[OOC] Shattered Fates - A Dark Fantasy, Boss Battling Epic

[RyuShura]

@erode Yes, it only unlocks only one ability, though this one will evolve and become much greater than what it might start out as. Think of it as a signature ability. The rest is, precise and on the dot, general stuff that will supplement your play-style.

[Jerkchicken]

Yeah so I wondering about the rankings and what they mean, like I can tell that like if you're average in a stat and the other guy has demi-god rank you're gonna be outclassed. But what are the parameters you're imagining with these ranks?

So with strength as an easy example since lifting heavy things is simple and quantifiable, what do you mean by average? Do you mean like any random person on the street or more like someone who's reasonably in shape but not trained in weight lifting? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mariusz_Pudzian… Would this guy be ranked as abnormal strength?

Now with something with endurance and dex what would be their benchmarks at the various levels? They're a bit more complex as they're measuring two things, twitch & move speed for dex and stamina and tankiness for endurance.

[ERode]

_{This is why you don't do stat systems.}

[Jerkchicken]

Stats are fine, the issue is that simple rankings aren't enough, you should have some sort of example or explanation to keep everyone on the same page.

Because while god is lower than high god, it's way to vague in telling you how are they different.

[RyuShura]

@Jerkchicken You're simply looking too far out at something that might not even happen.

I was actually deliberating putting down like very specifics in quantifying the tiers within the system, like listing weight capacities and top speeds, but quickly opted out of it. The reason being, because I simply didn't see the fun in it. Myself or any of my players. The tier names themselves aren't even thought out more than a minute. I figured we haven't even gotten to that part yet, so why bother. There just isn't a need to bombard people with so much extraneous information when it isn't really relevant at this point. There is a progression, and that's all that matters. We're here to fight EPIC things, and we need a quantifier for HOW we do it. A guideline for action scenes. That is all the stats are meant to serve. Things might reach a point where two 'Elder Gods' clash and destroy whole universes, sending the cosmos into a supernova of oblivion. And it might not.

Once we get there, if we get there, we'll jump over the hurdles together.

Right now, you are either average human or you are quite frail. That is all you need to worry about. Average does not mean pulling random people on the street either. That is not how you calculate averages. It is the AVERAGE of a certain context or data, in this case being the human race. Which, I know, is still quite vague. But now we're just walking on semantics.

I'm sure if something weird comes up in the RP we can talk it over.

[kagethekiller]

I'm glad I made my Char loyal to Nera lol, from reading posts it seems like when some ppl reach Godhood she's gonna need some back up, fucking heathens.

[Rune_Alchemist]

Hey, to be fair Isabella's just being cautions. She doesn't trust Nera, but that doesn't mean she's gonna go around killing her for giggles.

[Jerkchicken]

So what are your character's theme song/hype music?

[ERode]

Personally got a few themes saved up, but I'm not busting them out till real big shits get shat. Doesn't make sense for normie plebs to have good themes, after all.

Who're we waiting on now anyways?

[RyuShura]

We're waiting on Eklispe at this point, that's all. I'm debating on writing out a reaction to each character in my post, but then it'd be too long. Or to just skip that. But then it won't make any sense... ahh... just kms. Sudoku time.

EDIT: Also, is this a bug? The counter at the bottom shows an unusually high number. "21 Guests viewing this page" :thinking:

[Eklispe]

Sorry for holding you up, hope the wait wasn't too boring, you finish any Sudoku puzzles?

Also theme/hype music for Solomon

[Zombehs]

The BFSs are real.

[RyuShura]

@eklispe Don't worry, it was not boring. Another fine addition to the cast. :^D

@zombehs Yes, indeed. It wouldn't be anime without big fucking swords. Made of Edge, no less.

I just hope after all this intro stuff, I can finally post shorter things. It hurts my fingers and my poor little brain to try and reply to 8 responses at once without forgetting any details. I might've too, despite all my effort, is what worries me.

[ERode]

Untz untz, God Eater lets go.

To confirm, are all the weapons swords, even the sin-weighted ones?

[Zombehs]

appearing as completely new shapes and forms depending on who they entered. Some were the same, simple blades, but there were clear anomalies. To those who chose to become ‘whole’, the beautiful silvered shards have grown to grotesque sizes, now dripped and bubbled with a eerie blackness,

So, no I imagine?

[RyuShura]

They don't have to be, as I refer to them as 'weapons'. Technically, the 'silvered blades' don't have to be swords either. Feel free to make it whatever. Doesn't even really have to be melee.

EDIT: Er, yeah, what Zombehs said... XD

[Rune_Alchemist]

@RyuShura

oh god.

Nera's reaction to Isabella. It's perfect and I love it.

Isabella's gonna definitely be a tad bit defiant against such pampering. Nera's doing good to get on her good side, heh.

On the other hand...though, not sure how she's going to feel about that weapon. She'd have preferred something smaller and more nimble, rather than grotesquely large. Ah well, just the consequence of sin, I suppose~

Hm. I'll come up with something thematically appropriate for her. Maybe a spear/lance/halberd of some sort.

[ERode]

A whip could be large while still being nimble. And it shows off Isabella's kinky side too. <3

[Rune_Alchemist]

@ERode
Fucking beast cutter man

I might actually just do that because it'd both be hilarious and appropriate.

[RyuShura]

That would be fucking awesome. ^^ upvote on the Loli with the badass whip-blade. :^D
