Bhairyuu's Questions [For Frost]

alright, I will post a rough draft of this concept and the powersets and abilities therein soon. Thanks for being patient with me, Frost.

NP, man. I just look forward to seeing you get this done. You should also visit our cbox some time. We got a secondary one we are experimenting with since xat is messing up. You can view it under the xat on the main page or at this link:

yeah me too, I am steadily finishing the powersets one by one and am trying to make sure they are balanced. while we are on the subject, you have seen my gravity power from before right? If I were to link it to the earth magic, how limited would I have to make my character's usage of this power? And can I lump in metal magic with the earth magic since metal magic is a refined form of earth magic?

- Also is my character stuck with the powers he chooses at character creation for the Onmyodo concept or can he unlock Divination as well when he reaches tier 0?

I'd just ensure it could be countered and defended against. Along with that, make it use energy for each effect and possibly have some sort of aura around it so people can see it.

And everyone can grow into powers, so yes.

well, the drawbacks to the gravity manipulation are pretty heavy since he can't use any other power simultaneously and also since the stronger the gravity technique he uses, the more his speed will drop in magnitude.

Also, he has to focus all his mental and physical energy when using his gravity magic, so, I suppose I can just increase the energy cost to be double or triple that of other more common powers even at the lowest levels (e.g. if a tier 4 fire tech costs him 20 energy, then a gravity tech of the same tier would cost him 40 energy or something like that irrespective of what tier he is as a character.)

oh while we are on this subject, could I devise an energy system for him to draw from? You know just to make this more quantitative since my concept is so complicated to begin with? And if I can have this pool of energy (energy will be measured in energy units or EUs), can it grow larger as he grows in experience and ability as a character?

As for the aura you spoke of, I was thinking it would be most relevant to the AoE techs (Gravity Wave Control, Celestial Body Summoning and Black Hole Creation)

Regarding countering the gravity magic, I would say that any character who had telekinesis equal in tier to my character's gravity magic would be able to resist the effects. Similarly, any powerful air magic user could escape its effects easily, not to mention other gravity users and force field manipulators can ward off my character's techs. So where do I mention what I just told you and how detailed do you want it?

Cool, so he can unlock the divination powers if and when he reaches tier 0 then? That would be awesome to look forward to!

Also, did you ever get around to updating my character's danava concept claim and reserve to have it be Onmyodo Arts instead of "Nature and Metals"?

just a quick question but what is your ruling on technique ranges? I am going to put close range as (0-60m) mid as (60-180m) and long as (180-300m). Would you be willing to allow this or should I nerf the distances some?

On another unrelated note, would it be alright for me to change my character's last name from "Kurokami" to "Yagami"? "Bhairyuu Yagami" has a better ring to it so if you would not mind updating the Shadowfall list in the sixth circle where my character is the ArchDuke/GrandDuke to reflect this, that would be awesome.

I was checking out the cybermind store and i had a few questions.

- first can my character get stuff from there even though he is a demon? I mean the cyberbrain surgery and other such non race specific things.

-i found the prosthetic limb part and i wad wondering can he have something like a dart shooter installed in addition to the other standard mods?

- I see that characters can buy a robotic partner of sorts. Can i have this partner channel my danava's eternal partner so that she can fight beside him and help train him and such?

Also if i can my danava the cyberbrain, the prosthetic limbs and robot partner, then would it be possible to control the latter two with the former? I mean being able to use the cyberbrain to control the prostethic limb and robot partner.

That's fine.

That's acceptable.

I would mention it somewhere in a drawback/limitation section of the power and explain it as best as you possibly can.

Yes.

I'll do that and you can change his name

I was checking out the cybermind store and i had a few questions.

The rest of these questions were answered here:

Sounds good so far, just some more questions:

- wha'ts the biggest range of tech you're willing to allow? I heard that some players could attack from more than a mile away, so i was just curious.

-for the energy pool, i had this idea:

-well he would eventually have an energy pool that is around 3000 units at Master rank. This is how it would develop:
-0: 3000
1: 2500
2: 2000
3: 1500
4: 1000
5: 500

He will be keeping 300 units for basic life support and such so he would that amount unavailable for use no matter what. This is what it would look like:

0: 2700 u
1: 2200 u
2: 1700 u
3: 1200 u
4: 700 u
5: 200 u

Now i thought he could a system of seals in place which when released would provide with the difference between the baseline 100 he has to work with and the functional energy pool at each level. This is what it would look like:

0: 2700
Base: 100
6th seal: 1300
7th seal: 1300

1: 2200
Base: 100
5th seal: 2100

2: 1700
Base: 100
4th seal: 1600

3: 1200
Base: 100
3rd seal: 1100

4: 700
Base: 100
2nd seal: 600

5: 200
Base: 100
1st seal: 100

So would this system be okay with you?

About the poison darts, i happen to have a good deal of knowledge about various poisons, so would it be for me to request a range of specific poisons to be applied to the darts I buy from Cybermind?

On another note, about my concerns for my ideas being taken, I have a solution if you are willing to allow it. I can describe those cybermind products and mods in my character appearance and equipment in detail with everything we discussed as if my character already had them and then put in a custom order for them at Cybermind after my character is approved and ready to RP. That sound okay to you, bro? I figured if it is listed in my character app and then approved then those ideas can't be stolen ooc at least.
