Evil's Return (redux): Sign-Up - Page 6

rapter: ...I can't say I'm particularly thrilled about "imbue essence" ability...for a number of reasons. First off, by and large, these aren't eastern-style "nature" demons/spirits. There aren't any "ice demons" or "fire demons" or "wind demons" per se. Most demons fall into the category of "has claws/teeth/talons and attacks by biting your head off/cutting you to shreds/tearing your intestines out of your mouth". As such, I'm not really sure what kind of "abilities" the bullets will get from the "essence", other than filling them with demonic energy, which would make them less effective against demons.

If you can give me a good reason/rationale for it to work, I'll let you keep it...otherwise, no.

bard: I figured you were using your inkling in magic as your ability. So unless you want to ditch your magic, the answer would be "yes, I do mind".

Never mind then.

That probably came across as harsher than I intended, sorry. But I wanted to get my point across. Really, back when I set up this game the first time, the reason why I went to such great lengths to keep technology and magic separate-yet-equal was to keep everyone from being magic-using gunslingers...which I'm actually letting a few people try this time around. However, "magic-using gunslingers PLUS an additional special ability" was just a bit much for me to allow.

Edited, sorry about the whole imbue thing didn't know the demons didn't have natural abilities like fire, ice, etc.

I understand, I just misinterpreted it, and I can see were you are coming from not wanting us to become over powered.

Is it too late to sign up for this one? I have an idea for a undead from birth, and raised by carnes. Specifically, raised by "the world's only 3 legged man."

Toastburner B · 08-27-2009, 09:25 PM

rapter: That's alright, but try not to go overboard with it. And remember that zooming in with your vision will also narrow down what you're seeing...you know...you see it closer, but you have less peripheral vision. And try to keep your "zooming in" ability to that of a good rifle scope...that is to say: no, you can't see into space, and no, you can't read over someone's shoulder at 3 miles. :p

Approved.

Fantabulate: Sure, you can still sign-up...but with a premise other than that, please. The undead are a card I am holding in reserve...there may not even be any undead this time around. Please try to limit your character to the (living) human race.

Can I still be a demon-siding, carne-raised human, then?

P.S: When does this start? Has it already started, or does it start up some time in the next few weeks?

I'll try to get the profile started up tommorow.

Nope, no demon siding, everyone on the same team. In my experience, most PvP RPs don't work out well, unless its stat based, and I really don't want to try to work up stats for this mess.

As it when it starts, probably not until this weekend sometime, I have to work the next few days, and I don't know if I'll have time to do so before then.

Well there we have it, bio's done. Nothing special, but hey, I've got slacking to get back to.
