Oh geez Yusuke. Lighten up kay? XP I like Yusuke, in fact I like him a lot and YYH was a good series but I can't stand Chen. At all. I don't think anyone can.

Anywho, it wasn't meant to be an insult. Just a statement. ninja

There were plenty of non-realistic characters that were far more balanced than Athena could ever hope to be.

Vahn, Athan, Deitric, Sunstrike, Teira, etc.

I could name plenty more of them.

They all have 1-2 specialties they're really good at and that's it - Vahn, for instance, is an excellent sword fighter and very good at flame magic (that is balanced by using his blood).

Athena? She's a master MMA artist who has super strength (she casually batted a 5ft long log out of the air with one hand - the log was thrown by Lone Hand using his super strength arm), but in addition, she is an expert sorceress, is extremely durable, can generate armor instantly and knows tons of alchemy-related skills.

All of this while being 28 years old.

That is not a balanced character, no matter how you shake a stick at it.

I have a question then: do you see me as a rper you like or do is it only through the characters I play? I want to solve this thing of why people hate Chen but like me when I'm on this account. It's seems like some weird psychological thing to me. I'm the same guy, regardless.

Well, Cog, I can't comment on that. We all have different views on what makes a good character.

Because this has been discussed before.

When you're roleplaying Chen, you become a whole different person. You become a jerk, cocky, and a powerplayer and just not very fun to roleplay with.

Under your Yusuke (which I assume is your main) you're yourself, you're friendly, and much easier to talk to and IC wise you're far more fun to interact with even though I myself have never had the chance to meet you IC other than Chen in Unity.

o.o I barely know you but I already couldn't stand Chen after Unity. I hated him, and that's such a shame because I don't like to be biased or be mean to people based on their characters alone. But you are so oblivous or refuse to believe this but we wouldn't lie to you. :

So you got two options: Drop Chen, or seriously revise him. But thats my opinion and not everyone's.

EDIT: Think about this Yusuke, someone who barely even knows you is telling you this. Clearly there's a problem.

Come on, man.

It's obvious that the character is highly unbalanced.

While Yusuke is a very high-powered character compared to most, he still has the basic concept at being very good at only a few things - for him, it's Spiritual Energy manipulation and hand to hand.

Do you think it'd be absurd if, all of the sudden, got the ability to wield a sword as skillfully as Hiei and a master of psionic abilities (like the psions in the Sensui Arc)?

It would be. Athena's character is an expert in all the things she does, despite being 28 and not having any plot device power-ups.

@Sins: Isn't that what rping is? The mood of your rp style has to compare to the mood of your character. My character is a calm and collected cop who shows seriousness at times to his job. If I'm going to convince people of that, I have to show it through rping. I don't powerplay, contrary to popular belief. It seems it's easier to call people on those things when they show dislike to them. When I play Yusuke, the style of my rping changes, yes, to show he's a more fun type of guy. But no matter what, I'm the same person, and there are people who have gotten on me for my rping as a rper. That is why I just flip the bird in their directions.

Right now, I am Chen. I am still the fun loving Yusuke everyone knows. But lately, I think that's the only facade I am known under.

@Cog: Yusuke is Yusuke is because that's what his creator had made him as. He's balanced, yes, in that he can do what he does: fighting with his fists and spiritual energy. But with Athena, that's how she developed her character. People go by different standards for their characters. From what I know, her and Sieg go around fighting people all around Gaia. To them, their stuff is minor to what's really out there. So, their standard of rping is higher than others. That's why I won't comment on it.

There's a line between acceptable fabrication.

And bullshit.

Athena's character is human. Aside from her ki abilities and what not. She is human.

Athena's character is not like Yusuke who has LATENT DEMON POWAR.. and other nonsense.

It has nothing to do with being "too down to earth"

It has nothing to do with whether or not I think women on gaia can rp fight.

It has everything to do with ignoring 3 full bat swings to the head and... to add insult to it... she claims they make her stronger.

Thus, when people pull stuff like that.. it's called "pulling an Athena"

In Distraction's case.. I hadn't read her fight, I dont know anything about her and I have not said anything about her aside from making the comment to Fox on msn when he described it to me. Where I coined the term "pulling an Athena."

Apparently expecting someone to at least be hurt by 3 full bat swings to the head is too much.

I guess if you shoot someone in the face and they go berserk mode, it is okay.

Only something stronger than a sniper rifle bullet through the skull constitutes someone actually getting hurt.

As far as what kills them.. hell I don't know. Nukes? But that might not even be enough.

---- For the record, I also don't care about how (un)balanced Athena's character is..

I have one issue. And I only discuss the issue when someone attempts to criticize me for how I responded to the issue.

@Crawley: Well, my only concern was that you called on her rping. I still think she's a good rper. As I said before, I can't comment on her character, but even with a powerful character, you don't see her spewing out dozens of spells at once, right? Even though she is capable of high powered stuff, did she use that in your fight? Athena at least knows how to keep on a leveled playing field in terms of what's acceptable or not.

As for the gauntlet block thing, that's actually a pretty decent block. I just discussed this with a couple of people who know about this stuff and they said it's a legit block. You shouldn't use that against her anymore.

Anyway, Athena's a cool girl. I just think your relationship with her is just making you say otherwise.

No honey, you don't get it. You're IC personality changes and that's totally expected. It's roleplaying. But you change OOC as well, you argue more, you refuse to back down in said arguments and don't want to believe you're not playing fair.

Yes. You are a powerplayer. No it's not due to "contrary belief". You may not always do it, but a lot of the time you do and when someone wants to call you on something you refuse to believe you're wrong.

xP I've seen it plenty of times. Unity was just ridiculous, and the best example I can think of it. You may think you were having fun but we weren't...

So many people are telling you this. How could so many people be biased, or be totally off. You're pretty much the only one who doesn't see it and yet you're still saying "No no. Trust me. I'm totally fine." When you're clearly not.

Shouldn't that tell you something? That so many people have an issue with your character?

It sure as ever would tell me something. I'd be rather concerned so many people disliked me/character and want to find ways to change that.
