Oh! Lol. Sorry. XD I do that a lot too. (But there's a lot of ideas that sprout from that now)

And yeah you can go ahead and drop the both of them in the tab!

@Winter Kitten Thanks! I learned from my last attempt at the Marvel Academy RP I was part of, where they didn't think my backstory matched how I portrayed my character. To be honest, I didn't get it, but they kept wanting me to change her somewhat abusive past and I didnt want to, because it made her how she is. So I am happy you are ok with it. I didn't want to go into detail, instead I left it open for people to interpret what happened. :)

That's awful to hear. As someone who suffers from depression (which is totally not comparable to abuse) I'm a very bright and cheery person on the outside. And even when I just wanna wallow, I do my absolute best to stay positive and think positive. So I can definitely relate to Charity on that spectrum (and like her even more because of it).

While I advocate getting medicated to help treat mental illness symptoms, I'm a firm believer that laughter can do a whole world of good in dark times.

(But like, on a writer's note: who the hell has any right to tell anyone how to play their character when it's not breaking the rules of the game? Pfffffff)

I really really love how diverse the cast is in terms of personality and abilities tho. (Even if I'm not helping on the diverse racial feature front ahaha *sweats* I got another white boy coming in hot WOOPS)

@Winter Kitten I tend to have a positive outlook on life regardless of what I am feeling. There is already too much negativity in the world without me adding to it. Plus, nothing pisses off rude people more than being nice to them!

Telling rude people to have a great day in a non-sarcastic tone is absolutely the best thing. Kill them with kindness.

@Dead Cruiser

I have those days way too often. Take your time, though, we aren't in a rush here!

Here you go, in its copy/paste glory! Probably needs retuning.



Sorry, I didn't feel I could write a sufficient reply on my phone, so this response had to wait a few hours until I got back from work. I'm home now and very able to use a keyboard.

Alright, so, as a preface: as is, I cannot accept this character.

It's less about her general ability to work cohesively with the RP at hand and more her power level. I can accept things like Telepathy and Precognition, even Clairvoyance, because those are things I can very well trust people with and know that I can work with them to make sure they get the best use out of their powers without godmodding or metagaming. This? I can't really do anything but rely on the fact that you won't abuse it. Even then, everything this character does is going to cross that line multiple times. I was iffy on the idea of accepting her when the mention of 'Deadpool like character' came into play. Works very well on its own, even lends a great comedic affect, while also leaving a heavy impact on the audience when it comes to emotional overtures. However, in a collaborative sense where I don't have direct control over the character? It just comes off as slightly too tedious and overbearing on the plot.

I don't mind the break in immersion here or the lack of realism. This is a Marvel RP. Realism doesn't mean much and often, when people try to put in rules to keep things 'realistic' it tends to hurt the RP more than aid it. So, the idea behind Toonforce, thematically, sits well with me. In a mechanical point of view, not so much. And while you have many weaknesses for her, most of her weaknesses require pre-knowledge to take advantage of. They're also too random to be considered hard weaknesses to the character. I, as a GM, would have to literally godmod in order to keep your character's power in check, while also relying on trusting you, as the player to allow that. I'm not keen on doing that. I have enough on my plate as is to have to make sure every villain in the RP and every event in the RP effects your character, as well as a multitude of other. You could say that's laziness on my part, but it's also very tedious to have to go, "Alright, so I have everything in place to make this challenging for our base characters. Now, what do I need to do to make this challenging for Light, as well?" and that's obviously giving the villains prior knowledge to take advantage of Light's weaknesses, so she can't just steam roll through everything. That's an exaggeration, but to an effect it hits pretty close, regardless.

It's going to take a lot of fine tuning to make this power anywhere near acceptable. I'm looking for potential for these characters and the only type of characters I can overlook that for are Inhumans and even then it's gotta be on par with everyone else's characters whether through lack of control or lack of general power. For Light, she's kind of already hit her ceiling and that's only addled by her own knowledge and her soft weaknesses. She really has no room to improve because her potential is boundless, but her current power level is also kind of boundless too.

If you can reduce everything and make it fit nicely while allowing your character to grow, then I'll be happy to accept. As of now, though, she's way too powerful and I won't be able to manage her without breaking my own rules, too.

@Winter Kitten What's funny, is that I know the character Light that Archmage posted. They put in my roleplay for superheroes, except they didn't have Toonforce powers. Is my roleplay that bad? :(

@Winter Kitten For what it is worth, I have played with @Archmage MC's Light before and enjoyed it. If I may suggest: IF @Archmage MC can pull up the old threads of light so you can get a feel for how she is played.

Obviously they aren't going to be an intense focal point, but for those that do have mentors in Shield Academy that happen to be heroes, please tell me and I'll make sure they're available as teachers or well more like supervisors while I make a list of classes and the like.


Well, Erik definitely looks up to Barton and Romanov, so if they ever come through for a marksmanship demonstration, or a lesson in infiltration, he'll be a happy little fanboy!

That'd definitely assuage any doubts I have of the character's overall power. Maybe if it can be toned down to where it has more potential over initial power, I could be persuaded to allow it. Right now I'm not sure it's very cohesive with the other characters.

@Winter Kitten Personally, I am on your side with that. I've made my peace with the idea of toonforce powers, but I am not the GM and I have no say in the matter. I think toning it down would be beneficial for all parties involved.

I'd rather powers with the potential for something amazing, rather than powers that are right off the bat amazing. Stubborn healing factor would be the peak of those powers, enhanced regeneration would likely be the weak side of that spectrum. While it is a superhero roleplay, it's still an Academy one, too, so I'm looking for characters with powers that can improve with training and self-awareness.

But, if you're inspired by Deadpool, I can't stop ya there. That type of humor is just really, really hard to pull off without looking cheesy and trying a little too hard to make situations funny. ;P Not gonna stop you, though.

But this dog will frown at you in disappointment. :(



@Dethran

Eheh, I was already planning on bringing them in. ;D Garret will help him get in their good graces. Or he'll fail miserably and they'll both plummet into self-loathing and utter disappointment. (but what's the fun without the risk?)

Idea: the power to get up every morning feeling refreshed and renewed no matter how many hours of sleep you got.

I'm not projecting; you're projecting

Superpower Wiki is your friend, though. Kind of. I mostly spend time on that site clicking 'Random Page' and frowning at every result it gives me.
