After having a talk with Pierce and given the direction this roleplay is heading, I'm going to be removing previous limitations I fairly gave my characters. He has agreed to this.

Umm, don't you need the player's permission to kill off their own character?

He left the RP awhile ago. And since he didn't write them out the character is effectively an NPC.

If you don't post for a month and don't tell anyone you're busy, you've effectively left in a disrespectful manner, especially if you're posting elsewhere anyway. Plus, Pierce allowed me to, as you see above. Nothing personal, just a little fun.

And it's disrespectful to kill off someone's character without their written permission, but okay. Just don't start killing off my characters or anyone else's characters cause they haven't posted in over a month. :P

Being afk periodically is not breaking any rules listed, if anything that is the GM's call to kick an role-player from the/a role-play at their discretion. If a kick is being put into place on the grounds of inactivity, to me that is permissible. Killing characters simultaneously is what has happened in recourse of other role-plays (at least the ones i have participated in). Because it alleviates the role-players of getting stuck in a conversation, event, or string of plans enveloped with that afk OC. I do however strongly disagree with the death of an inactive's character, ESPECIALLY when their death is canon, it means if at any point they return from a real life issue that has an immediate impact on their online activities and personal obligations, they couldn't even resume after a summary. In Wolfe's case, he bowed out from what I am understanding of what Sole is saying, others that haven't posted in an even larger window of time (Hero and doc are among these people) have characters that are still alive, but are essentially not contributing, so what do you do about them?

If you call a month or two 'periodic', then we're going to have to disagree. That death was not the result of a couple weeks absence, that was the result of two months inactivity and not a word of being busy from them. As Pierce made mention to me, ColorMeEvil is gone, and had not made plans to return to the plot. In fact from what I've read he just doesn't have any idea what he likes to do any more and has withdrawn, once again what Pierce mentioned above. ColorMeEvil was not stuck, he was not waiting on anyone, he has basically withdrawn without a word here but rather over Skype to Pierce at some point in the past, and would not accept his aid to get back into things. He is an NPC now, and I already got permission from the GM to eliminate inactive members of the cast who have zero interest in returning to the plot. Wolfe had respected Pierce enough to send a pm informing us of his approaching absence due to real life obligations, and so I have no qualms with Minoru being left to go on off-screen adventures in the desert sea and whatever worlds he ends up next. He made an effort to get into the plot, he made an effort to interact with other characters, and that is effort ColorMeEvil did not offer. His character had no established ties with anyone and so he was just a loose end I used to remind the viewers of a background party at play manipulating things as best they could. It would be no different if I had Pepper, Pierce's character, do it. She'd be dead either way. What I do with Doc is leave him be for the time being, as his character's death does not serve an immediate purpose. Furthermore, he gave us word he was having a rough patch in his life and posting would prove difficult, if not impossible. He gave us all warning, he respected us enough to do so, and so I see no real need to remove Tristan. Hero's character is in the same boat, her death serves nothing right now, but as I know Hero from another site her disappearances are often. Pierce and I knew this, we were not surprised by her absence. Coriander's character serves no purpose as it is and Kal quite clearly has no interest in returning to the roleplay, so at least with his death I might be able to set another plot-advancement up. All this in mind, I got permission from the one who directs this roleplay, and he had allowed it under the conditions I put forward. Should you still have a problem, take it up with him in PM's or over Skype, because I won't retcon the event unless he tells me to, and I seriously doubt someone gone for two months voluntarily has any interest in what happens in the story any longer. I clearly warned everyone in the last page, nearly two weeks ago, of my intentions to remove inactive characters and no one had said anything then. tl;dr - Take it up with Pierce, otherwise don't know what to tell you. His 'call' was allowing me to remove him via IC death.

ColorMeEvil left and did not have any interest in the RP. The fact of the matter is, if you do not wish for your character to be killed off, you should express that in some way. I don't really care how it is in other RPs, I'm just telling you how it works in this one.

I'm looking at in terms of how this could affect me, while simultaneously doing the same to existing role-players of the rp itself and I question the integrity because this was not plainly listed in the rules upon joining. God forbid any one of us go afk due to college, traveling abroad, vacation, or any offline obligatory demands that fill the shoes of our online time. That being said, I will post this weekend, because I'm in my senior year and double majoring, please forgive my lack of online presence.

I've already made clear why I made the decision, and I already received permission to do it.If you still don't understand why the decision was made, I can't do much more about it. I'm gonna let you feel how you want to and keep doing my thing.

Izanagi's uncle is in town and staying with him, so posting will be a little tougher for him to do for a time. He's still in.

Posted a very wordy conversational post as Salforge. I introduced one of two NPCs, the other I am building a template for to compliment Gavin's backstory. Expect it soon.

I don't mean to purposely double post, but I am giving a very direct forewarning about my activity. I'll more than likely only have the most time on my hands Saturdays, Sundays, and Wednesdays. If you don't hear anything, assume I am up to my ears in papers/essays...

