Ask Anthony Redo, Well, shit on my part.

Deleted the 'Redeployed' topic, right, 'cause it annoyed me just sitting there. So it deletes this one because it doesn't technically create a new one when I redeploy it. FML.

Continue with your question asking.

So, we just ask him stuff here then? ...Brutal. Well, seeing as how I've got quite a few questions for him...

1. Anthony, what's your take on the Giygas I'm using in the Arcadia RP?

2. I've linked you repeatedly to links to the Mother 3 ROM, and I know it's getting tiresome to hear it... but have you actually obtained it and patched it with the Fan Translation? I'm not about to link to the actual ROM, but like I've said, this 'Zebesian' fellow on DA has a link to the ROM right there on his journal entry on the page.

3. This technically only applies if you've got the Mother 3 Fan Translation going, but what do you think of it so far?

4. Edwardo, my Meowth character, has been 'connected' to Arcadia as a TFS-Companion, seeing as how he's an AU descendant of a Descendant. What's your take on him as a character? Don't worry, I can take anything you can dish out about Ed...

Hey GMA, this should be a relitively simple question but just how many different groups are in your posses now?

seeing as we seem to keep on adding to it, i have sort of lost track of just how many there are.

I've...kinda lost track too, Knight. So, I'm not sure. As for Ed's questions...

1. It's an interesting take...and I like the idea of using him since it's interesting to see how Giygas would get his revenge if he could.

2. Again...I haven't downloaded it yet, and with Pokémon Platinum now in my grubby little hands I probably won't have time to play it anyway. So...STOP ASKING! I may have to give Ed fleas the size of Yanmega in the RP if you ask again...

3. N/A

4. Actually, I'm always curious about what fanfic authors come up with for sons/daughters of canon characters, so Edwardo is kind of fun to work with. I have a question though: Who is SUPPOSED to be Ed's mother? I know I managed to get Meowth and Mewsie back together (sort of) for Arcadia...but who's Ed's mother in his reality?

(BTW...if you remember earlier in the RP, you met Anthony's son and Tails and Amy's daughter in that one supposed future.)

I'm sorry for askin' so much, man. Don't give Ed fleas, it'd probably drive him nuts! I'm fairly sure we don't want him scratching himself while Heartless run rampant...

Anyway, Meowsie IS his mother in his and FH's reality. I couldn't help but keep them together, after all; Meowth was such a deepened character in the anime.

And if you're curious to Ed's actual life before he met FH, you might be surprised by some events I have planned for him (namely, getting some summons from Final Fantasy). It'll give him a bit more fleshing-out to his backstory.

And thanks for the feedback on Giygas. In a few not-so-distant events I have planned, he'll probably be teaming up with ol' Porky Minch...

O_O;; Uh oh...THAT will be interesting.

Not sure how much help Porky will be since he's trapped in that machine. (Granted, he was pretty much useless since day one in Earthbound, but still...)

Blast it, and my first questions were well thought out too

1. Gods are all about in Arcadia...but we never see any from Earth. Could there be gods among Earth like Shiva, Odin, or Ra? Or is this too much of a touchy subject when it comes to Earth?

2. How come the Heroes Council doesn't use the same tech as the MADS when it comes to rift tech? The MADS seem to be able to jump from their hidden world to any world in Arcadia without needing a focal point like the main portals. So if the portals ever went on lockdown, but travel was still needed, wouldn't it be better to have that rift tech?

3. If Team Fortress ever existed in any of the Arcadian worlds, how would you imagine them? Would they be one race, or a mix of all Arcadian races?

4. Is there a way to figure out what is behind a portal before one enters it? What if Arcadia opened a portal that lead to Doom Hell or in the middle of a Resistance 2 Chimarian Gray Terriority? This is what brought those freaky creatures in Mist...so can one determine what's on the other side before you step through?

5. Tell me if this is sound...in alot of zombie movies, if your even scratched, your already gonna turn. Wouldn't it be more realistic if one carries the virus, but doesn't turn until the host is dead? The flash animation series Xombie hit on this that everyone alive is carrying the virus, but until the host is dead for 1 to 5 min, the infection takes over. This is more interesting then getting nicked and your turning. Why is this notion not followed in movies or video games? Do they not have the time to wait?

