@Blazion Unsure. "I'm going to keep you on our porch until you give me a thesis dissertation" isn't giving me a lot to work with.

@Dead Cruiser Alright, well let's start with this. What was your end goal with this scene and what were you expecting? I can try editing a bit.

I suppose I was expecting something more confrontational.

No need to edit, really. We can always substitute in my favorite writing trick: if you don't know how to progress a scene, have someone burst in with a gun.

Or we can have aliens attack or something. Up to you, all the same to me.

I'm still working on a second character. I know I want to do something more magic, but my current two concepts are a chaos space wizard, or a magic pharaoh disguised as a rap star.

Oh, wow! A famous song artist who is secretly a mage? That's brilliant! I can't believe I didn't think of that first!

@Blackstripe I mean this would be a rework of the first character I put on NuGuild about 5 years ago, but go off.

@BlackstripeYes...? Anyway it would only be a conflict because "musician that's secretly magic" almost completely encapsulates Karen's chatacter. Mine would have quite a lot going on comparatively.

But if it concerns you that much I can focus on the other idea.

@Dead Cruiser Well, if yours has so much going on comparatively, then I'm sure it would do them no disservice to have a unique base premise!

It is, after all, a rule not to use concepts other people have already taken.

@Blackstripe My point was that my character only sounds smiliar if you're being reductive. As I'm really not planning him doing any performing IC he would be more like "hip hop celebrity who is secretly a demigod pharaoh from thousands of years in the past." That's about as different as I can make it without tearing out the foundation of the idea, which I don't think is as reasonable a suggestion as you might think.

@DC The Dragon It's actually my firm intention to have an interesting antagonist for the younger characters. So Virgil could end up seeing my character roll up with his posse, be like "Damn this dude is a has-been, his music sucks and his fashion line is ugly," and then turn around and he's 10 feet tall, made of solid gold, and has scarabs pouring out of his eyes and mouth.

Going to work on the tail end of being sick has made me exhausted every day. I'll try and get a post up tonight, but barring that I have a half day tomorrow and can definitely do it then.

Yo okay there we go @Unknown100, my bad for taking so long I just thought about my character and figured I'd probably be better served changing before starting for reasons. Should be smooth sailing from here on out.

Howdy, I saw this was active and open to newcomers, so color me interested. I uh, do have a question, since while I haven't looked through the CS tab, I did read the entire OOC thread over the course of the past hour, and while I saw Grim, I was uh wondering if it would be alright to do a concept I've been toying with as of late. Draws from existing work of mine, just tweaked for a series I'm in the process of writing.

Fair warning, if this seems awkward phrasing wise, I keep rewriting and trying to reword my idea, and well, yeah. I'm a shy writer and historian, and I get nervous easily.

Basically, the concept is that a space dragon whose people could take on human form, is adrift on her space ship after her last failed attempt to fly home resulted in significant damage to her home away from home. Isn't from this universe, her last attempt stranded her in the universe, and also if she wasn't already cut off from the source of her kind's power, she is now. And thus has to rely on what her body can produce to keep going. May or may not have technomancy for her main gimmick, not that it does her much good on a space ship that's barely running on fumes.

...Okay so uh yeah, world orphaned dragon woman who's adrift in space, is probably low-key depressed, but who is a good soul. If prone to aggressive behavior due to issues with opening up. If the idea of an alien from a different universe is not okay, I understand, it was just the first idea I felt might work, I have others I can try. I suppose the option of having her be from this universe is doable, but it would just require me reworking things accordingly.

Sorry for the text wall of stuff, this was much longer than intended, and well, yeah. Its also late on my end, and I'm ill, so yay.

@DocRock Hello friend welcome to the thread, and no worries we like talking. So Blackstripe is possibly asleep for the night, and since it's their thread the key acceptance will be from them. However, I do have a few questions for clarity.

First and simplest, how big is my new dragon friend? Traditional? World eater?

Second, what sort of abilities were you looking at? We have aliens so that's no problem- I even have an alien shapeshifter myself - but the universe part might be the only issue. Easily fixed if though if necessary - there's a lot of space to explore.

Thanks, I figured the GM would either be busy or asleep, since its really late, lol. Thanks again though.

Traditional in her dragon form, but she won't enter it for plot reasons(lacks knowledge, plus too straining). So she has a human form that she's used to, and looks nice(I lack fan art since my funding for commissions is small)

Well, aside from her kind's innate magic that's a lot weaker due to being in a universe without a connection to the source of her kind's power(ironically the verse the magic is based on is akin to the Order side, if prone to getting messy in high amounts), I really was just looking at what her prime incarnation has going for them as their big thing, which is technomancy, or technology manipulation. Or as its in my notes "Machinecraft." And while nice, is kinda useless if your space ship is out of parts to repair multiple failing systems. And even more useless in worlds where the only piece of tech is your ship, and your suit plus whatever can be assembled from accessible materials.

Sorry if that all was confusing, but hope it helps. I myself should be on for another hour, but if ease of communication is needed, I can join the Discord, was planning to, but I get spooked easily and stage fright is...not fun.
