Current I think watching fight scenes can help in general terms with writing combat, since it can give you an idea of flow and choreography.

At least if you're writing something you know, with knights.

I mean, depends on what you're writing, and the tone and theme of what you're writing. Trained armored knights were legitimately monstrous on the battlefield, so looking up how they fought helps.

As much as there's a lot of reasons twitter sucks, I genuinely don't want to see it die for the sake of all the artists who now rely on it. Hoping the shithead stops trying to directly administrate.

roleplayerguild.com/posts/5… If anyone's up for fighting some kaiju, why not try out my new RP, Godzilla: YATAGARUSU?

I'm perfectly willing to supply an explanation for why those characters were accepted when asked, so hopefully it won't be of further concern. I'm going to try and do something about the bios today, as well. I'm also going to try and look over my options for co-GM's, which isn't just the people who have offered since I've been considering approaching some people so it may take a bit.
All the conversation on these abilities is in the signups, if you want to actually read them you can look there. In fact, I could call for the posts to be ported into the bios posted there but I didn't see that as necessary provided my players remembered they took part in those discussions. I also believe that the GM's word(and possibly links to the posts in question if it's really THAT much of an issue) should be enough to make players realize that all is well with the characters in question and their potential choices will be judged on the same criteria, barring very specific powers I refuse to accept. Just because each post as not ported into the signups tab does not mean these posts somehow do not exist, and I believe I should trust my players to honor these agreements. Flamelord and Dead Cruiser have so far. I have also addressed why I am taking so long with approving bios and I have mentioned potentially seeking a co-GM to alleviate this fact, though I am not completely sure where to begin with doing so.
@Prostagma: The motivation is not the entire organization's motivation. The Leader's motivation is deliberately a secret, because her goal isn't even what she says it is. Motivation is quite frankly something assigned to the other characters for joining the organization. They all have their own reasons. Though when it comes down to it, I believe I mentioned early on that the excuse is the UMMA restricts their activities in the multiverse. I am also attempting to end combat fairly soon, so I seriously doubt it will kill the RP somehow. As for the UMMA, it's established in the first post that the only approach universes aware of the multiverse, and they only become "client" universes by their consent. They only interfere in non-multiverse-aware worlds if a multiversal threat attacks that world. I'm honestly not sure what making them morally grey and ambiguous would do for the RP if I even wanted to do it. I mean, the non-combat stuff I was already considering was(for the UMMA) checking up on Client Worlds, trying to figure out what Shadow Eternity is doing, socializing... I'm not really sure how making the UMMA morally grey and ambiguous would change this. I would also like to think that characters would be played in intelligent ways that defuse random pointless fights. However, I was considering more factions. I was originally going to put them in the OP, but I was worried it would draw too much away from the two main ones while also overcomplicating things. @FacePunch/Incrediblebee: I apologize for the signup wait. I'm a very indecisive person and I tend to take longer on high-power bios when I try to work out if there's something I should suggest. This leads to other bios posted after that one taking longer to be approved because I don't like leaving bios completely unaddressed when I make a post in the signups. I may potentially be selecting a co-GM. @Zero Hex: You obviously haven't read the discussions I've had pertaining these characters. I made Dead Cruiser define each of his character's abilities as well as ensure the mecha would not become involved unless it was absolutely warranted. Similarly, for Nono, she's "nerfed" in that any of her very powerful abilities could cause mass civilian casualities and as such are out of the question unless there's no chance of civilian deaths resulting from them. Other powerful characters are, well, powerful, yes, but I do not feel they reach any unacceptable extremes. Which is why they were accepted. Ideally this RP is made to accommodate a very wide range of power levels, and therefore I am doing my best to accommodate both low power and high power characters, as well as everything in between. @Earnest Evans: From all my experiences this never, ever turns out well and often turns into a drama-filled mess. Players can already voice their concerns and if I find them to be legitimate I will take them into account.
@Prostagma: Um, her choice. ^^; Shadow Eternity's official motivation is to take down the UMMA and destroy their influence across the multiverse, so they do have one that's not just "evil". ... When the Leader's actual motivation comes out I imagine there WILL be a lot of splitting and chaos on their end though. Which should be fun. The UMMA's meant to be fairly clear-cut, though. Not that there's not going to potentially be bad people trying to game the system in it or something like that. But as a whole it's intended to be fairly straightforward. Still, I do think there's potential for non-combat stuff, which I think is helped by the factionless characters.
Sorry. ^^; I am very open to arc suggestions though.
I very much want to avoid time travel overall for this RP. ^^; Insofar as it occurring in the RP, I mean. Time travel can very quickly become a mess in RP's.
Well, I'm certainly not planning on making everything action-based. I guess I'd have to know what an arc like that would entail, really. For the moment I'm holding out on IC ways to wrap up the current conflicts. ^^;
I don't know how it would work since I've never seen it. ^^;
... Gaah I'm sorry. College started I was working on my other RP um... I'm really sorry.
It's fine with me.
