So... where's the character sheet template and the info on what this RP is, exactly?

What about a primordial entity? In case you didn't know, primordial entities are among the highest forms of life in existence, as they have ascended farther than even gods have, and usually represent a governing force of existence. For instance, my fursona is a primordial entity representing fire, which means he's the physical embodiment of all fire, whatever the type. Primordial entities are often mistaken for being gods, but they are more powerful. However (and here's the balancing kicker), a primordial entity absolutely must practice total moral neutrality or risk descending from their position. They cannot side with anybody, always acting in the best interests of the Multiverse as a whole, and never in the interests of a certain group. Many also abhor violent solutions, preferring to find diplomatic solutions more often than not.I think I'll still do the standard RP style if it's all the same to you. I'd feel strange not using quotation marks or not describing actions in detail. I also vastly prefer third person over first, since it gives a lot more freedom and flexibility than first person does.

Heh, Gods are trivial. But we have something similar called guardians, in which they have absolute control over a concept, like this character, Techi, has 100% control over electricity. As for third person, I have to think about it, honestly. The premise behind this that all of this is actually happening, and not just a story, so I don't know if we can fit that in. Our RP just isn't a standard one, so I have to mull it over. Besides, we already have locations and everything, although you could describe things in actions symbols, such as "Has dark red hair, and golden eyes, blah blah blah...*Except substitute actual words for the blah part. Like I said, I need to think about it.

I'm saying primordial entities are far, far more powerful than gods. To the point where my fursona, being a primordial entity representing fire, actually completely negates all pyromancy/pyrokinesis within a considerable radius of his current position. He's also completely immune to all forms of fire, even if the fire isn't even hot. Unlike Guardians, which control, primordial entities are literally the consciousness of whatever they represent, which grants them unrivaled control of that aspect. It's why a primordial entity of electricity could easily strip control from a Guardian of electricity despite the Guardian's absolute control, because it would be the electricity simply refusing to cooperate, choosing to do what it wants instead of what someone else wants.I'd understand if this is too much, though. Oh, and I should also mention that primordial entities are always immortal in mind, but rarely in body (meaning you can physically kill them, but given time, they can reconstruct their body; it takes a while to do so, however). The reason is put simply: you can't kill fire, so why would you be able to kill an entity that is the very embodiment of fire?

Well, I want a multiversal force, not an emotion, so it should be fine. I'm hoping to stick my fursona in here, and he represents fire (and, in part, dragons, since he is one). I may or may not put in a second character. Depends on how well my interest holds.Anyway, you should probably end up expecting casual-level posts from me. I go by whether the concept interests me instead of whether it's free or casual (and I have dabbled in advanced as well).Anyway, I kinda feel like the posts I do would run a bit more smoothly if I did the regular style of storytelling, due to my writing style. Since you already do third person anyway and separate the dialog into a separate paragraph, it really wouldn't make much difference. It's not like you write dialog in third person. Even if a character refers to themselves in third person, they still use second person in reference to others (usually).

That's what I'm saying. Most people don't speak in third person, so all I'd really be doing differently is sticking all dialog and action in one block of text. I can eliminate environmental description if needed, I just want to put dialog and action in the same paragraph. That's what I've been trying to say that all along. So (using your example as well) I'd doSo-and-so looks down. I don't usually use terms like "says" or "said". I just kinda stick the dialog right after an action and only use those kind of terms if they speak a specific way.
