@Grim excuse me? I know people in the 1x1 area that slept with 57 girls (auto-declared). They're also specialists in relationship studies.

Calling dibs on a mage spot. Not sure about whether I'll be able to use a modern human too tho. I may be already stretching my limit a bit to fit this in because it's one of my favourite RP themes.
@Agent 47@Etranger@Spanner

To everyone. Before you hightail and leave, my intentions were not to respond to Rune in a hostile manner. If I came off as hostile, I do apologize. I speak directly and often sternly when I feel something needs to be addressed and it may have come off as rudeness.

If you give me a chance, then I do not normally GM in that fashion. But please, before you run off take it from my perspective. I believe that responsibility is a two way street. I admit I may have misunderstood Rune’s tone, for that I will take responsibility and saw I shouldn’t have responded in the manner I did. But from my point of view as GM, when a member persist, and persist, and persist to continue to thwart our opinions it does look like arguing.

If perhaps the wording would have been different, “I do not agree, can I tell you why?” or “Will you guys hear me out and let me explain my opinion?” Is a much different language than just going, “well I don’t see it that way, because of this reasons and if I had known that you guys weren’t doing it this way,etc.” you can see it coming as confrontational.

I am sorry you had to witness that from me. Please do not see one side of things and leave. We all made a mistake in this conversation. I’ll take the brunt of it, as I always do no matter if I am right or wrong because to me that’s not what is important. It’s about talking out resolutions and coming to an understanding.I am not in the right. There was no one to blame, but a misunderstanding.

@AngelofOctober@Neo Is Delight

Well... To be fair I'm still fairly interested in this RP even after this situation. Since you had the iniciative to recognize that both the sides had some responsibility by what happened and no one is to be specifically blamed, I could as well give a chance for the RP.

It's not like it was something that expressive anyway, running away from something that I want to do because of my small PTSD when it comes to FT roleplays seems a bit too excessive.

P.s. Here's the sheet for my character. I believe I already PMed the backstory to both of you.
Cain



Arthur couldn't help but get emotional as the minutes continuoudly passed - marming the little time he had until the end of something who was a big part of his life for years. Even his attempt of distracting himself by appraising the exotic items that covered a considerable share of the main hall hardly helped him in distracting himself from the painfully slow passing of the final minutes of the game - that seemed to distort time in such a way that even the small span of 5 minutes seemed like hours, as if purposefully messing with his perception of time to gift him some extra time in YGGDRASIL.

Ultimately, though, he decided that it wasn't worth it to stay in the hall - After all It wasn't like he had anyone to talk with and the act of examining the itens only made him even more aware of the imminent end of the game he loved - making his way towards the outer area of the fort, far from the view of the other members of the makeshift guild he joined to commemorate a little before the end of the game."Watching end of an era is actually quite the saddening experience." He sighed, his gaze filled eith melancholy as he watched the starry sky of YYGDRASIL for the last time in his life - a fitting goodbye for a game whose the only feature that aged magnificently was the graphics - going as far as closing his eyelids - at least mentaly, since his character wasn't capable of doing such a thing - for a second as he waited for the end of the game, memorizing the sight that would already be gone after he once more opened his eyes... And then he was forced to open them and face a whole new view.

Maybe due to the fact that even if he was mentally blocking his view his character still maintained his eyelids open, Arthur literally saw the world instantly changing around him, the stars changing to emcompass brand new constelations while excluding most of the previous ones and the surroundings changing from a fairly populated area in an instant - leaving the human turned devil completely flabbergasted as he tried to make sense of the situation. "Wha..? Wher..? Why?" His immediate reaction was - as the experienced player he was - try to understand his situation, surprisingly maintaining the calm in despite of his astonishment and try to understand what is happening - quite the surprising decision, since he didn't recall being so rational last time he checked.

"Checking my surroundings for clues should be my primary priority. If this is a last raid we'll get some undesired company soon." He made his mind and started the quick casting a simple spell that ecery mage used at least once: Fly - Decision that immediately made him frown, suddenly aware of the extra changes that happened around him: He could literally feel his mana coating him, dispelling the air resistance as it quickly lifted him above the fort, and he could feel the wind around his body, smell the grass that was originally under him and even feel his eyebrows moving as he frowned. This... This isn't right. I've tested some of the latest games of the company for bro recently and they're nowhere as good as this when it comes to replicating the human senses. What the f- is going on her..!? Before he could think deeply about it, a nearby part of the fort was suddenly pierced by something that looked like a laser, once more diverting his attention.

