I am so glad I am not apart of the power talk, Yuudai being built like a space marine is good enough for me for now.

@KoL

That being said, where is Reiko vanish off too?


I'll finish Reiko still this week, don't worry. That's if they don't steal my day off again.

There, my new char! I decided to keep the old sheet of Yuuki for now though. I hope that one is okay? If the 'language barrier' is too much of a problem I can let her be capable of speaking whatever language people be using though. If there are any problems or something isn't clear please let me know.


I'll check her now.

So it's like the Mist over in the U.S ? Damn that's brutal, I can already see the Gov thinking about weaponizing it and sending it to other countries for dumb shit moves." We need to weaponize this thing called the Crimson sky and use it on our enemies, afterwards the world."


Ain't that what they always do? Actually one of YTC's main source of income is Black Book contracts with the Govs around the world, specially the USA. Kinda like the Umbrella Corporation, which it's totally not a shameless rip-off.
@KoL Sorry if I annoy you with another question, especially now that I literally said I don't need explaining anymore. But do Youkai's actually speak in a common tongue? And they call them aliens? IN AMERICA.


Don't mind, I like exposing my RP's lore.

Most of them don't speak at all, and some can understand any language because of either power or being alive for long enough to learn them all. There used to be a common language in the distant past, but it got lost because of the barbaric nature of their world. These days, Youkai that can speak, tend speak the languages of the humans from around the area they live, or any other based on personal experiences like travel or business.

EDIT: Yes, the yankees love their little green men, haha. Truth be told the US gov is waist deep in Crimson Sky related conspiracies.
@KoL I'd at least like @AgentFallenSoul to tell myself what rubs him/her wrong though :c, not for the sake of discussion, I couldn't care less, but it irks me a bit that you have to play the messenger and then I don't even get to know the exact reasons.

Also I got a few questions in regards to a thing I think I am going for, which is kind of an innocent devil archetype I guess:
Is the Crimson Sky only in a specific region(Japan) or does it include the entire world? If later is the case, are those Chaser people and agencies and stuff in Japan or on a more global level? How does Japan compare to the rest of the world/Crimson Sky? Please don't decide for "only Japan" now just because of those (annoying?) questions though!

I understood right that the Crimson Sky is only enterable for humans at night but Youkai can go as there please? Or do Youkai have no "easy" access to the "real world"? Or I guess they can just change between those two places at night too @-@?

I am going to read the big text about Youkai in a minute that you wrote in the interest check, so if that question is answered there don't bother explaining, I just want to get this out quick because the sooner my questions are out of the way the sooner I can work on a new sheet! How are Youkai's born? Simple smex? Or myth stuff too (Like objects becoming alive and stuff)?

How prone are you for eldritch-kind of things? Like, a person who summons stuff from "another plane" that is not classified as a Youkai would mean that there is even more "unknown" even if it is just for the sake of fluff (I am not going for a summoner, well, at least not in a direct sense)?


I understand your point with Agent, so I'll let her explain it.

Now for your other questions.

Both the Crimson Sky and the Chasers are a global thing. The name Youkai is used mostly on Japan, though, on other places they would call the denizens of the red realm Monsters, Fairies or even Aliens.

The passages are available only during the night (or on very special other circumstances), for everyone, human and Youkai alike. So, if an Youkai comes to the human world and don't leave until the morning it's locked here until the next nightfall. To being like vampires this can be lethal.

This depends on the type of Youkai. There are all kinds of legends out there, and most of them are at least partially real. Some of them are ven created from humans who got corrupted by the essence of the Crimson Sky and turned into monsters.

Well, I really don't care much to your character's origins if you wanna know. As long as it makes sense. That said, eldritch/divine/interdimensional & stuff is mostly the prerogative of the GMs as NPCs, unless you give us a very well written character. Remember that the Youkai are broad enough that you probably don't need this to create whatever you may be thinking.
@Asuras Sure, I'm putting you on top of the waiting list.
@The ghost in black@Drake Baku I'm at fault here, I know. And I'm sorry for that, but I simply don't know what to do now. The ideas simply aren't coming

@Guess Who Sorry for the lack of reply, your character is very good.

The problem here is me not being able to deliver what you guys deserve. It makes me very shameful and sorry.
<Snipped quote by KoL>
Heh, I was just about to Mention AgentFallenSoul today since nothing came yesterday! But okay, time to rework stuff then, maybe make a new char altogether, might take a little bit of time because Sunday to Wednesday is where I raid from 19:00 to 23:00 depending on what random stuff pops up in my head. I have no problem working out something new altogether, so don't let the following rub you(?) in the wrong way! My goal was to get some power that allows for some utility/offensive stuff (I know the offensive department can get over the top ala Zane, but I kinda did mention she doesn't really care/3muchScience and seeing how you have no problem going for personality-nerfed powers for some reason!) while mainly being a huge defensive tool to laugh into people's face and force mooks to bow down to her.

