PL: The EPIC OOC XI [closed]

[Giovenith]

I literally slept all day long. I've accidentally made myself nocturnal and am having trouble reversing it.

I'm having that trouble too. Waking up at like 2 pm and stuff haha

and The Equestria event has been really fun to read! Keep up the excellent work everyone, especially Gio!

I like how at the Building Sterling is thinking and singing praises about how nice and pure ponies and Equestria is, meanwhile, in the actual dimension of Equestria, racist slurs, violence, death, and narcissism are running amok. At least he's not technically wrong, just different time period.

He's a very naive pony anyway. He forgets that it used to be much different too


Also uh, I did just think of this, but someone may have to stop the Jedi and Sith from, put simply, killing each other. Natural enemies and all that.

[Tiltjuice]

That is, tomorrow according to you guys (tonight here, timezones are all our friend!)

Coffee is your friend. All-night, then all-day!

Before I turn in for the night (or at least try to), I give you all this in honor of our anime critiquing the other day.

"And then everyone just stands around in the classroom forever while the girls act like a bunch of catty, flirty bitches. That's not me being misogynistic, it's just how the show treats it's female characters. A bunch of catty, flirty bitches who've got nothing better to do in their life than fight over who gets to serve some shitty, boring guy. If this is supposed to be an escapist fantasy or something, then I really want to know what guy's fantasy is to be constantly fought over by a bunch of annoying, boring dumbasses."

Never have I applauded so fucking hard at a statement in my life. THAT kind of shit being so toxicly common is why it's so hard for me to find good anime despite being inclined to like anime.

[Tiltjuice]

Well put. Who's it from?

[Giovenith]

Well put. Who's it from?

Digibro. He used to be a big MLP vlogger guy, but he's since changed pace and focused on anime instead. He's fantastic at it.

PERSONIFICATION LIFE
CHARACTER APPLICATION

---

PERSONAL CHARACTERISTICS
Character Name: Enali Archdreamer

Character Gender: Female

Species: Dark Elf

Age: 83

Appearance: White hair, brown skin, 5'7, slim and agile, orange eyes.

URL to Character Picture, if any: Here and Here

Primary Objective: As part of her clans tradition, Enali must acquire something very valuable to contribute to the prestige and sustainability of clan Archdreamer. Whether it be a special set of skills, or an artifact of immeasurable power, Enali is set on impressing the clan elders by bringing them something that will earn her permanent renown.

Secondary Objectives: Aside from earning renown within her clan, Enali seeks to become a famous Dungeoneer and a thief of note. She'll gladly take any jobs that require subtlety whether it be a simple pickpocket, extracting items from ruins, or committing larceny of highly protected property.

MUNDANE SKILLS
These do NOT require points. These are the average, daily things your character can do. Examples are "drive a car", "speak a normal Foreign Language", "play a guitar", "write poetry". Some mundane skills come from your bio and are freebie. A soldier knows very basic training (shoot a gun, basic drill). Medic, martial arts or sniper would be a Specialized Skill or Talent.
List Mundane skills here:

• Speak Elvish & Basic
• Being Edgy (Being able to generate the required amount of brooding and self loathing if an area is lacking)
• Fast Runner
• Effectively Use Daggers
• Can shoot small arms
• Street Rapper
• Pro 'Fire Emblem' player
• Plan Generator: While quick to come up with a variety of plans, most are not entirely thought through and filled with error. In a sticky situation, she'll often adapt to the situation and come up with a new plan on the spot of the first has fallen through.

