The Spirits Within

Prisk said You can definitely revise your current spirits, so that they function better within the stagger system, but they should remain pretty much the same if you don't change them for something else. You'd have to give me an example of how you would like to "level up" your skills, as it would be easier for me to answer the question! Around four skills/spirits is what each character can have that are 'combat oriented.'

Hmm… for example, for Kim’s animal spirits, can I add the skill of transformation (shape shifting into whatever form the spirits —residing in Kim— were like when they had a body)? Or would you rather have him improve his healing skills (improved healing and/or add new skill: heal [insert one status effect here]?

@Anima: Wow that sucks… at least you found that out before you had a fatal anaphylaxis.

@Ozerath: It depends on what you consider is “people stuff” :)

Prisk said By the way, how do you guys feel about Samuel being the antagonist? — from any kind of perspective, if you feel anything at all about it. I mean, it’s a pretty common device in story telling, but if you disregard that.

Expected, but —based on what little we know— seems out of character for Samuel, so hopefully we get to read more about what happened to him to change! I simply hope that Samuel doesn’t turn out to be the whining Shion character from Xenosaga 3 (the one where I had too much fun beating up the protagonist when you have to fight her as a boss right before the last boss, after enduring her unbearable attitude for at least half the entire game).

Oh yes, I had a question considering the Tree of Life bit: Can we improve the spirits the character has (add new and/or improved skills) instead of changing the spirits? If we can, what’s the limit/restrictions (number of skills added and/or how much the improved skill can “level up,” so to speak)?

Since Rockette has the charger adapter problem, it’ll most likely mean our collab post will also be delayed.

@Tenish the Mighty: Ten! Tell us the answer to the song quiz, before you go missing again!

Prisk said I'm gonna make you my OOC Enforcer, JJ, for all my roleplays in the future.

Being the first week of uni, like everyone else, I am also busy, but Rockette and I are working on a collab. Either way, the meds won’t kick in for awhile (for Kim), so unless you want to read about complete (or symbolic) nonsense that Kim is seeing/hearing (that would most likely add nothing to the story), after whoever is ready to post posts, I think we should find a nice place to end the conversation with Sofia (interrupted by the sudden noise deeper in the facility?) and go meet you know who.

Prisk said All my little bees hard at work, I like it! I shall get to work myself this week and post a story progression timeline, so that this train keeps moving no matter what.

Oops! I guess you already had that in mind XD Forgive me, oh great Game Master

Times when I know I'm a nerd when the first thing I want in the video is the "alchemist hot sauces”… *Sighs* I don’t even use hot sauce…

@Prisk: Thanks! I’ll work on the details of the region (Kameeraska), but for now, I'm going to reserve the peninsula that's sticking out south west of Tyria.
The Friendship Festival is an annual event (except for last year) and the last time I went, I was bored :P It’s mostly just overly priced American food, loud music, old airplanes, and a lot of people.

Ugh, school also starts on Monday for me… not looking forward to it either.

The Spirits Within

@Prisk: Is it okay if I make up a region or city state in Tyria (unless you have already had something planned)? I was polishing Nancy's back story and I realized none of them would make much sense if was from Cetra.

Was literally unable to move out of the house, because of a "Friendship Festival" a near by military base is holding. I live right in front of the main road and people are just flooding the streets.

@Ozerath: Gotta agree with you, Oz. The song and video was great XD

@Prisk: Thanks and also congratulations!


I will need to postpone my post for this week. I’m in the middle of writing several essays for applications and I feel distracted to write something for the IC. I am, however, intending to do a collab with Rockette soon.

*Turns to Rockette*

*Translation: Whenever you’re able to, considering the circumstance.

@Ozerath: *Gasp* It’s a zombie! Welcome back Oz!

Hmm… Prisk, what’s the plan for future plots? After you revamped the Codex/Combat Guideline/etc., I noticed the “future story plan” part gone, so I was just wondering.
