@Rusalka

Sorry to disappoint, but it seems we're all reasonable human beings here who just misunderstood each other due to our inititial inabilities to properly communicate our concerns with each other's statements. AKA it's done *dons hunters cap, lights pipe and nods* Quite done

Indeed, I heard nothing about this roleplay being turned into a comic unless you talked about it on the Etherpad. Calling bullsh-t until there's evidence for it. First things first, let's take things Fonz-cool. Avalant, it is good to find inspiration from other sources. Nothing is original. Everything is inspired by something inspired by something else. If you apply a magic touch of personal creativity, however, your character may seem more like a "inspired by X, except with noticeably unique quirks" rather than "inspired by X." Also, no matter how aggressive criticism may be, thinking about how to let your character pass off as an acceptably unique character would definitely please not only the Co-GM, but the GM as well. Destiny is a very, very nice GM (compared to me, who could act like a super duper butterfly-killing machine), but GMs like Destiny would probably be happy if the Co-GM's advice makes characters more unique. So both of you, be Fonz-cool and chill. Not all Character Sheets are accepted instantly, but there's no need to go ham when they are declined the first time.

@NarayanK

Yes, we must accept the Fonz.... to be the Fonz is to be cool like the Fonz :D Like I said, I'm not taking anything personal, just pointing out what I perceived as "unreasonable" in the best light. I'm open to constructive criticism with reasonable claims. So then what should I change? I want to keep the basic concept of the powers, particularly the rats as it ties into what I have planned for various reveals of the backstory to my character and such. Any suggestions on how to alter the powers a bit more? I'm already workin on new names.

My point is that I disapprove. And honestly I had hoped you would have been a better person than let a little criticism cause you to behave like that. My job as Co-GM isn't like usual, where I would only be here to enforce the rules. I've taken on the job the GM doesn't want, which is pointing out all the flaws in a character or in a person's behavior. It's not a job I particularly like, but it's one I can do. I would hope you wouldn't take such things personally, as it's the mark of a bad player to become so defensive right off the bat.

@chukklehed

I'm not taking it personal. It's just that your criticism is unreasonable. I mean how was I supposed to know that about the comic plan? Does that not strike a bit out of the blue? Take, for a moment, my position as I see it as I will give you the benefit of the doubt you may not understand how it may be a bit annoying for me to recieve that response. I see this neat, fun looking RP that has a very casual, laid back air to it. I get the green light to make a character and after a bit of brainstorming I go "Those powers from Dishonored are pretty cool if I remember correctly and there not you're usual "Shoot fire, levitate" stuff so Ima base my character around that unique form of "Dark Magic". Make the CS, and I realize that the powers from Dishonored were, understandbly, a bit overpowerd. So after a bit of playing around with ideas, making adjustments, and deviating here and there from canon, I finally feel satisfied that I had made it fair and even a bit more original. Thus I then go and post it, then BOOM! For the first time I have ever seen in my entire time roleplaying both here and Iwaku, someone goes off on "plagerism" as if I had just openly claimed it was all totally original and my idea (which if that were the case, it would have been completely justified). To say the least you caught me off guard. Look, I'm just here to have fun and play around. If you guys are really gunning for that comic, than I would love to read it if you got something out there. If not, then I'm still plenty willing to change around the powers. Just don't go around acting like I just fucking ripped everything from the game and claimed it to be mine. The powers are the only issue here anyway. Also, internet debates are hard to type from my phone.... XD

Orean Cause (Moved to a new thread)

I despise characters who are partially or entirely based of a non original character because: A. It's unoriginal. You should be able to come up with your own powers and still be interesting. B. Even then, people rarely if ever play another creator's content right. People start arguing about how it's "supposed to work" but nobody is ever right, because the only person who can tell you how it's SUPPOSED to work is the person who MADE it. C. It's plagiarism, so if you do that you can't turn the RP into any kind of publicized work like a comic. Which we're planning to do with this RP. I can't fully deny your character, because I'm only the Co-GM, but it definitely has my disapproval.

@chukklehed

Well then! Under better circumstances I would be happy to find someone who is also enough of a fan of "Dishonored" to recognize those powers, but seeing how you have such "strong" feelings of "plagerism" then oh well. I shall await the GM's approval then. In my defense I did not claim that those were completely original powers, and I feel justified in the lengths I went to carefully balance them and explain them as the reference they are from is somewhat hard to pull out specific details. I have no intention of having stupid internet fangirl/boy debates about "how it's suppose to work" nor have I ever encountered them, so I will say they work very similar but not to point. Besides, I'm here to have fun and not take things that fucking seriously. I love character building, interactions, ect. and never play to "win", or that bullshit that some people pull. Anyway, there was also no statement about turning it into a comic at in the OOC's original post, so.... what? What's your point? Oh, and shall I also change my Theme Song since I did not write or record the music for that? Perhaps the image too?

Orean Cause (Moved to a new thread)

Oh and welcome Avalant ^_^ Cool sig! Reminds me of Ace Combat

@Rusalka

You are correct! Assault Horizon to be specific. (Shut up, I liked it!) XD As you can all tell, the CS is done! Few!

