[DELETED08737]

@King Cosmos in any case I'm curious what lineage do they have?

@ColourlessKing

None to speak of really. Just a Princess chosen from a no-name family for their potential.

@King Cosmos

Oh damn... Now that's way more depressing than a 10 Great Families one oof!

[King Cosmos]

I imagine most Princess's don't lament their situation; a fair number of them seem to be loyal to Zahard if nothing else. You're heavily restricted in that you can't marry or have children, but in return you become one of the most powerful beings in the Tower and for Princess's who aren't from a powerful family becoming a Princess Ranker means elevating your family into a position of power and fortune.

@King Cosmos im caught up but Mimi hasn't read it , also our rp takes place a couple years before the events of the webtoon so we don't need to worry about spoilers

@King Cosmos

No that's not whats depressing to me. See when your a 10 Great Families kid 10/10 times you have probably already participated in contests for power within the household due to your Mom/Dad. Eventually, you're normalized to such situations that it's just natural and fighting for being a Princess isn't so hard to stomach.

But when it comes to Regulars being converted into Princesses must be hard to fight tooth and nail for your survival and eliminating your fellow competitors who you no doubt grew close too for the purpose of testing loyalty.

Still, this is very interesting hehe.

[Jasper19]

Alright so rules when characters are fighting other characters are
1. No godmoding(obviously)
2. no metagaming
3. Winners will be decided between the roleplayers taking into consideration each characters abilities

@ColourlessKing

Sorry, I'm not quite sure what you mean by this; I can't think of anything that requires Princesses to kill their companions as a test of loyalty. It almost sounds like you're describing Androssi's situation, which wasn't to do with her being a Princess candidate exactly but was specific to her situation.

[Jasper19]

Rules have been posted as the Zeroth post on the OOC and didnt know if you saw my announcement about the setting @King Cosmos so I'm going to say it again, our RP will be taking place a couple years before the events of the WEBTOON

@King Cosmos

I guess we have different interpretations about Snake Charmer's role then. To me, he was the one tasked with finding and then raising any regulars with the capabilities to be Princesses. Considering how long a Zahard servant's life can be, it wouldn't be farfetched to think Andorsi's upbringing was not a one in time thing but a tried and true procedure. Especially with the fact that someone is supposed to gather and raise only the cream of the crop. Don't mind it too much just me disecting, analysing, and theorizing.

@Jasper19

Yeah, I saw. There won't be spoilers in the RP itself, but things have a way of coming up in discussions so I feel it's important to establish where people are at.

@ColourlessKing

I think Snake Charmer's role, or at least his methods, are kind of ambiguious; he helps Princess candidates develop but that could mean different things to different people; it could mean helping them get stronger or it could mean clearing the way for them to stand out. As for Androssi's upbringing, her being placed in direct competition with her "sister's" was something her adoptive father came up with, since he was trying to farm Princess candidates to increase his own influence; probably not unique but probably not common either. I'd imagine Snake Charmer wasn't directly involved with every Princess or Princess candidate either, since I can't see him being able to be involved with that many girls at once.

[DELETED08737]

@Jasper19 By the way since most Shinsoo techniques take years to learn unless your 25th "I can copy any Shinsoo Technique thats just about talent" Baam. Will there be time skips?

[Jasper19]

@ColourlessKing yes I said either this will be a hella long rp or there's going to be time skips cause of all the floors and such , I think I I'm going to do both most of the floors will be being rped but ill time skip a couple years/months

[DELETED08737]

@Jasper19

In that case any technique limits you wanna implement? For the first few floors I mean. Considering that actually becoming a Ranker is super rare in itself. The group would be a quite formidable and rare batch composing of an Irregular, Princess, Ten Families, and An Anima.

[Jasper19]

@ColourlessKing yeah In the first few floors(1-10) you may only know one technique as you progress you may learn more but must specialize in one certain technique

[DELETED08737]

@ColourlessKing yeah In the first few floors(1-10) you may only know one technique as you progress you may learn more but must specialize in one certain technique

@Jasper19

In that case... Quick question do we get our special position immediately or later. Besides Anima/Guide since thats more talent/race based.

Mostly asking because Po Bidau are specialists in Wonsul considering they are the ones who seem to teach it.

[Jasper19]

@ColourlessKing you have it from the start but you must develop it over time , example: my character can only control less powerful animals like the Net Dolphin rn

[King Cosmos]

Looking at the wiki for Wonsulsa, it seems to be something like a title you have to take an actual exam to earn.

In order to become a Wonsulsa, one is chosen to take certain Tests at Gustang's Research Association to become certified. Because of this, there are few Wonsulsa as only those who have passed have learned this technique. Requirements to be chosen to take the test are currently unknown and it is also unknown if Regulars are allowed to take this test.

ToG Wiki

So it might be a case of having similar abilities but not officially being recognised as one.

[Jasper19]

@King Cosmos his character is in the family that administers the test so it would be fairly easy for him to take it

@King Cosmos

Yeah, that was my thought process. Nikola has an unfair advantage of both knowing the existence of the technique on the first floor considering his family's monopoly over it and the ability to use atleast most the basic applications.

But now I can't choose if I should spec into his Simultaneous Flow and Reverse Flow Control Talent or Wonsul.
