Could you perhaps make her 16 instead? Or 15?
A shame. You caught right on the moment when I'm deep asleep.


Her powers don't bother me, except in the fact that they seem quite OP.


I said this before but...


CALLING DIBS ON SHAPESHIFTING!!!

Oh, no, I promise they aren't OP She can only do it to small objects, because she isn't very strong. So small guns, rabbits, that sort of stuff. Unfortunately she is unable to clone tanks, but it certainly comes in handy if you're prone to losing car keys ! I could make her 16, no worries.

If you have the time, just roughly fill this out and post it here until you're able to finish later. If you can't that's alright too, but someone else might take something you had wanted, so this way you would have things reserved until tomorrow. And no worries, we won't start the actual roleplay until tomorrow

Alright, thank you ^-^


Name: Allen Theodore Stream


Age: 16


Personality: Anxious, wary, insecure, scholarly, has a tendency towards snapping at people.


Special Ability: Can pull and move matter, molecule by molecule.

 

[Idea]

My original intent was to make him the voice of logic member of the group that attempts to pick what he sees as the most rational manner of dealing with problems at hand. He is supposed to be the "balance" of the group and tries to be the diplomat/negotiator, not really someone who's ideas are rejected. More levelheaded if anything.
The consequence to this personality is he possibly thinks that certain solutions would benefit the group (in very specific scenarios, not all the time) that would be seen as ridiculous by the other members. Things like surrendering or joining the enemy to further achieve the group's goal, mostly along those lines.


The emotional wreck thing can be easily ditched. As with the "aspires to be a leader" trope.


I mean, basic summary is he is the collected guy who keeps his cool when the rest of the group can't. He has great common sense but possibly his morals can turn a solution he thinks is a good idea into a bad outcome or something along those lines.

That sounds like a Gary stu/Mary Sue to me. The only flaw is a fake one.


The idea of "voice of reason" character is to balance them being right and wrong. Being right all the time means imposing on others that they either side with you or they are wrong and that's just plain an. Roleplayibg is a collective thing, a character who is the best decision maker is only good in an environment where most of his decisions won't apply.


In other words, a character who is the voice of reason needs to be rejected. Not as a character, but by the other characters. And you can't go and say our characters are stupid cause they disagree.There needs to be a flaw that sets several, if not most results off track. and that has to be a real flaw, not just "he has Morales". That's for the brave and reckless character to handle.

OP in that if she wants to make a sea of knifes she can or an invencible shield of coins she can, cause there are no limits in the number of the thing she produces.


May I suggest that when she makes a new copy the previous disappears and loses effect? Like if she made a gun, she could shoot and make a new copy, but the shot would loose effect and the other gun would vanish?

I have a plan, no worries ! She may have unlimited powers to create as many as she wants, but there is a sort of limit, just quantifiable. For each thing she creates, it drains some of her energy. That's why she can't create large objects, because she's a tiny girl. The more knives she creates, the more tired she gets. If she creates too many, she'll pass out. It's why she doesn't use it too often, though in the heat of a battle if a neighbor lost a weapon she could create one for them without taking herself out in the process. She cannot, however, created ten swords for everyone. Just a couple, but it wares her out quickly. Though it may be a useful skill, it does hinder her quite a bit. She could technically die if she tried to recreate something like a tank, though I don't think it would ever come to that :'D Although I like your idea about it disappearing after use!


Ahaha, a shield of coins sounds pretty creative

With all due respect, this is a character idea. Simply that. I haven't come up with flaws yet because I was looking for insight on what to make the character's personality trait be, as many of the other common tropes were already taken.


I think you still misunderstand what the character's purpose is to be. The levelheaded one who keeps his cool and tries to make the best decisions he can. That doesn't mean he can't make wrong or right decisions. I never said he would call the other group members stupid either. He looks for outcomes that best fit the scenario, tells the group, and the group decides if they want to act on said ideas. He'll try to convince them that his way is the best and most "logical" but it doesn't mean they have to follow them. In no way am I trying to make a character that forces others to.


