Honestly, watching the music video makes me want to start writing dystopian sci-fi again.

I did have a couple sci-fi RPs at one point that did surprisingly well considering it was more of a world building project and my limited writing skills.

[SIZE= 14.6667px]Ryuuko's family is upper/1%, and the richest in the Shirogane clan . Since she is part of the main branch of her family, they have most of the wealth. [/SIZE]
[SIZE= 14.6667px]... Er, I can't easily explain how branch families work. I'm not in one and it's not really something in Western culture. ;-; Please use the internet to understand it, if you are curious about it.[/SIZE]

It kind of was though. Historically, Western aristocracy had "Cadet" branches that were made from younger sons who didn't get to inherit anything. The difference is the cadets weren't always expected to be servile to the main household.

[SIZE= 14.6667px]Oh, didn't know that, cool. I meant as in currently, though, since I hear more about branch families in Asia and such. It's nice that you know what those are, as it's pretty hard for me to explain it.

Wait, currently? Like, it's still a thing for them to have branch families in Asia?

[COLOR= rgb(102, 0, 255)]Sort of, yeah. They're not legal anymore (as in, the other branches don't have to legally do things for the main one) but they're much more loose compared to the past. It's more of a thing that the really, really old families do. The way it works is that the branches ask the main one for advice and the main branch guides them in decisions, usually the oldest one in charge. And it's more like... respect-based, like you don't want to disappoint/insult your family by doing a certain thing and less of a requirement. It was a pretty common thing for rich families in the really old times, though something like this became relevant again near the end of/post-WW2 in Japan, if I remember correctly. [/COLOR]
[COLOR= rgb(102, 0, 255)]Small disclaimer: I don't know everything about these sorts of families since I'm more western in culture and naturally this means I know more on western families. This is more about Japanese branch families and less about general Asia, so not all of this correct for them.[/COLOR]

R, these families are a lot more lax than what they used to be and are more of "acting in favor of the family's needs" than legal obligation.[/COLOR]

That was a misclick I swear
....guys...?
Can we talk casually? Something less.... complicated for my brain to understand?
Such as explosions. Yes, explosions. Speaking of explosions, how crazy can you get with your RWBY style weapons? Just asking. By far mine is..... well.....
Yeah. Every single one of the weapons I designed are a bit normal.
Maybe a waffle machine that turns into a six minigun combined into a single turret?

Hmmmm.
Looks like creativity is such a hard thing for everyone.
Buuut there is always people who make random things from scratch, so...
What am I even talking about

A wrist watch that can be unfolded into a shield and folded back into a pistol and unfolded into a sword... In that order

ive got a weapon where its a spear that shoots the spearhead, connected to the spearhead and the shaft is a wire capable of conducting electricity. There is a yellow dust crystal inside that charges the spears voltage when aura is used to activate it. The spear is a meter and a half and can shoot up to another meter and a half.
hows that?

The annoying thing about creativity is that anything you think of usually either has been done before or is wildly impractical.
When I was thinking of what gimmick to give my character, I first considered doing a martial arts-dancing combo thingy.
Then I remembered that's Capoeira.
THEN I REMEMBERED THAT'S MERCURY'S SHTICK

I'm probably gonna incorporate powers from Brutal Legend into the bass my character will make later on

Speaking of which, I've used the whole weaponised guitar thing myself a few times. The last time I did it, someone immediately brought up Brutal Legend. I've also seen countless people use the same idea. Illustrates my point about creativity quite nicely I think.
