Who's the president again?

Wait, HE'S EVIL?!

@FacePunch

*holds hands on FacePunch's eyes* Shhhh, you didn't see anything!

@Fallenreaper I'll PM it to you tonight after work. We'll need to trim it down as it contains potential spoilers for some of my future archs. And we'll need to separate what is common knowledge to magic users to what is common knowledge to the general public.

Kinda like knowing who the President is, but not knowing he's super evil for example. Like how most people View Lex Luthor before he becomes a public Villain.

@VATROU

Understandable and trim what you need. If I have questions, I'll shot them at you and you can clear them up. Sound reasonable to you?

So a sort of minature wiki page for CAH? I'd be down. Most of what I have to do concerning world building would include SuperIOR Incorporated, Lost Haven Police Department, The Daily Watchmen, and Ceri's self-owned magic shop in Little Sicily.

@FacePunch

That's still important and apart of the world itself.

It's no worse than me making a full another thread for Blood Act Lore... which I did. Compare that with the op on this, most of the world itself is still under construction since we're still adding and working with players over cultures, monsters, etc. I still manage to keep Player secrets, sensitive information out of the lore thread. Mainly it focuses on the world and important aspects that influence the Players, GMs, and details we felt were needed for the OP while for people who wanted something deeper could view the lore thread itself.

And yes, I double posted. :p

@Fallenreaper Sounds good, but I don't know what I could do to help.

@Athinar

You can ask questions, make suggestions, or even try to flesh a part you think has been forgotten. I did mention you didn't have to strictly work on your own part, but could help with others as long as the one who started it hasn't any issues with it. We're building a world and rp after all together, even if it's not just on the same piece of it.

Your character-fu is weak grasshopper.

@Skallagrim

It's not the PC I'm having issues with, it's how not to cripple myself. XD

<Snipped quote by Fallenreaper>

I wouldn't worry about making a character too weak, I'm not sure it's within any Arena-goers capacity.

@MelonHead

Strength and weakness is all about perspective really. I can think of numerous things to do with a single ability like electricity thanks to conversations with a friend of mine. Namely using static (which some might consider weak) for a targeting system and making it rather hard to avoid a simple lightning spell by using the same principle as when lightning hits the ground or you get shocked by a door knob (only longer distance). However, I don't want to aim to win but have fun and if I win, well that's a bonus. If I manage to challenge people and learn something, then I've already won in the long run.

To elaborate, that might be difficult due to the degree of secrecy involved with some characters and factions in the world and the degree to which having the fluid background we have now allows for people to bring in stuff fairly easily most of the time. The more we define things, the less space there is on the whole. Which is not to say it is a bad idea, just to say, it could be difficult to do right and not just end up making more problems in the long run.

@Raptorman

That I understand, which is why I'm asking for help rather than trying piece it together myself. This way we can get the essential stuff and help tie things together. To be honest, I had a hell of a time getting Rach in the first time because I didn't have as much details over the world. I had to ask about stuff in the OoC for historic stuff that had happened in past arcs which if I hadn't, I would've assumed Lost Haven was a normal, average town in Maine. Which considering D-Day happened when? The News would've screamed otherwise and that would've affected my PC, or make her seem ignorant/stupid.

Each idea has its pros and cons, but if we take this bit by bit and focus primary on the world then it shouldn't be an issue.

@Fallenreaper In my defense for having "Greek Gods under [my] belt", I do have a character sheet in the character tab that talks about the Greek Gods (and the Athanatoi in general).

But it would be a good idea to centralize stuff.

@Dedonus

Who said you had to defend yourself? I was just making a simple mention of a fact, nothing wrong because honestly this means someone has a connection within the rp and could easily contact you for PC ideas. Instead of getting that dreaded phobia. If I wasn't full on PCs, I considered a twist on Cerberus (dog) that might be fun to work into your stuff really.

@Fallenreaper I gave fdeviant a lot of magic lore and general world building stuffs. I'll PM you them after work. A lot of it is important to magically based characters who will appear. Not critically important but public knowledge and all that.