Name: Carva Attania Nickname: Just Carva or Carv if you're that fucking lazy.... Age: 18 Gender: Female Powers: Carva is what is known as a "Atema des Nichtons" or simply a "Atema". It came thousands of years ago from the depths of the dark forests of central Europe. The translation is of older Germanic origin meaning "The breath from nothing" The magic's true origins is unknown, but the aura they seem to generate usually disturbs and is unnerving to people who can sense it. Nobody is sure what to truly classify it as since there are rarely any Atema to begin with. Whatever they may be, the few facts that remain are that they can be highly dangerous, deadly individuals who exhibit a frighteningly flexible form of magic. Carva has yet to fully uncover the extent of her abilities. The ones listed are the few she has figured out so far she has. -Hantuia- This is the magical ability to phase from one spot to another without making a sound, usually instantly. Hantuia's effectivness is dependent on two factors, first and foremost is the awareness of the victim. The user of Hantuia can phase right up next to someone so long as they are literally out of sight. If the victim keeps their eyes fixated on the user, the user can not phase very close to the victim. However, this can vary due to factor number two, skill level. A highly skilled user of Hantuia can phase out of sight of the victim and simply keep phasing until they are right behind the victim. However, Carva is still fairly a novice at this new found ability, and thus her phase abilities do not allow her to travel longer distances nor through solid objects as well as practically nullified if spotted by the victim (Still pretty freakin terrifying). Often when she phases, it looks as if she turns to ash then vanishes. -Leereva Atema- A magical ability that manipulates the air around her, causing a pressure wave that can knock down or even crush foes. A strong user of the ability could smash victims to pulpy bits by blasting them against walls with this "Death's Whisper" ability. Carva could knock you off your feet, but not much else. Though she never really uses it as an offensive type of magic. By manipulating the air to some degree, she can boost her jump height and length slightly (only a foot or two for now, as she is still experimenting), increasing her options when parkouring. - Atemzügeer Günstling- The magical ability to summon forth a dark fog. This dark fog engulfs the victim it is caste on and consumes the victim until he/she is nothing but a bloodstain on the ground. The various factors of how the victim consume and how fast is determined based on how skillful the user is with the ability. The higher the skill, the more control the user has over the dark fog. Unlike Carva's other abilities.... she has practically mastered this one. Her fog could devour only your skin if she so desired. It is by far one of the most shocking and cruel powers she possess, something she seems to always hide... Skills: She is highly athletic due to her love for parkour. She can easily climb up buildings, preform graceful maneuvers in mid air and generally move swiftly compared to your average Joe... which ain't sayin much when she attends a school with a hidden side for magical and supernatural humans and beings. However, she is no athlete, thus doesn't compete in any official capacity nor enjoys watching/playing sports all that much. If you were to ask Carva, the answer would be simply: "It's good exercise and a lot of fun!" While not highly academic, she's still pretty smart. Or more accurately put, she is someone with an open mind who is more than willing to learn something new, a skill not many seem to learn or use. Now then, killing peo- I mean "Self Defense!". A personal favorite of Carva! (I mean she mastered summoning man eating fog christ sake, what do you think this girl is into? Cooking?). Now she isn't some sort of psycho killer who loves to watch people die painful deaths (OR IS SHE!?), but if one were to observe her fighting style... let's just say she takes no prisoners. It would be a strange mix of similar fight training you could read in FBI handbooks and special operation manuals, both of which focus on "Immobilizing" the opponent. This usually gives her a clear advantage over anyone who focuses on Martial Arts as it no sort of rules, codes, or training holds her back. Bullies don't get sent home with a black eye, bullies get sent to the hospital with 8 months of both physical and mental therapy of recovery..... Just don't fuck with her. (NOTE: While I reference that her style takes from that used by Spec ops guys, I'm not sayin she was trained by soldiers or some super bullshit, just that it is much more practical based survival fighting as opposed to conventional form based fighting styles) Hobbies: Parkour, video games(preferably strategy), aerospace stuff, and stargazing. Personality: Carva is a straight forward, open type of girl who is generally good natured and friendly to most. She can be a good friend to have, someone who will back you up, or simply pick you back up, prop you on your feet, and send you the right way. This is all very odd, given the nature of her abilities and her... bloodthirsty magic type, but she seems to take it in stride. At her core, she is a skeptical person, always asking questions, never taking things to be as they are. However, if anyone pays attention, they may see something. Some tragic sadness that hovers over everything she does or says. Maybe its the look in her eyes or the way she carries herself. Whatever it may be, nobody can shake the feeling that there is some sort of sad little girl, hidden by that friendly grin. Background: Not much could be found on her. Some say she had a family at one point, but something happened and now nobody can find who her true parents were. There was one document, a medical report from a hospital revealing she has a sister, but there is yet to be any other confirmation of that. For now we shall just watch her, and see what she has to reveal. If anything, she seems to be attending this school to find out if she's the only Atema currently out there right now... Theme song: "All Along the Watchtower by Jimi Hendrix, remastered for Wolfenstein, New Order" Clubs: Aerospace Club Dreams: "In my dream... I smell pancakes... I'm in a kitchen, sitting at a table. A woman stands at the stove. She says something, but I can't make it out.... And I see someone.... I think I see someone.... These things, none of it for me. I'm moved by the screams inside of me. Among the demons of men..."

Ahh! So that's what it meant! I got tripped up by the OCC instead of OOC. XD I feel a bit dumb now for not making the connection sooner!

Orean Cause (Moved to a new thread)

Heh, alright. I shall post a CS soon. Should I post it here for review then post it in the character section or just post it in the character section?

Orean Cause (Moved to a new thread)

Hello fellow RPers! Mind if I join in to this? Or is it, perhaps, full?

The Dawn of Tomorrow's World(A Dieselpunk Nation Roleplay)

Uuugh! Finally posted! I decided to break it up into a little sub section for some character development on both ends. This way I don't post a wall of stuff for you to fill in with Kleiner's view point of the story and we can break it up a bit. Feel free to point out if I come off as controlling or anything.
