Well. If you transform completely, that means you've completely given into your book, so I would recommend not transforming completely since that's the equivalent of permadeath

@Strat, K you're good @Okami, Is your power just creating dummies or were you also intending to use her snake nail and teeth to fight monsters physically as well? I'm fine if you were, just wanted to check @Twin No outfit changes. As much as I love Mahou Shoujo, these are not Mahou Shoujo Instead of on/off, have part of you always be a plant when in your mutilation form and the rest of you remain human (for now~) Instead of converting opponents (I don't want "control" being a thing), have plants sprout from dead bodies and lash out at other nearby monsters

Not really no Just about any excuse to find a book will do. I mean, Ei found hers in the plot of an eroge

I just realized, I forgot something like super important >_< Added a thing to the mechanics section @Strat Your abilities are too complex, focus down a little more on one aspect. It's not particularly clear, I suppose. The singular "canon" example is "The Clawed Girl," who gets "Claws" from the "Book of Claws." The actual effect also makes her faster and stronger, but it doesn't add much beyond "Claws" Additionally I'm not going to allow "mages," which is to say, a power that grants "control over __." You can have the ability to summon icicles. Or the ability to freeze enemies and shatter them physically. Etc. But something as total as what you have now just doesn't fit And your backstory covers a bit too much lifey stuff, just go over the event that directly led to her getting her book

Either is fine

Drip ~Story~ Welcome girls, Welcome to a world of darkness and horror, right within your very minds. This world comes to you at night, you slip away from reality and into the darkness. It eats at you, consumes your soul, and yet it gives you strength. As you wander deeper you soon find your mind and body have left you. You are no more, only a whisper. Fear. Fear of losing yourself, of reality leaving you behind. You scream and awaken ~Intro~ And welcome players to Books, Dreams, and Bleeding Things (actual name pending). The world I've pieced together here is a simple one. Here in this roleplay you'll play as a Girl. A Girl with a Book. A Book with strange properties. This Book will lead you to Wander into strange dreams where you are constantly beset by shadows, Black. A simple landscape of White will be before you, along with monsters sent to slow you down. But all hope is not lost, there is a way to escape with your life. Simply give in to your Book's power and use it to bleed the monsters dry. The Red that forms their blood keeps the Blackness at bay, for a little while. You just need to live until morning, until you can awaken with a Scream ~Rules and Mechanics~ There's some simple mechanics to BDB. Black slowly chases the characters across White. Monsters bleed Red which stops the Blackness until it dries. Girls bleed White which erases Red. Each girl will have a few stats--strength, agility, and mind--used for minor checks when dealing with monsters. these will be hidden from the players (and I'll do my best to pretend I don't know them). As well as a numeric representation of their sanity, which shall be kept public. This last one is of dire importance. The more the Girls rely on the power of their Books, the lower their SAN will drop. sanchipinchi If a Girl's sanity hits zero, then they are lost forever to the Book's power. Using the Book to spill White instead of Red might help mitigate this... There is an almost certain chance of dying, but there is a way to mitigate this--albeit a risky one. With enough Red around her, a Girl may cast a Sigil, taking a direct toll to her sanity but directly granting her a second chance at life. When a monster kills her, she will revive at this Sigil. If a Sigil is inside Black, it will keep the Black at bay for a short while after revival. However the girl will have to find her own path back to White. Monsters can destroy Sigils, so casting them in the middle of a fight is usually a poor decision. But casting them without knowing when danger is near might let the Black overtake them For the most part, the RP will take place as the Girls Wander. But occasionally there shall be a reprieve where the Girls shall be allowed to Scream themselves awake. While awake one post shall be made for each Girl where she makes an attempt to destroy her Book. (This is the players' chance to provide a glimpse of their characters' life outside the dreams.) Rules: Stick to standard RP etiquette--avoid things such as metagaming and powerplaying Be polite to one another No dialogue-only posts. Please try to work observations and body language into your posts. Seeing and showing how the characters interact beyond what they say will be a great help to this RP This will of course be rather bloody. What it should not be is gory. There may be some getting impaled here or there, but more or less every body should stay in one piece no matter how many holes you punch in it Naturally, also keep sexual content to a minimum. In fact, don't even bring it up at all A tad less naturally, try to hold the cursing down a bit ~Character Sheet and Notes~ I've forgone personality in favor of the good old fashioned alignment system. Personality can be revealed in the RP, I just need to have a light grasp of motivation and predictability so I don't accidentally get someone killed in two seconds Notes: If you have any questions, please ask. I'm sure I missed something >_< I'm capping this at five PCs (not including mine). A slot is only claimed upon acceptance of a character The girls don't exactly know why, but they feel disinclined to tell the others their real names, as though it might lead to trouble Capitalize Black, White, and Red as as they pertain to the forces of the RP. But don't worry about the other capitalized stuff, that was just to show importance for this The time period is ~1940s-50s Right after waking up, part of your transformation will remain--signifying that these really are more than just dreams. Feel free to have it magically dissipate whenever across your post. Or don't, whichever is fine Your power cannot just be "part of me turns into/sprouts tentacles." That's way too easy All the books are named as Book of [something], this and a girl's alias are both based on her mutilation The "actual name pending" thing is a joke ~~~ Death is guaranteed, and the only way to overcome it is to further give in to the powers of the beyond.

