Title: Who's the Lex Luthor to your Superman...
Post by: Ember Vykos on 10 Apr 2013, 19:52
...The Joker to your Batman and Robin, the Magneto to your Professor X?

No really, who is?

Who do you view as your character's arch nemesis or your corp/alliances arch enemy?

Saw this thread while I was cruising through Chatsubo looking for some info and thought we could have some fun with it. Unfortunately my current character is still in the planning stages so I can't really answer, but wanted to see what people would come up with.

Note: Once I get setup and RPing again I hereby reserve the right to necro this thread and give my answer.  :D

Drake Arson would be a close second.

Aria Jenneth. Both for Katla and Ruby, actually, but in entirely different ways and for entirely different reasons. Katla has a lot of affection for Aria, for all that they invariably find themselves ideologically opposed to each other. Ruby, on the other hand, loathes Aria with a passion. Aria is really the only person Ruby has ever hated.

Post by: Ché Biko on 10 Apr 2013, 22:31
As far as organizations go, it's the Goons, with the Blood Raiders a very close second.
No individual really fits the bill since The Broker has apparently died, so Ché has to settle for himself for a bit (the song I've chosen as Ché's themesong is about The Sentry/The Void).
But if Ché would ever become sure that Sansha is indeed evil, it would be him and his Nation. At least for as long as he is pissed about being deceived.

Post by: Katrina Oniseki on 11 Apr 2013, 00:48
I could cheat and just boringly say "herself"... but I'll give detail.

It's the haunting memory of Simca Develon.

Easily her most debilitating weakness. The sudden loss of Simca crippled Katrina and has left the entire window she saw the world through webbed with cracks in the glass. She questions everything now, everybody. Effects from the loss are an arm long list.

~ tumultuous relationships with her friends, often seeing the worst in everything they do and ignoring the best
~ severe decline in career performance resulting in her assignment away from the Syndicate zone
~ seclusion from most of the places she used to frequent, preferring only to float her liver at the I-RED Lounge
~ paranoia that borders on the superstitious now (she was already paranoid before)
~ frequent nightmares of losing Simca or others in various ways, often clearly at fault
~ "pod terrors", a form of waking nightmare or delusional panic attack while plugged into the capsule
~ decreased interest in diplomatic approaches, increased aggressive attitudes

She is known as the face of I-RED, and she's going insane. It's a miracle only few have noticed the signs and begun to question her merit. I say it's a miracle because that would only make things worse.

In my opinion, nobody and nothing is a greater threat and hinderance to Katrina than her inability to let go of Simca's memory.

Post by: Pieter Tuulinen on 11 Apr 2013, 00:51
Pieter's nemesis is probably his temper and, therefore, himself. He strives to be even-handed and reasonable when he's in control of himself, but secretly he fears getting angry enough to do.... well, bad things.

Thus far the bad things include beating an insurgent to death with his own buddy's assault rifle and shooting up crippled Capital ships over Home.

Post by: Karmilla Strife on 11 Apr 2013, 02:10
When Karmilla was an Amarrian loyalist it was going to be Laerise.  I had this great plan to take on some petty feud, spawned over nothing (a convo while I was running highsec anomalies to be precise.) However after a certain point, I had zero contact with Laerise, and I'm not even sure they (player or character) realized something was up. The whole thing fizzled and became nothing.

Years later, exactly the same thing has come up. Except it's not my idea. I guess that's what it's really supposed to be about. So I think my nemeses are Mitara and Aldrith.
Title: Re: Who's the Lex Luthor to your Superman...
Post by: Lithium Flower on 11 Apr 2013, 04:06
I never tried to position my characters as Lex-es or Superman-s, Jokers and Batmans. And, citing one of my characters, I would like to say, that for me "having personal nemesis is not professional".

As close to nemesis, or personified enemy, I could name only leaders of opposite factions, but I guess everyone understands, that just killing a leader doesn't kill faction. Thus, no nemesis for me.

Oh, and my favorite RP against enemies is putting on stormtrooper helmet and screaming "Die, rebel scum!"  :P

Post by: Lyn Farel on 11 Apr 2013, 04:36
In her youth until she got into the pod, her mother without a doubt. Her death was like a rite of passage for her.

After, probably Jade Constantine. She is one of the strongest antithesis Lyn has ever had : anarchism vs lawful order, and a way to twist transhuman/posthuman ideals in such a way that it made hers and Jade's completely opposed eventually. Where Jade was only concerned about a variant of the law of the strongest, Lyn is obsessed with society control.

After TEA, she may have find herself opposed to PIE Inc on several occasions. Not that it made them a true nemesis, but it could have been.

