@Raineh:

Just a quick question - can they stay in the "higher" dimensions indefinitely or is there some sort of limit to the time they can stay there (be it concentration, energy, etc.)? If there is a limit, then does that mean the "higher up" they go the less time they can stay?

On a different note, I'm not sure why the sonar goggles have multiple lenses... when only one is over Kestrel's eye at any one time. The only thing I can think of is that since they're essentially emitters the more "lenses" you have the better the return. Doesn't explain why they glow, though.

Given that she was born on the third level, no, not for the lower ones. Problem is that she can't interact with people beyond the first step up (she sounds like she's speaking through a wall) and even there there's the problem that walking through people looks weird for all concerned.

Fourth or up actively pushes people down. Well, if you get high enough, being unprotected actually kills you, so that's not quite true. ^^;

[up][up][up]@Raineh: Actually I think that should be d)! Just what happens when he tries to changes and is rather chaotic, just like what happens when he tries to get the mallet out.

[up][up]Hmm.. I like that one too. So there are now five different things that could happen if he tries to put on pants. And thanks, I really am fond of this character concept - even possible that I'll use a form of it in a tabletop game too.

@Raineh.

It sounds good. I don't completely get it, but I think it's because I skimmed over the bios (I need to re-read the bios anyway) so I'm probably missing something, but I believe I do understand the power's mechanics.

Hey guys, just checking in quickly during a break.

@Uryu & character balance: Not changing my mind on this one. A sword that can cut through anything and can't even be taken from him is overpowered. And the only balancing factor on the arrows is the risk of hitting any or all nearby teammates.

@Multiple characters: when the two characters are an inseperable duo, it's a lot easier for the first-time GM to keep track of what's going on with everyone. tongue Like I said, let the RP run for a while and then I might be comfortable allowing multiple unrelated characters.

@Raineh: I like it. One question: if there're two people up on the plane where thay're intangible/invisible to normal people, are they intangible/invisible to each other?

Pretend there's something clever written here.

Nope. As I said, it's basically another spatial dimension. Imagine that people live in a book. They live in two dimensions—the pages—and you can drag them from one to the next. They can still see everyone on that page, they just can't see those on the other.

Now imagine the pages are thin (so you can half see through them) and you can see opposing pages, and you pretty much have this system minus a dimension. You can see the next level to either side and sort of see the level after.

And, just to remind myself, level 0 is base reality.

@Flanker

- Is it possible that they glow just for artistic sake? I know that the trifocal goggles almost didn't make it if Ubisoft didn't make their case to Clancy himself.

PS - Good to see some familiar people here.

Just kidding. You know, this actually sounds like a rather interesting idea. Well, of course, if Screw accepts it.

Is the ETA for the RP later? Just wishing to check.

@Ominae:

I guess. I can't really think of any reason that would make the glow make sense.

Reven, Korra got accepted. That means that my mind is filled with ideas about what's going to happen. I really can't wait.

I... can't say I like the look of where this is heading. If our characters are just going to be screwed over, screwed with, and generally treated as Cosmic Playthings for the entirety of the roleplay by what appears to be eldritch abominations, can you say now? Because... if it is, I'm going to have to drop out now. I dislike arbitrarily tormenting characters, regardless of the reasoning for it. >.<

Sorry, but I'm gonna have to agree. It's only been two posts. It's like reading the first page of a Fan Fic, seeing the word "porn" and closing it cause you think it's going to be, well.. porn.

What, so making judgements based on the beginning is bad, and I should wait until it gets to the point I'm writing stuff based on obligation and not any sense of fun to pull out, screwing up other people's plans in the process? :/

There's asking for more info, and there's judging things by their cover.

Loco, I'm waiting for the answer first. Why are you two acting like I've completely quit? >.<

... Closest analogy I can think of here is reading the summary, then checking the reviews to see if it's accurate.

I think the best course of action would be, well...

That beginning sounds seriously cosmic horror-y, and I didn't sign up for that. So waiting for an answer on the tone is a good idea.
