Don't worry about it, I can work with a limited amount of people. Having more would just be nice, not a necessity. I do have characters of my own that I can drag in if need be.
Off hand, hope that your AP score(s) are good once you finally have access.

Aha! Someone new to this writing(???) thread? Good day to you, Rebel! Your name is so ironic considering a sentence I just wrote lol
Good luck on your writing! I can't wait to read it. Let me know if you do need an OC. I have, uh, like 300??? Hehe.
And thank you for your kind hopes! I sure hope so too, and I'd say I need that hope, but at this point it's just trepidation and waiting to see.

Dw Galaxian I'll vibe to agk
Why not just alter their powers a bit? Or water it down? To make them less op?
I hope so too yes.

Good luck with your grades! I'm sure you have good ones though :D you're very intelligent.

Oh you have a protagonist for the AU? Coolio.
👀 I'm excited to read the first chapter when you post it! I like your quality, even if you say it's not good or whatever. At least it's good enough for me :').

@Time - It's fun making them OP but making their personality so that it restricts them. There's a kind of appeal to me in that, you know? It's kind of weird to hear, probably, but really I'm a fan of the notion of people with great power not using it unless they have to--and when they have to, they still just do it because they need to. In the real world and stuff, everyone has different power levels, and what we usually hear about are the people who don't really wield that power wisely? I don't think I'll ever be in a real life position where I'll have tons of power over others (probably for the better lol, who listens to me? No one. No one xD) except for maybe whatever my career will be, so my best way of trying to understand is through my characters.
I do daresay that even if they're overpowered they don't really use it to the extent of seeming all that overpowered. So it's my way of just liking them more, I guess.
And while I've been drafting AgK! stuff I keep remembering how you say you like it when people in fights need to be more tactical and such. The problem with doing that in RPing is because you can't really count on others to go with it, but in my writing I'm trying (keyword there) to make it so it's less about how OP the Teigu are and more about the wielders and their motives while using their weapons. And some people don't have Imperial Arms so uwu. Thanks for your support hehe! It means a lot!
@Specter - It's less of an actual protagonist right now, since a protagonist is defined as someone who will basically define the climax of the story and I suck at climaxes and planning them than for any other story component. I basically call them a protagonist to try to get myself to focus on one or a few people instead of everyone like I'm prone to doing. Thanks for your support btw! I really really hope I won't thoroughly disappoint you .

Yeah I need some more big brain plays. I agree that big brain stuff is kinda hard in rp. And plus the weaker the characters are (in comparison to their opponent, maybe), possibly the more big brain plays? Idk, I think I'm starting to say just I want more big brain plays, and I don't care how op the character is. But then again OP characters don't need big brain plays.
I've always thought about a story or a character or something where they don't have any powers yet still take on like, seriously op villains, and win. That seems cool. Big underdog stuff there.

In RPs I think it might be complicated because of the varying power levels that you have no control of, and there are like huge power moves like, for instance, tracking. Like for the Clocktower invasion, I doubt much tactical strategy could be of use against a group of crazy corrupted deities. Though maybe in the smaller fights they'll be able to manifest more easily.
I disagree, actually. Even if you're OP you need tactics to use and improve your powers. Like, for instance, someone might have the ability to destroy universes, but if they don't have the intelligence or tactics to improve that ability through training or use it in battle (like, who destroys universes in battles except for Saint Seiya characters lol, and who'd destroy a universe they're in so like lol), the extent is basically useless.
I think I've seen similar premises, but that's an interesting thought.

I mean, like op to the point they don't need to improve their powers. I think that's pretty much what an op character is, to me. They don't actually need to develop or improve powers, and can just best anyone with the tricks they already have.

That means they already pulled the big brain then? No?

The AgK! AU's first chapter is vibing, I think. First draft is more or less complete (small chunks will need to be added and the whole will need to be r e v i s e d mercilessly), but it's vibing at 1:33 A.M. and that's very good for me.
Because I need to try to make a semblance of a sleep schedule I need to go now though, so good night :3 and maybe anticipate it? Idk.

not all the time I would think depends on person and backstory and etc.

What's worse than having no writing inspiration while writing something with a very close time limit? Having drawing inspiration for that something with a very close time limit.

Oh uhh and example is on the surface Galaxian? His backstory is basically unknown, so it can seem he just already he was just given the powers.
What is that, and what are they saying

Yay, done with a form. One form, and I am done with forms for the day lol. Does that mean I'll actually do Chem today? Probably not. It just means I'm done with forms for the day.
Rai was going to be a Viaki but when I told him this in my mind he didn't seem to like that so I switched him to factionless. I guess he likes danger.
Also while I was writing his form for The Rift his AgK! personality kept bumping into my mind ijfoweijwefo.

I'm here just making unnecessarily long forms for characters that are necessarily mysterious.
I don't think I've ever used Rai for a story though (other than AgK! obviously)? This should be fun :D.
It's kinda weird but I feel prideful of his class name. "Wireless". It just seems great to my huge ego for some reason. It gives me the impression of his personality and how he's factionless. Wireless, as in he doesn't have restraints from others and so he can basically go anywhere. Wireless also conveys speed to me for some reason. And basically the name gives me Rai vibes that I can't explain all that clearly.
xD I'm weird. Sorry.

By the way, I'm not too sure if others have the option to, but when I first post something before editing it, it allows no preview. So Rai's form gave me like half a heart attack when its formatting came out first, which was great .

The Rift's premise reminded me of the Trial of Fate fanfic I'm kinda writing but not really.
In that fanfic I'm not dealing with many characters (though I will be soon) so Rai's personality kinda jumped from there. It's more fantasy than the Rift from what I can tell, though.
I don't have access to my writing device so the form was tricky to complete today. Ah well.
GGaD forms be like and updates be like but I just don't do them I guess.

Wireless is a really good class name! one of my favourite parts of getting forms is seeing what everyone's class names are
