[OOC] The Shapeshifting Event

Draconilian said
I know my measurements, and there is no definition of what a Dragon is or isn't, size or otherwise. Besides, I'm playing a Dragon so I'm not gunna ban themthink about it, if you're shapeshifting into something, mass is kind of an issue, honestly that much is stretching it, but if someone shapeshifts into something enormous, it would either be ecosystem unfriendly, or completely insane. It's really more a convenience thing though (like requesting everybody to be able to speak english...) because you wouldn't want shapeshifting limited by space would you?

A traditional dragon is massive. A drake is literally a dragon, but more of the 20 foot one you desire. I was simply giving you the "traditional". If you want to call them dragons then you are entitled to do so. We shall be 20 foot dragons. Still terrifying mind you!

[Draconilian]

please don't get into Dragon Lore with me, I am literally more qualified than any human on the planet to talk about them.

Tradition really doesn't mean anything. Also we can presume Dragons grow over time, since no shifter would likely be older than 70, they would also be 70 in Dragon years, which, going by traditional interpretation, would likely be no more than an adolescent, therefore smaller size is reasonable

Really depends on your lore :3 but it's cool. We can start a debate thread later haha. Anyways, still sounds great. Just need to touch up a few key points in my bio, probably add it tomorrow as it's late, busy day, going to try to sleep.

Darkwolf, your characters past isn't possible. Shape-shifting did not occur until January first 2016. Absolutely zero paranormal phenomena existed before that date.

How did you figure that she wasn't born after 2016? Because her powers started showing after she was 3? I would assume that not everyone generates their magic the same way.
I never stated her birth date, she could have been born many years after the first 'paranormal phenomena' was documented. So, what do you suggest I do then?

[kapuchu]

Darkwolf, if I may?
I think the point of this RP is that it happens in the same timeline, and that the RP starts about a month after magic returned. (I.E - Beginning of February 2016). I can only assume that that was what Draconilian was going for.

Wow, bunch of people already got their apps up. Welp, I'll try to get mine up tonight. Last day of camp, so if it isn't up by then, it should be posted early tomorrow morning. Glad we got alot of members.

[Sharnid]

Yeah I was also kind of wondering what the current year will be at the start of the RP

I also stated the rp is taking place a month after the event

[Darkwolfsoul010]

How can I change it to make it acceptable? This is a neat idea and I'd like to rp with you guys, but I don't really see how her bio is not ok?

[Draconilian]

She just doesn't shapeshift before the date in the Op?

[Girlie Go Boom]

Urmuhgurds! Lots o' peeps popping in charries! K, so like yeah, I'll post one up tonight tooooo~~!!

Alright, I'll look into changing the bio when I get home from work today

[Sharnid]

Didn't see that my bad! Sounds perfect though! Looking forward to the IC.

[Draconilian]

@Kapu I recommend everybody start in the south american colony, if they are a shifter anyway, because that's going to be the center of conflict for a while. However you can have them be somewhere else, but there likely won't be much to do,

[kapuchu]

You wrote that the colony was in South Africa in the OP, not South America. Anyway, thanks for the answer - Also, is my character approved? :3

[Draconilian]

FUCK

I meant south america, and I'm a complete idiot

Fixed, sorry for the sudden rapid setting change, not that it changes the direction things were going to go anyway, I don't know how that typo slipped by me for like a week

[kapuchu]

That's good to know ^^ So Lily Strider will be going south, it seems... Just like the Potato Pest so long ago :D
