The Holy Ghost: He has the ability to make his spirit divine and separate it from his body in a way very similar to astral projecting, but unlike basic astral projection his Holy Ghost can act and be seen on the physical plain. Also his body remains conscious and Michael's mind is able to control both simultaneously. While in his Holy Ghost, Michael is able to see the auras of beings, Animals are gray, evil beings are red and black, good beings are white and gold. His holy ghost can stretch great lengths and ensnare enemies. His touch can also give an intense burning pain to enemies as well as emotionally and spiritually heal his allies. The divine spirit is can never be permanently destroyed and even when it is blow to bits it will reform back in his body.

Strengths/Weaknesses: His holy ghost is strong, but his normal body is still as vulnerable as any normal human. He is very knowledgeable in theology and medieval artwork and literature.

When the battle concluded, Baal looked at his temporary allies unimpressed with their efforts to bring down the Warden, foolish mortals, always choosing the brutish way fighting a battle he thought to himself and followed the others to the submarine that Mr. Sinister had sent for them. Once in the underwater vehicle, Baal kept to himself and communicated telepathically with the high priests of his cult. They were glad to have finally made contact with him and inquired about what had happened. Baal just told them that he would inform them about his imprisonment later and ended his communication.

After a while the submarine stopped and Baal himself in Brigeport and followed the butler to a warehouse. He wondered why he hadn't just vanished and left the group behind, but he was now curious to find out who their savior was and if he was nothing more than a mortal worm. Once in the warehouse the butler introduced himself as Jenkins and explained how they were in one of the many places owned by the mysterious villain. Then the butler explained the nanites in their bodies that could kill at any moments notice. Baal was not very impressed with this fool's dependence on technology and asked the butler a question.

"please answer me this, how do you or your master know that my magic can't suck the power out these tiny machines? I could drive you both insane before you make them kill" he spoke to the butler as his eyes under his hood glowed an evil red. Baal was looking for a weakness in this man and his master's resolve, he would try to do whatever he could to manipulate this savior of theirs and have him grovel at his feet.

Let's B!tch. I feel it's a healthy release for our roleplay annoyances 2.0

@Weird Tales @Mr Allen J @Strawberry425
I'm a heterosexual male, however I play a fair few female characters. I do this because I find it more fun than trying to be that typical butch male character. Something I do however is make all my female characters lesbian, but I never really announce it.

Why? Well because it's a good way to fuck around with other players.

One example of this was an rp that I had with a few friends and one guy in particular think he's gods gift and always makes these over sexualised characters. So he created a female character and made her as slutty as could be and tried to hit on various males... So me with my character decide to go up to him and I hit on him instead.

Man, the drama I created in the OOC was fucken hilarious! He was actually uncomfortable with it and when I threatened to have my male character hit on his male character in another role play he pretty much broke down and cried.

@NuttsnBolts

I don't make sexual characters, not because of gender issues like social justice warriors scream and cry about, it's just not my thing, but I don't care if other people do it. I'll admit that I have been tempted to make my religious characters troll the atheist characters, but I reframe from doing that.

I understand your reasons, but it still is trolling man. Also the term butch is more used for lesbians. Macho is the proper term for a highly masculine man, which I tend to play a lot.

The fight going on in front looked to be going good, but then it appeared that the robot warden could revive himself thanks to tinier little robots that repaired his body. Baal decided that they would also need his assistance in this battle and he reached down inside of himself to find the power for a spell. That was when something appeared to make Craftchenco freeze up for a moment and then the robot went a total warpath to try and kill them and fired off missiles and other projectiles straight at them. Baal went on the defense and cast his shielding spell.

"Shield of Insidiousness" he said clearly and a barrier of writhing and snarling demonic entities formed around him and took the brunt of most of the raging robot's attacks. Once he was protected, Baal then used another spell and since his options were limited thanks to his current power level and the fact that they were fighting a robot.

