Yes you can change it. Go to file>page set up>background color. I suggest using 1d1d1d as it's the guild background color.

@Fallenreaper

Everything was horrible! I was not prepared for that change.. Haha. Right fixed it.

*collapses from being connected to another thing* I know Hero and I have made a least one alien race which is connected to Rach and Gabe. So we have, which Heo's making notes on them and we are going to flesh them out later. Also, I have the lycan or whatever I'm going to call them started on a doc whose background is easier on my retinas! >_<

@Fallenreaper

Can you change the background?

Create-A-Hero: A Superhero RPG (Closed)

@VATROU It just occurred to me now, but do you think we should have a similar document for detailing extraterrestrial stuff like alien races and technologies?

@KaiserElectric

I suppose so. But I think I might drop that into a general Doc. For you know, more normal stuffs. Since there's only like a few RPers with Alien stuffs.

@Dedonus @Tearstone @Byrd Man @Gowi @Fallenreaper @Athinar @fdeviant @NeutralNexus @KaiserElectric

Right so. Here's a Link to the CAH Mystical lore Doc, I wasn't sure if we wanted a general Lore Doc or just for the Mystic stuffs. Although I'm think a general place might be overall better.

@Defacto Pretty much what Fallen said, although Merlin is one of the most Iconic Fictional Wizards of Literature, heavily tied to Aurthurian Legend. Mine is just a female version from another Earth.

@Defacto She's an Alternate Merlin, and kinda a Dick.

@Dedonus Also can you update the OP and remove any of Raptorman's lingering characters, as well as make sure everyone who's been accepted is in the list.

Do we have the concept of alternative reality?

@Defacto

Yes, there are a few, My Boar's Sin Merlin is from a Witcher like world where technology never advanced. A Medieval Earth, sadly it was destroyed.

Well I'll write up a GDoc and see how everything goes from there, I'll send out mass notifications here once I'm done.

But a game should be cohesive and consistent instead of flippant, don't you agree? If we keep retconning, ignoring, compromising-- what will happen is it will hurt the stability of the game.

@Gowi

It's five AM here, so I'm literally passing out after this post. I dunno, just woke up and felt hey I'll pop in. Anyways my thoughts on that way of thinking is.

We should keep interpretations of the rules as open as possible while still adhering to the nature of them. What I mean is, there can be hundreds of possible fire based spells for example. Those that shot cones, or lob grenades or rain fire. My point is these spells utilize fire and manipulates it.

This allows anyone to freely interpret Pyromancy as they like. However if someone tried to say, welp my fire spells also slow time or freeze people on impact just for the lolz, hurhur. That's not Pyromancy, that's something else entirely. But trying to pass a clearly different spell than those previous stated possible that's breaking the rules, ignoring the lore.

I'm fine with people mixing magic effects, but it needs to be clearly stated they are, and it can't come without some sort of cost.

My whole point is, keep the rules open but stay true to the nature of how the Magical World works. Don't let people resurrect the dead with the wave of a hand and have them totally fit back into society like living people again, and certainly don't let them use absurd magics that have nothing to do with Necromancy.

You understand why I was livid and stopped writing for the RP considering what I came back to (Demon Invasion, Alternate Universe versions of my characters, etc). I mean I see that I was a bit unfounded in some aspects, but I hope no one holds it against me that I felt like “what is the point when my stuff is ignored or retconned and I’m barely consulted”.

@Gowi

To be fair, I did consult you. And let you know I was going to make an Alternate Merlin, mostly because I wasn't sure how how long you'd stay active over here. The Demon Invasion thing though I honestly don't know enough of what you established before hand to make an opinion either way, nor do I think the guy who started the whole thing even knew you made Lore for things in the first place, So it just kinda happened. Still I am glad you're back mainly as you did create most of the foundations prior which I am using. Although there will be some differences as you said the Arcane Stream is the magical energy that lies between dimensional planes as a sort of “distortion” created. If kept unmonitored or uncontained it can cause massive rifts where a demon or eldritch horror can just walk out of their world and into ours.

So these beings obviously have ways into our world and ways to bypass even Merlin's protections. Not completely mind you, they can't just hop the express train to Earth and cause mayhem and destruction, but they can find ways to influence and or hop over if they have help. In my Merlin's case, she is one of the most powerful beings of her World, not the most powerful but up there with other Gods and such.

Still this is why I'm thinking of creating a Thread or GDoc like this, so everyone can have a say in how things work and we all know where to reference things. I'm not saying we should have super detailed systems in place, like for X magic to work you need Y of this and X amount of prep time and it's only effective on certain enemy types. But general rules and whatnot.
