(Ok, look. I'm gonna stay neutral in this because I cba to get involved in the impending argument, but I think a few things need to be said. Incoming textwall:

First off, Bass, let me give you some background on Sauron, who's been mentioned a couple of times. He was an RPer in some of the older Argus RP threads, who grew to be very unpopular with the other RPers for a number of reasons. Firstly, he constantly made references to other franchises, even going as far as implying the universes were the same by carrying locations and weapons over from them. Secondly, he had a habit of godmodding. In one instance, he stole the kill of a boss using a medival sword. In another, he had an up-until-then unmentioned ship drop him a Fat Man launcher (from Fallout) which he used to destroy an entire Ketch (which not only would have been impossible, but even if it was, that Ketch was the last remaining obstacle before the RP's end, and he one-shotted it). Finally, he had a habit of breaking canon, and having his characters do ridiculous things. He ended up being kicked out of the RP and he later deleted his account.

Next, I don't think it's fair for people to be so harsh on you without explaining what they don't like that you're doing, so allow me to point a few specifics that I've seen mentioned (I won't name names though - as I said, I'm neutral in this). First, several people found it annoying and out-of-character for Xor when he whined to Scythe about Fenrir breaking his tech, given that Xor has otherwise been set up as a stoic centuries-old warrior. Second, a lot of people have problems with Xor's tech to begin with, as it seems OP given that it does whatever Xor needs it to at that present time. Thirdly, Xor's method of reviving (going back in time and handing the chip containing his consciousness to the past Xor) requires that the chip not be at all damaged, which it likely would be if he died by an explosion or by heat. Finally, the last thing I've seen mentioned is Xor's implied ties to the Golden Age. The Golden Age is an indeterminate amount of time in the past, and it is unlikely that anyone could have survived the Collapse and then also lived long enough to be around in the present day, especially if they actively fight against the Darkness, like Xor.

Trust me though, I know it is tempting to do things like this. In the first RP I joined (which was a Halo one), I was much worse. I had my character, moronically named DAB-101, be an ORION soldier but with the augmentations of a SPARTAN-II, and had him be a traitor whose desertion was covered up by the UNSC. He essentially became a space pirate, stole a Covenant CSO-class supercarrier and then piloted (again - alone) that thing to the planet where all the action was taking place alone. The equivalent of that in the Destiny universe is having a lightless person (who still had the powers of a Guardian anyway) betray the City, be covered up by the Vanguard and then turn up in Oryx's dreadnought 25 years later to help Argus.

Thankfully, my fellow RPers eventually had enough and told me to stop. Luckily, I listened to them, the RP got back on track and now the other RPers and I are quite good friends. So, in short, my advice would be to listen to what constructive criticism the others have to say and take it into account. I won't force you to do anything, but I'm just saying that it worked for me, and it'd probably work for you too.)
