Sounds about right. It's all right, though. I'd be a fairly benevolent dictator. Pretty hands off kind of ruler, really.

Yeah, I never understood why supervillains wanted to rule the world - that sounds like a LOT of work, even if you were to do it with a fair amount of iron fistiness. Plus, you would always have to worry about insurgencies.

Gotta have something to occupy your time if you're going to live forever. May as well be crushing rebellion.
It'd be easier to just mind control the elected world leaders. Insurrection probably won't be so widespread.
Starting my own religion would be fun, too. Maybe even better than world domination. Think about it, if someone could perform bonafide, 100% real "miracles", how many followers do you think they could round up? Heal the sick occassionally, fly around a little bit and just happen to be filmed doing so, speak in tongues every so often...I'd never be bored.

I don't think this applies on Rifts Earth.
On Rifts Earth there is always a a bigger meaner tougher Godling/Demon?Dragon/Super-Being.
You might be able to do anything you want within a small area but if you go to another area then you could get into it with an equally strong or even more powerful creature/godling/dragon that can and probably will hand you your ass.

Maybe your gaming group would be 100% ok with me parading around all the classes and races from the 40ish Rifts books around as NPC's for them to fight and team up with but never letting them be something else but what's in the Main Book....mine would jump me as I was walking to my car while my arms were full with stuff and proceed to "convince" me to lift that particular rule.

My old GB pilot, was my favorite character to play.
Showoff often leads to showdown Svartalf- Shinobi, You're twisted Mack- I'm constantly amazed at what people will put their energy into. This planet needs more predators. Saitou Hajime- What kind of Americian are you? Shadyslug- Good question
I'm surprised nobody's said "Lord Splynncryth" yet. You get your own continent, disgusting magical powers, all sorts of cool toys, a megaversal trading empire, tentacles, and blind warrior women slaves. What's not to like?
I'd personally go the Cosmo Knight route, if it were available to me... this being Rifts and not Phase World, however, I should probably pick something else.
Perhaps my somewhat forgetful shapeshifter character, though constantly forgetting what it is you actually are can sometimes be a bit awkward. Unrestrained shapeshifting is a really useful ability though!
Or heck, a free-born Dog Boy, with some decent stuff and a desire to help others.
Hey... do they let Dog Boys in on the whole Cosmo Knight thing?

Apparently being SN isn't even a disqualifier for becoming CK - apparently it is worded where it isn't frequent but possible (the dreaded "usually" or "rarely" wording).

right now? I'd want to be a shifter. I'd summon a thousand demons, lock them in a room full of typewriters and force them to write world books. Then I'd summon a succubus for obvious reasons. Then I'd summon a possessing entity, and force it to possess my neighbors so they would drive me to the grocery store. Hell I may as well make them buy me a new car too.
Tomorrow morning I'll wish i was a hyperion juicer so i wouldn't need to sleep and I could get my work done in a fraction of the time it takes me now. And then when I was done i could run home.
This weekend when we hit the clubs I'll wish I was a city rat in order to fit in better with the drunken hipster masses.
All things considered I'll think I'll stick with Shifter.

I think this is something everybody overlooks with Super Speed. Yes you can complete it faster, but relative to yourself it still takes the same amount of time. Your perception is faster, your body is faster so everything is in "normal" time to you. That's why anything with superspeed would be the last thing on my list.

And that dimension's rules of being will consist of official Palladium rules & rulings. I want to see if it'll collapse in on itself from all the contradictions.

Well, I will finaly do mine. I would have to go with a Sea Titan. They live so long I could be multi OCC's. Like get a couple of Glitter Boy! Then work on a psyic OCC, like a mind melder. Then a magic OCC, like a techno wizered and lay line walker! I could be a little of everthing! If not a Cosmo Knight. And yes, when I said Rifts, I also meant places like Phase World, too.

but then I wouldn't be a Juicer. I'd be an HU character, which aren't Rifts characters.
If I got rifted right now, I'd probably be in MadHaven. If that book's got more OCC's, I might change my mind from this posting. BUT - presumably I survive enough to find out WTH is going on, and I got a decent amount of OCC's available in that area to choose from...
I'd most likely be a Ley Line Walker. As much as I like soldier/merc type characters & OCC's, I'd most likely fall in line with a mystic OCC, and the Line Walker has some great abilities, access to spells and I love the idea of unwrapping my mask/helmet to reveal myself unto my friends/foes...a'la Khan
