Way to detailed for a bunch of nerds? -gives darth an "Are you fucking me" look that comes off as both playful and offended-

 

[Kaine]

lol i very rarely use the exact sheet someone makes since i tend to add more than needed information it makes it cluttered and hard to read. So it tends to flow better. If you dont like it just throw up what needs changed. just know depending what needs changed i may drop out. thats not a threat or anything, just the way it works i usually have an idea and if what you need strays from the idea i have i may back out. If i dont like a character i make i dont have the want to play them so rather than make a character and ending up turning inactive, i just back out.


So basically just do what you need to and we will go from there.

 

[Scottybird Corvus]

@Kaine I have compiled the issues I saw. Everyone else, please take note that I am not chastising, but attempting to help him improve a character that would throw off the whole game.


Now, Imma us exact quotes so that I don't mess it up and cause massive misunderstanding through paraphrasing. However, you should note that, in general, she is simply too powerful. The specifics have been sent to your Ghost.


1) "Many Guardians are stunned by her natural appearance."


While this seems rather harmless, it is a form of attempting to control or put yourself in a higher position than normal. I appreciate the allure of an attractive character, but please do not create editorials on how everyone loves them without a clear reason. Perhaps... More description? (please don't, actually. The recent notice from the Mods does remind me to keep it low)


2) "Every guardian is crafted a quality melee weapon upon completion of advanced fight training in the crucible. Each weapon is shaped and crafted after the guardians ferociousness, personality and ability are proven in the Crucible. Only a handful of guardians ever get these."


While the idea is good, I would appreciate if you don't come in and try to wrest control of how the world works from your local GM. Allow me to decide these things, alright? I'm fine with it even being a gift from the masters of the Crucible for her performance, but don't attempt to add your own ideals to how the setting works please. Although, if you are going to, then try not to contradict yourself


Thank you.


3) "Main ultimate"


This is the biggest issue. Your idea for her 'ultimate' - not to mention the very idea itself - is what is commonly known by the RPing and Gaming community alike as 'OP'. I'm afraid that no matter what you do with the rest of the CS, if you decide to keep the 'ultimate's, I will have to deny you entrance. In a similar issue, I would like to address the idea of the following quote:


"Secondary super"


This one I may not have been clear enough when I described the way the Supers function. This will also address what your Super is, by the way. A Guardian's Super will, in the end, never stray from the original effect of their subclass's classic Super. Take my example of Shal of The Fates from the other tab, for instance. Notice that while his ability is indeed not the original Super, it also doesn't stray from the heart of what the Fists of Havoc do. Which is to say, 'Hulk Smash'.


4) "notably using Hunter skills, and most often better than they do"


The idea, while having a certain romantic feel to it, is flawed, I'm afraid. Like with the Supers, a Guardian never really strays from their subclass's skillset. This is not, however, some mystic space magic at work. This is the workings of the mind. A Guardian strays naturally to one class or another not because they were destined to be a Warlock or a Titan, but because the way they think. The Warlock's skills are specifically Warlock skills because their thoughts are ones that would lead them to exploring those paths of their abilities. Similarly, a Hunter's skills are theirs because they are prone to explore those regions of their talents. Titans fit somewhere in there as well, but it is theorized that they may actually just be dumb brutes who like punching things. Also, this;


"For Ally, It does not matter how a person uses their skills"


Kinda falls in the same category. Sorry about being such a stickler about this, but it really should be this way.


5) "They give her weapons, armor and supplies in place of payment. For ally, survival is most important over payment. Money is useless if no ones alive to accept it."


This one isn't really that big of an issue, but it does imply some lack of understanding about how the currency of the Tower operates. Instead of personally telling you, allow me to direct you to this site: Grimoire/Inventory - Destinypedia, the Destiny encyclopedia


6) "Exploring with a fireteam will be the first time working on a team with others."


This will be a logic issue. See, if this is her first time running with a team, she wouldn't be in the army. They only take those that they KNOW will work well with each other. She is the kind of person in that case that Trey would have in one of his normal training camps. You'll learn more about that later, though.


I hope this clears up what I'm talking about. I'm sorry for being a stickler, but these are the issues I see.

-sniff sniff- That was beautiful -wipes tear- I have finally found someone as strict as myself


(No offence to @Kaine I just am incredibly strict myself and rarely ever see someone the same)

 

[Scottybird Corvus]

Hey, I just saw some kinda serious issues that would either be game altering or were just bad RPing etiquette. I wasn't trying to be Mr. Rules here. I was trying to help a guy out.

