As someone who once unironically used grey-on-black text .... don't. Its impossible to read on OLED screens, which include most modern phones.

Sometimes I feel like this site is a Thai buffet. I'm sure there's delicious things here, but for the life of my I can't find anything that really speaks to me right now.

When not prepping for my D&D table, I should spruce up some of my stuff here. Not all of my old content is the garbage I presumed it was. But some things I wrote we won't talk about ....

Reflections on characters past: "Adi really was a spoiled brat. How did I ever think her motivations were compelling?"

@percius388 Her original gimmick was actually this (qtd from int check):

Adrianna carried something called a Wraith Pendant. It might be obvious what that does. It contains a wraith that can be summoned for a massive, if temporary and later-debilitating, surge of power. Its not far off from the power level that seems to be targeted for this RP's characters. For this, I was wondering if I could invoke something similar. The character is actually two entities: a living person who never died, and the soul form or someone who did and has gained the powers associated with time spent in the incorporeal world which can inhabit the living person's body (control of the body remains cooperative, not adversarial). The possible advantage here is that it can be suppressed (the soul can occupy a small trinket in place of the person) to be a completely normal living human, but with the added disadvantage of mortality. Being still a living human makes the character vulnerable as such, even if they have the power of a wraith at their hands.


That actually ends up being substantially underpowered when everyone else is semi-immortal demigods basically (though it was originally balanced against normal human party members). I'm most likely just going to do something new. I also want to play with a different set of weapons than she traditionally carries.
@percius388 :D I think you would have liked Adrianna, the character I had wanted to use for this but actually was underpowered (which is ironic given her design). Not at all that benevolent, but rather fascinating nonetheless.
Okay I'm now actually creeped out. I literally had a dream about this last night: german night-fighter squadron hunting british bomber groups. Yes, I'm down.

EDIT: Oh look, its you again. :P I feel like you and I may end up seeing each other somewhat frequently on here cuz apparently we think alike.
Awwww yiss! Time to do this.

Westwall you sure this be a casual-standards group? :P Not that there's anything wrong with high standards; it does not change my interest.

Now decisions to make ... I tend to write predominantly female characters to the tone of me having vastly more of them in storage than men. Of course, all my RPs died so none of them are in use right now and the active-play balance is even. I'm torn as to whether I should write a man for this, or stick to my guns so to speak.

Also think I can get away with a halfbreed of a halfling? It'd reduce the usual distinctions to make blending in a bit easier, but still coming with some of the intrigue both good and bad. Just a thought I was dabbling with while concepting characters.

EDIT: @percius388 I'm not Westwall but I feel like you could totally go full-on Loki with fully lifelike false projections. That could be very awesome.

EDIT 2: @WestWall I have a discord server I've extended to RPs before (pretty sure the one that's currently using it is dead anyway) so let me know if you want that. I have permissions systems set up so RPs get private rooms only visible to them, and GMs get moderator powers within their respective rooms (obviously this isn't the first time I've done this). Clearly this is loosely dependent on me getting thoroughly involved with this since it is my personal server, but I don't really see that being too much of an issue so I'm offering this service way early.
I'm still too self-conscious to properly pitch anything involving Lyra because as a character she is actually a textbook sadist. That's part of what makes her fun ... but am I mentally prepared to write that? Jury's out.
@Avant The gear-grinding is real. I, being as demanding as I am with partner prospecting, pretty much write off an int check if all it has is fandom or pairing lists. Give me plots, give me character profiles, give me something to work with that I can get interested in and invested into!
I promise I have a sheet coming semi-soon. I put too much time into that 'little' teaser to not commit. I'm just easily distracted.
@Mystery Bard Well if that's your metric then you're going to have a bad time. My stuff has sat for days before getting anything satisfactory. For what its worth this looked pretty interesting too, but its not my decision to pull the plug.
Are we talking a small ship or a big one? If I were to be interested in running a CAG (carrier air group) would that be a thing or is this smaller scale than that.
I've played one of these games. I'm willing to entertain this for some time, see where it goes.
