Hope, Determination, and Friendship - Magical Girl RP Signups

Main ~ Discussion

This is the old signup thread for the first attempt of this RP. For the second attempt, see Attempt 2.0's signup thread.

I don't know what I should have expected.

When I first gained my powers, I thought I should use them to help people. To protect their hopes and dreams and defend them from those who would threaten them. So that's what I did, because that's what a hero should do.

But now, I'm doubting myself. All these people, all these places. They'll just reset themselves. Everyone I meet is just going to forget about me. Solving their problems over and over again isn't going to get me out of this endless cycle, no matter how many times I try. In the light of all this, why should I even try?

...No, that's a bad way of looking at it. I'm not that kind of person. Standing around is not going to fix things, and pushing onward in the face of it all is what I do best. I'll find a way to escape the loop, to free everyone stuck in it. And even if I don't, doing what I always have will keep me from giving in.

I'm trapped. But I will keep fighting. And with hope, I will persevere.

Welcome to Hope, Determination, and Friendship!

This is a Magical Girl RP, based around the concept of the player characters being trapped in an endless loop of time. However, it's not just living the same period of time over and over again without any changes. When the loop restarts, the world around them changes. Some things remain fairly consistent, but other things are wildly different. In particular, they'll have new enemies that threaten the world, and it may not be worth ignoring them even if everything's going to reset itself eventually.

Will the girls triumph over these constant challenges and escape from the recursion of time? Or will they sink into despair and give up trying, staying trapped in the loop forevermore? Or will something else entirely happen?

As you might guess from the premise, this is going to be on the darker end of magical girl stories. However, that isn't to say it's completely hopeless ("Hope" is in the title of the RP, after all). Some loops may not end the best, and some challenges will seem impossible at first, but ultimately there will always be a happy ending available. You'll just have to work for it.

I'm planning to have this RP be a good mix of action and character interaction, though one or the other might take prominence depending on the theme of the loop and/or my writing ability.

Also, I apologize to anyone who read the title and expected an Undertale RP.

For the purposes of making your character. For more details, see the Discussion thread.

• The base setting is Earth, Like Reality, Unless Noted. To be more specific, the general area is somewhere in the American Northeast. Naturally, just how "realistic" it all is depends on the nature of the loop.
• The central hub of the RP is Newbury, a mid-sized city with a population of about half million. The characters will always start in this city at the beginning of a loop, and are living there at the start of the RP (although whether or not they're native to it is up to the individual player). It can be assumed to have a fair number of residential districts, school districts, and so on, though more specific locations will be crafted as needed as the RP goes on.
• Speaking of school: The story starts at the beginning of summer, so school can be assumed to be out and thus a non-issue. Given the age range, the characters can be assumed to be anywhere from late elementary to middle school in terms of grade.
• For the first loop, the world is reasonably mundane beyond the player characters' powers and the enemies they're up against.

• Name: What does your character call herself?
• Age: How old is she?
• Appearance: What does your character look like? Pictures are allowed, provided you can find a suitable one.
• Personality: How can your character be expected to behave?
• Powers: What can your character do?
• Backstory: What was your character's life like up until this point?
  • This should NOT include your character gaining their powers. As mentioned under the rules, all the characters' powers come from one source, and that one source will grant your character her powers once she's part of the RP.
• Other: Anything else the GM should know?

I will assume you've dropped out if you do not post for roughly two weeks or so without an explanation. This does not mean you've been kicked out of the RP; you're welcome to return with either your original character or a new one. However, if you keep dropping out and wanting to return repeatedly, I'll consider your activity too inconsistent and actually kick you out.

• Name: Maike von Steiner (or Aurora)
• Age: 12
• Appearance:
  • Normally: Like that
  • Transformed: She wears a cape covering her back and the right part of her front along with her arm, underneath there she wears a bandeau, also she wears a skirt (along with Modesty Shorts) and tighhighs.
• Personality: Generally calm and collected... a bit shy, though loyal to those she deems friends.
• Powers:
  • Plant command: She can create thorny plants and use them as a whip. She can also bind enemies in them (although for their sake those are mostly non-thorned... mostly). Additionally she can bring withered plants to grow again or cut plants (for example from a bouquet to take roots again. And generally can make flowers and such bloom.
• Backstory: Maike lived the normal life you would expect. Her family was once from the nobility (hence the 'von') though that is long since gone and apart from the name nothing of that is left. She now lives with her parents and a pet Fennec (named Erwin) in a small house in the outskirts of Cologne. Her father is a programmer in a Game-Company and her mother owns a small corner store. The most notable thing in her life up until now was being ranked 3rd in a Jugend Forscht competition. Currently she is in America because her parents promised her to go on vacation there some day (mostly to see things like the Space Center and stuff).
• Other:
  • Familiar: Erwin was in the vicinity as Maike got her powers and thus also was affected, in his case he gained the ability to speak when in the near vicinity of Maike, other than that he still is a normal Fennec.

