[OOC] Crossroads of Astas [High Fantasy]

[chukklehed]

Her whole purpose is pretty much in her senses. that and her coinpurse. She's not a fighter, she's not a mage, and the only other skills she has other than trading are her crafts. besides, it's not like she'll sniff you and know exactly where you've been for the last week, what you ate and when you slept. She can smell the presence of magic, certain aspects of it, and can differentiate between scents. I don't see how that's any worse than someone who can look like whatever they want, or who can turn into a maniacal killing machine.

[ManoftheNorth]

Yeah, I know it is a norm, but it is an unrealistic norm, which is sort of my point. I have grown over the years as a writer, and I tend to grow tired of some of the silly norms. Like the fact that there is always a single character, no matter who makes it, and no matter what rp it is in, but there is always one who is built to where there are never any secrets in a character's physiology.

[ManoftheNorth]

Well, the biggest thing, is sniffing Magic? How the does sniffing a force of nature work? Can you sniff gravity too? XD

Skender already got classified as a changeling, when he's prefer human. This is just the nature of most RPs, gender bender characters are discovered or suspected instantly, secret races are sniffed out or magically discovered just as quick.Anyone can eat people, few gain actual power from it...Have you made up a CS yet?

Working on it... Wait... How did you know?

[chukklehed]

I admit that she wouldn't know about the changeling thing, but i'm damn sure a wolfgirl can smell a wolf, even in human form. And it's not like she's going up and down the street yelling "THIS GUY'S A WEREWOLF!" she just knows about it, and she's not the type who gives away secrets.

If i didn't need to keep my characters history a secret, i would tell you all about it. for now let's just say that Luna and magic have a special relationship.

[ManoftheNorth]

Like I said Chukk, it is not so much about the character, as it is the fact that in every Rp, there is always a reason for a character, to know the secrets of other characters. Whether it be a character who knows the secrets of all of the others, or a series of characters who are somehow built to know the distinct secrets of certain other characters, it is just always a thing that happens in these sort of Rps, like Ursa1 said.

See, that is my point. She can have a secret, yet she is built specifically to where my own and Skender's secrets are easily revealed. That is the kind of backwards stuff that happens in every rp like this, that I think is unrealistically happening.

[chukklehed]

you know, i'm sorry the character i made upsets you for some reason, but it's not like she knows every goddam thing about him. so she knows he's a werewolf, so what? it's not like she discerned his entire life story by sniffing his hair. spending a day with her will have your character know she has a key and a coin that she holds onto religiously, that she can smell magic and taste the ingredients in a soup, can climb a vertical pipe and prefers hard liquor over beer. that's exactly the amount of information she will figure out about you. and i already said that she WOULDN'T have been able to figure out Skendar's secret so easily, that was a mistake. the only thing she would know is that he's not human.

About if you can actually steal people's abilities by eating their flesh? Don't tell anybody, but on the weekend, I go grave robbing...then I stalk the maternity wards, begging new mothers for a piece of that placenta! Nothing.

Ursa1, now?

Well, I had a character who could taste sounds before...but that was more of a disability on them, 'cause not a lot of sounds taste super great with other sounds.
I have no problem with her sensing Skender not being human since he kind of gives it away at moments...
Still, she isn't actually over-powered, but just a nuisance to certain characters. Skender could, still, cut her from the tip of her fluffy doggy ear to her groin, faster than she could use a potion.

[Lucius Cypher]

Oh yeah, I did sort of made that public... Well, not matter. Also wanting to chime in on this little conversation going on, but I feel that I should know better and allow the order to crumble for a moment.

[ManoftheNorth]

I am not upset Chukk, never have been. ^^ I am discussing it, I have not once been upset. I just find it tiring that no matter what type of rp it is, it is practically impossible to have a Secret Lycan. There is literally never an rp I have been in, in which a Lycan, mine or someone else's, was able to stay a secret.

All in all though man, I am really not upset. I am literally just talking it over, as a concept of writing. I am fine with it, I have grown use to it.

Also, yes Ursa, "You is Ursa 1, cause you is Major Ursa. :P"

*does a rain dance and summons the rain...in happiness*

Anyone have character themes yet?

[chukklehed]

oh, ok then. i'm gonna pretend i didn't get angry and start yelling at you then. don't worry, no matter how angry you make Luna she won't reveal your secret. mostly cause she can use it for blackmail.

[chukklehed]

Grace's theme is the song that inspired me to create her.

[ManoftheNorth]

XD Yeah, she can use it for Blackmail, so long as she remembers he enjoys being one, and will happily eat her, if need be.

Yeah, I have a theme in my head for Eriil. "Glory and Gore" by Lorde.

[chukklehed]

i mean, what? she's not a doll. nope, not a doll. where did you get that idea....

dammit, i'm bad at secrets when it's midnight.

[Lucius Cypher]

SO! Themes! I know a guy who did that. I had this song. Very silly.

[Major Ursa]

Jonathan Coulton. I love his song "Blue Sunny Day", the song about the depressed vampire.

[chukklehed]

Creepy Doll is by far his most serious song. Grace's character was built from that song, so a lot of her plot is based off of lines from it.

[Major Ursa]

Is she a doll animated by magic, or something?
>.>
Any plot twists should be discussed with the GM.
As for Skender's actual race...it's irrelevant, since he is a common race, and it won't effect much of the IC. His past is jumbled between a sick past, and a twisted perception of what may have been.
