Sorry, I've been half-away

*Sends Belated hope you feel better card to Mythica*

So, Theta's still in the Hypostore? Are you guys close to getting him out?

[Chad32]

Claxter spoke with Ossanlin, but Ossanlin didn't seem to notice him. I can't say how close we are to getting Theta out, I'm afraid.

[RAFrukh]

I see.

Off topic: Myth, is your character anything like River Tam from Firefly?

[Midnight_Huntress]

I couldn't say as I've never seen Firefly.....

[RAFrukh]

She went to a government academy at 14. They experimented on her, getting her brain to be even more powerful than it was. Now she has the brain-power of over 300 scientists, mathematicians, and artists.

I don't know EVERYthing about her, but...

[Midnight_Huntress]

Haha well umm close.

The central Govrenment took Silver from her parents when she was about five-ish. They waited a year ortwo and then began experimenting on her.She escaped -with help from the Late Fletcher - about age nine and was on her own ever since. She traveled where she could and slowly grew into her powers. She is very agile in earth terrains and she gains a bit of her power every year. I figured why stop at illusions? Why not some of her powers become real? But only the elemental pieces. Water fire lightening. But take away from it and she can't control it and she can't cause like massive earthquakes or anything but she isn't weak either. She just doesn't realize all of this yet and until she does and can control it she will malfunction hence the sparking fingertips and the mishap with her staff.

How did u come up with that idea? Cuz it was actually elaborate...hmm well ima change my character simply because for me to rp him the way i read him would be overpowered...so idk i think ima just alter my character but keep the storyline for him the same...

Hmmm...yea i think ima have my character be human, but trained a little in hand to hand combat but has the ability to control sound waves from his body. Ex. he can yell EXTREMELY loud, or slam his hands together causing a wave that pushes against anything in its path. N hell carry a huge hammer (kinda like mjilnor (spelling?) thors hammer).

Is that an acceptable character u guys think? like he has a lot of power but has a lot of weaknesses

[Midnight_Huntress]

I think as long as you have it balanced out you should be fine.

When I first started out I couldn't really get into it but then I found some posts went with one idea after the other and before I knew it I had a back story... Not all my characters work so well.

[Nero's Fury]

Ok since i did like my idea for dante from supernatural Rp im goin with the idea of my character being old...like OLD. Like 4,000 years old, but still human. He was endowed by Thors hammer with all of Thors thunder powers, and immortality, and powerful build (from carryin a hammer only capable of being lifted by one person so u no its heavy), but have him still have the durability of a strong human. So he is well balanced, he is great for offense, but has not armor or anything for defense
Post Merged: March 01, 2011, 03:28:08 PMOk so Al and i have agrred to keep the story the same, just chage the character himself. So his new name is soundblast (alias due to no one in existence knowing his real name). And were going to start from the point where they were leaving the bar in search of the andalite ship

[radgeek]

Sorry Steph and Chad, I noticed that my last post wasn't clear so I modified it.

[Stephquiem]

XD It makes a lot more sense to me now.

[Nero's Fury]

Ok so im guess that means no one has a problem with my plan?

[Shenmue654]

Hmm, well...changing a character's motives and backstory when you've already announced them in-Roleplay is generally a bad idea. It breaks immersion and cheapens your character as a person. It's far easier to simply keep the character's identity as-is but scale them to the level of the other PCs. Basically ask yourself this question: could a human with a gun kick my character's butt in a fair fight given the right moves? If the answer is "No," then you need to scale said character down a few notches. I know a thing or two about this "fine art'"; it once created an entirely new character.

This is because changing where the character is from also changes who the character is. Sometimes drastically. This game is all about psyches and character development!

Oh, and sorry I'm so delayed lately forum. I've had a lot of work.

[Nero's Fury]

Well like the ENTIRE background story is the same except who the character is. but hes still the same, from the shadow dimension, searchin for the andalites that found the cure for his planets disease in the shadow dimension. i just was like if i toned down his power it wouldnt be the same n i was like to disrespectful to the character! so im just changing the characters name and his abilities. so now its like this, can a human with a gun kill him? yes. is he powerful? pretty strong with the hammer, but take it awa and he loses all of his abilities and becomes ordinary human again so hes pretty ok balanced