Honestly if you wanted just a few description words to oversimplify everything it's this: He's the calm and collected dude that tries to think of the best solutions to problems in his eyes.

I didn't say the character calls or think the other characters are stupid. oNly that what's phrased above implies one of the two:


Either he is just as flawed as everyone else in decision making (in terms of being logical or not and in regards for being able to divide plans and understand the situation)


Or he has key flaws to his decisions that would lead to wrong suggestions from his part as well


Otherwise things will go wrong.


In simpler terms, what I'm saying is that he has to be someone who is just as capable of making wrong decisions as everyone else even if he's "the voice reason reaaon" otherwise you (not the character) are implying that everyone else is retarded because they didn't even think of the obvious thing to do.

I see what you're saying I think the character being logical and cool-headed is a good starting point, but I also agree that he shouldn't be so "ideal", I guess is what @Idea is getting at. It's a good start for brainstorming other things as well, which is what this thread is for Ultimately, it is your character @SilverStone , so write down what you think would fit best for his type of personality. Just be sure to remember that he shouldn't be too ideal is all

I like your character so far! Just make sure that he isn't too similar to his younger sister Though I know you have no way of telling how close it is yet, you will once the Character Apps have been posted. Remember, my character is a sort of Lolita type girl. Young, innocent, positive, etc. Just keep that in mind

I did say he could make wrong decisions. Multiple times, his opinion on what's "optimal" can lead the group into trouble. I'm not saying he's perfect at making decisions; he thinks he is and he thinks his solutions are always great. He's not gonna figure out the right way every time and I doubt decision making will even be left to him for most of this. The whole issue was just intended to be a side point anyways, not his main feature. His main feature is he's just a cool headed guy who reacts calm or stoically to most things.


mannn i just want to do fun powers and time travel and stuff and not argue about character buildingggggg

Oh, I see. Self-righteousness.


I am most sorry , all this time I thought you were statin his decisions were logically the best, but you meant he thoguht his decisions were best.


So, what powers do you want?

Ahaha, I'm glad we got that all cleared up ! No worries!


Alright, I'm going to leave you all to work on putting up that Character App. I'll let you guys know when it's up!

Hey, it's all good. I understand I kind of came across a bit cryptic and kind of worded things weirdly in my original post. No worries.


As for powers, I'll most likely stick with something simple, possibly like manipulation of ice, extreme speed, or telekinesis. Something along those lines.

Well, I do see some key differences from the stereotype you have as a base:


-my character is a lying coward


-my isn't naive, though he is overly trusting (in other words he will give anyone a chance, but that doesn't mean he'll fall for the same trick twice or that he'll take actions based on fantasies)


-My character is a worrywhat, whereas a loli would normally be more carefree


-my character is underdastanding , which implies a certain level of maturity.

Gotcha That'll be alright then. I'm glad that they will be similar with their positive attitudes as well, since they're siblings.


Just a heads up as well, I will be leaving creating the family up to you (since there is a "Family" section in the Character Application). Start brainstorming, if you wish!

I have a suggestion How about the power to force images in someone's mind? Like a sort of youtube video flashing from inside your head. It's a simple power with many (and ver amusing) applications, especially if a character is, as your character being self-righteous would suggest, egocentric. As long as there was a limit on time and frequency of the images, I think it'd work great.

Alright! Now I just need someone who'll tease my character...


And someone who'll try to take advantage of him.

Character Applications are up!

 

[Idea]

@Evine, my character isn't complete yet, but could you go ahead and start reviewing it, so I can spare time to do any changes necessary when I wake up?

[Semblance]

Hey question! What kind of setting does this take place in? Like it is more similar to medieval times or modern times or futuristic times? Just wanted to know how advanced their technology is (i.e. do they live in villages as farmers or in city apartment working office jobs?)
