If anyone has any questions, comments, or concerns, then feel free to post them here c:
I'd love to answer.

@KatKook No feelings were hurt tbh. I was just really annoyed. I'm okay dealing with conflict, but everyone else shouldn't have been forced to deal with it too. lol.

@KatKook Sorry it took me a few days to get through everything. I'm just glad that problem person didn't scare people away. ;;

@xia Before they lose their memories, the characters can have op powers as long as you set appropriate limits for them to have as well. It's okay to have very powerful characters as long as they also have appropriate power limiters so that things are balanced.

Edit: After they lose their memories, they're going to forget a little bit how to use said op powers. They're basically trying to figure out control again.

Now that I'm back on track with reading posts and getting through the week.

@KatKook I really like your character. I like her powers and I like what you've done with her so far. If you're still interested in continuing this story, then I'd love to have you.

@JrVader While I do like the idea of a melee fighter, there are just a couple of things about your character I'd like to ask about. The photo is a bit low quality, and I was wondering if you wouldn't mind changing it? My friends and I can help you find a photo that fits your character if you're in need of help at all.

Also, the fact that he doesn't know any magic (according to his sheet) is a bit concerning. Since they were gifted powers by their celestial, I would have thought that he knows at least some. Even if it is just enhancing his physical capabilities. Like enhanced perception and strength. I believe you said that. I'd like to see your skeleton reflect that. I think he would be an interesting addition to the team considering most, if not all, of the characters have some sort of ranged specialty.

His backstory is a bit strange to me. Considering that this is more of a modern day magic rp. Like it's set in the time of cell phones and cars and all that. Their town isn't backwards enough to have caravans, and I don't see there being some sort of zen monastery in a mountain village. I'm okay with him being a martial arts instructor because it ties in nicely with his abilities, but there are some aspects of your character that I just don't see really working with the thread itself.

I'm not responding to that here. I'm done talking to you in this thread.

|- Little Solace: Chapter One: Black Frost -|

@Nyxira I will say one last thing, I told you you can dm me about it, but that I would prefer it to be the same.

There's no negativity from me other than the fact that you've literally contested me and tried my patience since this morning. I've not insulted you personally, and if you think that I have, then take it up with me. Stop posting in the OOC thread and creating more of this. You've literally tried to get me to do one thing over the other that I was telling you that I wanted from the beginning. If you don't like the way that someone does something, then it's really just a simple matter of not joining. I'm sorry that you feel that way, but as it stands right now, I've no interest in rping with you because talking to you results in a circular conversation.

Any further discussion on this topic will be discussed in dms.

Thanks.

@Nyxira I, personally, like to have everything the same and out in the open. There are plenty of ways that I can alter and affect the story even with people knowing your character's past. You can still enjoy the story even knowing things about everyone else. It doesn't take any intrigue away from the story. For me, it does not create MORE intrigue if there's less information. It really doesn't. It just feels like there's something missing, and if you leave things out, then it feels incomplete.

I'm just a little peeved that we've had this discussion because you asked for my thoughts and opinions and then went "I'm going to do it my way anyway" pretty much. It's a little irritating to tell someone something multiple ways and still have them be like "oh, but can I still do this the way that I feel? :) "

I'm really not trying to BE an asshole, but I'm kind of losing my patience; I won't even lie about that. I know how to tell a story and how to manage a thread, and I don't mean to be this person, but if you don't like the way that I do things or want things, then it's very simple that you don't have to join. I'm asking for things to be done in an orderly way where the characters have all the needed information. I'm fine if you want to dm me and ask me questions about character's back stories or pasts. I'm fine if you want to dm me to finish this conversation, but I am done having it here in the OOC. I understand that everyone does something their way, but this is my thread, and I am asking you to do something rather than take the lazy way out. It is true that RP is about telling a story, but the way that you want to tell a story is more suited for solo writing than group writing.

As for different outlooks on how to write a character, from personal experience, the exclusion of information, has ALWAYS been an indication of laziness for me. On eliteskills, people would try to pass off unfinished characters for a thread, and it baffled me that people didn't seem to try. I know that if I leave things out of a skeleton, I forget about it or forget to pull it into the story even if I write it down somewhere else. I understand that people do things differently, but it's very hard for me to understand the way you want to go about it.

|- Little Solace: Chapter One: Black Frost -|

@Nyxira I just have a question for you. Can you not separate IC from OOC, and that's why you want to keep it hidden? Because you don't want people to power play? Because I can assure you, as someone who has been writing and roleplaying for ten plus years that keeping something out of your bio for the sake of intrigue doesn't make it more interesting. I really do not understand why you want to separate them out the way that you are trying. It just seems more complicated to me, and it really baffles me.

I do think it is a bit lazy to write that way because on every site that I've been on, people like that generally write their characters that way because they don't have a past to put there, so they just make it up as they go. I'm really not trying to be an asshole, but it's hard for me to fathom the reason why you're wanting to keep it out. There will be plenty of intrigue in the thread, and even if you DO put their backstory in your sheet, it's up to you to use it in the thread itself and be creative in your wording and story telling.

@Nyxira because it's LAZY writing to be like "you'll discover more about them in the rp ;)"
This is a roleplay not a book. In solo writing you can do hints of back story here and there in the plot, but in a roleplay, the whole point is character interaction, and if you have an incomplete character you're actively cockblocking people who want to write with them. How can you actively write a character that isn't complete interacting with other people? It's just so lazy to me to do that in a roleplay. Yes, we're discovering them as we go along, but what it seems like to me is "I have a character that basically has an insert plot points here backstory because I'm too lazy to write it out for the sake of discovering it via the thread". That's the point I'm trying to make.
