I do agree with Yandere's sentiment that words not wording workingly do be a problem this time of year.

Scratch that, place your bets on polymarket.

Looks like I'll be working on memorial day weekend. And no, this does not mean place any bets on polymarket.

due to a typo on my part I was nearly convinced I owed the IRS nearly $3000 in excess taxes this year.

Bio

-There will be delays in replies. Largely due to working overtime, voluntary obligations; other RPs and online-things may compete for my attention.

'Bout me:
Started RPing (badly) back in '05, mostly doing nation-RPs with an emphasis on technology and strategy, later edging out to character-espionage and military-tactics before doing "less serious" character roleplays that were outside of the 2005-2008 continuity.

That's when I went to Dead-Frontier, and found the RP community there, joined a clan, did some pretty good roleplays and pretty much loosened-up my online-personality. When the clan-leader decided to move her RPs here, most of the clan followed.

Took a course in technical-writing back in '08, so now I may sometimes use the semicolon correctly.

In 2010 I dusted off the old nation-RP continuity I had, doing a few hetelia-esque RP-shenanigans there..

RP-Habbits: I tend to geek-out on little technical-details, and sometimes infer how those details would impact the background of the roleplay. Great for world-building, not so great when you had a perfectly good plotline and I just MacGyver it off the rails (though I usually er to the side of amusement, sometimes it creates very grim side-stories).

Is that an innuendo? It sounds like an innuendo.I hadn't realized Rin was Mulan, wow I feel stupid. Hm, who thinks Nora will have a sister?

Y'mean Loki?
-Or the Oreo-twins?
Ah... somewhere along the line I inferred that you wanted a prisioner/slave setup, or the president's daughter held ransom (and somehow in a modern setting)... not... an allied-soldier trying to keep a refugee alive.
-Yeah, that's a pretty big difference in plot, come to think of it. The later is also probably even easier to do, just make it five seconds post-nuclear.

also: free bump.
Well, either they'd have to contain the less-dense air in some way, or present a large surface-area inversely proportional to the amount they heat the air above them.
-Said surface needs to be heat/flame resistant, and lightwieght, for obvious reasons.

Would be kinda nifty to see a bunsen-burner powered flying index-card...

...

I totally am not building one right now.

*Soaks an index card [paper airplane] in lighter fluid, lights it on fire, throws it.*
The fluid keeps the paper from burning to ash for about 15 seconds.

Best example of this: if you ever do a paper/rubbish fire, the paper ash has a tendancy to float... propotional to how much it is on-fire.

Alternately, they could take just about any stovepipe and turn it into a jet-engine.

Does Glynda count as the main cast?

Asura said So I'm guessing Pyrhha will die, if any of the main cast. Why can't it be Yang?




Don't worry, Jaune will probably die too. That, or get expelled by... some sort of inquisition... by a spaniard drinking coffee and launching children via catapult...

BTW: I'm betting major E-cookies that Pyrrha's last words are gonna be "I'm Sorry".
*Isn't Pyrrha also voiced by the same person that voiced Agent Carolina and/or Tex?
-Jaune's got dibbs on her spear, BTW.

M'kay... now I'm picturing Achilles giving Joan of Arc his spear, and apologizes if it hurt her.

Also, Mulan, and Thor... dating?
-Gender-swapping team JNPR sounds more interesting by the second...

Yeah a littleBump still looking

Aside from the "only replies on every other day begining with a W" and slow pacing... and maybe the tendancy to get more than a little side-tracked at all the other little Soviets actively trying to kill my character (resaulting in an IC living-arrangement that was far more complicated than it should've been*)... er... was there anything else actually going wrong with the RP?

Yes, there is some liturature on the modernized Chinese military... but it's a bit hard to find... and the raw stuff is a pain to translate, thanks to simplified chinese character: GAN-4 (also, the reason why chinese characters are banned on this forum).

Im calling acoustic levitation crazy beacause it would require quite a calculative mind and vast knowledge in physics. Otherwise, it might work, though im not sure how the movement of air would actualy make it denser.

I was implying the use of the wave's sheer power to move onself, as if with air magic. Though of course, that is pretty harmfull to a human being.

Actually, moving air is less dense for a given speed. As warm air is moving faster on the molecular-level, and is in-turn, less-dense... ironicly, this would allow pyro-mancers to ride their own thermals with greater ease and less harm to themselves and others than acoustics and wind-bags.

As noted, self-immune. Not many sci-fi characters self-destruct upon reaching maturity of their powers (some do, though).
1. Such power pretty much ends-up being a super-blanket, meaning the ice, although cold, cannot cool anything else until the effect is dispelled. Also would grant total thermal immuity unless to save mana, it only protects the vitals.

2. In marvel comics, it's implied that power-users are immune to their own powers. So no burst eardrums or shredded vocal-cords for Banshee. Likewise, Cyclops's eyelids are bazooka-proof.
If its an RP that pits 'sides' I preffer RPing a whole team on the individual-level as a cohesive-unit. Or two partial-teams to portray how a unit behaves as many all at once.

But if it's just investigative/spy RP? Single protagonist, and a ton of meatbags.

He's hinted at a main character dying? Damn, them feels will be hard to swallow, especially if it's a member of Team RWBY.

More likely to be Velvet, or Cardin. Possibly Pyrrha if I remember my history (Achilles).

BTW: Nora is Thor. Think about that.
