Chain Wars Discussion

Could someone tell me what are the class levels? It's the one thing I need to post my sheet. BTW, Shane, you wrote the wrong spirit. And I will wait you answer Sicon's question too. Along with his question, what other powers I can use without directly summoning my spirit? I think I'll choose the Hatter of Madness, so, what can I do without summoning him?

Victin I think i know which spirit I wrote for

You wrote 'White Knight". There's no white knight, no offense inteended.

[Pixelmage]

Vic, I'm afraid you didn't read the first post at all.

Knight of the Vorproal Blade (White Knight): There is a problem with the White Knight. And that problem is that he can't stop himself from pointing out and punishing ever little injustice. If someone drops a piece of trash to the ground they are scum. If someone is too lazy to do their fair share of work they are scum. And scum must be punished. If you don't help the Knight he will give you an earful about it. Just having this spirit in your body makes it tough as hell. It takes a few stabs of a knife just to cause a cut to it. In the transfer state the user gains a seat of heavy armor and a long sword that glows white with energy. This Vorproal blade will cut through anything, even diamond. The drawback of it is that whenever it directly takes a human life it will also wound its wielder, the more people killed in a row the more damage is dealt to the one who swings it. When he is finally summoned he will judge each and every person. If their good out ways their sins they will live. If their evil out ways their good they shall be put to the blade. And no one lives up to his standards. Just hope your sins are lesser then everyone else's before calling upon his judgement. He will only stay for a limited time so just hope that time is on your side.

I'm thinking that for balancing purposes, it could be good to do something like what Vic suggested. i.e. each spirit (minus Alice, since reality warping is pretty broken) has a mental and a physical effect. For instance, the Hatter could retain a few weaker items from his hammerspace hat and store them, perhaps impossibly, on his person for a certain amount of time outside his transfer state, and he can be illogical. The Rabbit has good memory, and can move quickly, with the drawbacks each one has. (Perfect memory can be traumatizing, and any attempt to move beyond the capabilities of his enhanced body will probably cripple him) The White Knight has his body strength, but the White Knight in the story was also rather crazy prepared, so you could do something with that. (He prepared his horse for SHARKS.)

I suppose though that if you want things to stay this way, I'll just settle for the memory, since it fits better, and use Awesomeness By Analysis. It's your call. Let me know, then I will write a bio.

Alright if we have that be the case I will edit in the over-preparedness into the bio...somehow

trying to think about the Hare and the complexities of that...

[Sicon112]

Well, it was just a suggestion. I'll live with just memory if Xana doesn't like it. Though, Xana, do you have any other ideas for a weak physical ability that I could have, so as to be able to fight outside of transfer state? I mean, you created this whole thing, so you would be able to do something that fits better than I would. I think the speed thing sort of works, but that's all I can come up with. I wouldn't be moving much faster than a human if I get both, so it isn't really that broken. Outside of transfer, I'm still pretty weak. I mean, Mimsy still has logic defying stage tricks, which yes, I'm sure he will weaponize at some point.

[JRPictures]

Sounds like an interesting concept Alice in wonderland themes aside. But knowing my track records with RPGs here. I'll pass.

(I could mention the other RPG I tried to start up but then I just sound like a d*ck.)

[Sicon112]

I almost have my character prepared. I will post a bio shortly, Xana. I'm just going to go with the memory thing for now, though I could always justify a version of the speed power by having my character get upset with the Rabbit's constant nagging and demand that if he is so frantic about being late, he do something about it. I could just argue a speed boost out of the guy and go with that, or just leave the speed boost in.

Like I said, this does not really upset the balance since Mimsy's character will be weaponizing stage magic, boosted by the logic breaking powers of the Hatter (And yes, you can weaponize that very easily) Pixie has reality warping, Shane has super toughness, Eli has super strength, and Isla will have what is essentially an SEP. If I just have a good memory, that is rather lopsided, at least until we break out our Transfer States.

[Victin]

Okay... I remember seeing one character which was bad into making friends (his only friends were the other people with spirits), and I'm planning into making a shy character for the cat, does anyone have a shy character?

[Pixelmage]

Vic, if you want to make a char for Cheshire, you'll have to talk to Kariese. She need to adapt her bio because you'll need to be twins.
To be honest, the only reason she got the cat already was because Shane gave up on it for the White Knight.
And Xana would probably have to adapt the Cheshire description to account for that too.

Well, all the characters are taken already, so or I'll have to compete with someone or Kariese and I become relatives. Or something else. BTW, since Mimsy's character seems to know us already, I was thinking of which sort of relations we could put into our characters:
- Acquaintances
- Friends
- Relatives
- Lovers

[Pixelmage]

Since we're all High School age, we could all hail from the same school. No further connection required unless desired by a group of players.

My point: we are all from the same school, why don't we know each other?

[Guyshane]

Did you know everyone in your high school? because i didn't and i went to a small, private school

[Pixelmage]

My character is a loner. He does not make friends. Everyone could know his name, he could know everyone's name but there's no reason at all to have him share backstory with anyone else. And we don't need to write a full book of backstory before we start playing, let's just roll with it.

[Victin]

It's just that Mimsy wrote that he knew us in his sheet, and I was going to do so.

[AMimsyBorogove]

By that, I mean that the Hatter is a very outgoing person, and has encountered you guys' characters at least once, but has done little more than be rather weird and maybe screw with their minds a little bit.

[eli_gone_crazy]

Hatter and Hare, mimsy. Just think of the chaos.

[AMimsyBorogove]

Yeah, pretty much. =P

Also, word of warning. With his newfound power to dispense everything, including unimaginable/impossible objects, the Hatter's stage magic tricks will be rather... absurd. When not in channeling mode, he's going to be fighting Master of Illusion style... without illusion powers. So, yeah, this should be fun.

[Pixelmage]

Guys. Help me come up with a Name? I'm not sure I want to have my character be called Pixel... Which of course would be a Nickname but...

Also, I'm not talking about my plans for him... The surprise will serve me well. xD

Pillan Xavier Lender. Pixel for short. Will that do?

[Pixelmage]

Nah... Too much.
I'm no exactly looking to keep "Pixel"... It's just that if I do run with it, then it'll not be my character's true name, for obvious reasons... I'm trying to think about what exactly I'm looking for.

[JackAlsworth]

Phillip Alexander LeVanc.

Percival (Percy) Allen Thurston.

Magnus de Blaad, Champion of Stabbing. (That last one was a joke. Kind of.)

[AMimsyBorogove]

Perin Isei Levard.

Alternatively, name him something silly like Reginald or Chauncey, then make him a video game modder who hates his birth name, and hence give him the nickname "Pixel."

I definitely didn't suggest the name "Perin" so I could, at some point, obnoxiously shout "HELP ME PERIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!" And hence semi-quote a Touhou meme. Definitely not.
