/slides a first question across the table

For nonhuman but humanoid characters with horns and wings natively, or odd-coloured blood, will they be keeping it in the setting, or no?

And for a more character-specific question: I'm considering apping an angelic character to the game. He has two forms, a 'human' form, and his true form, with the human form being a 'disguise' as he travels in canon claiming to be a human. Canon doesn't explain more than that so it's kind of in a grey area.

Is it okay for him to switch between the two forms cosmetically? I can forego the light halo and the wings but it would be cool to have an eye colour or hair length change for this character to indicate emotional intensity, as he is of the expressionless variety.

Are characters with split personality allowed? I realize that could overlap a bit with one of AlcheME's powers.

I feel like maybe this info was covered in a plurk or maybe the original gdocs but I don't think I saw it spelled out anywhere on the current info pages, though I see a mention in one of the answers here.

But to clarify, are all original canon powers capped/gone with no way to regain them?

In the case of characters from series with multiple routes or other kinds of branching events, is it okay to have them regain memories from different routes or should we stick to just one timeline?

SO HERE'S THE THING, the character I'm apping is canonically a normal human girl who is terminally ill and just spends all her time in a VR environment to compensate for her poor health. SPOILERS: She dies at the end.

Mmmmy intention is to app her to Imeeji with icons from her VR avatar (since there's like .5% canon for her RL looks). Would this be an issue? Also, considering I'm apping her post-death I was hoping there'd be no need to deal with any of the illness stuff, but I wanted to check with you guys first, obviously.

tl;dr: My canon is bad, help???

[personal profile] dragonheartedgirl 2018-06-01 06:45 am (UTC)(link)
I have a couple of questions!

1. For characters who do not come from a modern world--has their transportation here given them a background level of knowledge to be familiar with the modern world, or should they still be completely clueless when it comes to technology and modern concepts? For example, the character I want to app (the same journal I'm using now) comes from a fictional, pre-modern country and would have no idea what computers or phones are, much less how to use them. Is it okay to play her as such?

2. Obviously characters lose all magical skills. What about regular skills? For example: Yona here knows how to shoot a bow and arrow in canon. Would she have simply forgotten that she can do this (and can shoot perfectly if she were to encounter a bow) or is this a skill that would have to be re-learned or re-remembered through memory regain in order to work?

3. How much magic is removed? Clearly characters can't use powers of any kind, but what about background things that have no real function? My character is the reincarnation of another person who has a special connection to other people. She can't sense them from a distance or read thoughts/feel their feelings or anything of that nature, but essentially she simply has very strong feelings linked to them/for them that are at least in some part attributable to her past life/pre-incarnation that would affect a first-meeting with them. Is it correct to assume that's all gone?

Hi! I have a couple of questions, if that's okay.

1) Is there any limit on the threads that can be submitted as sample threads in the app, aside from length? Are there any restritions on, say, where they come from or when they have to have been posted? Is it acceptable to give examples that were not a part of the test drive?

and

2) How would you like character memory lists organized, if our apps are accepted?

Thanks so much! :)

I realize that healing powers are connected with some teams. Is it possible to buy healing items (normal things like bandages, medicine, salve)? I only ask since I didn't see it listed with the things available for purchase.

[personal profile] furrytailprince 2018-06-10 05:41 am (UTC)(link)
Another probably silly question. Would the characters have any non-magical accessories on them from back home? Like necklaces or whathaveyou?

[personal profile] sonof 2018-06-10 09:12 am (UTC)(link)
They do not have any items from home with them on arrival! That said, depending on the item they could probably save up points to buy it back after remembering it.

So if a character is maybe partially illiterate in canon how would that be handled in terms of using the smartphone and reading bios and such? Would the phones have a dictation option or something of that nature or would basic literacy be packed into the ability to use a phone in general?

Unfurls a list of questions about powers like Buddy Bond and Buddy Boost: is there a range for how far the connection can extend while still being intact? What range is it to activate? Does Buddy Bond also transmit thought as well as feeling? Also, is the power from Buddy Boost always the same amount, or does it scale depending on how much the other person is in sync/cheering on/believes in them?

Another question, this one re: sensitiv's healing powers. are they like "use whenever you want, no real limit or cost" or are they powered via the user's own energy or whatever? (so like use it too many times, pass out or whatever or is it just "yeah whatever"?)

For Avante's prise de fer ability: is there hp gain when taking the selected damage? Basically is it that (let's just go with piecing as an example):

1. Any stab wound will heal OR

2. Any stab wound will heal + additional hp gain on non stab injuries? If so, is the hp gain relative to the intensity of the stab?

Can you combine Lives with vids?

For example, Gold and Ace are using the vid room to give them a room and practice swords in which to hold a practice duel, and are attempting to be all knightly while doing it. So Ace is calling a Live while they're in the vid room. Would they get points for both a Live and a vid?

HEY some quick questions about ✩ZRAEL's powerset!

1) Does Verticality need to be activated somehow (e.g. by touching the target object), or is it just like you look at something and it can float now?

2) Verticality can make the user float, but can it also work on other people?

Question regarding memories! Once regained, can the regainee replay that memory on their phone at their whim? Also, does the manner in which it was received affect the replay at all? For example: if a character spent only the points necessary for publicly broadcast memory and the memory is allowed to replay, would the replay be private or a public broadcast as well?

Since Kano has access to the potions ability now I want to make sure I don't step on any toes.

Spreadsheet that should be editable

I don't want to accidentally do any that aren't okay. Specifically some may step on the toes of other units powers potentially such as changing people into animals. I also want to give yall a chance to add on any potions you may want! I've tried to take suggestions from as many people as I could but we could have missed things.

So! Here's a list with a column for mod approval. You can add in anything yall like as well.

Some of these (TRUTH POTION) are things Kano (and AlcheME at large) would not make willingly so is it okay some potions can be Accidents?

[personal profile] sonof 2018-06-30 09:33 am (UTC)(link)
We've assessed all of the suggested potions and added one suggestion of our own (though we'll leave the naming of it up to you)! We basically said as much on your sheet already, but you are also definitely free to make accidental potion monstrosities (like the dreaded Truth Serum) when attempting to make any potion that would not be possible or even when trying to make a possible potion and just fucking it up or getting sabotaged by C somehow.

If someone append Wolverine does his metal skeleton and claws count as somethingthatneeds to be needed. And like his healing and mutant abilities would so would he keep the bone claws but lose the indestructible metal coating or what.
