nice, im currently waiting for a answer from the captain. then ill be able to begin creating my character, i already have a pre made format for most guilds so im already 60 percent done XD
Well, we just finished a major arc like a week ago. The biggest/longest one we've done yet actually. The crew put a lot of time, effort and thought into making it work and I think it was pretty fun for the people who were in it. (Correct me if you didn't enjoy it; I won't be offended as long as it's constructive criticism smile ) So right now we're kind of having some down time while we put together what we want to do next. We're still active and throwing ideas around in the crew forum including the power rating system which is still in the works.
I like this crew. You've put up with me for an impressive amount of time! XD
Looking forward to the new power rating system as well. I just can't help but feel I should add too much detail to my characters until I know how it works...
How much have you figured or expect to figure about your character?
My extremely over-researched character? I think I have it all covered. Now, there are other characters that are newer and simpler. Those I don't know about because I'm not so good at writing very finite abilities for characters, I like the abstract, big ideas instead.
If you look closely. Particularly at the abilities section. 1) They are based on simple standards. But are all open for creative uses. 2) Provide just enough information as to what they are. But not how can they be used definitively. I also like to give some space for creativity. 3) The story always falls second to your character's set of abilities (I like to write my own story as my character grows with time. Like a diary. Keeps me busy) 4) They are not Partner reliant. Sure they have their skills But they must also have something to defend themselves should something happen and have no partner available or your partner abandons you in the middle of a mission.
Unlike some people I don't like the idea of a partner reliant character as your first character in a guild. Your first character (when you are exploring a type of character : 1rst meister 1rst witch 1rst weapon.) Must be able to be independent. Otherwise you run the risk of getting stuck with no partner. A Bad partner or an incompetent partner. This last one. Far from being an insult. Sometimes is a reality. I really don't get it why but some people exagerate the weakness of a character or like to play the frail "please support me sempai" uhg. I hate those. But if your character doesn't stand for himself. This partner who is supposed to be the tool or the extra power bust he's supposed to be would become a burden instead and can easily shut down the mood or the mission. That's why. Ever new member. Despite their rating. Must have an Independent character to begin with. Take it like... an easy to play role.
Partner reliant. Characters that need to be developed from scratch. The "kouhai" complex characters. Should be banned until the RPer has at least 1 character on a high /descent ranking becore pulling any character of this nature.
This would mean they already have an Idea of what are they doing. And since all the new participants have independent characters. It would be easier to carry them from the larvae to the fully developed character.
Huh. You know it's ok to brag, right? lol Be proud of yourself, I don't care. XD
Here is my main. You should probably only read the last post. I need to do some cleaning up, but I think I've done a good job with describing his fighting style at least. I have so much theory in the realm of martial arts it's scary, so I think I'll be able to call anyone out if they think they can just walk all over Illo in fisticuffs.
Well certainly you did. A little too good of a job to be honest. If I have to choose. I would say Illo is more of a Ranked character than Saint Clara.
For a profile. On my personal opinion the description of the ability shouldn't be more than 4-5 lines. 3 is just perfect. So that Anyone can see and understand what's the ability does. Even non ranked players. What you do is the next step. If the word Scientifically could be applied. Then you explain each skill your character has Scientifically granting a fan that allows you to moderate the impact your character can have on a match.
This, allows for nerfs and buffs. Which means Illo can be played in various Metas. And so, Illo is indeed a Ranked Character.
Sain Clara is pretty. But if you take the semi godmod spells she has. Then her set is pretty much awful. She has to be played or RPed as a Godly monster. So, to me she's more of a Boss fight character since she can't be used in various metas. Locking her in the position of the max authority or boss fight rather than an actual foe that can suppress (nerf) herself or outburst (buff) herself to adapt to various metas.
I'm not saying Saint Clara is bad. Just that in my opinion she's more of a boss battle like character. Or at least her set of skills tell me so.
To me, a ranked character is not based on his story (which is important to make a character well a character) but if looking into a more competitive scenario as to become a powerhouse or play maker. It is the set of skills/abilities he has and what does said set provides to the battlefield what makes him a ranked player. Also a ranked player should be able to play in metas.
This Metas are based on 1 on 1 battles. The number of posts would be doubled on team battles.