It has now been pretty much replaced by the Ardishapur heir, or their family in general.

As far as nemesis goes, new-Seph would have to choose Silas Vitalia, as she's the most visible head of the Blood Raiders. Koronakesh would come second.

Now if someone could just beam her over to EU tz so we get to shoot each other more often I'd call it a perfect match!

Title: Re: Who's the Lex Luthor to your Superman...
Post by: Aelisha Montenagre on 11 Apr 2013, 06:54
For Aelisha: The SCC/CONCORD generally provide her with a target of ire, though that is mostly legislative as she is anti-'globalisation' in a cluster sense due to the greater opportunities there are in fragmented economies; for people with the known how and cybernetics to overcome linguistic and calculative barriers faster than base-liners and some peers.  As a law abiding citizen, she;s beneath the notice of such institutions, but I'd definitely say that capsuleer representatives such as Grideris and Caellach receive a lot of silent of soft spoken ill will from her, if only because of their status loyalty to what she sees as an inherently flawed regulatory system. 

For Solarienne; the list goes on.  The Federation pretty much nestles like a tumor in her brain at the terminus of every line of logic away from her hatred for what has become of the State and the aspects of Nation loyalty that grate on her few remaining ethical qualms.  Anyone espousing the virtues of the Federation is an instant blacklist, and those opposing Heth receiving a similar level of aggression.  Sol is not inclined to reason or debate her dislikes, except when ROE conflicts with such.  So far, TS-F ROE has allowed her to vent her considerable hate for these entities, and some individuals, considerably. 

Notable capsuleer 'nemeses' (if such a term can be applied when she's mostly shooting through the person to decimate the flag they stand in front of) include Seriphyn, Soter and Andreus; mostly for their current and/or former militia ties - Soter for his perceived grand standing and part in pushing 'freedom' on people against their will, Andreus for his running commentry on State affairs as a Federation citizen (combined with prominence, a lot of people do this, but Andreus has been on Sol's radar longer).  Generally, Sol is far more of a hair-trigger personality than Aelisha, so is far more capable of putting names to her hate than Ael is.  On the other hand, her reasoning is usually spurious and ill defined - Nation is only adding to the list of 'crimes' she perceives as unforgivable perpetrated by the people of New Eden.

Silas has nothing but love for her Amarr Brothers and Sisters. Sometimes you have to hurt the people you love, though.


I'd say top enemies are Kingdom, Empire, and supporters.

She's observing a ceasefire against the Covenant for upcoming operations, but replacing Omir Sarikusa is always at the top of the list.

If some of you capsuleers want to be on that list you need to come embarrass me socially or in space (it's not hard to do either).

Awwww... now you changed my mind completely.
You see, I hate all these hero-villain, good-bad side relations, but all these knighty stuff that you was talking about, really turns me on! Like I dunno what. And now I feel bad that I don't have such nemesis, with whom I could pop each other ship like that like you with Ava  :cry:
I really want to find me some sort of "white knight" now, but im afraid there will be some complications. And the main of them is that I am myself not a knight, but an angry spacebiatch  :eek:

For Mammal:

Yuri Intaki is certainly his nemesis. As an Intaki, she is anathema to him. He is also not a massive fan of Simon Coal.

There was a time where he would have considered Anshar and Milo his enemies, but he has taken a less confrontation approach to them, especially since they eschewed their ties with Serpentis.

For Val:

Silas Vitalia, though she seems a somewhat popular choice (I guess it means that whatever you're doing Silas, it's working)

Also he is starting to brew up a dislike a number of hardcore Caldari loyalists.

Post by: BloodBird on 12 Apr 2013, 17:59
No specific Nemesis, though Vikarion has supposedly been named one for me. He is rather high up, but only one of who knows how many on BB's special shit-list for people who betray their species for whatever reasons. (EoM, Sansha, some pirates) Somewhat below that special place, are any and all are-currently and has-been pirate-friendly people (Angel loyalists, Guristas, Serpentis members, etc) and somewhat below that again are unaffiliated pirates who work independently.

Due to the fickle nature of capsuleer loyalty there are a lot of folks on this list, even if it's not officially written down anywhere atm, and my only concern is that eventually I may end with to many people declared as enemies :lol:
Title: Re: Who's the Lex Luthor to your Superman...
Post by: Uraniae on 13 Apr 2013, 03:06
For Uraniae right now....no one, which is honestly surprising given the reasons for what my other answer is going to be.