He immediately decided to once more enter the fort, as there was at least a small possibility of someone in the group knowing what was happening, flying towards the nearest entrance just to be surprised by three presences standing in his way, two elfs and a strangely small being that was most certainly a kind of fairy, seemingly roleplaying something. "Ahn... Excuse me for interrupting you, but... Perhaps... Any of you know what is happening here? Why does everything feel so... Real?" He cancelled his spell, landing in the ground nearby to the group. While he hated disturbing their fun, getting some info about the situation still took priority over being polite.

Ok, that's it for me. I already felt a little compelled to leave after all the discussions started to appear and how similar to some unpleasant peeps I've RPed with before you (Specifically Angel) acted - after all they were what made me avoid FT RPs for quite a while - and now I made my mind: I'll take the opportunity and drop the RP while I'm still not attached to it.

I already have many characters and little time anyway so I'd rather not get into a RP that'll end up making me mad instead of offering somewhere to play a little and distract me from all the stressful situations I face in my daily life.

P.s.
Please don't take any offense from this, even comparing you to this certain person in my past is hardly something I did with the objective of being offensive (specially since I was friendly to the person in question for quite a while before starting to avoid them) and I'm merely mentioning it to give some light about my reasons to leave. In the end, it all resumes to how I ain't prepared to get into random discussions - that'll undoubtedly happen by what I could see until now - and how this OOC away too heated for me in despite of the RP being in its initial stage.

Anyway, I still bid you good luck in your RP and hope that it'll be sucessful. Sorry for the bother.
@Tenma Tendo Neat. I actually had a sound ds about a year ago, quite the nice concept to RP.

Edit:
I've been receiving lots of likes for defending people recently. Almost makes me tempted to be more active in OOCs that aren't hosted on discord... Almost.
What elements are currently taken?


By what we can see in the OOC I'd say Frost, Poison and Crystal. No idea about submissions via PM tho...
@Neo Is Delight

Unfortunately, I don't think I can make a non-slayer character. I kind of already hit my character limit and even the atual quantity of characters I already have is hard to cope with to the point where I'm considering dropping one of the RPs I'm in to get some extra time.
@Tenma Tendo

Trust me I understand when you like a popular series and a character responds to you. However, and call this personal taste or me inserting my personal beliefs in here. I don't necessarily care for people using Face Claims from popular MCS. Shirogane Naoto is a very popular character, he is on the cover of some of the games. And He is An Androgynous character. While not a complete riff, I do not find I like elements from the original character being taken.

Beyond the fact it states they need glasses to read and you have chosen an appearance without any glasses.

I know this seems personal of me. Maybe a bit nit picky. But I just. I rejected someone on another website in another RP from Sesshomaru. If you need help with photos, I can help. Elsewise it really just....comes off...well in poor taste.


I normally avoid getting into discussions like that when it doesn't involve my own characters or cause any sort of direct impact on my life but this time I actually feel compelled to point something... Isn't that too much of a selfish action?

I mean, taking a famous character as your face claim is quite the normal practice for roleplayers to start with - hardly qualifying a reason for refusing a character. Also, It's important to realize that even if someone decides to take a famous character as reference for appearance they're not obliged to make a character identical to the referential appearance, they're merely providing some visual reference to make it easier for us to visualize them, and even if they do decide to take some aspects of the original character it's not like it will ever be a complete copy - after all the development of the character will always depend on the specific environment and how they interact with it.

Anyway, ignoring the whole half-drunk speech about how you should be able to do the character the way you like and repressing that is wrong, the point of this whole discussion is pointing that refusing a character because you personally don't like the way it was made is kind of going against what RPs stand for. It's not like they're doing metagaming or shit like that, it's just roleplaying a character based in a concept they liked, repressing this without a concrete rrason is just forcing you personal beliefs into someone else - an abuse of you position as GM.

P.s. Shirogane Naoto is a she. She even declares that.
We're like one big happy OCC family. I am glad to see everyone's enthusiasm showing. Hopefully Neo wakes up from her nap and finishes her sheet. And I finish my history.

I am sorry guys, my brain doesn't know how to do casual, and the history became "I will eat your eyeballs" long. -cries- :( It's a curse of mine.


I know the feel. I'm the kind of person who does either a simple sheet (2/3 para history/personality at most) or a "wtf-are-you-trying-to-write-a-book" sheet with up to 15K words.
