To reverse my life's clock

Noximilien 'Nox' Coxen | Wakfu | pre-episode 26

Used to be a normal guy, got warped beyong recognition by a powerful artifact that isn't supposed to be used by humans.

Very not normal now.

Worshipper of Xelor, a god of time. Can manipulate time as a result.

Been alive for 200+ slutty, miserable years.

The source of all my problems is this cursed cube over here. The solution? Well, you see this cursed cube over here-

Certified family man. Missed his family so much he decided to drain life from entire biomes for a chance to turn time back and see them again.

On his way to genocide an entire race atm but it's fine it's good he will just reverse time after it so it never happens in the first place. It will totally work don't worry about it.

Feels bad about the things he does, will not stop doing them though.

Don't be fooled by his giggling, he is a very broken man.

I'm going to be busy next two months and unfortunately won't have time for this guy, so I'd like to drop Nox of Wakfu for now. He was housed in Townhouse 210

Nox will be dropped for you!

"It is not my intention." He says, voice showing nothing, the shadowy horse behind him. Though not to his standard, this sleipnir is one thing he won't be using into battle since it lacked anything distinctive for him to use.

"I would ask, where the nearest market is. I lack enough knowledge to properly tend to this being."

[tempsinverse]

He looks the other's monster over. Much like Timeblade, this creature would fit in well home, though it did look odd in the contrast with this city.

"It is not anywhere here, that much I can tell. Where it could be, I wouldn't know. Haven't been here that long." Timeblad moves closer and Nox waves it off, as if it didn't just help him.

"Can't help much more. As you can see, my speciality is clocks, not horses."

[zenobomber]

Aki always found himself gravitating towards people that could be considered "strange". Which...honestly, was a lot of people here. But strange to him was normal to others, and that too was something he was always understanding of.

But someone who seemed rather robotic, paired with a disassembled...phone(?) in their lap was enough to make him want to ask what they were doing.

"...ah, yeah. I mean I've got the fingers for it but these sorts of things confuse me...I think they've got like pens and stuff that can help with the touchscreen though if you can figure out how to put it back together."

Seemed like he was just curious about how it worked. He couldn't blame him - he had disassembled a machine or two in his time too.

[tempsinverse]

People here were quite talkative, weren't they.

"I used to be a clockmaker. I think I can keep track of pieces and where they go fairly well." He still is a clockmaker, really, just a more... militaristic type. Out of necessity. Nox picks up one of the plastic pieces with clear disdain that reads even through his mask. "If anything, I'd say this is less sophisticated than my usual creations."

And much less sophisticated than the cube, though that is likely for the best. Wouldn't want every human in the city to go mad from their own posessions.

"I might look into acquiring one of those pens for this device. If I ever decide to use it, that is." One of the pieces clicks back into place, followed by another. Without turning back to the stranger, he asks, "Is this something you do? Approaching people you don't know to strike up conversations?

[enfantdelumiere]

THREAD 01 || @tempsinverse

Someone was watching him. Or, at least, trying to track his presence. Something unfamiliar at the other end of the thread. Yugo pauses in his aimless exploration of the neighborhood. His wings bristle underneath his hood, as his eyes sharply scan his immediate surroundings.

"I know you've been following me, whoever you are. What do you want?"

[tempsinverse]

A sudden influx of Wakfu in the city is not something he expects to feel first thing after an eclipse, and at first Nox wonders if he simply dreamed it. Yet the feeling persisted through the day, only becoming stronger, as if the carrier of energy was getting closer as well.

Curious now, he followed the feeling, the Eliacube hidden in a pouch crafted specifically for it (what else is he supposed to do, leave it on his nightstand? it's uncomfortable but he'll deal, for now). And the feeling leads him here, to a weirdly familiar face.

"I am simply following a hunch. Most citizens of this place don't have Wakfu you see, so I was surprised to find someone who does." His head tilts the other way, looking the other over in a feigned confusion. "Say, have we met before?"

[tempsinverse]

@waloedblade liked for an event starter (Tots Below Challenge)!

"Freeze." The ticking noise Timeblade makes picks up for a brief moment before slowing down as the world around them slows as well. Nox walks over to the little tot, now frozen mid-air and places it into a jar that already houses three of the same creatures. The ticking noise picks up again, the world regaining its pace once more. The world, and everyone around them.

