The light being more numerous sounds fine to me. We will meet your numbers with unimaginable demonic powers!

@Leslie Hall

He also has tons of other powers that make superhuman physical traits mostly moot.
@IcePezz

The increased strength is totally fine and not grounds to be called op. Just a lot of characters have increased strength and I can only imagine that it means different things for different characters, but between all of them, again including my own, the sheets will just say increased strength. Maybe I should fix some of that. that. As far as being op is concerned, there is definitely a power disparity between characters, particularly between the inner circle of the dark side and most light characters. this is not a problem so long as the players don't use their stronger characters to just outright murder everyone.

Anyway to all that notice this whose characters are above average in strength, what were you thinking when you wrote it. I know I wanted raven to be able to grab people by the ankles and throw them tens of feet. Oh and to be able to dribble people, hitting them so hard into the ground they rebounded to get hit again. Maybe he shouldn't be that strong, but that would also highlight why this is a good conversation to have.
What is this, people want to talk to me and I let it go over an hour? I must be slipping.

@Esterdi

I feel like Sharp and Sariel could agree on the ends, just not the means.

@IcePezz

I guess I'll just go through and disjointedly point out anything that sticks out in my mind. I do not guarantee that I will catch everything or even anything useful or relevant. Though that is the intent. Oh and the usual I hold no power here that I always find myself saying.

Her powers section reads "The blood bound to hers is that of an ancient beast, or so they've been told. But it has given her enhanced senses and increased strength. One other odd occurrence, when faced with her enemies up close, she is able to instill fear and doubt." Three things bother me here. they've been told? Do you mean she's been told or is their something I am missing? Secondly, the second sentence, I am not sure what "One other odd occurrence" has to do with the rest of the sentence. It seems like you changed what you wanted to say part way through and never fixed it. Anyway, the last point here is that its starting to bother me how little a frame of reference we have for increased physical strength across all the characters that have such an ability. And yes I say this knowing full well that both of my characters are inhumanly strong and said superhuman strength is not defined on either one's character sheet. Don't feel like you need to jump on that last one, I know I'm in no hurry.

Assuming your character ends up being with the Galuntrung Rangers it would make sense for the trading city in her bio to be Merandin, the only notable city in that area of the map. As a side note if Liara ends up spending any time in or near the White Woods, which assuming she get's in with the Galuntrung ranger's she would, then Liara will know of my character Raven. Though she would know him as The Revenant of the White
Woods, a two decades old undead of incredible power mindlessly walking around the woods. You don't fuck with him cuz he'll steal your soul, but he's easy enough to track and avoid when he's mindless. Of course recently he just got up and left to go join the dark army. You don't have to update your character to include Raven, but you personally should be aware of it.

Again a thing that does not have to change, but I don't think this word has public schooling available to all the poor of the land. I don't think anything has been written to the contrary though so I'll leave that up to you or a higher power to think about.

Oh, she left on a boat? Oops. There goes the Merandin suggestion from earlier. I guess Liara would be from out of the Kingdom then. At least as far as our map would suggest.

Anyway hopefully something in that is useful and doesn't convince you to leave. I seem to occasionally have that affect.

As a side not to everyone who's still here from the interest check. Remember when we thought there were too many evil characters?
@Esterdi

Good luck with that by the way. I mean ultimately you can be successful, but it will take a lot of work. The light side because there are quite a lot of them and the dark because they require some conditions to be met before they can be killed.

@IcePezz

Do you intend to be part of Kalar Splint's Rangers?
@The_written_John

That is not what I am saying. I am not concerned. My character would be. That is not a bad thing. In fact it can be quite a good thing. STAY. Unless White Feather tells you to go.
@The_written_John

This satisfies me, but it will never be enough =P

I said some things last time and then only presented one, so here are those other things. They are not necessarily reason to change anything about your character especially as I stress often, I hold no power here.

When it came to Lethonel the word I had to describe how Sariel felt about him was proud, but in the case of Alistair I think the proper word is concerned. Sariel is concerned that Alistair is to focused on war, concerned about his seemingly quick shift from a angry hotblooded teenager to an old beyond his years cynic, concerned that he does not have the appreciation for the lives of the common folk that he needs to lead the Kingdom.

We will also have to come up with a reason why the first born son is not the heir to the thrown, but I am willing to put off burning that bridge whenever someone makes an eldest prince. Or whenever this get's started. speaking of which... @White Feather When is this starting?

Anyway, again its not reason to alter your character, just an observation and a future issue.
@Major Ursa

I am not your senpai. I hold no power here. I just have nothing better to do and post a lot, but I promised complaints, so let's go throw stones from glass houses shall we. Going down the list. She has a lot of weapons. Is she good with all of them? I know she at least isn't a spectacular Crossbowman but what about the rest. Why does she use so many weapons despite her noble stature not necessarily requiring it of her and her gender suggesting she would have other interests. Is it normal for members of her house to train in weapons? Is it normal for both genders to do so? We don't know why she's immune to magic and maybe we aren't supposed to, but I'm pointing it out anyway. I actually feel like most of her talents make sense or add a small bit of character. The exception being her swordsmanship, but I've already asked a few questions about that. Why does she speak so candidly despite being a noble? All of this could be explained in a more expanded backstory and I would be quite interested in seeing a finished product like that.

another thing to think about is how she relates to the latent corruption of the nobility.

But yeah throwing stones from glass houses because my character sheets are not the best, but I promised complaints and have nothing better to do.
@The_written_John

Some things. Is it possible for your character to be at least two years younger? possibly by regressing his development or just by making him 19.
I say this because Sariel would not of had Kids until he was at least twenty given his backstory. So the eldest son would be 20 at maximum. Alternatively I can just make Sariel at least 42, but then I actually have to go edit my perfectly good and already accepted work and who would ever want to do that.

Now I need to go read another bio and think of something to complain about.
@Apollosarcher

As far as I, the person dropping out, am concerned, go right ahead.
@TheIrishJJ

Its fine. Trust me. I was only passingly interested in this one and mostly because it was one of the only rp's I saw that even achieved that much over several days. However, since then there have been a few others that have caught my I and I definitely need to make some cuts. Besides, my post in the interest check I believe said "maybe". So take.
