@PerfectThought Cleaners need a blessed weapon, magic, or a relic so make mention of one of those.

Hmm, would it be okay to have a character who's originally born in one of the inner districts, but ended up working in the 10th later on? Death of wealthy parents and the loss of her own wealth, a rank that allows her to travel or some other reason? If not, I can definitely have her be born in the 10th as well.

Rank II cleaners and above can travel between districts (at least temporarily), so that's fine. Primarily, it's civilians that can't go between.

Generally, each district requires you to buy a citizenship unless you're born there, cleaner exemption withstanding. Most people won't be able to afford it.

You can go either way. Buying a 10th district citizenship (not worth much), being connected in politics, cleaner rank travel, etc.

Made his weaponry blessed and gave him a little relic. If you can't tell, he's intended to somewhat play the role of a combat medic, also I think the variety of a tech-based character compared to the other magic user characters might be interesting. B)

@PerfectThought He's fine to put in the CS tab. Just be mindful of your writing since there's fragments and such that actually make it a bit difficult for me to parse things out.

I'm sorry. Could you possibly provide an example so I can sort the issue out? Rereading my text I'm not really sure what you're referring to, but that might just be because I understand what I'm on about haha.

I don't really police writing (god knows how much schlock I've sent erode over the years), but here's my honest thoughts. A lot of it is subjective and whatever since my personal take is readability first (I'm not going to submit collaborative writing to my spirit of James Joyce antics).

RPG doesn't let me annotate things, so you'll have to deal with me speaking in generalities and highlighting specific things deep at 4AM.

Paragraph length is pretty huge. One of the things to keep in mind is that line length is about 1.5x the length of a book. Because of the length, it's even easier to lose one's place in vertically dense paragraphs. I'm not really one for being a stickler for convention. I'm a firm believer of putting prescriptivists in their place. However, when they say that paragraphs should be ~150 words max, this is for readability reasons.

For a quick primer, compare these two for their readability:





It's not perfect since I'm pretty much just adding in line breaks to something I didn't write, but using bold and adding linebreaks makes things much easier to read. I didn't really bring this up initially because it comes up less often in posts.

When I say fragments and the like, I mean in a way that the sentence construction makes things difficult to read. Some sentences feel like incomplete thoughts, some are written in a way that make them feel bloated. I'm just going to go down sentences line by line.



Also this came up when I was doing a post audit: "its" is the possessive, "it's" is a contraction for it is. It's a curse when you learn this because you start reading stuff as "the earth and it is people" and the like.




This post got out of hand pretty quick. I'm not the best at identifying and rationalizing things beyond "it looks strange to me" so it probably has a few mistakes in my critique (plus I wrote it deep in the AM while watching my friends play Dork and Dorker).

@Vertigo I love Emma. You can put her and her friend(s?) in the character tab.

Also yea, IC probably some time Sunday (within 28 or so hours) since I need to finish some last coursework.

Heh.

Yasu and Emma, never alone because of their magic, but also in entirely different trajectories.

IC is up. Main goal is to introduce your characters, establish anything beforehand, and ask questions about the job you're about to perform.

Despite all those questions I asked in the interest thread to get this to connect for me, I haven't been able to come up with a character, so I'm afraid I'll have to pass.
