Daicetta‏: The Impure City

I'd prefer the last two options, if you want to make a neutral character for that purpose I really don't mind ^^ I don't know how they'd slot into the RP so you'd probably do a better job. ( :) )

Hehehe I already have a neutral character that could be good for this. I'll get their CS up in that section later.

Alrighty that sounds pretty good to me ^^ I was thinking String Magic for my character, most likely Coercion Strings if possible?
[QUOTE="Zaffre Blue]A character of mine uses Marionette Strings but she uses it to entertain children and it tires her out seriously.

[/QUOTE]
Well, seems string magic is... fairly popular... I might have to completely reconsider what character I use if string magic is going to be used by a good number of others .-.


As for my character, if I do go with the one that will be using strings, let's just say there'll be a grand total of ten living puppets... One of which'll be quite the surprise ^.^ (That is, just for the initial converted sheet. It'll be worked on as needed ( :P ))

You dont seem to understand. There are no strings, its as if invisible strings were controlling the puppet.

Actually, I do understand... If I didn't, I would have been trying to figure out some way to control the ten puppets without strings getting tangled and everything.


But, I do want to know if it would also be possible to control strings with string magic, basically turning it into actual string control and such. Would that be possible to do?

ah sorry, i read your post wrong. And yes if you use the Marionette Strings sub form. With this you can control any object depending on your level. Can I know your character's age and IF POSSIBLE about how long they have been mentoring in this magic?
 
Haha... Haven't quite decided on most of the details yet. For instance, trying to decide if I want to keep her at the age she was when I originally created her, or make her older... She'll either be sixteen, or between nineteen and about twenty-three/twenty-four. How long she's been practicing though, I'd say... since she was about six/seven years old...? It'd make plenty of sense to be playing with strings since then, given that she's been in a wheelchair her whole life. Playing with strings would be about the only entertainment she'd have, especially when she's also unable to talk in any way other than with writing.

Second, The age limits are two old. There are 16-20 so please between that range.


Third, Er about being mute and handicapped IRL I respect these people 100%. But in the RP we don't want too much of a sob story. In most cases, this is followed up by parents being killed and then the character seeking revenge and having some super bad ass overpowered magic. I am skyping @Zaffre Blue like I do everyday and we have discussed this, confirming that it is our decision to say that we would not like this here. I love the idea but please, to make this RP easier(And a lot less dramatic) for everyone please change the character a bit. We're not saying that we are going to ignore every CS that you post. You could have minor handicaps but this is just too much. I hope you understand our decision.


 
MAGIC LEVELS:

  • Trainee: A beginner at magic. A trainee is literally somebody who has only barely dabbled in their form.
  • Novice: Somebody who has a minimal experience in magic, but typically cannot cast anything.
  • Student: Typically around age 20. Students are usually able to cast spells, albeit either weaker or for shorter periods of time.
  • Caster: Typically around age 30. Casters can cast spells, and are rather average at it.
  • Mage: Typically around age 40. Mages are above average spell casters.
  • Expert: Typically around age 50 or older. Experts live and breathe magic, and are very skilled in their form.

Oh, it wouldn't be a sob story at all... There would be no family death or anything like that involved, just plain she's in a wheelchair and can't talk. In fact, she'll be one evil and manipulative girl, just sitting in that wheelchair and thinking of people as mere toys; puppets that have yet to be attached to strings.

Going off that list, I'd say she'd be somewhere between caster and mage, though only because she's focused solely on string magic, and it's something she uses indefinitely throughout her day. Not much else for a bored girl to do other than mindlessly toy around with magic, especially with there being a lack of different people around her than she's already played with. If you think that'd be too strong though, I'll be willing to come to an agreement.

You didn't read it. The max anyone besides an NPC can be is at least student but this is also a stretch. With the lore I am using on magic, it isn't just "Abra-kadabra" Its long painful hours of mediation and concentration to do even the smallest of spells.

In a more brunt way, we don't appreciate the idea of a over handicapped person; along with Stone, I completely understand and empathize if you are like this in real life but in this sort of RP that would be a cliché. And if she was that malicious, it would just play into the stereotype. We are not saying that your character can not be saved, just need's to be refined a bit. She could choose not to talk to most people instead of being completely mute and have a leg deformity and limp seriously instead of not being able to walk at all. We hope you are able to address these changes.
 
Haha... Well, forget it then. What's the point in trying then...? Clearly my ideas are bad... Then again, I knew that all along... Well, every idea I've had so far's been shot down, and I have absolutely nothing left in mind...


I would like to comment on a few things though...

[QUOTE="Zaffre Blue]She could choose not to talk to most people instead of being completely mute

[/QUOTE]
That's not at all how she would be. I wouldn't make her a character that doesn't want to talk to most people instead of having her without a voice and always using writing to talk. It'd make no sense to have that kind of change from the initial idea of how she would be.

[QUOTE="Zaffre Blue]And if she was that malicious, it would just play into the stereotype

[/QUOTE]
What stereotype...? All I see is her being a bored girl who has nothing better to do with her life, so she does stuff with other people's lives, and just ends up being manipulative and evil in the process. Don't see how there's any kind of stereotype connected to that...?

[QUOTE="Zaffre Blue]have a leg deformity and limp seriously instead of not being able to walk at all

[/QUOTE]
From past experience, having a serious limp is worse than being in a wheelchair. I'd very much rather just roll myself around than have pain in every step... Not to mention that the leg deformity itself would be painful without the walking, whereas just not being able to walk at all could definitely come in a way without pain.

Listing them along with 'typically' makes it seem like that's just the usual age... Since my character would've been practicing her magic longer than most, it seemed like I could make her a little higher than just a student...


Also, I do kind of find the age restrictions to magic levels a bit too high... I don't think a person would first start learning how to actually do magic as late as already being twenty... Fifteen/Sixteen seems like when a person would normally start on that kind of stuff, regardless of if it's normal view on magic or how you have it as...


I'm sorry to say this, but currently I have no way of getting a character for this. Maybe if I come up with an idea that both parties can possibly agree on I'll be back, but currently... Magic's too restricted, leaving basically no point in playing a human unless I want to be some kind of weakling that wouldn't even stand a chance against a ten-year-old shifter in just half-form... At least I introduced Gemmy to a RP she seems to like and be interested in...

If that's your decision, fine. Ten year old shifters in a half form are barley powerful enough to hunt pigs. I'll try to talk to Stone, since my specialty isn't magic and if you can come to a compromise, great. Thanks' for considering and sending someone our way though.
 
Ladies plox no need to threaten each other with nuclear warfare, let's just settle down and threaten each other with marshmellows instead, they're more delicious anyway
 
I don't think you two were trying to come to a compromise though. You didn't even try to conform magic level to how long it would be practiced, you just literally set it in stone as an age requirement no questions asked... There's also the problem with how you're not even trying to talk about most of my ideas, just forcing me to either change them or drop them completely... I mean, at least give some room for discussion on something like being in a wheelchair...


I don't see how being in a wheelchair at all makes something a sob story, just it means they're in a wheelchair. I've seen a good few people in wheelchairs that don't get treated like they're special, or thought of as having had some kind of sad and rough life... I mean, they'd pretty much be treated the same as a person who could walk, except maybe when it came to simply being helped with reaching things high up, which even then is like a normal person being helped reach something they don't have the arm length to reach.
 
Charles Xavier was on a wheelchair...yet he's one of the most bad ass people I've ever seen. No sob story there ^_^
