We Are Our Action Avatars (Discussion)

• Name: Renard Lefévre
• Sex: Male
• Race: Human (Inheritor)
• Gear: Three magical artefacts that have magical properties
  • Wish-Granting Jewel: is supposed to grant wishes based on Renard's magic power, but since his have not yet developed, thus far it only gives him human shapeshifting. He can change everything about him as long as he stays within what's possible for a non-augmented human.
  • Whip of Fire: Metal whip that is burning hot to the touch for anyone except Renard.
  • Sack of Plenty: A bag of rice that never gets empty as Renard dispenses from it.
• Powers: Renard is an Inheritor, and has inherited the Divine Essence of the kami Inari with which to rebuild the world. Inari's consciousness dwells within Renard's mind and can take over control of his body if necessary.
  • Inari's Gift: Innate skill with tools of manufacture, speciality blacksmithing.
• Physical Abilities: Can change his body to the bodyshape that is the most fitting, but is otherwise only decently skilled with the use of a sword.
• Quick Traits: Hard worker and a ladies' man. Inari, when he comes out, is more cunning and manipulative.

Renard is from the same game as Yumiko, but with a different starting Divine Essence, so his powers work something along the same lines as hers. He can become stronger by absorbing more Divine Essences, but as I understand, you don't fight a lot of gods, so it's unlikely he'll come close to the power limit.

May as we'll do this now.Wanted to try the for a while.

• Name: Merrideth, AKA Merry
• Sex: Female
• Race: Human
• Gear: Lots and lots of costumes.
• Powers: Is able to imbue her costumes with magic powers to duplicate up to two of the abilities of the character depicted is capable within her natural magical limit (AKA can't go over super weight 3). Her power weakens significantly if sullied reducing her to basic telekinesis.
• Physical Abilities: None by default.
• Quick Traits: This is the same Merry that was a Guardevoir.

I just hope this works. I'm willing to tweak it if this sounds broken

Rai thoughts these ones?

Also plots.

Trying to think of one, but I got nothin' so far.

My only thoughts are

1) That is an incredibly broad category of powers they can potentially choose from, and it'd probably need a few examples of what exact kinds of powers they can duplicate.

and

2) If we throw this one into the game, this would be the second pseudo-Author Avatar being played by the same player.

My thoughts with 2)

All of us do that all the time, so it is not too much of an issue, I am woried about the power coppying is all.

I was more asking about Lem though, for similar reasons I dont see too many flaws, but I just want to know wht you think.

Oh. Had no idea, you didn't specify. Gimme a few minutes.

Edit: Okay, looking at it, the only thing I can see that might be any sort of problem for Renard is

1) That wish granting jewel, if only because it has the potential to turn into broken wombles, not because it currently is. That is, if it's the same sort of wish I'm thinking of where anything is possible by asking for it. In its current state as a magical artifact that grants him the ability to shapeshift, it's perfectly fine.

and

2) A problem that occurred in WAOA when Lem was playing Yumiko, when they actually did kill a god and Yumiko jumped up over 9000 power levels because of it...which caused a huge amount of turmoil over whether she should be allowed to keep said power. And since Renard is of the same sort of being, and this game has had a history of power level issues...well, just a thing to consider. Granted, I have no idea if you guys ever want to get near deities or beings of pseudo deific powers ever again, but you might want to get that deal sorted out way in advance before it actually becomes a problem again.

Other than that, I see no other possible problems with them.

Having discussed with Lem in private he is good.

Also Rhyme is good.

Ethers can you dust off the plot list?

Yay, thanks!

ACTUALY....

I had a thought.

I dont know if people want to start with it, but if were going to do a zombie plot, maybe we should do it while the group is established to have fuck all in the way of ammo?

We're doing my zombie plot as the first one? Or at least that's what you're proposing?

I'm also getting that Plot List.

EDIT: Got it

Thats what I am proposing yes, depending on if you/others want to.

Honestly the costume thing could be fun but I'm not sure I can handle it right now. I'll simplify it later

So the zombies have the advantage of numbers and basically everything else since nobody has any bullets.

I've only really got plans for one week of Zombiepalooza rather than a month-long plot as I did last time.

It still gives us time to work up more plots though, unless your saying its not done.

@ Spar : Thats why you go dead island on there ass and improvise.

I've got just enough plans, I think.

Most of which being setpieces and progression of one setpiece to another.

Basically it starts at a mall and ends at a mansion, with some more in-between.

Maybe they'll take the Science Trukk :P

TRIAL BY FIIIIIIIIIIIRE MEEEEEEDDLYLMELMEMEEMEDMELOW!

I thought that means killing people through extremely repetitive gameplay and a ridiculously offensive "Tits, Ass and Gore" marketing strategy.

so what you are saying is don't play dead island

Wait is it another zombie game then with the ridiculously improvised weapons?

Dead Rising

Dead Rising?

Dead Island had those too actually.

Dead Rising has you duct-taping machine guns to wheelchairs and then it starts trash-talking in Stephen Hawking's voice.
