OOC Discussion

[Sagitarius]

@Sagitarius
If you're waiting on someone coming into the Cafeteria I think you'll be waiting a long time! The exam thing is going on outside, which is the main event for the RP at the momento, so students should be out heading out there just now. It's not started yet but it should be going like, in a few posts

;O oh i know, i'll eventually have him walk outside and ask what the exams are about. I just couldnt write more than that post lol

@Sagitarius if u need help to get ben out there id assume a cafeteria worker would work up the courage to ask why he's there and point him in the direction of the exams

When all else fails, just magically move your character and hope no one cares enough to ask questions.

Sorry for not responding sooner, I've had Real Life Madness Times (patent pending) all over the place. Things finally seem to be calming down now, thankfully, so:


1) I'm glad to see that everyone likes my character overall!


2) I apologize for the confusion with the pics I used and the stated hair color. That is the result of me pulling things together while my phone is ringing off the hook and my car is getting fixed. The pics are of a teacher from RWBY who was the main inspiration for Asher, so that's on me.


3) Good call on the "Chaos Incarnate" bit! I'll change that, "Impulsive" fits that a lot better I think. :3


4) As for his weaknesses, I had originally figured that being able to withstand absurdly high volumes would be a weakness for a specific scenario that came to mind: you're out on a mission with several others, however many "several" is. You use your ability to make some Five Finger Death Punch or some Avenged Sevenfold crazy loud, but forget that your team is there too. You could deafen them if you're not careful.


That being said, I can see how it doesn't exactly fit into the "weakness" category. Some of you have made some good suggestions so far; any other ideas for possible weaknesses?


Also, feel free to PM me on Discord; I'm more than happy to discuss options available there.

No difference, actually. Brunette refers to anyone with brown hair. Boys, girls, men, women, so long as they have brown hair, they're called Brunettes.

Well i referred a guy as a brunette in one of my English essays and my English teacher yelled at me. So I use brunet lol but thank you ^^

 

[simj26]

Huh. I mean, I can argue that 'Brune' is the original term for females with brown hair, where brunet came from, and from there, 'brunette' came into existence, but whatever rows the boat.


Wayl, exsqueeze mee four maykind de meestayke. I ehm vayree sawree.

Hey I'm not mad thanks for taking the time. Honestly. If I was spelling something wrong I'm glad somebody bothered to tell me ♡

 

[TheDox]

The grammar of this kills a part of me


And by that I mean, I hate that I can't figure this shit out and googling has made it worse


It seems, though, that both spellings are acceptable to a degree, in a way not hugely dissimilar to color and colour


That's not to say I wouldn't use "brunette" in both cases.


Although, I'll give you the fact that in french, brunet seems to be the masculine to brunette's feminine.

@welian Oh my gosh, this role-play is booming! I've been following the notifications for the IC thread - it's so great to see multiple posts from various people every day. Alas, this is a speed I just cannot keep up with. I'm ready to ease back in to the site, but I don't think I'm best suited for such a big group.


The discussion here was super fun, though! Thanks for the opportunity and for keeping a spot open for me! I really do appreciate it.


Good luck!

  Personality
  
  
  • Kind-hearted
    Asher is kind, almost to a fault. Sure, if you cross him you'll know about it VERY quickly, but to him kindness comes first, and does so naturally.
    
  • Musically Inclined
    Music has worked its way into Asher's life in a variety of ways, and is his favorite hobby. He works it into everything else in his life as best as he can - including his job as a teacher.
    
  • Adaptable
    Between using his powers for good and everything that comes up at his other jobs, Asher has found that there are almost an infinite number of ways to "wing it" when you need to; you just need to get creative, sometimes. And he finds ways to employ this skill on an hourly basis, at minimum.
    
  • Wildly Impulsive
    Between the adaptability he picked up, his inherently creative nature, and whatever other factors are involved, Asher generally doesn't plan things out. Even when he does, it never seems like much of a plan, or at worst will fall apart five seconds into the first step. While Asher has generally embraced this aspect of himself, he doesn't always necessarily realize just how much confusion he can tend to leave in his wake.
    
