Okay guys lets just hear it. Lay it all out on the table. I'm tired of getting tid bits of information here and there about concerns and problems that people are having. If you have a problem bring it to my attention and I will do my best to resolve it. I know we have a lot going on in this rp and there are FAR to many powerful people but is it really fair for one person to be powerful and deny the next? I can't please everyone but we can at least try to get to some sort of middle ground.
So please, for the love of tea cakes, list your problems, concerns, issues, ideas, anything and everything here. Now. I will admit up front I am not the most patient person in the world and up front I apologize, I will do my best. I just want this to work and for people to be happy with the characters they have instead of being restricted. I admit its getting a little out of hand but I'm sure with some help from all of you we can work it out. If not, I'll have to decide from there if this project is really worth carrying out further or if it would be in everyone's best interest for me to scrap the whole thing. I would really hate to do that, I know a lot of people had things planned out and wanted to do a lot more with their characters, but I'm seriously at my wits end people and we're not even over 30 pages in.
Also this is a thread for everyone to post, only constructive criticism and helpful info go here. If I catch anyone being rude, cheeky, sarcastic and in general unreasonable there will be problems and more than likely an unhappy ending. So please think before you post, don't aim to be a jackass.

My only complaint is that there aren't enough chinchillas. Those little bas*ards would soothe all of your woes, Mitsu. Look into their half-bunny, half-hamster, half-mouse eyes and you can feel the love. FEEL IT!
In all seriousness, though, I agree with Hitsu. This isn't just a story. It's a living story that I'm proud to be a part of. I've already grown attatched to several characters, and I would hate to see it end. Anyone is more than welcome to PM or e-mail me with their complaints if they feel the need for an intermediary or even a desire for anonymity. I can sugar coat things like you wouldn't believe. And Mitsu has the option of kicking me in the genetalia. I'd take that. For you. But only if it doesn't get out of hand. I would like the option to have kids some day.

I'd hate to see this roleplay kark it to before we're all had a chance to have some fun with it x.x; cause it's been ages since I've been in any full on serious roleplay. At the moment, my main concern is that my character will just sit on the sidlines and do nothing/look awkward. but that's nothing big since it's only the beginning and nothing major has happened. Only other thing I can think about is I hope I don't end up doing something down the track that makes everyone WTF however, I can see some problems that could arrise as we get into this roleplay. We don't have a set plotline, and everyone has their own ideas they want to see happening. And as mitsu has said everyone is getting only parts of the story from others. When things start happening, we could end up with 5 major plotlines all happening at once and alot of confusion. Also, one more thing. When actual fighting starts, can we not have instances were someone's able to complety kick the s**t out of someone, and when they retaliate, reasonably, someone else tells them they can't because "it's not physicaly possible for them to do that?" I've had an instance were I was fighitng some ones character, tried to flip in the air, and then someone else told me that the human body couldn't do that, so my character ended up getting her a** whooped. and when I mean "it's not physicaly possible for them to do that" I don't mean they try to do something their character just can't do, but rather something that may not be possible in real life what I'm trying to get to is:

XD yeah I can see that, just no super Jedi moves and I don't think we'll have a problem. Not many of these characters are human anyway, so anything the human body can do really doesn't apply 3nodding

I should be blow drying my hair right now, but, uh....
I want a stricter regulation on the species -- it clearly said that certain types were rare, and I think people should audition before they are given the go-ahead. Granted, we're all BUH-DEE-BUH-DEE here, so the vote/decision would be biased, but...you know, at least it's being watched, right?
Poke stole what I was going to say, with much awesomer words. Kark it? Wtf, ilu.
I was worried about Yuval too (I need to post, don't I...?). He's the only villain as of the moment - active villain - and I'm afraid when it comes down to fighting he's going to get his a** royally handed to him; he doesn't use magic, and he's a dog. While that provides more than it's fair share of hilarious mental images, well. You know. Who the hell would be scared of him?
Maybe if he like, STARED at the person....
...then again, his job doesn't entail provoking EPIC BATTELZ
It should.
FOR GREAT JUSTICE! *flies off to dry her hair!*

