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.

Well, I've added a reason. Its related to her fear of unstable places :PIn an odd way.


I suppose it makes sense. She's added to the Player List :)
Alright, so Amaretto has left the premises and is now by the Inn. Or, well, almost by the inn.

Alright. Removed the first bit, changed the second one to only have a possibility of feeling a bit of static if someone hits her physically, and removed the last bit.As for the reason, I've added it in the same part where it states she doesn't like it, as well as a small addition to her personality.Besides, not everyone has to like the same thing. Just because most people would jump at the chance of flying with their own power doesn't mean everyone would do so. Some would prefet having solid ground beneath their feet. :P


That's true, but there should still be a reason for not liking to fly.
Amaretto stood silent for a few moments, eyes turned to the ceiling as he contemplated if there were any questions he wanted answered. In the end he just shrugged. "Not really. You said it'll take a week before your work is finished? If so, then I'll probably see you in a week at the latest. I trust you will be okay with a visit or two during that time, just to allow me to see how the works is going... I trust you will be okay with that?"

The question was not so much a question as him simply stating that there was a good chance he'd come by to see how the work was going. "Also, in case you're still wondering, should either of my friends, my wife or daughter return as a mindless abomination, I will be willing to cut them down myself. I owe them at least that after all they've done for me." A few moments of silence passed, and he actually smiled a bit at the thought. He knew it was morbid, and an offense against nature, but he did truly look forward to seeing them, even if it meant he had to cut down half of them himself. It wouldn't be the worst I've done. If anything, it'll give me a chance to apologise for not protecting them when those Nighthooves attacked.

"But all that aside? No. There's nothing else. I should have enough money for a room in Woodswatch. I'll be waiting there." With that, he turned around and made for the door, following this 'Tsar' out.
"'Can't have you snooping around where you shouldn't be,'" Theá muttered as they started to get within sighting distance of Woodswatch inn. She was still in her insect form, hidden behind Amaretto's ear. "He's definitely hiding something."

"We already know that he's working on a twisted form of resurrecting. Why not just smite him then and there? Should be enough of an offense to leave him a bloody smear on the wall," Amaretto whispered in return, quietly enough that only Theá could hear it.

"I could, yes, but I want to know if he really did intend to try to achieve a fake ascension. While right now I could simply put a hole through his heart, I feel that doing so right now would be... inopportune."

"Inopportune how?"

"Sometimes," she said, "the cat plays with the mouse first."
but it also becomes a bit more blurry, by which I mean that her body becomes a bit less physical in order to allow her to try and use the full potential of her powers.

This. Please delete this and make her body 100% physical. She's a Fae, not a Spirit so her body should be 100% physical.

Her body also becomes a bit less physical, and while it is not impossible to hit her with physical attacks, doing so might make the opponent who attacked her suddenly feel static or become a bit paralyzed for a bit, due to the lightning going around her body.
Same wit this body. While she could (potentially) surround herself in a small dome of static electricity, she is still 100% there and if someone hits her she will be hit.

This ability also leaves her feeling rather exausted and she will need to recover for a while. There is a large chance that after using this she will go out of her Shifter form
And another bit I'd like deleted :) While her most powerful attacks will drain her a bit, it won't exhaust her nor force her to exit her Shifter form (in fact, you can only exit the Shifter form by doing it yourself--willingly.

Last thing: I'd like a reason for why she doesn't like flying. I believe that most people would jump at the chance to fly under their own power, so why doesn't she like it?
*Beep*ing doubleposts!

Alright... it looks good, but there are a few things that concern me. First is her Shifter appearance. I feel like a lightning-covered humanoid figure is a bit off considering what the Thunderbird is portrayed to actually look like. My suggestion would be this: A humanoid body, a pair of wing-like arms, or perhaps just a pair of wings on her back? Hawk-like eyes and with a few other bird-like characteristics--and sparks of lightning occasionally dancing across her body. There are legends of the Thunderbird taking human shape, so I think something like this would be possible. You'd also be allowed to fly if you really want to. She is a bird-like Shifter after all. Perhaps claw-like hands as well? Just an idea, but I request a change in appearance as it doesn't quite fit with the legends and myths. I imagine something like this if her wings are still on her arms. Or perhaps something like this if her wings are on her back.

Another thing that I took note of—and something I never thought I'd actually say—is that she's actually underpowered. Compared to the rest of us and what I see as the standard for Worlds Collide, Melina is actually too weak. Considering how she's focused on commanding some of Nature's forces, I'd say she'd belong to the Fae class (please add that after "Shifter Form - Thunderbird"). She'd have incredible amount of power; being able to call down lightning and zap people with thunderbolts from afar.

She'd a high-power, medium-mobility type of Shifter. So while her abilities will eventually drain her, she's capable of much more than what you write. Also, since she's the "sorcerer" she's able to control the lightning. She can sort of "point" at a place, and lightning will strike there, or she can fire it from her own body. The choice is hers. So no "exhausted" after sending out a thunderbolt or two, and definitely not exit her Shifter form. You could easily give her some more power, and if it gets too much I'll just give you a poke :)

Now... there is one thing that really bugs me, and that is actually a part of her powers: While a person may become a bit faster, stronger, or tougher after becoming a Shifter, they do not become cleverer. She'll be just as intelligent after as she was as before. Becoming a Shifter affects your body and allows you to come in contact with your dormant magic, but not your mind.
I should be online by then :) I look forward to it ^^
Anime pictures are perfectly alright, BUT I also require a written description. A picture is only ever for additional visual description.

As for a lightning elemental: There is Raijin, a Japanese Lightning God. There's also a Thunderbird (North American mythology). I suggest that one if you want something that can trigger lightning clouds and call down lightnings.

Regardless of which you choose, I highly recommend researching them before you start making your character to make certain that you can make a powerset that's similar to the actual mythic creature :)

I fully read the first post and then the first two pages of the OOC and this looks like a really good concept, but I also noticed afterwards that you said it was closed... Is this still the case? Because if so, I think I might leave a Reserve CS here. I would hate to miss a chance to join such a roleplay ^^


It isn't closed. At least not anymore. You're more than welcome to join :) We're currently 4 (active) members, with one new addition of Lazo. With you it'd be 5, so you're very, very welcome ^^
