The War of the Three

@thewizardguy

Most of those powers are already owned by characters already present in the story. Simply copying someone else's abilities is lame, at least, I think so. Others, like damage redirection, are too OP for us to even consider, unless they had significant drawbacks.

The War of the Three

A Q&A event will most likely be brought about via a Discord.

@TheWindel

¬_¬ why you make me suffer?

@The 42nd Gecko

Juno didn't agree to not show up. She was kicked. It's a whole different story. It won't matter as of now, but she's still present on the RP and can fight back if someone is ever so stupid as to trigger her.

The War of the Three

@KoL Speaking of space and time, probably the only thing I miss about the vassals is I never got to do a neat trick I had planned for Alexi vs Juno.

Alexi: Via the interesting interplay of space and time, I can "sidestep" your gravity waves you send out to flaunt your power!
Juno: Very interesting, but, I can still just teleport behind you and blast you.
Alexi: Yes, well, there's always a few downsides to any technique.

@The 42nd Gecko

Sincerely, Alexi would have no edge over Juno. She's quite used to fighting Time manipulating enemies, especially since her foil Vassal it's the one that has Time as their Element. By the way Element, just like Hohenheim said, is how the Vassals and their Masters call the concept that they embody.

Like I said before, you guys shunned the Vassals before we could get to explain anything about them or yet to make the story more interesting for you. Making assumptions about them will not result in truth more often than not.

Perhaps a discussion thread specifically for questions/explanations related to lore, history, and important characters/places? I've actually had a lot of questions myself.

@Inner Demon

Either that or a chat room/etherpad. The latter of all, seems to be the best option when it comes to archiving.

<Snipped quote by KoL>

Is Ananta gonna hold a storytime for the kiddies? Or will this be entirely OOC?

@The 42nd Gecko

A potential framing device. It can certainly be considered.

@KoL
So objects can be created together with energy/states already applied to them? So for example, you could create a computer chip as well as provide it with electricity?

Could Silver Eyes be used for 'brute force' attacks, creating laser beams and blasts of fire? Effectively simply bringing a destructive force into existence.

Could the Silver Eyes be used to 'create' things such as space and time? So could you use Silver Eyes to create a pocket dimension, expand the space between two points, or create a corridor of contracted space? Could you create a time distortion similar to that created by a black hole to alter the flow of time in an area relative to the rest of the universe? Think 'hyperbolic time chamber' or 'narnia'.

@thewizardguy

I'll have answers for these when I'm in front of a proper computer, in a couple hours or so.

The War of the Three

By the way, everyone, we are thinking about holding a Q&A event sometime and will probably archive whatever comes out of it. We are still thinking the best way to do it, meanwhile you can keep those questions coming over here.

This kind of interaction is far more interesting than what we had over here for most of this RP's duration. We are actually quite glad that we got some real interest in these past couple months.

The War of the Three

@TheWindel
So a lead bullet and a pillow would cost the same amount of energy to create? Considering the lead bullet has far more mass, but the pillow has far more volume.

@thewizardguy

More or less like that.

However, the eyes still follow the minimum logic. So, if you attempted to create a bullet flying at lethal speeds, it would cost far less than a pillow flying at lethal speeds, since you'd need far more contrived conditions (not only would you need more energy, but also to create a pillow that doesn't get destroyed by the forces involved) to have the second one work.

Ultimately, the Silver Eyes are much better to create things that your character is knowledgeable of/intimate to, or at least, something that he can get a decent mental image of. That's one of the reasons why Henry's black holes pale in comparison to what he saw Juno do before. Aside from the fact that she's the physical embodiment of space and gravity, there's the fact that he doesn't know how gravity works.

@Banana

In all likelihood, Fran would be more efficient with Silver Eyes than Bonesword, mainly because she would be able to use them to empower her illusions. His skill only applies to plants so if he used it to do plant feats, surely he would be better than anyone (as long as the IC description met his claims), except perhaps Victoire when it comes to her roses (but is not something anyone needs to fear since she'll never get that kind of power, despite being the only Demon that actually deserves it).

After all, her focus allows her to be much better at that specific task than him. Comparable to an non specialized college graduate trying to beat a technician's focused skill. It just doesn't work that way.

Anyway, no, Fran would certainly beat BS when it comes to potential to use Silver Eyes and none of them has any potential to have Gold.

The War of the Three

Typically that is how it works. Hit or miss of course. What constitutes as a "proper" place is at best, random chance, or at worse not an consideration.

@Lucius Cypher

More like it's a matter of common sense more than anything else. A bit of thought before acting, coupled with actually reading and paying attention to others' posts, can save you of a world of self-induced pain.

The War of the Three

<Snipped quote by KoL>

That makes me think that you can be the weakest shit on the battlefield, but if you know how to properly pace yourself with the Eyes, you can become one of the worst fears of the enemy.

@Banana

Are you realizing that just now? It holds true not only for the Eye people, but for nearly anyone else. Golden Eyes are a little less versatile than Silver, but anyone that has watched say... Scar from FMAB (when he actually learned to use his brain) can realize a lot of potential uses to the power to destroy stuff.

Fate/ Transcendent Paradigm (A Fate/GO Based RP) — Take 2!

It's not too late to write the Masters out.

Just continue on as if they were never there aside from whatever Master we end up keeping. xD

@Raineh Daze

That's probably the most sensible approach, since I really don't see most, if any of the Masters keeping any important job in the story. Likely it'll require some fixing of the backstory, to accommodate to this change, but that's not something that we can't handle. Retcons are hardly unheard of at the Nasuverse, anyway.

I... feel like this does need to be addressed *somehow*.

I think that we could open a second Servant slot for anyone not using a Master though.

@VitaVitaAR

Maybe, but I don't think that it's prudent to throw even more characters in an already slow moving story. More servants may help pick up the pacing, but there's the chance of bloating, so it's a bet. Though, I endorse the idea of switching around characters that aren't being used, or that the player doesn't want to use at the time. Like, say, the chance to switch Servants between missions (not that I think most here would use it but, it being there is already a plus).

The War of the Three

@The 42nd Gecko

She looks about right for me now. You know the drill, wait for whatever is it that @TheWindel may say.