SPECIALIZED SKILLS AND TALENTS
These are specialized skills that set you apart from the average person. You have 7 points to spend here. Examples are swordsmanship, sniper, coercion, piloting etc.
Ability 1 and Points Spent: Knifemanship - 2
Ability 2 and Points Spent: Lying - 1
Ability 3 and Points Spent: Observation - 2
Ability 4 and Points Spent: Trap Specialist - 2


OPTIONAL SUPERNATURAL CHARACTERISTICS
You have 7 points to spend here on supernatural skills or abilities. Sonic Scream, Levitation, Spell Casting, Shape Shifting etc. Superman MUST have his kryptonite, so Restrictions are what can't they do with their power or what balances it. They can only use it when they genuinely need it? They can't use it for more then five minutes without serious side-effects? Some things are allowed without points. A pegasus has wings thus it can fly. A raptor is fast thus no points are spent in speed. These "natural" abilities should be listed in the character's description, however.

Ability 1: Flowmotion
Power Level: 3
Strengths: Able to easily move throughout the environment by utilizing surroundings (such as buildings and close walls).
Weaknesses: This drains Enali's stamina at a greater rate than if she were to simply perform under normal conditions. (Regular sprinting and stuff).
Restrictions: If not careful in regarding her surroundings, Enali can easily misstep and plummet to an untimely demise.

Ability 2: Natural Magic Resistance
Power Level: 4
Strengths: A Dark Elf specific racial trait. With the Dark Elves worship towards numerous 'evil' gods separating themselves apart from their regular elf compatriots in appearance and religion, all Dark Elves find themselves gifted a natural resistance towards the effects of various magic. They'll be effected in a significantly lesser degree by abilities mainly involving metaphysical, supernatural, and spiritual attacks.
Weaknesses: While immune to most magical and mental harm, this resistance does not carry over to physical harm. Magic or abilities that cut, bash, slash, or inflict some other form of physical damage will not be mitigated. In addition, Magic used to heal or aid individuals in some way will be ineffective on a Dark Elf.
Restrictions: This resistance is limited to the petty magic cast by most mortal creatures. Those with greater proefficiency in performing magic (PC's, Gods, Etheral creatures, etc.) will have a significantly better time in achieving the intended effects of their abilities.


MAGICAL OR SPECIAL ITEMS
List:

• Archdreamer Daggers

- These daggers were forged by the clan elders of Archdreamer. Passed down from numerous other clan members, being gifted these blades symbolizes a prominent future in being an agent for the clan and a capable thief like most Dark Elves are. The blades are coated in 'Alcheic' poison, the liquified innards of a rare flower that originates around the clans main encampment. While modern medicine has made it entirely possible for this poison to be treated if the subject receives medical attention, the main idea for this poison is to be fast acting and will effectively prove fatal 100% of the time without treatment.

Poison Info: Time of death can vary depending on the severity of the wound inflicted with the daggers, but a victim will normally die in under 45 minutes without sufficient treatment. It's effects involve an annoying itch, slowly followed by loss of feeling in the limbs and eventually total paralysis. As the poison spreads through the blood stream, it will begin to melt veins and internal organs until the innards are nothing but mush and the victim is choking on their own blood.


BACKGROUND
Education or Training: Trained from a young age in the art of being a thief by fellow clansmen as most Dark Elves in her clan had risen to prominence in the profession. Most of what she knows today is thanks to the teachings of the clans scholars and warriors to the younger generation.
Character Background/Biography: Like all members of clan Archdreamer, Enali does not know her birth parents, nor does she need to as all members of the clan are taught independence and self-sufficiency from the moment they learned to walk. Those who could not swim simply sink, and those who find themselves swimming are handpicked by the elders to undergo various trials to prove their worth for the clan.

Enali always had a knack for lying to the adults and a fascination with venturing into the unknown. According to the elders, she would be a fine addition to the ranks of the adventurers. Soon enough, Enali found herself undergoing personal tutelage under the guidance of some of the clans best adventurers. She would be shown what to look for when exploring ruins, how to detect traps, and how to put these exact same skills to use during a theft, something that all Dark Elves were infamously known for.

Upon reaching her Eightieth birthday, Enali was cast out of the Clan in order to put what she had been taught to good use. Given instruction on certain items she was to obtain, Enali patiently blends into society as a freelance 'adventurer-for-hire'. If successful, she'd find herself undergoing the ritual to enter adulthood next. She would be the youngest adulthood according to clan mechanics.

