[OOC] Mid/High Casual - Divinus: The Deity Roleplay Mk.II

[Malchivo]

@Kho I see how it is, I have only made one post in a collab so far so Thacel doesn't get might this turn >.> This is discrimination to the highest degree. You will be hearing from my lawyers!
_{Malchivo Productions does not condone the actions of nor associate with Malchivo. He will not have access to our team of lawyers and we will not aid him in any other manners in regards to this legal altercation.}

@Malchivo

I demand a production all about why birds are lame animals!

[Malchivo]

Head of Malchivo Productions PR department

We regret to inform you that we will not be making any productions that slander, defame, or otherwise create a negative perception of any animals including those of the avian variety. Thank you for your time and we apologize for being unable to meet your request. @Lauder

[BBeast]

Note: One charactere has no Might this Turn. That is because the stat sheet was not updated. Lack of update will result in a default to zero from now on - I took the time to update all those that were not updated bar one, I'll most likely not be doing that again in future.

Also Note: Fate's Might pot received some MP from two demigod NPCs. This was a purely arbitrary decision on my part - their Might was getting too high for my liking, and it can create issues given the fact that both characters are under one (unpredictable) player's control.

@Kho

I should probably voice my opinion on this. While probably an effective motivator for updating the stat sheet, I feel that negating all might is a disproportionately large response. In doing this you arbitrarily cripple player characters, reducing the capacity of the player to interact with the world.

Also, unless you discussed this with him before hand, it is probably quite unfair on Cyclone to do this to him without warning.

I just started the hain wiki page just to outline what I'll need to do. I decided to roughly base it around Wikipedia's entry on Humans. I won't be going into nearly as much detail of course, but...gods, I have a lot of work to do.

One thing I know I can't do is draw a picture of a male and female hain for the main page. I can't do it justice. Anyone want to do me a solid and give it a shot? Like, a front-on vitruvian man pose and a side-on view? Termite's pictures of Tauga are a good reference, keeping in mind to keep her unique gear and *cough* tentacles off the final product.

Just asking on the off-chance. It's not a burning need.

[Kho]

@Malchivo Apologies, Thacel wasn't in the stats. I suggest you access the file (it's under the FAQs) and add Thacel and his Might at the end of Turn 10. Once that's done, I'll update you for Turn 11.

@BBeast@Cyclone I didn't discuss it with Cyclone as the plan for this Turn is to give him his Might once he updates the sheet - which should hopefully be soon. I know exactly how much Might Zephyrion has as of the end of Turn 10 and could have easily updated the file, but I want players to take charge of this. It can get particularly tedious if I'm having to update each person's stats, it's much easier for each individual to do their own.
As for disproportionality, it may be slightly disproportionate but I disagree with you on the 'crippling player characters' part. One can do perfectly well in this RP without Might, and can create interesting characters and stories. Pure story can at points even replace Might and Khookies - as it has often done, for instance, in Yara's case.

@Jarl Coolgruuf As you've been gone for over two weeks without warning us beforehand, your acceptance into the RP is on hold until you come back and offer an explanation.

@Kho

Amartia is actually Level 5.

[Malchivo]

@Kho Oh...I had actually thought that it had been done with intent given that he came right at the end. No need to apologize for this, I will do as you said immediately.

Just to be sure, I will add him beneath Maeus correct? Don't want to throw the order off or anything.

Second Edit: And since you said "His might at the end of Turn 10" I will be leaving it at four right?

@Kho

I'm sure you remember all too well how terrible I was when I tried my hand at accounting on that sheet, but I made an attempt nonetheless. Since you apparently knew the numbers anyways you should probably double check what I put down.

My valiant defender rides in with shining armor! BBeast, you're a bro.

[Kho]

@Malchivo Don't worry, I did it for you. Just keep it updated please T-T
@Cyclone Looks good to me

[Kho]

@Double Capybara You didn't confirm whether you took Maeus or not - I feel you spoke with me about it before...

[Double Capybara]

A bird flew in my mom's house today and she described it as an "Odd Pigeon."

Here is what it actually looked like.

Special Edition Pigeon

Obviously, she went to grab it because pigeons are known to be a harmless creature.

Luckily it was a young hawk assault pigeon so it just made a cut on her finger. Still had to go to the hospital, because I imagine those claws are a bit dirty considering their use.

We talked it out later though, pretty cool guy for a dinosaur, tbh. Just a bit timid.

Selfie

Edit:

@Double Capybara You didn't confirm whether you took Maeus or not - I feel you spoke with me about it before...

@Kho

I literally already posted with Maeus, and yeah, I did direct message you about it too.

Sorry for taking a while to answer, as I said, I had to take my mom to the hospital because she confused a hawk with a pigeon.

@Kho

I suppose it's fair if the player gets their Might back when they update it themselves. I can understand that updating the sheet yourself is unnecessarily tedious.

[Kho]

@Double Capybara I've unfortunately not gotten round to reading and rereading the rest the IC from page 11 yet. I'm sure your Maeus post is very interesting and I very much look forward to reading it and all other posts just as soon as I've finished up with some commitments that have reared their head now that exams are done. And I've overburdened myself with other RPs to, which is never nice :|

[Slime]

As an apology for a post where the description and pacing were awful, I'll work on the required sheets today.

Here is the first, elaborating hain body language a bit more. This will be in the hain body language hider on Toun's character thread.

Affection and Hands

Physical intimacy between hain are similar to humans in many ways. Holding hands, hugs, holding arms around shoulders, etc. all signify a closeness, whether familial, deep friendship, or romance in varying degrees. Though the hands alter the execution.

Hain beaks are too impractical for kissing like humans do. Instead of this, hain mutually bring a hand each to the mouth of the other. This comes from the hain instinct to hand-feed their children. Holding the fingers shallowly in the mouth is most common, and biting harder or thrashing occurs with high passion.

The significance of hand-feeding extends to deliberately laying hands on the body of another hain. If done for no other reason, it is a slightly greater sign of affection than usual. Laying a hand on a personal area, such as the face, holds the significance of a kiss on the cheek.

As with any body language, context also plays a role. Laying hands on another as part of labour, fighting, emergencies, or other situations generally does not carry affection, though the regular room for misinterpretation is ever-present.

A simpler exception to human shows of affection is bringing their heads close together. Again, hain beaks make touching foreheads together uncomfortable. The equivalent in hain body language is to rest the sides of the head together with the beak over the shoulder of the partner. Just like with humans it tends to be reserved for deep affection. From this position, hain have the closest view of their partner's eyes.

This is about the limit I will probably provide as canon for anyone trying to write hain fanfics for some goodness-forsaken reason.

_{Christ, the hain wiki page is going to be heeeiiiiiiuuuuuuuge.}

@Muttonhawk

This could be useful for my next post.

Then I demand one all about Keriss beating the crap out of her little sister!

@Lauder

You better not be talking about me.

@Kho

Nah, it is a silly short post. No need to worry. Just used it as an example of how involved I already am with the character.

On a side note, I personally cannot imagine myself in another RP, considering how much time this one is already consuming.

[Scarifar]

I'm still in a writer's block, so I haven't really been doing much.

[Double Capybara]

@Scarifar One thing that helped me when I was having issues was re-reading posts from the IC or to catch up with some post I might have missed.

And you can always set up a minimum of word written in a day, even if the text produced is not fit for posting.
