I do still think self-prototyping is something that, mechanically speaking, could be dealt with. It'd just be (depending on the other prototyping applied) something that constituted a small to large mechanical benefit, plus a handful of things to implement on a roleplaying standpoint. Heck, mechanically speaking, the chief effects of it aren't even really an issue until later. Sure you've got a tiger by the tail in a way, but it's not something you have to deal with until you've got tiger.


As an example: TimMothy would probably gain the ability to fly, but also an uncontrollable attraction to bright lights. The first could be dealt with primarily from a roleplay standpoint. The second could be treated as a sort of always-on debuff that reduced his defense in the presence of such lights as they distract him from his own protection.

 

[Unbridled Originality]

I suppose. If you're okay with it, ToW, then I guess you can go for it, Sunder. I just didn't want to slight Thief by saying no to him and yes to you.

 

[Thief of Words]

Eh. Alpha timeline crap. As much as I'd had (and still sort of do have) my heart set on it initially for reasons I can't actually articulate, I can still understand your reasons for not wanting to roll with it for Iris. Even if I still think it's fitting with her aspect's more literal potential interpretation.


People change their minds on things, and I have Iris to get my disappointment out of my system on that point. :tongue:


Besides it sort of fits the set of images that Ione found in her temple if Tim had self-prototyped. Besides, there's nothing to say a doomed-timeline Iris didn't self-prototype at some point. It just might only ever show up in relation to Isaac's land or powers.


EDIT for @Unbridled Originality: Rambling on made me forget my point: Roll with it for Tim.

 

[Sunder]

Nah we're on another path already. That timeline and it's awesome name is aborted already ha.

 

[Thief of Words]

And checking the new code. Still excited to have Iris' plot to actually advance. >.>

 

[Unbridled Originality]

Movin. Moving never changes.

 

[shepsquared]

I'm still hing that my tactics roll helps. If so, my obsessive interest will be justified

 

[Unbridled Originality]

Like I said, life is pretty hectic, thanks to packing and moving, and once I'm moved, I'll be without internet for a while.

 

[Thief of Words]

Aww. Well, hang in there!

 

[Unbridled Originality]

Briefly back for a quick blaze of glory, then I'll be gone until I have full internet Monday.

 

[Seeker of the End]

Okay then, I'm guessing that I fused skyrim with a helmet and got a cool helemt. Can you tell me stat bonuses for the loot I got?

 

[Thief of Words]

Fair enough. Hope the new accommodations are turning out well for you.

 

[Unbridled Originality]

Helmet is +2 to initiative, Coat is +1 to fortitude. The handheld provides no numerical benefit.

 

[Unbridled Originality]

Also, just FYI, one Jasper enters his gate, Act 2 will end and a little more light will be shed on the Exiles.

 

[shepsquared]

I'll get onto that. I don't suppose my roll for strategy will have any effect?

 

[Direhuman]

I'm back. Technical difficulties and all that.

 

[Unbridled Originality]

Alright, so in case it's gone unnoticed, this RP hasn't updated in a while.


I have a pretty severe case of depressive-type bipolar disorder, and I hit a major depressive state just as the school year started up. Between getting out of bed and trudging to campus, I just don't have the energy to keep up with running multiple RPs at this time, so I'm paring it down to just this one. Posting will resume on a normal, if somewhat less rapid, schedule. The Act 2 Pause is hereby declared officially over.

 

[Seeker of the End]

Good to have you back, my friend. Let us know if you need to take a break. We'll manage.

 

[shepsquared]

Hooray! Seriously tho, none of us will blame you if you ever need to take another break.

 

[Thief of Words]

As someone with major depression and Seasonal Affective, I know how that one can go. Glad to hear back from you, though.

 

[Cirno]

I fourth everything already said. Good to see you again, Unbridled Originality!

 

[Unbridled Originality]

Thanks guys.

 

[Seeker of the End]

Okay, everyone who hasn't updated recently: Please do so soon!


Edit: This does not include you Unbridled. Just take your time.

[Thief of Words]

Hadn't realized all I lacked was a Gumption roll.


EDIT: is it weird that I eventually picture Iris recruiting in a manner not unlike Eddy did in Brutal Legend?
