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.
Well, we could run into problems that would require such mercantile solutions. If people have non-combat specialties I'll definitely be more likely to include situations that need them. They could also just provide party utility, such as better item discovery or use of one's surroundings, or allowing them to carry and use greater and more varied quantities of items.
If you aren't sure about a direction to take your character though, and feel like you'd be depending on me in order to get it over, you could go a different way. Ideally we should play characters whose intricacies come to us naturally.
@Lugubrious Any suggestions for strengths & weaknesses? I already came up with two weaknesses. Check my CS post in the CHAR section, I'm working on it there. No worries I have it pending too.
Maybe Money Minded which gives him a keen sense for both business opportunities and how valuable various things he encounters in the world might be. He could also get along with animals due to his connection with Sheerow, have a talent for item maintenance, and (as a small business owner) have skill in management and resourcefulness and stuff.
@Lugubrious Alright that sounds good but I can't properly articulate it, how would you word the power?
Hammerspace - Ravio is able to store his items in (and withdraw them from) a casually accessible pocket dimension on his person. Items in his Hammerspace have neither weight nor dimensions, allowing him to keep a lot more items than he'd physically be able to wear or carry. Items in his Hammerspace confer no passive stats/bonuses/abilities and must be taken out and properly equipped/wielded to function. He cannot put anything in his Hammerspace that does not qualify as an item (people, monsters, concepts, vehicles, furniture, etc)
@Lugubrious Yes that is exactly the idea I had in mind, but should the timed duration stay? Or should the item be retrieved once a character is KO'd? And are you saying the ability could function like a bag of holding?
Potentially. In Hyrule Warriors after all, he doesn't carry all the items he uses on his person. In the original game he doesn't exactly have powers, and the way he works is selling people items that he uses Sheerow to take back when they're defeated. There isn't really a timed duration. If allies had to pay to use his items, they would have to be really good items, and even if they didn't have to pay, if they weren't really good items they probably would just not use them anyway. So the best way to implement him without just fudging stuff would be for his first Power to be Hammerspace and maybe start him with three items in his inventory. For his second Power he could summon Sheerow, who could do things like grab items and deliver things like equipment or bombs from afar, and then other Powers could just be manifesting more items from his game for his arsenal. Meanwhile, he'd be able to store any extra items he comes across.
@Lugubrious Would it be game-breaking if Ravio's main power allowed him to give his items to other characters for a short period? I was thinking he would only be able to give the items he rented to Link at first like the Rental Hammer, Ice Rod and Fire Rod?
So in essence, your plan for him is for him to act as a sort of unique support character who supplies allies with items? Conjuring items and pickups from his 'stock' to lend to other characters would be fine. And naturally, he can wield them himself due to Hyrule Warriors. I don't see this as game-breaking since he'd need this ability to be competitive with other characters, who would probably prefer their own weapons if it was inconvenient. He could also stockpile items and other equipment for the team so that other characters don't need to carry all their other stuff on them.
@Lugubrious Oh has Ravio shown up as a spirit? He is from Link Between Worlds. And he is the Dark World version of Link.
He has not. Generally, you can check the Spirit Board document in the first post of the Characters tab to see what characters have and have not appeared.
@Lugubrious I'd like that, oh also I wanted to ask; has King K. Rool shown up as a spirit? Or have: Papyrus, Lancer (Deltarune), Solaire or Lautric of Carim?
K Rool appeared in the Maw but nothing happened to him. Lautrec appeared in the underground jail beneath the Temple of Khamoon in Al Mamoon, and was freed. The others, no.
Not that I'm complaining but it would be nice to have a bit of interaction before the next update.
Although it may be prudent to avoid any action that might get Typhon's attention, I'm sure anyone with both the time and a suitable character would be happy to oblige you.