Erm, just a question, you said named NPC's are only under your command, though what is with those like the parents of the PC? Do you play as them when needed or are they an exception to this rule?

edited 28th Jun '16 4:02:30 PM by Sergey_Smirnov

I'm going to say they're an exception, although only a minor one. You're allowed to name them and have your PC interact with them, but if you're not allowed to do anything with them unless your PC's currently interacting with them.

Okay, didn't plan anymore than that anyway, just wanted to make sure

Interest, I'm just gonna brainstorm an idea first..

Hey, I said I'd most likely join, despite not actually having seen anything involving magical girls, didn't I? Anyways, here she is! Hopefully she's all right... —

• Name: Aileen Araw
• Age: 13
• Appearance: Aileen is 4'3'', a bit short in her opinion. She has a medium build and light brown skin with nothing much to note. Her straight blonde hair is groomed and short, reaching just behind her neck. She has amber eyes like both of her parents. Her usual attire consists of a purple shirt, blue pants and yellow rubber shoes. She almost always wears the black jacket with yellow trims given to her by her mom which she wears like a mantle. She often has her brown Polaroid instant camera around her neck or in her hands.
  • Dogondevil: When transformed, she stays the same height but looks drastically different. Her head becomes a wolf with yellow horns curling forward. Her tongue becomes forked and her eyes blood red. Her skin is covered in grey fur and with red stripes. She gets a long, thick tail, also covered in grey fur with red stripes. Her hands and feet look like a cross between our paws and human hands and feet. She has grey furred bat like wings, the inside of which is red. No matter what she's wearing, it will always end up becoming light knight like armor adorning her body. They're around her forearms, torso, hips and lower legs. They're black with yellow trimmings while at the center of her chest armor is a purple upside down triangle.
• Personality: Aileen most certainly lives up to her name. A cheery girl overall, she's outgoing, energetic and rarely stays in one spot for too long. She's easily distracted too and anything important she has to say usually gets interrupted. As idiotic she may seem, she's actually quite smart and can be mature. She cares a lot about others and is more than willing to help with problems, be they physical or emotional. She loves to take pictures. Combine that with her tendency to do things impulsively, she has been known to take pictures when other people don't notice. As nice as she is, she has a really bad temper when she does get mad and she's working on controlling it better. Like her mother, if she gives someone a nickname involving stars, light, suns or cameras, it means she considers them a close friend.
• Powers: She transforms into a Dogondevil. No, not Hellhound. No, not a pun on "dog gone" (well, okay, a little). Dogondevil, as in dog-dragon-like devil, and has several powers associated with them. She can transform at will but she can involuntarily transform when she sneezes.
  • Here there be Dragon...Dogs (Dragon and Dog Senses): Her sense of smell now can smell and "distinguish" metals, like being able to tell if it's gold, bronze or copper. It's also as good as a Bloodhound's and can smell through her tongue. She can also hear better and hear sounds beyond human hearing range.
  • Speak of the Devil (Demon Physiology): Transformed, her strength is enough to easily lift a car and punch through concrete and her body strong enough to do those feat. Her tail is prehensile and can pick up some objects. She can also fly. But because of being a demon, she's easily hurt by and weak to any holy magic.
  • In the Name of the Moon! (Casting a Shadow): She can turn into a shadow, but she becomes even more vulnerable to holy magic with that and can still be hit, it's just easier to do so with magic. She can do various shadow attacks, usually as beams and spheres, and make a shield of darkness around herself or others that can take quite a few hits. She doesn't have to concentrate on the barriers to keep them up, but they can take more hits if she does.
  • Oh! Shiny~ (Playing with Fire):  She can breath hellfire up to five meters and create up to fifteen little tiny fireballs (also hellfire). They're the size of baseballs and she can send them flying around.
• Backstory: Aileen's mother, Valentina, was originally from the Philippines before she lived in the city after her parents died and lived with her aunt and uncle. Her father, Murray, was native to the city and of Filipino descent. Life was rather normal for Aileen. Nothing much to note, except for being in detention on occasion for punching the lights out of people who she saw bullied others. She discovered her love of taking pictures when she played around with the old Polaroid camera that she now uses.
• Other: She's quite good at photography and keeps the camera inside her jacket if she doesn't have it around her neck or hands. She can also speak the Philippine language, Cebuano.