I am not a fan of *insert power here*+*insert more powers here* because for me a power can, and should, also be a defining point about a character and should have a theme, a random clusterfucks of multiple lesser powers just rubs me wrong. And telekinesis is way too weak of a defensive mechanism considering the power-creep we have here (though main defense comes from density shenanigans regardless...)


Well, if you feel like doing a new character, I won't disallow you, but what I was saying was something on the lines of telekinesis, plus a couple related powers (meaning, things you could do with your telekinesis), like a psychic energy shield or using it to create shields with the present materials.

But in the end the choice is yours.
@Ashifili@Zombehs

I'm just repeating what KoL said. I don't know all tbe sciency stuff like you guys do.

I am wondering how KoL worked it out as 550.5 KG per star and you guys only 10kg per star. I do know that the standard M107 155mm projectile has a weight of approx 43kg, but that's also got explosives in it.

However, the energy released by an impactor depends on diameter, density, velocity, and angle. That means not only do we have to think about weight and speed, but density and shape. If I want to break a car, I could either hit it with a sledgehammer or drive another car into it. Yet the sledgehammer would take less damage than the secomd car. Why? Because the sledgehammer, though lighter and smaller, is denser. You could have something really fast and really heavy, but the energy it releases and thus damage dealt might not compare to a lighter, slower, denser object.
It's also difficult to compare this projectile to explosives. I presume these "stars" use only blunt impact as a weapon, so comparing it to a tactical nuke is obviously going to skew things. Nukes blow up and add explosive damage to the initial impact. That said, comparing things by how much damage they do to the ground is also rather fruitless. Earth is tough - years of high-impact meteors have proved this. Comparing it to something that is less durable, like a car, or a building, would make more sense because they don't have that sheer resitance earth does. I drop an anvil on the ground and crash a plane into the ground - minimal damage. Drop an anvil on a building, it plows through a few floors. Drop a plane on building... well, we all saw 9/11.

When we start adding numbers into things, it just gets confusing. I usually just compare the damage to something else i.e. a 9mm bullet, a rocket launcher, a sparrow in a glittery dress.

And that's my two pence on the matter XP


Oh, WF, have I said I love you, today? If not, then I'm saying it now. Your point is exactly what I couldn't explain/forgotten to consider yesterday, even with my mistake added.

The actual force on object applies to another is rather complicated to calculate without both objects (and their respective parameters, eg: area of the contact surface, acceleration, mass, angular momentum, and so and so) being considered, thus a force without something to be applied against means nothing. I completely forgot to take that into consideration because of the size of my mistake and that's a thing a few shameful for.

Considering everything, I'd say that @Ashifili's power should hit you as hard about as an unencumbered locomotive at 150 km/h would.

*hugs WF* Really thank you for putting it under the correct light.
Attention everyone! Stop that discussion!


I have something to say. I was wrong when I did the calculations those calculations yesterday. So, I sincerely apologize to @Ashifili because of that.

I mistype the numbers and didn't noticed it, instead I blindly followed what the computer said and did a huge mistake. Today, I saw that that those numbers were way too strange and redid the calculations, but using paper and pen and saw I was off by a whole order of magnitude. It's such an atrocious error and it generate so much stress to everyone that I needed to do an apology like this one.

But... it still doesn't excuse the bickering in the thread. Specially when @TheWindel was only relaying the message I asked him to, because I could not have the time to do it. I'd like you all to ignore this incident and carry on like normal, but the next time someone has some complaints, say it just once. Unless I ignore you on purpose, which I would never do, I'll always take then in consideration.

That said, I want to point a few things.

- Since Virgus @Sockpuppet gave up on the character (again), I won't press on scrutinizing him. But if he stays he should seriously be nerfed. Also, you guys should keep in mind this isn't an MMO RPG, class roles mean nothing here, so a character that can only work as a tank is nothing but dead weight for the group.

- @Crimson Raven Zane should stick up to control over space only. Total control over time is too powerful to have freely like this.

- @Skyswimsky Reriri's powers rub @AgentFallenSoul the wrong way, and I'm sure she has a reason for that, so what about changing it to telekinesis with, perhaps, a few other sub powers?

- @Click This I like your character, but you should be mindful that her power can be used only during the night since it requires a connection with the Crimson Sky to do dimensional teleportation like that, and said connection only works during the night. Other than that I'd like to know what's more or less the limit of weight that she can displace with her teleportation, because the way it's written you could basically teleport a whole battleship.

Though, I like her background very much. Just mind the things I said above and be welcome!

Just wondering how you got to tactical nuke levels of damage.


I was talking about concentrated damage, not in blast power. But it certainly is strong than the nukes that hit Japan combined.

See Fat Man had a 21 kt yeld and Little Boy 15 kt. Hoshiko's stars can go on to 49 kt yeld if them all are together.
