[quote=@Yatagarasu] This is supposed to show that dick measuring a new character with unknown and absurd powers against one that has defined but absurd powers is a bad idea. Besides, planning things out is boring. :P [/quote] >In my experience it helps writing go smoother, not to mention quicker and with less potential for conflict or misinterpretation. Something that a lot more roleplays need frankly, since you're basically co-authoring a single tale, just from different and exclusionary perspectives. In any case, I was hoping to actually avoid a dick measuring contest since I had enough of those back in... well literally every OC roleplay community I've ever set foot in. I say this having done the exact same thing mind, repeatedly, mainly because it's just how those places were. It's tiring to constantly boil things down to two five year old's arguing in a sandbox over whose superman is more unbeatable than the other's. >I was more hoping to set up an actual, you know, antagonistic threat. Maybe not one that terrifies the characters in question, because given the shit they've seen that'd be rather unrealistic, but at least one that's more than a two-bit bad guy who can just be obliterated by someone from the main cast sneezing in the wrong direction. Because if I wanted that I'd go read some cultivation novels. >And yes, I do have an actual way this could go that doesn't result in character death or neutering for either party involved.
