You don't always need multiple paragraphs, though. Like, for instance, the situation that just happened where a bunch of us just responded our characters saluting in kind. If you had written two whole paragraphs for that post I would have accused you of purple prose.

I respectfully disagree. I feel like writing all those tiny little posts is unecassary, when we could just have a few longer posts, and move things along and get stuck into RP.

Titans of Earth

I feel like in it's current stage, this RP is less casual and more free role play. I feel as though rather than making all these short posts, Famotill, you should make a longer post getting the introduction done with, and then allow us to start RPing good and proper. I'm waiting until that point is reached before posting IC, because I don't have much to write about right now.

@Scarifar: The fly/elephant/badger or whatever you create should NOT be allowed to read minds or dance or sing, or do anything they cannot normally do in real life. Why on earth would your fly suddenly be special and have the ability to read minds? Why can't it just be a normal fly? That's all I'm going to say until the GM responds to this issue, because I'm not in charge here, and I'm coming across as a bit of an asshole, trying to force you to change your power. Sorry.

@ FiendishFox Perhaps the word "object" was a poor choice of words, and I mean things that didn't have sentient minds, but yes, giving mere objects "enchanted abilities" is quite OP. I am trying to change it as much as I can to the point where it is manageable and acceptable. Plus, objects don't really "turn into" automatons on their own. I could say something, like, an outer shell of metal and plastic designed to mimic the appearance of a fly, and maybe even basic blueprints of the automaton itself.

But why the need for automatons and mind-reading flies in the first place? Serves no purpose but to OP your character. Being able to turn drawings to real life is a powerful ability in itself when used correctly, and that is the power you applied for with your CS. If you are insisting on all these powers then at the very least I think you should have to re-apply, seeing as your power has changed so much.

Titans of Earth

My problem is this. His CS says "Powers/Abilities: Able to bring an object/being from a picture into real life. If the object is a weapon, he is able to use it to its fullest extent." He states he brings objects into real life. Not brings them into real life and gives them enchanted abilities or turn them into automaton's disguised as flies. Just randomly adding powers in during IC is pretty silly and allows people to create OP characters. The objects created should be just that, objects.
Edit: Yes we list emotions. Emotions that are private, and no character would know, except someone with the superpower related to that. We already have someone who can read emotions, why do your flies/automatons/whatever, also need to do this? There is no point except to try and OP your character.

I can set limitations to said mind-reading, sure, but beyond that, I don't think I can do much, because if I do more, then almost EVERYTHING would be blocked off, which kinda destroys the point for having a flexible power like his.

Well you can limit it so the creations don't have powers of their own..An elephant should not be able to fly when summoned it should just do elephanty things. It doesn't block off everything- you can still summon stuff, it just has normal abilities, not OP stuff like mind-reading for a fly. Additionally, your CS mentioned nothing about creations having superpowers, so I think that is an issue in itself. You've omitted information from the CS, and now IC you've decided to have it appear..

@Fam: Sounds fine to me. Also if you are waiting on Mattmangannon, or whatever his name is, I wouldn't. He has posted in other RPs and appears to have abandoned this RP (look at his profile) and waiting on someone like that may just slow everything down. However, the decision rests with you, that was just a suggestion.

EDIT: Scarifar, in your IC post you say your creations can do almost everything. What exactly does that mean, because if a little fly can do everything an entire facility of heroes can do, then all we need is an army of Artist's drawings, which seems a little silly. It also renders people's abilities null and void, and also less unique, if your creations can do everything we can do.

I'll get a post up tommorow, sorry for the wait.

@Kilo6: Ah okay, still new to this site so I wasn't sure if you intentionally did the formatting for the profile. Anyway I figured the best way to explain a backstory is through rping so I didn't want to ruin that for players by adding that section to the bio sheet. In saying that, I think it would hypocritical of me to ask you to PM the info on her, as it's not really a huge deal. If you believe that it will fit with the laws and lore of the universe then I will trust your judgement, and let you explain through RP.@FiendishFox: It seems that you've got a good handle on keeping the character balanced but I do have like one or two questions. I'm assuming since you said alive or dead that Nikolai can move humans? If so, I'd probably ask that at least for now, he not be that capable in terms of ability unless you can explain it, because I can be a bit slow and may be understanding it incorrectly. Also you said he prefers to have a vantage point, so does his ability make him stationary? Either way, he's accepted! Welcome to Sanctum!

The ability does make him stationary, yes. I did intend that he could move humans, but if you don't want him having that power it's fine. Would animals be alright?
