[OOC] The War of the Three

[Lmpkio]

@Lmpkio

So is Mephilius ignoring Helena's voice that should be reaching everyone in the Nexus right now?

@TheWindel

Didn't recognize that. No matter, I can add it in.

@LHudson

I'm all for understanding when people lack something to play off of, but can you really not do more then two or three sentences? It's an appealingly succinct post and considering you put Flos in the prison cell of your own volition I can't sympathize with being shunted into a narrative corner.

And seeing as you have poked around in Advanced RPs who maintain a trend of monstrous post lengths measured in pages, not paragraphs, I don't feel like it's that much a thing to ask for something meatier to read through. We'd rather people sleep on a post then belch it out in the time it takes to microwave a burrito just for the sake of getting something out.

@Silvan Haven

I'll look at your character in detail tomorrow. Nevertheless, @TheWindel's considerations are valid points. You could format that backstory a bit better. We are not saying to shorten it, actually I like the dedication you have put on this character. It's just that the way it's presented feels a bit "1st draft-y", if you get what I mean.

@Lmpkio

It's not the first time I (and others around here) say that but let me remind you again. Please, pay attention to others' posts before doing your own. A slip every now and then is a thing, doing it every time warrants more attention from you.

@LHudson

You could very well do as Lmpkio and pay more attention. Also, please aim to make your posts meet the standards of this RP. At least one, preferably two, decent paragraphs per post, instead of the nigh one liners you are doing would be ideal. I'm sure that you can do better than this.

@KoL

Of course. Like I said, my apologizes. Just had a longish day that's all.

@Lmpkio

No problem. Just try to pay more attention from now on.

[TheWendil]

So who is actually taking Helena's offer and leaving the Nexus. Depending on numbers, it might mean you get that Slice of Life deal after all.

@TheWindel

None of my characters unfortunately...

Mephilius mentally said no (Real reason: He's a pretty new character and has only fought in one battle... which was kinda tampered by Artoria).

Zeruel has too much pride over Heaven to do such a thing (Real Reason: He simply won't fit).

Tina and Karizawa won't either. (Real Reason: Obvious)

And Ghelgath... hasn't received much love yet... although then again, its been proven that his crush devotion to Rufus is heavily unrequited so he could quit... but then again, egh idk. If I have to send anyone out (I know its not mandatory but fuck it) it may be him, although it depends on who else leaves other then Miyu. Otherwise, Ill still have him stay.

[Lmpkio]

@Awesomoman64 Btw, where's Barlog?

@Awesomoman64 Btw, where's Barlog?

@Lmpkio

I've actually had this written in my post template for some time now:

Balrog

Meanwhile, Balrog was… I don't know. Having a skull crushing contest with some other demons. What? The guy has the strength of Atlas but the IQ and attention span of a toddler. Not sure what else he'd do in his free time.

[The 42nd Gecko]

I think we're looking at for leaving:

Miyu: Definitely leaving.

Beast: For a moment was gonna leave with Miyu, but then seemed to instead want to team up with Fran.

Lillian: Considering leaving if enough people do.

Gelgath: Considering leaving if enough people do.

Abigail and Bonesword: Seem to be under the impression that they will somehow be unwelcome/will end up somewhere horrible. This really is the get out of jail free card.. But ok. I mean, Miyu could even do mental networking to let them both know they can both take it and know the other person is also taking the deal.

I really wonder if Zak would care the slightest about the war, and whether he'd wanna skip out. I think he's already had enough of Harley. Kinda hoping he does cause I liked Miyu and Zac's conversation, short as it was.

@TheWindel@KoL

Can't say you guys are wrong. I was going for general overview but when I do that it tends to get a bit vague and whispy. I'll work on firming it up.

Any specific parts sprang out at you as particularly bad?

As far as A Glimpse of Truth goes. If he were facing a machina it would let him know weak points, strong points, what weapons in view were capable of. Stuff like that.

It's less a supernatural power and more an instinctual knowledge of how stuff works so it only works on stuff he can detect. He might be able to deduce the location of a hidden weapon but he wouldn't know what that weapon is without seeing it or extrapolating from nearby systems.

It also helps him do magic by helping figure out what is needed to get a desired result. Doesn't mean he can automatically do every spell though. You might know how to do a backflip but that doesn't mean you can do one. It takes practice.

Beast: For a moment was gonna leave with Miyu, but then seemed to instead want to team up with Fran.

@The 42nd Gecko

Correction: He'll turn back into an egg and wait until someone finds him again. So it can be Fran... it can be not. It depends.

@Silvan Haven

Not really bad, but maybe explain what Dinas Affaraon is. I kind of figured it was the name of his home world but making it more obvious helps as well.

@Silvan Haven

I see. Just so long as you note that whenever he takes a look at some of the more abstract characters, like Helena for example, there be some setbacks in doing so. For example, Helena is an eldritch creature and while he can take the time to observe her and see what makes her tick, looking at an eldritch anything for too long is prone to put some mental strain. Other than that, it's fine by me.

[Inner Demon]

@The 42nd Gecko@LmpkioYeah we'll have to see about Beast. Maybe Fran will find a way to turn human or angel. XD

Zak, might care about anything if he's got something to gain from it. So far all he has is a robot head which may or may not prove to be useless since robots don't really submit to interrogation, the fancy sniper rifle, and a bunch of sass from Harley. Not really what I would call spoils of war. Zak is supposed to be a hurricane when dropped into a conflict, causing chaos on both sides by scampering around like some kind of madman, flipping every switch and pressing every button until he manages to to get his hands on whatever he is currently after, pissing off any enemies and some allies along the way. Gonna need more of a reason to fight other than for the sake of fighting to bring him into the battle.

[TheWendil]

@Inner Demon

Said robot is also gone from the RP.

[Inner Demon]

@TheWindelMaybe I can just absorb his character and use his head like a witty sidekick. I do kinda immagine him sounding like Watson....Zak could call him Watt-son =D Get it!? WATT son... XD

Or maybe just call him Handles

[TheWendil]

Or maybe just call him Handles

@Inner Demon

Are you trying to appease me?

Because it's somewhat working.

[Inner Demon]

@TheWindelWho knows. Maybe when you're appeased, Harley will magically appear with a mission Zak will think is worth doing. ;D