Well I'm definitely interested. Gimme a bit to iron out a character.

Ooh, I'll have to think of a good one for this.

Also interested and working out a character idea. Is there any sort of theme/underlying mechanic/whatever you're picturing for the girl's powers?

An extrapolation of the above question: What's your opinion on the concept of a girl who's taken the mantle of hereditary powers, something that's been passed down through her family?

Not particularly. Beyond the fact that they're all granted by the same source, the closest I've come up with is that their manifestation depends on the person they're granted to. There's no really defined rules outside of those two things; I don't particularly like having a million-and-a-half different rules for what a character's powers can and can't do anyway.

Sadly, this is a no-go. As I mentioned, all the characters' powers come from the same source, and that wouldn't mesh with that from a story perspective. That being said, your character's powers can be influenced by their family's history; they just can't come from their family's history.

@Shoutmon: Aileen does seem to be on the stronger side of things, but while it makes me wary it's not to the point where anything's outright objectionable. So she's accepted.

• Name: Carol Lambert
• Age: 15
• Appearance: As seen wearing the traditional garb of the Herder,◊ which is whatever she could find at a thrift store. Yes, even the gauntlets. It's very eclectic thrift store. When not decked to the nines in protective sheep herding clothing, she tends to wear subdued colors and warm clothing, especially her collection of not-terribly-fashionable-but-comfortable-nonetheless hoodies. Her face is very obviously the one of someone who doesn't get enough sleep.
• Personality: Very weary, both in a physical and worldly sense. She is a textbook sufferer of insomnia, and has had trouble going to sleep for as long as she can remember. Since she ends up staying awake all night, she's often both exhausted and irritated and has a tendency to lash out at people that try to disturb her sleep. Not helping this is that she's a caffeine addict, which while it does keep her up when she needs to stay awake, it doesn't help when she actually needs to go to sleep. Otherwise, Carol's gotten to that phase in life where she's trying to rebel a bit, mostly by swearing and being harmlessly edgy for the sake of it. Her anti-social tendencies, both due to being grouchy from lack of sleep and just in general not wanting to hang out, has led to her falling to the wayside of the social strata of the school, not being particularly involved with any group of friends. In a good mood she isn't outright hostile towards anyone, she just doesn't feel the need to get out and talk to others.
• Powerz:
  • The Sheep Stick: If it has a more dignified name, she doesn't know it. For anything within the subfamily Caprinae (markhors, ibexes, muskoxen, assorted other species, but most importantly goats and sheep), no matter living or dead, are irresistibly compelled to follow the directions that the holder tells them to follow. Commands can be as simple as "go here" or as complex as "every ten steps make a 133 degree rotation, travel exactly 200 feet ahead and try to pull off a backflip", but most of the time it's "ram that guy". It's also eternally on fire. Has a tendency to show up near her without explanation if Carol doesn't touch it every day or so.
  • Sheep of The Netherworld: All sheep go to heaven, it turns out, and heaven in this instance is wherever Carol happens to be at this time. The majority eventually pass on into nothingness after a few weeks, but that still means that in her hometown there are millions of sheep spirits mucking around in their own odd demiplane of the afterlife, grazing on air and not being a bother to anyone except Carol herself. They manifest as ghostly balls of wool-shaped hellfire, and aside from being dead and passing through walls are the exact same as they were in real life. If she isn't near a flock there's usually at least two or so within reach at all times, and Carol can make them visible to others temporarily and physical for an even shorter period, only up to 5 seconds at a time. While technically all species within Caprinae pass through her flock, the vast majority of them are sheep and goats. Though, the rare instances when she does have a ghostly muskox pass through are usually quite memorable.
  • Exploding Sheep of The Netherworld: She can will sheep to explode in a burst of hellfire, which is like fire but blue. It is extinguishable like normal fire is, but it certainly looks spookier. The souls of the incendiary sheep disperse and eventually return in one piece, but it's a pain in the ass to deal with because they often end up separated from the rest of the flock.
• Baaaaa-ckstory: Born to Sophia and Walter Lambert, a nurse and a garbage truck driver, respectively. Dad smells better than you'd think he would. She's lived a generally normal life so far, one of being awake for most nights. Her family has lived in this town since the 17th century, and they've got a number of relations that live within 30 miles of their house. She herself isn't keen on spending time with the many family get-togethers she attends, but it's free food, at least. Her school life has been badly impacted by her insomnia; her teachers are lenient, because even with medication she suffers, but her GPA hasn't ever done much more than count as barely passing. She's worried as school gets harder that she may slip and not graduate on time, or that even further in the future she won't be able to function in a normal job. It's been smooth enough sailing so far, but she's convinced it won't be easy going ahead.

