Ah, I think I could probably answer that (Though please correct me if I'm wrong @Lmpkio)

Assuming she knew the College reps weren't from her planet, which they aren't if I am correct, then they would be classed as "aliens", regardless of appearances. Of course, thats just me speculating.

That'd be perfectly acceptable if the picture Lmp provided was of a human, but it's of some ghostly creature that doesn't look human at all.

It was a good one too, but there is something odd about it. What's the deal with the alien that's supposedly from the Inquisitional College? I'm curious.


Well since everyone was creating their own IC characters, so to be unique I decided to put an alien-creature instead. But if you want a more in-story explanation, let me deliver. The world on Ghidorah's homeland is basically inhabitable for most signs of life, after she absorbed all of the golden mana from within. Most of the Ghidorahians have gone extinct, other than Ghidorah herself, except for a few loyal followers who help her achieved her rise to power. They were spared and given as her private retainers. Ironically she's a queen... without a livable kingdom. But her reputation of her tyranny in destroying worlds simply caused many alien species who had heard of her to worship and fear her as a goddess.

Now of course, for the tornument, she will be nerfed as stated by the alien figure himself so she won't be like ripping the entire place apart...

Unless you know... what she said:

Well technically that would be true. I also stated it as an alien because... well to us it looks alien. So its both true and false, from certain points of views.

Thing is, no aliens work for the college. Only humans. A lack of oxygen can be handwaved in favor of sticking to this rule.

Yeah you can say that was the main reason. Humans cant survive due to the lack of oxygen so an alien that doesn't need much oxygen or breathes something that isn't oxygen can work.

An alternative would be to outfit the College personnel in oxygen equipment.

I don't like to butt into arguments, but LMP... there are literally only humans in the college. Not ghosts, not spirits, not anything non-human. In other words, it is non-negotiable, and - in every sense of the word - impossible for Gidorah's "recruiter" to be anything but human.

I wouldn't say that this particular debate has gone on long enough to need outside involvement, though I appreciate the consideration.

That is not true I'm afraid. I'm already thinking of ways to reuse the College's stuff later on in the story for important roles. I would not be logging each new person into the Characters Tab if they were all going to be one-offs.

Oh, before I forget, there was one more thing I wanted to address. This is mostly pertaining to players whose characters required adjustment in terms of power to be considered acceptable. I would vastly prefer it if terms like 'nerf' went completely unused. It's far too meta for my taste, and the idea of magic restrictions being placed on the various contestants doesn't sit well with the narrative. Instead, just as I suggested, adjust the character itself. If you can't find an IC reason like 'Dante chooses to fight in only his robes as a testament to the fortitude of his order' or 'X forgot this certain piece of equipment in his haste of leave' or 'Y's gear is on the fritz', make it so that the character was always at that power level. This may mean the character is essentially different from the original, but that was what was agreed to.

I considered but I felt like still sticking to Ghidorah just for now. Maybe when she dies Leonidas can enter but idk.

Welp I guess I just better change it to a human with a space suit. Not as original but hey, I can't argue with it.

Well I can't argue with that can I. Will change it up.

Also, Lug, the powers you see for Ghidorah are according to her RP profile. But do you want me to change the reason for her 'nerf' as well? I may have one ready if you don't sit too well with the original idea.

Edit: The 'Alien' is now a human person. Its just left as Alien according to Ghidorah's POV.

If the powers Ghidorah has are according to her RP profile, then she shouldn't need any nerf because her powers are already within the acceptable parameters, right? The way it's currently worded IC, it sounds like she had her full flew of powers before I asked for adjustment, and you're specifically nerfing to tone it down to what's in the character sheet.

Right. And that's true. But if you want me to change this, I'll just state a natural occurance that happened after the Earth battle, like how her powers weakened and how she tries to get more power or something overtime but currently at the power level mentioned in her profile. That good yeah?

I made another NPC. Depending on who gets him they might want to keep him around to make them highly volitional equipment for later rounds.
I imagine this would be way to much vagueness for a pc, but as an npc hopefully it lets the writer go nuts with whatever silly things they want him to make/do that they have to stop.

@Hostile Not sure if it's a good thing or a bad thing? I dunno if I can post, I seem to believe that in order for me to play my characters, there has to be a Player, either of you guys. I believe so.
