Bio

Current GM of World of Light. When it comes to writing, there's nothing I love more than imagination, engagement, and commitment. I'm always open to talk, suggestion, criticism, and collaboration. While I try to be as obliging, helpful, and courteous as possible, I have very little sympathy for ghosts, and anyone who'd like to string me along. Straightforwardness is all I ask for.

Looking for more personal details? I'm just some dude from the American south; software development is my job but games, writing, and trying to help others enjoy life are my passions. Been RPing for over a decade, starting waaaay back with humble beginnings on the Spore forum, so I know a thing or two, though I won't pretend to be an expert. If you're down for some fun, let's make something spectacular together.

I...maybe that was it. I don't know, Caits threw the Games at us Guild Masters.


According to the summary, there's already been an S-class trial this year.
You tried to make that experience as painful as possible, but on the third hider I just clicked 'view raw' and scrolled all the way down.

Yippee, I made it.
Frenzy plant has been added



So here we are. Should I call it quits now?
Well, Gren would at least have Sapphire's message. Anyone tried calling him? Granted he's already cut a wide swatch of destruction, but maybe he could at least keep the body count lower than it is right now. As far as he knows, his team is going to shut this place down, and he's just doing his part.


Well, Abel has sent his message, but other than that and Sapphire's, nobody's contacted Gren.

Is SASG about to give its Swan Song?


Not just yet, I don't think.
Pitchfork?

I think he'll be taking his leave.

Shiro is a loud blabber mouth. Doesn't like talking about himself, but the pages to his book can somewhat be easily cracked open. Looks like Shiro might be alone in stopping his teammates.


Abel doesn't like seriously fighting other people, and would prefer a noncombat solution when a situation is as ambiguous as this. Add in his injury, and he's not anxious for another scrap. So he'd side with Shiro.

What could happen is that Gren gets in among the guards and starts wiping them out. Ignorant to the compliance status of Shiro and Abel, they'd think that the situation would be beyond diplomacy, and start releasing animals before going into retreat. Pop, after his battle with Sapphire, depending on his injury would either be captured or able to flee via speedboat with his family. That way the ambiguousness of righteousness remains, but the Shelter people are at a disadvantage, no permanent damage among SASG occurs, and the authorities can be called in to deal with the remaining faunus and things.
It was my intention to provide a moral dilemma. Who's wrong and who's right isn't always a case of black and white. Right now I'm having some of the NPCs deliberately trying to make the team think that they have no right to be there. I figured a back-and-forth where the team tries to deal with their own viewpoints versus opposing viewpoints, where they're not sure if what they're doing is necessary or unwarranted, where they explore and encounter with a bit of fighting, would be more interesting than penetrating the evil scientist's layer bulldozing everything in their way. If you all want more stereotypical missions from me, please ask, or volunteer to play antagonist first rather than whining later.

As well as losing there faunus pieces they're also losing a substantial bit of there aura strength which is why all the patients Gren put out were so easy to combat.


None of the faunus in the Shelter had undergone the treatment yet. They still had all of 'there faunus pieces'. Gren was able to put out the faunus so easily because he's an enormous walking tank in full armor with tons of combat experience while the patients are unarmored, unarmed, and smaller than him. Coral explained her understanding of how the treatment works.

I forgot about the animals there for a second but they were only ever to be normal animals that happen to have high aura levels and therefore semblances.

If you three just want to kill things, I'll have the guards release some of the animals with stronger semblances and there will be brawl. Pop can be the evil scientist rather than the questionable doctor, some more doctors can be given concussions and some more faunus can be strangled.
Gaston's a dick. Let me get a pitchfork.


He absolutely is, but he's absolutely hilarious. He's not the god of Adored Egotism in TVTrope's pantheon for nothing.
I just started playing Neverwinter. I literally made my character Gaston and I'm having a blast roleplaying as him.

Nobody survives shipwrecks like Gaston!
Nobody interacts with people and objects like Gaston!
Nobody completes the tutorial like Gaston!
