I died and reincarnated into fantasy world- WHAT'S WITH THIS LIGHT NOVEL-LIKE SETTING!?!

@VitaVitaAROK, you don't like my post. Have your character react. Also, in my last sentence of the post, I did state that she didn't expect a good reaction. She's expecting to get hit and get yelled at. I based her off of what I wish I could get away with RL. The before-death character is me. Also, you don't need to pull the GM in on something that could easily be fixed IC.

I died and reincarnated into fantasy world- WHAT'S WITH THIS LIGHT NOVEL-LIKE SETTING!?!

First off: carving wood by hand is a CHORE among chores. My school has woodworking as a class, and I have a few friends in it. They are, for the most part, amateurs at the job, and even with advanced tools it takes a few hours to make even the simplest of things. I've also watched my dad work with wood in the past, and holy crap does it take a long time. Being able to suddenly generate a bow out of nowhere in what is comparatively much less time, from a person who, even in their past life, has done nothing to indicate the kind of ability to create such an item, feels contrived at best. Also, the bowstring being bark, while not inherently flawed, doesn't seem logical to even attempt to perform without the prerequisite knowledge...
Which, once again, I must mention that the character is not implied to have given the backstory that has been supplied.

@PKMNB0Y

I said she made a bow, not a good one, it won't likely last more than a few shots.

Next: Rabbit hunting with a rock. Okay, I don't know how someone could justify this without invoking a REALLY good throwing arm to brain the thing or the ability to avoid detection or MAGIC. What kind of rabbit would be killed by a person with a ROCK, of all things? Blunt trauma will hurt the little bugger, sure, but a) the character is mentioned to be in a forest, which means that spotting a rabbit in such a place is REALLY HARD because of all the foliage at ground level, and b) IT'S A RABBIT. In the wild, they're jumpy little buggers and run like hell. No way is someone gonna be able to kill them at melee range with hits from a rock. Unless the rabbit is, you know, THAT airheaded. Or dead already, but it's been stated to have been killed here. So. Yeah.

@PKMNB0Y

She used the poorly made bow to hunt the rabbit and I never said she got it on the first shot. I never said it was easy for her. I just said she killed a rabbit.

To follow: The quiver. Yes, you can make a quiver from tanned leather. No, you can't just skin an animal and jerry-rig it into a quiver without some kind of agent to sew/bind it together and just magically expect it to not get screwed over. Tanning hides, like a lot of things, takes TIME. A LONG time. Also, no mention of anything to clean up the blood and guts while doing so. Also, how the heck would your character have the skill to skin an animal in the first place? Or anything to let the skin keep its closed shape?
Oh right, and cooking also takes time. To say nothing of the fact that you're hacking away at a rabbit with a stone (which, you know, is a bloody mess no matter how you look at it), meat does not cook instantly. Unless it's being eaten raw, in which case I ask why the hell are you eating raw wild rabbit? The background you've given implies that your character spent a lot of time in an urban/suburban setting before their passing, which means that killing and carving up an animal isn't exactly something that you'd expect to be on their resume, if at all.

@PKMNB0Y

Again, I never said she did a good job at any of this. It's done. It's done very poorly but it's done.

And... Let's get to the biggest issue: the first action performed is to sexually harass a character. Like...
What?
I don't have any words. Just... What?
Seriously. That kind of action is not only morally ambiguous AT ITS ABSOLUTE BEST (which this case isn't), but it detracts from the enjoyment of other RPers. Vita's spoken up about the action in question, and though I cannot in any way share her circumstances as a heterosexual male, I DO understand that people feel uncomfortable about having their characters molested in front of them. This is no exception. This is not comedic in any sense, and I hate to see how this would pan out against the cast of characters as a whole in turn. This, in my eyes, is a character that does not interact well with the people we have set on stage. I cannot speak for the people RPing them (because I am obviously not them), but as far as I can extrapolate given what I've seen so far, a vast majority of them would likely disapprove of such a character being around them, for various reasons.

