@Traitor

Great! I'm going to start working on it tomorrow.

Also to @AmberAlert what is the technology like in this RP?

Don't mind this, just a WIP that will hopefully be done sometime I'm not to busy.

From a cursory glance, Melody seems a bit on the stronger side than the other characters, but that should be fine.

@ThriceDefied

I think I gave a decent balance of ability with draw back as she can't move while her ability is active as well as a use of sword and shield in an age that seems to have WW2 era weapons. Another thing I can do to limit her power is to have a limited range of use for the giant so that it would not seem like she sits miles away controlling it.

Well limited range wouldn't change a lot since you can just be in a nearby bunker, since you see through the giant's eyes anyway.

But I wasn't complaining, I was just making a statement that I find to be factual. I have no issue with different people having completely different power levels.

Hey guys--I know Im always apologizing for delays but I'm sorry for the delay, haha. I was in a car accident this weekend and while everything is alright, it was a lot to take care of.

Let me check out everything yall left on here and I'll edit this post as I go. Just wanted to let you guys know I'm alive and well. :]

Oops-totally thought I was editing the last post.

I have a question or three that need sorting out for my CS to develop!

Are we limited to playing "standard" talented soldiers, or is it possible to get into more specialised roles (I'm specifically thinking about explosives expert)?

If you'd like a specialized role, I'd be open to the idea. Simply send a PM.

On a scale from terrified recruit soldier to legendary war hero, what is the window of experience a character should be within?

Your experience in the military should be somewhere between 2-6 years. The first two years are spent in "Z" school. This is when/where the military grooms both you and your Talent. No war heroes here your character can definitely have some battle experience.

I know this is difficult to nutshell up, but "how sci-fi" are we talking? Is war still waged with bullets or did we move on to brain-frying death pew pew beams? Does everyone get their own private anti-gravity jetpack skateboard? Do explosions still go boom with smoke and shrapnels? \

So I totally forgot an entire section that I had meaning to include--technology.

Being that I know almost nothing about modern weaponry, I am personally avoiding the whole AR-547s N-type thing. To me, there're Rifles, ARs, Snipers, Shotguns, etc. Pretty much any basic weapon class you get in a video game (which is still more advance than me, really). Though I DO understand this is a military style RP. So, I will be compensating my lack of realistic weapon knowledge with some sci-fi knowledge. I know, Sci-fi is a scary word, BUT I will be modest. So let me explain---



Also @Traitor I totally respected your wishes and have not looked at your WIP. :]

Also to @AmberAlert what is the technology like in this RP?

Check out what Ive written above or simply check out the new section in the OP about Technology.

@MonkeyBusiness

Your character's Talent sounds interesting so far. I looove the idea of summoning. A friend of mine was once describing a video game or anime or something to me... where there were characters who all could summon one 'guardian'. All the characters give up soemthing of themselves for a guardian who's strengths made up for it. Or I think, I can't remember. Anyways, he described this boy who was blind, who would summon this giant rock-creature. I just imagined this Legend of Korra-esque character with spikey brown hair and dirty brown clothes with a blind fold, sitting crosslegged on a piece of earth jutting from the ground. And as calm as hell, he summons this thing that pulls itself right out of the ground from beneath him. I imagine this boy, frail and dirty, never moving, confident as this colossus crawls out of the ground, shaking the earth, crushing everything around it, with him on it's shoulder.

I know my description is off and totally not doing it the justice it deserves, I'm kinda tired... but its been an image that's stayed with me for a long time.

Anyways, I don't see anything explicitly wrong with your character's Talent. I agree with Thrice, it is inherently strong, but I think you make a good point in the summon being a bit vulnerable being that it is constricted to being melee. However, I really think you can push this Talent further. Go bigger, go badder. Make him bigger, stronger, etc. Or maybe come up with a few different summons. Put a larger limit to the power. Like the example I made, the character is handicapped by having the ability to summon this monster. Being completely blind creates a need for a 'guardian', making the Talent more connected to the character. Or if you decide to have several summons, the lack of control of which summon you get can become more important. Maybe your character is a control freak and not having control of which he gets drives him nuts--connecting your character and talent.

That being said, I don't think any changes are necessary. Furthermore, you can decide to develop your Talent as the story progresses (and maybe you've already decided on this).



Doooes anyone have any questions, comments, concerns?? :]

Will be working on CS today :)

Very sorry to say this, but I'm afraid I'll have to withdraw from this. As awesome as the premise is, I've reached an impasse with my character concept that I can't seem to overcome. I'm just not satisfied with my own creation, and wouldn't be able to play it at an acceptable level of quality.

@Traitor Im really sorry to hear that. If you're having trouble with a character, you can always bounce some ideas around with us here. Or even through PM. I'd really hate to see you go because of writer's block.

How is everyone else's characters coming?? Im going to poke the people from the IC one more time and see whats going on with them. Otherwise, I should have my character(s) mostly done by Friday night. I still havent decided if I want to post a cs for some of them or just control them all as NPC.

Anyways, tonight and last night were my "busy" days I told yall about. So Ill be pretty free the next few daya if yall need me! :]

Waiting till my day off to sit-down and take my time with it.

That's finee. Just keep us updated. The weekends almost here so hopefully we'll all find some time to get our stuff together.