I hope this clears up what I'm talking about. I'm sorry for being a stickler, but these are the issues I see.

Psh bro. those aren't nearly as bad as i pictured you were going to do. Those will be easily changed, their is only one i had an issue with, and its more the way of viewing something lore wise, however, for how the rp works, totally not even an issue. I'll give you a little thought into these things before i fix them.


1. You made me laugh cause you put WAY more thought into that sentence than i did. I was simply going for the fact she has a pretty face and small stature that people were a little shocked to see she was a guardian and not a midget xD . I dont keep track of what the moderation team does on this website as ive had run ins with them over the years and with the changes over the last year i have no relationship with any of them anymore, so more information on what you meant would be great.


2.Every person is different. In 90% of all rps ive been in. they die because people dont be creative and try to add to the world themselves. Within the bounds created. I do see where it was little over the top. Most my sheet is over the top. Always have an issue of doing that when im half dead and trying making a sheet lol.


3/4 Kind of goes along with the last answer. Little disappointed in this as the potential for skills based around void, arc and solar is great, yet bungie kind of fell short to me.but they'll be reworked regardless.


5. This is the main one i had a problem with. Glimmer directly translate into materials. As stated directly in the game, Glimmer is forged into materials. They dont explain how this makes sense but that is what they put in place. From these materials weapons and armor are often enhanced from scraps and items found in the wild. Until the content of TTK comes out and the addition of foundaries, it was openly stated that nearly everything a guardian uses was reclamation and salvage from the wastes themselves[sounds like fallout lol]. To top it off, DO, Monarchy, and FWC are all rivals in this game for tech. One who pledges themselves to one, to give them what they find kind of makes sense that a person would have a better relationship with their dealer and have access to some things depending on their "reputation" to their said faction. That is exactly how it works as told by the story as you play through the game. However, it doesnt bother me to change it cause it has to be for when i change a few other things.


6. Lastly i think this one got lost because looking back you enver really said where the definitive start was. The basis for Ally is that she was a new recruit, a new guardian. She had skills in the crucible against guardians but no actual experience because she never actually got big missions like "go kill this guy" or "go search for this boss" It was always just recon, and her searching for random tech.


So anyways i have another idea for a character, but she is going to be painfully new. But before i do that i need more info from you. Are these suppose to be like fresh recruits, no experience or anything. Or will they have some experience? you made it sound like Zavala only wanted the best of the best, but if thats the case, its going to be OP people. So i need a more definitive answer before i start on the next sheet.

-sniff sniff- That was beautiful -wipes tear- I have finally found someone as strict as myself

[/QUOTE]
Everyone's different. I tend to try and find RP's where its a group effort, not an internment camp. Gives way for more creative writing. I also tend to lean more to the fantasy side of things as they give more possibilities. Either way it'll be a few days before the new sheet is up for looking over, so dont wait on my behalf

 

[Scottybird Corvus]

So for your #5 brings up a point: I wasn't trying to say you had to fix that, actually. I was just trying to help you get a better feel for what Glimmer was used for.


And seriously, if you are weirded out by Glimmer, don't ever look at Engrams.


And for #6, I would like to apologize. Once upon a time there was something somewhere that explicitly stated that while we are all strong, experienced Guardians, we are not the best of the best. Those would be the elite groups (The Unseen, The Library, The Dawn Guard and The Fates).

 

[Scottybird Corvus]

@Riven


Your character's name has now taken the place of Lux Ketura in the initial post. I'm afraid to admit that @spidermanda has delayed posting (or logging on, I think) enough that we have to move on without her.

 

[Riven]

Roger, tell me when and how to arrive and I'll be there

 

[Scottybird Corvus]

You can post anytime. You may want to follow the formula given by me and the other two, but you could also start by showing up in the middle of mini-briefing in the tent.


 



Woah. Okay, @HoneyBear-Kat)) the second to last. Notice that there is still another name not in the tent that was mentioned in my first post besides you, even if we don't get Honey OR another person.


In general, please turn down the "my ass is badder than yours".


I don't like shooting people down, but I will. If you want preferential treatment for some particular thing or to have a benefit that no one else does, ask me first. Expect me to make things harder for your character, however. It's like GURPS: if you want your character to be epic, you have to make them lame elsewhere.


Now, for @HoneyBear-Kat. Yes, we are open. We have two slots still available. If you want to bring someone in with you, please do. We could use a full Fireteam. We are currently waiting for @Ian Temero to post, but you're welcome to post a character and even your first post! Please read through all the tabs carefully before posting. Thanks for being interested!

