[OOC] Underlake: An Othertale

[Guardian Angel Haruki]

@Major Ursa I have an idea for Lorelei that I'd like to pitch.

I was thinking that after a Genocide Route fight with her, she would sing a Swan Song before she dies and becomes dust, which would result in making every monster battle after hers hardmode battles (and if they were already hardmode battles, then they would be twice as difficult. What do you guys think?

[Kafka Komedy]

@Guardian Angel Haruki Well then wouldnt it... Not be a "hardmode" so much as normal genocide run progression?

Also what the hell is hardmode anyways? Like, in this RP. Would it shift combat in the Monster's favor? Make things grittier and darker?

But i do like the idea of the monsters getting harder after Loriel's death, i just dont think it should be called hardmode

Also i need to get Sys and Ash some themesongs. Ash has a direct source material so hell be easy but ill have to find something for System

[Eviledd1984]

@Major Ursa

Okay i will do that thank you.Sorry for troubling you guys.

[Kafka Komedy]

So before I write up Ash's "Genocide" section I wanna ask a few questions.

So humans going down the genocide path instakill most monsters right?
In this RP will any monsters absorb human souls?

[Draconequis]

@BCTheEntity

im working on her right now, might take me a bit to find a theme song and battle theme, but i will get them up probably by tomorrow.

[BCTheEntity]

@Kafka Komedy Given that monsters are arranged in Undertale to increase in overall strength as the human gets closer to escape, then yes, the vast majority of monsters in Genocide mode are going to be OHKOed (likely with titanic amounts of overkill damage) by a human that has taken to obsessively slaughtering them all beyond the first few. And yes, any monster can absorb a human soul to increase their power, as far as I'm aware.

[BCTheEntity]

Oh, you know what also occurred to me just now, which I have to put into a new post to make sure that @Major Ursa sees it? Eeeeeeeeeeee could have Purple magic instead of Green, and it might actually make more sense because then the target is actually "trapped" by Trap Mode, and can't even attack if they wanted to. But then again, it doesn't matter if they can't attack, because Eeeeeeeeeeee is intangible and can't be injured by most things, and I believe induced Shield Mode prevents escape anyway? (I'd assume the Green and Purple Souls can run away from fights normally, especially since Green's primary trait is kindness; if we go with what I suggested for the Cyan Soul and Patience Mode, the same would presumably apply to the Cyan Soul.) The point is, I'm not sure what would make for a better fight. Or, for that matter, if I should actually include both of those types of magic in his character sheet and have him alternate between them periodically, though given that the majority of Undertale's monsters know zero to one magic types, two might be pushing it a bit. So let's put this to a vote of sorts. Should Eeeeeeeeeeee's magic colour be:
A. Green, for Shield Mode;
B. Purple, for Trap Mode; or
C. Both?
Place your votes now, people.

[Major Ursa]

@Guardian Angel Haruki
I like the idea? But I think we need to clarify boss battles.

@Kafka Komedy
Hardmode means the fights are more difficult, faster, and possibly unfair...it almost feels like every monster battle is a whole boss battle in it's own right...and then there would have been actual puzzles to solve, but I feel like puzzles tend to lead to straight up falling death traps in this, so standard mode for now.

But yes, if the human is of the right level, I might add, or catch the monster off-guard when attack...and most monsters don't expect a human to have LV 10+.

Alright, I gotta go out for a bit, but I'll probably have a better answer when I return.

[BCTheEntity]

@Major Ursa I feel like you've missed the stuff I've tried to get your attention on. I'm just gonna requote myself to make certain you've noticed the modifications I've made to Eeeeeeeeeeee...

EDIT: Okay, so I updated Eeeeeeeeeeee's character sheet to account for how his Genocide fight is relatively tougher than his normal fight. The Hard Mode fight probably doesn't have the super cereal music unless it's also Genocidal in nature, though it will be proportionately harder due to him being even more of a chatterbox. Please confirm that this is alright, @Major Ursa.

@BCTheEntity

Lorelei has purple magic, so I would say go with Green for Shield Mode. ^^"

@Major Ursa OK. ^_^

[BCTheEntity]

@Guardian Angel Haruki Seems legit. I'll keep that in mind if it comes to a close and/or tiebreak situation. By the way, folks, we're still waiting on a few people to begin their posting schedules.

[Kafka Komedy]

Yeah i would say green too
Ill try and write up Ash's Genocide section tonight. Tomorrow i should have access to my regular computer too.

[Draconequis]

@BCTheEntity

definitely like the idea of going with shield mode ^>^ i feel like trap mode doesn't fit him as well.

Finally updated Xaria's sheet to have her theme and battle music :D yay for Lindsay Stirling XD

[BCTheEntity]

@Draconequis I like the music choice, particularly the fact that her normal theme almost sounds like it could be battle music on its own. I guess that was the intent, to imply that she's always on the verge of aggression or something? Anyway, it looks like it's going to definitely be Green magic alone for Eeeeeeeeeeee, and I'm going to ask @Major Ursa about this one more time before assuming that he's completely okay with it, given the lack of response: since your initial approval of his character, I have modified Eeeeeeeeeeee to possess Green magic that he only uses when he's actually fighting somebody in a "super cereal" serious situation, i.e. when facing off against a Genocidal human who he wants to deliberately kill, rather than accidentally injuring them without realising by being too chattery as he normally would; is this alright, or should I remove the Green magic from his profile?

[Draconequis]

@BCTheEntity It was absolutely the intent. ^.^ im so glad that it came across that way. it took waay too long to find music that fit her personality honestly

[BCTheEntity]

@Draconequis Well, you did a good job, then. Really, all of the theme songs so far on all of the characters who have them are pretty fitting, but yours is the most recent, and particularly well-suited to her as I previously stated. So yeah.

[Guardian Angel Haruki]

I just got the Themes for Skylar up. ^^" (It was hard deciding which songs would best suit a pacifist, but it is done. I really don't expect them to be played too often though. ^^)

EDIT: Never mind...^^"

[Draconequis]

@BCTheEntity

thank you so much ^>^

@Guardian Angel Haruki I was not expecting an undertale song. Which is strange because this is an undertale RP XD

[BCTheEntity]

@Guardian Angel Haruki Apparently one of her songs is Asriel's theme. Or battle theme, whatever it is. Alright, sure. And whilst that is a surprisingly good song, I already have stuff for Rodney that I feel is more fitting, not least because it remains instrumental in nature. Also, The Man With The Golden Gun. How can you not think that's appropriate for a gun-wielder associated with the colour yellow?

[Kafka Komedy]

While we're talking about themes, would you guys mind helping me pick Ash's genocide theme? Just tell me which of the two there you like more.
