Oh no, you don't get to misrepresent me and expect me to be silent about it.

So we will start with "just because he exists does mean he's relevant to the story." For a being with limited power and abilities, this would make be passable, said being is capable of not being present, not knowing, not playing a role, and not being responsible. For an entity that is essentially an off brand version of the Judeo-Christian-Muslim God, that argument falls apart. His actions and inactions play a role in literally everything even if he isn't mentioned by the author. Everything that happens is because he set it into motion and every negative outcome is ultimately his fault. If you're familiar with Spider-Man you should understand exactly what I'm saying.

If a being within a setting is an omnipotent creator, then it is impossible for him to not be relevant, he's just conveniently ignored.

Second, just because the Reptile King is obligated to have an impact on the world around him does not mean he is in control of everything. He is specifically designed so that there is room for beings greater than him and so that he can have limitations when needed. He is also not omniscient his "omnipotence" is not true omnipotence but functional omnipotence. Meaning that from a mortal perspective it would seem that he can do anything, but when on a scale with his peers the game changes entirely. He is powerful, but not all powerful. He impacts the world around him but it isn't something that others cannot fight back against and his actions may not bring him the results he expects or desires (the Ne'zon RP is proof enough of that).

You asked me to those RP's and you knew what the Reptile King character is. I even asked if you understood and were prepared for his character and you told me that you were. I didn't want full control, I wanted to be able to play my character. You do not understand the position of the GM or the role of the players in an RP. If your players are not important, if they are not supposed to have an impact on the plot of your RP, then you have failed from the start. With or without a character like the Reptile King.
