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.

America's not the only country with laws in place against pedophilia, right?
@Lugubrious I think I've got my gal down pat, how does she look?


She's accepted.
Just so y'all know, I'm taking the contest deadline to mean 11:59 EST tonight. If you've got last minute entries, go go goooooo.


This^. Remember everyone, we're at 10 participants right now. If we get four more entrants (looking at you Harine) we can proceed to the final stage of rewards.

I think Varius could qualify thanks to his Aura usage?


True.
@LugubriousIs it your last post?


In my most recent post is an entire thing for the seniors to do. Insert there.

So my gal is finished for the most part (yaaaaay). I'm just struggling to find a face claim for her


Still good. All we need is a semblance and appearance, looks like.

Was reading over the first page for Characters.

>mid-to-long range.

Ahahahahaha.

I think you might have mixed things up there.

Tank/Assassin(Berserker) is a bit more accurate. Although Warrior works as well I suppose.

Unless the definition of Mage has changed now.


*Sniff* I just wanted to use Mage.
Is someone lined up for the next contest?

Cause I do have an idea.


Nope, feel free to do your thing.
Heh, usually it's Kaben that posts pictures detailing the death of the things I like, as with Dio and ferrets. Though technically it wasn't a ferret.

So, is team KNVS posting now?


Yep.
Vivi looks good so far.

Man, Robert is desperate.

Don't diss the soap bubbles, man.



Oh, and one more quick thing about the aura flavor. Not only does the normal glow manifest as the 'flavor' when willpower and focus is put into the equation, and it can be used to 'charge' things, but is can also be felt. In the past I've described Abel's aura as flowing through him like an electric current, a sort of energetic tingle that both healed him and hurt a little when he was injured. This is oftentimes to precursor to discovering and being able to manipulate one's own flavor.

In another note, I've redone the theme of Abel's moves in my contest entry and added a bit more to it. Not that quantity is a better idea than quality, but it's a part.
shit

i hate it when i get my schwarz twisted




Oh, and I thought I'd make a quick index of some possible aura flavors for seniors. Remember, while empowered aura isn't the same as semblance, the two can often be connected. It stands to reason that if your semblance is water control, and your character's color blue, your flavor would be water. The main aesthetics that you'd be concerned with right now are Channel, Burst, and Guard. I'll give an example. You can get creative:
Wind:
Visible air currents spiral around the character's arm and fingers, slithering over the surface (channel)
A blast of wind, like a balloon full of gas popped, flows out from the point of impact (burst)
A miniature hurricane raged beneath the attacked area, spinning and repelling the assault (guard)

Razor:
As the character's arm moves, the fingers and knuckles cut through the air, leaving streaks (channel)
A huge arc slash, as if a blade had been swung faster than the speed of light, defends the point of impact (burst)
The incoming attack is blocked by an invisible edge, causing sparks and sounds of metal on metal to appear (guard)

Other flavors include:
Fire, sand, ice, water, blood, dust, light, sound, soapbubble, shadow, electricity, shot, acid, ink, glass, fog, and pretty much anything else that can act as energy, be channeled through the user's arm or leg and into objects of creatures, by condensed into a single point and then explode outward, and provide an increased aura defense to keep blows from connecting.
