Hey everyone. I just came back after taking some time off this site (things have changed a bit lol), and I'm still not sure if I have the time and will to start an actual roleplay yet.
Howeeeeever I still like to keep developing my OCs in my free time (I have an ever growing list doc file), and...
Maybe check out Princess: the Hopeful?
It's a fan made set of rules for World of Darkness centered on magical girls.
The combat system is pretty complicated, but it might help you get some inspiration.
(The lore is also interesting on its own).
There's a wiki for it, it's easy to find.
I think you should be careful though.
Putting a little bit of yourself in your OCs is normal, as is getting emotionally involved in their stories (it happens to me as well).
But I suggest you always keep in mind the difference between yourself and your characters.
Sometimes characters can...
I think school rps are popular because as you said they can include a wide range of characters, almost everyone has a character that can fit in a school setting.
Schools are also important social places, so introducing characters is easy, and can lead to intwresting interactions and drama...
By situation I meant the context the weapons you listed are used.
If you bring a rapier against a heavy armored soldier then yes, you may wanna pick a different weapon, but if the rp is about duelling then it's as a good a choice as any.
Plus in all honesty you made a list of very common...
Some people in this thread talk like either you make your characters overpowered edgy powers OR you are ocd realistic.
But hey, many roleplayers actually enjoy giving their characters cool looking powers without making them destroy a city everytime they sneeze.
I think it would fall in all three categories, so it would be up to you where to post it.
I personally would post it in fantasy, but I think it would fit the others as well.
(Also, category is spelled without an 'h' x3)
Let's see, I haven't been on here long enough to know anyone very well, BUT, there is one person that I can show my love to: @Lance Von Alden, the bestest person in the whole universe!
Or if not immune (which would be a bit op in my opinion), at least I would assume that the user has trained to manipulate his element without hurting himself (ex. Not letting the fire touch his skin).
1) What is justice to you?
Giving everyone the same opportunities.
2) What is victory to you?
Accomplishing something without hurting anyone in the process.
3) You are a hero. A villain you were fighting has trapped in separate rooms a child, an elderly, a war veteran, a fellow superhero with...
Woah! OK let's see.
1) The year would be about 2200.
2) I have never really thought about this but I'd say yeah they exist and are still popular.
3) Probably not. Weapon manufacturers have come up with new designs and technologies.
4) It would be a small and light weapon, probably an SMG...
I can totally see the usefulness of shock ammo, but the thing is, I'm kinda ocd when it comes to my character's themes ^^', it's weird I know.
However multiple ammo types isn't a bad idea, maybe soaking ammo, cryo ammo and psychic empowered ammo.
