Me and Rek are doing a collab, so that's going to be up soon, hopefully. :)

An Ideal World - Bleach

Alright, man, that sounds good to me.

Here are my answers.

here

Q: Would people like to be able to create unique histories and their own lore (royal families, factions, races) at some point in the RP?
A: If we're talking about an AU, I can see unique histories and own lore as a pretty sweet thing. :D Only seems logical.

Q: Would people like to have the chance to lead their own Arcs later in the RP?
A: Depends on the person and how the RP actually develops. I personally wouldn't mind it.

Q: As Bleach is a verse centered around conflict between factions and inviduals, it stands to reason that an RP based on it will also be as such. The question is, what races do people prefer to be playable? Shinigami, Arrancar, Quincy, Spiritually Aware Humans, etc etc.
A: As much as I know, rationally, that a lot of races can lead to things being overly convoluted, messy and/or out of balance - I am still A HUGE fan of Spiritually Aware Humans (like... one of the rare ones haha), as well as Quincies and Arrancars. It really goes down to personal preference. For the sake of balance, having one or two races to play with would be a lot easier, but you know. I am kinda biased on this one.

Q: Would people prefer the story's villain faction to be playable, or ought they be controlled by the GMs entirely--or is a middle ground best?
A: A middle ground would be preferable, I think. There is, once again, an easier path to take if the villain faction is controlled entirely by the GMs, but then again - I found it to be that more fun if there is some sort of a middle ground there, allowing more personalized stories and characters arc to develop around it.

Q: Should there be a limit to how many characters a player can make?
A: Ah, definitely. I've been in a quite a few RPs where one person had one character, whilst some other people had around 5 to 10 characters, because there was no cap. I don't mind having a two-three characters limit, but no limit at all can get out of hand pretty darn fast. It's a good way to go around having less people involved in the RP, but at the same time, I am just not digging the no cap method.

Q: ????
A: Ah, the toughest question yet. I'll get back to you on this one.

The Beauty and the Beasts

@Oasis You know you've been busy if you have to wait six months. SIX MONTHS. before replying in any shape or form. I definitely let you down! But fear not, Chi! I'm getting an unlimited access to the internet of the course of this next week. But before that comes, I'll have another surprise for you and that's an *hint hint* IC post.

I wanted to write that post first and then come back here and write this, but I am so sleepy, but eager to write something. Oh, but who knows, maybe I'll still post before you come online for the next time ^^ don't know how much you're even checking the site anymore.

tl;dr - thread revival super duper surprise!

What's the next course of action, once all the interactions for the day are done? Timeskip to the evening? :D Not rushing things or anything~~

An Ideal World - Bleach

Oh man, sweet, thanks for tagging me, long time no se- talk!

Will be joining the discussion tomorrow after college, that cool? I should get some beauty sleep now. :P

Huh, who would have thought that a suggestion as normal as 'talk' would bring forth such a good reaction. Eli might just make a mental note to do that sort of thing more often. Not all the time, of course, but every now and then wouldn't hurt. "You should've mentioned it, it's important to relax every now and then! Otherwise you'll burn yourself out," Coming from someone who basically relaxed only when he was too beat up to get up and do something, maybe his sentence didn't hold as much weight as it should have. Plus, he wasn't exactly known to make wise statements. "Details, details..." Eli thought to himself as he scratched the back of his head, grinning.

For the first time in a long while, though, he wasn't really feeling bad about not doing something incredibly adrenaline pumping. Maybe, just maybe, there was more to spending his time than indulging in crazy stunts, "Hm..."

"I know it's not very far, but shall we race to our usual spot?"

All the serious thoughts had slipped away at once, because now - now they were talking. Eli was never the one to decline a race. And he sure as hell wouldn't start being the one today. Besides, it was a short distance away, so what could go wrong? "Hah! I thought you would never ask." Eli proclaimed as he turned around and sprinted towards his glider. It was good having a friends like Rahna around. He waited for her to reach him before dashing towards the edge and jumping off. That familiar sense of happiness reared its head, before another sense pushed its way in. "Why do I feel like something's wrong?" he asked no one in particular as he felt the wind hit his face, noticing a white patch of something fuzzy in close proximity.

Oh yeah. He forgot to put his glasses on.

Again.

Y'know, let me be the first one to throw my name in the hat - in case someone wants to add me on skype. I believe grimmsome is my ID. You'll see the picture of a guy that looks a bit like a potato.

@shylarah Like all of us or just a few lucky ones? :P

Before Eli had a chance to pull it together and realize what was going on, Rahna had already pulled him out the door. "I never understood why you're so driven not to let me talk to your mom," he frowned, "I wouldn't embarrass you, y'know?" He beamed an amused grin when she mentioned the word 'race' and was almost ready to outlay the route he had in mind. He was about to start describing it when he noticed a patch of white on her forearm. In a flash, memories of their last race came back to him. He totally forgot about what had happened. "Oh right," the smile subsided for the moment, "Maybe we should... you know... take it easy for the day?" Eli himself didn't believe those words just came out of his mouth. And he was so hyped for the race, too. But the fact that she got hurt last time, because of him, remained. Of course, she would never openly say that it was his fault, but it was what it was. He felt really bad about it.

Getting himself in trouble, having to handle a couple of grazes, cuts and bruises, was fine. But injuring his friends? That was another story. "I could take a look at your glider, give it a bit more spin and control? We don't want a repeat of the last time. We have time 'till meeting Blin for lunch, so why not glide to the usual spot and..." And...

And...

And what? What do people do when they're not doing crazy stuff? Although they're not constantly doing crazy stuff, per se, Eli still manages to get them into some kind of trouble. So what was it that they could do? As he was thinking about it, he gazed at Rahna, his look absent. It took him a few moments, but he eventually realized that he probably could've ended the sentence at a better spot. This way it was open for interpretation.

And the last thing Eli would want in his life is a repeat of that dreadful situation. Code name: Aurora.

"Talk?" He carefully blurted out, as if he wasn't sure that normal people even do that anymore. As the answer soaked in, Eli finally exhaled - the sentence was politically correct. Phew.

"Yeah, talk - we could talk! I've got a couple of SkyKolas in my backpack, so we can kick back and relax." The smile returned to Eli's face after what was probably the longest time today that his smile was absent.

I'll be working on a post of my own once college and meetings are done for the day :D
