CRYSALIDIUM OOC: 11/?? SLOTS FILLED, 6/8 TROLLS, 4/8 HUMANS ((freeform))

[Catmaniac8x]

Check it out! HEROMODE TWITCH..or a slightly more detailed drawing with arms, and a bit clearer version of what he looks like

putting it in a Spoiler it might be a page stretcher

show spoiler

hide spoiler

So basically, what the sprite didn't show was that Twitch has gloves..like welding gloves..that he constantly wears (and kinda a shoutout to how he used to be a tuxedo cat with the white-tipped paws)

And also how that when he puts his goggles on, they start glowing (for stylized purposes I'm sure they don't really glow) and SHIT.GETS.SERIOUS

He just feels more confident while doing his job, or fighting, and just goes bezerk when he starts fighting, just having a great time.
As such, his strife music is probably going to be some slowish tempo western standoff type thing with his specific instruments (maybe that kind of version of what his theme ends up being) and then it starts building up a bit as he grabs his goggles. Putting them over his eyes would probably just put the song to a baseline, then stops for a moment at his grin..then BAMBAMBAMBAM HAMMER SMASHING TIME WITH A CRAZY FAST TEMPO WITH LIKE CRAZY FREEZEFRAME SHOTS OF HIM IN MIDAIR JUST WRECKING ALL OF THE IMP'S SHIT AND-

..sorry got ahead of myself...gonna have to make his THEME first before I can do a stylized version of it that just escalates into a clusterfuck...by the way I made his Land theme already http://cm8x-insanity.tumblr.com/post...-starting-up-i

..I'm sure that's not the correct way to dual-wield sledgehammers but I'll fix that when I make him fight for real.

Okay so I’m going to expand a bit upon the role and abilities of a Seer of Heart.
First off, both Abstracted and MQuinny are right; both personality and class affect the aspect.
_ _ _ _

So, in this instance:
- A Seer of Heart does not look inwards at how personality and sociality affects one’s own actions. Instead a Seer looks outwards to see how it affects the actions of those around one.

- A Seer of Heart has the ability to “see” or “know” the ‘important’ relationships an entity has as soon as the Seer meets them.
e.g. The Seer learns of the Black Queen from their sprite. They later meet Jack Noir, as soon as they meet him they “know” that he wholly hates the Black Queen. However if they met Noir first the Seer would not “know” that he hates the Black Queen until the Seer learned of her existence.

- Once a Seer gets to grips with that ability, depends on how the Seer works as to the time taken, the Seer starts to “know” the ‘lesser’ relationships.
e.g. The Seer meets two consorts who are friendly two each other, separately. Once the Seer has met them both the Seer will “know” that they like each other. The Seer would also “know” that both of them dislike Dersite agents.

- These two abilities are held together by the Seer’s ability to constantly “remember” these relationships, allowing instantaneous “recall”.
Note: These three abilities in themselves aren’t particularly amazing. Any socialite worth their salt will already be able to “do” all three.

- As the Seer grows in competence and power more abilities become “uncovered” or revealed.

- Next a Seer of Heart comes to “know” how these relationships affect the person’s behaviour and how the relationships interact with each other.
e.g. The Seer would “know” that Jack’s hatred results in veiled hostility towards the Black Queen. They would “know” that the Consorts, though they dislike Dersite agents, would not normally attack them.

- Eventually the Seer gains the ability to “know” if someone has a relationship with someone the Seer has not yet found out about or met yet.
e.g. Once the Seer meets Jack Noir, they would “know” that he is friends with someone. They would not however “know” that it was Draconian Dignitary until they met him.
Note: This is more often on the lines of a “gut feeling” that proper “knowledge”.

- Lastly a Seer may gain the ability to “know” how individuals may act according to certain actions of the Seer. This ability is rare, difficult and not entirely accurate though.

Of course just because a Seer of Heart “knows” all of these relationships, the results of them and how they affect others does not mean that they can take the knowledge further. The ability stops there.
It is then up to the Seer to use their own skills and initiative to put the “knowledge” to use.
This means the Seer could just be an info bank.
A good Seer has to be able to understand what they have learned.
Or the Seer could take the extra mile and use their knowledge to become a “diplomat” or “agent” in order to manipulate people for their advantage.
Last examples:
- A good Seer, understanding that Noir’s hatred of the Black Queen results in veiled hostility, would use this information to manipulate Noir into switching sides so that the Seer had a valuable ally against the Black Queen.

- A good Seer, understanding the extent to which the consorts dislike of Dersite agents affects their actions, would realise that consorts could not be used to counter these agents but could be used to follow the agents and keep track of their actions.

Any questions, queries, problems or ideas?

[ZDG]

That's kinda... Extremely developed, but it sounds fine.

I was thinking of giving slow-acting mending/poisoning powers to Estudi (as she's maid of blood, heal wounds or poison them, but it's mostly latent).

[forkinyoureye]

Already said that Mage of Shade would be a nuker (High-damage AoE attacks). Obviously to counterbalance that he's shitty at close combat, so a glass cannon.

