#BlackLivesMatter
Roleplay Availability
Roleplay Type(s)
Alright, listen up maggots! A lot has happened since this roleplay started over a year ago. Characters have grown and developed, and we've changed profiles a few times.... you see where I'm going with this, right?

Yup.

I revised the profile layout again.

LASTNAME, FIRSTINITIAL (ex: SMITH, B.)

List of changes
  • "Composure" has been added as a seventh stat to the Heroism Statistics, formerly known as the Heroism Meter. Composure is a character's ability to stay calm during stressful situations. Low composure indicates someone who panics easily, high composure indicates someone who can keep control of their fear during an emergency.
  • The tickers for the stats have been changed. I've included both the filled-in box and the blank box.
  • The Skills tab has been revised to include both skills and flaws. Flaws include things your character sucks at, any disabilities or debilitating fears your character has, and also additional information on negative character traits such as "overdue for an AA intervention" or "habitual cheater".
  • The Augmentations tab has been renamed to Tools & Weapons. This tab is still used for listing augmentations, but now it is also used for noting small details like "this character has an assault rifle with them" or "they have a wheelchair".

Do I have to do this...?

Technically, no. However, only people who post their updated profile in this thread for re-approval will be allowed to post in Episode 5. So, you know, it's a thing that you might want to do if you want to continue being part of the roleplay.

Doesn't the Character Committee have to go through all of these profiles?

Nope! I am abolishing the CC for the sake of speed and efficiency (more details on that later). Everyone posts their updated character profiles in this thread. The revised profile is considered approved when three other RPers respond to your post with "I approve" and have no further suggestions to make.

When will Episode 5 be ready?

Check the timer!

List a neutral personality trait, and a short description (no more than five sentences) of how your character displays this trait.

[B]History[/B]
A concise summary of your character's backstory; ideally focusing on things like how they came into their powers, how their powers have affected their life, why they are attending or are employed at Facility 108 (the Baltimore location, as opposed to some other location), and recent life events.[/Tab]

[Tab=Relationships][B]Other Character's Name[/B]
Description of relationship with said character[/Tab]

[Tab=Superpower][B]Primary Power[/B]
Your characters primary power. If it cannot be described in two short paragraphs, or without linking to the superpower wiki, or without referencing a copyrighted character, it is not simple enough to be acceptable for this roleplay. The best powers for this story are those that can be explained in layman's terms and follow an internally consistent set of rules and limitation.

[LIST]
[*][B]Supporting Power[/B]: Your character may have up to two sub-powers if needed. They are not required, especially if the character already has simple and straightforward powers.

[*][B]Supporting Power[/B]: These powers are passive abilities that supplement the main power - for example, an elemental character being immune to their own element. These abilities must be related to and support the main power.
[/LIST]

[B]Limitations[/B]
List and describe at [I]least[/I] three limits of your character's power, including any 'rules' it follows, such as being ineffective on certain targets or past a certain distance. Use bullet points to keep each limitation clearly separate and organized. Remember, it's just as important to know where a power ends as well as where it begins. You may add as many limitations as you like, but you must not have less than three. [I]Limitations not related to your character's superpower belong in the Skills and Flaws section.[/I]

[LIST]
[*][B]Limit[/B]: Explanation

[*][B]Limit[/B]: Explanation

[*][B]Limit[/B]: Explanation
[/LIST]
[/Tab]

[Tab=Skills and Flaws]A list of non-superpower (mundane) skills and flaws that your character has. Mundane skills include knowledge such as first-aid training, cooking, paleontology, etc. Mundane flaws include physical disabilities, or expanded information on negative personality traits such as gullibility, clumsiness, vanity, etc.

Keep in mind that your character's superpowers might affect some of their normal skills, for example, we all expect hyper-intelligent supers to have more knowledge-related skills in this list than the average character. However, these skills and flaws should all be things that your character could lose their powers, and still retain.

All characters should have at least two skills and two flaws.

[Tab=Tools & Weapons]Formerly known as the Augmentations tab, it has now been renamed to Tools and Weapons, and will contain exactly what it says - a running list of tools or weapons that your character carries on them and uses along with/instead of superpowers.

[B]Item[/B]: [[I]Augmentation/Tool/Weapon[/I]] Description

[B]Item[/B]: [[I]Augmentation/Tool/Weapon[/I]] Description

[B]Item[/B]: [[I]Augmentation/Tool/Weapon[/I]] Description[/Tab]

[Tab=Gallery]Although there is now a spot for a character image (since most of you have one), the Gallery tab remains as an area for you to post additional images, theme songs, and so on.[/Tab][/Tabs][/column][/row][/row]

The Oldest Blueberry The Oldest Blueberry The fuck does Larry shoot kneecaps and elbows with if he ain't got a gun?[/QUOTE]
Blue screen of death, of course, duh.