"Demonic Force!" he shouted and then shoved out his palm in the direction of Craftchenco. Almost immediately the robot would be hit by an insanely powerful invisible wave of force that was strong enough to shatter thick concrete. For the sake of his temporary allies still trying to fight the metal beast at close distance, he tried to keep his centered on the part of the robot that wasn't being attacked, but there was chance that they could be potentially crushed by the wave of force.

<Snipped quote by Mr Allen J>

I think my big beef right now, to be more specific, is character and plot depth. I've never really been a big supporter of the length standard. Depth is what matters to me, and it's so very frustrating to see players who write without depth now joining Advanced in such high numbers. And sure, I'm sure some of them actually are totally willing to improve and learn and will probably make awesome, thoughtful, writers someday. But there's a whole other hoard of them that believe they've reached the pinnacle of perfection, and having to deal with those people is frustrating. Never mind the fact that these people will bring in, er, similar allies to help them in their quest to eliminate what I think is a critical part of Advanced roleplaying. I am just very frustrated with this right now....

On another note, I have another, more personal, rant, but this one goes in hiders.

A very queer rant.

As a bisexual woman, I'm sure I know what some people would call me. Like, I would probably get some pretty horrible names.

I like to RP bisexual women, heterosexual women, and heterosexual men. I feel like I can connect with all of those.

But I've seen people wield my sexuality in that really...cliche way. The sexually insatiable bisexual woman that's pining for attention from every sexually active character within the vicinity...I have seen that in copious amounts on tumblr, in movies, and even here on Guild. It's annoying and saddening, and its bothering me beyond anything, because whenever I see it...I don't even know what to do. How do you confront someone and say, "I know you're faking it because you're creating the exact definition of a bisexual cliche?" when they can just retort "Wow you're so presumptuous and elitist, how do you know I'm not bisexual?" And the answer is, I don't definitively know, but god, the cliche is a pretty fine indicator of you not being a bisexual.

And its so, so, so frustrating to write a bisexual character without feeling like someone is going to mischaracterize them as extra "slutty" and supermodel attractive, when really, I like modest characters in general, because I am not this big sexual thing. I'll make dumb pervy jokes, and I'll love those jokes, but I myself am not this hypersexual, insatiable being that can't keep her hands to herself, or has super seductive powers. I'm not a cheater. And to be frank, I'm very happy with who I am, and the way I live my life, and I know lots of other bi women live similar lives and feel similarly hurt by these poor portrayals of our community, and specifically, our women.

It's just really saddening to see writers of our generation, who are supposed to be some of the most progressive people in this world, write characters in a most shitty way and misrepresent my people so greatly.

My other rant is pertaining to general queer characters.

I'm glad to say I saw a Casual RP that revolved around queer characters, but disappointed to see that the GM said something relatively biphobic, even if his or her intentions were not so. The only thing is I believe this, just like the queer pushing agenda on tumblr, will only serve to solidify the idea that there are too many differences between queers themselves and queers and straights for them all get along.

And I'd be really happy if people did like I did and utilized their queer characters in regular roleplays with other straight characters. What I don't like is that there are a few instances where I've seen a homosexual person come in and create a gay or lesbian character that is borderline sexist. I find that to be disgusting, but like I said, I've only seen a few instances of that. Either way, it would be nice to see a more realistic mixing of sexualities, instead of these big dividers...

@Strawberry425

well at least you know how I feel when so many rpers make fathers look bad with their characters' back story. I'm a big father's rights activists and find some characters very anti father, but at the end of the day it's all fiction and most people use cliches in writing characters, like how many anti religion characters are made in the rp. People are going to write however they're going to write and it's up the DM to decide what's fine and what's not. Writing is a form of art and never should be censored or given specific morals.

I'm catholic and I don't like seeing christian stereotypes used to make religion bad, but I have to deal with it since I don't control how people feel and want to write.

what are your rules on Demi-Titans?

Also would you be alright with children of a monotheist god?
