[quote=@chukklehed] I will politely decline to adjust my tone for my job, for several reasons. I talk like this when I might become emotional because it's infinitely better than yelling and screaming, and provides a possible basis for continued civil conversation. People can change, but I'm coming up from rock bottom and Rome wasn't built in a day. I have been nothing but cordial, and have carefully selected my words. It's the content of the phrases I use, not the phrases themselves that are at fault, and the content will not change no matter how I sugarcoat it. My job here is to be the strong arm, not to be liked. If people want to like me because of who I am when I'm not doing my job, that's fine with me, but I cannot point out people's flaws without being at least a little "mean". Finally, anybody who gets angry enough at my criticism to quit outright probably isn't worth the effort to play with. A good RPer can adapt to any situation in or out of character. This is the internet, people get angry. Obviously because Ava is countering my points with her own points (swearing nonwithstanding), She is of the type who can not only adjust to it, but give as good as she gets instead of simply giving up. I respect her quite a bit for that.

I love you stay with us forever.

How about, instead of focusing more on Carv's ([s]yes im fricking lazy screw you all[/s]) magic potential, you could perhaps focus on allowing her to mix some elements of her parkour abilities and her magic abilities. Or perhaps make her parkour abilities themselves strange! For example, you could let her sort of slither through walls that people would normally be unable to parkour through with her own summoned rats. Personally, mix-and-matching existing powers can actually bring out really weird stuff... and sometimes, really rare gems." [/quote] Well after finding suitable name changers, I got some ideas for involving around idea of "The Breath from nothingness". The whole creepy chill ya get, like something is breathing down your neck... but when you look behind you there's nothin there... Or something along those lines. Her powers are to be a juxtaposition to the way she wants to act. But I like your idea a lot too... hmmm....
