Aaaaand on that note I'm going to avoid the furry porn joke I was constructing.

Looking forward to more wonderful QA crack. Really hoping that she just walks through the walls directly into armsy's lab to ask Efficiency questions, completely ignoring the various random alarms she sets off.

Posted on January 4, 2011:

If you clicked on a link somewhere else that mentioned the Simurgh dying: don't worry, you're in the right place.

Old thread is here. Had to make a new one since either Ziz or Titania decided to prevent all posting without actually locking it. The mods are trying to figure out how to fix things, but I think this is easier. Conversation between Titania and Ziz is on the last page.

I won't bother to recap things the previous thread mentioned, but suffice to say that Ziz is dead. And has apparently had an account just lying around, unused, for the past five years or so. Titania's account was created about two minutes prior to the Simurgh's destruction. She spent most of that time browsing PHO at a rate only possible if she had thinker powers on top of everything else.

Back on topic. Timeline of events for Titania is below.

• 11:43 AM: The previously mentioned PRT team is shoved into a boat and moved several hundred yards away from the boat graveyard. Just prior to evicting them, Titania had one thing to say: "I am doing something very important. Please come back later." Kinda anticlimactic, I know.

• 11:44 AM: Titania starts, and finishes, construction of a large metal seed. Despite no visible biological parts, she still chooses to plant it in the ground.

• 11:45 AM-11:52 AM: In a complete and flagrant disregard for the law of conversation of energy, a massive tree grew out from said seed without appearing to draw nutrition from the surrounding earth. Over the course of seven minutes, it was able to grow to a height of approximately five miles. I know Tinkers are bullshit, but seriously, what the hell?

• 11:52 AM: Upon completion of the structure, the area surrounding the tree, henceforth referred to as Yggdrasil, began to glow green. Titania makes several thousand small, winged orbs of light which begin to circle around the tree. Titania enters Yggdrasil.

• 11:53 AM: Titania makes her account on PHO. Titania browses PHO at thinker-enhanced speeds.

• 11:55 AM: The green glow surrounding Yggdrasil broke up into an estimated three thousand projectiles which flew off into the atmosphere. Yggdrasil continues to rapid-fire frickin' laser beams. Titania posts in her own thread. Ziz insults her. Ziz posts something about someone not being very happy about the attempted murder. Ziz expresses frustration that Titania doesn't know what she was talking about. Ziz posts a few more times, finishing with a warning of an impending apocalypse. Ziz falls silent. Yggdrasil stops firing. Titania posts that she's stronger than any Endbringer.

• 11:59 AM: Titania leaves Yggdrasil, teleporting past the assembled crowd to do so. She quickly loses her followers.

• 12:01 PM: Dragon confirms the death of The Simurgh.

• 12:13 PM: Uber and Leet post a video of Titania walking through one wall of their living room. Despite the fact that she was already inside their house and was simply moving from one room to the next, she did not bother to phase through it. She then proceeds to... well, you should probably just watch the video.

Timeline end, so far


So... yeah. Titania killed an Endbringer. Casually. With a gargantuan Tinkertech tree she made a seed for in less than five minutes.

A lot of people have been joking about the PRT putting a "Bullshit 13" or "Just run" note in her file and leaving it at that. Yes, the scale only goes up to 10 and then 12. Honestly, I think it might be safe to avoid calling this a joke; why would they, or anyone, ever want to fight her? She can kill the Endbringers. Who in their right mind would want to hurt her after that? Okay, so she's kinda completely batshit insane and more than a little creepy. I'm willing to overlook a lot in someone who can manage that.

Without further ado, here's her more up-to-date list of abilities. Suggestions to replace the list with "Yes", "Eidolon on steroids", or "Scion 2.0" will be ignored. This list is continued from the last thread.

Confirmed abilities:

Yggdrasil: The thing that is almost certainly going to earn Titania a Tinker 13 rating, this thing is over five miles high. If you're in a nation using metric, that translates to eight kilometers. It certainly isn't made of normal wood, because if it were, it would've already collapsed under its own weight. I think. Don't quote me on that. It can also apparently rapid-fire lasers capable of killing Endbringers.

Hacking: PHO admins have reported that she just completely ignored electronic defenses to create her account and add the relevant badges. Didn't exploit one or more weaknesses, just ignored. The Simurgh was already here, and apparently has been for over five years. *shudders*. I know a lot of people have occasional joked about particularly paranoid users being her (and receiving infractions for the comparison), but seriously, that's really damn creepy.

I'll refrain from the usual "speculated abilities" list since it'll probably be outdated within twenty-four hours. That and there's so much speculation it's not even funny.

I'm going to pre-empt most of the questions I expect to see here: Yes, this is real. Yes, I did check with more sources than just Dragon to be certain. Yes, trying to figure out Titania's civilian identity is still against the TOS, mask or not. No, Titania didn't fake the conversation with Ziz. Yes, I'm sure. No, Titania is almost certainly not the next Endbringer. Possibly the next Scion. No, "they" aren't going to nuke BB. Yes, inappropriate comments will still earn you a temp-ban.
The "Apocalypse" Ziz mentions will happen 15 years from now is almost certainly a lie, same with the one Jack Slash will supposedly kick off. I will remind you that the title Ziz claimed for herself, after Titania called her such, is Terror Drone. It's been speculated before, but that's pretty much confirmation that the Endbringers are specifically trying to instill fear. Even if she just claimed it on the spot after Titania called her that, said action was still intended to make us afraid. Don't let Ziz get to you even after death.
Please avoid only cheering without adding anything to the conversation. We have a different thread for that.

Well. Really didn't see that one coming. You can see Yggdrasil from anywhere in the city, and believe me, words don't do it justice. I'm not sure if I want to NOPE out of BB or encourage my whole family to move here.

