Ah yes, question questions!!

Starting, how do mental powers go? I'm not even having my character having a mental one... I think, but just wondering? I'm assuming as long as the power doesn't bend the law of conservation, so no creation or destruction of matter, it's all good.

But an extra question is, does this also apply to movement? Can forumers generate momentum/movement energy? Idk... but maybe creating a list of dos and don'ts could be a great help... if you have the time, of course.

Gonna keep a tab open so don't mind me

I'm currently writing a list, as long as answering your questions. Probably be posted tomorrow.

Time · 10/23/2020 12:37 am

Oh yes, thank you very much! : )

@Time

Mental powers are mostly good. The only one with an ambiguity is kenisis-stuff, considering it can easily break the law of conservation (of matter).

Kinda...? Nothing TOO dramatic, but I think it could be bend around a bit, esp. with a drawback like a metabolism rapidly burning. So yeah, mostly good with a bit of ambiguity. I do know Forgotten have the ability to kinda "flash step" (*Slasher movie music* but that's more literally bending reality to let them get to said destination.

Can

-Teleport/Summon (rapidly rearranging matter, but none created/lost)
-Equivalent Exchange (every action has its equal and opposite reaction)(transform something into another, provided it is the proper material and the proper matter. Nothing created or destroyed.)
-Small mental powers (Telepathy, mind reading etc.)(Mind maaagiiic)
-Rapid momentum/speed (burning your own energy. Rapidly increases metabolism as a drawback)
-Flight (defying gravity, not matter)

Grey/Gray

-Momentum gain without metabolic drawback
-Shapeshifting (law of mass rather than matter so... idk)
-Large mental powers (like any kenisis powers but I THINK it's good with proper explanation)

Not right now

-Most things breaking the Law of Conservation of Matter
-True resurrection (A lot of the matter goes to different things as decomposition goes on. Would require a BIG and HIGHLY SPECIFIC exchange of matter in return)(reanimation and necromancy's fine)
-Completely destroying something (as in, destroying the matter)
-Summon/Create objects from nothing

We all know that I like ghostly characters... :eyes:
So, can stuff like temporal intangibility and invisibility be allowed? I guess that if it occurs in the Fallen's body itself it could count as shapeshifting of some sort? Since it's not like their body matter is being destroyed, it's simply changing state... kinda I guess... right?

EldritchAbyssDragon · 10/25/2020 1:27 am

@Specter

Yep! It's perfectly allowed!

Time · 10/25/2020 2:00 am

Oh, sorry for taking so long with my characters. The only thing that's holding me back is just thinking of the power

Time · 10/25/2020 3:49 pm

Do you think that as characters build more and more memories, they can gain more main powers? Or their main power changes or something?

EldritchAbyssDragon · 10/26/2020 10:54 pm

@Time

Either. Powers can become more powerful and/or expand as memories are obtained. The Law of Conservation of Matter becomes more loose with power.

Time · 10/27/2020 12:44 am

Ah I see I see

reading the rules, seeing normally one can only have one main power, I might have the main power change as my character remembers more.

However, this has sprung a new thought for later on... when a fallen remembers, is it like... either they unlock a power or strengthen one? Or can it happen at the same time? Does that make sense?

EldritchAbyssDragon · 10/27/2020 2:02 pm

@Time

Aye. One main power and a couple of secondary powers. But the main power changes with memories.

I think with the first few regained memories, it's a pick one, but as more memories go on, you can do both at once.

TwoPunchAxel · 10/27/2020 2:22 pm

when will the intro thread appear

Time · 10/27/2020 3:42 pm

I think when we have enough characters

I'm going to go change a little bit of design and then submit mine now!

However... anything with the ships? Like... should we design a form? For it?

EldritchAbyssDragon · 10/27/2020 4:22 pm

@Axel

I'm actually making an Intro thread right now!

@Time

Wohooo!!

Uhhh, go nuts. I only know about 18th-century pirate ships so I couldn't be any help for that, apart from Pirate101-ing it. I can mock-up a form, if you want.

EldritchAbyssDragon · 10/27/2020 4:31 pm

Posted in the FWRP section.

SpecterTheGreat · 10/27/2020 4:32 pm

Oooh, cool! I saw :D I'll submit my form and get to join then ;)

Time · 10/27/2020 10:42 pm

Bruhhh let me go post my form bruhh

Only if you have time to make up a mock form... I think I could do it if you want, being a mod.

EldritchAbyssDragon · 10/28/2020 2:24 am

@Specter

WohooO!

@Time

I'll be busy until Nov. 1 (Mix of school and Halloween work). I'd be really grateful if you could do that. Thank you so much.

That's perfect! Thank you so much!

I'm going to be really busy today, so I might not update until Nov 1. It depends. Apologies for the delay!

Time · 10/30/2020 3:09 pm

Welll.... I'm actually a mod. idk if this is incorrectly using my power or anything I think I could add it on, unless if you want to add a little stuff before or after it describing it

GalaxianExplosion · 10/30/2020 3:26 pm

If editing the original post is a sin, I already sinned because there was a part of the original form I formatted, like, last week by silent-editing lol

-Galaxian-

Time · 10/30/2020 4:31 pm

Galaxian if your going to edit at least ask before

EldritchAbyssDragon · 11/02/2020 2:26 pm

*Confused noises* Hm?

Also @Time I can add the ship form right now. My apologies for the delay.
