Is this not how humans show affection?

Terrifying and nerve wrecking. Just found the balls bravery to join a second RP and and possibly a third. I'm dripping adrenaline right now.

So my weekend is pretty chill.

@Witch Cat

Just remember not everyone tolerates shitposting. some people will straight up kick you for it.

[Wraithblade6]

I have no idea what a shitpost is.

[Polyphemus]

I have no idea what a shitpost is.

@Wraithblade6

Generally speaking, a post that's meant solely as a joke or banter rather than an actual contribution.

[Wraithblade6]

@Polyphemus Ah.

(does this count?)

[Polyphemus]

I wouldn't say so.

Hi.

Is it possible to be a spooky ghostie in this?

A temporal body stuck between this world and the next allowing this person to affect the physical world and the after world but only in limited ways due to the conflict of being stuck between both worlds? This character could serve by communicating with the dead or scouting ahead for potential dangers, tracking people unseen, etc...

A potential explanation of this type of ghost could be necromancy mistake or a seance gone wrong, maybe.

It could be super interesting, maybe. But it is up to you guys, I guess.

[BayRat]

I'll make my post soon

[Wraithblade6]

@Pirouette I'm personally ok with it.

@Pirouette

While I think it'd be an interesting character it doesn't really fit the RPG's main purpose. First and foremost it is about the study of magic and use of the knowledge. If you were a ghost I'd consider you to no longer have normal magical abilities meaning you couldn't be an ologist. You'd just have ghost abilities. Something about it just doesn't feel right for the grand scheme of things. While I admit things are light right now on the "science of magic" it'll be fairly important to the larger overarching story. The way i have this planned is story arc, free roam, story arc, free roam, etc. The whole time over though hints to a larger story that very heavily deals with the scientific study of magic.

I suppose if you could sell me on how a ghost still fits into that aspect I'd be willing to listen. For now it just seems that a ghost doesn't work well when the focus shifts to ologists and the studies of magic.

[Witch Cat]

Woo, more people!

@jasonwolf

The best I can try to sell you on it is if my character was a necromancer or arcanist whose skilled in the art but took too many risks and ended up dead essentially. So my character would be more of a knowledge base instead of a practicum base, but that was mentioned previously. So I guess I won't.

Woo, more people!

@Witch Cat

Sorry, hun, doesn't sound like I'll end up joining.

[fdeviant]

I'll try to have a reply up before the end of the day.

[Wraithblade6]

We have really slowed down. WHy?

[Polyphemus]

There's always a "honeymoon period" with roleplays.

[Witch Cat]

@Polyphemus

Except this slow period isn't as exciting or fun. Hopefully people will get more active later on, but what we need now is patience.

[fdeviant]

Sorry for the silence. I'm on a mini holiday and I haven't had time to spend on a post but one is coming. We won't let this die!

[jasonwolf]

@Witch Catthe start is the honeymoon period. The slow is after.

@fdevianti know that feeling. Take breaks as you get them.

[Wraithblade6]

@jasonwolf Damnit. That was cheap. :P Now I have to go back and read everything everyone posted in the other group just to figure out wth happened on their end. Not cool.

[jasonwolf]

@Wraithblade6TBH Jaklo told you to call the investigations team in the first place. I saved you 4 posts of writing to get that info.