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
Character Name: Enali Archdreamer
Brief Description: A young Dark Elf that has set out to make a name for herself. She'll readily take a variety of dependable adventurer jobs, or any well paying job under the table. While on her own and away from her clan, she's ready to do what she must to make a living and live up to the expectations placed upon her.

I believe I remedied all of the issues, though I do wonder if the Daggers still need a power level given that I took out all their magical aspects. They're about the same as ordinary daggers now with the exception of their symbolic meaning and the poison.

I also cut the 'Inner Darkness Externalization' entirely and replaced it with a racial trait for Dark Elves. That being the increased resistance towards magic-esque attacks.

Before I turn in for the night (or at least try to), I give you all this in honor of our anime critiquing the other day.

"And then everyone just stands around in the classroom forever while the girls act like a bunch of catty, flirty bitches. That's not me being misogynistic, it's just how the show treats it's female characters. A bunch of catty, flirty bitches who've got nothing better to do in their life than fight over who gets to serve some shitty, boring guy. If this is supposed to be an escapist fantasy or something, then I really want to know what guy's fantasy is to be constantly fought over by a bunch of annoying, boring dumbasses."

Never have I applauded so fucking hard at a statement in my life. THAT kind of shit being so toxicly common is why it's so hard for me to find good anime despite being inclined to like anime.

This is perhaps the most accurate critique of anime shows that are similar to this. I applaud of this as well.

[Torsiedelle]

I always hated harem BS in anime.

Then again, I also hated most male characters in anime. Except Samurai 7....coolest MCs ever.

So, in through the chandelier? Sounds fancy.

@All: The characters in UA are going to buy fuel for the Residents' vehicles. There are four of them that I know about:

Three that run on Diesel fuel: the tech-priests' truck, Thad's rig, and the Belas' jeep.

One that runs on turbine fuel/jet fuel: Bran's helo.

Do we have any others, especially ones that run on gasoline?

Our exact definition of how a suit of power armor could constitute as a 'vehicle' aside. It still is another thing that runs off a source of energy, hydrogen in this case. Though of course I'm just pointing that out, not that I would expect any character to help pay for Romy's hydrogen anyway, given that it'll mostly be him that'll probably get the most used out of that deal. And I would doubt anyone else could use it, at least to the efficiency needed to use it properly (and without accidents), and that's of course even assuming he would even let anyone else use his valuable equipment in the first place, which I realistically doubt he would.

But this is just something to point out and add, as far as resources go. And for all purposes, his armor is just a very personal item.

Yes, yes, I know: no cup-holders.

I'm asking about things that run on petroleum products, because they're easy to move and store. Hydrogen comes in tanks of compressed gas or (maybe) adsorbed onto/absorbed into metal foams, which is a little less convenient to work with.

Harem animes where the MC isn't totally dense like a neuron star and actually starts progressing with making a choice are actually really rare, and that's why I don't watch them.

That and it's usually lovey dovey drama that doesn't interest me.

Okay, gotcha.

Still, just something to consider if we have to of course.

[The Carlisle]

Yesterday was good. Went up to a family christmas party. Had lots of fun and was nice to see them all again. Also, went to my grams, my cousins, and my aunt and uncle for various reasons but it was nice to see them all as well. Got back home and did the dumb thing by playing video games well into the night instead of sleeping. Now I'm up at 5 and eating pizza for "breakfast".

Well, gonna check the IC and see what I can do

[Tsuyoi Tekikoku]

Just got back from watching the new star wars, and it seems my whole week is free of interruptions!

Regardless of the MC, the premise of, "Boy, oh, boy! Look at all these bitches lining up to get a chance at my nuts! How completely inexplicable and whacky that all these hot babes totally want me!" is too much of a mind-numbing immature dumbness for me to swallow. Like jee, what else you want to pile on that 14-year-old boy fantasy, Billy? A mountain of money? Lifetime supply of nachos? A flying car?
