[@Valor] - I responded to your PM about the character; long story short, I believe Ashley will work once we've tinkered with a few things. [@MatthiasAngel] - I think this will work - I want to have at least one place in the world that has a more feudal/medieval feel, and your character could be from that country or location on one of the five continents of Faiza. Or if you feel like it'd be better for her to be from a more metropolitan/capitalist kind of society, we can work on that too. Consider that her sword could be upgraded, whether by magic or technology, as the story progresses! Maybe she could be from a duchy or barony? [[@duskshine749] - I like that you're balancing out his powers with a direct disadvantage, since that means he might fry his friends if he gets too out of control, or hurt people he's trying to protect. Or just setting the lodge on fire. (Note to self; maybe make sure the lodge is fireproof to begin with. They'd think of this in advance, right?) [@Lucidnonsense] - The only one I'd throw right out is the last one, mostly because it seems fitting more for an NPC than for a PC. It brings to mind visions of Mr. Mxyzptlk who makes a good "problem of the day" but could get tiring after a while very quickly for the rest of the group. The other options are all possibilities I'm willing to work with. [@Weird Tales] - A psychic doggy! Definitely a fun idea - we can tinker on it a little. My kneejerk reaction is to maybe add some atavistic behavior to his personality, like struggling to control instinctual desires like chasing cars or following interesting scents, to balance out all the psychic powers he has, or just throttle back on them a bit. A good start though. To all: obviously there is a good amount of interest in this RP at this time, so for now, I'll work on the IC/OOC and then we can hammer out characters in more detail once we see how the IC/OOC look like and whether people are still interested at that point. I'm still willing to chat about characters in this thread until the RP thread is up, but bear in mind I may make changes that may alter character suitability by the time I'm done with the IC/OOC, so you may have to update the character sheet appropriately. This is my first interest check for an RP; and soon my first RP itself will be up. Thank you for your patience and willingness to work with me on this, as well as for your interest. I can't promise exactly when the thread will be up, but it's going to be one of my higher priorities this week.
