@Parallel Hearts I honestly forgot he already finished his master, and servant if he wants to swap go ahead, and no. I cut out a whole section with Leon which leads us to the meeting room with the Director. Leon's part is skippable but the room part still needs to be added in. I'm waiting for everyone to be set up before I finalize the IC.

@ManyThings@Parallel Hearts@ItMeGritty Alright I decided that I'll just set up the IC you can start the IC responses if you desire.

@King Cosmos@Reflection@floodtalon All three of you still have no listed masters in the character section, or haven't made them please do so soon.

@floodtalon I've been very lenient when it comes to characters so far however one paragraph for a character is too small. It needs more details on his past. Feats, his story up onto this point, and hardships are examples if it helps.

Their biography is around the same length as my master's.

If the backstory fit you must acquit.

I'm also the GM and I can reassert myself and make you write more too. This isn't about Talon in specific I've been much easier than I usually am on people but at this point I feel like people are putting less in than usual. Reflection, Manythings, and Cosmo can all tell you I've made players do much more. The personality I'm putting section in the back seat but I haven't always done that and bios allow me to assess how to work a character, and judge a person's writing level. Leon was written in a single day and has only seen minor edited for changes in plots he's been in.

Not that I'm trying to discuss the way you do things or anything like this but, writing in a concise way—using only as many words as needed—requires far more skill than you are giving us credit for.

Even on this same franchise, which isn't known for being brief (or simple), almost always everything you need to know about a character that's not related to their abilities—backstory, personality, etc.—can be summed in a single paragraph as we see across the many entries of it.

It's only natural that some people would try to write in a way that feels like the source material we are all sharing, is it not?

@vancexentan

You say its not about me in specific but you've also put the most attention on me throughout my entire application process despite the fact that I've made an absolute C tier Servant. You complained about the fact that I wrote out a full bio for Arsene when you just wanted me to post a Wikipedia link to his page and now you're complaining that I'm not writing enough and then alluding to this idea that I have to write a full 6 paragraphs about a character just to be worthy of your RP?

I'm not entirely sure what you're problem is with me specifically, but my character's backstory is fine. What you're asking me to do is write three paragraphs of fluff about a character who doesn't have an important past or legendary deeds whispered about through the Clocktower. They're just an above average Enforcer who's doing their job. This is the defining moment for said character. This is the legendary deed that will be whispered about throughout the Clocktower. Forgive me if I don't have a lot to say about this character's backstory, they don't really have one. They're a guy who was born in a rich family, got bored of sitting around all day and decided to test their work in the field. That's the backstory. Honestly, this is more backstory then most actual Maguses in the Fate universe even get, they're all mostly the same. They're just a bunch of researchers who live ordinary lives, not every Magus has some extra tragic backstory or life event defining who they are.

Listen man, I'm not trying to be obtuse or frustrated, but it's getting hard to not be frustrated when at every turn of the application process you've made it abundantly clear that you don't like any of my ideas. Maybe you want me to leave and that's why you're being so passive aggressive, I genuinely have no idea, I'm not a mind reader. But I'm not writing 3 paragraphs of fluff about what my Magus eats for breakfast.

I'm not intending to be passive aggressive if that's what you think it is. If Gritty, Reflection, or anyone else in this roleplay was in your spot I would've given them the same response. The servants link is what I wanted from everyone, and my gm'ing has been spotty. Reflection seems to be vouching for your again, and so is parallel, and gritty. So I'll concede that I may be in the wrong here and pass the character on merit that I feel I may being unfair to you. I will apologize for the way I've apparently been treating you specifically. I sincerely do. I do not mean to now, or ever, single out a person to slight them. It is up to if you even care to accept my apology and stay, or if you wish to leave because of my attitude towards you unintentional though it may be.

This is, and has always meant to be a high casual roleplay. I don't play advanced because I don't always consistently pop two paragraphs out per post. All I want is effort to be put into characters that is all.

Alright I don't see any issues with the character. The mage association may find it an issue that he had an history of addiction but he's got enough talent for them to overlook it.

Alright good to know. Hopefully we can get past the first fight this time. I'm splitting Anderson off from the group (for the first fight). I can also throw Monica into Anderson's group as well.

Smaller groups are good, I think. You almost never see an entire faction all running right alongside each other.

True enough but after last time I feel like Anderson, and his berserker to some extent but Nightengale was the resident healer, made the fight feel too clustered.
