Herculean Academy: Arc 1 - Welcome To The Academy

Sorry for the lack of posts on my end. It's been rather hectic at work lately and combine that with insomnia and well... I really wasnt able to bring myself to post. I will get a post done for atleast Mishka today, considering 3 characters are waiting on a reply.

Again, sorry about not posting :/

Herculean Academy: Arc 1 - Welcome To The Academy

-Anouk Dijkstra-

Aww hell yeah! This girl was gonna be an awesome friend! And the moment that Tabitha pointed to Anouk´s guitar she started almost beaming with joy. "Ofcourse-I-can-play-it!" she took a deep breath and seemed to calm down as she noticed it would have been getting quite annoying. "Want me to demonstrate it to you?" she said with a wide smile on her face.

As she was about to walk over to her guitar and give an awesome solo show she got interupted... It was this much hated sound... A harbinger of doom, the herald of the apocalypse... The school bell rung.

Anouk's face paled. Ooh shit, she was going to be late for her first class on this new school. And from what she heard of the teacher... Well, let's just say she has a great appetite.

Anouk looked over at Tabitha. "Euhm... Was that the bell? Please dont tell me that was the bell. I dont wanna end up becoming teacher food!" she exclaimed slightly panicked.

This day was already starting to become great, wasnt it?

I think he's probably going to be OK.

After all, if the physics prof (accidentally) dropped a car on a student's neck without allowing any response, that definitely would be a god-modding auto-hit and would have to be changed (or given special GM dispensation to ignore physics for the moment in order for the game to to be derailed by an unexpectedly dark twist).

...right? Please? If I knew that my speaking up would cause death I would have kept my mouth shut and my science to myself.

@DFTBA

Dont worry! :P

It was but a joke :P

Walp. RIP Graham.

@Ogobrogo

And it's the teacher's fault. Muhahahaha! >:P

Herculean Academy: Arc 1 - Welcome To The Academy

You said I shouldn't change the post?(considering the reasons that I should)

@Melkor

Well, you could possibly alter the ending that Mishka is no longer floating or anything like that, else we'll probably be stuck for atleast two posts with Mishka not being able to do anything except for floating and getting more upset... :P

If you want to alter the post then that's fine by me, no one responded to it yet anyway. But dont feel forced to do so, alright? :)

Herculean Academy: Arc 1 - Welcome To The Academy

I pretty much agree with DFTBA. Godmodding is basically performing actions without taking into consideration how someone else would react or ignoring basic things. Like you did 2 small cases of godmodding imo. One was lifting up Mishka without allowing me the opportunity to counter it and the other one was you overpowering Mishka and freeing Graham, again without allowing me to react.

Tbh I wouldnt have minded that much if you had informed me in advance. It are both really small examples and it's not like what just happened would have really ended in a different result. But there are some other problems I have with the post though...

One is that you lift a person. Not specifically Mishka but just being able to do that. For balancing I would preffer you wouldnt do that. Yes, technically the CS states that you can lift objects and technically people are objects. But lifting up people is kind of OP. As it renders Melee characters totally useless and gives them no way at all to fight you. We have already turned down several characters because of this power. We probably just missed it in your CS.

The other problem I have is that your character was able to overpower a character based on strength. Considering that your character already has a broad array of powers including air manipulation, levitation, flight and construct creation, having the ability to actually overpower strength based characters like you just did is abit much doncha think?

Sorry for the long reply, just some things I was thinking about. Also, this was not a rant. I'm not upset or anything but I'd like to appologise if I came across as aggressive or condesending, that was not my intention.

If you dont agree with the points I mentioned then please tell me. I'm not a totally unreasonable person... Not completely atleast :P

Edit: Also, I am not demanding for you to change the post. Just to take it into consideration in the futute :)

Herculean Academy: Arc 1 - Welcome To The Academy

Alright, I got one character's post up, the rest I'll do tomorrow. I'm really exhausted (This could be why the post might be abit too violent or something) and need to get up early tomorrow.

Cya guys tomorrow.

-Mishka Demidov-

Mishka continued grinning at the little guy as he was practically begging for his life. It was funny considering she had no intention of hurting him. Well, not physically atleast. She wasnt that mean. Atleast, not always. Wait, was he actually praying. Now that's just sad. Mishka looked around and saw that they were gathering a small crowd. What? Were they expecting a fight or something? She was not going to harm this little guy, she wasnt a schoolyard bully... The only thing she wanted from him was just an appology... Okay she might have been teasing him a tiny bit and-

Suddenly a loud crack was heard. Luckily for Graham Mishka wasnt phased at all by the loud noise. This meant that Graham would be able to pray to his gods another day.

Apparently the cause of the loud sound was a teacher, the teacher for Mishka's first class. He didnt seem to pleased with her holding Graham like this. He too thought that they were fighting. Mishka looked at him in a slightly disinterested fashion as she sighed, still lifting Graham. "I know that fighting is not allowed sir and so we are not fighting. I am just asking for an appology and decided to lift him up so we could talk face-to-face. Nothing wrong with that is the-"

This was ofcourse the moment where Graham decided to open his mouth and make a comment about Mishka's Russian roots. Now, dont get me wrong, Mishka was quite patriotic about her country. She was not ashamed to come from the Russian Motherland, infact, she was proud of it. But the way Graham replied made it almost sound like he was mocking her, mocking Mother Russia.

Even as Graham was claiming that he didnt mean it like that, Mishka just froze for a moment, almost as if she wasnt really able to process that comment. Her grip on Graham's head, which had been gentle up until now, tightened. After a few seconds she slowly turned her head to Graham, her eyes which were first filled with a mischievous shine were now hollow. If looks could kill, this one would have the effect of a tactical nuke.

She blinked several times and started grinning. This grin seemed far more sinister then the one she had before. "I beg your pardon?" was all she would say to him. Internally Mishka knew that this would not solve the problem. Hell, she knew she overreacted. But somehow she lost control over her actions.

And deep down, she kind of liked it too.
