nano_mooseSO there exists a shapeshifting lifeform, created by a reasonably evil genius scientist mostly to show off his evil.
1) It/he - the distinction's pretty academic - is a living weapon. He's agile, strong, fast, adaptable and durable, with a capacity for knowledge best measured in the same terms as supercomputers, a foul mouth and a built-in, overwhelming urge to destroy.
2) No matter what his intentions, good or bad - and they're rarely good - he causes chaos. He is therefore pursued by the authorities and his creators, who are in an uneasy alliance. The former wants to contain or destroy him. The latter would rather cut him apart and put the pieces in something controllable.
3) The one thing stopping him from ending human civilization as his instincts demand is the location he happened to be unleashed upon. It's an island and his mass is too dense to displace enough water for swimming.
4) In a head-on collision of him and a truck, the truck comes off a lot worse.
Now that I have dispensed these facts, the question: am I talking about Alex Mercer a.k.a. DX-1118, or am I talking about Stitch a.k.a. Experiment 626?
(If you can't picture Mercer retorting to accusations of lunacy with "I prefer evil genius!", you probably take his canon more seriously than I do.)
(Also, in a manner of speaking, I'm back from hiatus. Things are different, and one of my plans for next year is to explain how! But that may have to wait until I am not on a parental computer that is filled with evil. In the meantime, enjoy game rambles and Happy New Year!)

Date: 2010-01-02 01:07 pm (UTC)I’m playing Alex’s game now. It’s fun. I hate it. I would be much happier if it was genuinely a lacklustre game, but it isn’t, it’s fun. Curse my weakness for hoods and parkour, curse it!
Thank you! I am pleased to be back! :D
