Welcome to Gaia! ::

I flip things all the time yo for dat four one one. Can't shake this crazy hefa from the haps in the habs. (MEANING: I tend to read the topics now and then. I'm usually in the know or try and get information on what's happening in the guild too. -nods-) To chime in on the questions at hand though Dylan pretty much hit the nail on the head:


In regards to gaining things from other characters I would have to say there is no clear cut rule. You can't gain power for Special Additions, however, that doesn't mean you can't gain something from that character. An example being that when my rpcs Youyaku and Jouten got into a fight Youyaku actually got his hand encased in gold. As a result of that I made a Made Up involving that that gave him a perk to having hands of that type of gold. At the same time i had to have a mod approve of that rather than just going with it and gaining some sort of perk. So I'd say if the character has more to gain than nightmares and an awesome scary story then it couldn't hurt to submit the idea as a Made up and have what happened explained in said Made Up. but if it's not something they will really gain something from then I don't think you should have to. If I had to get approval every time one of my characters used an attack on the other and they just got hurt then i wouldn't have them interact anymore. Lol. [1]

I personally feel that when two unbreakable objects interact with one another on opposing fronts then they should betreated to one another as ordinary blades. Basically, they can be made of diamond and said to be unbreakable but when they come in contact with each other they damage the same as a normal weapon would to the other and the force behind the strike is the deciding factor to whether one breaks, both break, or neither break. Whenever I use something unbreakable I try to bear in mind that my character reinforce it if they have even the slightly thought they may be facing off with another unbreakable object. Still, i've never really run into the issue aside from with Special Weapons. And in that case it's a separate conditions where no matter what the weapon cannot be broken but only damaged. I personally don't think that should work realistically but it keeps those mystical items from magically being recreated after they get destroyed. -shrug- So honestly I don't wknow where we stand officially but Special Additions stuff cannot be permanently destroyed unless done so as an event or something since the mods wanted to get rid of it or something. Made Up weapons that do that are on their own and should break if faced with unbreakable Special Additions items. However, any weapon can be damaged if it is done realistically, just not destroyed if they are the specified items. [2]

If I went through the villages then I could tell you. Some that might seem active most of the time aren't even if they sprout up saying they are. I know who is around most of the time so I can look at the rpc, recall the owner, and say whether they're active or not. Even if i did that though i couldn't really say which ones are actually being Kages, if that's the question. Some are active but not all are really doing Kage things, in a sense. But if Teufel is interested in interacting with active Kages then I would personally like to have an event come into play similar to the meeting held when all those Kages got killed. We need to do it again and have the whole thing spiral out of control. [3]

Finally, as far as the Made Up to make people say what stuff they use, it's more just so people do it. My rpcs don't get to know it themselves but it keeps people from pulling rabbits out of hats they never placed there (cheating, basically). Since my rpc isn't necessarily gaining the information I wouldn't think her Made Up would work. At the same time it depends on if you are talking about including the rper in that scenario. That would actually be a good idea so that you can fan off having to post techs and stuff and just do the darn thing. But if there is an effect that is tacked on with it that doesn't effect just the rper then I wouldn't say that would work. A two part where if the Made Up is effecting the rper then they get effected but if it's effecting the rpc then they get effected would work though. That would work very, very well. -hides Made Up- Too well! D:
