@fundevogel I faintly remember tell of something dark and evrul lurking in the lonely corners of Fluther. A mad beast that picks its teeth with baby bones and weans it’s young on the blood of gods.
That’s probably the most badass thing I’ve ever heard.
This is an interesting and fun question. I love @Nullo‘s answer. Seriously, Neptune. Just look at him. Smiling with the remnants of someone in his mouth. I’m sure Kefka from Final Fantasy VI would appreciate this.
Neptune just doesn’t fuck around. You can’t defeat this guy. However, seeing that, in order to meet Neptune, you must go out and look for him of your own will, instead of him being part of the storyline like a regular final guardian, I’d say he’s more like an optional boss…one of those optional bosses that is even stronger than the final boss, like a lot of the Final Fantasy games like to have. (Ruby, Emerald, Ozma, Omega) You don’t have to fight him though. He’s optional. But he’s nigh unbeatable, and you shall die if you confront him…yeah man. Yeah. Neptune. Neptune the optional crazy ass boss.
However, crazy ass bosses always have some actually really easy method one can use to destroy them, most usually a method that requires hours and hours of time wastage in order to meet the final preparations needed for confrontation. Then they’re really easy. Like Neptune…just get Fluther to resurrect your sorry ass, and Neptune can’t say shit.
This question has got me thinking…who here on Fluther would fit what role in a video game? If I take a traditional JRPG (Japanese role playing game; because they always have the most epic last bosses, even if they’re always either angels, or giant trees) approach, I’d make myself the random mercenary secret character that’s some psycho Viking with a hammer, roaming around somewhere. Money, beer, chicks…you got something worthwhile to offer, I’ll lend my aid, if you think you need it. But then, those types of characters usually have some backstory that can be explored with the right conditions met, and @KateTheGreat won my soul with zombie up fucking. I was not loved up in the frozen North, until she came along.
Now, @TheBastard…I see him as the all knowing wise man in his study with all his books. He knows everything about the world and what threatens it. He gives the characters their quests, the explanations around the quests, what needs to be done and why. He cares about people, and when you walk out of his office to undertake a mission, he says, wait. You turn around and he’s got some crazy firearm over his shoulder and he’s all like…I’m comin along, bitches.
I totally want to rip off this question and ask who in Fluther would fit what role in any given game…but we got ourselves a quest goin down up in da hood, ya.
