So MSPA crashed New Grounds. - Derosis - 2011-10-28
Yes, but here's a real odd one. Is Bec a bad guy or a psuedo-good guy? He killed off most of the wanderers and killed most of the kids and the trolls dreamselves. Yet I feel like this was all planned to happen for some reason. He is an omni-god so he should be able to know everything that will help out Jade since he made it to where she knows "everything" now too.

Chaotic Neutral imo. He's partially omnipotent. If he was fully omnipotent, then he would have prevented Jade from being killed based on his anger, no? Unless we're going to peg down Bec with having a sort of pseudo-messiah complex with regards to what must be fate, then Jade's death was outside of his understanding and caused him to spiral into anger.
Dnd wiki Wrote:Chaotic Neutral is called the "Anarchist" or "Free Spirit" alignment. A character of this alignment is an individualist who follows his or her own heart, and generally shirks rules and traditions. Although they promote the ideals of freedom, it is their own freedom that comes first. Good and Evil come second to their need to be free, and the only reliable thing about them is how totally unreliable they are. Chaotic Neutral characters are free-spirited and do not enjoy the unnecessary suffering of others, but if they join a team, it is because that team's goals happen to coincide with their own at the moment. They invariably resent taking orders and can be very selfish in their pursuit of personal goals. A Chaotic Neutral character does not have to be an aimless wanderer; they may have a specific goal in mind, but their methods of achieving that goal are often disorganized, unorthodox, or entirely unpredictable.
An unusual subset of Chaotic Neutral is "strongly Chaotic Neutral", describing a character who behaves chaotically to the point of appearing insane. Characters of this type may regularly change their appearance and attitudes for the sake of change, and intentionally disrupt organizations for the sole reason of disrupting a lawful construct. Characters of this type include the Xaositects from the Planescape setting, and Hennet from the third edition Player's Handbook. In Advanced Dungeons & Dragons, Chaotic Neutral was frequently assumed to refer to this subset.
Captain Jack Sparrow, Al Swearengen from the TV series Deadwood, and Snake Plissken from Escape from New York are Chaotic Neutral characters according to Complete Scoundrel.[7] Slaadi represent pure chaos outsiders.

We have the heir of breath, the witch of space, the knight of time and the seer of light.
I wonder just how strong they are combined now...
And i s'pose Jade is by far the strongest of them seeing that she has power from the green sun too now.

If this is going to have a good ending, Jade is needed to serve as a counter-element to Bec, Lord English, and other outside elements. The only other possibility for possible story balance with a nerfed Jade would be for Bec's neutral chaos agenda to be of benefit to the protaganists or for Bec to blatantly have a change of hearts. Both possibilities presented with his affinity to Jade. Jade's coming to power imo allows Bec to regress back into his traditional alignment and to cause conflicts allowing the story to shift back into battles and fighting. The Bec-Jade association was perhaps there to give intermission to plot development in order to develop the next battles that will occur in the story. If the story broke apart from gradual/plausible development which is possible due to time/space shenanigans, it could also just introduce a deus ex machina without Jade ever assuming power. However this imo maximizes the amount of plot possibilities for the author preventing him from being backed into an undesirable ending and also fits logical plot progression according to mass expectation.
If you saw the battle with the Black King, Aradia was basically there to turn the fight into a "fair" one for the trolls. She directly didn't do much to assault the King aside from assisting Sollux. Similarly, Jade should have a similar role with creating a "fair" battleground in which the kids can fight Bec/Lord.

Well Nepeta is the Rogue of Heart. So there can't be anyone else except bringing her back or doing her side story. And Terezi is the Seer of Mind. So I don't know what else they could do but make Terezi go god tier and I don't know wtp they're gonna do about Nepeta.

Then all the trolls would've been God tier already.
