  • Please add description of eyes (A static image conveys a static idea, whereas perhaps there are moving specks?) You can keep the picture.
  • Reference pictures, while useful, are not as telling as a written description. (Appearance) You can keep the pictures, within hiders: Though do not use hiders for the written portion, please.
  • Aligned Faction: "Considered enemy of The Forsaken as well as those against the Forsaken" is.. a tad confusing, is an enemy to all?
  • Backstory: " It was at this point Roland's abilities revealed themselves sending him across the field ", what abilities? I don't remember reading how, or when, he joined with a spark.
  • Backstory:I don't understand why there would be no evidence of the bodies, blood, or anything, but they leave your character their because.. why? Convenience, purely.
  • Backstory: "by crows and burned by the endless sun that Roland met his spark" Oh, there's that spark joining. Did you bother reading the lore I wrote? Actually, there's more lore errors than just the super powers without the spark. The character can't awake without a spark, as it is a manifestation of the spark. Uriel cannot "help" him remove himself from the cross, as the phenomena is gained by the joining, meaning the Spark has no prior knowledge of it, nor can Uriel take over his mind and do it for him, as the Spark can only take over during the awakened state. I suggest you read, or reread the lore, and redraft your backstory.
  • Backstory: I'm really glad he was found by these doctors dudes who had the equipment necessary to perform microscopic surgery on his intestines, and treat the infections ensuing from wounds like that. Also, Blood loss in this case is still going to be very severe - nearly all the abdominal organs are pretty amply supplied with arterial blood. It's a bit hard to work out precisely, but the combined cross-sectional area of the arteries supplying the liver, kidneys and intestines appears to be about equivalent to that of a femoral artery. Meaning he would bleed to death in a couple a minutes at best, not even factoring in his crucifixion wounds, probable dehydration, and it's popularized that crows would go for the softer tissues first, his open wounds, his disemboweled midsection, and his eyes and tongue. I see absolutely no possible way this character is alive-- In fact he should have died about four times now.
  • Armor: The armor he posses is accurately portrayed in the picture ... but without telekinetic shielding he is considered without armor. What? Does he or doe he not have armor? (Telekinetic shielding is not armor.) Also, Picture referencing his armor.. should be moved to armor section.
  • Abilities: Long name is long: "Run so fast he becomes a blur" I agreed upon improved speed, but that's a bit drastic. Tone it down to like, twice as fast of a person sprinting?
  • Abilities: Gremlin: That is not what tuning is, it does not give him the clairvoyance to see inside the working object and manipulate it. He would have to actually know what he was doing.
  • Abilities: Rail Gun: This is tuning.
  • Abilities: Spy Moon Guy: Training as a spy? You mean Soulless? How exactly does one know to acquire important pieces of information... if they do not understand what they are looking at; other than common sense which really isn't a special ability now is it?
  • Abilities: Elegant Savage: Don't use specific situations as a fact. (This is really just a tip, not really a problem). Everything has a circumstance, that metaphorical room of people he could engage, they could all be immortals, or bears in disguise.
  • Abilities: Muh Honor: Just need clarification on the last sentence, when he does use his powers to incapacitated, or when he does not? The "not" doesn't seem like it fits.
  • Abilities: Muh Hands (:P): I will allow him to move small objects without much weight without tuning to them, and his longinus because of the familiarity of the weapon.


Faction:Will clean up for clarity
Backstory

  • Offense 1- Misread the bit about the sparks. I thought they only talked to them when they awakened, and that awakening was different from first gaining their abilities
  • Offense 2- This was because I thought you'd like them to be nice and spooky but I can easily remove this
  • Offense 3- Again misread the section on the awakened part, will edit accordingly
  • Offense 4- Here I'm having some confusion, as when I consulted you via PM you said this was perfectly fine. I'll clarify that he was holding his guts in with his powers but I'll change it to someone else saving him. I guess I'll remove the crow?

Armor:This is a fair assessment; the telekinesis shouldn't be considered armor. Bit confused about the need to move it, but you're the boss.

Abilities:

  • Offense 1- Was using a bit of fluff to get the point across. Will edit with definitive numbers.
  • Offense 2- Would he thought? It's not like he's taking apart a gun by the screws, he's just breaking it. If you believe it's going to be an issue I'll remove it though.
  • Offense 3- Scout would have been a better word. I'll rework this one from scratch.
  • Offense 4- I'm not sure what your problem is here. Have I offended you in some way?
  • Offense 5- Perfectly fine with that.

I'd say a person who has intimate knowledge of a lock or mechanical part should be able to use their telekinetic prowess to manipulate its inner workings. Of course, that requires them to have the skill necessary and the studying required for it. The same as a lock picker would, really.

If this is telekinesis dude, why not just accelerate a rock towards the offending lock?

Why pick locks when you can remove the door?

