Enkidu... It would make any conflict very anticlimactic.

[Brahmastra]

Seeing Karna and Gil come into conflict (on any level) should prove very interesting indeed.

I feel like Karna might also be one of the few enemies Gilgamesh would ever take somewhat seriously from the start. Again, this goes for any angle of confrontation.

While I'd agree on the serious part, that just means Enkidu is gonna tie him up worse than Sakura in Mike's old torture porn lemons.

Just to clarify, this is, much like Brahmastra's Karna, a combination of Gilgamesh from the Epic and Gilgamesh from Nasu. Because seriously, the Epic of Gilgamesh is awesome.

[Bloble]

Hmm, what is Medea going to do now that the people at the compound have shown that they're stronger than she'd expected...?

They have shown no such thing. Everything that occurred at the compound and the castle falls well within expectations.

Also, you've thwarted me simply by not answering the phone. To think that would be my defeat...

[Mooncake]

Literally at the point where trying to nerf Gilgamesh is like trying to lift a mountain. The Epic crushes me every time I try to say "well, that sounds a little too much" - and then a recheck confirms it happened. I don't even.

[Bloble]

Congratulations, PARIAH. You get to fight a joke character.

[Umbra of Chaos]

This will truly be a battle for the ages Bloble.

[Brahmastra]

Whelp, fully incarnate Karna is strong, as expected.

That armor is probably one the the worst things to deal with.

Well, get his sheet up!

Also, be sure to add, he's the "CEO" of Golden Rule; Nexus's version of Wayne Corp.

Also Karna has been approved, but I'm watching for any OP Shenanigans.  *Waggles finger*

Gabriel can take an Excaliblast to the face and just smile.  Then again, he nullifies magic.

[Brahmastra]

Just gonna throw it out there before he actually has dialogue that Karna may come off as knowing a bit more than he's told about people, to the point where it may come of as somewhat metagamey to some people. This is the effect of writing in Discernment of the Poor, which allows him to read and understand people's true natures, including the parts of one's character that go unspoken. Just giving a fair warning ^^

Well, that's fine, but you can't start assuming things about people's characters based on your own opinion of them. You can use your own moral judgement (or, rather, Karna's) to interpret things, yes, but you can't (for example) say that a character has an evil side deep down if the person playing them says they don't.

The ability, as per both nasu!canon and the mythical equivalent, is the ability to flawlessly perceive the personality and value of someone, even the deepest and darkest corners of their minds. I guess I should take it up with the actual RP moderator instead of with you.

Probably the best way around it is to consult the actual player when using the ability so you know how to have Karna react. There are... a few special exceptions to this where this might not quite work (I won't say the name, please don't bring it up any further than this, etc), but for the majority of the players, I think that'd work.

As you said yourself though, it may not hurt to talk to Elf as the GM about this too, see what she has to say. An extra bit of caution every once in awhile never hurts, after all.

Holy shit can you actually read minds, this was pretty much what I thought about.

The player is the one who decides what personality their character has, not the GM. You don't decide what is in the "deepest and darkest corners" of my character's mind.

Well, even in that case, whilst it is fine to interpret a character's actions and intentions differently from the player's intentions, you can't decree that a character has darkness in their mind when their player says they do not. You can interpret a character's actions and thoughts as evil against the player's own beliefs, but you cannot say what their thoughts or true intentions are.

Talking to the GM might make sense, but ultimately a player decides how their character thinks, even if that is not in line with your interpretation of their character.
