Are we doing real locations or fake locations? I ask because I'm having trouble with some of these map coordinates.

Also I am bad at maps.

VitaVitaAR said @Darcs: My issue here is that the descriptions still don't convey what they actually do. Increases defense could mean they get huge suits of armor, or that they get some kind of magical shielding temporarily. "Enemies more susceptible to physical attacks" doesn't really mean anything outside of a context like a video game where enemies can have strict weaknesses and resistances. Unless it's heavily armored or incorporeal, everything's going to be susceptible to physical attacks, and armor can be weakened or worked around. I don't know how these apply to a prose RP at all.

VitaVitaAR said I don't really know how "lowers attack damage" and stuff like that applies to a prose-based RP.

"A specific fatigue wears on those affected by the hex, they find themselves unable to effectively wield their weapons, they miss more, and the attacks they do land aren't nearly as strong as they would be if they were at full strength. A dark aura impairs magic of any enemies of Isi and her party, combined with the fatigued physical attackers, they find their opponents attacks do less."

It was really a brevity thing, I don't particularly write a unique, fluffed up description for each attack, when I'm going to need to do the same thing, unique to context, every time she uses an incantation in the RP.

Ada

Appearance: Ada is a figured woman, with a skinny hourglass shaped standing at around 5' 9', to emphasize her lithe form she wears primarily black and darker colors. Preferring black skinny jeans and black knee socks over leggings. She's usually seen in a practical even toned shirt and dark jackets that are more style than anything. She has a seemingly endless supply of sports bras, and one good, reliable pair of converse, as far as accessories, she has a trusty school backpack and an unseasonably warm page boy cap, she's never seen without it, tucking her hair in, could giver her a more androgynous, masculine appearance, if she ever decided to go easy on the Gothic make-up.

Name: Ada Cinet
Age: 23
Skill: General people skills, improvisation, free running, looting, knowledge in the areas of science, psychology and history
Weapon: Unarmed

Personality: Ada is sensitive and strong. She has empathy and believes in the good nature of people; preferring to investigate a problem and find as many situational factors and contexts as possible before making her own judgement. She also has wildly radical beliefs and will fight for her own beliefs, as well as those of others. Her mood at any given moment could be influenced by a variety of things-- mostly music, though, and her methods are as erratic as the genres she listens to. Ada believes strongly in using history's mistakes to guide us, as well as staying open, both to people and to all the possibilities of the unknown. Ada gives some credit to Louisianan Voudou. She has potential, and her being aware of this may sometimes lead to her being cocky, or even hindering action, but overall, she's a good, cunning and quick person.

Brief Bio: Ada, born on Louisiana's coast to a Creole mother and a Cuban father, is the result of what happens when a man leaves a woman, one who can barely take care of herself, with a child. Both of Ada's parents were unprepared for her coming into the world, really-- they themselves raised in tumultuous households-- they couldn't give the baby what she properly needed to grow, they were still children themselves. Ada's father left her and her mother when she was barely 4, left as a bastard for her mother, the woman turned to drugs, relying on family to help raise Ada as she herself resigned to a drug fueled existence. Despite this, the two were close, her mother's employment was always temporary and so she and Ada moved around Louisiana, leaving little in the way of making friends at school. To compensate for this, Ada instead grew close to the places she was, learning of the lore, legends and history of locations, taking it to heart as she grew.

When Ada was 7, her mother, now having moved throughout the south and settling westward in California for a few years, gave birth to a younger brother, who would become Ada's best friend. When she was 14, her mother got arrested and Ada and her little brother lived with distant relatives in Nevada. This was the first period of real stability in Ada's life, and it was the first point she had been presented conventional parenting, while living with these relatives in Nevada, her world view was expanded even more with constant trips and vacations, as well as better schooling-- while she and her younger brother didn't like the people who were taking care of them, they did like what they were doing for them.

5 years later, Ada, 19, found herself to be a much more open, intelligent, and free thinking individual, all of the characteristics of punk, hippie, counter-culture, beatnik and burnout. She would consider herself to be something of a syncretist, with many of her philosophies clashing with the current American system and societal ways and beliefs. She wanted anarchy, but tried to work within the system to change it. She was over her own mother, she still loved her, but she didn't have the time or energy to be mad at her as she got out of jail. Ada had to devote all of her energy to college, she found the American University system trite and needlessly traditionalist.

At the age of 22, the anti-capitalist, the anarchist Ada, having isolated herself from her family, flunked out of school, preferring to follow Emma Goldman and Diogenes the Cynic and make her own path.

She did this, more or less, by being homeless, sleeping either with family or friends-- or simply under the open sky. The similarity between her current life and her mother wasn't lost on her. Then the apocalypse happened.

Huh.

I actually don't know...

VitaVitaAR said @Darcs: Okay, um, my only remaining issue is that some of these seem a little "video-gamey"? Mostly Concussion, Jinx, Voodoo, Wrath, though Hex a little too. If you can figure out a way to make these sound more like they fit into a world rather then a video game then they're fine.

Gave the names the spacial/fantasy theme that Isi's character has as well as polishing a few of the descriptions, put it as 'abilities' under my CS.

You guys, I think this is the hardest I've ever worked to be accepted into an RP. I need sleep.

My younger brother got me sunglasses, which are pretty neat. Didn't get anything else, but I honestly didn't want much. I'm not particularly high on the societal class rungs, but I'm pretty comfy.

But I am totally still holding out hope someone will get me a ferret. They're2cute4me
