What exactly are the different targets like? How big/thick are they? What are they made of?

How quickly should Kohra expect herself to run out of mana? Not being familiar with the manga, I have no idea how much power Kohra can put out before running out of mana.

What are magic bullets?


1. Like a 1 foot wide, 1 foot long, 1 inch thick square, made of stone, with a glowing bullseye on 'em.

2. There's not like a hard and fast MP system; generally, when someone has spent a lot of mana it's equivalent to physical exercise. If you're "tapped out," you're breathing hard, sweating, feeling dizzy, all that kinda stuff. So just sort of think about how much "magical effort" you imagine Kohra expending per spell and describe things accordingly. I mean, Players are expected to be able to pass the exam, lol, so even if you're making it hard on her I don't think she'd pass out after the first events.

3. Magic Bullets are like your "default" spell, just a ball of magical energy that can be fired offensively. Like a generic ki blast in Dragon Ball Z, or like Magic Missile in DnD if it was a cantrip instead of a leveled spell. It can have qualities of the element or just be generic "mana." Again, depending on the amount of mana and the skill of the user, though, some people can "shoot harder" than others. I think there was one throwaway guy in the manga who didn't have a lot of flashy spells, but had mastered Magic Bullet well enough to use it like a sniper rifle.

There we be, Camilla's first part of the exam is complete. I apologize for any spelling, grammar or other text-butchery or fuck-ups that you may read.

EDIT:


Whoops, missed a bit in my TL;DR, but it's added now.

EDIT 2:


Oh, and if I somehow screwed something up with how the exam is meant to be taken, or how it worked, please let me know.

EDIT 3:


Gwaah, fixed some BBCode too.

Fun excersise, though I don't think I'll partake in it. Don't wanna risk making commentary or forming opinions on characters with my toon outside the IC. Never know if it'll spill over and lead to unintentional meta-gaming.

Poor Milla, she doesn't even get sympathy for surving through her entire family and household being massacred. That Hikari such a heroic guy~ ;)

I do enjoy Hikari's hypocrisy when commenting on Kreszenz. Just goes to show that Camilla's opinion on the ambitious is correct. 8D


The hero who goes around saying he's going to 'purge' this world she would definitely get sympathy in a real interaction though

Yup, definitely a look in the mirror moment. Glad someone picked up on that.

@ExplloI like that exercise, I've done similar things in the past as well as participated in some RPs where there were New Vegas-like "Reputations" between different characters and factions. Might do something for Tristan once he's actually met everyone, showing his first impressions without the narrative to hide his "real" thoughts, lol.


Funny enough, that's where I started doing it. I was in a Fallout RP before Guildfall (if anyone remembers that) and it took off from there.

Heh, fun to see this arrogant bastard's (read fondly) thoughts. Good luck to him on convincing the cast to follow him, I guess :p


Less follow him, more of let me help you help me. But yes, very arrogant and would be narcissistic if he didn't have insecurities.

Anyway, enough OOC clutter from me. I'll have an IC post tomorrow or the following day. This should be fun.

Quick question. Are our characters taking turns like they're called by their numbers? And how exactly do spells work? Do spells just have a fixed amount of power or can you adjust it as long it meets or exceeds the baseline?

@Remram You don't have to wait in "post order" to match your number or anything, just treat this like a sort of montage jumping between different characters. It's just, "How does your character perform each test? What's going through their head?" Etc.

Spells work like most special powers in anime. People shout out things like "Wind Magic: Whirling Dervish!" or "Cyclone Spear!" and then destructive stuff happens. I would assume based on what's seen in series that spells require a minimum expenditure of mana in many cases (can't cast them if you get below that threshold) but that pouring more Mana in it makes it bigger, more destructive, faster, etc.

EDIT:

After all, the majority of everyone at the exam are hormone-addled teens or young adults. I'm sure thirst is pretty high on their overall day-to-day configuration. xD

Yeah, it's pretty busy for me right now with 4th of July and everything. I'm disabled but do Instacart to supplement my income, and this week is prime time to get a lot of good batches. I'll try and get Kohra posted by Friday.

This is probably the best time of year to Instacart. Everybody wants everything, nobody wants to go out especially if it's as hot as it is here in Chicago.
