Maerua Chieftain Twilight oh dear... so much to read... I'll do it later. but I will say I'm excited to say I can now use my Orc character, Kari! biggrin nobody uses Female Orcs anywhere! sonovabitch I was gonna make a female Orc too! rofl No reason why there can't be two or threeGaia has their own rendition of orcs, you know. They don't get much love though; they only appeared briefly in the Rejected Olympics comic for Aekea. aye, I actually like the Orc skins. smile I have a rough draft of the Gaia incarnation of Kari. ^_^ I just sort of drew it up one day a couple years ago. I'm actually glad that you were gonna have a Female Orc as well. Orc Women are seriously unrepresented, it's sad. confused even WoW has only one remarkable one and she's basically known only as "Thrall's Wife".

I was playing in tektek yesterday and I did notice that the orc skins make a lot of otherwise terrible salon eye and hair options look halfway decent if not awesome. They look scrawny with clothes on, but that's just the "one size only, screw anyone who doesn't fit" side of the avatar system showing. WoW orc: lol that is... pathetic, but proves your point. But yeah, it's a good thing that Kari won't be the token female orc lol

I wanna say, I read the revision for Sabe and Maerua, and I am extremely impressed with it! @.@ that's awesome.
I am now nervous about my character Retcon as well.... because I play Twi as a character who's story is the story of my roleplaying on Gaia. I'd like to change as little as possible, but I am unsure I can entirely mesh everything out smoothly. I will wait until everyone has finished their revisions before presenting my own. certain events have to remain essentially the same in order for this all to work.
otherwise, I'll have to be the dickhead who uses the "alternate timeline" excuse. and I feel like that just would be unfair for all of you guys.
I get that I'm the one being difficult, here. so no need to tell me as much.
of course, I'm also excited to get to use Samuel, Kari, and Liz.

Maerua What events are you worried about? really all of them. I am ok with a revision, but anything big that happened I'd like to leastways keep it's essence. for example, Twi being kicked out, the whole alternate timeline fiasco, the fight at Twi's aunt and uncle's house, Luc and Twi's falling out... that kinda stuff.

Basically all the Twi vs Luc arcs. That's reasonable, but are you sure you're not talking about 'alternate universe' arc following the Zurg arc, instead of the timeline plot we (relatively speaking) just finished?

I really don't like being this difficult. I hope it's not a problem...

Some of the details won't be able to stay the -exact same- (like ones that would conflict with posted backstories), but I think those ones are irrelevant to Twi? Is the main point establishing portal powers and such? (forgive the oversimplification)

(forgive the oversimplification) in a word, yes. but it also involves the "how" and such. like I have said, Twi is written as my Roleplaying on Gaia at-large.

Chieftain Twilight in a word, yes. but it also involves the "how" and such. like I have said, Twi is written as my Roleplaying on Gaia at-large. Meta-characters are pretty tough to write in without some butchery involved. From what you mention so far Some core stuff that you wanted to keep as is that shouldn't really conflict with anything, assuming I remember what's involved: - Twi gets into a lot of trouble with Luciano because he's half-vampire - Fight breaks out Twi's folks' house - He gets kicked out of the Black Ops and nearly killed, joins up with Von Helsons instead. What doesn't work at all without some kind of change: - the alt universes arc Why? - The alt universe traveling only followed the gang taking control of a Zurg spaceship (after they were all abducted and forced to play some kind of fighting tourney no less) and warping past space-time and went to elsewhere. It was a great arc, but totally unrealistic. Why would the Zurg nab the entire Black Ops at the same time, how would any of the gang know how to pilot a spaceship let alone throw themselves out of the continuum, and why are they all just accepted back into the fold when they return home no questions asked when it's more likely that the Kuros would just designate some other group as the new Black Ops? This is especially true if everyone's holding some job as part of the hotel front. How to change? It could be reflavored as something Twi only experiences like a lucid dream gone wrong, botched magic Or it could be salvaged mostly as is, but it's quite convoluted: shenanigans lead him to the pre-revision 'verse before it fell apart and when the alt universes arc happens he's actually trying to get back to the revised continuity. Folding the plot into itself.

Folding the plot into itself. if that is the only part that is truely difficult.... I'd be willing to let go of it. I have made it a point not to use the whole "mind-portal" thing ever again, though I reserved the right to keep the precedent it set. however, I do want to think of some other reason he's referred to himself as a "Portal Master" since that time.

Chieftain Twilight however, I do want to think of some other reason he's referred to himself as a "Portal Master" since that time. This is easier than you think it is. If someone goes into a rift and ends up somewhere else, wouldn't there be something noticeable at the exit point? Maybe Twi is investigating magical disturbances or is further working on teleportation stuff and he learns how rifts form, how to use one for travel, and how to create controlled ones on purpose.

I suppose you have a point there. I could write in a magical mishap-turned-discovery into the revised bio. it may be a bit plot-pointish, kinda like Edward Elric and his "Portal Of Truth"....

Reading all this makes me wonder if I should just scrap my new girl and revise Rosemary and Louie or work on all three...
I never really got a chance to get into their back story so it would present the excuse I need to do so but I like my new girl too.
I love what you did with Sabe and Maerua! =3
