Name: Nick Ryder
Godly Parent: Neptune
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Sexuality: metrosexual
Cohort: V
Appearance: dark brown, nearly black hair with lighter brown eyes, and a slightly tanned complexion. His eyes become sea-foam green temporarily when using his powers. Has a thick scar on his left knee from a childhood accident that resulted in a school closure. Normally wears grey joggers, a camp Jupiter t-shirt, and a dark grey hoodie.
Powers: Seaspawn?~can manipulate water at will, generating waves, geysers, water spouts, etc. Limitation: is deathly afraid of deep water and by extension will not breathe underwater despite being son of the sea god.
Earthshaker~ can generate earthquakes when enraged. (Up to Magnitude 6) Limitation: requires anger; is immobile for the duration of the quake, can be injured/knocked out by collateral damage (falling objects, etc)
Frigid Waters~ can control water in ice form; mini snowstorms, hail, making solid ice structures, shooting icicles, etc. Limitation: Permafrost; after 5 minutes of continuous use, numbness and shivering greatly reduce speed and coordination.
Weapon: Silver Xiphos blessed in the Cyclops Forges in Neptune’s kingdom. Carried in a leather covered wooden scabbard with brass fittings.
Skills: Swordplay (short swords/daggers)
Sword and Rotella/medium shield combat
Archery (intermediate level)
Escrima dual baton combat (advanced)
Unarmed combat (intermediate)
~can shape and freeze water into items of glacier-dense ice on the fly: swords, shields, arrows, armor, igloos, skeleton keys, etc.
Additional Information: Despite being son of the Sea god, Nick always sort of felt like a fish out of water in the deep sea. Be it respect for the Sea, or fear of what’s lurking beneath it, he always gets tense in deep water. Shallow waters are home sweet home. Unlike his siblings, Nick is not invincible in the water. Rather than healing and breathing underwater, Nick’s powers reflect the versatile destructive and creative nature of water in its liquid and ice forms. He has a boyish enthusiasm and eclectic interests that cause some to assume he is gay. Nick became a martial arts student and old weapons enthusiast in elementary school, and has since studied karate, taekwondo, escrima, capoeira, swordplay, sword and shield combat, and archery.
Backstory: Being sheltered from monsters by the mortal scent of his 3 half siblings, and the Hawaiian Islands–surrounded by his father’s domain, Nick grew up in a pretty norma