• Name: Caitlyn Suzuki
• Age: 14
• Appearance: heyo
• Personality: Seems pretty lazy and laid back when you first meet her. While she is still laid back when you get to know her better, it becomes clear she's not lazy. Rather, she's just tired all the time. She's not very good at getting sleep. Even despite this, she makes an effort to be nice to those she meets. It's very hard to get on her bad side, and even when you do it'll seem more like she's disappointed with you.. Tends to worry about other people more than herself. Is the mom friend. When she's transformed she becomes much more awake and alert, but also more easily distracted.
• Powers:
  • Beckon: She can draw the attention of anyone within 5 yards (about 4.5 meters).
  • Physical Boost: She's overall stronger and faster when transformed. She also has better senses of smell, hearing, and better night vision. (Max lifting weight is approx. 300 lbs., max speed is about 30 m/h.) She also gains cat-like claws, which are her main weapon.
  • Koban Summon: Can summon a giant koban for use as a shield, somewhat ineffective thrown object, or general heavy thing. (It's about 4 1/2 feet tall and three inches thick.) Considering Caitlyn has trouble lifting it, even when transformed, it must be pretty heavy. Despite appearing to be made of gold, it's not. It's very durable and can withstand many types of physical and magical attacks, but still conducts heat and electricity like most metals. It seems to automatically repair itself when de-summoned. If it's broken it'll automatically disappear to whatever realm Caitlyn summoned it from.
  • Regeneration: She can heal faster than the average human, though it's not instant. Most wounds will heal within a few days, though larger wounds like broken bones take up to a week or longer. (Also, in the case of a broken bone she still needs to wear a cast to make sure the bone heals properly, lest she need to rebreak the bone and have it heal again the right way.)
• Backstory:
  • Born to Ken and Jennifer Suzuki, Caitlyn lived a pretty average life. She went to school, got average grades. She got picked on a little for falling asleep in class, but that's probably the most of it. When she was ten, her parents divorced. Despite it being amicable, Caitlyn still feels guilty about her parents' split. She currently lives with her father, and spends weekends with her mother.
• Other: Even before getting powers, she was good with cats. Stray cats tended to flock to her house.

Erm another question, are we allowed to have a magical familiar a la Kero-kun from Cardcaptor Sakura?

• Name: Sola Sumner
• Age: 15
• Appearance: Transformed and untransformed.
• Personality: Sola isn't one to wear her heart on her sleeves. She's not very good at talking with people, but she's always earnest and determined with everything she does, even if it's not obvious. She does have issues with staying focused on a task, either working at it to the exclusion of everything else or forgetting about it every 10 minutes.
• Powers:
  • Fire Control: Sola can create and control fire. She can either simply use fire to attack, or create very simple constructs, like whips of fire, jets to fly with, or wreathe herself in flames.
  • Fiore: A magical weapon that can transform into either a spear, a sword, or a bow and arrow depending on Sola's needs. However, it will always have a motif of burning flowers.
  • Fire Doorway: Sola can step into a fire and come out in a different fire that is within her line of sight. She can also use fire as a sort of hammerspace (this is where her clothes and such go when she transforms), though she can only put an object in if she can hold it herself (so, for example, a bag that she can carry is fine. A car is not.)
  • Minor Plant Control: Sola can exert a small amount of control over plants. Essentially enough to make them grow (to the normal size for their species) and become healthier. If she really worked at it she could possibly convince a bonsai tree to grow in a shape she wanted without using wires.
• Backstory: Sola's mother is a chemistry professor at a college near the town, while her father runs a flower store in the town. Her life has been fairly uneventful so far, though she often struggles academically, especially in English class.
• Other: N/A

If you want your character to be able to summon a non-sentient magical construct, then that's fine. However, fully intelligent familiars aren't allowed.

