[@Hatman1801] [quote]Okay, so this just can't. Teleporting is already an established magic, that almost nobody can perform. Archmagi don't even practice it due to risk vs reward.[/quote] Didn't see Teleporting under Unique Magics, or other similar titles. No information was given about it in the OP, so I figured it'd be fine. Also, it being a rare and difficult type of magic makes complete sense for my character. He's supposed to be a savant, someone with an immense natural talent in a particular area. [quote]Experimenting with the fabric of reality is also not something one just does. It would take preparation, be noticed, and probably have you thrown into prison, stripped of your powers, or just executed.[/quote] I realize this, but it's stunningly hard to catch a teleporter doing something almost nobody is able to detect properly. [quote]Ignoring that, I'm not too fond of the anti-world bit[/quote] It's actually mentioned in the OP as the world Demons are from. The 'anti-thesis to reality'. So that's just established canon, unless that got retconned or something. [quote]considering the already established theory of Void would also render your statement of... ...null. Void isn't "from another dimension", it's the outright lack of existence[/quote] You know, you should really read the OP of the rp you're co-gming. Again, I don't know if this was retconned, but Void is clearly described as being from another dimension in the section for Demonology. [quote] I can't accept ANYTHING involving Void early on in the RP, and it's 99% likely that there will be no characters using it to any degree. [/quote] Fair enough if that's a rule, but my character doesn't utilize the Void in any meaningful way. He isn't capable of accessing, controlling, altering, or blocking the Void. In fact, his Void-Scarred thingy would probably make him more vulnerable to it. [quote]So let's just say I go ahead and accept that you happened to portal around and dimension hop into a bunch of places where you just happened to survive, with no terrifying repercussions besides your mind being on the fritz, and that you leaving just closed up your whoopsie-daisy cataclysm portal.[/quote] Later on you go on a rant about how horrifically overpowered teleportation is, and yet here you're doubting he could survive in other dimensions, without any descriptor of the lethality or form of said dimensions? And I'd say that being driven insane is a fairly serious repercussion. I was under the impressing that the Void basically ate magic. As such, it 'ate' the portal the moment it stopped being supplied with energy. It seems fairly logically consistent to me. Furthermore, the Void is only capable of causing wide-scale destruction if there's a consistent stream of the stuff. Once more, as specifically mentioned in the OP. [quote] No reasonable aspect of authority would ignore this. You would be the poster boy of "Why you shouldn't be a dumbass," and your return would send off red flags from every side of Arcadia.[/quote] As mentioned in my backstory, my character was presumed dead. Every authority figure is convinced he died in the accident. He only reappeared thirty years later, looking ten years older. [quote]Why would I allow anyone to have extremely casual teleporting? I don't think you realize just how broken (easy) teleporting is. You get attacked, you teleport away from just about ANYTHING, appear behind them, and stab them in the back. Or grab them and teleport their arm, leg, heart, head, whatever you want, right off their body! Or just throw them into another dimension, because it seems to be a recurring theme for you.[/quote] Of course it's powerful, it's pretty much his only ability. And I made him physically weak for the sole purpose of ensuring that he can't just teleport and stab. He has no skills with weaponry, and is physically weakened at all times. I furthermore specifically mention later on that he can't teleport bits of living beings, he has to teleport them in one piece. This means he wouldn't be able to tp-dissect people, which is a rather OP ability indeed. He can only transport other people through portals. Which is something you clearly haven't realized. Although, to be fair, I wasn't very clear on the matter, and I myself had to double-check my CS to make sure I'd even written it down. [quote]So, this is basically an over complicated hammerspace. Just have your deus ex machinas on hand whenever the situation calls. Hide in your "bubble between dimensions" (which would be considered Void, and would kill you,) and just avoid any bad situation. Oh, and it's also a handy storage for those various sharp objects that you could stab people with when you teleport right next to them past any defenses they have.[/quote] Yeah, it's hammerspace. Except he can only use real existing objects that he would logically have put in there. No pulling out deus ex machinas, unless said deus ex machina is a relatively common object or tool. Also, didn't you specifically mention that the Void isn't from another dimension in this very comment? Make up your mind. [quote]AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! So let me get this straight; not only can you teleport, but you can fuck over anyone trying to use your already-overpowered ability, and any other nasty tricks someone might use to even have a glimmer of hope of circumventing it, and hit the magic "Nope" button. You can also see the "fabric of reality." What does that even mean? And I've already done enough griping about anything involving Void for now. [/quote] Considering this is supposedly a rare ability, would this really be an issue? The ability to nullify an ability nobody really uses isn't all that overpowered by my reckoning. And being able to 'see' the fabric of reality simple means he's able to sense the intact-ness of reality around him, sensing things such as portals and damage dealt to the fabric of reality. [quote]Okay so the Void isn't a parasite; it's the spreading absence of existence. A magical and physical black hole. You don't stuff it with Ki and resolve the issue. In fact, this should just kill you outright with your circumstance, because there isn't any explanation as to WHY this isn't killing you. No unheard of magical safeguard, no warping of reality. None of which I would allow in the early stages of this RP, because there isn't any established countermeasure to Void. In a strage twist of fate, if there was any semblance of reasoning as to why this isn't killing you, I would actually deliberate and negotiate as to making this viable.[/quote] I'm actually basing this off of the concept of a hypothetical quantum anti-conductor. A substance that would absorb energy constantly without increasing in energy, effectively destroying said energy. This seems to be how Void works, although Void seems to function on Magic, and to be attracted to said magic. Ki is also part of the body, and is clearly produced by the body. Removing ki kills you, but if you were to lose a bunch of ki you'd recover over time. So my idea was that the void was 'eating' the Ki at more less the exact same rate as it's being produced, meaning it's just not enough to kill him. But if I'm wrong on how Void functions, then that's fine. [quote]Why should I even. You can already teleport. So now, instead of even needing to stab someone or teleport pieces of them off, you can just put a hand on them, and hell, teleport them to your "bubble between dimensions" and let them suffocate to death. Inanimate objects also mean nothing because of this, because you can just teleport past any sort of reasonable defenses.[/quote] What? Did you miss the part where this can't be used on living beings? [quote]I ain't even mad anymore. This is just stupid for the sake of being stupid it seems. Is this entire character sheet an April Fool's Joke?[/quote] No, I just like adding silly pointless stuff to my characters. I saw 'body mods' and figured having a robot eye would be cool. [quote]So you're telling me the pseudo-Schizophrenic, sick, and magically-insane man is good at talking with people?[/quote] Yes. Have you ever met insane people? They can be surprisingly charming when they're lucid.