For Uraniae at character creation and her first few months as a capsuleer, Revan Nefaris.  I can't even recall how many people I've actually shared this information with and part of me is wondering if it's a good idea to share it OOC rather than IC, but...meh.  For Uraniae, Revan represented the worst possible notable face for the Sani Sabik.  Revan appeared to not only perpetuate the worst stereotypes thrown on the Sabik, but appeared to revel in them.  For a long time it was my hope for Uraniae to work her way into various circles of people, get into Revan's orbit, and eventually make a move to oust Revan or fail spectacularly.

Don't have one.  Hate Nation as a group, but only to the extent that missions against them--and Incursions for a brief period of time--are especially satisfying.  Everyone else that really bothers me (IC or OOC) gets blocked before things escalate to nemesis status.

Vulgarity, poor manners, and perversion are Makkal's nemesises. Nemsii? Nemeses?

Vulgarity, poor manners, perversion, and irregular plurals are Makkal's nemeses. For specific capsuleers, that's something of a moving target as some nights it's like they're all attempting to outdo one another.

I wish that I had a satisfying answer to this. But my RP is pretty stale these days, I have no meaningful relationships.

Halete is her own enemy, by-and-far, and her dementia is only getting worse, which in turn is leading to her dropping off of the radar.

Quinzel is too far off of the radar to have a nemesis.

You had set Elmund to negative ten. Elmund in turn sets Anya to negative ten. It doesn't mean Anya is in his shitlist, because he sets every single hostile and every single pirate to negative ten for convenience sake. It just means to him 'this dood is hostile. Shoot to kill!'.

Back on topic, Elmund Egivand considers EVERY HOOKBILL EVER to be his nemesis. The extent of his hatred for Hookbills is such that the mere mention of a Hookbill makes him froth from the mouth and scream incoherently about 'FIVE MED SLOTS!' and swearing to kill every last one of them because 'BREACHER DEMANDS IT!'.

Updating since previous response here:


Samira's nemesis is Nauplius, without a doubt. It's become very personal since his podding of her.

I can also foresee major issues with Havohej and Mizhara, depending on how things progress on that front.

Basically anyone who deliberately targets slaves (chained or free) is someone Samira has a very emotional response to.


Ava is another 'villain' for Samira but the relation between the two is a lot more 'cold war' than any kind of active hostility.

Desiderya also, due to Pieter issues.

I had the joy of having Eran Mintor as Gottii's personal nemesis, though Im certain he would have only named Gottii an antagonist, not his main rival. 

But man, he was a great nemesis. 

First off, even before I RPed in EVE, I was aware of the guy as an amazing pilot when I was just a nubbin in the TLF.  It helped that he has the RL voice of a war god. 

Then, I joined EM, and just added that Gottii looked up to Eran IC, namely because he was a big name, and a great pilot, and a good guy, and it made a lot of sense. 

Then, he joined the Crusade, and all the sudden he was a war target.  Drama!  Angst!  Must shoot him!  It was great.

We shot at each other a few times, though rarely as much as I wanted.  We chased each other around the war zone a few times, but I never got the one-on-one I was hoping for.  Its a huge EVE regret actually.  He was a great pilot and FC. 

Moreover, he was a great guy to RP with.  I hammered him IC (while trying to make clear I held him in the utmost OOC regard, I think I might have sent him an EVE mail stating that OOC).  He always took it in stride.

In fact, one of the few times I really enjoyed RPing on the IGS was with him.  Gottii and Eran had a long drawn up arguments about the war, about why we fought it the way we did.  And it was great, oddly enough.  Both characters admitted that they were haunted by the possibility that the other was right, but that the only choice they had as Brutor warriors was to fight an ugly dirty war the only way they could.

It was great. 

AND THEN, to save the universe from some kind of apocalyptic paradox caused by really enjoyable RP on the IGS, the CCP servers went down, and that entire f*****g thread chain was lost when they set the forums back three hours or so.  Im not making that up.  I was furious. 

Eran asked for the posts to be recovered, but it never happened.  I growl thinking about it to this day really. 

Anyway, if he ever reads this, dude was a great, really added to my game, and to Gottii's IC life.

EDIT:  Also a shout out to Mitnara.  For some reason we shot at each other a lot.  And she was hot.  So it was fun.

Ah yes. Eran's voice on vent, telling us all about 'shrooms and stuff while waiting to depart.  :P

I think that thanks to him I got my biggest adrenaline fueled moment in that game when he just decided suddenly to leroy his revelation on that snuffbox spider tanked pirate BS gang in Huola. Jumped into my Naglfar and we had a blast, literally. And we both survived and tipped the balance of the fight, oddly enough.

