[OOC] Essence of the World II: Tears do Fall

Rtron said
I have no doubt. :P

Of course, you and the others in the chat would know this very well. ^^

[Glitchy]

So, when is this starting up? I wanna write. =D

[Mikael]

Glitchy: Slade and I are still going over characters and have, for the most part, gone through all of them that have been posted up. We'll start as soon as Slade puts up an IC, albeit we can't promise everyone will have the 'approval to post IC' at the same time.

Reminder: I would like anyone who has CS placeholders in the earlier pages to make a post when they've added in their CS. Failure to do so might result in your CS not getting looked at as early as you might like. ^^

First thing first, I think we're waiting on some of the vets (including the GMs) to still get their CSes up as well see if any of the CSes from the new players need to be edited and who's approved. So it might take a bit, best to get to know each other and figure IC ways of how we can get our PCs connected and such. At least brain storm for idle chatter and get to know each other.

Starting off, I have a question: what PCs are in Kenan? Currently that's where Emmet is for now and want to see who I have access to right off the bat first when he's approved.

[Glitchy]

Well I am in Kenan. I skimmed a few of the other characters and thought everyone had decided to be there(someone was at a casino, another mentioned Kenan, etc...) so I figured that's where all the fun was at.

I think Wild Wind's weather Angel, Darren Winsor, is in Loom and Solus's location isn't declared for sure. I'm sure a few others might not be in Kenan as well but I would have to look again on the CSes.

[Glitchy]

Well I am open to any ideas if you want to RP together in Kenan. I was thinking about starting up a faction within Omnity that would eventually break off and do their own thing. A third smaller faction based on something some common theme between characters. I have to wait and see what the IC plot is though. Definitely might change.

That's true in most rps as I've discovered and just because you have one idea in mind, doesn't mean it will happen as soon or if at all the way you envisioned. Trust me, both as a GM and a Player, very little goes according to plan most times. I know Darius accepts small jobs to farther his business like being paid for hits, package delivery, protection ( mostly from him) and stuff like that. Which depending on the difficulty, him send Emmet on.

[Glitchy]

Hmmm. Thinking of ideas where we can RP. Maybe we can meet indirectly about some package he has to deliver. lol.

[Glitchy]

I know for this RP I am going to try very very hard to have little or no direct contact since Glitch is suppose to be something of a rumor in the city. Still scratching my head on how his interactions are going to be like.

[slade]

Alright you little buggers. My apologies for doing things a bit later. I've been busy and my internet was down this morning. Mika and myself have looked at all the current CS's with decisions and such. I will basically give you a yes or no answer with maybe some half-assed sardonic wit in an attempt to reinforce how cool I am (I am super cool btw) And Mika will give you guys a bit more in depth discussion about your character down below.

"Hey Slade, seems like you're doing all the easy stuff while Mikael is doing all the hard work"

My rebuttal to that is.... shut up

Anywho, before I do the CS's let me state one thing first.

At some point I want to put in an Angelic Remnant faction. The reason I haven't done this is because there are veterans who are more experienced with that part of the world than I am (all my characters are Human, that is pretty much my niche in this whole thing) and I wanted one of those players to represent the Angelic Remnant faction within their characters. In this regard the Veterans whom I would think best for the job would either be Wild Wind herself or Yoshua, at the moment I'm definitely leading towards Yosh due to his character kinda just set up to take this thing by the horns.

Now the information in regards to Angels that you have seen on the website graciously made for us by Cel is something written pre-season 1. The Angels described here are from When the Angelic Council still ruled the world and still were "taking care" of Humanity like a kid brother.

These days, the Angelic Council has pretty much collapsed, with a large portion of the leadership either killed or absorbed in the Sword that Judas carries within him. They are completely unable to perform their original functions as watchdogs over mankind and can barely keep tabs on their own kind anymore. Rogue Angels are a thing and Guardian Angels aren't the most relevant thing in the world anymore on "official" levels. Not to say you can't play as one. I can see an Angel saving a human and being like "yo i'm protecting you and stuff dawg".

Plus you know, second war with Demons plus Gospel killing as many of their kind as.... humanly possible (I'm so cool)
Which reminds me of my opener in the IC. I already got a basic setup for it, and its not pretty. #Angelsgetrekt

Anywho, but that is for a little bit later. i still have to get my own CS's up as do a few more people. So have patience young padawans

Lets get To CS acceptance stuff

Solus Grim (Synthorian) -Accepted

Domino Black and Fang (Krauxis)- Accepted

Lisara (Celaira)- Accepted [insert pun about dogs]

Zi Wallace and Darren Winsor (Wild Wind)- Accepted

Szayeis, Saella Lasari & Kenen Vax (Yoshua) Accepted, powerful characters. but still keeping in line with the world setup and stuff

Mary & Luciana (Rtron)-Accepted, though I wonder where Lucien is

Tristan Locke (Vinsanity)-Accepted

Emmet Zeke Matthews (Fallenreaper)-Accepted, just keep in mind what we discussed over the PM

Brysen Gray 'Glitch' (Glitchy)- Not Accepted quite yet, we have some of those electro abilities that need to be discussed.Thankfully, we have a team of professionals here that can help you with that.

