At first, you learn that his name is Zepheren.

At the end of the game in a cut-scene, he murders his assistant and takes his body and gains a new sword.He's the final boss.

[Metal Man]

Illian Macgregor, unassuming mailman. You start the game simply sending mail and fending off dogs. Then one day you get an odd package and people leap out of a portal and steal it. Naturally, you want to stop them, so you run in after them.

You run into an apocolyptic future which, as it is explained, was caused by your lack of being in the past and delivering a letter which would have told a boy who would go on to save the world of his destiny. But while you're there you see the people after your package. You run off mid-backstory rant to chase them--and grab it... and even run off, before being shot up and having the package taken away.

You wake up, having been healed by some strangers who inform you that you nearly got some important package they originally needed. Which is odd, as the person in your time is who it was addressed to. Nevertheless, a long journey results.

You adventure through the world, finding it strangely like your own, just that everything's gone to pieces since you left, 200 years ago. Across your journey you get increasingly injured and have to replace parts of your body with interchangable mechanized parts--and you eventually see that the person who stole the package is also from your time!!!

Eventually, almost entirely encased in armor, you corner the person in a run-down neighborhood. They explain the package contained information which, had it gone through, would have prevented his further time travel. This confuses you, naturally.

Then he explains that not only did he invent a time machine, but he did it when you gave it to him. Using the time machine, he pinpointed a hero who was going to save the world... by killing you.

Still, you and your friendly stranger-alliance beat him to a pulp, knocking the package free. About to kill him, you punch off the characteristic strange mask he wears... and see a twisted version of your own face. He taunts "Was it worth it?" before dying.

Naturally, his death ends his meddling. Knowing what you must do, you go back to undo the whole madness--even though it would strip you of your newly acquired awesome powers, it would be at the expense of the world!

So you find the man's time machine and go back to the fateful moment where your side of history got unhinged. Naturally, it freaks you out to see that man appear, only to be punched away by YOURSELF!

Upon meeting yourself, he mentions that "the Man tricked him, and in giving back the package he simply allowed the whole thing to repeat itself, but without you, Illian Macgregor, stopping it. The world got even worse until a chance group found your DNA and made a clone, who then proceeded to put things right."

But something is off about this man--he doesn't resemble you as closely as you should. Accidentally or not, you hit him and reveal him to be an illusion. Of course, to properly prevent the time loop, you then hand the package back to yourself.

Control resumes on yourself, who sees the armored you, the illusion you, AND the strange man you vanish. It is like nothing happened. So you go to the house to deliver the mail, once and for all.

Sitting right inside the house is the very man you punched out. "I've been expecting you." He stands up, smirking. "This whole time I was testing you. You survived the most adverse situations I could cause upon you and repaired time itself. Work for me and you may return to your true greatness. Refuse... and I can always kill you before this moment."

You point at him, noting how you averted all that and he couldn't be there. But his return remark leaves you cold. "I am the person who receives that box... and kills you... if all goes as planned." But for some reason you give him the box anyway. It becomes obvious when he opens the box and realizes the problem.

The box contained the time machine all this time, and in opening it he averts the apocolyptic future. However, the you he kills is... himself, for as seen in the future, he was apparently an alternate version of yourself whom had been doing this nonsense all this time. With his death, you have yourself one free time machine and you successfully complete your job--which, surreal-ly, the old mailing job GUI pops up and informs you have succeeded.

And it fades out there.

Confusing, eh?

[1-up Salesman]

My brain hurts.:smashhead:

[PK FIRE!]

Nice and twisted Metal Man, I love it.

[1-up Salesman]

AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[PK FIRE!]

The pain of others makes me happy, so THAT's why the tea from India was coveted so much it tasted like oppression!

[Galefore]

Is this a joke topic?

Because if not:

A Final Fantasy game not tainted by Tetsuya Mother****ing Nomura. That would be awesome.

[1-up Salesman]

No, it's not supposed to be a joke topic. just post RPG ideas.

Vinyl Fantasy 45: The Search for Otis

Jed and Hildie, an aging couple born in the early fifties, decide to relive their youth. They go through their record collection, reminiscing the days of Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix. Jed remembers how much he loved Otis Redding, and remembers that he had a 45 of "Try a Little Tenderness." However, he looks through his collection only to find that the record is missing.

Join Jed and Hildie as they travel like rolling stones to every Mama and Poppa shop in the Bay Area searching for a 45 of Otis Redding's "Try a Little Tenderness." Make sure watch out for the giant beetles and zombies of Oakland's velvet underground. Need to get to San Francisco fast? You can always cross the San Francisco Bridge over the troubled water. Scared of bridges? Then come on, and take a free ride on the Jefferson Airplane.

Final boss: the ridiculous prices.

[1-up Salesman]

I said that this isn't a joke topic!
please, this is getting really old!

[Bomby]

I wasn't joking. What are you saying about my idea? You wanna take this outside?

[1-up Salesman]

... that idea sounded like a joke to me.

[Bomby]

You know, maybe young punks like you can't appreciate Otis Redding, but he's serious business to us grown folks. He died in a plane crash, you know. If I had a 45 of "Try a Little Tenderness" and lost it, I'd be looking all over for a new one, too. You kids with your newfangled Napstar and Kaza can't appreciate that quest, can you? No, you would just download an M3P of it.

[1-up Salesman]

oh, sorry. I didn't realize that I was talking to an oldie, calling everyone else young punks and kids.

[Bomby]

It's okay. I'm joking.

[1-up Salesman]

oh.... then consider that superman symbol message i sent as a joke.

[PK FIRE!]

"Try a little Tenderness" That sounds familer, hmm when did I hear that last?
