[OOC] Dimensional Academy(wolfsujiyama & Foster)

[Foster]

Well, I figured-out the hardest part of my next post, pairings.

The second hardest part is how Didani was going to survive the landing with just a pike and a really bad temper.

Everyone else is pretty much sorted. Lilith is going to spook Mimi with a shot going over her head, though, and Xuno is going to make a bit of a splash since even with all the wind in her favor she'll still fall like a brick.

[wolfsujiyama]

Don't forget they still have their element powers, so technically Didani could use her fire element to slow her decent. Same for Xuno, she could use her wind element to slow her decent even further that just relying on the air around her from falling, or use her water element in combination with her wind to create a water cushion of some kind, or create a bubble of water to catch her and use the wind to glide her down to the ground.

Using their elements has no real restrictions, aside from imagination. The way elements work in this world is that they use their Mind, Body, Soul, and the most important part Imagination. If they have a lack of imagination, they will probably have a hard time controlling and manipulating their elements, while those who have an active imagination will have an easier time. If they can imagine it, then it will most likely be possible to perform, they just have to implement it into action and imagine how it would be performed.

Also it is possible to combine their elements to create new elements, but only if it would make sense for the combination. For example, for being able to manipulate Blood as an element, for me, I would think someone would need the elements Water, Heat, and Metal.

Oh and just an update, I am in the process in updating the Character Creation page by adding in the links to each Creature's wiki page, so that way instead of searching them up, you can just go straight to their wiki page. Hopefully, it'll be done by the next time you're online.

Thanks to you telling me how its done, I it will make things a bit more easier, and for future posts, I can link images to creatures without having to put them into spoilers.

Well, the thing is Xuno is kinda dense. So gravity it going to win to some extent against a 400 pound ballistic green brick. So she'll be taking option D: All of the above. Huge column of water from the river, wind, shotgun-recoil, and pelting boulders at herself so she can smash them to try and slow down. Plus with a bit of luck, she can then use her ability to guide the falling rock-fragments to hit any monsters on the way down.

Granted, all of that is going to end up crashing down around Hasuno and Xuno is going to be all wholesome smiles after putting a crater into the riverbed. To her that would be a soft landing, she could land softer but doesn't see the point since it already won't hurt her. She's basically a tank, which can be downright frightening if she'd actually get angry and used her abilities to essentially be the tanky girl she is inside an adaptive stone power-armor, with a shotgun.

---

Didani could try using her rocket-launcher as a jetpack, since heated air, confined and forced out the other end is essentially a jet engine. But as that's not a landing-strategy she'd practiced before, it won't be a reliable solution. I have... a few ideas, one is the tried and true landing strategy that'd work even if she had no abilities or rocket-launcher. It'd hurt, but she'd live; which tracks with her approach to brute-force her way to a simplistic solution. Otherwise I could have her play in the shadows once she punches through the tree-canopy and teleport to the ground with zero/mirrored inertia. Since that's a pretty staple ability of hers and she's probably been thinking with portals for quite awhile.

Which means she'd going to find the insectdragon's ability to meld/teleport through shadows equally annoying.

So for your characters, I'm guessing you're taking the approach of them needing the elements around them to use their elements? Cause for these elements you don't really need the element around for them to control and manipulate them, they can conjure them out of thin air if needed. Kind of like Hasuno did at the start of the roleplay, when she created a ball of water to move around. Which is where the Soul comes in, one uses their own soul to conjure the element they control into reality. While using the mind and body to control and manipulate, and imagination to allow them to command the elements to bend to their will.

[Foster]

I'm going off of the idea that conjuring an element takes a bit more effort than manipulating the ones that are already present.

Like, Didani can probably manipulate an entire forest-fire with her eyes closed, but conjuring such a blaze would be almost impossible for her. Strong mind and body, not so much of a soul (she has just enough to roll a +5 to intimidation, though), it's kinda one of those racial penalties of tieflings, actually. She's basically attending the school with what amounts to a supernatural disability, on top of leaving her equipment for compensating for it back at the dorm. So rather than admitting there's anything 'wrong' with her, she's trying to strength-train her tainted soul the hard way. At least that's how I'll rationalize it.

Also I realized at work that Xuno could probably pull a Thor and fly via swinging her mace, assuming she's got a stone or something in it. Summoning it could be kinda nifty though. Or, since she's got one hell of a strong soul, can just walk down a rainbow-road if she'd have thought of that. Xuno would be great if she wasn't so dense.

The other two are pretty normal, I'm just not discussing those two because I feel like I need something to surprise you with.

...Fine, one more spoiler: Lilith will be loading her crossbow with literal ice-bolts that'll shatter (going to flip a coin on whether on impact or airburst) into a fine mist of ice-crystals.

[wolfsujiyama]

Ah, gotcha, I'm mostly going to be going with my own idea of conjuration, but truth be told it doesn't really matter how much effort they put in to control or conjure an element. It takes the same amount of effort to do either. By Effort I mean Soul and in case you're wondering by Soul I mean their own energy within them, not literally their own soul, but the energy within themselves. Other people would probably call it chi or chakra, or whatever, I prefer to call it Soul for this world and any world I use these Elements in.

[Foster]

So the footnote here is that Lilith heard Xuno land and Xuno saw Lilith's entrance.
-Xuno may or may not be pointing a rifle at Mimi right about now.

And Khat decided to pick a fight with Nella's basilisk while she'd already bit off more than she can chew with the void.

[wolfsujiyama]

Gotcha and by the way its a Vold with an L not an I.