@Carol: Now that's an amusing powerset. I'll be assuming that "Sheep of the Netherworld" isn't in effect until after Carol receives her powers, but beyond that everything looks good to me. However, I would like to warn you that ovine hoofed mammals may not be present in all loops (there's at least one idea I'm kicking around where they're unlikely to have ever evolved).

If you think you can work with that, than Carol is accepted.

As for everyone else, I'll get to your signups as you finish them. Just make sure to let me know.

edited 26th Jun '16 2:42:05 PM by Yomegami

Mine is mostly finished, and aww XD, actually had planned something Fidget-like XD well, wasn't important anyway so no prob and thanks for the clarification

edited 26th Jun '16 2:43:27 PM by Sergey_Smirnov

Yep, all of that looks fine to me.

• Name: Leah Drake / Masked Galangelo
• Age: 15
• Appearance: Really intense-looking.◊ Leah comes in at 5 foot nothing and dresses in a lot of extremely light layered clothes, always putting a lot of effort into her appearance. As Masked Galangelo, Leah is covered in a dark red bodysuit with a chestpiece, gauntlets, shoulder pads, and boots of chiseled white marble. A pair of oversized chisels, each about a meter long, protrude out of her shoulders with the heads sunken into the stone. She wears a helmet over the top half of her face, also of marble, with eyes carved into the facade but with her mouth left exposed.
• Personality: Leah really likes to talk things out. If not to anyone around her, then to herself. She says she's got a head made of brick, and that there's no room in there for any thoughts. Which is also reflective of a knack for metaphor and aphorism and an inability to be particularly clear on anything without a comparison like that. She's really, really into transparency at all times and wants everyone to always have their facts straight. Conversely, liars, cheats, and tricksters are actual garbage; at least a bully or a ruffian will have the decency to be upfront about their evil.
• Powers:
  • Leah can transform into MASKED GALANGELO by combining her two-part transformation artifact together—a shoulder sash with what appears to be a small cube of marble on it and a chisel with a white handle and black blade. Her armor makes her weigh about 300 pounds but enhances her strength along with it, allowing her to leap about ten feet in the air, run just as fast as she normally could, and flip cars with one hand.
  • CHI-CHI-CHI-CHISEL! Leah can take the chisels off her shoulders and wield them as bladed weapons. If she strikes dirt or stone with the heads, she can magically grasp and shape it.
  • CARVING DRIVER! Leah can conjure a bicycle out of thin air to ride. It is black, with very chunky, flat surfaces.
• Backstory: Leah's parents are both architects, and she's pretty well-off for it. She learned all about function and form from them, how sometimes form has a function. They supported her own personal sense of design while still pushing her to make things even better, to get the stuff in her head out there into the world. She was never very good, but instead she just decided to do things her own way, with really really heavy questioning and conversation. When she went into school she developed a solid aptitude for the language arts; her parents are still sorta trying to pivot from their own expertise at architecture to try to help her out.

Well, regarding sentient familiars- They could actually be extensions of the Magical Girl herself, thus technically qualifying under the "Duo" rule. However, as a familiar/mascot, they obviously wouldn't be as powerful as an actual Second Magical Girl Character. So I don't see any issues there.

Though, hereditary powers is a little more difficult- Since there is all these time loops, it could technically be possible for an older Magical Girl from an earlier cycle to have had a child. However, the only reasonable way for the Player to be the daughter instead is if the mother has Biology or Time powers and thus aged her. That, or said daughter is actually an Artificial Human of some kind.

This sounds like fun. I'll give it a shot.