One of those moments in Eve when you look into the face of death, and death looks back into you, and you suddenly feel at peace and all :D

So far they are:
Sansha Kuvakei
Mens Reppola
Jacus Roden

Unfortunately, can't think of anyone of capsuleers, good enough for nemesis role. Well, there are some "famous" enemies killed and died to their hands, but... I don't know. The list of them is rather large, including known fleet commanders, and there is a desire to kill them faster by any means necessary instead of just "fighting" or "competing" to them. But, heh, if anyone feels they could take the heat, feel free to come being my Lex, I meanwhile will polish my crystals for megapulse lasers in eyes  :P

Can't think of a good nemesis really. A lot of people screwed with Miz over the years, but the only one who could be a nemesis have barely interacted with her. Samira's this really cool mirror image. Same upbringing. Same blood (largely). Same sense of not belonging in the Republic. Perfectly opposite standpoints. All the makings of a great set of comic book enemies.

And the closest thing Miz has to family, heh. Pity that.

I took a break from lowsec pirate pew pew to spend a few weeks in FW once or twice; I remember hopping on amarr comms with Eran and co. fleets a few times.  Very odd environment. 

I think I remember it a bit different; he seemed to flip out and rage a lot over voice, but considering facwar comms are often crazy attempts at herding cats in the same direction and a lot of random nonsense I don't blame him :)

Liam doesn't really have a nemesis... (yet). Though, I suspect, Pieter would be the closest thing he has at this time and their relationship is more of a mutually respectful disagreement of ideologies.

Malcolm's arch-nemesis...? He had two in his early days, both of which were overshadowed by one in his last days. His early days were definitely Tiberious Thessalonia (because Mal despised Sansha Kuvakei) and Milo Caman (because Anshar used to get all up in his kool-aid). His latter days were all Veikitamo (and to a lesser degree, Desiderya) whom he felt had betrayed him and stolen his corporation from under him using corporate manipulation and backstabbing.

This is a tricky one for Karynn as there isn't any one individual who she despises.

However, she percieves the Republic as the biggest threat to Thukker autonomy, and she can't stomach the thought of the Thukker settling down on equal terms with the other tribes, hence her dislike of Aeboul, Shakor and Republican loyalists.

Hmmm.

For Arnulf it's the fallen Matari.

Most of the ex members of Du'uma Fisi for the murder of all those liberated slaves. Eran for joining the Crusade. Scagga was a favourite back in the day, along with the female character whose name I can't currently recall who left U'K to join his organisation.

Also the people he considers to be truly toxic ideologically. Prominent Sansha, Blooders and EoM types tend to rattle his cage a tad.

Oddly he opposes the Imperials, but can see where they are coming from. He just disagrees with them. Hatred doesn't enter into it.

I tell you, the perfect FC voice always understates the danger and sounds bored or slightly less bored most of the time. Also pompous and calls for tea time at 4pm in his local time.

For Liuni it is probably her previous drug use that keeps trying to pull her back. Not the blue pill or a drink or two here but the Hallucinogens that offer no benefit to pilots and at worse cause them to over react or shoot things that aren't there.

Whenever she has a problem that can't be solved that ends up being her response instead of a good cry or a lashing out like when her friend Evi left for Sansha. It has been the only thing to really cause as much damage as a Lex in her life, and something that has been interesting to play during her highs and lows as a person.

Kala doesn't have one particular nemesis that I can think of. She's had enemies, sometimes, and rivals but no-one I can definitively say "This person is the big bad (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BigBad)".

Recently, Kala's only real conflict has been with Kalo Askold, who Kala considers to be an irritating little upstart who's mouth is considerably larger than her brain. That's not really nemesis territory though, but it is unusual that Kalo has genuinely managed to annoy Kala; a character who is normally extremely thick skinned.

Many years ago I would have said Ava Starfire, because Terra Matar was awesome to fight, and Val was so much self hate for her heritage as Minmatar, yet she was continually being bested by them....Ironically the outcome of all this is Val is much more positive on the Minmatar now, in fact more positive than she is on the Amarr or Amarrian culture in fact.

Val really doesn't like PIE, she wouldn't openly cause conflict with them being under contract (and a diplomat of all things), but she never forgave them for their mistrust in her during her first time in the militia (which caused her to wardec them, a couple of times if memory serves), not that they were wrong in mistrusting her, just that she tried really hard to throw off the image of being over sansha, all the while running mission for them in stain :P

Odd note, she still wants PIE to like her, despite her negative feelings towards them. So, occasionally she will try really hard to convince someone from PIE that they have common ground outside of simply being in the Amarr milita.

Also she is super bitter/angry/in unrequited love with Rek Jaiga.

She's kinda gotten over it. She's been living among the Amarr, and the Blooders have made it pretty clear that Anslo does not have a monopoly on being cruel to helpless people.