I agree with Sukku, it seems that the rarer species seem to be a little too easily attained. Also it seems whether or not a person uses their rarer species in a god modely type way the basics of those species if just normal other characters would never stand a chance against. There is bound to be some conflict some time just because thats part of rp, when a character is hugely powerful whether they play them killing people or not the capability is still there. Peggy's Moriko is a good instance of what I think should sort of be a standard with player characters rare species. Where the rare species is inexperienced so they would be just about as powerful as everyone elses characters with over all power. I know the stats charts are there to help but if a cat were to get into a fight with a dragon, really, the dragon would most likely kick it's a**. However if the dragon were inexperienced or had a curse on them or something to bind some of their powers, then the cat may stand a chance. I don't know if I'm the only one that think's this might be a problem XD; Just thought I'd mention it.

Kobold Kyo And Mitsu has the option of kicking me in the genetalia. I'd take that. For you. I agree with everything you said. Everything but this. It is madness. Did you consult Katie before putting this option on the table? D8 poke mattix Also, one more thing. When actual fighting starts, can we not have instances were someone's able to complety kick the s**t out of someone, and when they retaliate, reasonably, someone else tells them they can't because "it's not physicaly possible for them to do that?" I've had an instance were I was fighitng some ones character, tried to flip in the air, and then someone else told me that the human body couldn't do that, so my character ended up getting her a** whooped. Just to clarify, EVERY violent act that has happened so far in this RP has been planned out and agreed upon with all involved parties before the posts were made. And further, for the record, when it comes to my characters I promise you that I will NOT do anything potentially harmful or what I might see as disagreeable before asking those who would be effected by it. If I ever do, I will change my posts. You just have to ask. As for the flipping thing, I beg to differ. I have a friend who could do that sort of thing on a whim, so long as he had enough space above him to keep his feet from hitting when he jumped. Standing straight. No running start, nothing to help him at all. You'd be surprised what the human body can do when you actually know how to use it. XD Sukkubus I was worried about Yuval too (I need to post, don't I...?). He's the only villain as of the moment - active villain - and I'm afraid when it comes down to fighting he's going to get his a** royally handed to him When it comes to the physical fighting, though... He's trained in that, isn't he? I can only speak for myself when it comes to how I fight in RP, but Yuki isn't going to be excessive in his magic use. He'd have to be very angry, and even then... Unless someone is dead I don't see him trying to kill another humanoid. He just doesn't have it in him. With Hitsu... I doubt much needs to be said. She'd just be curled up somewhere crying until it's all over. Or like, throw a rock or something. Hitsu: Take that! D8 *throws pebble* Yuki: You're NOT HELPING! D< Also, I guess this would be input on my part... I personally don't want to see any battles including one person against an entire horde, two against one would be the maximum I'd want to think about. XD Unaru I know the stats charts are there to help but if a cat were to get into a fight with a dragon, really, the dragon would most likely kick it's a**. You tend to forget that Hanse is a half-breed. He's not AS powerful as a full blooded dragon, but yes he is powerful. Yuki was drunk. Possible future fights won't be nearly as one-sided as that one was. And yes, I know that no names were mentioned... But... It was a bit too specific for me to not read it as I did. XD

