I am still on RPG, so do feel free to message me. Just don't have the time or energy to actually join any RP's right now. Focusing on a LOT of other projects, including getting into Audio Drama.

Sorry for disappearing for 2 months. Life kinda went to shit and RPG was pushed to the back of my mind.

CS:


Alright, i made the changes that you requested... Or at least, i think i did, it's 2am here.
@Keyblade87 Sure, i'd be more than happy to lead for the glory of Zeon and the freedom of Spacenoids everywhere. Do i get a funky mask?
Alright, thanks, i'll get to work with the edits, then.
I am really badly torn, i'd love to play as an aquatic Zeon suit, mainly because my favourite suits include Z'Gok, Kapool, Acguy and Hygogg, But i suspect that the ocean battles will be few and far between. That being said, if special suits are allowed, then Sazabi is another favourite, but i suspect that it's because it's the bastard offspring of 2 of my favourite space suits, Quebeley and Gelgoog
Fandoms:

I am always up for Gundam. Recently rewatched the UC stuff.
@CaptainSully 's why i'm asking.
@Weird TalesIf there is a cap on Saiyans, does that include my character?
@Weird Tales Alright, that's fair. But you didn't answer the question of would it be alright to just drop Zhao down to an NPC?

@Double Oh, i agree with the part about people not wanting to be in an RP where there is one guy who refuses to lose, but i just don't think there are specific character builds in freeform RP's that are inherently overpowered, just people who play their character as overpowered. My description of "Overpowered" in rp's like this is "Character played by someone who clearly wants a power fantasy, mostly at the cost of everyone else's ability to enjoy the game." Rule of narrative is important. It's why the Justice League works, when Superman is clearly superior to everyone else combined, because his player knows that, when he needs to take a shitkicking, he'll take that shitkicking. If you disagree, i won't tell you that you are wrong, but that's my opinion on the matter, you are free to take it or leave it.
@Double Look, i respect our differing opinions on the matter, but i would rather not get into an argument with you in chat, so i will simply post my usual rebuttal to arguments along these lines:

RP's like this are less of a game and more of a group story-telling activity where we work together to try and amuse ourselves and each other with characters encountering situations as set out by the GM. Plenty of people argue over what is and is not an "Overpowered character" when the answer is simple. In freeform RP's, there is no such thing as an overpowered character, just someone who wants to play an overpowered character. OP characters are created when someone decides to start ignoring the rules of narrative, one of the key rules being "If character X needs to lose a fight to character Y, then they will do so, regardless of how much stronger character X is." E.G. If Broly needs to lose a fight to Krillen in order to facilitate the narrative, then Broly's going to lose.