@PKMNB0Y

And I've already explained why. This is my character, through whom I can express actions that, in real life, would get me in trouble. If you don't like how my character is acting, have your character respond appropriately.

As a precautionary defense: my char has spent three days studying the language in-RP under people who know it, and the ability he has makes that process speed up because, well, learning. That doesn't mean he'll be able to wield a blade like a master swordsman or snipe a hawk from a hundred meters away with a bow if he learns from those people about their respective fields; knowledge doesn't necessarily mean that he'll be able to utilize it effectively, which is why he's effective a support for most of this RP as far as I can see. He's not going to be able to make tools in hours what would take more experienced men days; unless he develops his own methodology, Takeyoshi will almost assuredly be inferior to the original.

@PKMNB0Y

I didn't know that my character would have to learn a new language. And again, the stuff she made wasn't meant to last long, just until she could get a small amount of whatever the currency here to buy herself some weapons.

@VitaVitaARExcept 1 thing, I am a lesbian RL and, though I don't act like that RL, RPs are a place where I let out my inhibitions. If you don't like how my character acts, have your character respond.

@Pyromania99 I've had worse pictures before.

@AkayaofthemoonI'll try to find a time to help my friend out this weekend with his but IDK when I'll be able to start on mine, I have quite a few other things to do.

Waeldeshore: The Wars Beyond [DISCONTINUED]

@The Fated Fallen A friend pushing you off a chair for a bit of food is a lot different than a crush disappearing and betraying everyone. It's like comparing 10 Yen to 1000 Dollars.

This looks fun. My friend and I could take the last 2 spots. I'll be the Horse.

"This city is huge." Tanno said to herself as she walked down the street. All around her, the buildings were large but compact. There was metal everywhere, including on the police force, which she saw chasing a young boy through the streets. With precise aim, Tanno lifted a small brick right in front of the boy's foot, causing him to tumble and roll, allowing the police to catch him. By the time they had noticed the raised brick, Tanno was gone from the scene. "I need to find a hotel." she said with a yawn. "Sleeping on the ground isn't good for me."

Tanno hadn't noticed the man following her from a distance. He had seen her precise bending and knew she was going to be a good addition.

Unable to find a hotel on her own, she began trying to ask people that passed her, though nobody would stop and listen. "Sir, could you-... Ma'am, would you-... Excuse me, sirs-..." It went on for a few minutes before one man finally did stop. "Could you tell me where a hotel is?" Instead of answering, he handed her an envelope. "Is this a map?" she asked, but when she looked up, he was already gone. With a shrug, she opened the envelope, reading the message inside. It told her where to go though she didn't really know where that was.

After a couple more hours of traveling, she arrived at the building and proceeded to enter rather loudly. When questioned about the entrance, she held up the envelope with the White Lotus emblem. The motioned her through to the others, who seemed to be standing in front of a downward staircase.

Tanno eyed the staircase with a frown, moving past everyone to look it over. Despite being very tired, she knew they were a bit afraid of traps. "Hold on." she said, lightly pulling on the shoulder of the girl about to step down. She slammed her fist against the wall, focusing on the vibrations. Through this, she'd be able to tell if there were any traps, of which there were none. "Safe." she said, beginning her descent with a loud yawn.

Name: Tanno Bang

Bending ability if any: Earthbender

Birthplace: Ba Sing Se

Appearance: Tanno is a tall, slim, busty teenage girl with short, dark brown hair that she has styled in a spiky manner and forest green. She wears a juniper colored long sleeve shirt under an olive colored short sleeve shirt with chartreuse and shamrock designs running along the neck, the edge of the sleeve and the bottom and a pine colored line running along the buttons in the front. She also wears crocodile colored pants with a dark green, thin rope used as a belt and leaf green, ankle-high boots.

