Made a final decision; I'm not going to join the RP.

Sorry for the inconvenience I brought you.

I'm already seeing how the lines are going to be drawn in a future civil war (if we ever get that far in this RP):

-On the side of defending the city we have Alexandra, the Nobles supporting her, Kolya and Eponine (if she betrays Maria).

-On the side fighting against the city for various reasons are Chloe, Maria, any Nobles she convinces to join her, Shadow Compact and Eponine (if she stays loyal).

And in the middle there's Violetta, who probably chooses whichever side is most likely to win.


Interesting, I wrote Eponine to be fairly easy to understand, almost mechanical and robotic even, but her position as Maria's subordinate, her worldview of absolute order, and the fact that she has a sister (who makes for a potential hostage for either side to take advantage of) makes Eponine's allegiance truly difficult to predict.

Won't lie, part of me wants Chloe to stay on the opposite side as Eponine because I think they'd make great rivals for various reasons. But another part of me thinks it'd be awesome if they pushed past their differences to fight for a common cause and became unlikely friends and this super awesome team. The fact that various circumstances exist that might lead to either option in the end is exciting.

More RPs need this kind of tension.


I know what you mean. They have opposing worldviews, but if they do form a super awesome team, we should call it 'Blunt Force Trauma", since Eponine uses hammers, and Chloe uses gauntlets.

EDIT: I also wanted to add that most of Eponine's forces are from her slums, meaning they are mostly North Africans: Moroccans, Libyans, Egyptians, and especially Algerians. They tend to keep to themselves and have preserved their culture to a certain extent, so many of them are even Muslims. Adrian is an exception, among several others, since Eponine does take ability into account. It's just that her own people are usually the ones most willing to follow her without question and with a fervent zeal even.

@TrixyTrix I will admit, on second thought the mind reading makes me a bit nervous, but so long as it isn't horribly abused beyond reason IC, then this character is accepted.

Hey, it's another scythe-user! Welcome to the club.

But I gotta say, that's a lot of powerful abilities, I was surprised FL didn't want to nerf her.

EDIT: I just realized that the size of our group has doubled in these past few days, wow.

I thought about it, but from what I was told the healing factor is standard MG affair, not Sayaka fast. And it's also my understanding that she can't use them all at the same time, which evens up things more. As long as that's followed, there won't be an issue (Think about how much magic she must burn through using that circle, as well as directly manipulating her own energy for attacks. It seemed like a fair give and take)

Mind reading is the one I'm most uncertain about, to be honest.

That's true. For some reason I thought you had a limit to the number of powers, but looking back at the interest thread you basically had an "everything goes"-policy regarding it.

I'm usually a little uncertain about mind-reading, but this particular time I'm playing a character who that wouldn't be all that useful against, so who am I to judge? In practice, no problems here.

l aways thought that powers were actually limited to one per user, just in such broad strokes that you could apply it in a hundred thousand different ways. That's what i went for, at least.

Posted. I'm assuming Chloe won't attack while Eponine's speaking, and that Adrain will follow orders without too much fuss, but if anyone objects, please let me know and I can edit the post accordingly.

Well, that's basically what it is. It's just more explicit about what exactly she can do.

@SevenStormStyle Overall not bad. I would bump up the age she became an MG at by just a few years, since I don't think eight year olds can contract. I'd also point out that the power is generally based on the Wish itself and its intent, not the mental state of the person making the wish at the time. Though I understand if you're a bit leery of having resurrection as a power.

Interesting to note we now have a third side on this conflict with the pro-incubator people popping up, who are most likely interested in kickstarting this civil war so as to cause mass amounts of despair and contracts and, thereby, keep the incubators happy.

I for one welcome the coming of a three-way clusterfuck civil war, most likely timed with the arrival of a certain UberWitch or the fruition of some unnamed magical girl's magical research.. stuff.
I just hope we have a body count worthy of the Urobutcher's name.

I can understand the age thing, I was just going on Nagisa, since she seems pretty young, and some real girls reach the part of their life in which they would become very emotional at a young age. I'll bump it up, though, to make things reasonable. I'll see what I can do about the magic as well.

Edit: Now she's a year older, contracted at eleven, and with more appropriate magic.

Yo Flamelord, if you're gonna have Chloe and Eponine travel to the estate the guards will open the gates and salute at the sight of Eponine.

I assumed as much, so I was just gonna let the two of them handle the transition.

@TrixyTrix @The book of bad juju, if you two are gonna interact, then you can do that as you wish. If not, then I'll get you both responses.