Thank you for the warning PA. I will be making an effort to post sometime between tomorrow and Saturday, I haven't been feeling myself lately and I didn't want it to affect my characters or the story thus far.

Last one, everything else will be cameo. _________________________________ Name: Levi Age: 25 Gender: Female Personality: Levi is in a word, charming. Her intuition is unusually strong, she has a natural sense for communication and persuasion. The woman is extroverted in most every sense of the word, utilizing both charm, wits, and persuasion she has brought many of what were once her enemies to her side. She tends to vote against unnecessary aggression whenever possible, her keen intuition and sense of judgement are slightly above average. Appearance:
Faction: Imperial Army Division I: General "Envi" Weapon: Brynhildr - A two-handed sword that can actually be held with one hand, but not wielded with one. Said to be inheritance of the first born child from each generation of the "????" household, the blade is destined to bond to the first born via a birthmark. Brynhildr is a terrifying weapon, as it offers the wielder a razor sharp edge with innate skills that buff the human senses, voluntary motion such as the gross and fine motor skills. When Brynhildr is held, the senses and voluntary actions are instantly at their peak, when not holding brynhildr, it takes roughly forty minutes for the skills applied to dissociate, the user will begin to notice a change in all their senses over this cool down, this is likely a function of the sword to avoid impairing the user or worse, setting them into a state of shock (think of homeostasis when the body instantly reacts to a spike in blood sugar, and within 30 mins, a drastic amount of the sugar has been removed/dissociated and the body crashes. Same scenario with buffing to debuffing, but its done reasonably slower to avoid passing out.) The Brynhildr possesses one more powerful skill, it can disrupt fields of concentrated magic(s). An example would be while training the mercenary Salforge, she was able to dissociate one of his stronger barriers in a single swing, done so without much effort; This technique is called the "Banishing Blade" by her family, yet can only be unleashed as a counterattack vs. regular attack. In terms of physical stability and durability, Brynhildr fairs well against other forms of steel. Grenades(Sticky/Frag) - This is pretty much self explanatory. Powers/Abilities: Armamentarium - Weapon skill, weapon mastery, weapon proficiency. All things armament, Levi is a seasoned handler. From CQB ballistics, CQC, and Long-Range armaments. Electrolysis - Similar to hyrdolysis, Electro meaning Electricity and lysis meaning "to cut", the general is able to separate electrical currents of passive electrons within her own body to emit non-fatal and non-lethal blasts of electricity. It's applications are, but not limited two charging conductible metals to posses an electric charge, reversing polarity of electrical currents via the state change using Electrolysis. When exposed to water or being submerged in water a discharge occurs and it afflicts the user, destabilizing their inner current for a minimum of one-hundred and twenty seconds. Non-reactive materials, such as the non-reactive gases (All elements in the same column as Helium "element 2") are unaffected by Electrolysis. The 103rd - The One-Hundred and Third is what is known as a web or mechanism of flying orbs, maxing out in total number of one-hundred and three. This skill is what has made Levi famous and discerning of the title "Envi". The orbs she spawns function as a second set of eyes. Normally they are spread around the area, they function as real-time capture devices, which record, and relay information. It has three active modes, one that enables the user to track enemies and locations in real time, one that plays back recorded events, and one that records while the user is at a distance. However, they lack the reliable range that Salforge's Immovable blocks possess, maxing her total range out to about 75 meters. The orbs are non-aggressive and are incapable of inflicting harm. They're actually quite fragile and easily destroyed once spotted. If there is at least one remaining however, it can bud from the nearest one Bio: Levi comes from a strict family, one that prides their reputation, discipline, and honor over all else. Pride to the individual is something that is suppressed in their family, but to Levi it wouldn't end there. She is the first born, with only one other sibling, a younger brother. She was the oldest, but possessed many ideas that were nothing short of groundbreaking, talents that would've helped tremendously. Her father was seen by her as a suppressor, they argued many times over issues that either put levi's life in mortal peril or would tarnish their homes reputation. When Levi was nineteen her father and here had one final fight, a confrontation that could no longer be avoided. This widened the rift between her and her parents, and inevitably she left. It was around this time that the empire had come to invade their home world. Without regret, and fueled by latent rage Levi enlisted under Commander Garforge's first division. Their home was a strong point, and the imperials had no interest in taking it at least at the time. Upon enlisting followers, the empire left along with Levi, finally leaving her home behind her. Regretting that the only one she would miss would be her brother. It's been about six years since that time. She trained General La Roche (Ciel) and the Mercenary Salforge for about three years, before Salforge was drafted to assist the second division of the imperial army. Having dreams of a much stronger, bolder sibling are whats riddled her into a state of intrigue and horror. The Black Prism, an heirloom of their family was moving, and her brother was the carrier. It could mean many omens, the bringer of infinite night...so she thought. Yet...from him, it felt simpler, more rudimentary, she seeks to find out the ambitions of her brother to safeguard the empire from the imminent veil her brother will bring.

I can't allow clairvoyance, it's simply too powerful and abusable for this rp. And the cloning, I'm not really seeing any limits or consequences to using it as much as possible.
