[OOC] Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

[KabenSaal]

Let's face it. The A-10 does not fly. It stares down gravity until Gravity goes to weep in the corner.

[Kaithas]

Sorry, narcolepsy hit last night. Kaithas in the house, working on a post. God, a lot of people said hi to Amy... XD

@KabenSaal

As evidenced by what kind of damage it can safely land with :D

<Snipped quote by Guess Who> Ahem. "This is the kind of gun they used to put planes on. It wasn't a case of 'Oh, we got this jet fighter, it kinda needs something besides missiles and bombs and shit, let's strap this thing on'. NO. It was a case of a guy making a gun SO awesome, that he just stepped back, and said, "This shit needs to fly'. And everyone else is like, 'You can't make a gun fly!'. And the first guy is all like, 'Fuck you, yes I can. I will strap a plane to this gun.' And everyone's like, 'You mean strap the gun to a plane?' And the first guy is like, 'No, man. I am strapping the plane to the gun. The plane is an accessory.' And then everyone's minds were blown. Like, there was some serious mind blowing going on there. Ears were bleeding. Synapses just went and committed suicide because it was so awesome." - Smith, BOrangeFury's Fallout Let's Play

@Agent B52

I swear I've never heard of this BOrangeFury guy. I guess great minds think alike.

[NaraK]

er did i make a mistake i think sangue didn't say anything yet

[Krayzikk]

...Maybe I can kill Grimm better with this class, Sangue stated- something blatantly obvious- in her mind.

I thought the last line of her last post was her speaking. If I'm wrong I'll fix it. XD

As far as weapon and semblance upgrades go I don't think we should use in game currency to get them given that some students are just naturally better off than others. For instance Sapphire's father is an effective hunter and as such Sapphire has a good deal of money at her disposal as apposed to the guy who grew up outside the kingdoms and slept on the ground before coming to Beacon.

@Prince of Seraphs

This is true. And I'm totally not saying that because my character is said guy who grew up outside the kingdoms and slept on the ground. No way, definitely not that reason.

[Psyrencalling]

Team GJMM unite! We should really start thinking about what mission we want to go on.

@Psyrencalling

I want to do the Protesters one.

@LokiLeo789

Yea. I was going to vote the Protesters one or the Underground Casino at the very bottom.

The credits were always meant to be an OOC currency, while Lien is an IC currency. The system of reward in proportion to mission difficulty was indeed pretty obvious. I realize that I've made a problem by not properly defining 'ability upgrade', so I'll go ahead and do that now. Somebody who gets an ability upgrade doesn't just receive new powers, if you thought that was what it was. Rather, I view a semblance like a muscle; with training and use, it can be improved and used in new ways. For instance, at the start of season two of RWBY the titular character uses her Speed semblance to create a jetstream that sucks in objects and carries them with her. Our own characters can discover new ways to use their semblances. For instance, Jack might find out that if he uses Midnight Lightening and crashed directly into an opponent, he can discharge all of his electricity at once, perhaps stunning the target. Priscilla might find out that she can use her forcefields more accurately to create 'force armor' around herself or an ally. These are the sort of things that might constitute an Ability upgrade. Plus, since credits are OOC, we can use in-RP reasons to introduce upgrades we've bought. For instance, after Diamond wins an A-level mission and Forsythe places first in a coffee-making contest, Forsythe can bu an ability upgrade and leave it in wait, and then suddenly in a particularly vicious fight IC with an Ogdoad, a wounded and frightened Diamond might, in a fit of anger, create a living monster out of her shadow to fight for her--and therein comes that upgrade. By the way, if you're worried about people powering through missions and accumulating craptons of upgrades, listen up. You can and will fail missions that you try that are too hard. For this reason I was thinking of adding an 'Antagonist' category to missions, which allow one player to be the opposing force in that mission. For instance, while team MODA might be the one to go on that convoy, it could very well be Sixsmith playing all the Grimm they encounter. Let me know if you think this is a good idea. Finally, concerning subplots. What do you mean 'too limiting?' Is it that there wouldn't be enough? I could lower the pricing on them. And the subplots I envision would be pretty specific actually. For instance, if I hypothetically paid for a subplot, I could have us encounter Abel's long-lost brother, and repercussions would ensue. Wouldn't effect the overall story too much; the only one majorly affected is my own character. Also we're about to move on to fourth period IC.

The upgrading Semblence is cool, but what would Moku's semblance change to? It's pretty pinnacle as it is.

@KabenSaal

It is? Thanks for letting me know. Mirror of Yata is now only effective on physical attacks and has a short recharge period.

It does? When was this?

@KabenSaal

Just now. Wouldn't want it being overpowered now, would we?

@Lugubrious

You are now, Diablo 3.

[Lugubrious]

Anyway, Forsythe, Narc, you're up. Armory and Grimm Studies are a go.

I guess you didn't get the Diablo 3 quip.
