Ouroboros: Shadows of Bahamut (OOC)

[Sei]

Copy pasting parts of convos for people's reference.

You see, mana exists in everyone. Even humans. It's what allows them to achieve their..."parameters" if you will. It's also one of the reasons why they can continue to survive in a mana filled environment. However, what separates mages from mutants is how their bodies process mana. Think of how we take in oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide. Mages take in mana and give off magic as a result. Mutants take in mana and give of anti-element.

4:05:43 PM‹Airen›So if two different people use an EQ, is it just the shape that changes or the powers as well?
4:08:27 PM‹Sei›depends. sometimes it's the shape. sometimes it's the power. sometimes both.
4:08:41 PM‹Sei›at the end of it all, some core aspect of it remains the same
4:08:51 PM‹Sei›but the change depends on the user
4:09:00 PM‹Sei›like
4:09:17 PM‹Sei›you could have a sword eq that creates fire
4:09:35 PM‹Sei›but give it to someone else and it could turn into a gun that shoots flaming bullets
4:09:46 PM‹Airen›Ah, makes sense
4:09:51 PM‹Sei›based solely off the fact the new guy has no knowledge of swordplay
4:09:58 PM‹Airen›lol
4:10:48 PM‹Sei›it a weird way it's kinda like devil arms
4:11:57 PM‹Airen›Takes the shape of whatever the user would find most useful
4:12:29 PM‹Sei›more like the easiest way to utilze the eq's power
4:12:48 PM‹Sei›a form that's more intuitive would be the best way to put it, i think
4:12:54 PM‹Airen›Ah
4:12:56 PM‹Airen›Interesting
4:13:10 PM‹Sei›you look at it and think to yourself "i know how to use this"
4:14:59 PM‹Airen›I see, alright
4:15:13 PM‹Airen›And the reasons mutants cant use em is cuz they can only run off mana right?
4:16:02 PM‹Sei›naturally
4:16:12 PM‹Sei›anti-element completely shuts down anything magical
4:16:19 PM‹Sei›complete blackout
4:16:26 PM‹Airen›So its not the source of EXS?
4:16:38 PM‹Airen›Or is that not 'magic' in the normal sense >.>
4:16:39 PM‹Sei›it's a byproduct of EXS
4:16:47 PM‹Sei›i told twelve this, but even demons have mana
4:17:12 PM‹Airen›Hmmm
4:17:18 PM‹Sei›it's like how we breathe in oxygen and emit co2
4:17:20 PM‹Sei›except
4:17:24 PM‹Airen›So they use it and turn it into anti?
4:17:27 PM‹Airen›Ah I was close
4:17:32 PM‹Airen›seemingly >.>
4:17:36 PM‹Sei›mhmm
4:17:46 PM‹Sei›mages take in mana and give off magic
4:17:55 PM‹Sei›mutants take in mana and give off anti-element
4:18:45 PM‹Sei›so you can see why mutants are unwanted around civilization
4:18:46 PM‹Airen›Interesting...
4:18:50 PM‹Airen›Yeah
4:19:08 PM‹Airen›They're making the mana unusable
4:19:22 PM‹Sei›not just that
4:19:36 PM‹Sei›they're using it up and making what's left unusable
4:19:38 PM‹Sei›at the same time
4:19:48 PM‹Sei›cus their bodies still take in mana
4:19:54 PM‹Sei›they just turn it into void
4:20:06 PM‹Sei›whereas mages effectively recycle the stuff
4:20:24 PM‹Airen›SO they're lowering the overall amount
4:20:32 PM‹Sei›mhmm
4:20:32 PM‹Airen›Yeah that'd be a problem

[Sei]

Deadline for sheets is Thursday.

[Draconic]

tfw I thought I had more time…

- - - Updated - - -

I mean, I’ve definitely got something… Just needs refinement.

[Sei]

Game night at my place tomorrow, so I won't be that available. If you have any questions or want to bounce ideas, today would be a good day.

Also, if you think you might want and/or need an extension, speak now or forever hold your peace.

[arkturus]

I may need a day extension

[Sei]

Extending the deadline for everyone to Sunday (the 23rd). Peeps who got there sheets in already, I'll start giving you guys feedback tomorrow if you wanna do touchups before the cutoff.

[Twelveseal]

Oooooh, nice on all offerings. Thankies~

[Tobias]

I I’m to drunk to do....stuff
Can I get advice later or is this one of those one size fits sei deals?

[palad1n]

Gonna accept that feedback offer~

[RoydGolden]

I wouldn't mind some feedback either.

[Draconic]

How many people have applied so far?

[RoydGolden]

How many people have applied so far?

A few days ago it was four, including me. Have you submitted yours yet?

[Draconic]

Yes, but it needs revision.

[Sei]

I I’m to drunk to do....stuff
Can I get advice later or is this one of those one size fits sei deals?

I'm willing to give advice and feedback so long as it isn't last minute.

I wouldn't mind some feedback either.

Gave you feedback already.

Not much to say about your sheet. It's technically fine. But it's also plain and doesn't really stand out.

How many people have applied so far?

I have five submitted sheets atm.

Waiting on a bunch of people working on sheets.

[RoydGolden]

That's fine. I just wasn't sure since palad1n, who you'd also already responded to, had asked for feedback too.

[Twelveseal]

I'd be happy to hear any feedback you'd like to offer.

[Sei]

Based off of the sheets I currently have, these are the current standings:

1. Palad1n
2. Twelveseal
3. Airen
4. Draconic
5. RoydGolden

Right now I'm considering 6-8 slots. Off the top of my head I'm waiting on 6 sheets. So be aware.I'll continue to provide feedback as I comb over sheets.

[Sei]

Minor update

1. Palad1n
2. Twelveseal
3. Airen
4. Draconic/Tang
5. RoydGolden

- - - Updated - - -

Also, fwiw, if you're gonna go the "revenge" or "evil organization" route, please make it interesting

Assuming you're talking about my character, sorry. I kind of suck at writing backstories/histories and that was honestly the best I could think of. I acknowledge that's the weakest part of the sheet but I hope backstory doesn't turn out to be so important you reject the entry just for that. As I see it, information on how the character acts/what drives them in the present is more important than backstory, and I feel I fleshed that out fairly well.

[Sei]

You're not the only one with that kind of backstory.

I'm saying as a precaution to those who are working on sheets. Because I'm seeing it more than a bit.
