We're pretty well protected from a total party kill, given we have someone who's already dead and can't die again.

The hockey stadium thing sounds familiar, but I can't place it. What is it?

How did a god who historically flooded Morrowind to deal with an invasion get accepted? @_@ Um... sorry if this seems rude, but can you please stop trying to help with the Nasuverse and leave it to the people playing characters from it, Stephan? It's honestly just confusing matters, sorry. >.<

Well, there are good reasons to ignore or rewrite parts of the canon of Nasuverse to fit the RP. I'm confused as to how yall are doing it :P

>Go to an arena (hockey stadium is preferable), rig it with enough explosives to make Michal Bay blush, call out TATARI's name three times, then blow the place up when he appears.

Ahh, good old Henderson

...and some damn ninjas.

Hmmm.

You should do some careful study. http://completematerial.pbworks.com/w/page/32479544/Index

Q: Conceptual Weapons are fixed magical items which execute a predetermined phenomenon. They're soul smashers ("outbreakers") that beat the opponent not physically but with the weight of the soul, but would it be possible to kill only the soul of a normal person, rather than something supernatural? A: Yes, but the effect would be reduced. Or rather, against a mundane opponent, mere physical attacks would suffice. Physical interference is not possible against formless things, such as manifestations of laws or delusions. That's why Conceptual Weapons exist, because beings that exist via concepts can only be killed by concepts.

This along with many other things you'll find in official material.

The only thing on this list that we have present is in Kirei's possession. Umm... once again, sorry to be rude, but can you please stop with the Nasuverse stuff? You're just getting things confused.

Really, I'm sorry. :(

You do realize Heroic Spirits aren't concepts(neither are many, many things in the Nasuverse), and not every magical weapon in the Nasuverse is a conceptual weapon, right?

And besides, if we fight the Night of Wallachia himself, he'll be forced into a physical form. We're not going to be fighting TATARI, we'll be fighting Zepia(the Night of Wallacha's humanoid form). For one thing, it's impossible to fight TATARI.

The challenge will be fine.

Conceptual Weapons don't work on the TATARI's "rumour" form anyway, otherwise Ciel would've just ran in with the Seventh Holy Scripture and ended him before he could do anything.tongue

Careful study.

Its fine that you choose to change canon, or view canon so differently that it doesn't match up. Because the canon wouldn't fit in this situation.

That is the trouble, Nasu is never direct about what is what.

'Conceptual' in this case doesn't seem to mean that it attacks a concept, just that it attacks something without bothering with the the physical side of things, and are still dependent on you having at the very least some kind of spiritual presence. Which I suspect means they don't work on mister sentient rumour anyway.

If only because that would have been one short-ass game if they did.

Conceptual weapons, by appearances, work by imposing a concept on something. If it's invulnerable, it's 'can be damaged'. Weapons for killing ghosts and stuff. Conceptual defences do the opposite: 'can never be pierced', 'nothing below this rank can cause harm'. Nothing to do with attacking concepts at all. @_@

But... I'm not changing canon, or viewing it incorrectly. I spend a lot of time making sure I get canon details correct when it comes to writing things for canon settings.

Then if you are interested I can point you to who I go to for expert advice on the nasuverse. But it would be wise to keep an open mind. Just don't tell her I sent you as she's usually angry at me for one thing or another because I question everything she says about the nasuverse repeatedly and many of the questions I ask are answered in the source, the Visual Novels, if you pay attention.

Hello everyone... I'm the Big Bean, and my Sifuri character just got accepted. I hope we'll all get along quite nicely.

I don't like the Nasuverse that much, so it's not my place to enter this conversation... so, let me ask, who here has watched the latest Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles show? Most of my friends don't wanna watch it because they keep saying the 1987 version was better, and they hate the fact they don't say "cowabunga" anymore...

I've seen parts of 1987 and 2005 versions, but nothing of 2010.

@Anathema: Oh, right. Sorry, I thought you thought they attacked concepts. The thing is, they still wouldn't work. Making a rumour able to be harmed is pointless, because there's no physical or spiritual form to attack.

Unless the concept you imposed on it was the concept of it having a vulnerable body, which is exactly what we're doing. In a sense.

[up][up][up][up] Not wanting to offend you, Stephan, but if there's anyone who I would consider a person to go for expert advice when it comes to Nasuverse, it would be Moe and Anno. I've not only seen them display her expertise about the setting, but I've also gotten into arguments which were resolved after they've used their knowledge of the Nasuverse.

A way to see this is that you just told monks that spent years studying a book that they don't know that much about the book, that they should study more and that they should consult your source.

[up][up][up] Oh, man, I love the new series! I don't mind much the whole thing about the 1987 series, partly because I didn't grow up watching it.
