Caught a small thing on her stats: The numbers and colored pips don't match up under DEFN & AGLT. Can't say much else aside from mysteriouuusssss...

Also all her Heroism status numbers are all marked as 9, which I guess It's wrong because, zalgo text seems to mark the right number :33

Say you can transform into jets right? Or take parts from them and downscale it, how do you do that? Some planes are extremely resilient compared to others...

If that's what the stats are for, how do you describe things that enter various forms? At max potential some things can go really far...

I was once told while making a character - whom I felt her stats were a little below what I felt her powers showed even with S rank numbers - that "maybe they're just too strong for this roleplay."


From that I can draw that there is a kind of cap to what kind of abilities are accepted; one that's beyond just the stat number limitations.


As roleplayers, it's up to us to try and form a character's power at its max potential to fit within the parameters of the roleplay.


If someone should struggle with such a thing, then perhaps it's simply not meant for this roleplay, and it's time to put them in your back pocket for later and try something else.


If they continue to have problems making powers fit within the rules, regulations and some other law/limitation word that starts with r, then perhaps this roleplay simply isn't what they're needing right now.


That's just my opinion on the matter though~

Isn't that essentially matter transmutation? For something that versatile, you'd have to apply some pretty stringent weaknesses. That or the limiter's just on all the time. The point is to keep things fair for everyone involved.
 
Then how do I do things? I guess I just suck at everything, so what do you guys do to get perfect profiles?


I'm just basing power off of what... Somebody (Sorry, can't remember who) said when I asked. They said if you can't be a struggle for more than just the Human Torch, you aren't S rank. Which means most of my powers are below in actuality. Does a limiter keep you from using powers at all or something?
 
A limiter pretty much just keeps extreme examples of powers from being displayed. It's a way for the commonwealth to minimize collateral damage.


You don't suck at everything, your character's just OP, and we're trying to help you fix her.
 
@Crimrose


If you're willing to put the effort in, I think you should go for a C or D Rank.


Your seeming obsession with going for a High Stat char who's unkillable is really hindering your ability to get into this Rp from what I've seen and what other's have said. I think choosing a much more simple, rudimentary and basic power will get you accepted and later down the line you can create another character once you've got the proper gist of things.

My character's not perfect. Not even close. The idea of this game is not to be 'perfect' or even 'powerful' it's to be 'characterful'.

Honestly, I'm having trouble trying to find a power that I can stick with. It's not easy when you have a brain that constantly comes up with new ideas.


I'm not trying to go for it at this point, it just happens that most of the time that turns out to be the case. Besides, when you have people that can quite literally manipulate metal, you need to have at least some survivability don't you? I'm not even going for high stat, it just ends up that way. B rank was actually common apparently...

A boy with black hair and blue eyes raised his hand. Intermission. Astonished. Somebody went to prep school. Maybe she should call him Phantomhive.
“Absolutely not,” she said with a straight face. She looked at him, but her stare was flat and relatively emotionless. Wouldn’t want to make anyone pee themselves again. “I don’t get paid enough to deal with people. Next question.”

@welian plz XDDDDD


YOU'RE KILLING ME!!

No worries, gurl~ This ain't a PvP, it's a PvE~


And scary guys like Red are like a one in a million case. The majority of superpowered individuals within the world are around C-rank~


There... just happen to be lots of S-ranks and A-ranks in the area... Yeah... Ahaha...


BUT AT LEAST THEY'RE ON OUR SIDE, RIGHT?!


If S-ranks are as rare as the roleplay's information has lead me to believe, there shouldn't be but one or two other S-ranks running around in the U.S. at this point!

Survivability isn't the point of the game, though.


As said before in the OOC, Aegis is a school. The characters aren't really consistently in a position that they need to be able to survive.


Even if they were - a character dies, worst-case scenario. They go out with a bang.


Red isn't allowed to kill students, anyhow.


The biggest problem is that your character is more of an A or S-rank (or higher), not a B.


S-ranks are teacher-only. One OP character in the current cast won't be much fun for anyone - everybody needs weaknesses.


I'm sure you can develop her a bit more, honestly, and hopefully it'll end up looking good~

I don't understand where this constant fear of having a character survive keeps coming from. You have brought that up before. To date, no character has died in this RP that I am aware of.


Next, ANY of the profiles you have thus far put together Could be Playable. The issue is the second there is a suggestion made, you drop it and run off to a new idea. Why not rework one of the several profiles you already have? From my understanding you only have until the end of today to get them in for this stretch.


I would seriously take a breather and decide where to put your focus and then follow through.

That's why I can't focus, I have a deadline. I'm terrible with stress...

Mkay, I suggest you PM the GMs and Welian and get them to assist you maybe.
 
Yeah, I know it's not PvP focused, but any combat whatsoever brings me to think I need to have at least a chance against some guy with a gun. Are we not going to encounter that? Then I'll take something that isn't really strong for combat.

Protip: Stop thinking about what your power can stand against. Start thinking about what power you would enjoy playing the most.

Fighting isn't always the only response. My guy might only be able to detect infrared radiation, but he's still smart enough to know how to outrun a pursuer or create a distraction. If he was confronted with someone shooting at him, he wouldn't be relying on his power alone; he'd hit the field with some backup in tow - support powers are great for a roleplay where interaction + cooperation are vital.
 
This scenario has a GM, who is highly unlikely to throw a situation at us that is overwhelmingly likely to cause death. Besides, I doubt she would arbitrarily kill a character off without permission.


You can't "win" a roleplay, so best stop trying. :)
 
@DJ MagicHat hey just making sure, are the people you tagged the only students who are going to be in your class (or did they happen to already be there)?