Age: 15

Backstory: Tanno was born and raised in Ba Sing Se by her mother, Yisa, and her father, Roke, until she was 8. Since her parents owned a bakery, she was often with her best friend, Tae, running around the neighborhood. One day, Tae got sick and couldn't get better. Tanno had stayed by her side the entire time, refusing to return to the bakery until her friend got better. Many doctors had been by to see the girl but none were able to help her. Being only 9 at the time, Tanno wasn't able to handle the loss of her friend and spent 2 weeks in her room, not coming out for anything. During that time, she barely ate and became sick herself. When the doctors came to visit her, she became angry. Many of the stones around the room began lifting around the doctors, proving the girl to be stronger than she seemed. Her parents were able to calm her down and help her get better. Five years later, she left home, looking to train with the best, Through her travels, she found many earthbenders who could give her tips and tricks but none who could truly teach her. While traveling, she had heard of both metalbending, which she had believed to be a myth until she had seen it firsthand, and lavabending, which she had never heard of before. Despite practice with both, she was unable to use either. After a year of traveling, she ended up in Republic City.

Gabriella opened her eyes to see herself falling. "Did it really work?" she asked herself, slowly spreading her wings behind her. However, because she didn't know how to use her wings yet, she merely opened them to slow her descent and glide to the ground, though still managed to face-plant into the ground. She landed on a prairie and looked around. "Great," she frowned with a sigh, "I'm alone in this strange world and I have no clue where to go." Looking over her shoulder, she got a sudden idea. She took off running and spread her wings, figuring she'd get some practice in before looking for other life. It took her a while and night began falling quickly before she actually took flight for more than a glide. She yelled in joy as she flew higher, almost too high for her, before turning into a dive, which she pulled out of only a few feet from the ground. Looking towards the setting sun, she landed at the edge of a semi-nearby forest. She didn't go in too deep but was able to collect enough wood to start a fire. It took her over an hour but she made her fire on the prairie near the forest hoping someone with weapons would come by. She wanted to sleep but figured it would not be the best time. Instead, she sat in a tree, watching the campfire she'd made. She knew that any monsters that came about, she could escape by flying unless they could fly too, and if she really had to, she could fight with her fists.

She awoke early the next morning and looked around frantically. She punched the tree, which hurt her hand and knocked her off balance, causing her to hit the ground with a thud. Looking to where the campfire had been, she sighed. If someone had come, she missed them. She grabbed a sharp rock from the ground to begin using it as a makeshift ax head on a tree branch that was the perfect length and thickness for a small bow. Using some of the strips of bark that she braided, she made a string and strung the bow, giving it a small test before she began to make arrows. Instead of feathers, she used leaves to give the arrows their flight. She knew the arrows wouldn't last more than a single shot each, and she only had 10 to start with, but doubted the bow would last longer than five shots. "Now a quiver." she said to herself, looking around. "And some food." she sighed, rubbing her growling stomach. It didn't take long for her to find a rabbit, but it took hours to catch and kill it, even with her having basic archery. She was delightfully surprised her bow lasted the seven shots it took to corner and kill the rabbit. Once that was done, she began using the same rock she'd cut the branch with to skin the animal, which she cooked on a new campfire, before using its skin, now with a few holes and not tanned, and more strips of bark to make a small, crude quiver.

With her bow made and her belly full, the winged elf took to the sky, towards a city she had seen the day prior while trying to teach herself to fly. While flying to the city, she took in a mental map of what she could see. Behind her, to the east, was the forest and south of that was the prairie she'd landed in originally. "This is strange." she said, looking off in the north. "This world looks medieval." She took in more of the land, carefully memorizing the basics of what she saw before reaching the city.

She landed in front of the gates a couple hours before high noon and walked in cautiously. With the streets being rather packed for her tastes, she took flight again, though only to fly slowly over everyone's heads. It was while she was flying she saw a cute girl talking to a young boy with a basketball. Distracted by the girl, she didn't know she was about to run into a sign until she hit it, causing her to fall to the ground. "Ow," she moaned before climbing to her feet. She looked towards the girl again, smiling.

She strode into the building with a smile, her bow and quiver hanging from her wing. She wrapped an arm around Ranca's shoulders, smiling at her. "Hello, cutie, want to have some fun?" she asked with a grope of the girl's chest. She didn't expect a good reaction but couldn't stop herself from trying to flirt.
