Yu-Gi-Oh Occult: Discussion

Ok, let´s get this started! I actually drew a little poster for the first arc, but I don´t know how to post pictures here

Edit a work page, then you will see "image upload"

Alternatively, upload on Deviantart or Imgur.

https://imgur.com/sAXkzL4 Here it is! My art skills aren´t the best, and I did this in a couple hours, but I think it´ll be kinda exciting to see my art develop as the RP progresses! There are a LOT of clues in this poster, but depending on your interpretation, you could also end up having a wrong conclusion on how this arc will play out. So if anyone wants to take a shot at theorizing something, go ahead!

Here's my character◊.

She is the host of the Stardust spirit, and she can communicate with it whenever she has Stardust cards in her hand or duel disk. She has the ability to bring Stardust monsters into the physical realm, but it is extremely taxing to her mentally and physically.

Ok, is the stardust thing only in duels? Because if not, then I´d be a bit worried with you being able to summon a dragon at anytime, cause then there wouldn´t be much reason to duel when you could just blast them with your dragon and stuff, you know?

So since we have 4 people signed up, are we going to start anytime soon or are we waiting for more?

Only in duels, and maybe the Shadow Realm I suppose.

The fourth player hasn't submitted a decklist yet.

Just waiting for the last person to submit their deck! I do have a few places where I can add new players, so it´s ok if we start early

Ok then here´s the thing, your stardust powers actually bypass a limitation that magic usually has in this universe. Cause unless you´re in a punishment game(which would require consent with your opponent) normally you can´t do real damage to them, but with your powers you can do real damage with your stardust monsters even in a regular game.

Psychic abilities and magic are about equally as powerful, but they´re different in how they function, the difference is akin to sorcerers and wizards in Dn D. Magic is much more versitile, cause doing real damage isn´t the only type of punishment game, and there´s really very little limit to what you can bet in a punishment game, so for example you can bet information, and the loser will be forced to tell you what you want to know.

But on the other hand there are two downsides to magic. Firstly it has a lot more rules than psychic powers, as was said before, normally for you to do real damage to someone you have to start a punishment game, which leads to you risking losing something too.

Psychic powers can´t do anything, and normally can only make it so there´s real damage involved. The benefits of it being, that you can initiate real damage whenever you want to, and while your attacks are real, your opponents won´t be unless they have a capibility to do real damage of their own.

The downsides to psychic powers is that if you have a deck that sacrifices life points, you will be taking real damage because your powers will make it real. Also, your powers are based on emotions, meaning they can become unstable if you´re at a bad mental state.

Hmm, then I will just keep the spiritual bond for the time being and remove the psychic power.

Wait, is there gonna be a problem if my character ends up being able to use the abilities of the elements later on?

But I thought your powers weren´t psychic?

What do you mean abilities of the elements? I´m ok, with people having magical abilities and such that aren´t about dueling, like healing and such. The only problem is if that ability is sorta offensive in a nature where there´s no point of dueling and such

The stardust thing is fine, cause there are limitations to it, which makes it different than psychic powers, so there´s no need to change them unless you want to

Alright I will just keep the ability restricted to Shadow games and it doesn't last longer than 5 minutes. If Stardust is destroyed, then my character would feel extreme pain.

Ok got it.

Like, I actually do have a few ideas for elemental abilities. Maybe earth gives a sort of tremor sense of some kind,darkness could give illusions of some kind and so on

Chase is a psychic duelist, but only to the point that both him and his opponent feel an “impact” but no real damage

A possible combo of Fiora's deck if she draws Scorpio and Tengu.◊

Okay so after doing some adapting because banlist, here's my decklist for the deck Drake actually uses. My deckbuilder didn't kick up a fuss with any of the banlists I selected so hopefully this is fine.

Can you label Monsters, Spells, Traps, and Extra Deck?

Aren't the Legendary Dragons (Eye of Timaeus) banned from this RP?

I did not notice that when I was adjusting the list. I kinda assumed Legendary Dragon related to a creature but no the Dragons are spells. I'll see what I can rejigger about the list.

EDIT: Is Prime Material Dragon okay? If so I'll swap out Atomic Firefly and Eye of Timaeus for Prime Material Dragon and Super Polymerization.

What do you intend on summoning with super poly?
