[OOC] Myriad Reality

[BespeckledCeph]

@Source Ok that makes sense, could you recommend a character in the current plot that could be an entry point, since the multiple plot lines are still kinda confusing me even after reading a few pages of dialogue a few times over.

@BespeckledCeph

Yeah, I totally get that. I actually have the perfect scenario; I'll set up a PM with you and we can discuss it.

[Balance]

This guy took way to long to think up, but I think he might be worth it. Also sorry if it's a bit edgy, with his type of ability it's hard not to be. Also quick note, I really like the fact that the biography and personality sections weren't needed because in this character I think I wanna make up the character as I go and as I get a feel for him. I am also willing to negotiate and change everything. Also let me know if it's to short or if I need to add anything.

Keith's ability is to control shadow, he himself was a being born of shadow. The darker the area he is in, the more powerful his abilities become. The measure of this strength is called his Shadow Strength(Imaginative I know). He also only has a limited capacity for power, so he can't use his powers all at once. The cap on this is determined by his Shadow Strength. The capacity is also sapped by powerful light sources, to the point where he can't do anything until returned to the shadows. His techniques are varied, and he could be inspired by others to manipulate the dark in various ways, but the only ones he knows now are:

• Shadow Leap: Pretty self explanatory, can teleport to a shadow, distance is defined by Shadow Strength
• Shadow Creation: Again, self explanatory, can create a shadow and has the same properties as any other, size is defined by S S
• Shadow Consumption: Can engulf any item in shadow and can retrieve said item at will. An infinite volume of items can be stored, the size of an item able to be engulfed and stored is determined by S S. To clarify, if his S S goes below the required amount needed to hold the item, it will be returned to the area it was consumed at.
• Kunai: Summon a Kunai made of shadow. Damage inflicted, size, and frequency they can be summoned at is determined by S S
• Vortex: A trap that can be put on any surface, and explodes on command. Distance it can be set and moved away from Keith as well as radius and damage of the explosion is determined by, again, S S
• Everyone has darkness within: Able to briefly take control of a living entity. Distance, length, and maximum power the entity can be is determined by S S
• Shadow Invisibility: Can briefly become consumed in shadow and turn invisible. Can only be done while in a shadow or near one, and the length of invisibility is determined by shadow strength.

Some examples of the extremes on both ends could be: a small kunai that can barely get through the skin of a normal human and can only be summoned once every 30 seconds. On the other, if he were for example in deep space or near a black hole he could, consume the entirety of earth into his storage and then put it in the middle of another galaxy.

@BespeckledCeph

I really like this. I can see some possibilities for team-ups; I have a character that uses shadow in a different way and they might be able to get some positive feedback off of each other.

@Balance
Ooh, a way to grow both of our characters at the same time and make a friend as well.

sometimes I say this and it turns out it's not true
this is because sometimes when I say this I am actually going into my room to read God's Word or a book and I don't expect to come out and turn on my phone*

Have to say, this is one of the most well thought out shadow characters I've seen.
Also a heads up, if you happen to run into my current character (Thania) and and end up in a situation where you use the darkness within, expect some interesting results.

[Stabby]

@Balance Just curious, are you wanting me to make a new post to kick the npc thing off or..?

@Stabby

Thanks, it took all day yesterday to think of, and it's really just a cluster of multiple sources, but i'm glad you like it.

Also, now I really want to meet your character just to know what happens.

@BespeckledCeph

Hello!! I have read your Character sheet and am very impressed!! I have meant to say hi earlier but have been only able to lurk in the few past days. It is good to meet you and I am happy to see that you are interested in our RP. I also have a busy schedule even more so now that I have taken into boxing. But ill be here when I can.

@Stabby

No, sorry. It just takes a couple posts to actually get to another civilisation. I'm looking forward to your worldbuilding!

[Balance]

somebody tell me how you get an A in a physics class that requests precise answers when I do all the significant digit calculations but the teacher does not
EDIT: this is hypothetical because technically I haven't taken a physics class with an actual teacher but when I do will they give me grace for being right

@Galvanize

Thank you, for the small amount I've rped for at the moment this to seems extremely fun, and for now it seems to soon to judge but for the foreseeable future it seems I'll be staying. The people have been very helpful and nice thank you all.

That's awesome! Thanks for giving us a shot.

Yes

[BespeckledCeph]

Ok, now i've just realized a problem, once i'm gone and the story has progressed without me, how do we get back into the said story, especially when the people who I was making my own plot line with are offline?

@BespeckledCeph

yeah that's a millennium problem
several thousand dollars to whoever solves it

more helpfully, for us who have multiple characters, we just go ahead and start another thing while we wait
right now I'm waiting for Darlit Glitch
also helpfully, you're waiting for someone who technically is online; Fractured and Host who were just online are accounts of the user who plays Hestia, so you basically just time-skip a little or not time-skip at all
