@AccursedBiscuit@karamonnom@kidd@Nytem4re@Aewin@Major Ursa@Divine Darkness@MiddleEarthRoze@Smystar99@CharmingDevil

So this is the OOC explaination of what's happening or what's going to happen in the IC:
Right now, Grimbold is expecting everybody to change into their animal forms. Then we're heading for the shrine. Something will happen there, and that will be the end of the night.

Then: you can pick or create an NPC that you can torment. Which gives you the opportunity to figure out how you can best torment somebody with your powers :p
It's not totally free though. the person you're tormenting must be between 16 and 25 and not disabled (yet). Since you're getting a specific target per person, this gives you the opportunity to choose somebody that is convenient for you, or otherwise interesting. For instance: Daniël's target could be one of his customers. It might be a regular, it might be one that he never met before but that just happens to enter his café and he just happens to hear his name.
Another interesting example might be for Eddie, if he learns that his target is the tomboy redhead that he is currently smitten by. But that is Biscuit's choice.
So choose a name that Grimbold gives you, that fits.

Then: I will give you some time to play out this current week. You could go hunt your target down solo, or together, make a plan to do something to him everyday. Or just do something on friday night. As long as it will prove effective. You could also fail. but at least most of you should succeed. I trust in your sense of realism to also write the consequences of your tormentations.
The rest of your time, you can use for whatever you want to do. Mingle with the other characters or write some more about your character's daily life.

I hope that will work for all of you. I case of questions or if you feel stuck, please ask/tell me. I'm here to help you out. You can throw it in the OOC as well, others might have a good idea. Enjoy :)

But first we'll visit that shrine.

So I hope I didn't scare anyone out of posting from here. The conversation can just continue casually while people randomly start morphing into critters. Or if the girls don't want to be naked in front of the others when they return, they can use that extra room to change, so their clothes will be there when they get back. when everybody is shifted, I will guide the story along.

@Obscurus So I have a rough idea of who I want my target to be and what I'll do throughout the week but that led me to thinking about how my character uses his power. I never really expanded on that in my CS. Much like how bats use echolocation by making a sound and processing information provided by the echo, I was thinking Daniel should have to make some kind of sound, either a whistle or snapping his fingers together, etc. And the intensity of the sound determines the severity of the target's headache. I was also thinking Daniel would have to make direct eye contact with the target or maybe just think of the target in his head. Wanted to get some feedback regarding what everyone's thoughts are. Also should using his power cause an adverse affect? And can our characters use their powers while in animal form?

great questions.
You can use your powers while in animal form.
Small usage of your power has no negative effect. Though a constant use will definitely wear you out.
The options for your power to work are all fine by me. Though I think your target should be at least within seeing/hearing distance.

OK sounds good. I'll make it so that the target has to at least be within Daniel's line of sight. And whistling would probably make the most sense as far as what sound he has to make.

So this is how I imagine Rob and Eddie having fun in animal form:

playing around


don't chew on my face


Cracking jokes



Rob: Giddy up!
Eddie: Get of my back, we're naked.
Rob: It's not gay if we are animals.

@Alina13 The character relationships on your CS are to explain Genevieve's relationships with the other PCs. You can discuss this with the rest of us either here in the OOC or through PM.

Also, she only gets 2 powers. Animal transformation and a single other "minor" power.

Also, you've stated that your Professor gave you your powers? Grimbold isn't a Professor of Music, he's just a random guy, as far as I know.

@Alina13 Hey! Thanks for submitting. It seems you didn't read through all the information in the OP of the OOC. I would like you to do that before revising the character to something I can accept.
A few things that I would like you to change:

* No mind control. Literally that example is stated as a no go in the OP.

* You only get one power. And it has to be a very limited power. You can find a more detailed description in de the OP, plus some examples. You could also read through the characters of the others for inspiration and to find out what has already been taken. Control over the weather would be too much. Plus creating a breeze is already the power of another character. So I would like you to change that. Think more in terms of something that could be considered bad luck, when you use it on someone.

* Grimbold is not a music teacher indeed, normally I would ask you think of another way your character came into contact with him. But we can go for the option that she's new to the group. So she has yet to meet Grimbold. We can work with that.

* That would also work for the relationship part. That part is only meant to describe relationships with other PLAYER characters, as they already knew each other before the RP started. So you can erase that part, and if you want to hang on to it, perhaps you can find a way to weave it into her backgroundstory. Since your character will be new (storywise), she doesn't need to have a relation established with any of the other characters yet.

* Though introverted and extroverted don't necessarily cancel each other out in real life, they can roughly be considered opposites. Making your character have both traits, gives her less depth instead of more. I'd like you to at least replace one of them with something else, or find another way to describe what you mean for her. This thread might help with some insight on that topic: 3 commandments for character creation
Also, 'wise' is not really a personality trait, but more of a qualification. Like saying somebody is physically strong. (And deep thinker seems similar and rather vague) More on this, you can find here: how to RP certain traits
All in all I'd like you to rethink her traits.

So while I don't mean to scare you off with these demands, I do need to get a feeling that we're on the same wavelength. That you understand not only the rules but also know what's going on. I definitely share these pet peeves And I would like people to actually read each others posts. Starting with the OP in the OOC. It's up to you to decide whether this is a standard that you can meet.

That being said, I do like you to join the RP and I appreciate the effort you already took by filling out the CS. I'm looking forward to your revised character.

Alright guys there's a new sherrif in town. Roze will be co-GM from now on. Which means she will know spoilers, but she still won't tell them to you;p Also, she has the authority to accept and decline new characters, and to point out the rules when they are being broken.
I expect her to be empathic, wise and fair in her decisions, and I expect the rest to respect her authority.
