@Lord WraithI maintain my innocence. Until the grave.

<Snipped quote by Archmage MC>
I think he just doesn't like the idea of her being a cartoon like Roger Rabbit in Who Framed Roger Rabbit. If that's "not gritty enough" then I'd say yes, that's what he's saying.


Well apparently he doesn't wanna say it for some reason. I dunno why he isn't being honest, especially since I'm being very upfront with him. Hes just like "No. Its silly, I don't like comedy. I don't like anything thats not a human." I bet he wouldn't take any of the weirder xmen either, or The Leader, or MORBO, or any of those characters from marvel either.

<Snipped quote by Archmage MC>

The example of Killer Croc is most comparable to character like the Martian Manhunter, Etrigan, Hawkgirl etc. They are physically not human, but their traits are still rooted in the 'reality' of that universe. The whole point of your character was that she opposed reality and was thus 'unrealistic'. I don't understand why you're making this an issue.


Now THATS a good reason. Too bad you had to say it for him.
@Archmage MC Being gritty doesn't have anything to do with it. The character doesn't fit my vision for the RP and I'm not a fan of it. Like I have already said, she's out of place due to both her appearance and ability. If she was a hulking beast like Killer Croc I would give her more of a chance but Light literally is a living cartoon. The concept is just silly and out of place to me.


I still hear "Shes not Gritty enough", thats literally what your saying, especially with your example of what you want.
Any ideas? Cause I do like the idea of a metahuman power for Jack.

Help me group you are my only hope!


If you can't think of anything just give him super strength. its a pretty staple power. That or Flight.
@Archmage MC
This is Lord Wraith's roleplay. Whilst it's rooted in the DC universe, there's no such thing as this school and the concept is his own. I think he has the creative liberty to decide what fits the bill, don't you?


I'm just trying to get a solid hard reason from him other than "eeh, shes not gritty enough"
@Archmage MC That really doesn't help your case, I still don't see the character as fitting in, sorry man. You're free to apply with another character but Light just doesn't work for me.

And while I did say it was fine to be inspired by Marvel or DC, I still have the final say on what I allow into the RP.


I still don't see the problem tbh, unless your not doing a superhero RP, but instead a school RP with superhero on the side, and thus want only humans instead of unique stuff. If thats the case, might wanna put that in the OP.
@Lord Wraith Think of Light like a more Cartoony Deadpool, although less grating and only genre savvy instead of a 4th wall breaker. You did say anything in Marvel or DC was fine, and Marvel has lots of weird looking characters like her. DC not so much I don't think, but they're also racist so... Course DC also has killer croc...
Should I give examples of Cartoons that Light is getting her powers from or no?
| NAME: |
Light


| ALIAS: |
Not Sure Yet


| APPEARANCE: |
Light is a 1.8 meter tall humanoid looking figure with pure white skin, blue short hair, And lacks detail. Her head is a large sphere with black and orange eyes, no visible nose, and fin looking ears with a very skinny neck. Her body is curvish with skinny forearms and large hands that end in 4 sharp fingers. She wears a blue tanktop with a white dress, the dress itself having an M cut to show her legs that, instead of feet, end at a sharp point.


| ABILITIES/SKILLS/EQUIPMENT: |
Cartoon Regeneration
Light is able to regenerate from nearly any injury, including supernatural ones such as having her soul ripped out, ext.. Light recovers by "popping" back to normal, although depending on the injury it can be instant or take quite a bit of time. She still feels the pain of the attack.

Cartoon Physics
The world affects Light a bit differently than everyone else. Light's movements can only be seen as "stretchy" which are made apparent when she experiences extreme acceleration. Light can walk on air as if it were ground when walking off of a high place, as long as she is not aware of the lack of ground, when she figures it out, she falls. This also makes her react differently to physical trauma, and removes her ability to bleed, among many other things.

Pocket Space
Light can pull nearly any small object at random from a spot inside her dress. These objects are often of no combat use and are more contextual or hint based in nature than anything, and often in very obscure ways. She mostly just uses this trick for comedy.

Super Strength
Light has great strength, and to record has been able to lift up a suburban house with ease.

Reality Shift
Light causes anything she is touching to be unable to gain energy from outside sources. If she touches something long enough, IE, a few days, it'll turn 'cartoony' but only have the negative effects of being a cartoon. She must still be touching this object for it to stay cartoony, otherwise after a few hours it'll turn back to normal.


| LIMITATIONS AND WEAKNESSES: |
-Light can't deal with being tied up, even though she has super strength. This extends to Nets as well. This causes her to struggle until she wiggles her way out, figures a way to cut the binding, or someone rescues her.
-Due to Reality Shift, Light sharply reduces the effectiveness of any weapon she would want to use.
-Due to Cartoon Physics, Light takes more damage than normal, due to the flashy way physical trauma affects her.
-Light is very carefree and often wont commit fully to a fight, or wont fight at all and rather chat with the bad guy. This means she'd basically try to make buddies with Lex or Mistah J, until they tried to kill her or her friends at least.


| SAMPLE POST: |
"An essay about myself? Uh... My name is Light. People say I remind them of a walking cartoon, which I can see. Though it isn't fun getting blown up, set on fire, or run over by a steamroller, people seem to laugh when I turn to ash or into a pancake of myself only to pop back to normal. Did I mention those things kinda hurt?" "...What? You want more?" "Personality? Are you trying to ask me out?" "No? Well ok then."

"I'm pretty smart, observant, but also very laid back, after all, why fight when you can make friends? There are some people out there who just had a bad time and need a friend to get back up, plus sometimes they can be a blast! Of course that being said I'm not an idiot, I do understand sometimes there are just some people who wanna hurt you, your friends, your neighbor, and the wild stray dog. And if I'm forced to fight and not in a playful manner like a game of Cops and Robbers but with jail time involved, well... they're in for a bad time. HeHe"


| NOTES: |
this exploded with interest, eh?
I'm interested. Sounds like a character development RP mostly which I love.
