The Legend of Zelda: Fragments of Hope

Unless someone currently holds the Mask of Truth, I think its a moot irrelevant point to bring up.

@Gowi

Who says there's only one?

To be fair, it's significantly difficult to keep secrets when the Sheikah are involved. The Mask of Truth comes from their clan, and don't forget a person can use one to literally read minds.

Er, yes, what Sigil said (it's early in the morning and I'm still groggy, sue me :P). Just try not to make a habit out of it, 'kay?

Also, I've got a bit of important inquiry for everyone. Who's keeping their Fragments a secret and who has revealed them to the Resistance? I need to know for my next posts to make any logical sense.

@The Kid Lantern You don't have to say it, you're implying it strongly enough. You just flat out ignore the multitude of times where I try to explain that he has no actual powers. Why should someone with no real powers outside of a space cop uniform and a blaster gun have more than one crippling weakness? You're basically asking someone to change Star-Lord to being weak to Kryptonite even though it's not necessary because he's just a dude in a spaceship and nothing more. But I've long since given up on this. You've made it absolutely clear that you have no intention of listening to logic, plus this suddenly becoming a generic "superhero team in generic Earth city" instead of the big, open-world universe the iCheck promised pretty much killed whatever interest I had. Good day, sir.

If somebody had submitted a CS with the note their character is based in Thailand it wouldn't have been accepted. For the obvious reason. If that was my only problem with the theoretical CS, and it was edited, then more than likely it would've been accepted. This guy from Star Force has a natural power set cause he's an alien, another set of abilities granted by the suit, and then only one weakness listed. I had no problems with the rest of the sheet dude, despite the BRIEF Bio being anything but brief.

~KL~

@The Kid Lantern

You're doing it again. You're just automatically assuming that he's some supersoldier god when I just got done explaining how and why that isn't the case. You keep using the words "power set" as if him having above average strength and toughness (coming more from his job and background than his species) means he's the Hulk when I've said multiple times that that's not the case. At all. Okay, you know want to know what this character is? Like, an actual honest-to-god-perfect example of what this character is? Well, he's this guy:



You know, that reptilian bounty hunter that was in like half a scene in Empire Strikes Back? A character who does not have any super strength, super durability, and literally just flies around the galaxy in a ship, his main weapons of choices being various types of blaster guns. That's what Zandar was supposed to be. Nothing more. I don't know why you're continuously assuming that he's more than that, but it's becoming very tiresome hearing the same crap over and over again. Like I said, I'm not going to bother continuing with this because it's long since passed the point of being worth the energy and effort to do so.

I apologize for my tone and anger in general. Some real life frustrations are bleeding into how I interact here and that's not fair to you guys. So again, I apologize profusely, and beg forgiveness for any of the vulgar or venomous things I've said.

@Double The majority of the RP will be set in New Athens. Nearly everyone in the cast has standard human weaknesses, and those who don't [Chok-Lad, Sea Snake, and Radiance] have pretty big weaknesses that can completely take them out of the game or gradually reduce their power over time. If you can't be bothered to make a single edit to the sheet even though I think my concerns are pretty valid, then I'm sorry you feel like your time was wasted. Vary rarely are CS's perfect the first draft. Making your guy have something like sensitive vision is really a deal breaker? Because if he's on Earth and can take anything anybody dishes out that doesn't involve ice or breaking his space suit and sending him back into space... then he needs SOMETHING.

@The Kid Lantern

Whoa, hold the phone. You're making the RP take place in a single location, despite advertising it as a UNIVERSE BUILDING endeavor? You fucking liar. No seriously, why the hell would you want aliens and other big universe concepts if YOU'RE NOT EVEN GONNA FUCKING USE THEM? And no, the single edit wasn't the deal breaker. The deal breaker was you constantly assuming that he's some unstoppable God simply because he doesn't have a million crippling weaknesses. Do you even know me? Because I thought you kind of did, have I ever been the kind of player to just blatantly power play like that, like have you EVER known me to do that? I'm beginning to think that you don't actually know what the term "overpowered" really means. Overpowered means having dozens of powers and secondary powers while only having one or two weaknesses (eg Superman). Zandar is not that powerful, like at all. He has some strength (not even super strength, he's just a bit stronger than your average humanoid would be) and scaly skin that makes him a bit tougher to hurt (not even that much tougher since it's really no different than Killer-fucking-Croc). That's all he actually has, those are his only natural abilities. So, with so little in the way of natural abilities why the fuck should I have to give him so many crippling natural weaknesses? The suit? The Lancer? The ship? That's all outside tech from Star Force. Those are all objects that can be stolen, hacked, damaged, and otherwise used by someone else if they got their hands on them. Isn't that in and of itself a pretty self-explanatory weakness? Hell, the uniform isn't even powerful at all, it's a glorified spacesuit, not the fucking Iron Man armor! But sure, let's just call your concerns valid, why not. It's not like you already have characters who are insanely stronger than Zandar is and who could kill him simply enough... OH WAIT!

@The Kid Lantern What is it with you people and mentioning all these Earth locations. Has it not occurred to any of you that he's a SPACE COP? Space. Cop. I doubt he'll come within a thousand lightyears of Earth for any reason that isn't galactic civil war or something. Earth isn't the only planet that has to matter in a superhero universe you know. So why exactly does my SPACE ALIEN COP who operates on ALIEN PLANETS THAT ARE NOT EARTH absolutely need to have a bunch of weaknesses to shit that only really matters if he visits Earth? The armor is not that strong, honestly it's not much better than Stormtrooper Armor, and news flash, it can be damaged by enemy weapons if hit enough times. And once it's damaged enough? That "basic" environmental protection goes bye bye, so feel free to fuck him over with a Cold Gun or by ejecting him out into space at that point.

Honestly, people are gonna give me this much shit over this, then it's not worth continuing. Sorry I wasted your time.

If it is a list of 30 abilities and power sub-sets then no, I don't want that. However you do need more than one weakness listed. That should go without saying. I don't want it both ways, and I never said he was over powered. Just that he needs to have established weaknesses. "Standard human weaknesses" covers a lot, but if he doesn't have them then it needs more clarification. That is all.

~KL~

@The Kid Lantern

A creature with tough, scaly skin isn't going to have "standard human weaknesses". And seriously, you think being vulnerable to extreme cold isn't enough? You do know that the vast majority of space (you know, the place he primarily operates in and travels through) is a COLD vacuum? I mean, for fuck's sake he'd have a hard time fighting against any given ice villain because they'd only need a single good blast of cold to potentially cripple him. How is that not "an established weakness"? If Martian Manhunter can get by only being weak to fire, then I see no reason why an alien with only a weakness to cold can't also work.

U N I V E R S A L ™ (Accepting New Players!)

@The Kid Lantern So you want a laundry list of what he can and can't do? Even though you said the exact opposite to Archmage MC? Either you want in-depth abilities or not, dude, you can't have it both ways. Make up your mind.
