Pft Pach :'D Maybe I should give these films a try too ehehe.

Also I lied about waiting for Friday to get the next book *evil cackling while stroking book two* Funny thing is, when buying the first book the cute guy at the bookshop commented on it, and today while getting the second book a cute guy at the Starbucks commented on it. I eagerly await the purchasing of the next twelve books.

I'm downloading that, but not had a chance to play it yet. Metal Slug meets Borderlands I heard? XD

Have a good sleep, Tae! <3

Metal Slug's a good comparison, I haven't played Borderlands so I can't say.

I went to pet the cat good night and he snuck around me and walked around the kitchen for a minute before going back outside. @_@

Edit: Thanks Pach! Have a good day tomorrow, everyone! I have my icky night class, hopefully it goes by fast x_x

Hello!

First, can I say that I really like Lute's little friend and the abilities that gives him. Should be fun to play with.

But I'm a bit confused by this -

but talk to him and you’ll clearly sense that the poor boy’s social skills, or lack thereof, is akin to a fuse which burns out the more a person talks to him in a single setting (it crumbles away faster when they ask him something, yey!) although said fuse tends to be nonexistent when it comes to companions and close friends.


I'm curious to know a little more about this. It seems rather erratic and it threw me for a moment.

I'll have to comment on the CS later haha; not sure how much time I'll need to write this morning, and I don't want to rush through reading/commenting on the CS ^^;

EDIT: POST IS UP GOTTA SKEDADDLE AHHH

@Danni: I interpreted it as, it's exasperating for a person to hold a conversation with him because of his poor social skills. Sort of like, maybe Sai from Naruto?

I think the CS is pretty cool Orpheus, lots of stuff that I've never seen before. I especially like the description of Lute's familiar. And nothing overlaps with any existing characters I don't think, which is obviously a bonus. Some parts confused me a little, but I reread it several times and there's not a whole lot to nitpick as long as he's balanced in terms of skilled he is at Rank G. Depending on the context that the character will be in, perhaps his rank should be a little higher? In my mind, it'd make more sense for a higher-ranked person to have any underworld connections rather than a bottom-rung rookie.

Gotta get ready for school now, just wanted to get that in, haha.

I agree with Tae on everything she's said c: I already mentioned a lot of points in chat, but I like Lute, a lot. I really like the idea of that sound magic, I love unorthodox and surprising powersets so I thought that was really cool. I also like the interaction potential it brings. Amplifying sound could lead to him amplifying Selan's singing to affect more enemies, for example? Or silencing Moira from shouting until he gets pummeled in the face for it. |D

Poor social skills could also be hilarious if characters catch him talking and muttering to his familiar, but being unable to hear the other part of the conversation, they might all think he's a weirdo? |D

I wouldn't mind him being Rank F, perhaps. I suggested G though, because I've not seen Kei's fighting posts enough to be sure how well it's balanced, although I'm sure it is. I think F rank, and being on par with Estelle, Lisette, Syed etc sounds decent (although Rank =/= skill, power etc of course, variety of factors. I'm rambling now).

Have a great day at school, Tae, and good luck with your night class!

I'll be honest with that CS. At first I put it down to reading it on my phone, but looking at it again... I'm struggling to understand it. Like, really struggling. With the whole thing. I've read it about five or six times now and... yeah. I don't really want to judge it when I don't understand it, because I think I'll be judging it harder than I should be. I haven't checked out any samples or anything Orpheus, but is your usual post writing like this?

I wouldn't mind an everyman version to be honest =/ PM me?

I'd like a layman's version as well for clarity's sake, posted here preferably so everyone can weigh in.

I'm super excited to post for Lisette later, haha.

Sorry. I'll make the changes once everybody comments.

- The fuse thing. He's just kind of a ticking time bomb when you get to talk to him, like at first he's fine but there will this certain point in the conversation that Lute will panic and give you a vague or idiotic reply/start to ramble. He gets nervous even faster when that person asks him something. Will remove this part of the CS/replace it with something.

Will pm writing sample from Midnight Train posts ASAP.

Anything else? ^u^

My main concern was his power limitations, but you covered that pretty nicely. I like that he's like Aria in that distance is a major factor. Like Tae said I also like how he doesn't have any overlaps. It's cool have another melee user around; I'm very curious in seeing how his fighting strategy plays out!

I think the confusion here mostly come from the... fluff? I don't know if that's the right word, but it's not as concise and straightforward as what everyone here (incl. myself)'s used to for CSes lol, e.g. since you used "fuse" as a metaphor for his social skills - which I thought was cool actually hahah. It took me some backtracking too (and I'm 205% positive I'm the slowest reader on this entire site), but it's not too difficult to understand haha. That said, I'm personally not concerned over the writing, IC-wise, but maybe a layman's version would be better to understand his character more easily, at least for the CS? Hahaha.
(I apologize if this comes off as frowny or criticizing or something; it's not intended to be so. D: Just thought it was something that should be addressed on my end too since 3/4 replies so far brought it up.)

EDIT EDIT: I had stuff on his rank here too but that was be being a bumhead and misinterpreting stuff. :D This is why I'm not allowed to read fast.

All in all though I find him and his ability really interesting. I could only imagine the possibilities of combo attacks - amplifying Selan's singing like Pacman mentioned, or silencing Trixie's gunshots when she's trying to distract people. (She wouldn't be in the predicament she's in now if she could do her task while hidden and soundless! XD)

:)

EDIT: I'm probably the slowest writer here too since your post wasn't up when I started writing mine, Orpheus. orz

Ah, so the biggest issue here is the Personality part? I don't think that any of you have something against the other parts of the CS (underworld part duly noted, Tae 8D) so it's the only thing I need to change. Everything else will remain as it is? Please tell me if you guys have more comments.

Thank you all. 8D