As someone who picks locks, it's not that difficult, at least the goal isn't. What you're doing is simply lifting the pins to their specific hight so that the lock can be turned. That's what the grooves on your key are there for. A universal part in a lock picking set called a rake, is pushed in and out, bouncing the pins until the torsion wrench (the s shaped thingy that turns the lock once the pins are in place) can twist it successfully to the unlock position. Of course, unless it's locked from both sides this could be sidestepped (pending Aeonnumbera's approval) simply by turning the lock from the other side.

If this is telekinesis dude, why not just accelerate a rock towards the offending lock?

Because I figure I need something else to add to my arsenal when there are people who can create knives out of nothing and turn into light.

Just figured I'd mention that bullets are generally lead and copper and a magnet won't do anything to them.

Backstory: O4: To be fair, as I stated, in the past four days I slept a maximum of ten hours. Though it is a two way street, as you should think about the reality of what you're writing.

Armor: Armor Reference Pictures should go in the Armor area, so I don't have to scroll up to match it to the description. If it is not an armor reference picture, then put it where is should go, or leave it as is. If appearance and armor use the same reference picture, then it's not that big of a deal for it to just be in appearance. This was intended for specific references to armor, and less on the face, etc.

Abilities:
O2: If he's using brute force then, well, anybody can do that. The way that I perceived it as him being able to manipulate anything without any prior knowledge to how it works. A complicated puzzle lock for instance, you can't just break. Thus where I said it is possible, but only with prior experience of knowledge of the device to manipulate. Brute force is well, a given.

O4(?): Are you referring to the (tip) as in, hey here's a suggestion? Or the part where I asked for clarification? Both are kind of straightforward.

@ShotGun Bear I will get to your CS tomorrow, as I likely will not have the time tonight. I have to work early, which is why I've had such irregular sleeping patterns (To you- Arc- in case you're reading this, which you likely are.) so I can get to work with some sleep and not be late because chronic insomniac yay. Tomorrow, but from what I read so far I like the concept, I have a few technical questions, also be aware that your character will be unable to draw from the magnetic fields of earth or people, but bullets? Eh, whatever, I don't care about the technicalities of stopping them, but I'd rather not have the character be able to send them back to their prior owners, so just stopping them is fine.

You can PM me if you want, but I'd like to know more about the direction of your character; how you intend her use in combat situations like a gunfight, and how she can affect that, etc. The regenerative magnetic healing cauterization is .. interesting.. but to have that level of heat constantly would leave her unable to touch anything without incinerating it, or wear clothes, so that may have to go.

Anyways more on that tomorrow~

Regarding the background I agree that it was a bit outlandish and have edited it accordingly to be more plausible along with many other things that were in need of clarification. As for the offense 4 regarding abilities it seems like it didn't really need to be said and came off as a bit dickish since you clearly knew it meant "he's good at hitting people." That being said I understand what it's like going through sleep deprivation (was hospitalized for it a couple of times) so no biggie. Get some sleep when you can.

And now I'm caught up in the OOC. New characters are looking pretty punk rock, even if I kinda only skimmed most of them. It was informative skimming though; I read a lot, just not all the details yet.

I feel like I should say something else but my mind is drawn a-blank right now. Have this confusing youtube for now while I try to remember


Man, anyone know how to make the video appear in the post? Can't figure it out...

All the new people are lame.

Mono, tell them I think they're super lame. I'm not going to tell them myself because I am a very fearful and frail person, my facade of strength and confidence exists only in my gift of gab, which is itself manufactured and falsified. Like Holden and Max Caufield, I am myself, a phony like those I scorn. My lament is an existential and selfish over-analysis of my own standing and an ultimately barren search to provide some subjective, non-existent cosmic 'point' to my own being, instead of me just being here being enough. If any ultimate truth could be viewed as a punch line, then my life is a joke without one. I am unsure of most things, but I do know that occasionally I house the capacity to harbor a deep contempt for myself.

I'll send you a PM in a day or two Aeon, I'm on vacation atm.

Tl;dr the new people are lame but haha not really I just suffer from an actual untreated illness of the brain and I'm lost in this world, this capitalist hellhole, that I was "forced" in. Complaining only makes me hate myself more, you aren't lame, you are probably nice people. You all deserve love and respect and I want you to achieve some semblance of happiness, love, passion, and purpose in your lives. You're all great, please keep doing your best and have a good day.

Tl;dr tl;dr I hate myself, I think you're great.

@Monochromatic Rainbow I could spout my own perspective on anarchism and anti-capitalist ideologies, but really, I think I'll just say that I'd probably like it too, if I wasn't so poor, and gaze at the moon wistfully with a sigh.

Anarchy does not necessarily equal no capitalism, but meh.

I could spout my own stuff too, but I'll just replace it with something about Russian weaponry.
