Not really. We just don't like Discord. Whether it stays or not is something I'll discuss with KoL. It's a probable maybe.

@The 42nd Gecko

Your character is accepted by me.

I'll go post in the happy verse later today or tomorrow.

@TheWindel
So a lead bullet and a pillow would cost the same amount of energy to create? Considering the lead bullet has far more mass, but the pillow has far more volume.

More or less like that.

However, the eyes still follow the minimum logic. So, if you attempted to create a bullet flying at lethal speeds, it would cost far less than a pillow flying at lethal speeds, since you'd need far more contrived conditions (not only would you need more energy, but also to create a pillow that doesn't get destroyed by the forces involved) to have the second one work.

Ultimately, the Silver Eyes are much better to create things that your character is knowledgeable of/intimate to, or at least, something that he can get a decent mental image of. That's one of the reasons why Henry's black holes pale in comparison to what he saw Juno do before. Aside from the fact that she's the physical embodiment of space and gravity, there's the fact that he doesn't know how gravity works.

By the way, everyone, we are thinking about holding a Q&A event sometime and will probably archive whatever comes out of it. We are still thinking the best way to do it, meanwhile you can keep those questions coming over here.

This kind of interaction is far more interesting than what we had over here for most of this RP's duration. We are actually quite glad that we got some real interest in these past couple months.

@KoL Speaking of space and time, probably the only thing I miss about the vassals is I never got to do a neat trick I had planned for Alexi vs Juno.

Alexi: Via the interesting interplay of space and time, I can "sidestep" your gravity waves you send out to flaunt your power!
Juno: Very interesting, but, I can still just teleport behind you and blast you.
Alexi: Yes, well, there's always a few downsides to any technique.

Perhaps a discussion thread specifically for questions/explanations related to lore, history, and important characters/places? I've actually had a lot of questions myself.

Is Ananta gonna hold a storytime for the kiddies? Or will this be entirely OOC?

@KoL
So objects can be created together with energy/states already applied to them? So for example, you could create a computer chip as well as provide it with electricity?

Could Silver Eyes be used for 'brute force' attacks, creating laser beams and blasts of fire? Effectively simply bringing a destructive force into existence.

Could the Silver Eyes be used to 'create' things such as space and time? So could you use Silver Eyes to create a pocket dimension, expand the space between two points, or create a corridor of contracted space? Could you create a time distortion similar to that created by a black hole to alter the flow of time in an area relative to the rest of the universe? Think 'hyperbolic time chamber' or 'narnia'.

Sincerely, Alexi would have no edge over Juno. She's quite used to fighting Time manipulating enemies, especially since her foil Vassal it's the one that has Time as their Element. By the way Element, just like Hohenheim said, is how the Vassals and their Masters call the concept that they embody.

Like I said before, you guys shunned the Vassals before we could get to explain anything about them or yet to make the story more interesting for you. Making assumptions about them will not result in truth more often than not.

Either that or a chat room/etherpad. The latter of all, seems to be the best option when it comes to archiving.

A potential framing device. It can certainly be considered.

I'll have answers for these when I'm in front of a proper computer, in a couple hours or so.

A Q&A event will most likely be brought about via a Discord.

@KoL Okay. Bummer. I thought that because gravity propagated at the speed of light, and Alexi manipulates the speed of light, she could do some nifty tricks to avoid the weaker "I'm just showing off my power by hitting the whole battlefield" attacks. But if Juno manipulates the concept of Gravity rather than uses actual gravity, no amount of Alexi changing the laws of physics would allow her to even survive being on the same battlefield, as her lungs would just collapse.

@The 42nd Gecko

Most Vassals tend to play around when they ever bother to fight- barring Iona who is something of an avid fanatic of combat when her blood gets pumping- so odds are good it wouldn't even occur to Juno to do something so overwhelming to end the fight outright.

@Lonewolf685 Juno's done it in 50% of the fights she's shown up in.

Under the whole "the entire battlefield is now x10 gravity" move, unless Alexi can block with a creative use of her powers (which I've just been told can't be done) she's just left suffocating on the ground. Which is a bummer, cause I thought Alexi was my strongest remaining character. I thought that her manipulating the speed of light was pretty good move against gravity. Apparently not.

But, not like it matters, because no one'll figure out the secret to getting Alexi on the battlefield. And Juno's already agreed not to show up again.

It's an entirely pointless theoretical situation anyway. I just thought Alexi would be at least able to stand on the same battlefield as a vassal though, even though in my original post I acknowledged that Alexi would still get instantly annihilated if a vassal actually paid attention to her.

@The 42nd Gecko
AOE attacks appear to be her main weakness, as she relies on martial skill and dodging rather than durability. She'd fare much better against a combat character like Titanica, who's AOE attacks are more limited.

@thewizardguy Titania'd just concept of radiation blast her to death without realizing Alexi was even trying to fight her. I really need to think of a good power someday that I'm skilled enough to use. Till then, Pink's just a +1 to whoever else is fighting.

I'm just disappointed in how poorly every one of my character's powersets has worked out other than Artoria's (who cheated by just copying everyone else). Someday I'll get it right.

A Q&A event will most likely be brought about via a Discord.

¬_¬ why you make me suffer?

@The 42nd Gecko

Juno didn't agree to not show up. She was kicked. It's a whole different story. It won't matter as of now, but she's still present on the RP and can fight back if someone is ever so stupid as to trigger her.

@The 42nd Gecko

From what I've seen each of your characters' powersets have one glaring weakness. Such as Alexi being useless against AOE attacks. She could probably match Khaine in a swordfight despite being physically superior, using martial prowess and her tricks. But the moment someone pulls out an AOE, which almost everyone can, all her abilities are useless. If you want a powerful moveset, you should go with something that covers all the bases, or at least one with a less common weakness.

Some suggestions:
- Kinetic energy absorption and redirection, combined with a basic knowledge of physics
- turning your body into any kind of matter (golem), especially liquid or gaseous
- rearranging atoms to create complex substances in anything touched
- creating 'bubbles' within which you can teleport any object.
- absorbing and redirecting 'damage' to and from others
- controlling (hard)light to create illusions, lasers, and barriers

There's plenty of powersets that can be both creative and powerful. I'd recommend looking at anime like 'Jojo's Bizarre Adventure' for inspiration, although such abilities can be found in nearly any Shonen anime nowadays.

@thewizardguy Hah, funny enough, Miyu had just picked up some of those, but then she got the offer to move to the happy verse, and it wouldn't have made any sense for her to stay.
