Let me think about that. Maybe I'll be perkier tomorrow. I mean, talking to a godling sounds like an interesting situation, but I'm just not coming up with anything.

In spades, apparently. I've got two other RPs to post in, and I've got nothing for them either. Worse, I know what's suppose to happen there, and I just can't find the inspiration to describe it. *le sigh*

Alright, So I'm guessing this is what you are looking for at the moment?
[spoiler]Do not remove this search tag: #PLAPP
Your NS Nation's Nickname:Qeno

Character Name:Qeno

Character Gender:Female

Character Species (nation personification, human, alien, etc): Nation personification (Human/Panther)

Character Physical Description (height, weight, apparent age, actual age): She is 5' 1", weighs 115 lbs, She appears to be 16, but is actually 300 years old

URL to Character Picture, if any: http://safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=1363629

Primary Skill or Power: Qeno can generate pocket dimensions and can re-shape the openings so that any objects she wants to put in the pocket dimension she can put there (Power scale 8)

Power Weaknesses/Flaws: The more stuff Qeno places in her pocket dimension, her mental health deteriorates proportionately and cannot recover until the items are removed from the pocket dimension. She is limited to 640 tonnes before feeling the need to drop everything in her pocket dimension and Qeno may need help retrieving those items since she can only lift tiny amounts compared to that

Secondary Skill or Power: She can heal others and herself with the use of magic (Power Scale 4)

Power Weaknesses/Flaws: It reverses her apparent age by one year each time this power is used

Character Background/Biography:
Qeno was born after a tyrannical regime gave way to a social revolution that changed the government to a woman led aristocracy and she was discovered abandoned at the feet of the capital building in which caught the attention of one of the princesses that were just about to enter the building. One of the princesses brought her into the capital building and soon Qeno was adopted then was trained to act like a proper Nation personification. Over the course of 300 years she gave up claims to the throne and watched as her other adopted sisters did the same to leave the youngest as ruler of Qeno, time and time again.

Why the character is in Bielefeld/Occupation: Retirement from Politics

Link to RP examples: (this MUST be a DIRECT LINK to your IC post in an RP, NOT a link to the RP thread itself. If you don't have examples, make your biography good.)

IMPORTANT:
One paragraph that sums up your character. This paragraph is what we'll use on your player tab on the first page of the thread. This MUST be brief. Your tab will contain a link to your application so people will have full details:

Qeno is the embodiment of the economically powerful, science fiction, with a mix of fantasy and woman-led matriarchy of Qeno. Much like her country she enjoys the idea of shopping around for great but almost useless products in hopes for the perfect deal and she loathes the thought of discriminating against people on the terms of where the money comes from. She also has features of a black panther, Tail, Ears, and fangs with one more noticeable than the others.

Approved.

We're at our holiday venue at the moment. I can work the character in.

Verily! Though I might send someone else, actually. *nods* Will do tomorrow if OK. Also in case Qeno is on and I'm not, feel free to borrow Cuisine, one of you guys.

Soz Bran and Torsi for freezing Kei and Katya. Minor miscalculation. I'll throw together a quick post to free you guys up.

I have no idea where the other "new guy" went. I've freed up your new character and then set Qeno along his path.

And Sandy and Amanda do have their own abilities and backstories, even their world is the antithesis of PL (Sandy was originally created for a "secret war" dark urban fantasy RPG).

I'm open to ideas (from anybody).

Why not use those dice of yours to come up with interesting emotions, and then figure out reasons for said emotions?

Gio did tell them that there's more gods as Residents, and more powerful ones at that. They could also question how another pegasus actually exists.

Sandy's not concerned by Willow, since he's clearly a pale shadow of the Platonic Pegasus. ;) Also, your character did make the comment that that form is the "Olympian Pegasus", which would give Sandy another answer: Willow is part of some other mythology. But let me think about that; off the top of my head, though, it seems like back to twenty questions.

The "more gods" bit did catch my eye, in the sense that that really sounds like your character wants to ditch Sandy and Amanda as just basically uninteresting. "Hey, why don't you go pester somebody else!" :p

@Fvaar: I spose I could use the polyhedrons of all roleplaying, even though I think I'm leaning on them a bit much lately. I really should be able to pull up my big-roleplayer pants and come up with something. Jebus, it's not like I haven't been RPGing since the Beginning of Time. :p