• Name: Xiu Li
• Age: 15
• Appearance': 5'3", skinny and fair-skinned. She has silky black hair, meticulously maintained, which frames her face and falls to her shoulder blades. She doesn't like the way it draws attention to her forehead and eyebrows, but she hasn't found another style she likes any better. Her eyes are honey-colored, which at a glance are the only thing that gives away the American side of her heritage. Her resting expression is naturally pensive. Here's a picture, for reference.
• Personality: Serious, contemplative, and bookish. Xiu has always been reserved and shy, but despite harboring a distinctly antisocial attitude, she throws herself fully into anything that can keep her out of prolonged conversations. Her best friend is her own brain, and she keeps to it as much as she can get away with. If questioned, she tends to feel the need to justify her every step.
• Powers:
  • Literary Materialization: Xiu's weapon is an intricate silver fountain pen◊. Not only does it never run out of ink, it has the power to bring any word she writes to life, causing it to spring forth from whichever surface she wrote it on. For example, if Xiu wanted a shield, she could write the word "shield" on a piece of paper, then cause a shield to pop out of the paper. The objects she creates are perfect replicas of what they are meant to be, but if destroyed, they will de-materialize within a few seconds, and once the object has appeared, the writing that summoned it will vanish as if it was never there to begin with. She is only able to summon inanimate, non-living objects, and she cannot summon anything too large or overly-complex. This means that (for example) while some sort of firearm could be summoned, neither a train nor a computer would be possible.
  • The world is my open book: Xiu is not limited to paper for her canvas. As long as she is writing on some sort of solid surface, she can cause objects to appear out of just about anything; including her own body or the bodies of others. Summoning objects out of a living thing is an extremely painful process for them, however, so Xiu is not likely to use herself as her own canvas.
  • I have a contingency: Xiu can delay the appearance of an object she is writing into reality by up to sixty seconds. If she wants there to be a delay at all, she must determine the length at the time of writing. Using this power, she can also determine the speed and momentum with which the object springs from the surface. It can either pop out gently, so that the object can be immediately retrieved by her or someone else, or it can be jettisoned out at high speed, or any speed in between.
  • Sometimes you need a do-over: At any time, Xiu can "erase" objects she has summoned with a swish and flick of her pen. The objects dissolve like the dispersion of ink paint in water, starting from the line she traces through them. She can choose to only dissolve a section of the object, or the entire thing at once. Finally, Xiu can also cause all of her materialized objects to vanish immediately.
• Backstory: Xiu's father is a first-generation Chinese immigrant, and her mother is pretty sure her side of the family has been in the US for at least the last few generations. Her parents are loving in the way only strict, pushy parents can be, but they're not picky about what it is she winds up doing; as long as she continues to get good grades and they don't sense a lack of enthusiasm from her in regards to her schooling, that is. When she was younger, Xiu was eager to become someone famous and wealthy, but since her teenage years began, she's grown less and less certain that she wants to do much of anything at all.
• Other: The summoned objects do not convey any sort of mastery. If Xiu summoned a gun, her lack of hand-eye coordination would not suddenly go away. Xiu's power is mostly for utility, and any fighting she takes part in will probably involve her trying to keep her distance while formulating a plan. That said, objects she summons are still extensions of her artifact, meaning that anything she can pierce with her magic will likely be vulnerable to the objects she creates, as well.

By the way, just wanting to point out I don't intend to join. Really only gonna make the occasional comment. Though the cast so far does seem pretty interesting, so how long until you start up the Roleplay Yome?

I'll probably start the RP within a couple weeks or so; I'm still figuring some last-minute things out about the setting.

So onto the completed submissions....

@Maike: I'm not seeing anything overly objectionable here, and can't think of anything else to comment on, so consider her accepted.

@Leah: Again, I'm not seeing anything overly objectionable here. She's also accepted.

@Xiu: As someone who's played a lot of Scribblenauts in the past, I know very well how being able to summon anything by just writing it is hilariously, ridiculously broken. Even if she doesn't have instant mastery over any weaponry she might summon...why summon weapons when she could just summon Cthulhu to just stomp on whatever opposes her? Even the downside that whatever she summons might turn on her is easily dealt with when she can just erase them once she's done. So either you'll need to massively nerf it or come up with a different power for her.

And on a different note, by "artifact" I'm assuming you're talking about her pen? Because I'm not seeing anything else that meets that description in your signup sheet.

@Everyone: I feel the need to reiterate this: the forum and roleplaying rules ARE enforced here. If you want to be a douchebag and make everything unfun for everyone else, I will not hesitate to boot you out of the RP and, depending on the circumstances, possibly sic a moderator on you as well. We're here to have fun, yes? So please, respect your fellow players.

edited 26th Jun '16 5:31:51 PM by Yomegami

I don't have a problem nerfing my character, but maybe calm down a bit, yeah? Asking for a nerf is understandable; calling me a douchebag and threatening to sic a moderator on me is going a little far.

What sort of nerf would you be alright with? My intention was to have Xiu only summon inanimate objects, so no living things or whatever, but it looks like I forgot to add that onto my sheet, so that's definitely my bad. Would that be alright with you?

Well the Cthulhu example doesn't really work, given that'll just end up killing everyone and since she'll be the closest she'll have basically to erase it in a split second. So obviously any area-of-effect attacks like that are out.

I'm pretty sure Yome actually messed up a bit with the phrasing/timing there- He just wants to make sure everyone will be polite and well-behaved.