Do you think he’d be more rigid like the Romans or ostracized because of how free spirited he is? If Percy was Roman how what do you think would change?
Nick was comatose, having leapt in front of his girlfriend’s blade to shield her from the emotional turmoil of killing the same person twice.
He woke up to find himself in a stark white landscape. Details slowly materialized before him, sharpening as seconds passed on. Snowy hills, a sheet of ice over an unforgiving ocean.
“Is this... real?” Nick knew his answer the second the words left his mouth. Taking a moment to feel the wind and snow, he contemplated on just what had happened to him. The only word he could think of to describe it:
Purgatory.
The word rang through his head as flashbacks of the battle overwhelmed his vision... Camp Jupiter. Fire. Monsters. The Mad Three. Lily.
“Wait, no! Take me back!” Nick came to the realization that the battle might not be finished, and everyone was still in danger.
When he tried to move, his body felt like lead. Insurmountable pressure engulfed him, leaving him gasping for air.
strained: “I can’t... let anyone else die...”
When Nick had calmed down, the pressure disappeared, and he could move again. An overwhelming feeling of dread set in. It dawned on him that whatever was keeping him here didn’t want him going anywhere in a rush.
It will be a long time before Nick returns.
I always see drugs being associated with Neptune, because Neptune clouds your judgement, and uh, apparently all drugs just cloud your judgement and make you stupid? This seems like a very stigmatized, overly simplified, uninteresting way of approaching the topic. You're going to categorize caffeine, morphine, and LSD under the same energy? I think it would be very interesting if we could be more concise. For example, I think marijuana is very neptunian (also Venusian tho) because it really does cloud your mind in a very dreamy, creative way. It allows you to think differently, more creatively and spontaneously, but then this can lead into delusions. Obviously stimulants = mars. What about psychedelics? They expand your mind. They just intensify every aspect of your psyche, your emotions become more intense, your thoughts race, and your true self becomes more apparent. This sounds like Pluto. Which is also fitting because psychedelics can drag you into the dark depths of your mind that you do NOT want to see unless you're ready. Some other substances that would be interesting to consider would be dissociatives (ketamine, dxm, nitrous oxide) or salvia.
I would like to hear other peoples thoughts on how they would categorize different classes of drugs.
Just read an article that Kanye is considering a 2024 presidential run and a name change to “Christian Genius Billionaire Kanye West” or some such.
The armchair psychiatrist in me screamed: “get this man on medication post haste!”
But the Astrologer in me was like “this all makes sense.”
Kanye West is a 16° Pisces Moon. Which means RX Neptune is right on his Moon right now, a second pass, and will have a third pass later when direct.
Pure fodder for delusion and being fanatical about Christianity now. His natal Pisces Moon (and therefore transit Neptune) also squares his bombastic and frankly narcissistic Sun conj. Jupiter in Gemini, further exacerbating these delusions of grandeur. Neptune square natal Jupiter is perfect for finding religion, and unfortunately can result in a lot of fanaticalism. Most Christian televangelists have very very strong Jupiter or Pisces. With the natal Sun there, his ego is more than tied up in this new, ramped up holier than thou disposition. Adding fuel to the fire.
Now his natal Neptune is in Sag. Guess where Jupiter is now folx? Yep, Sag—in Western Astrology. That means there is a double Jupiter to Neptune circus playing out for him, and BOTH worsened by the triple passes of retrogradation. Transit Jupiter is pretty much done with him, but laid the groundwork for his...I want to say, extended manic episode. Jupiter blows everything up.
What does this create? A t-square! Neptune opposite Sun/Jupiter. And a Pisces Moon apex. The release from the tension is found through his Pisces Moon, which is why religion is of particular importance for him right now. (Plus I didn’t mention that natal Neptune opposite natal Sun and Jupiter can create this fantasy wherein you believe you are the best, that no one understands you or is on your level, and frankly someone with disassocative personality and mood disorders. The ego is fractured by the dissolution of Neptune). A mutable T Square can also make ripe conditions for someone who is erratic. Also fitting for his bipolar disorder.
I also found it interest to note that Kanye’s mom died the last time Jupiter was in Sag. Many think his latent mental illnesses were worsened by her death and ultimately laid the groundwork for the woefully flawed personality we see before us now. A Jupiter cycle indeed.
Runner up—Uranus in Taurus is also conjunct his Venus and Mars conjunction. Shake ups and eccentricity and sporadic direction galore. Specifically regarding the women in his life

I'm Neptune, a 15-year old musician growing up in L.A.! I recently released "Outcast" a song about the planet Pluto, (yes it's still a planet!). The song has been endorsed by Post Malone and Nick Cannon, I'm super excited to share the music video here: My dad owns West Coast Customs and I've been around music my whole life, starting to sing when I was just eight, however my Neptune project. My debut project as Neptune will feature 14 songs about space! For the latest on me, visit officialneptune.com and follow me on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.

Something I was kinda wondering, if in The Next Mainline Neptunia Neptune, The Other Main Goddesses, The Candidates and maybe even IF and Compa got redesigned. I'm not saying to make them big and drastic. I was kinda thinking of new clothes, alongside some hair style changes and maybe a age up. Along those lines I was going by. If they still carry on with in universe time gap between games in the same as their real world releases motif, I think it could (considering it be, 5 years at this point). What do you think?
That's it! No more stupid tech developments! No more secrets! No more confusing diplomatic announcements! It's time for a fucking fight!
Reactor Site Neptune is the last position that the Cult of the GLOW has claim to. They've held onto it for a while but things are looking bad. Between the death of High Confessor Burmingham after his trial in Newer Zealand's capital, or the recent mysterious disappearance of the new High Confessor Brown, things aren't looking up. Additionally, Newer Zealand forces have been blasting announcements over the front line, informing members of the GLOW that if they surrender and walk out, they will be welcome into the Nation without legal penalty. Now the time for forgiveness has past. The war is about to begin.
There are two fronts to this battle, the Northern one featuring just the Cult of the Bridge versus the Cult of the GLOW, and the Southern one, featuring the Cult of the Bridge, the Cult of the GLOW, and the Nation of Newer Zealand.
Both fronts have a long way to push. The units are distributed as below:

The central problem is that an antimatter reactor is going haywire and sending high energy bursts towards Earth. This is... not impossible. Matter-antimatter reactions make a LOT of energy. But what does not make sense is that they KEPT hitting Earth. How? How does that happen? Space is Very Very Very Very big and the relative positions of the Earth and the reactor orbiting Neptune kept changing such that it would be impossible to nail Earth unless you were aiming for it... and even then, even if the whole damn ship was made out of antimatter I doubt it could send a beam of energy coherent enough to nail Earth once at THAT range. Because again, space is very, very, very big.
-
How is that reactor sending numerous high energy bursts threatening to wipe out all life on Earth? They said it could wipe out all life in the solar system? How!?! Even if the entire ship was antimatter it wouldn't be enough to do that. There is not enough energy there to steralize the earth.
-
Their plan to destroy the evil antimatter is to nuke it. Uh... what? That seems like... overkill? The massive amount of energy released from the initial matter-antimatter reaction of the antimatter breaching containmentwould probably move the antimatter far enough from any positive matter that it would not even interact, leaving this magically dangerous antimatter flying around. Antimatter has no special vulnerability to nuclear weapons, nukes don't destroy all antimatter nearby, they just... push it around? Each anti hydrogen atom(I assume that is the antimatter) still has to interact with some kind of positive charged particle to annihilate it. Nukes won't cause nearby antimatter to just melt. Pushing the entire damn ship into Neptune's atmosphere would have worked just as well, probably better, heck, they could have just jettisoned the module with the reactor? Apparently Space Madness is a real thing and being in space too long makes you crazy, but reliable laser communication is real and given the risk of people going crazy, why didn't they send a robotic probe to crash the ship into Neptune? Or send both a manned ship AND a probe or SEVERAL probes given that the fate of the world is apparently on the line? With light lag of 4 hours a probe would be up to the task of being remotely controlled.

If the Lima Project ship orbiting Neptune was supposed be a permanent outpost, why aren't they using rings to create centrifugal force and fake gravity so their bones
I really haven't got a notion.
And do remember a 2x XP booster does stack (afaik) with the weekend bonus for 4x XP. Hydron on Sedna with a CP aura is good for normal Warframe stuff as well.
(I gotta say, only do this for weapons you absolutely don't enjoy but still want the mastery for, insta-maxing weapons and not giving them a chance to play around with them is a huge mistake, in my opinion)
Happy Grinding

I’ve seen a lot of posts about Op Neptune and specifically the level of objective play. I can tell you from experience (MP 306, rank circa 900 in the world in War, nearly a 4 W/L) that sniping during this stage is a plague to your team.
I frequently hear the argument “they’re helping by getting people off A” although they technically are helping by doing this; their help doesn’t do much. I’ve sniped on A many times while defending. Every time I get killed by a sniper I just rush back to A and I’m in position after only about 20-30 seconds including down delay. That small amount of time is not nearly enough for your teammates to make a move especially if you’re not communicating with them. Even if they do manage to get on A; they easily can get taken out since you are still sniping in the back of the map and not helping them when their physically on the objective.
Based on my experience, you are much better off throwing smoke and rushing B (since B is easier to defend its best to take this one first), capturing B, then repeating the same process for A. Games of Op Neptune where team lose by a massive amount on stage 1 of offense is almost always because of careless people sniping on offense.
