Was feeling inspired, so have a PaintBoi. Not sure which of the two characters I like better. Any opinions (especially the GM's) would be appreciated!



I love the idea of a person who can paint images to life, but this isn't that. lol

I do love the creativity, but this is almost identical to the bubble color wheel power you ran by me in DMs earlier. So the same issue I told you then still applies to this gift. It'll get a few nerfs because I intentionally don't want a character that can just do sooo many different things. Even as a utility or supportive gift, balance is important.

From this powerset specifically, I'd probably only allow up to three. But essentially, in its current iteration, this is Forcefields, Teleporting, Containment Fields, Clairvoyance, Zero Friction thingy, and literally erasing things from existence. This is all a bit much for one character to have in a story intentionally designed for the scope of a character's capabilities to be more limited or niche.

So yeah, all that to say, this character would need some nerfs before it could get approved. But I do love that your inspired creatively! :)

I tried to nerf him a good bit from that iteration (slower and more involved use, shorter duration, reagents), but imagined this could end up being the case. At the end of the day, I know it's more a matter of too much versatility and variety. No worries. That's why I have Melle. Maybe I'll save his essential idea for something else down the line.

Not so much being versatile, but having more of a niche within your Gift's "lane", if that makes sense. So, for example, a character who can draw objects/images to life is versatile cause they can draw up a sword to attack, a shield to defend, a bird to send a letter, and a flare to alert their teammates to their location. They can do these things while still maintaining balance and having a niche within their gift. This current iteration of your gift combines multiple gifts into one, where generally, these gifts would be spread across multiple Mystics.

The exception for Variety is Seraph's Kissed Mystics and even they have limited variety, while also being discriminated against in society if people found out their status.

I hope I was able to clear that up though. Thank you for being so understanding. Melle works totally fine from what I read. :)

Cheers!

Here's the first batch. It will take some time to do every one, but I'll split this up in batches. Keep in mind that the prompts are for fashion, so there won't be any action-hero poses I'm afraid. I've used different brands in the prompts such as Prada, Gucci, and Balenciaga to get variations. Anyway, if you actually want to use any of these, let me know which one specifically so I can single it out and upscale it.

@Crimson Flame


I love all of them, but I like 1 and 7 the most. The face is much closer to how I imagine.

Also, is there any way I can justify Tae having elf ears in universe?

Hello, can anyone give me their input about these arts? I'm having a hard time determining whether these fit the high aesthetic anime or the character's digital art. I've got my concept down, just trying to see what image would work.



Thank you.

Honestly, they seem to fall under the header of 'high quality anime-style art' that the GM mentions. I think you should be good.

@Shovel
Yup, as @Force and Fury said, those images should be okay. They vary a lot in style, but the first one is the definition of 'high-quality digital art' if you want a reference.

@Ebil Bunny I don't think you can change prompts in a variation, so it's difficult to change an element (such as the color of a shirt) in a spread that has already been generated. I can generate the spread again and change the prompts, but then the pose and everything is going to be different. The original image is also a bit difficult when it comes to changing colors. Anyway, I made some variations of the ones you mentioned, and then I generated new ones based on the changes you requested.



@Ti There is some arm/hand AI action going on in the variations.


@Crimson Flame We can always just ignore the elf ears in-character, or maybe it was something they put on just for the photo :)

Say hello to the Head Mistress of Harold's Academy.





And of course, your favorite "hot for teacher" Mentor of Class 20, Tessa; for the new people unfamiliar with her. She also supports the professor who oversees the Theatre and Art classes.


Note About Homerooms:
With 1000 students attending The Academy, and 50 students per homeroom, there are 20 homerooms in total. There are 17 professors (which will be revealed as they're completed), and each has their own homeroom, in addition to the class or classes that they teach. That means Mentors fill in for the last 3 homerooms. Tessa, of course, a former student of the Academy who aspires to become a full-time permanent teacher, is the Mentor of Class 20, our class. Classes 19 and 18 are also run by their own mentors. There are only 3 mentors at the school currently, with Tessa being the most well-known and popular amongst the entire student body, not just by Class 20.

Student Council (A student may join the student council under the leadership and guidance of the Illuminaires.)


Other students can have invited in with permission from the Illuminaires. I am guessing in context, Illuminaires are head boy and girl, and they can assign prefects to help them.

So for example for Tae, if he doesn't get Illuminaire, Fasha would be most likely to invite them to join based on her 'crush', for example.

My character's theme is a barbarian wizard that spawns extra limbs.


Now we all know who to turn to when we need an extra hand!

I can probably fix #3 with a clean cut. If you are willing to upscale.

I don't think there's anything outright that actually prohibits such a thing, I mean it's an academy with a thousand students, there's bound to be a little overlap. Personally, I think it would be down to what the power is and who you may potentially be overlapping with. But that's just me. The person with the incomplete CS staring at a deadline four days from now. That I will totally get in under... I hope lmao.

I’ve made this mistake too, but invite ‘them’ to join. ;)

Although I guess the secrets out. Tae is AMAB.

Naturally when creating characters things can overlap, but the rule of thumb/golden rule is to avoid stepping on others toes. I know for example in the interest thread, a couple of ideas which I didn't voice which were similar to others who declared later, so I ended up switching. (And those individuals didn't even submit a character sheet! Bah humbug. I am happy with Ana anyway.)

So if someone posted a concept already, especially if there has been suitable time frame, it is responsibility of the newer player to change to a different idea. Now, if it is similar but different, it can come down to more case by case basis.

If you really want to do an idea, though another has one similar, the best thing is to do is talk to that person about it. They might be fine with having a similar person, or they could rightly say "No thanks". As you submitted your Storm character, would you be okay with someone else being the same as her? If yes, then there is no issue, could even be the "Thunder Twins" or so, on the other hand, you could say "Well, I wanted this to be their stick, can't you just pick another?"

There is a good number of different powers and gift ideas, so don't feel the need to be tied to purely one concept!

Sorry Corrine, next time I need a hand for a job, you are my girl.

Might make Raffaella's experience of emotions directed at her involuntary, for fun drama. But I'll keep my twitchy finger off the edit button today.

I'll just be here vibrating in anticipation.