OKAY. WE'RE BACK SORT OF So Ima pull this thing out of its grave. Shortly I'll be noping the current chapter and placing us at the start of the next chapter. Any current NPC interactions will have their results relayed OOC Travel phase is out for good. I'm still trying to figure out a better way to inject story; this one is too slow You all have one week to reply to this OOC stating that you're still here. Afterwards anyone who isn't still here will have their character turned into an NPC or outright replaced. Strat knows why the latter is a scary prospect~

This poor, confused Syndra. She could not burst me down no matter how hard she tried

The point is about legislation of equality. The only way for the government to actually make changes is with legislation. The government can't tell you what to think (or, well, it shouldn't be able to) The system in Belgium is their government saying, "The numbers are skewed in favor of men, that's not fair." And thus legislating to remedy that issue. Since they can't make people think differently, they instead force them to choose differently

I figured it out She's too electronic. Doesn't really have the same hextech feel that Ori (closest champ to compare her to) gives off. She almost feels like a PROJECT type thing with the eye barrier thing

Her aesthetic doesn't feel quite right to me. I can't quite pin down why

Bound stuff is innately tied to a character's abilities. Pretty much any change to their abilities can be covered as a perk or action anyways, so I don't think it's really necessary to upgrade Bound items

I like this one better in so many ways But it's not a magical girl Plus I'm still mildly salty that they gave a fancy new skin to Lux right after releasing more Star Guardians

Yes, that would have been a good thing to lead with, lol

Fair enough I suppose BRB buffing Kindle

P sure Actions are just sort of not passive and have to be, well, activated. Correct me if I misunderstood something there NVM Weapon is exactly on par with what it should be for having no penalties The stun seems relatively balanced RN, although I'm not that good with balance Constellar Rain should probably have its damage lessened (As it is an AoE) - EDIT: I should mention, Murdoc was talking about Hiroki's AoE scaling too hard. Thus why I raise this point Celenova needs a bit of clarification. When does it record and what exactly does it record? Like, does it give you enemy stats when you see them? Does it tell you their gimmicks after you kill one? Does it give you their encyclopedia info (name, height, weight, favorite color) after an encounter? I have no clue what Gaze of Oblivion does Your armor should probably just straight up scale with level, rather than scaling with level but only against magic. Less because of balance and more for simplicity Not that I'm one to talk about simplicity

Katsup targeted D not B Which I'm P sure would make the results super different so it's probably not worth the time to change Also is he stunned? it says so in the post but not in the status thingy

*Raises hand* While we're mentioning high damage starting weapons, Gwaedu's damage drops off in long fights

Katsuo - 23/33HP, Healthy Seeing the taller and less emo Homura take a bit of a beating for his sake, Katsuo immediately turned on their shared foe. His Barrier Jacket had absorbed the brunt of the enemy assault, but he still felt a good bit of pain. That was good, it meant he was alive and ready to dish out a beating. He jumped forward and swung Gwaedu full force towards the strange creature, a crushing sideways blow. As Gwaedu smashed into the creature, a quiet, "Thanks." brushed against the shield girl's ears. It wasn't really certain whether it was the silent mace or the prickly mage that was defying their nature to state their gratitude. It wasn't even really certain whether anything had been said at all. But the sentiment was shared by both Katsuo and Gwaedu, thanks that someone else was also willing to take hits. Katsuo makes a Basic Attack on Shadow Beast D
