Decided to try my hand at a G Ming once more...

Alright, let's see...

  • This (maybe) rp will be focused on the freedom of doing whatever your character wants to do during a quest to become free of a deranged author... as well as the consequences that occurs because of it. An NPC killed might result in a future assassin coming after you, saving somebody might not be the best of choices, and other fun stuff. The world shall and will react accordingly, no free rides. Equal oppurtunities and whatnot.
  • There is an Equal But Opposite Reaction factor here, the more powerful characters has more limits placed on them due to the Sacrifice System.
  • Make almost any character you want... and be prepared to have them suffer, break, befriend, love, kill, protect anything you want... But beware the consequences of your actions.
  • Try to make a unique character with flaws, no God-Mode Sue or anything like that. Possible Deconstruct a trope or two... the more Deconstructions the better...
  • Learn new abilities from others, evolving past your initial character entry. Gain new items (whether by stealing, buying, or accepting) to help make your quest easier.

And... that's about the bare bones.

Give me some opinions on how to make this better or tell me if it sucks.

You do realise that the guy's labelled a 'sadist' god for a reason? tongue

Hmm... how about I turn him into a Sleep-Mode Size loli? Sealed Evil in a Can, basically. [lol]

[up]That makes for a good Sacrifice actually...

Term of Importance: Sacrifice is the inherent level of evolution your skills have. The more you lose... the more you gain. The more you have, the more you lose. Makes for good balancing system.

Now then... I need help thinking of the setting...

Modern setting, Magitek. Think Mid-Childa, if that makes sense to you. Alternatively, Medieval with basic Magitek. XD

Also likely to be a massively complicated binding, such that her*

skills in the body are completely non-existent. Being a Time Abyss is going to be helpful for knowledge, though.

[up] That works too, though I'm trying to go for a lot of different places too...

Hm... what do you think of a library, with the characters inside the pages of one novel crossing into another for a change of location?

I just though up a Mind Hive / One-Man Army / Legacy Character / Ressurective Immortality character.

Ooh, I like the sound of the library idea... Although modern day Magitek also sounds like fun. Mind you, they're not exactly mutually exclusive, so...

Anyways, I have a vague idea for a character I want to try out. A Stepford Smiler Magical Girl, who has been growing steadily more powerful as time passes, but as she does so her humanity starts slowly slipping away, which is something that she's trying to hide from everyone for as long as she possibly can. I still need to hammer out a few kinks in the idea, but, um, yeah. >.>

[up][up] Does he have any weaknesses? I imagine his Sacrifice is going to be pretty huge if he's an immortal that can resurrect himself... tongue

[up] Sounds cool, dawg. tongue

Death Seeker, MASSIVE mental issues, the fact the resurrection makes him 18, loses him all his experience with his powers, memories and could possibly have him on the other side of the world (and any gender at that. Or any species.), he's dead if his soul is destroyed, he's a Glass Cannon....
Need any more?

[up][up] Phantasm here literally can't die and that ability's tied to their shell 'cause... well, who wants the fully powered version back? XD

I think the person most likely to be responsible for the sealing would be Creation... AKA his twin sister.

Anyway.

The library ideas sounds interesting but... moving from one book to another just seems... odd. Dimension-hopping with a library as The Hub? Fun. Book characters? Strange.

Well... the library system is how souls get reborn. You end your life in one book and move on to the next one in a never ending pattern. That's the normal cycle for people once they reach The End.

However, one of the caretakers decided to tinker around with the books, aka creation itself, and now things have become a lot more grim in the works he meddled with... And so, in necessity, some characters can freely breach other works in order to try to stop the mysterious Author...

@GCR: That's good.

His powers are the manipulation of nanites in his bloodstream, to create any weapon imaginable. Vehicles count as weapons. Nanites are created on a needs basis, by altering the amount of electrons, protons and neutrons in an atom, and the atom's atomic bonds.
He has to be touching the thing for it to work.
He's also a deconstruction of One-Man Army, being that every governement wants to kill him to dissect him and create more soldiers out of him. He's under the protection of several city-states, but he protects them more than they protect him. He gives his life to his secret identity as "The Squad."
Did I mention this is all the year 2769?

Nannies? He has microscopic elderly ladies in his blood that gives him these powers? tongue

iPad corrects Nanites to Nannies for some reason.

Well, he seems a bit too powerful still. How about he only has a limited amount of nanites for usage, and that there's a cooldown time between creations so he has to use them more strategically? And the bigger the weapon, the more time before he can make another?

To answer the upcoming question: Yes, there is a 30 second time delay on weapons dissapating. That's how his kinetic weapons work.
