Wow, there are certainly a lot of interesting facts and information I've learned just from this thread alone! But I shouldn't get off topic now, haha. Today, I learned the that the Piano was first invented in the early 1800's and that the very first Harpsichord is still fully functioning after such a long time.

Haha, that would be a nice idea, wouldn't it? Ahaha!

Aha! Excellent, haha! Thank you very much, ZephyrEnyalios! Hmm, I suppose I'd enjoy hearing something orchestral, with jolly, prideful gusto in it's tone and rhythm. I'll go ahead and post an example of what I'm seeking: [video ]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ORMYJRjwucY[/video ]

Gah, I sincerely apologize for my carelessness and lack of knowledge regarding HTML! Let me rectify this immediately, haha. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=61vrA9BRDaU

Name: Richard Gallus Gender: Male Age: 26 Race: Caucasian Appearance: Personality: Gift: Backstory: Additional Details: Only slight feeling in his right arm after years of physical therapy. Alright, that was incredibly longwinded and yet still seems to be missing something, haha... I do have a small list of things that may need to be edited by you, A Happy Elf, as they might go against what exists in your canon. 1.) Owning art supplies for oil painting. I really look forward to this Roleplay and what we'll accomplish in our combined story, haha.

Hmm, I'll give this a try! Hopefully this'll be sufficient for everyone's BASS-ic needs, haha! https://www.youtube.com/watch?V=61vrA9BRDaU

True, I should've been more specific about "Tech", but it seems that Gifts haven't affected the growth of technology to quite a ridiculous degree, since many people hate/fear the Gifted. At least, if I understood that right, haha!

I believe it might be prudent to allow Hukuna his poking before I may or may not ask many, many tedious and obnoxious questions about the minutest details of Brailen, haha.

Great! Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions, haha. I've already thought of a "Gift" as well, but I'll save it for the Sign-Ups unless you really want to know it now.

Power Creep is nasty for Anime in my opinion, but I noticed you mentioned Log Horizon and it's use of concepts taken for granted. One of my friends also mentioned Log Horizon, so I suppose I should probably give it a watch now, haha. As for something I like as an Anime trend, it's very enjoyable to see the other characters besides the MC actually accomplish things. That, and when the MC actually needs to learn from mistakes and work as a team with the other characters to overcome obstacles. It's nice to see a show where the MC doesn't auto-solve the plot, haha.

Today, I learned that the many corpses found on the climb up Mt. Everest are used as waypoints for other travelers... Which I find rather dark, yet convenient, haha!

I'd love to partake in this RP! While I'm never that much of a fan of "competitive" roleplaying, I'm more than willing to give any new experience a try, haha. After reading your writing regarding this setting, I definitely see the potential within the setting. I'm going to present a few questions that I hope won't come across as annoying to answer, haha: 1.) What is the approximate "tech level" of Brailen? 2.) Since there is a school for all Gifted, am I to assume that we'll be teenagers that are currently attending said school? 3.) Is being Gifted hereditary? 4.) Would you like a short backstory for my character (when this is all official, haha) that will read similar to your demonstrated writing? There, that seems like a sufficient amount of nagging, haha! Though I only ask these things because I'm very interested in this!

Haha, I have to say your taste in creepy things is kind of endearing. Oh, I'm GotWala and I'm not as helpful as everyone else here on the forum, but I'm always willing to lend my services as both a friendly face and a good listener. I was actually in Canada about four days ago, though I didn't do much sightseeing. Hopefully I'll actually get a chance to see what Canada has to offer next time I visit, though then it'll be as transit to go to Alaska, haha.

That was absolutely beautiful! The way you described the burning home, the broken glass, Helen hiding under her mother's corpse, and even the description of the blankets in the area really set a scene of disaster and desperation. The fact that Helen could still feel emotion after such a traumatic backstory is something that a lot of writers for vengeful characters tend to just not bother with. Which is why it was great to see that there was still more to her than mindless slaughter, haha. I also enjoyed the brief moment of action, as it demonstrated in pure, grisly form just what someone can do when they're desperate. Overall, I'm not only ecstatic that you finished something that I requested, but also overjoyed by how well it was executed! I'm really looking forward to more of your work in the future, Acquiescence! Perhaps one day I'll have to return the favor, haha!

Hmm, I almost feel like it might be a "power thing". What I mean by that, is that a lot of men feel threatened or lesser because a woman has a better career and/or is smarter. If I had to guess why that's such a big deal, I'd say it's because a lot of guys a brought up with a need to compete amongst each other and it surprises them when a "surprise foe" appears and sets the bar even higher. That and guys are presented in media as being the Protectors and the Heroes an awful lot, leading many boys growing up to feel a need to fulfill those roles. Thus, when a woman comes along who can be that dominant element, they tend to feel useless because they wanted to take care of them, and not the other way around. Though all of this is just speculation and opinions from someone who's education ended in High School so don't place too much stock in it, haha!

Ahh, I was just worried that almost everyone would have max stats, haha. But I guess I shouldn't need to worry about this. I can't promise that I can take part in this sadly, but I'll see about it.

I see, so you pick your projected, endgame Pokémon and then a separate (Or the same at a cost) starter. Interesting! Though I was wondering, if 100 is a stats cap, there are 3 stats, and we get 350 points, wouldn't that mean that basically anyone who picks RU and lower without picking their perfect Pokémon would have max stats from the start?

I too, would be interested in reading this article. I'm actually curious about this and would like to form a knowledgeable opinion that'll actually be useful for a conversation, haha! No rush though, as I wouldn't want anyone to hurry over something like my curiosity, haha.

Hmm, that does make sense for some of them and I know the MC himself usually doesn't see it that way because of the type of character they usually are, but it just feels like those strong characters become almost sadly obsessed with some guy because he "did that thing one time at some point". I think the part that really bother me about some Harem anime is when an ending happens where the guy literally picks all of them. And then the girls are completely okay with that because "His love is too great for one person"? It's something about seeing what could be a strong female character completely lose a sense of self-respect when the MC is involved that really bothers me. I'm sure the are examples of a good Harem anime, but c'mon, the name even makes them sound despicable, haha. (By the way, that isn't a quote from anything in particular, haha)

Honestly, I'd say the biggest turn-offs I have to anime come from how female characters are generally treated. Whether it's their appearance, personality, or role in the narrative, they almost always seem to be large-breasted, one-dimensional, damsels/sidekicks. Hell, it's gotten to the point where I'll usually just refuse to watch an anime if the breast sizes are too unbelievable, haha (I'm looking at you Sekirei...). I am also sickened by the concept of Harem anime, which just seems to reduce women into conquests or trophies to be obtained by some guy who hardly seems invested in who they are as a person. Now I know this forum thread is inevitably, somewhat an area of conflicting views, so I apologize if I offended anyone by rejecting the Harem "genre".

Ahh, alright then! I'll enjoy reading what unfolds then, haha.

Ahh, alright! Thank you very much Hukuna, haha. So there isn't perhaps some kind of non-master character spots that could be filled? Then again, there wouldn't be much point to such a person in this, would there?
