@Blight Bug Yup. You're good to go.

Yasuragiha: The Blades of Peace

@Rekaigan Sakurasan is still working on her character. Don't worry. I am not allowing guns.

Yasuragiha: The Blades of Peace

@KuramaaaZ I need a little bit more to give you any meaningful input on. If making it rain only when he's upset is the only power he's got, then I can't see how that would be problematic. I mean, it's just rain.

@Blight Bug Looks good. Just put a limitation on the healing ability. Like it can heal cuts and stabs, but not full-on impalement or limb regeneration.

@Ashifili The banned powers may theoretically exist, but I don't find them conducive to good roleplaying so it is highly unlikely that they will be encountered.

@AtomicNut With regards to the suicide ability, the way I read it, it seemed like it's sole purpose was to ease mortally wounded animals into a peaceful death. I don't see having a calming effect on mortally wounded creatures as being problematic, or even practical in a combat scenario. Also, I understand if the RP has gotten a bit big for your liking; it's already much larger than I expected it to get. But your character is a good addition so maybe you can give it a chance. It's up to you.

@RainbowReindeer You did express your interest before the cutoff, so you're welcome to post a character.

I think that's all the backlogged issues in the thread. Just yell at me if I missed something.

Yasuragiha: The Blades of Peace

So, since we've got a large crew now, I'm going to declare the RP full. Anyone who has already expressed interest may still make their character, but I don't have room for any new members. If the heard thins out, as often happens, I'll open it up to more people in the future.

Yasuragiha: The Blades of Peace

@AtomicNut Alright. Looks good. You can add the character.

We have a nice full group of characters now, so I'll try to have some assignments ready and get the IC up tomorrow. If anybody has any assignment ideas, let me know.

Yasuragiha: The Blades of Peace

@Zombehs Ok. looks good. You can add it to the characters tab.

Yasuragiha: The Blades of Peace

@AtomicNut The thing is, even a "Detect Motive" ability for lack of a better term is hard to implement. In cases where you as a player don't know what a characters true intentions are, you will have no way of even implementing the ability unless the player explicitly describes subtle gestures for your character to read. In cases where you do know that another character has ulterior motives, you essentially have full control over whether or not the character is a good enough liar. Sensing fear works because it is common for players to describe general emotions like that, and it is fair that your character could pick up on it. With the ability as you have it, it is either arbitrary, or essentially metagaming depending on the scenario. It's fine if you want your character to be naturally suspicious, and if another player describes a subtle gesture that their character makes, you're welcome to pick up on it, but beyond that, I have to nerf the ability.

@Zombehs Just a couple things. First, the talisman would make some oni aspect visible in his human form. Maybe small horns on his head? Also, there need to be some restrictions on that energy absorption ability. I would say limit it to a single type of energy, like fire since that is thematic, and limit how much energy he can absorb. Other than that, it looks good.

Yasuragiha: The Blades of Peace

@AtomicNut Looks like he'll be a fun addition. The only thing I have an issue with is the Lie Detection. It seems a bit overpowered to just always know when someone is lying, and is especially difficult to balance in player interactions. Maybe you could change that to just sensing fear, and you'll have to deduce what you can from it.

Yasuragiha: The Blades of Peace

@Haeo Looks good. He's approved.

Yasuragiha: The Blades of Peace

@Ashifili They'd probably have more regular wooden ones, but you could request a magical one.
