@13org

I will be doing the normal update several hours from now and if no one will ask for Bast, will he be going with Selune's Jezamine since she's allowing anyone to join her?

So here's a thought: why do people think MGE's Ogres are any sort of mage? Because I'm about 1000% certain they aren't, seeing as their page entry explicitly says they're violently physical when it comes to raping human men, but we've had two Ogrish characters so far who have some explicit relation to magic... even if the relationship for one is "eats magic", but even then.

Considering both those ogres are my characters, lemme give ya my two cents:

First one is a half-ogre, as I wanted to create an orc but orcs in this realm aren't greenskins. She's suppose to be a shaman like character and just happened to grow up mostly around human mages, so in this instance it's more of a lifestyle for her than her brand of ogres being magically inclined. If Ryla ever returned to her ogre clan she'd find that only the clan shaman has any interest/ability in magic, while everyone else is your average ogre.

Second one, as you said, is more of a magic eater than a mage herself. In this instance her thing about magic is more related to her specific clan of ogres rather than ogres in general, since I'd assume that there are many ogre clans around the world and each one have their own history and culture (Beyond violence and raping men of course). They hate magic because a sorcerer used magic to control them, and after they overthrew the mage they intentionally went out of their way to make sure something like that can't happen again. Not by studying magic and learning how it works, but just being immune to it so next time some wizard thinks he can try to get a clan of ogres as his servants, he'll just get clobbered for his troubles.

Now you may think Ogres can't do anything but rape and pillage, and I'll concede that there isn't really any evidence that they don't do anything but that. But at the same time everything evolves over time or else they die off; ogres may be naturally strong enough to break stones with their fists, but even they would pick up a weapon just to make the stone breaking easier. And sure they may be tougher than most mortals, but arrows hurt, so sometimes they will try to make armor. For Sheolred, her clan faced a similar thing but with magic instead of arrows, and magic resistance was their armor. For Ryla it's less because she's an ogre and more because she grew up among humans, and learned their human crafts. She just happened to be a half-ogre mostly to explain why I used a cute flat-chested orc girl as my character image.

@Lucius Cypher ...alright. Those are well-considered arguments. And in fairness, I perhaps shouldn't be debating what does and does not have canon potential when I've given my character the ability to basically turn monster souls into human souls through DIVINE SPIRIT or what have you.

While understandably, one must always differ to canon when crafting a culture, I prefer using canon as a foundation rather than a mold. Regardless of their methods and crafts, Ryla and Sheolred are both still very aggressive and confrontational, as all ogres are. They will take what they want with force and violence, be it magically or physically implemented. And while Sheolred may have very little interest in men, highly atypical of ogres, she gets her willies off of assaulting beautiful, strong, and/or young women, so it's not as if she is completely different. Sheolred just has a slightly altered focus. Rlya herself is also interested in men, however she has very fine taste for an ogre and won't simply accept any old guy she could easily capture; she wants a real prize, not scraps.

I'd only question if someone is breaking canon if it's really bizarre, like vampires who not only walk freely in the daylight, but also turns into giant furry lupine creatures, shoots dark energies out of their fingertips, can multiply into different copies of themselves, and can resurrect by making their spirit possess a corpse that shifts and alters into their original form. I wish I could say that was a made up example, but that's more or less what someone else thought vampires could do in a different RP I was in. "It's not overpowered, that's just how all vampires are" my arse. Having a weakness towards silver or holy objects isn't nearly as much of a deal breaker when you've already stomped out most of human civilization (Thus not many worshippers) and the silver thing only matters when they're weapons. Apparently you can use silverware just fine. Bleh.

@Lucius Cypher Seems reasonable. I know vampires are similar to that in SOME fictions, but certainly not in MGE, so yes, there would be limits to how canon can be manipulated. Clearly, neither of us cross those, and arguably, Mark would be closer to doing so.

Eh, I think the biggest, if not always the first, rule of any RP is to have fun. And so long as your fun doesn't come at the cost of anyone elses fun, what you do in an RP ultimately doesn't matter. Just enjoy yourself.

Hey guys, so my freedom days have ended so my update schedule will strictly be Fridays and Sundays (unless noted otherwise).

Thank you guys again for making this last this long and I hope we will all reach the end of this story.

-------

@The Irish Tree, @13org

Just popping in and saying that @GoddessOfNature is working on her post. So just sit tight, okay?

@BCTheEntity, @Lady Selune

I know there are problems on your end but I wish to know if you two have picked a request yet. So that if the time comes, we can just skip ahead and not let you guys fall behind.

@PaulHaynek I'm not entirely sure yet, but I imagine the Fetch Quest might be interesting for Mark just because it sounds a bit sketchy. I may also be completely mistaken on a meta level, and Selune may want Syszi to stick with Mark rather than having them split up, but nonetheless.

If @GoddessOfNature doesn't post by Friday (Thursday for you probably), I shall be assuming command of @The Irish Tree's and @13org's characters so as not to hold them up too much.

Their current mission will be abandoned though since that is not my mission to direct. Instead, they'll get a similar but funnier (and probably weirder) mission.

You're fine.

Although Mark's gone with a quest now and I'm kind of waiting what Syzi will be doing.
