[OOC] Fortissimo//Akkord: Seihai Sensō

[Skyswimsky]

@WanderingSpirit So he still sees "everything normal(to an extent)"+coloured stuff? Since you said he turned blind...or was that just for the sake of fluff? Like he doesn't just see a person as a energy source but actually can make out their details(See face, body yadda yadda)? That's still fine, and considering Yggdrasil Seeds can be de/activated at will(Since having them active cost mana) he won't even be too blinded by all those light beacons full of mana.

So as far as I am aware I am missing anything from @Nightwing95, @Crimson Raven and @tatszico? Other people doing stuff I am aware off what they are doing.
Namely Fish of Oblivion who is too busy to join but still serves as my Co. GM.
Magical Gurl Sonata who likes being sneaky.
And Ghost in Black whom I have heated PM conversations with.

If I forgot anybody, I might feel sorry, just say something!

As for first IC post I'll very likely put it up tomorrow, but don't take my word for it.

@Skyswimsky

I'm working on my CS, I have a concept, and now just trying to put it into words.

I should have it done in a few hours. (Although, I have a few things IRL to take care of that might take awhile.)

@Crimson Raven

Take your time, I am still here for a while though busy for the next 3 to 5 hours. If you got anything to discuss with me, considering I hate doing such stuff over posts and PMs, you get your fastest replies from me via Skype.

@Skyswimsky

I would say that he would be able to see the general shape of people as their energy source, with the curves and features of their body along with some more details. But they'd be just that, they'd all look like mannequins to him after that point with varying intensities of their 'glow' as an indication of how much magical resource they have. Other living organisms will have their solid shapes as well but not fine detail like the lines of the leaves or the texture of bark on the trees and similar cases.

If he'd deactivated the seed, it would make him blind again in both senses since he lost his regular sight after having them rewired permanently and now his magical sight making him truly blind. Hopefully, the mana cost perhaps will be manageable or neglectable even as compensation for losing his other sight for this but no doubt there will be moments where he'd have to turn it off. I'd consider his Seed to be a great weapon for him yet his greatest handicap for the tournament.

@Skyswimsky

I don't have a Skype set up 😅

[Skyswimsky]

@WanderingSpirit Well, his seed is more of a powerful utility tool than an actual "super strong ability" or whatever (and makes him more vulnerable to certain things because plot) so it should be okay for him to have his sight most of the time and only under special circumstances(dry on mana) he actually goes blind. You can put your character to the accepted sheets.

[Crimson Raven]

Uh-oh, I hit a snag with my character. Might have to completely ditch the idea I was working on...dammit. Its going to take a little longer.

[KoL]

Ehehehe, why am I not surprised something like this happened?

[TheWendil]

Ehehehe, why am I not surprised something like this happened?

@KoL

Now, now, be nice.

[Skyswimsky]

Felt kinda ill yesterday, but I'm good today. Doing my RP duties and all - which includes getting some more OOC stuff out of the way and IC post!

[Skyswimsky]

@Moonlit Sonata@WanderingSpirit@KoL@Lunaeria@Barioth@LokiLeo789@TheWindel

There we go! A post from your scrub GM! Go wild or something.

@ERode You still gotta post your sheet into the accepted stuff.

For the others, character stuff is still going on.

@WanderingSpirit I'll send you a PM with what your eyes see soon(TM).

Now, I'm gonna say two more things in regards to the rp, so listen up:

If it wasn't obvious enough, death is a thing. Now, players can kill each other, but NPCs can kill players too. Now, I won't just go around and kill any of you because I feel like it. But stupid behaviour gets punished... .

Another thing is, being the inexperienced GM I am and only stealing things, I saw great success with doing something of a sort "personalized" side-plot for the people inside the RP. Meaning, I'll think about some plot that is more personally tied to each of your characters that can go alongside the overall plot. Now, of course, I'd ask for permissions and PM you before I do anything. On the same end if you have ideas of your own or don't want to have anything in that regards please tell me in PM also.

Edit: Also opening up for recruitment again cuz someone already dropped out ;A;

EDIT2: Also there are obviously more people than just the player-characters inside the room. A whole lot more. Faceless and non-faceless NPCs which get introduced when the time is right :3c.

[Barioth]

Awww yiss

[Crimson Raven]

🤗 yay, IC!

Also, CS is in PMs, awating approval.

[Skyswimsky]

All the delicious posts! Guess I get a sort-of-reply up soon for those nagging the Voice of Change, not sure if I can manage today thou, but def. by tomorrow! As for the loners, despite it being kind-of-open-world-ish(which is intended), I guess I can try and throw you a bone for at least some amusement!

I don't mind when the four hours are up, I suppose it can end by the time everybody leaves the "party".

@The ghost in black I never accepted your character yet so please don't just go ahead and post it inside the character tabs. Just because I haven't answered your PM - while writing replies for other roleplays here and there - doesn't mean I totally forgot about you or something! Anyways, your character is fine. The only thing I'd def. want you to change is how you keep differencing between Runes and Magic, they are the same thing, as the OOC should hopefully tell you. So just call them either the one thing or the other, and you're good to go.

@The ghost in black@Crimson Raven I just wanna emphasis again that I want you both to take care of your grammar. To be honest, regardless of the content, the way you two first presented your sheets at me I would have just declined them solely because of all the mistakes present. I was, and still am, generally rather lax on my requirements for this roleplay but if I see constant unsatisfying results, I have no problem booting you. This isn't meant to be rude in any way, nor do I only refer to grammar, just a fair warning.

[The ghost in black]

@Skyswimsky
Sorry, I fixed the typos and cleared it up a bit. I'll have a post up by tonight, again sorry.

[Crimson Raven]

All right, CS up, going to the IC to post.

[Crimson Raven]

@Skyswimsky

I don't mean to be pushy, but this is the point where a lot of Roleplays die.

We need the GM on almost constantly to keep stuff rolling, otherwise, people lose interest, and just stop posting.

[Barioth]

@Crimson Raven I wouldn't worry too much, the RP is only just beginning and a few people have yet to put their first posts up. I could be wrong, but I don't believe interest is being lost yet. This might just be the general pace the RP will go in general, which in my opinion is fine, if that is way it is.

[Moonlit Sonata]

Yeah, no need for doomsaying just yet.

[Skyswimsky]

@Crimson Raven Not sure what your problem is or what pace you expected. In regards to the OOC, I am quite happy there isn't too much "random chatter" going on, saves me from being obliged to read all of it just to find the important stuff. As for the IC, I mentioned in the interest check I am going for something like 2-3 posts a week but, given the open-world-ish kind of thing it has going on, you're obviously free to post more between each other(Not to mention depending on the circumstances I'll post more too).

I mentioned yesterday I post either yesterday or today. I have been not too well the past few days, and I am still not, not to mention Tuesday is busy day, but I'll still get a reply out today. Said reply, however, just includes a general response from The Voice of Change, not sure if you expected anything other. While it's true that I don't have too much experience in GMing and pacing can be a bitch, I think the more open-world attempt for this one is the right way.
