So what are the limitations your eyes putting on character creation? How powerful/specced out can we be? Do we have to be an unknown? All the stuff like that.

I'd go into more detail but I'm on my phone and about to go to bed so I'm not feeling too eloquent.

Indeed. Toronto has faced its coldest winter in over a hundred years. gf global warming.


Actually, the correct term is 'climate change.' And it doesn't just mean weather is going to get warmer. What it does mean is that weather will become more extreme - winters get colder and summers get hotter, and the length of the seasons is somewhat distorted and inconsistent. Where I live it didn't start snowing heavily until halfway through December, and there were a couple years where it didn't snow during Christmas at all. We also end up with snow lasting well into March and April.

Not sure why people think Climate Change isn't real just because the entire world hasn't turned into a desert.

Inferi,
There are no limitations to how powerful your character can be (later on, there is even a storyline that basically forces you to be an ultrapowerful hero), so long as you don't, like, blow up the planet. You don't have to be an unknown, you can also be someone famous, skilled, successful, or what have you, but it may require more work.

Oh, ya, np, we can talk more tomorrow, when it's easier. I will also add more notes to the Character Creation Prompt to be more specific.



NotFishing,
I meant my comment as a joke, I did not mean to sound like I was denying climate change, I was trying to be funny. I don't believe in a literal global warming that transforms the world into a desert, and yes, weather becomes more extreme as you said, due to more carbon emissions that empower (so to speak) the weather. The evidence of this extremity is in massive hurricanes and increase in hotter temperatures; the hotter weather and extra CO2 adds more energy to weather, creating stronger hurricanes.

Of course, I understand that weather used to be much hotter in the past. For example, during Ancient Rome, barbarian Europeans did not wear shirts during winter, due to winters being quite warm. During the dinosaur days, there was vastly more oxygen and heat than today.

Depending on how you interpret the data, gives various opinions. Personally, I don't really care about climate change because it seems to be inevitable, but it is important for humans to minimize pollution, carbon emissions, and chemicals. Thus, solar power is the cleanest alternative, though there's still some work to be done.

What for? Law enforcement, FBI, and the military are all a government needs to combat a rebellion. You are also missing a important point the thread reveals.


I updated some posts in my new RP, it is now less condescending, and suggests that you can indeed role-play as whatever character you wish. I should have done so sooner, but I kinda forgot to update the descriptions early in the role-play, but it's fixed now. So, just in case, as usual, your character can always be anything you want. There are also additional storylines that can serve as ideas for more unique, customized storylines.

Science is the act of observing and predicting. If you observe only what you want to see, what you predict with that information could also be considered science.



Ooh, Azi has created a new thread? Time to test it on the space opera criteria, as described by Brian Aldiss!

1. The world must be in peril.
2. There must be a quest,
3. And a man or woman to meet the mighty hour.
4. That man or woman must confront aliens and exotic creatures.
5. Space must flow past the ports like wine from a pitcher.
6. Blood must rain down the palace steps,
7. And ships launch out into the louring dark.
8. There must be a woman or man fairer than the skies,
9. And a villain darker than a Black Hole.
10. And all must come right in the end.

I had some fun messing with your perk tree, Azi!

Colorful Personality: Allows selecting up to five Perks.

Gate-Keeper: When defending a gateway or doorway, you cannot be overcome easily.

None shall pass!: Whenever stationary, you are difficult to knock over.

Hooting: Wisdom has many forms and styles, but hooting like a retarded owl may not be one of them.

Split Personality: Grants two additional Perks of your choosing, and then choose another set of three Perks, and switch between the two sets whenever you wish.[/centre]

--

Personality 1

Ultra-dense muscles: Increased strength.

To the last gasp: Increases chance of success whenever you are in a grim situation.

--

Personality 2

Night Owl: Nighttime is your time. During night, your are more likely to succeed in your actions.

Jaws of Defeat: Whenever you are on the brink of losing, you always seem to find a way to turn things around.

Hardy: Stress and fatigue just doesn’t bother you too much.

--


I think I've arguably made the most annoying perk tree ever. If I parked such a character at a doorway, the plot would never progress!
