We've plainly created a cupcake to defy time and space...

A Day In The Life Of (______)

I'll throw a maybe. Haven't felt any of my chars tonight, but I could probably pick a few out tomorrow.

Edit: As you can see, nope. Simply no inspiration to put things down beyond a sense of obligation at the moment. >.>

Thanks, Photobucket

Do you have a character that you particularly like? Describe/Post them

There's been many. I'll give special mention to one from my sci-fi hack and slash canon, now dead and a part of the lore's history.

Howard Oleman, a member of the Wernke Republic's Colonial Defense Fleet. His skills were almost exclusively in diplomacy, and as such, he was an official dignitary for inter-faction affairs. The Wernke Republic is the undisputed largest human empire in the lore, so massive that there's a total of five unique "fronts" in space. Oleman was present on three of them, nearly unheard of for virtually any human being, and impressive for someone in diplomacy. His life was pretty much one adventure after another, and he was resourceful enough to pull through almost all of them unscratched. He knew several big names, also deceased, and was good friends with the strongest commander in the Republic (they died months apart from each other). He was energetic, even upon reaching 300 years of age (when people typically die) and believed in doing as many healthy things as possible. The aforementioned general spent more money than real world billionaires ever gain to extend his biological lifespan, and yet Oleman did none of that and was 50 years older.

The thing that makes Oleman stand out for me is his naturally enigmatic personality and the fact I've used him in a couple dozen solid roleplays that happened well before I joined this site. In fact, he was probably one of the most fleshed out characters I ever had. Alas, I age all of my characters, and so while death is rare in the sci-fi canon due to the fact people in even moderately high positions in life live to be 250-300, Oleman reached 310, and he ultimately had to die. He is not, alas, succeeded by any family, and there's been nobody to quite fill his shoes.

Feature Request: Changing passwords

Here's to a more clean password change system. What exists 'works', but is pretty sloppy. It's not a critical feature, certainly, but a field that could be improved upon.

Mature / 18+ Tag - What do you think when you see it?

Reading a post asking for females only is like reading a post with an 18+ tag, it's just begging for someone who isn't in either category to come in. So there's that point. But it's a wee off center for this discussion. Perhaps the next thread...

Your first RP character

Honestly, I've had too many to remember properly... the earliest I can recall was the old servant of a dragon (my second :p). Calm, loyal, and... not much else. :p

Mature / 18+ Tag - What do you think when you see it?

The initial design caters to those with a more steamy idea of what they want, but I treat it as anything that requires a mature eye to see and do properly.

Discord and The Guild/RPing

Different main RP formats.

RPG is slower paced, has more easily organizable tabs to do things in, offers a decent interface for formatting, and optimal for long posts.

Discord, for 'snapshot' line by line roleplaying, is by far superior. Real-time, simple enough to use, even lets ya create actual accounts to represent characters in a server you can create and organized as you see fit.

They have different purposes, the way I look at it. Ultimately, RPG's format agrees with me far better. They have strengths and weaknesses; I don't believe one kills the other.

All OC's Welcome

How do we know if someone is OP or not? It would be great if everyone listed weaknesses of their character, something that makes them fall in one hit or few, whatever.

Mine is a ghost btw.

@Bishop

While enforcing a power cap is good, what you reference can be easily abused and is a crude way to enforce weaknesses. If it is at all obscure, the only real way to use it is metagame and know stuff OOC with your char IC you aren't supposed to know. It could be made slightly rare and situational, requiring you need this/this/and this to exploit it properly while the rest of the char has abilities to more than compensate and help stop that weakness from spawning...

I'd help with plot, though it's presumably being handled?