[Voidwolf]

Is there a problem with extremely developed?
It's just an idea for now.

[forkinyoureye]

Alright, here's the results of my rework of Terry.

Title-- Mage of Shade
Name-- Terry Woods
Symbol-- Black sun
Fetch modus-- Void modus
Dreams on-- Derse
Land-- Land of Brilliance and Reflections
Strife deck-- soundKind
Bio-- You've always been a bit of a weirdo. You've been really into horror, dark fantasy, and the like for pretty much as long as you can remember. Your favorite kind of story is one where the main character is completely helpless against whatever eldritch horror is opposing him. Whether you prefer when he wins anyway or not is up in the air, but you know which you'd rather a part of. You see darkness everywhere, and sometimes you feel a part of it. You don't know if you like that or not. At other times, you try to stay away from the darkness, driving it off by any means possible, to the point where you've been unwilling to leave your room, with every light on 24/7. You feel that soon, you'll have to decide one way or the other, but which you'll pick, you don't know...
You distract yourself from the upcoming choice by acting like nothing's ever wrong, and writing cheery fanfiction of positive media. However, you always type in a manner that is generally seen as concurrent with the dark forces in horror, because you don't want to forget altogether.
You also have a bit of a flair for the dramatic, and enjoy describing things as though the fate of the world hinges on them, even if they're completely unimportant.
Your chumhandle is gravenStalker and you speak in a complete monotone with a BIt oF dIstORtiOn

[MQuinny1234]

I like him.

He's almost certainly going to go grimdark at some point and try to kill someone but up to that, neat.

[Voidwolf]

I'm curious as to how this Void modus works.

[AbsolutlyAngelic]

I'd imagine it'd be hard to find things using that modus

[MQuinny1234]

Probably be fantastic for a seer of void though.

[forkinyoureye]

Probably be fantastic for a seer of void though.

Where do you think I got the idea? I play Regeni Pluvia in that.

[MQuinny1234]

I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT IS.

Why the heck are there so many HUGE threads dedicated to creating a character, and then so many threads that are simply about them and, and, and...

*Starts crying with frustration*

I just want to know how to make those damn expression sprite things they have at the trollslum cafe, is that too much to ask?

[RyokoUri]

Title-- Sylph of Time
Name-- Lucy Barker
Symbol--
Fetch modus-- Insult Modus
Dreams on-- Prospit
Land-- Land of Swing and Stars [LOSAS]
Strife deck-- BatKind
Bio--
Your name is LUCY BARKER and you have basically NO FRIENDS.

This is not by choice, but people of your age seem to be UTTERLY REPELLED by you. You are NOT FINE WITH THIS. In fact it really bothers you! This doesn't mean you're going to change your INTERESTS because of this. Your interests include a variety of things. You enjoy TERRIBLE SCIENCE FICTION FILMS, as well as really good ones. Because of your interests in ALIENS and OUTER SPACE you aspire to be an ASTRONAUT. However you're too much of a coward and will likely end up as an ASTRONOMER like your sis. Which is alright with you! Your sis is a really CLASSY DAME. Speaking of dames, you have a fascination with a certain TIME PERIOD. The roaring 20s! You think it'd be SUPER NEAT to be one of the dames on HANDSOME AND DARING GANGSTERS. Oh wow! That'd be the bee's knees!

Back to how FRIENDLESS you are. It's probably because you're also clueless when it comes to SOCIAL SITUATIONS. You have a knack for saying the wrong things at the worst times. This is why you have turned to the INTERNET to find friend you'll likely NEVER SEE. This means that you'll never get hurt. Right? Right?

You use INSULT MODUS, and at this point you're not exactly sure why. You're not very good at insults so you have a lot of things piling up in there all the time. Occasionally when you're practicing your GANGSTER LINGO items fall out. Never the less it's a real strife to get things out.

Your chumhandle is galacticGangster and you talk like one real happening broad, yah know? That's a smiley face.

[abstractedPatcher]

I don't see anything wrong with detailing a character's abilities; it might give those with the same class or aspect ideas, and if not, it can't hurt to know what people are capable of. And seeing as I'm playing a Seer too, I can understand how a Seer of an abstract-ish aspect needs a bit of thought figuring out how they work. ("Comprehensive understanding of hope, how does it work?" That's something I'm working on.)

Also, new entry! Welcome, Ryoko. (is it ok to call you that?) If you have a Skype account, post it here; there's a group where we're discussing ideas and several spots where plot ideas and character info are getting stored. Join in and help us build stuff!

[Tac]

If it's not too late to join...

Title-- Heir of Mind
Name-- Tybarr Harlet
Symbol-- Uranus
Fetch Modus-- Code
Moon-- Prospit
Land-- Land of Concrete and Ruin (LOCAR)
Strife Deck-- Bladekind
Bio--
Your name is TYBARR HARLET and you are CHILL AS FUCK.