Understandably noted, as of yet we really only have one dragon half-breed in play and only one fully dragon in the works. Who has yet to appear and I'm still working with Kyo on his current character that he has submitted. It’s an on going process. But as long as everyone is REASONABLE, and I do stress that word because beheadings will occur otherwise, there shouldn't be too much of an issue, at least that is my hope though I fully expect that hope to be dashed against the sharp rocks of reality.
Now it is my belief, but call me crazy, that dragons are generally massive creatures that could crush a human (or anything remotely human-like) like an ant. So in your example if you were to honestly think about a dragon and a cat being in a battle its really unreasonable to think the cat would win in strength and maybe even magical power (Even if the dragon is inexperienced). It’s a novice idea to put restrictions on those species as to what they could do but then again is that really fair? So to be fair I would have to do that with EVERYONE. Which is where the stats come into play. Where one character excels another may fail so you use your strengths to your advantage. I wanted to keep everyone fairly close, but of course, some characters are going to be better at some things than others.
Now I do admit a few of you *eyes a few people* I think tend to over estimate your character's abilities and are not truly thinking about what is realistic and what is unreasonable (I know what your thinking "But Inuuuu its fantasy"). I know you guys want to have strong characters and be formidable opponents but I don't think a lot of thought is really going into the characters you’ve created. I let it go to begin with and it was really stupid of me to do so. I didn't want to be a total b***h and tell people 'No you can't make the character you created do that’ but I do see where some of this can become a problem in the future.
As for the stat sheets this was exactly what they were for but people are taking them a little out of hand. To a point I don't think a few are even reading what the stats are really about, they are just filling out what sounds good to make their character the best. It doesn't really work out that way. I had hoped it would have helped keep things fair, especially since everyone has 75 points to use. It’s the same for EVERYONE. But its beginning to seem like a total waist of time and effort.
I guess basically what I’m banter and mumbling on about is I didn’t want to tell people right off the bat, NO, when in reality I really should have. I guess to a point I really am a coward still when it comes to confrontation. Makes me emoish and want to stab things. So one of a few things can happen. None of which I’m sure will go over well. If there really and truly are concerns about characters that have been submitted / approved / in play and it appears as if their abilities are unfair then a couple of things can happen. One, I can go through EVERYONE’s character sheets again and highlight what I believe to be unreasonable and they will not be able to use/have/contain whatever it is. This also includes stat sheets. There will be no if, ands, or buts about my decisions though, they will be final.
The other thing that could happen is we can work with what we have, let people create their characters how they want (Within reasonable bounds *Tired of me saying this yet?) and people can be creative and use their advantages to their favor and use their opponents disadvantages against them as well. There is more than one way to skin a cat as they say. You don’t have to be super strong, super fast, or even super witty to win a fight. Creativity is really the key factor, something unexpected. Let me know what you guys think, I’ll make a poll. From there we will see what happens.

I was actualy thinking about past things when I mentioned that hitsu ^^; sorry if I sounded like I was saying anything about you and skyes roleplaying. I know that everything in the rp so far as been talked about and agred with others before it was posted. What I had in mind was a rp scene going on and then someone elses comes in and says "lolz YOUR DOING IT WRONG!"
sukku: when I think of yuval I think of a person who knows not to pick a fight with the wrong person, so it would be hard for yuval to actualy get into a situation where he wouldn't be able to get out of. Plus he has good intelegence, so he could think his way out?
unaru: poke is also a half breed. And the only way for poke to bring out her full abilites is if she was fighting in water, so it will be a rare sight to see since I doubt many people would be dumb enough to fight her in her own element.
plus, just because something is rare doesn't mean is powerful. In alot of fairy tales, dragons are taken down by just one guy with a sword and sheild. And mermaids just sit there and look sexy. I don't want to see lots of characters like peggy being made just to fit the rules, cause her character is (no offense) the weakest character in play (I'm going by the fact she used 58 stats and not the full 75)
I'll aggree with sukku as well. Theres already 3 dragons in play (peggy and skye). I wouldn't mind seeing a limit on how many rare characters there can be in the roleplay.

Kyo is not a dragon. Kyo is a human, though possessed by demons. There are two characters with dragon blood; Hanse and Moriko.
For the record, as I already told a couple of people... There are going to be no more dragons or demons in the RP. It's been listed in the thread with the character forms for over a week now. The only ones that will possibly appear will be random NPCs (which may or may not even happen) that won't be sticking around; Hence NPC.