You expect me to trust that everyone automatically knows the complexities of the intercepting fist? I'm not buying it. I have this stubborn belief that says fighting is more than just turn-based punches and kicks until someone punches or kicks harder than the other guy, or uses a bigger laser than the other guy to win. If that's really how simple it is, Pokemon tactics really, then I've really overestimated roleplaying.
So, ability:
Martial Arts: Through the most rigorous training, Illo has gained knowledge of a vast variety of martial arts forms and has developed his own form of Jeet Kune Do. Illo cannot be surprised or otherwise overtaken directly in hand to hand combat
You can't tell me that gives you enough information on Illo's capabilities as a boxer...

i agree with this, being a boxer myself i doubt most peole can redict a punch they have not seen with there own eyes.
just be reasonable, can you block a persons attacks if you have never seen them before?
also i would like to fight your boxer.

Of course not. But if you really think Everyone's actually going to care about your character as to actually read all your research? I got bad news for you. I am not saying your efforts are wasted. It's just that not everyone is used to read that much. Or it's not actually worth reading it if you are first starter. If you have taken a look, the biggest group of rp ers active on gaia are newbies. Peorple that barely make it out with a line. Or just write 4-5 lines about people giving their first step. Not actual or educated role players. As such, a big chunk of information would either be scary as hell to read. They just want to rp, not take martial arts classes.
Again, I am Not saying your profile is useless. it's just not newbie friendly. I am also Not saying that you should get rid of it. On your main profile place as less information as possible. So that everyone can understand it. just so they know oh he has this kind of ability. And give a general description3-5 lines max. Give them time to read about the character and decide if they are interested or not in it. And for those lucky enough. On the next page (Check Alexandra's profile for an example) Then you add all your goodies. Post codes. Detailed information. That way you actually give newbies an opportunity to know your character. Take it as if you are writting a book.
The main profile should be like "Illo for dummies" So that even the dumbest people can understand what Illo is and what does he do. He punches things. No big science to it. Also a Meister that can get really powerful when using the third eye.
And the next page, should be "Illo for for advanced people" Illo is the Iron Phoenix. Who has been instructed in X martial art. As such the techniques of "X ability" This ability is based on the "X principle" of "Y martial art" and works this way.
"A ability" This ability is based on the "X principle" of which was intended to be used as a defensive/offensive mechanism.
My observation has nothing to do with people understanding the complexities of being a boxer. Neither it is to make them look less appealing.
I'm just saying he should had a profile made for newbies to understand and get used to Illo. While keeping his research on another page. Where people actually interested could take a look at it.

see that is logical and fare (:
i also think no character should have an ability or even have it written anywhere that he cant be overtaken in hand to hand -_- thats borderline god powers. and even shinigami lost once to hand to hand.
i think you have the idea for a strong character after watching lots of over powered anime characters, guilds are not like that and require the ability to be hit and to hit in detailed form.

oh i agree with you completely, i just misunderstood the context you used.

Yes, I got the feeling you misunderstood me after re-reading all my post and have not spot any critics on Corvo's rp skills with Illo. Taking your previous post. Yes no one shoul auto hit or auto dodge. That's why I put this suggestion at the end so that people start playing fairly if they ever want to be considered a ranked/rating champion/character.
The first level is for newbies. They need to understand there's more to it than just powers. Here they should face of with basic attacks mostly. See how fit they are. The use of environment tools is always encouraged as well as creativity.
Parting from there, the second level is for people that is ready to compete. and are allowed to use their strong techniques (soul resonance) but is limited to 1 so they should be careful to pick which one would they use and also how would they use it. Since we still encourage the exchange of basic attacks above skills.
And the third one is where people who showed to be promising understanding the basic rules of engagement; using the field to your advantage and not relying on skills but to use them wisely. Can finally have a serious match as they would be more responsible when using their skills that affect other users.

Funny, I've already started implementing a similar system into my regular posting. Whether you want to call it babbling or not, I like to think I'm being poetic, I came to the conclusion that it would expedient to explain myself in a spoiler section of my posts. If I just reverse the process, then I should have pretty much what you're talking about, wherein the simple version leads and the complex could stay neatly tucked away in another spoiler for those who want to know why a Hakuta punch is so devastating and how I would use it.
Right, so no one reads. I gather that. We're on the internet. I was writing in the details for the crew, but hey, why not dumb it down for the kiddies? Is that about it? How boring.

i also think no character should have an ability or even have it written anywhere that he cant be overtaken in hand to hand -_- thats borderline god powers. and even shinigami lost once to hand to hand.
i think you have the idea for a strong character after watching lots of over powered anime characters, guilds are not like that and require the ability to be hit and to hit in detailed form.
Ok, let me clarify. I'm not saying Illo can't be overtaken. That was a bad choice of words. I are not good at saying thing simple.
well can you tell us what you meant then?
take in mind your opening statement involved having a punch that was nearly impossible to block.