Anyways, I'll get to potentially commenting on characters and posting my own sometime later.
 
You baka. You missed the "but when armed" part. As in, he doesn't carry a gun around because his overseers got tired of him shooting everyone in their joints first, and asking questions later.
how fucking dare you call me a baka, baka
 
Note: Two of the biggest questions/debates are thus

1.) How should damage transfer work on an inanimate object. Say she turns into a pot of boiling water and someone dumps out the water. Does she lose blood when she changes back? Are the handles her arms? I'm not a 100% sure how to work this and suggestions would be nice. Otherwise I can take my 100 form list (which isn't linked on purpose so that the general public gets fun surprises with random transformations too), and I can remove inanimate objects to be replaced with more living things.

2.) How should stats work for her? The power stats shown are purely human form. Clearly if she turned into a dragon fly her agility would jump, and a phoenix would have an energy stat of some kind. Each form would have varying stats. How should this work?

Never did because the CC was supposed to discuss. No idea what to have her at.
Well, we can discuss that in this thread. I still think she should be a C, because she only has a limited number of forms.
 
Would this limit the stats of other forms?

Would I need to increase her human stats?
You do need to increase her human stats, and yes, it sets an upper limit on her other forms. That being said, I think we can be a bit flexible - Gus Gus is the best person to talk to about fluctuating stats.

I can't go up any further in our conversation in discord to reassess the stats or find them elsewhere. I am dumb, please remind me the numbers for a C?

Fluctuating stats should be easy enough except for a very few select forms which should have I'd say B if not A stats.

Also, should I abolish my inanimate/plant forms?

Damn you for making me update profiles from the phone, making me spend time dealing with code I accidentally broke from here : V
The weekend you decide to do things, is the weekend I picked to travel :P
Kidding, ILY and AEGIS, otherwise I would have waited till Monday~

Natealie Natealie I don't see anything wrong with Nix, also excited to see him in action. I approve of your CS as well!

The Oldest Blueberry The Oldest Blueberry , I also re-approve of Larry? Am I right, is this a thing I should be doing? *confused*
(Do you need help fixing that code?)

Ta-Da!!

...If that was what you were looking for, because if it's some stats setup you two did, then only weli can help you~
 
1.) How should damage transfer work on an inanimate object. Say she turns into a pot of boiling water and someone dumps out the water. Does she lose blood when she changes back? Are the handles her arms? I'm not a 100% sure how to work this and suggestions would be nice. Otherwise I can take my 100 form list (which isn't linked on purpose so that the general public gets fun surprises with random transformations too), and I can remove inanimate objects to be replaced with more living things.
I don't know how to solve this fully but I have a couple points to make:

a) First, I don't think you should take the inanimate and plant forms from the concept because that's what makes it more unique. Lioness has and character planned that is a sole Animal shapeshifter, and I love that you took Melody's power with a more abrangent concept. IMO you should keep it.

b) Now, I would refrain from doing the whole pot with boiling water thing, because that's shifting into two different materials at once, plus with an elevated state of energy (higher temperature. Where did that energy come from?). I'm thrown back to superfriends where they had those shapeshifting twins. One would become let's say the bucket and the other would become the water, never the two things at once for a same person.
So I would separate things. Either she becomes the pot and someone has to fill it with water and heat it, or she becomes all water. Never the two.

And... Maybe she refrains from shifting back if the handle isn't at least being held in place? (Would she even be able to come back?!)
That would be more a thing for thought rather than a formed idea. But that could clear up...stuff?
If a piece is missing, she shouldn't turn back because, well, her own mass would be missing and it could result in death!
Which means that if she was a glass cup and it shattered all across a room, it would probably be her end unless we could find all of the more important and chunky pieces... D :

But yeah, just some food for thought!

Also, sorry for the triple post XD

Started on CSs... for the seventh time. :P

0.2 down, 5.8 to go.

It occurs to me that "Race" might be better as "Heritage".

Lucas is French Canadian, which doesn't seem to fit anywhere else, but doesn't seem to fit the idea of 'race' either...

(I think that is probably because 'race' is a poorly defined concept.)

What do people think about heritage as a label for broad category of familial descent? Race seems... ...racist?
