MURDERMEME

[jupiter_bands]

As the game has taken a grim turn this arc, we bring you an appropriately grim meme.

1. Tag with your characters
2. Reply to those who tagged in with a character's name (doesn't have to be played by you, in fact it could be any character in the game)
3. They then have to reveal how their character would kill that person if forced into a situation where they had no other choice. (Or, for some of our villains, just if given the opportunity). Why do they have no choice? You don't have to get into it, but some possibilities include that maybe something worse is waiting for that person if they don't do it first. You can address it in your answer or just get right into how they'd do it, it's up to you.

In some cases... mostly Alex-related cases, conventional methods wouldn't work, and not everyone would know that. Feel free to answer either how they'd try to do it not knowing, how they'd do it if they somehow found out that information, or both.

CONTENT WARNING: Obviously the whole point of this is to describe violent and troubling scenarios, so if that doesn't sound like the meme for you, no need to read!

Ravindra

Alex

[paladont]

He could very easily get trapped into having to kill Alex because of molavvas problems, and even though he's not as strong as Alex, he's very well-equipped to take down a molavvas. Binding Light, Seraphic Radiance, a series of high-level heals. It'd probably happen in a genuinely life-threatening fight and he'd do it mostly in a panic, trying to subdue Alex and killing him instead by accident. He'd be very distraught over it.

Rei

[paladont]

It's difficult to imagine a situation where he'd have to kill Reilanin, but if it ever came down to Upas vs Bastan Guard and he was forced to face her, he'd end up doing it by accident during the fight or facilitating somebody else killing her. He'd want to get her out of the way non-lethally, but in the midst of a battle, that's difficult to manage, and other fighters would step in to finish her off before he could stop them.

Rayu

[paladont]

If it ever became necessary to kill Rayu, he'd do it with a duel. Agree on the terms beforehand: loser dies. Make sure it's a fair fight. This is partly to keep it from feeling like a murder and partly to give Rayu the chance to prevent it.

He probably wouldn't fight at full strength buuut then I suspect neither would Rayu since Rayu thinks Ravi killing him is the only way to redeem himself.

[justabard]

He'd do that jerk thing where it seems like he's so perfectly avoiding Ravindra's attacks that the show can go on a little longer.

Then whoops suddenly stopped moving.

cry forever

Duncan

let alex do it for him

Iravati

[paladont]

They'd have to end up on opposite sides of a conflict somehow for this to happen. Even if the guard figured out she was an assassin and tried to have her executed, he would do his best to prevent that. He loves Bastan but he loves his sister more, sorry guys.

It'd be a situation like Reilanin's, where he's only trying to incapacitate her but ends up getting her killed by someone else by doing that.

Ezra

[paladont]

HE CAN'T KILL THE SPENTA WHAT THAT IS JUST

THERE IS NO WAY TO JUSTIFY THAT, GOOD-BYE PALADIN POWERS

HE CAN'T EVEN MAKE IT A MERCY KILL BECAUSE HE'S A HEALER

well unless it was brain damage

he can't heal that shit, it could be a mercy-kill if Ezra was vegetative

[catchingseasons]

His parents (if they were real)

[paladont]

FUCK YOU DAD

FUCK YOU

Ravi would not even care about keeping his paladin powers through this one, he would just straight up murder his father. He would even do it assassin style and not give a fuck. Stand over his father bleeding out and be like THIS IS WHAT YOU TAUGHT ME, YOU ASSHOLE, NOT SO INCOMPETENT NOW AM I

use that knife he always carries around because of his dad's training, too

and if he lost his paladin powers over it, he'd go back to the Spenta and explain himself and petition to get them back BECAUSE REALLY, WHO COULD BLAME HIM FOR THIS ONE.

[socarnivorously]

damn, son

[paladont]

he REALLY hates his dad okay

his mom is kind of a non-entity so he wouldn't try to kill her too, or if he did it'd end up being because she tried to stop him from killing his dad

[catchingseasons]

Val

[paladont]

omg fuck val seriously

but he doesn't want to kill her, that's kind of intense for a personal dislike of someone

however, if he felt like she would become a threat to others, like her wild druid don't-give-a-fuck hijinks were imminently going to put people in danger, he'd strike her down to prevent that. Combo of magic + swordplay, no backstabbing here.

[catchingseasons]

wow how could I forget

Rasmus

[paladont]

ras ;___;

man i don't even know if he COULD kill rasmus. like, if ras is physically capable of being killed by a shortstop healer like Ravi.

if it were absolutely crucial to kill Ras, Ravi would do it by omission. Just neglect to heal him during a fight and let him die from his injuries.

[catchingseasons]

Anais

[paladont]

He would probably end up killing Anais by omission too because gdit his guard buddies he cannot kill them those are his peeps!
