Only thing i cant stand right now is not owning BOTW.


It's p. Gr8 right now. I got a horse and named it Horse.
i've been so tired lately..... anyways anyone want to comment on my WIP character?


If you have a direct question about something for your character I can help buuuuuuttt

Otherwise I'm withholding comments and reviews until we read complete character sheets.
I'm going to revamp and upgrade my character. I've finished the Manga and realized he is just a hair on the weak side. I'll have it ready for the OOC, unless you want it submitted before then.


It shouldn't be another day or so until we start the thread so hold off to submit to the OOC :).
umm....... i think i must take back my interest.... there are too many people here for me to be comfortable, sorry.


Please also note we are not accepting everyone who has submitted.
@Kouki
Hey hey is this still open for weapons?


We haven't begun character sheet reviews, feel free to submit here, bat around ideas, ask questions. We will need anyone and everyone who submitted here to submit their character sheet again in the official OOC.
So my dear precious butt lumps, I'm gonna write a solo post kicking us off from Elysium. If you guys have any collabs on the go that still need to be a thing on the planet, lemme know and I'll hold off on posting until then.
@Kouki The one major case in both the show (Maka and Soul turning their backs to find Crona) and the manga is when they actively disobey the order to kill Crona.

Regardless, DWMA certainly does share some aspects of Military School but it still is a unique enough set up that it can't be compared directly to military school. It's a really weird in between sort of academy. Y'know besides the obvious being supernatural 'n all.

Edit: Which reminds me, when you mentioned ranks. Are we going to try to apply the 1-2-3 Star Meister rankings? SPARTOI were 2 Star Meisters.
@Kouki Black*Star is always the weird and ridiculous exception. The guy literally grabs lasers and throws them back and then proceeds to eat an attack from Vajura. Like -

Look at this dork:

<Snipped quote by DearTrickster>

For an EAT student (Especially Advantaged Talent Class), classes are battle, they're synonymous for one another, that's the world of an EAT student. Hell, they're considered part of the DWMA's military. They're the 10% of the entire school that have already proven to be extraordinary. Their class assignments include fighting the demonic spirit of Jack the ripper, taking on a possessed god mummy in an ancient pyramid and assassinating the yakuza.

Yeah, if it's sinking in, assassinations are extra-credit assignments.

Realistically, a student who is both an EAT student (the elite 10% of the school) and a candidate for Spartoi (The elite 10% of said elite 10%) can't be inexperienced. Diana's weaker than Maka, which, by Maka's own admission, is pretty weak. And I'm talkin' at the start of the series so that's pretty bad.

You have to remember that EAT students are already only 10% of the actual school, to be an EAT class student period means you're capable of advanced level combat. And to be a Spartoi candidate, you have to be a two-star level combatant which is the highest a student can be. Meaning, to be-

<Snipped quote by Three>

Speaks exponentially of your skill level.

Again, context is key.

What you guys describe are the constraints of a NOT student but EAT is essentially a military institution with being ready for military level dangers a prerequisite for attending classes.


Hrm fair points. My only note is that DWMA certainly has the power of a militant force but I'm not sure about EAT students being treated or executing themselves in such a disciplined manner of a typical military. Since they are, still students. Otherwise you make a good point in regards to experience, EAT isn't the shallow end of the pool.
<Snipped quote by Three>

The use of the word "merely" makes me feel like you misunderstand what constitute's as "age appropriate" in this universe's context.


What they mean is Diana isn't battle hardened or have nearly as much experience as say someone who even has a year worth of collecting souls and battling monsters. That kind of experience is nothing against simple classroom environments and training.

<Snipped quote by Kouki>

Not really? Even considering the nature of the world, the younger someone is the more important a gap in experience can be. The gap between someone who's been training for a handful years/hasn't ever had to fight for her life because of coddling parents and someone who's been training for only a couple of years moreso is going to be much more than the same couple of years' gap when the two have been training for several decades. She's competent and was deemed solid enough to be sent an offer letter, but when push comes to shove she just doesn't have much real combat experience that's not from sparring.


Exactly. What they said lol. @Kouki Realistically for EAT students their training (like with all things) isn't really tested until thrown up against the real thing.

(bonus points Three for making a note of that in your CS)

@olcharlieboi It's not a race. We don't have the official thread up yet, that is when we're going to put a deadline for CS submission and where you can submit your final CS for review.
