@AbandonedIntel Agh that's so weird. I checked it right before I posted, and it was fine. Give me just a sec to fix it.

EDIT: It should be good now.

I'm getting to work on Fenrir. How I currently see this character playing out is something like the Incredible Hulk. Useful and means well, but he's something of a rogue operative. Tends to act alone and is difficult to track down, as he (quite rightly) believes himself to be a danger to others.

Here is Light. Need to find an artist to commission a picture from and ideas for a theme song, toehr than that shes all done.

Description is fairly accuriate though. her design isn't very complex.

TDLR: she doesn't.

Which means have fun with any kind of torture porn you want with her if you get a hold of her. Actually quite a bit worse that she can't die tbh.

The problem is, is that toons kinda... don't die. Thats like one of the main staples of toondum.

I will drop this roleplay if this character goes through. No offense to you or the character, but I ain't messing with it.

Can't think outside of the box of 'kill it'? Its honestly not hard at all to deal with her.

Personally, I don't really have much issue with the character, it's not like we're going to be fighting against them, and there's superheroes who are more overpowered, certainly. There's reasonable enough weakness that the character has, after all she seems relatively easy to bind/incapacitate, which I would say makes up for the fact that they can't die.

The only sort of way I could see the character 'dying' was if they could be forced out of the physical realm for a period of time, more of a temporary death.

That's just my two cents on it though, up to Intel at the end of the day.

While I won't take as dramatic a reaction, I am not enthusiastic about this character, either. In my experience (and I've said this before), joke characters are trite and awful to work with. The people that play them are 99% of the time not as funny as they think they are, and it's the rest of the players that suffer for it.

Oh no I understand, but I join superhero roleplays for more serious storylines, even comedic relief characters like Deadpool whom can't die either, deal with serious subjects and the like. A toon just makes fun of the entire concept in general, in my opinion (feel free to disagree), and is not something I ever wish to roleplay with. Roger Rabbit makes me freakishly uncomfortable, and so does that character, and I have no desire roleplaying with it.

Edit: It's not the OPness that bothers me, it's the sheer awkwardness.

Ah ok. You understand the weaknesses very well. Shame your not going to see how I play her, she isn't nearly as over the top as Deadpool. Think... I dunno... Sans from Undertale or a toned down Peacock from Skullgirls.

Those characters can die and deal with really dark themes. Your character does neither.

Edit: Once again, this is just my opinion, I have no rights in this matter. I just won't play with it unless it has more substance than just "Toon character and Eldritch abominations blah blah blah."

It just sounds like you can't handle some equilibrium. Dark stuff needs comedy to contrast the dark and enhance it, otherwise you just get super boring things. Imagine Batman TAS for example, or Adventure time, or Steven Universe. They have their dark and their comedic. Sure the latter two are more lighthearted, but if we do batman TAS for example, they still had comedy all the time. Mostly joker stuff, but it was still comedy. Heck, did you see all the innuendos that Harley was involved in?

Have you been in lots of RPS where someone did a comedic character and didn't keep it in the confines or tone of the RP? It can be done and done well, but you'll never see if it you don't give people a chance :P.

Counterpoint: if a cartoon clown hit Marv in the face with a cream pie, Sin City's tone would be ruined. Same goes for Watchmen. The "equilibrium" you're talking about is present to keep younger audiences' attention in children's entertainment.

I've been in about a half dozen, and it was terrible every time. You were in a few, if I'm recalling correctly.

I'm not going to argue any more. I'm leaving if the character goes through without some kind of death that can be achieved. Our characters are supposed to start out lower tier with room to grow, and your character doesn't have that. I'm not going to play with it, end of discussion. I'm not flooding this thread with any more debating.

Jeezus fuck guys can you all please calm your tits? I'm on my phone now and I can't bring reason to this just yet. But please do me a favor and look beyond just 1 character or just 1 trait. We have all kinds of characters here.

Here, I'm gonna bring a solution to the table. How about @Archmage MC makes a serious character and allows Light to play as secondary comic reluef, but can post as primary serious character during serious scenes?

Again, that's A solution, not THE solution. I'll be back soon to help settle things.

(Jumping in again, hi)

I kind of see where you guys are all coming from with this.

I can understand the point Dead and Frozen are making, there are certain cases where a character like this can ruin things, or more of an overall feel, a character cracking jokes, doing dumb sorts of things or just generally being comic relief at the wrong times, or constantly, can be irritating and generally not too fun to role play with.

At the same time, I don't really think we've seen enough (or at least, I haven't seen enough) about or surrounding Light to really make a judgement over whether or not the character is like that. Personally, i've seen more comedic characters role played in this sort of environment really well, if the character has the capacity to step up and put on at least a serious face when it matters, then in my opinion it generally works, and so far I haven't seen anything to say Light can't do that.

I sort of misunderstood before what you guys were arguing about so, my bad there, but I respect all your guys views here, I think it'd be a shame to hold a character back or deny them on an assumption of bad things to come or bad intention, but ultimately if you guys just don't want to rp with that sort of character just in case, that's totally well-founded as well.

I'm just going to wait for Intel's decision though, I just like adding my two cents.

Edit: Intel's suggestion is pretty fair, i'd say.
