Alright. But it still stands that we've been going in order of characters as they've been posted (and accepted).

@t2wave

I'm sorry, I honestly wasn't expecting to get rejected...twice...

The Hidden People

I think our "Yes, and"s are getting a little mixed up with ArkmageddonCat currently withdrawing his character.

@Exie Your "Yes, and" should build off of Arachne since it is the one before yours and @Necrophage's should build off of Kaori's. There is no reason they cannot both know Arachne though. Perhaps they were both sent on the same job in the past.

Getting two different characters rejected*

The Hidden People

So I got bored trying to think of a character concept that might get accepted, and I ran across this song and thought it might fit with Nemsemet...right? Maybe?

Anyways...I've PMed my third and final character concept to the GMs...

...Not that anyone really needs or wants to know.

The Hidden People

Incidentally, to get character sheets figured out, I'm pushing this whole 'first post' thing a day back, but that's because I had a very busy day today and a huge interview.

@HeySeuss

Is it too late to wish you good luck getting the job?

Edit: Void/Rift powers have been removed from my current character sheet. I wanted them, but then I remembered that all the times I ever played that character right was when I only had electricity. It was a different concept of the same character that used void, but I never got to use that version cause the RP I applied him for had died.

That does open up a possibility to replace my current character with that alternate concept...

Hello

Thanks, and...yeah...I don't really have anything else to say...

Oh! I know!

"Hello"

@HeySeuss

...Ohhh...well...shiet...

Uhm...if my current character concept doesn't work because it's not relatable to a true mythology or superstition, I have two possible characters left...

One is an easily enraged and very destructive magma-type elemental, but he's more likely to side with chaos.

And the other is...more or less the byproduct of secret human experimentation with magic, with a whole conspiracy-cover-up-thingy, and shit happens, has to deal with animalistic rage, and...y'know is supposed to control it, more shit happens, kills a bunch of people, and that's as far as I really got with him...may have missed some killing...but...I mean, that's all related to a conspiracy rather than a myth or superstition.

Edit: I also have created/attempted a psychotic shapeshifter, but out of my two tries I only got it right once. Coincidentally, this shape shifter was teamed up with that hot-headed elemental the one time I played the character right.

@Trinais, I've taken your suggestions into account and have remodeled my character. Please alert me should anything else remain an issue. It's been over a year since I've made an RP character so I'm a little rusty...that, and I never considered myself all that great or fond of writing out character personalities and/or histories...

I guess that's dependant on the RP, though...

If this revision doesn't work I have...well...one other suitable character. Suitable, at least, for opposing Nemsemet.

I personally think this character can be salvaged. If I may offer my advice?

Cut out the wormhole power or severely limit it, like, more than it is.

I like the idea of him being a soul in a constructed body. Like a Frankenstein's monster, almost! With that in mind, maybe his soul and his mind don't jive as well. He's not dumb, but almost sociopathic in that he doesn't really care how other people view his actions. So when Arachne says "Yo, you shouldn't have murdered all five of the Magician's guards," he might shrug and say "They were in the way and you said no witnesses. Now you'll have five fewer enemies. And I cleaned up the bodies."

But when someone or something hits home, he still displays emotions about it.

Finally, the Prophets add a great layer of mystery of to the character. Keep them in your back pocket for a character twist somewhere down the line!

Take it all or leave it as you like.

@Trinais

You sir(or ma'am), are awesome. I'm in a bit of a slump cause I created this character but my creativity is actively going elsewhere. My only issue is that I've tried and failed at emotionless characters before, but I'm sure I can make do.

Would severely limiting the wormhole ability be satisfied by making it only teleport to locations within sight? Or through objects? And reducing range of course...

...may need some more duct tape though...

The Hidden People

@ArkmageddonCat Sorry, but that character is downchecked; too much overlap with another character that becomes insubstantial and gathers information.

What I really need for character concepts is stuff that's a little darker and histories that aren't as reputable. I feel like we have enough 'bonafide, upright good guy' types running around, even a Seelie faerie, but I'm sort of looking for darker and less reputable characters at this point.

@HeySeuss

I can do that. I have some more villainous characters, but do they still need to fit in with this team? I'm just asking that so I know whether to edit or start over.
