the network. He loves to talk. As for those already on the SS RED FISH....you'll know this guy by now.]
Now, down to more serious matters. I address you fine people on this network to ask some rather important questions.
[He adjusted his fedora and composed himself slightly.]
During my last scuffle with another crew member I realised that my powers were limited somewhat. In fact, I could not use them to my full potential at all. Also, I bled for the first time in years. This is not supposed to happen. At all.
Tell me, does anyone else have magical powers and if so, have yours been handicapped in anyway now that you're here aboard these ships? I am certain that or hosts are capping our powers so that we do not destroy each other or their fleet. If someone will enlighten me on this I will be very grateful. I may even reward you.
[Don't take too much notice of that. This guy is a liar and a good one at that.]
Another question and this is to our captors, our alien friends, or captains or whomever they might be.
What technology is being used to power these ships and how are new ships just created to quickly to accommodate new crew members? I find it astounding that such feats of engineering can be accomplished in such a short length of time. It's almost impossible.
I, myself, use a technology back home known as Magitek. Some of you out there might know what I am referring to.
[As in Luna, Noct and Ignis. You hate his Magitek soldiers, don't you?]
Kitchen:
[Those who might be wandering around on the SS RED FISH might find themselves in the kitchen area, where Ardyn is currently tasting all the different gels. His faces are dictating which he likes more and which he downright hates. Feel free to come and pester him at your will.]
Disgusting. I wouldn't feed this one to my dog. If I had one.
[Umbra. How could he forget?]
Engine Room:
[Now, this is a room that the Chancellor is interested in a lot. The engines. The power of the ship. The heart of the beast. Ardyn slid his hand along one of the humming walls and smiled. He could almost taste it's power. He was curious as to what drove the engines.]
Such technology. Who designed you, hm? I wonder how you'd fare up against my Magitek engines back home.
[Picking up a tool from the ground, he rolled it over in his hand a few times just thinking. If you happen upon him in the engine room he'd be in deep thought.]
Med/Science Lab:
Well now, what do we have here?
[Ardyn was enjoying his self-guided tour aboard the SS RED FISH and was now in the medical bay it seemed. This is where all the science and first aid happened. He sat on one of the beds and placed his arms behind his head, relaxing somewhat. If anyone walked in right now they'd find him sprawled out on one of the med beds like a king. How fitting...]

[Similar to the power used by the Lucis kings. Him and Noctis also wielded the power of the elements and it seemed this man did too.]
Back home I am able to wield similar magic derived from the elements; fire, lightning and ice. Yet, my powers have been halted somewhat by our delightful captors the Atroma. Still, I can wield something...
[He held out a hand and summoned a flame to flicker brightly on his palm.]
It seems we share similar strengths, my friend.
no subject
Where I come from, most 'casters specialize in one or another of the eight elements, the ones you've mentioned among them. I might be able to do that if I worked at it for a while, but to call on fire, lightning and ice with equal facility would require a rare degree of talent, or else the wielder would find themself restricted to lower-tier spells, unable to reach peak capacity with any of them.
no subject
[Enlighten him. He may just be prying for information but right now he has all the time in the...universe it seems. This mans thrives on intelligent conversation and talk of magic is most stimulating for him.]
no subject
There are four pairs of elements which oppose each other: Fire and Ice, Water and Lightning, Wind and Earth, and Light and Darkness. Most half-elves are naturally inclined toward one or another of these, although they can choose to train and focus on any or all of them. But as I said, normally the more elements someone trains in using, the less strength that person will have in any one particular element.
For myself, Lightning is my natural inclination and what I've specialized in. I also have some Light-based abilities that come from enhancements I gained later in life.
no subject
[He liked the idea. Can you tell?]
Does every person in your world specialise in one element and then build on that?
no subject
The ones who have access to magic at all generally do, although there are exceptions to anything. What about yours? Are there other elements besides the three you mentioned? Do people normally have access to all of them?
no subject
Hm, not that I know of. We mainly just use the three: ice, fire and lightning. They are the three main ones that exist within my world, but we can also use the power of the wind in our attacks and the power of the seas when the need arises.
