[OOC] Climbing the Tower-TOG RP

[Jasper19]

@ColourlessKingid say the advantage of picking small to medium shinsoo strength would be you become better at fighting with a weapon and certain techniques like body strengthening , I chose high cause Aleck has the blood of Zahard but he won't really use shinsoo unless it's concerning his lighthouse or hwayeomsa technique

[King Cosmos]

High Shinsoo aptitude is something that I'd expect to be associated with Wave Controllers and maybe Light Bearers more than anything, in fact high aptitude would probably be the reason for picking them for those positions, but it's something that every position uses to an extent. Shinsoo is used for reinforcement as well as forming rooms/bangs after all.

Keep in mind that a lot of people, even in the Wave Controller classes, were only learning to use Shinsoo for the first time; most were unable to even form one room/bang. It was only people like Laure who could do it already. Also keep in mind that Wave Controller was the smallest of the classes in terms of how many people were a part of it. Outside of people from the Ten Great Families I wouldn't expect anyone to be that proficient with Shinsoo yet, regardless of aptitude; not even Princesses or Irregulars, since the latter won't have any experience with Shinsoo at all.

Oh so does that means higher aptitude means lesser control but more power? Huh i'm lucky I chose Po Bidau then all about control does guys.

@King Cosmos

My character checks out. Especially since Po Bidau is the Support and Control type rather than Eurasia's more blow you up with larger amounts. In any case both are Wave Controller families.

[Jasper19]

@ColourlessKing yeah and like cosmos said even with high aptitude most people won't know how to control it , aleck only knows how to use his hwayeomsa technique in short amounts as he messed with it before entering the tower , but the finer arts of lightbearing and other hwayeomsa techniques he has no clue how to use

@Jasper19

I will refrain from wrecking non-Irregulars with Fast Skip then. Considering they can't use method one on how to escape in that case

[Jasper19]

@ColourlessKing I mean I would use that to your advantage as the tower is very unfair

[DELETED08737]

@Jasper19

I meant the players, everyone else can experience as their bodies are incapable of movement while they see a baang of Shinsoo is placed directly onto their forehead.

Also I did say refrain, not never use it. If it's something to take seriously hey fair game XD

[Jasper19]

Since a lot of the hwayeomsa techniques aren't really said I'll probably have to brainstorm and come up with my own

[King Cosmos]

I'd say aptitude is more about ability to learn rather than anything else. I guess you could call it talent. You could have someone with low aptitude who already knows how to make a bang and someone with high aptitude who has never even heard of Shinsoo; the one with high aptitude would quickly overtake the person with low aptitude even with the initial difference.

The biggest limitation for Shinsoo users early on seems to be the number of bangs they can maintain and control at once. When they had to take the test to evade the Ranker, Quant, he was only allowed to use one bang at a time and this was considered to be a big limitation; one bang means he can only do one thing at a time, reinforce his body or make a projectile, attack or defend, not both at once. You can see the effects of this during the final exam, Bam had issues because he could freeze his opponent but not attack at the same time; he had to release his opponent to attack and they were able to avoid it.

It's weird to think about how weak everyone was at the start, given where the story is currently.

[Jasper19]

I would like to connect his hwayeomsa techniques with his lightbearing and I'm trying to think of what some cool things would be , so far I have where he combines his flow control technique but then the shinsoo in the field of the lighthouses erupts into flames

[Jasper19]

@King Cosmos it is weird to think as they're all so powerful now , but yeah that's exactly what I ment for shinsoo aptitude to be its just how fast you learn a technique

@Jasper19

Problem is then everyone would just choose high though. Unless that was specifically locked to Wave Controllers and Light Bearers due to the amount theyd have to do to get such a position.

[Jasper19]

@ColourlessKing it should be based on your position , lightbearers and wave controllers have a high shinsoo aptitude which is the reason they are chosen , fisherman , scouts and spear bearers have medium to low

@Jasper19

Welp some people are gonna have to do some changes then.

By the way anyone else notice that Baam is basically a Fisherman? And not really a Wave Controller like Laure or Yu Han Sung cuz of how fast he learns stuff?

[Jasper19]

@ColourlessKing yeah they will,

Bam is a god

[Jasper19]

@ColourlessKing also though certain people like sylvan I don't mind having high shinsoo aptitude because his character is an irregular

[DELETED08737]

@Jasper19

Thats a given Irregulars are bullshit. Also why is Aleck 19? Shouldn't he be a few hundred atleast?

[Jasper19]

@ColourlessKing ngl if I was a regular and then I figured out someone like bam was in my testing group I'd just try and befriend them so I can focus on passing my test lol

[King Cosmos]

@ColourlessKing

Most of the characters here are young, I think it's only you and me who are old timers.

[Jasper19]

@ColourlessKing aleck looks nineteen he's actually about 145 years old
