[OOC] Equivalent exchange

[dndragons]

@agentmanatee

Not entirety used to how to respect post order and such on a forum, so should I reply to the post done by agent or wait for the Colonel? In post by post stuff we just went in a circle of posts but I've seen forum rps sometimes just post out of order.

I'm going to work now, but I find the time to squeeze in a little post. I think we can skip straight to East City after this scene and meet @GummyCat's character during the official briefing. It would sound more natural than retconing someone else's existence at the lunch. What do you guys think?

@KoL

Well, we might be on the train, but we are traveling across a country. I'ts going to take some time. I think we should stay on the train a little longer,it gives us a little more time to chat plus if Gummy finds the time, than she can be part of the introductions.

[GummyCat]

Nah, I don't mind waiting, I am actually stuck in a small rut for having creative ideas but no way to actually put them out :< So yeah... Again I'll have something up in a bit, if I can think of it.

@Undying Curiosity

Well, I agree with you partially, because I believe that we shouldn't delay too much the main story. Ther's only so much we can do during travels, that's why they are handwaved on most works of fiction.

@GummyCat

Certainly, you should take your time. IMO, it's better to delay and do a good character, than regret your choices later.

@KoL

Our current situation may not be a good example, but unlike other works of fiction we can have all the time we want. This is a roleplay, and there's not an end in sight. That being said, we really don't need to rush anything.

I'm only really saying anything because most of us had only posted once and there's already talk of arriving at our destination. Like I said, this may be a bad example, but I wouldn't want to repeat this later in the Rp.

[agentmanatee]

Well I'm tentative to skip the whole trip as I had an action... for lack of a better word scene, because what's cooler than a fight on a moving train?

@dndragons I would do a split post. First respond to the colonel. Then cut to a later time on the train to respond to my post... just my suggestion

[dndragons]

@agentmanatee
No need to cut to a later time while we are doing this briefing still I believe. Right?

[Undying Curiosity]

Well we could always have the action interrupt the meeting.

@dndragons

I guess he meant that if he had posted before you but now it doesn't matter anymore.

[agentmanatee]

Well I'm gonna sat the train just got moving so it won't interrupt the meeting, we need to get out of central first

[agentmanatee]

Sry for the short post btw, I'm in the middle of something but wanted to get a post off

[Undying Curiosity]

So to get it straight, we're waiting for the train to leave central and then the GM has something in store for us after introductions but while were still on the train.

Am I missing something?

[agentmanatee]

Nope, you got it!

[Undying Curiosity]

Alright then, I'll start my characters introductory.

Almost Done, Wanna check his Alchemic Ability?

• Marco Wazaoski •
• The Resonating Alchemist •

• Age •
20

• Rank •
Captain

• State Title •
The Resonating Alchemist

• Backstory •
Include your experience in Ishval, if your character was a state alchemist during that time

• Specialty •
Marco's ability is the cause the air around an object to vibrate extremely fast causing a humming noise when he uses it. Activating it When using it on his sword, it increases its destructive abilities substantially, being able to pulverize stone stone by tapping it. While his sword is his main weapon, he also uses metal gauntlets for up close melee combat. His sword and gauntlets both have transmutation circles to help facilitate his alchemy. His form of Alchemy has amazing close-range destructive prowess but lacks in range which is limited to his weapon, severely being out-ranged by other forms of alchemy. Focusing on his agility and reflexes while having his alchemy provide the destructive powers, having Marco being a very agile person.

[dndragons]

@GummyCat
The lowest rank he can be is Major. State Alchemists start at that rank due to simply being a State Alchemist.
Also, Alchemy can't just vibrate the air. Alchemy is about rearranging molecules to produce a desired effect in a sense. Such as rearranging an iron bar into a iron sword, or even steel if you have something like graphite for the carbon nearby. It doesn't provide a constant interaction. It can move the air molecules once, but not for several moments at a time if it was constantly active. As far as I am aware after watching the show several times.

@dndragons
Darnit, forgot Alchemy was on a more 1-use basis... hmmm back to the drawing boards

(edit- Maybe I'll go into magnetism to make electricity or something similar... Or I go into physics and manipulate physical forces... ehhh)

@GummyCat

I made a comment about electricity earlier. Alchemy, as far as I can think of, can't do the electricity and magnetism thing. It's a limit on energy and the fact that to make a bolt of electricity you would need to create a potential difference of 50,000 Volts per inch of air. This must be done WITHOUT the technology done to make it happen today (as transformer and much more complicated stuff). Also, an electric field and potential difference of such a magnitude is actually easier to create than a magnetic field of that caliber. Magnetic fields are far harder to create in a sense than electric.

I feel like Buzz Killington by saying this stuff.
