That was awfully defensive. Not you phantom.

Let me make a few more notes to clarify some of what I see and listed as problems.

First, there is not a clear, or accessible way to transition between realms as best I have seen.

The reason this is a problem, is that story lines which exist wholly in one plane or another are exclusionary.

You asked me why it would be difficult for me to just walk up and join a given event. How do I explain moving between earth and heaven, or heaven and hell, without a clear existing mechanic for doing so.

Now, I could pull off some chicancery, and write up an excuse for how it happened, but that would be staged and come off as forced.

If the setting has limits on travel, races, or expectations on the player, they should be clearly listed for reference.

We're actually working on making a way to travel between realms seamlessly to fit the modern HvH while being an addition through the story itself. We also don't want it to simply be a hop skip and a jump, but rather requires reaching the destination for the transference which can also become a choke point for story purposes.

Well, the thing is that we don't have any against travel races or expectations. The RPer may do as they wish, travelling is not restricted (except by they themselves) and races can exist however they wish. Literally, you have all of space and time to do as you wish with. Granted, you will have to come up with a bit of a backstory if they're native, but even that is entirely up to you how you'd like to go about with that. I mean, if you wanna be a Dark Elf who has been in Heaven, Hell or Earth then feel free. There have been numerous RPers who have had RPCs that were hiding among Humans and some that only interacted with non-Humans and hid the rest of the time.

Wasn't trying to be defensive, or an a*****e, I just tend to come off that way when I speak my mind. I do apologize.

As for transitioning between realms, most of our characters have some way, shape, or form of creating portals. Some of them don't even make sense how they would work. Some of it is just total BS, and I've got one of my own characters in mind on this one actually.

While most of the current storylines are in one realm or another they, somewhat randomly, switch realms. Such as Wyndom recently leaving Earth and moving to Heaven after finally contacting who he had been looking for.

As for just walking up I understand what you mean a bit better than before. Less of how it was done and more of a why. Like why would an angel leave Heaven and start talking to some random group of people on Earth.

We are all for BSing when it comes to some things. So long as it doesn't sound like total BS.

The only limits we have on travel are the typical no teleporting while fighting. Almost any race is welcome, and by almost I mean anything you can come up with short of things like Saiyans that just get stupidly strong and can start blowing up planets and the like. We don't want any Destroy of Worlds being made and roaming around.

I actually wouldnt have a problem, I would start off as a fey, the original legends which gave rise to elves, and an unseelie fey at that.

Which would grant the innate ability to travel across multiple planes.

I was asked for my impressions, and gave you some of the impressions I would have as a new player.

Highlighting things that make getting involved challenging. A lot of roleplayers are inherently lazy, if they feel as though a given roleplay demands too much in order to be fun, then they just wont do it.

Cool, cool. It'll be nice to have some new species out there. What sorta perspective is he gonna take on everything that has been happening?

Oh, by the way, there's a Skype chat which is generally more active than this OoC chat. Do you have a Skype?

Lol, well, that depends on what condition the earth is in I suppose.

If it is similar to what it is now, then I imagine outrage, and that would escalate depending on how much worse it is.

I think I found you. Sent a request. Once you add me I'll go ahead and add you to the chat.

I'd like to chime in on how other characters that aren't angels or demons would have any business in their preferred realm. Although the realms are called Heaven and Hell they are both dwellings for "good" and "evil" aligned characters. I'd like to imagine that just as Humans have racial and evolutionary diversity Angels and Demons do as well.

I like to refer to the collective Heaven dwelling beings as Celestials since it blankets all life forms there. I usually refer to Hell's denizens as Demons but I'd probably list them as Hellspawn. This also gives creative freedom for characters and their backgrounds.

For example in Heaven right now there's a small party made of a Fairy, Lycan, Devil, and a half-Angel/Human. Sure, they are together for a specific story reason but they all came from different backgrounds.

So say a character who can traverse planes is aligned as "good" they would be accepted in Heaven with little issue. But of course the stigma between angels and demons still exists so if a "good" aligned demon visited Heaven it probably wouldn't go so well. But that could range from dirty looks and gossip to a full out bloody conflict.

Regardless, I also appreciate the input!

it was simply a commentary, i generally dont disagree with what you are saying.

Still, it makes huge portions of the events, i.e. at least a third, entirely locked, to characters with polarized alignments.

Further there is the major question of, transportation. In terms of function, what stops hell from mounting a direct attack on heaven? Traditionally the earth had to serve as the battle field, and there was no direct transit between heaven and hell without an act of god.


Most of the questions I try to pose are functional, and deal with the actual mechanics.

Things like motivation i try to leave alone, unless their is a mechanical problem causing motivations to come off as contrived.

Yeah, I believe Phantom mentioned that we're trying to make a useful transportation system. I think we're hesitant right now to put something out there without fleshing it out because we don't want people hopping from realm to realm in an "unreasonable" amount of time.

But still, we all agree that one needs to be made. There's literally nothing stopping Hell from invading Heaven. That's part of why there's so much conflict. The war is eternal and Earth is caught in the middle of it. That's also why this current Arc is hinged on the Peace Treaty Lucas and Oni have.

Everyone aside from their comrades are not in favor of the treaty or at least they aren't accepting it well. But this allows characters from both sides to travel from one realm to another and scheme or pull strings. That's the dynamic for this plot. Who do you trust? And do we need to redefine what "good" and "evil" are?

I ned someone else to do something in hell man running a solo show by myself is good and all but I feel like im off writing a novel thats not even getting paid attention to. I left most of the spots open in Garakon's group so I can have some sort of interaction there, as well as inner workings.

Oohhhhh you shell be interesting if you go with unseelie.
I RP as Sabriel, our resident Fairy Princess, only the lore I've come up for her has been a bit of a mix of traditional and that of my own inspiration.
She comes from her own realm that isn't part of the HvH realms but can be accessed by her, or any other NPC fairies I come up with through "gates" in particular places on Earth and Earth only.

I don't like being a lazy RPer…. But at the same time I am, because recently I haven't wandered outside the bounds of HvH…. I blame uni for that.

Either way, I think you might have been in the Skype chat during one of the rare times I've been feeling talkative in it and therefore caught my musings about an old RPers poisons and my theories on how to defeat it based on it being an atropine based poison and therefore needing a physostigmine antidote?
And if that goes over your head because I KNOW it did for everyone else in the chat…
I like to research. Poisons/Toxins/Venoms is my favorite subject, followed closely by the human body and herbalism.
They link into my characters.
Sabriel is a healer who usually relies on herbalist techniques over her magic
Kora is an illusionist and poisons expert.
Both require a knowledge of the human body to have their various skills make sense in an RP setting.

On top of that, I like to make my posts as amusing as I can, especially with Kora.
… And especially with Kora when she's teamed up with Devil's Oni.
They're a match made in lake water.

I can't wait to throw up some sort of Kora comment like this;
"… I am in Heaven… and I am not dead…. to be in Heaven, you must be DEAD, preferably erring on the doornail side and even then, it's a sure fire fact I'm supposed to be downstairs!! Preferably on the opposite side of the realm to Fuzzy and causing him grief!!"

I'd give you someone… But I've got no one left.
Not even a WIP…
Well, I DO have a WIP, it's just she's basically still a wisp of an idea at the moment.