6. It's been confirmed that Crash and Spyro are going to be in your future fanfics and/or your RP's. But what of Jak and Ratchet?

I could probably answer the first one...I think it might be best NOT to do that, or, if one does, ONLY ones that are of ancient religions that have long died and become mythology. We don't need that thread turning into a gigantic religious debate.

Hell, I may be pushing it with references to Jim and family's Christianity.

Think of it this way; The 'Absolutely Safe Capsule' wasn't exactly made with Heartless in mind...

Anyway, new question. Do you do anything like donating blood or plasma? If ya do, Anthony, what do you feel is the karmic take-away from it?

@Ed: Sorry...I don't, and I'm pretty sure the blood I gave for my cholesterol tests don't count. Not sure what the karmic takeaway would be anyway if I did.

@Haz#1: Actually, I had it planned so all the gods, old and new, exist in some way. You might recognize a few of them. Here are the gods that mainly appear in Arcadia, with their various forms listed Earth(any)/Mobius/Gardenia/Hylas.

Gaia / Destiny / Great Tree / Makara
Chronos / Fate / Terran / Zal
Valkyrie / Aurora / Nimbia / Zephos
Raiden / Chaos / Tornadus / Cyclos
Terpsichore (Muse of Dance) / Ancient Walker / Floras / Din
Euterpe (Muse of Song) / Ancient Walker / Legumas / Nayru
Clio (Muse of History) / Ancient Walker / Shroomas / Farore

EDIT: BTW, searches for the muses led to this pic on DevArt. Which is...kind of a frightening image if this WAS the modern look of Polyhymnia.

EDIT2: Replace "Valkyrie" with "Botan" if on Ani-Earth. Oh...and does anyone know if the Ancient Walkers had names?

@Haz#2: We have it now. The Heroes Council members have "Trans-Comms" which allow them to create their own portals. Also, of course, we have Washu who can create portals on the fly, and the other techs can access that tech as well.

@Haz#3: Probably a mix of races. The Freedom Fighters of Mobius would probably make the best Scouts.

@Haz#4: No doubt Washu could help with that. She's not the greatest scientific genius of the entire universe for no reason.

@Haz#5: I'm...not sure, to be honest. I'm still trying to figure out what the Redead could be on Hylas.

@Haz#6: Haven't decided on Jak or Ratchet yet. I'd need to play those games...and I ESPECIALLY would need to know what the Precursors are in Jak's reality.

If you don't mind a spoiler on it, I'll tell you right now. Just highlight the text below to see it, 'kay?

The Precursors are actually Ottsels, the otter/weasel hybrid that Daxter became. Dark Eco apparently carries the genetic code of the Precursors in it. It's a wonder, though, that something so small could build such sophisticated technology...

But you've never played the series, so that's the only spoiler I'm giving you. You should really rent them or something, Anthony. It'd be a good experience.

Okay, question 1...

Can we ask ANYTHING? About ANYTHING? o.o

If sooo, then...

Question 2, when your boyfriend leaves you because he wants to make sure you two are the perfect match together by trying it with someone else to see if there's any "spark," when he's known her longer than he's known you, and you're extremely hurt about it but he doesn't want to hurt you anymore even though this entire thing's hurt you badly anyway, and it won't go away unless he comes back to you, and every time you ask he doesn't want to because he wants to make his own "Mistakes" by verifying his own curiosity, what do you do? ;-;

I'm not Anthony, but I can tell you already you need to kick his ass, either literally or metaphorically.

We're supposed to know that when we meet one of the many people there for us in the world, that we're made for each other. If your boyfriend feels that bond but has dumped you anyway, you need to fight like hell to get him back. At the same time though, you don't need to go Psycho McCrazygirl on him and be all clingy; find a balance between the two.

That's just my take on things; I've turned out to be pretty much a romantic fool when I'm not being a jackass or an idiot, so take what I've said with a grain of salt. Plus, this is supposed to be Anthony's thread for questions.

Uh...since I have absolutely NO experience with relationships, I must plead the fifth on that question on the grounds I might inadvertantly say something that might get me slapped by the entire female population of the multiverse. Sorry, SK!

Here's one for ya, Anthony.

If you were trapped in a zombie apocalypse, what would your survival group consist of, what weapons would you have, and where would you hide? I'm considering this one whole question, by the way.
