More stuff to fix.
And now that I have to do it on my own, I'd really like some help/inspiration to keep doing it.
I mean, I keep seeing TEN votes on a poll, but only two comments/opinions.
Guys, if we're gonna make this work I NEED feedback.
If you think it's a bad idea, say WHY.
That's why I made this entire subforum.
So we could get opinions on what needs to be done here.



Anyway, an idea that /I/ thought was good was making a creature encyclopedia in the archives room.
Basically, it would just be an enormous thread on every possible creature/hybrid in WAR.
It would explain what they are, what they look like, what they can do, and what their weakness is.

I think this will level the field a lot because people will KNOW what they're up against.
Now, this isn't limited to storybook vampires and werewolves.
I'd never say "YOU CAN ONLY BE THIS FOREVER."
That's stupid.
So original characters like Cyborgs or Aliens of a particular race are totally accepted.

Each race gets its own spot.
Plus, it'll be in alphabetical order so no one'll be searching for days on what the ******** can hurt a gargoyle or something.


BUT, this will change character systems A LOT.
Since this would be in effect, the use of half-Vampire-half-Werewolf-half-Demon-quarter-Human characters would be void.
Because not only do Fractions say No to that, but because it makes NO sense.
If you can come up with a Logical story as to how your character became that way, then they get their own spot.

So, if you have a Vampire-Hippo-Nazi-Icelandic-WereDemon that's totally fine as long as you can tell me How the ******** that happened.



I, personally, am very tired of seeing Vampire-Werewolf-Firebending-Elvis-Demon-Shapeshifter-Assholes that are immune to everything because they can do it all.

But like I said, being more than two things isn't bad.
I mean, take my character.
He's a zombie-necromancer-geomancer-werewolf.
But I can explain how it all happened, and it makes sense.
PLUS, I give him weakness and don't allow him to be able to Do Everything At Once.




Now this is a CONCEPT.
Which means it is not by any means FINITE.
If you have questions/comments/concerns/aggravated assaults PLEASE POST THEM.
Otherwise I will just go off the poll I have posted and do it anyway.
If you don't want it, say something.

Or is it really that hard to say "DO NOT WANT"?

It sounds like a good idea,
but there are a lot of variations of every creature, no?
It makes everyone a little different.
Vampires, for example, tend to differ in what hurts them, how much blood they need/want, powers they possess, weaknesses and whatnot.

I think it's an excellent idea. I have a few characters that would have their own spot. Specifically Xegregan. He's an Unknown, a race of spirits that possess suits of armor, and are often part of a Hive Mind. Xegregan's different, because he has his own mind. The main thing about Unknown is that they are practically immune to all kinds of physical attacks, and have few physical limitations (You can physically hurt them by striking at the center of their chestpeice, the part where the spirit resides). Magic, on the other hand, is their greatest weakness. Almost all Unknown (including Xegregan) are incredibly weak to magic attacks (A simple fire spell on one would be like lighting a 50-foot tall bonfire under a normal person. Just an example), and have little magic potency. Xegregan can cast a few simple spells (most of which he's borrowed from Darxian, who doesn't use much in any case), but nothing devastatingly powerful (Like a Megalazer).

I certainly approve of this idea- which could be the ultimate tool for balancing characters, and of course some organization to the Land of War by informing people what kind of creatures to expect.

The idea sounds alright.
Only reasons why I might not like it is that I would have to remember my character's personal story again..x=
Annd that, unless I got rid of 'Husks' entirely, I would have to edit my abilities/weaknesses after each time that character died.


It sounds like what Becca was doing with the Character Bios on the thread.

TONIGHT
We Start The FIRE

@Vanquished Winds (Because for some reason, I still don't know your name. Sorry. x.x; )

Of course there'll be variations.
Otherwise, that would just put a cap on creativity and that'd be kinda the opposite of what WAR is about.
I was actually uneasy about this idea just because of that.
But the annoyance I've had with overpowered idiots just kinda hindered that.


@Darkshadowitachi (unfortunately, same for you. :/)

I really like your character idea.
It's really different.



I'm really glad to see your approvals.
I just wish that people who don't approve would explain why so I could maybe adjust to how they'd like it. x/

Tonight
WE BREAK AWAY.