 

[Fluffy-Kat]

Alrighty! Im really good with juggling more than one character! If you dont think anyones gonna take that last slot, i will :3 but if ya wanna give others a chance i can wait


Until then I WILL MAKE MY CHARACTER (this process is a long one for me...i think really hard lol)

 

[Riven]

@Ian Temero[/URL] to post, but you're welcome to post a character and even your first post! Please read through all the tabs carefully before posting. Thanks for being interested!

I apologize for that, Let me reassess myself


For the Legendary rule, The other RP allowed us to have Legendaries and I didn't see the other tabs ,You didn't tell me to remove it from my CS sheet so I just took it in >_>


Again, I haven't been on this for awhile so I apologize


Everything's been repaired so just tell me if anything is still wrong and I'll gladly change it up


Surely hope everything's correct now


@Darth Corvus

 

[Ian Temero]

@HoneyBear\-Kat


Not a bad place to start. You should however have her meet up with everyone in the Beijing Cosmodrome, just so we can get the group together. If you need to know what the place looks like you can read Corvus' first post.

 

[Fluffy-Kat]

I just wasnt sure i should go there lol! Ill edit and add that in :3


 
AAAAAAAND edited~!

 

[Scottybird Corvus]

Alright, @HoneyBear\-Kat. I'll admit, you posting before I had passed off on your CS made me a little more than a little nervous. You're not exactly a rookie at this, so I dunno what to think there. For future reference, a GM usually likes to know that a character isn't going to be an issue before allowing their player to post in character. It looks fine, though, so I'm not gonna freak out too much. Just keep it in mind, is all.


However, there is something that I probably need to apologize for something that might have made things a little confusing: Zavala wouldn't tolerate tardiness, or lack of paying attention. All Guardians participating would have been alerted a couple weeks in advance about the training camp, and would have been reminded the day before and the day of. Most are expected to check in the day before camp began, in fact. There were a few exceptions, and knowing the team I'm fine with multiple exceptions on it who were on late missions, but your character would have already known what was happening WAAAAAAY before hand. Teams she wouldn't have known, but the gist of what it is she DEFINATELY would have.


Once again, sorry. I realize I probably didn't make that clear when I created this game. However, if you would not mind reworking your post to include this, it will make the game run a lot smoother.

 

[Fluffy-Kat]

No no no dont be sorry! IM the one whos sorry D:


Dang im always screwing up stuff like this >.< i guess i just got a little excited. If its really not tolerated i dont mind opting out. I kinda feel like crap for doing that, Ive never done that before. Im sincerely sorry for going against the rules (more like common courtesy) like that. @Darth Corvus

 

[StoneWolf18]

I APOLOGIZE! I HADN'T BEEN RECEIVING ALERTS!

 

[Riven]

I apologize as well, alerts seem to have a delay effect :\


I'm not dead, as in my signature marching band is a hassle and it takes a lot of my time, expect a post soon

 

[Scottybird Corvus]

It's all good, Riven.


Now, this is for everyone: I am a bit of a control freak when it comes to the CS's and first posts as I expect nothing short of perfection with them. However, now that this is rolling, I'm going to be a lot more chill. Roll with he punches and the whatnot. If I see a major problem I will point it out, but for the most part I'm going to go with along with what you throw my way.

As long as its not somethin' like " I AM NOW THE AVATAR!" -All energies spark and sizzle around her- an' stuff like that.

 

[StoneWolf18]

@Riven that last bit was directed at her Ghost, not the whole group.

 

[Riven]

Oh, sorry, I'll fix that


@StoneWolf18

 

[Scottybird Corvus]

So I know I said that I would be chill now, but there is one thing, and this is a misunderstanding of the new mechanics is all.


@HoneyBear\-Kat. The gloves in this case are, well, not important. See, the modifications to her Super are not made by equipment, the modification comes from herself, the way she channels it. On top of that, the Super mod isn't really a chosen thing, it was an instinctively learned one. It was just the way she naturally used her abilities when she first got them, and so the way that she uses them now.


On a less important note, I didn't catch from your CS that she was basically using an amplified Storm Fist. Titans already have the option of making the Storm Fist chain between enemies, so this is her taking it to a whole new level, really.

 

[Fluffy-Kat]

[Scottybird Corvus]

Sorry. I don't mean to be too picky. I take all the blame for that one. I probably didn't explain the idea very well.
