Four Winds

@Menhir That was just a random number I thought of. I'll change it to a single digit if that's the issue that holds the most bearing.

Four Winds

I just wanted a simple RP without involving the complexities of science, religion, society and whatnot. It was inspired by shonen manga, but I guess that's what I get for not establishing the specifics of the setting I gave you guys.

This is getting quite discouraging.

Four Winds

@Zero Hex If the majority shares the same opinion, I'll ditch my idea then and go with this.

@Letter Bee I don't know how you got to that conclusion, but No, please. That's the last thing we need.

Four Winds

@KOgaming Yeah, feel free, man. I didn't expect things to turn out this way too. Kind of discouraging, I know.

Four Winds

@Masaki Haruna Well, I'm not sure what explanation would satisfy the majority. Whatever I come up with, would probably be questions since I'm not the most adept when it comes to breaking down the details of concepts that I've thought of. I've tried in previous post, and this is what happened.

Four Winds

Most of that seems about right. I'll guess I'll just explain the ones that even confuses me.

• If technology also caused similar issues with magic, it would make wizards vulnerable to the hate crimes they are commonly victims of - (Although feared and hated, aside from being treated unfairly, people tend to leave wizards alone. At least they don't try to physically assault them or anything to that extent, since they might get blown up or something. If technology does hinder magic, then wizards wouldn't have a way to defend themselves if ever people do try to attack them. Making the extremely vulnarable. So currently, even if they are victims of prejudice and such hate crimes, nothing too drastic has been done about them. Makes sense?)
  []*If technology also caused issues with magic, it would make wizards rare because it would suppress many people who have weaker potential for magic (Well, the target of the institution was to pick those with potential and not just those who were capable of magic. They leave that to other institutions. Basically, Four Winds only selects a handful of the minority who are capable of magic.)

I get what you're saying, but I don't think what I've come up with is bad enough that it needs to be changed.

Four Winds

@Mercurial He could land, but it would be incredibly rough. Like, probably crash-like, but I'll say no real injuries. He'd get to the academy, but sucks to be the pilot and maid he was with. They'd be asked to leave; not sure how they'd get home.

Four Winds

@Mercurial Uhm, in areas that are dense with magic, they wouldn't. I mean, they wouldn't shut down immediately; it would be more gradual in a malfunction-ey sort of way. That's why I made the location of the school far away from civilization. To avoid those issues. Only simple machines would be unaffected by magic.

Four Winds

@Zero Hex To be fair, I wanted to stick with the whole "magic interferes with tech" idea and hoped people would just go with it.

Four Winds

@MenhirI was just thinking, if technology does dampen magic, the would leave those who use magic in quite a vulnerable state. Getting attacked by those who're against magic with technology wouldn't be unlikely and wizards/witches who decide to live in a society where they\re looked down upon, feared, hated, et cetera. Also, in a technology-filled world, it would be weird if that didn't hinder the appearance of those who were supposed to discover their abilities. And given that Four Winds is an area dense with magic, it would be strange if a machine or two would be enough to interfere with magic. That's why I wanted to go with the opposite idea of magic interferes with technology.

That idea regarding a tech-related mage organization is interesting, but that might make things too in depth?

I have no problem with Sodium's character's entrance. I just wished he would have told me about it prior to his post so that we could talk about what and what not to do.