  
  
  History
  
  
  Asher's early life was pretty white bread - happy family, vacations for the major holidays, nothing really out of the ordinary aside from his love of all things music. Then, one day, he started discovering that he could...change things about music. Manipulate the notes. Change the signals and waveforms. He kept it to himself for as long as he could, but eventually his family found out.
  
  
  His family reacted by trying to keep it quiet - literally and metaphorically. They told no one about his ability, and tried to keep Asher away from music as much as possible. About a week later, his parents sent him off to the Aegis program to keep him from turning every surface and object in their house into a drum and possibly destroying it.
  
  
  He enjoyed the freedom he had at the Aegis program so much, he decided to become a teacher there when he was old enough. His primary job is currently as the instructor for Mental Discipline, where he works his love of music into every aspect of his training regiment.

  Facility 108 Staff:
  
  
  Students:
  
  
  Family: Asher still maintains good relations with his family; he just isn't allowed to do anything with his powers around them, on pain of embarrassing stories being told to everyone.
  
  
  

• Ability	Points	Total	Description
  Health:	▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▮​	02	The ability to resist illness and recover quickly from injuries, overall health.
  Strength	▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▮​	03	Physical strength, the ability to strike hard, lift heavy objects, and so on.
  Toughness	▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▮​	01	Endurance and stamina, the ability to take a hit and still keep going.
  Agility	▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▮​	04	Speed, dexterity, nimbleness - agility is the ability to move quickly.

  Willpower	▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▮​	08	Strength of mind, the ability to stay focused and determined.

  
  
  Primary Power
  
  
  Asher cannot create sound waves in any way that a normal human cannot, but once one exists physically he can manipulate its physical properties. In musical terms, this means that he can adjust the frequency, amplitude, and overall "appearance" of a sound wave to adjust pitch, tempo, key, and so on. He is also capable of mixing sound waves together, and to some extent separating them as well, though due to the difficulty of that feat he's only ever been able to separate a few seconds of audio into two distinct signals in one go, and the resultant sound waves weren't always what he was hoping to achieve. He primarily uses these abilities for crowd control purposes, such as playing various kinds of music for a target/group of targets endlessly at high volume, making them unable to think.
  
  
  Secondary powers
  
  
  Because of his love for music (perhaps), Asher is capable of withstanding much louder sounds than a normal human can without hearing protection. According to the results of the last test run to measure his limit, when the volume reached 173 dB he "politely asked to end the test, claiming it was starting to get uncomfortable for his ears."
  
  
  Weaknesses
  
  
  • Because Asher can only manipulate sound waves that already exist in a physical sense, he must always carry something capable of playing music with him at all times. This also means that his ability is somewhat restricted by the physical limits of whatever device he's using - he can produce much greater effects (and much more destruction if he's not careful) with an amp the size of a refrigerator than with a smartphone.
    
  • Because noise is created in so many ways and by so many things, Asher needs to be incredibly careful about what sound waves he manipulates. Especially with so many people listening to music almost constantly, he needs to be sure that he doesn't accidentally start playing around with the sound of someone's footsteps down the hall or the sounds caused by the weather outside instead of the music he's supposed to be shifting into a different key. It's very possible for him to be overwhelmed by an abundance of sound sources.
    
  • Asher's ability is actually rather fragile, as sound waves require a medium to travel. If he ever finds himself up against someone who can manipulate air or liquids, they will pose a significant threat to him as they can dampen or impede his generated sound waves significantly, if not completely.

@welian does Ioana HAVE to take part in the exam in spite of just arriving at the school? She has no prior experience with anything.

 

[King Of Imagination]

@welian okay, thank you. Just let me know when you want me to do something.

@RemainingQuestions i don't know if you actually didnt know how to grade the midterms or if that was just an IC thing but i had a little idea so i might as well share it anyway – depending on how long/intense the snowball fight gets, we may end up seeing some small groups with different forms of leadership (governments) and some war-like qualities so you could possibly judge people on how they perform in terms of using their knowledge from your class about the history of governments and wars and such (considering the grading even matters enough to put that kind of effort in lol)

I was actually thinking about maybe doing that or something similar to that. I don't know yet though, we'll see how it plays out