@VATROU

I also know someone who could possibly use that as well. @Tearstone had an idea for a magical assassin he was considering entering into the rp but didn't have a lot of information over the magic lore and stuff. The PC is an inspiration from a tabletop and the Dreseden series, mainly the main character. So if you wouldn't mind sending that to me and him, I would be happy as he's wondering who to ask for that. XD

"Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leaders to suffering!" ~My Little Green Friend

Also, Beer is overrated.

@Dedonus

I can't drink beer, makes me gag too badly to enjoy it. XD

Also, hush the code goes like this:

There is no Emotion, there is only Peace.
There is no Ignorance, there is only Knowledge.
There is no Passion, there is only Serenity.
There is no Chaos, there is only Peace.
There is no Death, there is only the Force.

The bad part, Xid (My Jedi PC in Aftermath) doesn't always follow that code to a Tee. Then again, he is a Tech Savvy Machinist with untapped potential he's terrified of. Jayda's (my Sith apprentice who's more Gray) no better. Imagine about 8 years of anger, hate, guilt, and frustration being bottled up while chasing a Trandoshan all over the flipping galaxy only to become his apprentice in hopes of killing him. I seem to like playing PCs with serious issues. >,<

<Snipped quote by Dedonus>

You know...if only I knew of a good Star Wars game...I'd jump on that in an instant....

Oh, wait.....

@nitemare shape

I have and already in one.:p

Oh, also... I have something to bring up btw. I asked NMS in a pm which I'm too lazy to rewrite again so I'll just cut and paste those bits here.

So... I was asking if I could organize and possibly add to CAH OP, redesigning it a bit? I got a few ideas that I think would would look neat as well as make it easier to navigate. In addition, I would like try to add to and collect the Lore of CAH, namely creating an area for what all the players have created and developed. Main things come to mind are what myths and such they have taken, namely for newbies who are interested in being apart of them. A example was this:http://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/3019954 with the Arthurian myths. Dedonus also has most, if not all, the Greek Gods under his belt which can limit myths of Greek origin unless they know specifically who to contact in order to work fluidly with him over the details. Another thought is what is the technology level for most of Lost Haven, the company powers, even the condition/past results of the individual's distracts (like the areas affected by D-Day or other events, how long it took for them to rebuild, etc) that been affected by the world arc events. These were original issues I recall struggling with when I was trying to fit Rach into the world. Affects of these supers/meta/ect suddenly appearing and how long have they been around are another.

I know you're busy yourself, which is why I'm willing to do the work. However, I want to know you won't be upset at me for trying and working on it so I'm asking permission to take on the task. I hope you don't think I'm being rude or trying to take over your rp because I have enough rps on my plate that I'm GM, I can't possibly take on another. However, I do want to feel a little more involved in stuff then I have since I'm a bit stuck on the sidelines unless I make another PC, which I can't handle at this time, and possibly help the RP in the meanwhile.

@Fallenreaper

Hey, I don't think you're being rude at all. If you want to do something that you think might make it easier to follow, go right ahead, I'd certainly credit you with the parts that you do.

@nitemare shape

Anyway, I was considering asking if everyone would be willing to contribute and maybe help some with fleshing out parts that need some clarification. We can also clear away the chaff that isn't needed, like the companies that aren't being using and build the world itself up like covering aspects of Magic, Myths, etc. This might also help make everyone who's apart of CAH feel like they are contributing to the rp and even build off each other's part, even if we're all not on the same arc/story line together or have anything to do with it.

What do you all think?

My family proves you're a little too late hun. XD I was filthy the moment I was born and my mind refuses to be white again!

@Fallenreaper I mean. If its to keep Vat company...

@FacePunch

For the most part, but I won't deny seeing the expression you all have... its gives me a little enjoyment for myself. :p

Going to give it a little bit longer, since eight is an easy number to work with and Fallenreaper seemed to have a character almost ready.

@Drifting Pollen

I'm getting her there. Mainly I'm trying to work over some paranoia issues about making her too strong or too weak. >,< I swear, she's coming along slowly! *head smacks on desk*
