_______________________________ANNOUNCEMENT:I owe the vast majority of you an apology. Last week, there was an incident where players had located a draft from my personal workshop thread and brought it to the attention of others in the Team Blackjack specific channel. This led to a dialogue with several players voicing opinions as to how I wrote not only my post but my character. Suffice it to say, I didn't appreciate the violation of privacy or unsolicited input. This was in addition to already having a hard time GMing after adjusting not only to a larger player base but unfortunately I knowingly took on a player that I historically do not get along with.
I'm not perfect, far from it. I let emotions get the better of me and thought I could migrate the issues by muting the general chats in the Discord and appearing offline so as to focus on the game solely from a GM perspective. Unfortunately, issues continued to boil up and I thought I would teach these alleged 'troublemakers' a lesson by laying a trap.
On May 8th, I posted the following draft to my workshop thread, full well knowing it was public:
This post was circulated, as was intended, through the targeted parties, discouraging several players from posting and ultimately leading to a player leaving. While in many ways this was a desired outcome, it was not the way to go about removing a player from the roleplay, nor the way to address when I have issues with players. By going about handling the situation in this manner, I no doubt off-put several players, and while several were in on the joke, many more were not.
In particular, I want to extend an apology to @Kuro, @Mao Mao, and @webboysurf whose characters were named in the 'draft' post.

The two married before Yuri was born and it was when Yuri was born that Denae passed away due to complications with the birth. Her dying wish was that Yuri be taken care of. During the entire incident, all she wanted was for Yuri to survive. A mother’s love. Han did the best he could to raise Yuri. It wasn’t until Yuri turned 18 that things changed. Han Choi, a man of extreme wealth, hailing from old money with deep roots, decided to enroll his son in various self-defense classes. Ninjutsu, Tai Chi, and Taekwondo were the main focuses. Yuri was only 8 when the classes started. He barely had any free time, but he often enjoyed spending any time he could with his father whenever the man wasn't away for business and he was left in the care of a relative. Nonetheless, his love for his father never waivered until his 18th birthday. Yuri's powers blossomed when he turned 18, and his father was shocked. Still, he didn't want his son to be discriminated against, so using his connections he found someone to teach Yuri how to control his power until he could make a decision. For a year Yuri met with his teacher in secret before Han Choi decided to send his son to PRCU and leave him in the care of H.E.L.P. in hopes that his son would grow to understand his abilities and hone them to remarkable levels. After witnessing his son’s power he knew without proper understanding, Yuri could cause chaos. He was aware of H.E.L.P. due to prior business with them. Thankfully he managed to get his son safely into the care of H.E.L.P. After Yuri was safely in PRCU, Han Choi went silent, but he left Yuri ways to communicate should he need to. One could call Han Choi an ally of the cause. Yuri arrived at PRCU at the age of 19 confused and shaken, with mixed emotions about his father. He understood the danger he could put others in, but he often wondered if there was a different way other than leaving him with strangers. What he vowed, after arriving at PRCU, was to focus, learn and understand, and to just have fun. ▅ A B I L I T I E S, L I M I T A T I O N S, & W E A K N E S S E S ▅ A B I L I T I E S, L I M I T A T I O N S, & W E A K N E S S E S ▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅ H Y P E R H U M A N A B I L I T Y || Atmokinesis __PRIMARY CLASSIFICATION || Exoteric __SECONDARY CLASSIFICATION || Elemental The HZEs within Yuri allow him to psychically control weather-based atmospheric phenomena. To break it down further, one with this ability can psychically generate clear skies, cloudy skies, winds, rain, fog, etc, at will. In addition, he can psychically generate wind storms, thunderstorms, tornadoes, hail storms, etc. This allows Yuri to fly due to the wind currents around him moving rapidly and supporting his weight at any given time. L I M I T A T I O N S || Area of Effect Yuri cannot generate atmospheric phenomena if the area affected does not have the necessary resources to produce the desired effect. In other words, if he is in a dry, hot area, it is nearly impossible for him to summon a rainstorm when there is no moisture present. The area of effect is also limited. It would completely drain Yuri to produce a storm the size of several states. Attempting to create a nationwide storm would result in hospitalization. One to three states are his limit so far. W E A K N E S S E S || Emotionally Unstable His true weakness is his emotions. Because of the intensity and violent nature of his power, he must always maintain his emotions. Even when utilizing his gift, Yuri cannot afford to lose control. If he loses control, the phenomena he created can run chaotic and it becomes extremely difficult, almost impossible to regain control of the phenomena because nature is so unpredictable, ________________________________________________________________________________________ |
