Bio

So... Bio's are a thing now. Fancy.

Anywho!
25 y/o guy, currently student and living by myself, yada yada.

Veteran Roleplayer, with over 7-8 years of experience in both Pen & Paper and text based, with minimal LARP Experience. I have a great interest in fantasy settings and tends to dislike Post Apocalypse, or generally anything involving guns and modern weaponry. Gimme a sword and the ability to throw fire, and I'm happy.

I have relatively high standards and find myself somewhat disappointed if my posts are below 500 words, preferring ~1000+ whenever possible (sadly, not always easy). At the same time I expect similar standards from my fellow players. I also have a tendency to play female characters in spite of my being a guy, mainly because I find it more entertaining than playing the big burly guy.

"You never learn," Aurelia muttered, letting her left hand fall into the folds of her cloak, hidden from view. She shook her head even as Evvie continued her charge, although it was on foot this time. Time and time again she had proven that blindly charging her would do her no good, and only result in a certain defeat if she did not come up with anything better. Maybe, maybe it wasn't possible to have a fight with someone who relied only on brute strength? At least, not a fight like she wanted it.

With a heavy sigh, she readjusted the grip on her scythe and waiting for when Evvie came near, charging up for another blast in her left hand. She knew it would take a long time for her to charge up enough magic in her scythe if she kept redirecting her magic like this, but she was tired of just jumping away. She made a sweeping movement with her scythe -avoiding Evvie's attempts to grab it - and spent a little of the magic she was still gathering in her scythe, increasing the force of the swing. It hit Evvie's leg with enough force to stop the blow.

She took a step closer and looked up, locking her gaze on Evvie's and revealing the crimson eyes of hers for the first time. "You never learn," she said, almost as if it was a death sentence in and of itself. "You've tried again and again to charge at me blindly, but it's never worked." She was close enough that she doubted Evvie would notice her moving her left hand. If she was transfixed with her red eyes, then she was sure not to notice, Aurelia thought.

"Learn, girl!" She placed her hand on Evvie's chest and, without warning, unleashed a blast of magic powerful enough to knock her at least a few metres away.

I think my background is almost done, I just need some critique.

It's okay, but feels a bit bare-boned. It's as if she wrote it herself in a hurry (judging by the tone and the use of "meanie heads" and so on). While the tone of it isn't the important part, what I would like is a bit more detail here and there. I can't really point at anything specific, but it feels a little short. For example: Why didn't she want to become a "government weapon" as she say it? And how did she discover that she was lesbian?

Then there are also a few concerns of mine: Her size. Yes, she's a Mer-shark, or mermaid with shark characteristics, but being almost 5 metres long (or 16 feet in imperial units) is a bit much. Could you tone it down a bit to, say, 3-3,5 metres (10-12 feet), perhaps?

Another thing which is more of a question. I assume that she can only breath underwater while in her Mermaid Shift?

As long as you're okay with the harpy and gryphon phases working together. I thought it was a different approach, and something I would give a try. Also added in the background info for Liza, which has been adjusted. I need to finish up the powers and abilities, which will need to include an explanation of what IciQuills do.

I'll look at your background and come back to you some time later today.

I'm no novice to rp. A little faith would be appreciated. >_> Thank you.


I know, and I apologise. It's just that I have come across multiple people that powerplay at every opportunity they get, so I do what I can to avoid it. Sorry if I offended you :/
Alright, it looks good.
Just remember to stick to the "trouble controlling her powers" thing when it comes to more minute control and it's approved :)

Nice song selection, ReaptheMusic. I'm a bit of a Halestorm fan. As for my undecisiveness, Liza's transformation has kind of shifted away from a harpy and towards a griffin. Further details about Liza will be added tomorrow night.


Alright. Still, a Harpy being the half-way-point between Human and Gryphon. Interesting idea, honestly, even though she only looks like one in that form.
Alright, Reap. A few things first.

1 - I'd like for you to list what those languages are. English and Japanese are sort of a given (I assume English is her mother tongue). What are the others, and how good is she with them? For example, can she make conversation in those other languages, or is it just enough that she can understand the gist of what is being said, but is unable to speak it herself? Since she's only 19, I'd suggest you stick to one, perhaps two, more languages. But if you pick two then it should only be "can understand a bit of what's being said" and not being able to make conversations. A large part of the world speaks English, so it's likely that she and her father used English more often than not.

2 - Her fire manipulation/conjuring. How much? As in, how much fire can she conjure, and what are the limits of her control? She was trained as an assassin, so I assume that she specializes in discreet use of it, and small amounts. Regardless, I'd like for you to specify so that we can get on an even page and avoid her burning down the forest, and me facepalming because then I'd have to scold you for Powerplaying (:p).

Aside from that, I don't see much wrong with your character. The only other thing might be that I'd like a little more in her Background. It makes the requirements, but I'd still like a little more about her time in the Dojo, and her childhood.

@Pathfinder
I'll get to your character once you've finished it.
Alright.
I'm waiting for Tai to post before I make my next one.
If she's stupid enough to keep charging, yeah. If, however, she veers off and stops her charge she'll avoid them. They're not going super fast and is most definitely avoidable.

...Take it as a "Stop fucking charging me," kind of attack xD It's not going to work, as has been proven more than once by now :P
Shifting Worlds is still open for anyone who would be interested in joining. Recruitment's still up :)