Mamarié Jeanne La Fleur (februari)- Accepted, I was told that the team of professionals mentioned above helped you out a bit. Good to hear.

Here's my take on the CS approval process

---

page 1. Solus Grim (Synthorian): I approve. Just as long as he doesn't try to turn Solus into a walking battle cruiser with all dem weapons.

page 1. Domino Black & Fang (Krauxis): I approve. I'm not sure what is meant by 'shielding and defensive' magic (back in Season 1, my GA Caeldrin just had that damage transfer thing, telepathy and empathy to Aeris, sharp wings, and a briefcase with silver bolts and pistol-crossbows). I find Fang's guardian angel evolution for teleporting to a charge's side interesting and sensible. We discussed it in skype. She'd do so at the cost of temporarily disabling that auto-protection on Domino.

page 1. Lisara (Celaira): I approve with an astounding woof.

page 1. Zi Wallace & Darren Winsor (Wind Wild): I approve of Zi. As for Darren, it'll be interesting to see a Weather Angel tied to Loom be played out. At the moment, Darren's abilities are still [WIP] and so, not approved.

page 1. Szayeis (Yoshua): ... well here we are. No need to worry about the Old One. As for Szayeis himself... I approve. He is a 5000 year old demon. Should be powerful. But Yosh should continue to display decent sportsmanship, but I do think he needs to work on his presentation, which often leads people to think Szayeis is all powerful. He's not.

page 1. Mary & Luciana & Lucien (?) (Rtron): I approve of Mary, but that Abyss ability is a bit scary. Hey, that rhymes! Luciana is still a WIP and I don't see Lucien atm. I'll have to look more in depth at Rtron's CSs when they're finished.

page 2. Tristan Locke (Vinsanity): I approve. =D

page 3. Emmet Zeke Matthews (Fallenreaper): A very interesting character. I approve, as long as Terra Skin doesn't turn Emmet into a hulking rock golem or something; hardened skin should be skin-deep. Lawgick~ But yes, I find Emmet to be a very balanced character.

page 4. Saella Lasari & Kenen Vax (Yoshua): hmm... Saella didn't get much screentime last season, but given her focus on unlocking her past lives, she's a bit more powerful than when I last saw her, especially her tamer abilities. But it's in the lore: angels who unlock more past lives approach archangel power. I would expect someone who puts all of their points into physical battling to be better at fighting than Saella. Yosh can't say on one hand that she's no pro at swordsmanship but then use her tamer abilities to turn her into one (because she can sense actions before they happen somewhat). Let's see, her army of demons... all very powerful physically and such, but I look forward to seeing them die in battle. The one I'd keep an eye on is Unlight. Anyway, approved, and Kenen Vax approved as well.

page 4. Brysen Gray 'Glitch' (Glitchy): Not approved until those electro abilities get limiters and are toned down. Everything else looks great. Glitchy, the vets and I have discussed the problems and will share them with you when we can. Don't be disheartened.

page 4. Mamarié Jeanne La Fleur (februari): Very intriguing character. Refreshing, actually. We've helped Feb with the Loa bit: they're not spirits, just very elusive demons. I would like to see the voodoo magic a bit explained, but it's okay. Approved

[Krauxis]

Wind Wild said Some people create characters they want to be like and situations they want to be in. Do you want to be your character(s) or be in their shoes?

Maybe, if only because I made an awesome BFF/Waifu to hang out with all the time. I'm not entirely convinced that I'd actually want all these demons and angels running around :p

Also - My characters are in Kenan currently, although I have a couple of situations planned out for them, so they may move from here to there.

Possibly but there's also something else to consider: maybe your PC is suppose to deliver a package to Darius and Emmet could be the one assigned to pick it up? Then you'll get to listen to Juan flirt with Emmet while he receives Emmet's return snide remarks about it. Usually ending up with him giving the "bird" with his middle finger. XD It's rather fun to watch me write out a whole scene with my NPCs some times despite it getting lengthy or at least that's what I've been told.

Heck, Rtron thought about some ideas from Sir for Emmet and might be able to entangle your PC as well depending on the IC. That is if the PC doesn't mind being hired by someone else.

That's not usually a good idea as it limits your involvement within the rp and might not be fun in the long run. Namely you'll be rping with yourself and NPCs either the GMs create or you do. In my experience that tends to get old fast... but that's me.

[Glitchy]

Did I get a message about what stuff is good and bad? How tone down do the abilities need to be?

Well I mean. Glitch would be more likely to talking through cellphones and synthesizers. The interaction in theory should be there, but the physical body shouldn't be present unless its something serious, but again I'm little torn on how I want that to happen lol. It could like you mentioned suck a lot.

Easy, I wasn't aimed to be offensive or to tell you what to do. Merely what my opinion was and nothing more. If you have fun with it then by all means go for it because that's rp is about.

No that was to the GMs lol cause I need to change something to my character.

[Mikael]

Easy, mates. ^^

And no, we didn't send a PM to you yet, Glitchy. I don't think so anyway >_> ... just sit tight.

Zi is at Kenan and will likely come to meet Emmet sooner or later. She's, as mentioned, working at a bar but she also wanders around other such places, mostly exterminating demons. Problem is she tries to stay clear of demons she can't talk to or kill. Up-side is that she is prone to talking to demons depending on the circumstances.
