Current My roleplay is all tabletop these days, and the part of the guild I used to hang out in doesn't exist anymore. To my friends from this site, I will think of you, and maybe I'll see you again someday.

To my friends from chat: I guess I'll see you around, since I'm still not using discord.

I don't actively RP on the site these days, but I might be convinced to come back if there's a cool fantasy or sci-fi group RP that can capture my interest. Catch me on Second Life, Wildstar, or Chat.

My life has gotten really chaotic. I'll be back to RPing when I can.

I need a good generic fantasy RP, but I can't find one.

Could be interesting. What sort of age range were you thinking of? I tend to avoid RPs where the cast is kids who have crazy skills beyond their years.
Journey. If you're looking for PS3 games, get Journey. It's really cheap on the online store, and it's one of the better examples I've seen of how games could count as art. It's fantastic, even if it's fairly short. Lair is kinda fun, the ability to use motion controls so much really makes the controller feel like a pair of riding reins.
You should probably stop accusing me of having a bias if this is how you respond. Hello pot, I'm kettle. How are you.
You're the one making ad-hominem attacks rather than actually responding to my point. You haven't provided a scrap of evidence for any of your claims. You made a few statements, but you never actually explained why any of your points could hold merit. He's a symbol of what humanity should be? He's not even human. It's not even particularly impressive that he goes and does heroic stuff, since he's almost never at risk by doing those things. He could walk into a burning building without any of the risks involved. He could rescue trapped divers without any equipment. He could single-handedly trounce a small army before they could threaten an area. He is never at notable risk, and that's part of what makes him not a good symbol of what humanity should be. To put yourself on the line, to risk personal injury while doing these things, that's a big part of what makes a hero heroic. Any of the heroes with no or few powers are examples of this, from Batman to Captain America. They are in real risk when they go to help people, but they do it anyway. Now if you want to respond with "but he's cool, your a troll" I'd like to point out that you're not actually discussing anything. You'd be doing the text equivalent of sticking your fingers in your ears and humming loudly, like a child being told something they don't want to hear.
I -am- stating a fact. Superman is one of the more boring and poorly-designed superheroes. Fine. You want it to be on-topic? I'd write a story that kills him off in a way that won't let him come back. As it is, even though he theoretically has weaknesses, he's been brought back from the dead so many times that it never feels like he's ever at risk at all. So basically, I'd have a situation where he needs to stay dead in order to keep some massive, world-ending threat at bay. Captain America is willing to jump on a grenade to protect those around him, if Superman is supposed to be anywhere close to the Cap'n, then he needs a proverbial grenade of his own.
Actually I formed my opinion after reading some of them. They got me to the point where I'm at. You know, it's possible that I may be well-informed and just have a different opinion than you? My disagreeing doesn't mean that I don't know what I'm talking about.
He's an alien who's invulnerable to most things on Earth, leaves swaths of destruction when he fights, and acts as though he were somehow above the law just because of his powers. Captain America is a much more compelling character, especially the movie version. Not even originally a particularly noteworthy individual, his strength of character was the deciding factor of why he was chosen to get his abilities. He earned them for being a good person. He's still fundamentally human, and though powerful he doesn't see himself as being above anyone. If Superman is a symbol of anything, he's a symbol of how far we've come in learning to make interesting characters. He's flat as a board. Also, Man of Steel was a piss-poor movie.
But he's like, the least interesting superhero D:
Hey by the way, once we're actually in the RP, if we hit a fight scene where it's fine for Erowyn to tear through enemies, let me know :D I get that especially with major plot-related enemies and encounters it might not be appropriate, but if ever there's like a group of weak enemies and it's her job to keep them busy while the rest of the party does something, or something like that, just let me know so I can go all bloody mess / Mortal Kombat x-ray attack on them :P
I think it's more to do with what your character would have a thematic connection with. Something solid and strong like Stone fits Erowyn much better than air or something, even if she has absolutely no magic prowess. I think it's more important for what Evander's going to be able to summon.