Is the "Daughter of the Faerie Queen" theory still even remotely viable? I don't think all of Toybox working together could have pulled that off.
Also, I think we now have an explanation for why she doesn't wear a mask. Even if she does have a living family, who would have the balls to try and hurt them?

Yeaaah, killing Ziz definitely qualifies as "important". Like, more important than anything else in existence. I wonder why she didn't speak to anybody else, though?

Crazy+Powerful=Killing an EB, apparently. Did I miss something? I mean, I think the only warning we had of this was her taunting Ziz.

What are they even supposed to rate her? Bullshit 13?

► Disjunction (Verified Cape)
Replied on January 4, 2011:
Oh, wow. I think it's safe to say that I, along with every other living cape out there, am officially jealous.
Still, I can live with that jealousy if it stops the nightmares. Both the physical ones and those all capes suffer from after EB battles.

► coarseInstability

@ WyvernParadox
Possibly not. PRT ratings are intended to provide guidelines for what capes need to know if they're going to fight a given individual. Titania? They'd probably be best off putting down "Just Run" or "Give her what she wants." Given as "what she wants" appears to be ice cream, I'm not too worried.

► Khet7
Replied on January 4, 2011:
@ WyvernParadox
Probably the same rating they put under Scion: N/A. Probably. If the PRT has given serious thought to fighting Scion, I'd have to question their sanity.
@ Thoreus
Or she could just have Changer abilities on top of everything else. Honestly wouldn't surprise me at this point.
@ Disjunction
If you've fought one of those monstrosities before, or even helped clean up after their attacks, you have my sympathy and thanks. You have my best wishes of luck for your recovery.
And now, for the most important question of all: there's a NSFW section of this site?

So does Titania just not consider non-parahumans worth her time or what? I think everyone she's held a protracted conversation with has been a Cape. She said like, what, 5 words to the PRT officers before putting them in a boat and then putting that boat on the roof of a building?

► Amber_Lies
Replied on January 4, 2011:
Titania could be evidence against the popular theory of Scion being the source of parahuman abilities. Both of them can be described as having "All the powers." ...Despite Scion being almost totally mute and having no sense of priority and having golden skin and...
Okay, maybe not. I need more information!

I've noticed a distressing lack of information on Yggdrasil, at least in the fifteen or so pages I trawled through near the start. Does anyone have video on the making of its seed? I'd like to know how the hell she did that.

So, uh... one down, two to go?
Fuck, I don't know. How are you supposed to react to somebody who casually wreaks an Endbringer, then turns around and starts taunting some E-list villain (or taunting herself? It's weird) since they couldn't do it first?

Here.
On one hand, there now exists somebody who can kill Endbringers. On the other, Masters have now officially become the most dangerous classification of parahuman, with Trumps as a close second.
If you're a master who can affect human minds, I suggest you lay low for a bit. As for Trumps... does anyone know where the S9 is right now? Even ignoring Ziz's prophecy, Hatchet Face needs to die ASAP.

I think at this rate, Titania may just outdo cat pictures when it comes to internet popularity. Are we sure the apocalypse is supposedly happening in a few years, not today?

On one hand: HOORAY! Ziz is dead!
On the other: Holy shit there are 17 more of them. Let's pray that Titania feels like multiple repeat performances.

*dons tinfoil hat* Y'know, it's not like "fairies" is the weirdest theory for where powers come from. Considering that both parahumans famous for using that term are the strongest in the world, they might be on to something. Or "with great power comes great insanity". I'm honestly looking forward to finding out which is true.

I wonder how they've missed that Titania was taunting leets power. She was pretty explicit about that. Even talking about the host.

Mostly, it's the fact that there was only about 1 second of lag between her saying something and then responding each time. It really does look like she's talking to herself, mentions of "host" or not.

Most of U & L's fans who saw the video are leaning toward belief, though, considering how often things seem to go wrong with Leet's tech at the exact wrong time.

Edit: Oh yeah, and if I've never said it before, I do welcome feedback, negative or positive.

How did anyone figure out there are 17 more? I could see people freaking out about the fact that she called it #7 when they only know of 3, but that seems like something of a leap. Also I can't wait to see her reaction to the dead shards either in the form of Aegis/Triumph/Battery, any Case 53, or when the Triumvirate inevitably ends up coming to pay a visit.

But great chapter!

Ziz's tag said 7 out of 20.

Ziz before she did put one of her tags as (Terror Drone 7 out of 20)
 
So many ninjas around here.
I better stay away and watch from safe distance.

Even though I really want to say that Ziz had two popular names - The Simurgh and Ziz. And both were used interchangeably by people.

Edit: Ninja?
No ninja. I managed to get past them sneaky bastards. Excellent. Now I can finally feel like I'm one of the cool kids.

Ziz's official name is Simurgh so it seems odd that they are calling her Ziz.

Really? I thought it was the other way around: people started calling her The Simurgh at first, but she was reclassified as Ziz after she first started screaming instead of singing.

Could be fanon, could be my brain just being wrong, could be right.

Edit: or they could be interchangeable and equally valid.

The Endbringers have multiple names.


Also if we go get Armmaster to build a computer for us, their is a chance that he would come of his own will out of a combination of "doing whatever the crazy cape who can kill Endbringers wants" and the chance of seeing the inside of Yggdrasil.


In fact, did we seal Yggdrasil?

I believe her official name is Simurgh and her nickname is Ziz. I don't think she's officially 'Ziz' in any documentation, kind of like politicans aren't actually named "that weasel in a toupee" even if that's what we generally call them :)
 
I don't think the PHO timeline mentions QA's last post before she goes to bother QO. It's detailed enough that I think there'd be some note of another post.
Sure it does.

See? They have a video of the entire conversation.
