You should look at my new account, I think.

No love for the Search or the Rift? Or have you just not read those ones yet?


Just as good as the one I mentioned, but considering the three are counted as a trilogy I thought it was self-explanatory.
I would buy a limited series of the Red Lotus’ backstories in a heartbeat, in all honesty I think they could be very interesting and if they are half as good as the The Promise then you will have to take my money (what little of it there is) immediately.
Neat. Guess I called it with the antagonistic snark. Shame. =/

Sloth said Unlike Gowi, I'm semi okay-ish with Ming-Hua, my biggest grievance with her wasn't that she could make arms out of water and use those arms to bend, it's that they don't really bother to explain how she makes those arms. She just dives into a pool and comes out with water arms. I was also excited to see the return of combustion bending and finally see some exposition on how that works (more specifically what was up with that third eye stuff), but instead all we got was a single throwaway line of dialogue that might never be brought up again about some random warlord.

The biggest difference between me and most Avatar fans I talk to is that I'm actually more than okay with Zaheer's becoming a badass airbender after only having airbending for a week or so. But that comes from me actually practicing martial arts years ago and assuming Zaheer to be an ex chi-blocker or something. But regardless, this thread has made me...well...not outright cool with it, but more accepting of Bolin's lavabending, and I s'pose lavabending in general.

Flying is still the most amazing thing in history though. /sarcasm


But yeah, I wish there was a tiny bit of exposition regarding “why can you do these ridiculous things”, but we were left by the finale in the void so to speak as it became a confusing unknown that they did what they did because they were “badass” which is one of my biggest complaints about season three in general. With that said I do like Zaheer and Ghazan as characters; couldn’t care less about the two others so much I don’t care to remember their names or even google them haha.

Also, flying is ultra dumb, imo. /notsarcasam

I'll bring up the starter post- I guess we'll just start on the highway, and it can by empty right now. Just start where they are looking for supplies and they notice a hoard in the distance (Lee the watchman xD) and it gives them enough time to get in their vehicles and leave.It'll take me about 20 minutes to get the starter up, I'm getting my daughter down for bed.


Vehicles? We're wasting GAS on a big maybe we'll find resources? Hahaha what. Nuts.

It's okay, I'll make sure for Will to sarcastically lecture you for this.
That’s nice, and as much as the “you don’t know what plasma is and I am an expert” banter is interesting… I already know plasma is ionized gas. Whilst science was certaintly not my greatest subject in academics, I do know the fundamentals of it. The reason I mentioned plasmabending as being an attribute of firebending is solely based that the average writer (they’ve given lavabending to firebenders before giving it to earthbenders and done major disservices to their own lore on other occasions) would connect that lightning due to the fact superheated plasma and other scientific mumbo-jumbo forms storm expulsions such as lightning bolts which in the Avatar universe is fire because “reasons”.

Lightning = Discharged Plasma
Lightning = derived of Firebending for reasons
Forms of Plasma = Firebending somehow

It’s not what I would do if I was a writer of Avatar or running an AU, but I think it’s what the creators would do for their canon given circumstances and such.

This all isn’t important anyway, so we should stop before one of us become antagonistic and instigates an argument and thus garners moderator attention.
What have I missed folks? Probably a lot. I don't know how I'm going to pick up Huxley again, how much time has passed in the IC do you think lololol?
Promotion!
You can throw me in with Powys/Gwynedd, since Wales always gets conquered and things so could be neat to see how you do this. Though I was tempted to pick the ole fatherland Poland.

Speak for yourself, Jake knows how to roll solo (IE: Make fires, cook game.) Heck, he's probably the most competent person in the group.I mean, really, how useful are 17 year olds going to be in the apocalypse?


The young adults should know city streets and certain neighborhoods fairly well for navigational purposes, they also living here know the climate and current events so they would know if a survivor was ever in the local news or so forth. Probably also know other knicks and knacks such as evacuation routes, military presence, etc.

Makes me wonder if I should've run my engineer, locksmith, sheriff's daughter, etc. but no, picked Will.

I almost made my character an adolescent (inb4clementine) girl, lol.

I think Rare forgot a "not" in his post.While I would really like to do a Marvel RP at some point, I would agree that original super hero rp's, to an extent, are doing better. The Create-A-Hero RP in the Advanced section has been running since the new RPG went up (i.e. 9 months). Someone in here *cough*Gowi*cough* even use to be part of it.


Writing block for Huxley, do you want me to try to give him another shake?
