She wasn't trying to be a trickster, lure him in or anything like that, it was just an accident
She had posed as a boy since she was 9, it was just her life
Was she a tomboyish character?

when times get bad and dark, we need a prankster. You should join @GoldenChari in that.
that's interesting xD .
A cross-dresser wielding a frying pan.


Can't get more comical than that unless it's an Ichiya Misono faceclaim.

Oh, no, it was at Dagfinn, sorry.
And your cs. xD . Oh deer.
Frying pan. A tool of mass destruction. Who needs a sword when you have a frying pan. Kek.


And now for the stuff you listed:

  1. Glad you liked it d:
  2. I intended on it to be. I mostly only intended on using metal manipulation for his frying pan and everything else as a emergency use. Also intended on the summons costing a fair bit, since they are pretty powerful. That said, I'd prefer physical fighting since as said the only thing he'll be mostly using his magic for is more or less 'unsheathing' his weapon.
  3. Do I have to like. Write that out fully? Main reason I left it as TBR is because I like to write it as I go, I usually make a more solid background that way(I'm horrible at pre-planning things for the most part). Or do you want like a rough direction of how it's going?
  4. 2. One for whackin' and one for cookin'/backup whacker. Hue.

1. Hue.


2. Metal manipulation is fine, just make sure that the effects aren't TOO quick xD (for now, nyehehehe). I recommend that if you want him to be better at physical, probably leave out the rituals. His age is too young to know rituals and manipulation and be a good fighter.


3. Yeah, I'm not a fan of long bios either haha. I just want a brief idea/direction of his background and give it a sanity check. I know you're a reasonable person, we just want to avoid overly abused characters with really kind personalities. (They don't make sense to Quarkie).


4. HUE.


Also, I didn't realise there would be that many cs before writing the interest check... ._. I'm a little scared now....

  2. Whale. I intended on the rituals being a last ditch effort, as I said. Partially due to him being unskilled, and due to it taking a fair amount of magic. I know how to balance things properly, ^-^.
  3. I'll try to get that PM'd to you before I go to sleep, in that case.

Ah, yeah, I know what you mean. For safety measures. That's why we need EVERYONE to be there to save the day ^_^ .


Also, ritual magic takes up a lot of gems. He's gotta have money to buy them, or is he also a miner? =P

Read the thingy and you'll understand how he can afford them ^-^

Ok, yes, he can afford them. =D


Just be generous on the physical strength for now.


Don't worry, I'm sure he'll have plenty of chances in the RP to improve when they start the journey.

Awesome. And yep, I intended on it. I didn't intend on him being able to launch someone skyward with his pan yet.

What if I said...


if this RP manages to progresses far, he can definitely do it?

@Quark When we staaaartin? xD
Probably after another day or so? I have an exam tomorrow T_T. I'm also waiting on a friend to see if he's going to put his cs.


In the meantime probably would be a good time to decide on where everyone wants to start off. I still need to put up the list of objectives of the direction of the story.

I am already scared to see how this will go XP So many different character attitudes, a lot different from most RPs I have seen
We shall see how different it is from other RPs. It could be the same, or it could be very different. It'll depend on you guys.


@Mykinkaiser Just curious, you found out about this RP in the other section. How many of the secrets of this RP do you know compared to @GoldenChari?
 



Earlier today, or yesterday for some of you, I might have missed some of the messages in the OOC. Sincere apologies.


I've taken a look and it appears there were confusions about magic, and concerns about lack of details with settings.


Regarding settings, I've tried to add the amount of detail based on the other casual RPs around here. It was also an attempt to give enough freedom for everyone to be creative in the medieval fantasy setting, as well as not overload with too much reading. If you want more info on Erminia for your cs, feel free to ask (I can add some more cities as well). Suggestions for new landmarks are also welcome. When we start on the actual journey of the RP, the geography for the next challenge/destination will be introduced before the arc. I just prefer to keep it hidden in case I want to make modifications for the character developments.


Now regarding the more confusing part: Magic.


I have mentioned in the descriptions and in the lore section, that magic doesn't really have a big effect. By that, I had meant the range, time required and over efficiency would be lower, and even more so without using magic gems. Generally in roleplaying games I am aware that magic can be instantaneous and you don't require this many items. I won't go into too much details for why, but the reason is for later on for power upgrades in part II and part III. You notice that there are sections for new power slots. Those are for new magic abilities, or current magic buffs. Think of how in a normal adventure game, your character starts off mediocre (or weak) and then gradually gets stronger and stronger (through lots of grinding).


Thank you guys for taking the patience to edit your cs up to what I was looking for. If you have a cs that has less specific descriptions of your magic skills in the cs, please ensure that you will be conservative in the magic effects.


Some of you may be worried about not having enough abilities. Rest assured, it means that you have more room for power upgrades (at a reasonable level). Also, we need to be a team of people with different skills to work together. The cs is not just about revealing your character, it's also about what you can offer to others (why else would I put up that "extra" section?).


Therefore those who have magic abilities will naturally have a higher magic defense, but for those who have negligible magic abilities will have a reasonable amount of physical advantage.


Thank you to those who have raised concerns. Any more of them put them here. I wonder whether I should request a FAQ tab...


With what I have proposed for the settings and magic, all those in favour can say "yay" and those who aren't say "nay" and let me know.
