[OOC] Camp Halfblood: Return of Heroes (Revival of Jul's RP)

@Krayzikk: Yes, though some non quest deals can be kept.

@Smilies: I really don't like approving people for solely comic relief, but I might make an exception if we can fix the second ability. Krein, thoughts?

@Kiyomi: Approved, including the parenthetical ability.

[jeroukoo]

Hm, lemme think of a compromise then. I might just toss it out and think of another ability, if I can't get a good revamp. Just give me a couple minutes too think...

(( the comic relief was kinda a joke but moving on )) Did the things I suggest kinda help? As in only able to do it with his hands, and he won't be able to see use a weapon himself because it's uncontrollable.

[Krein]

I think Peaceful Transfiguration should be more of an active ability rather than an automatic one. Weapons such as "mortal" guns and blades will be easier to transform into something harmless, while weapons of magical origin will require more effort. The transformation should also have a time limit related to how much willpower the guy can exert into keeping it that way. Again, normal weapons will be easier kept transformed, while magical weapons will require more effort to keep in their harmless form.

As for the flex thing, if you really want to keep it, it should be more of a soothing aura thing whose more potent form can be activated for a certain period of time.

These are my suggestions.

[jeroukoo]

I'll change the flex power to what you recommended, I might toss the transfiguration thing and make it something else.

[Phloem]

Finally done. Hope this is alright. :D

huge picture

Name: Danny Wycombe

Age: 17

Godly parent: Deimos

Years at camp: 3

Weaponry: Anything he can get his hands on. But he's quite partial to war axes.

Fatal flaw: He's a bad fighter despite being an Ares legacy. It's mostly because he never needed to use his fighting skills, due to him always relying on his terror-bringing ability.

Special Abilities (Limited to 2): Danny has the ability to make one see their worst fears through eye contact.

Other (Background information, etc.): Danny lives and breathes terror. Not just fear – but pants-wetting, nightmare-inducing, can’t-sleep-alone-for-months terror. Even as a child, he found enjoyment in scaring people. He was always probing people, asking them what they were afraid of, what scared them the most. Somehow, no matter how reluctant the person was, Danny was able to get it out of them; to find out their deepest, darkest fears. And, as any young, slightly sociopathic boy would do, he went out of his way to exploit those fears. When the girl next door admitted she was afraid of ghosts, Danny made up a story about how he was sure he’d seen a face at her window a few nights earlier – pale, ethereal, ghostly. The girl hadn’t been able to sleep in her own room for three weeks afterwards, and despite being punished severely for lying, Danny reveled in the fear one little story had caused.

His penchant for scaring people and exploiting their fears grew only the as got older. If people were afraid of the dark, he’d find a way to leave them in the dark for three hours. If they were afraid of spiders, he’d spend days catching numerous arachnids, and then releasing them at once into the victim’s bedroom whilst they slept. No fear was too small or too big for Danny to exploit, and his mother often feared for his mental health. It didn’t help that the one time he was sent to therapy, he scared the therapist so much she suffered a nervous breakdown and moved countries.

At Camp Half-Blood, Danny keeps mostly to himself. His naturally threatening aura means that many campers go out of their way to avoid him, though, unfortunately for them, Danny enjoys seeking them out. He gets a kick out of seeing people cry, especially because of him.

o.o Danny scares me. Well written character, though.

Kellen is a diagnosed schizophrenic, and suffers from severe psychosis. Could I add that in her CS?

Uhh, also, for Abraham, just curious how you're going to downplay the strength of his ability? Like, he always wins with constant adaptation. The only way to beat him would be if, well, you killed him quickly before he could adapt. So he always wins. Just curious >w<

And as for Jason, he's got no offensive or defensive capabilities with the reworks.

(( ah sorry so much qq I'm just curious is all ))

[jeroukoo]

Edited app to make the charm thing not limited to twice a day. Basically, he can't spam it, but per encounter her can do it maybe twice. That ok?

[Krein]

@Jeroukoo: Everything looks good so for from here!

@Phloem: I think he and Seth might actually get along well, seeing as how Seth's magic focuses on fear amongst other things like hate and sorrow. I think it would be wise however, to include some limit to the effect of his Terror Aura. It obviously can't be as powerful to the degree of Hades' Helm, and there might be a bit of trouble if everyone around him is instantly paralyzed by fear. Everything is good, just assure us that the Fear thing won't cause power playing and stuff like that.

[Seitsukiyomi]

Quite a few of the characters are lone-wolf types. Interacting with everyone will be interesting.

[Kaithas]

Abraham has been used before in multiple RPs. He got the stuffing beaten out of him each time. Last time with several punches to the face.

I can handle his power.

Those other profile up there are good, I'll try to get the IC up before I sleep tonight.

For sure, his aura just makes people feel uneasy around him, like he's about two seconds away from stabbing them or something. It's nothing much, just enough to make people wanna avoid him whenever possible. xD

[smilies]

Sorry the post is a little lengthy for a free roleplay qq--

[Krein]

Pfft, take a look at the IC of my RP xD.

To elaborate on the lakefish's words;

Abraham adapts, yes. But he adapts after he's already been hit. It's far from instantaneous, as well. To adapt to something like, say, charm speak, it would have to be used on him, and the first time, he'll be as susceptible to it as anyone else. It's a powerful ability, yes, but it has inherent drawbacks.

And that's before we even consider the fact that it's passive, so he can't control the results. Rather than an active, first resort, it's something he falls back to if he has no other option, and has spent most of the fight being pummeled into the ground. His sword, granted, adapts as it fights; but it's also just a weapon.

(And for the record, it wasn't multiple fists, it was just the one. :P)

For anyone who cares (AKA no one), Abraham is more or less being reset to how he was prior to the start of the last game. He didn't really do anything, so there isn't much of a point in assuming that those interactions took place.

[Seitsukiyomi]

I accidentally called Deuce, Eli. My bad. I fixed it, so hopefully no one's confused.

Ooh, that's a really interesting ability. ^_^