You have a RELAXED ATTITUDE about almost EVERYTHING. You are also a very CARING person, which is ODD for a troll. You are an AWESOME CODER, but choose not to use your skills for HACKING. You prefer to HELP PEOPLE, not benefit yourself. Your FRIENDS are very close to you, and you haven't gotten into TOO MANY FIGHTS. You aren't one of those ASSHOLES who YELLS ABOUT EVERYTHING. Usually, you encounter that kind of person as a HIGHBLOOD. You generally DISLIKE HIGHBLOODS. They are always looking for a rustblood, like you, to CULL. This leads to fights, which you either run away from or can manage to talk your way out of. You speak with TACT and use your words to DIFFUSE A SITUATION. One of your FEW INTERESTS you can afford is GAMING. You love VIDEO GAMES. To be brutally honest though, you KIND OF SUCK at most of them. Your FETCH MODUS is CODE, which makes you create and decipher a code to protect your items.

Your trolltag is collectedConcilliator and y0u talk us1ng b1nary.

[forkinyoureye]

Hey, everyone! Can we hold off on any more applications until we get this shit organized? I have no idea how many trolls and humans there are at the moment, and that's a thing I'd love to know.

[ChrisClark13]

Hey, the OP has kinda disapoofed so we kinda took the Crystal of the Magi idea and RAN WITH IT SO HARD.

Basically it's Sburb/Sgurb + FF style Crystals. A lot of them, and it's called Scryb.

Contact us for the Speadsheet and Exposition!

Edit: If the OP doesn't like the idea we'll make a new thread!

[ZDG]

Edit: If the OP doesn't like the idea we'll make a new thread!

I'll take care of that, being the mostly most on and stuff :v

[MQuinny1234]

Tch, how much competition is there for the last two troll spots now?

Also, been a week since the OP posted something, yet she was active yesterday.

[abstractedPatcher]

Okay, I went through the thread again and here's what I've got for characters. Anybody with a ? at the end should ask for links to the info people have put together, so everyone can be on the same page. (Or as much as is possible with a cast this size.)

Trolls: 9/??
Shadia Hydron / Troll / AbsolutelyAngelic's Character / Group + Sheet
Hecate Polcat / Troll / AbsolutelyAngelic's Character / Group + Sheet
Letand Balent / Troll / lolithon's Character / Group + Sheet
Vaires Daytun / Troll / perpetuallyFamished's Character / Group
Maylan Amenta / Troll / remorsefulKitten's Character / ?
Estudi Tiwer / Troll / ZDG's Character / Group + Sheet
Harlz Quince / Troll / MQuinny1234's Character / Group + Sheet
Elanus Laetus / Troll / Voidwolf's Character / Group + Sheet
Tybarr Harlet / Troll / Tac's Character / ?

Humans: 9/??
Terry Woods / Human / forkinyoureye's Character / Group + Sheet
Amai Itokyan / Human / SuperDitz's Character / ?
Seri Blossom / Human / lolithon's Character / Group + Sheet
Gorhn Veisser / Human / omegaUlitmatum's Character / Group + Sheet
Lupe Kindler / Human / volcanicRage's Character / Group + Sheet
Harold Smith / Human / Catmaniac8x's Character / Group + Sheet
Lily Archer / Human / abstractedPatcher's Character / Group + Sheet
Chris Clark / Human / Chris's Character / Group + Sheet
Lucy Barker / Human / RyokoUri's Character / ?

Exiles: 1/?? ...do we have a limit for this at all?
Wirey Castaway / Prospitian / llamamiah's Character / ?
(The White Queen may also be played but she doesn't have a character sheet yet)

So if this is right, we'd start out with 2 sessions with 9 lands each. (This changes because of, well, stuff that would take up a lot of space here.) 18 is a lot to juggle, so it might be good to make sure there's really that many PCs involved in this. Everyone still on board?

You don't have to be on Skype to be on board, it just helps with random chatter/idea creation. Long as you can be contacted somehow, that's what counts. Just let everybody know what you've got planned. If the brainstorming's gone in a different direction from what the OP intends, a second thread's going to get made for those ideas, and nobody should get left out if they don't want to be.

...nope, there's definitely not a need to speak up before the more active plotters run away with the RP. None at all. Everything outside the thread is totally normal. Nothing weird in this game, no sir!

[forkinyoureye]

Thanks for that, aP. That's really the only reason I wanted to put a halt to the signups; so this could happen and we'd know exactly where we stand, player-wise.

So yeah, carry on.

Edited the title to reflect the current player count.

[MQuinny1234]

...Could you repeat that last line again aP?

[forkinyoureye]

oh come on.

The title editing didn't stick. :I

[ZDG]

The op needs to do that.

Also Llama really needs to get on the skypegroup, because we are planning tons of stuff about the chessies.

[abstractedPatcher]

...Could you repeat that last line again aP?

Last line? What last line? There was certainly nothing of import at the end of that post.

Hopefully the OP does come back soon, though, at least to give a green light on what's been thought up and to update the first post.