"I am not much of a team player, if that is what you were going to offer." He says, turning to face the man who now stood behind him.

[tempsinverse]

@schleckermaul liked for an event starter!

"There's no need for this." Nox bats at Timeblade as it hovers near him, ticking anxiously. This odd… creature that looked much like his creations was starting to grow on him - its abilities were quite useful while he lacked his own. Even so, there were things it could not do for him. For one, it couldn't help him keep upright as he swayed, forced to sit down on the ground just so he doesn't end up falling on his face.

The Eliacube kept him alive and capable of withstanding a significant amount of damage. It did not need to keep him healthy, so it didn't do that. Combined with his levitation being taken away (and the beating that old dragon gave him), well, Nox might be having some difficulties with getting around the city for now. A fact he was more than willing to ignore until his body decided to suddenly betray him.

Of course, the street just couldn't stay deserted a little longer while he caught his breath. His head snaps to the side, sharp like a hand of a clock, at the noise of someone approaching. At the same time XI Timeblade moves in front of him, the ticking sounds instantly becoming more aggressive.

"Can I help you?" The faux cheery tone is easy enough to pull off at least, though some annoyance does bleed through. Nox doesn't make a move to get up yet, if only because he's not sure he can.

I would like to throw this guy in the event, let him be miserable have fun with the challenges. Cap at 3, you can see his spiramonster here.

[tempsinverse]

(ty to @corruptedsorrow for spiramonster template!)

Nox's companion for the event is a weird little creature that consists of a sword and a clock-like shield that he named XI Timeblade. Like its master, it specializes in time manipulation. Can't talk, only ticks.

Very protective of its master. Will try to destroy you if you mess with him. Pretty passive outside of that but not without a sense of humour. Might try to prank and/or bully other monsters.

[tempsinverse]

ooc: tumblr support gave me my blog back \o/ yippee yay!!

[occultacarne]

@noxinamillion

Sun coughs once, then twice and then he rubs his eyes. Damn. They really felt blurred. NOT too bad, but it makes him wonder if maybe he needed more sleep?

As for the coughing...He didn't have an explanation for that. His throat felt gross. Almost as if he had been screaming. But when had he even screamed? He has no memory of doing anything like that.

Side glancing, Sun notices someone looking at him and he's already irritated. "What?"

[tempsinverse]

Sizing powerful people up is a habit Nox can't quite shake yet, even if there appeared to be no actual Wakfu in this world. And while experimenting with the different type of energy that the people here posessed is an option he's considering, the watchmaker is far too weak right now to actually try it.

So when he is called out at his staring, Nox just shrugs, shoulders jerking stifly with the motion.

"It's the summer, right? Quite a fitting season for a pollen allergy." The eyes of his mask narrow in wry amusement. "You should take some precautions."

"Mm... I love doom."

"Hmm. I guess we just have different definitions of the word "fun"..."

"Yeah, I was kinda bored, so why not?"

"Are you the one who stole my bag? Because the stuff in there'll probably kill you slowly and painfully. Just saying."

"I'd never inflict such a useless curse on someone!"

@kleinstar liked for a starter (rip)

Something is very wrong. He thought he was feeling weak after fighting the dragon, but this is even worse. Not to mention he has no idea where he even is, or where his fortress is. The only clue he has is the Eliacube held in his hands, pulsating weakly as if all the enerrgy he's been feeding it for centuries is gone. He holds the cube tighter, panic rising as he barely feels any resistance from the thing, until it responds to him in a quiet voice.

Calm down, Noximillien. The power you gathered is still there, but it is being... obstructed somehow.

The cube's aura is weak as well but the words it sends to him, however quiet, are soothing as always. Right, now is not time to panic. He just needs some answers. And while he is not as strong as usual, he is still not powerless.

In a flash of blue light, the man teleports next to a random stranger and grabs him by the shoulder. Another flash and both of them are back to the edge of the hole. Well, Nox is, the other guy is actually dangling over the hole, held up by his arm.

"Hello! My name is Nox. I have a few questions. Answer them well and I will not drop you."

[tempsinverse]

okay, a starter call to start things out with this trainwreck of a man! i'll cap this at 3 for now.
