Just out of curiousity--what are your favorites?

Things in paranthesis are my changes.

FF4 (Entire story was a bad fairy tale)
Cecil: Allowed himself to be used by a fiend who took the place of the king and didn't even notice. (Completely randomly placed and timed event to make him ‘good’)
Rydia: Intense fear of fire, although she gets past it, making her less than pathetic. (Raised by monsters, lived in a whale’s mouth)
Kain: Rosa. (His existence)
(Cid): He fought with wooden wrenches.
Edward: He was in love with a dead chick... he also had the HIDE ability in battle. (Spoony)

FFVI
Sabin: Spent most of his life running away from his responsibilities. (Dumbass, Mr. Thou)
Shadow: Killed his emotions... and gave terra the angsty emo-bitch advice about just killing her emotions. (Is father of Relm)
Cyan: Intense fear of technology. (Thou)
(Old man): He was like 90 and Relm was still more mature than him.
Relm: ...The 'sketch' ability. She attacks by DRAWING things. The hell!? (Annoying bitch)
(Umaro: Complete and utter idiot)

FFVII
Cloud: "OMG! I R NOT TEH REEL!" (Had so many chances for some ass but never noticed)
Tifa: She was too caught up in having Cloud to ever tell him the truth. (Back problems)
Vincent: He was an angsty emo goth boy. He was a cool one... but he was still one. (Lost a girl to Hojo, the insane goth scientist)
Yuffie: She fucked over the team a couple times... really, she's not that pathetic, other than the hyperness. (Daddy’s girl but won’t admit it)
(Cid: Beats his bitch)

FFVIII
Quistis: Obsessed with Squall... who was a complete asshole. (Lesbian)
Rinoa: Obsessed with Seifer, who's an even bigger asshole than Squall... who she fell in love with. Also her whole "I can't do anything" bullshit. (Whore)
Zell: Also hyper as hell... also was really easy to make fun of/pick on. (Choked on a hotdog)
(Siefer: Pissed he lost Roina and didn't get to SEED, so joins with goth evil girl)

They're just different really . Attributes and abilities are done in exactly the same way and you have backgrounds and willpower but the rest is different.

instead of spheres, resonance, etc werewolves have rage, gnosis, gifts, rituals and suchlike. Then you have to record your attributes in the 5 different forms...

hmm I guess it is worse. Actually thinking about it mage charecter creation is quite easy considering how rules heavy the game is and considering how simple werewolf is in comparison their creation is really hard...

Lupines have a lot of bells and whistles... now I'll have to put up info packets for them as well...

Man, I go to sleep for one night, and I miss just about everything. Once I find my bearings, and I'm not actually doing work, I'll get started on my mage. Great job so far Dante with all the stuff you "produced". Should be a very, very involving process for selecting my charecter.

Hoho. Is it actually possible in the scope of the game for an Demon to get down to 0 torment? What would that actually do to them?

For the purpose of this RP it isn't possible. It is a very, very long road of doing pure good and finding the ability to have True Faith again for a Fallen to achieve 0 Torment. This will not be within the scope of this RP. At best, you will only be able to drop about 1 point, maybe two. You will have MANY more opportunities to raise your Torment, since it is easy to do pure evil, but hard to do pure good.

In the scope of a long running game of Fallen encompassing many adventures and experiences with 1 character, it is possible... In theory...

And werewolves aren't more complex, just complex in different ways. Every race has their complexities in ways different from the others. That's why I said this RP would be so hard to do.

Ok, I think I pretty much understand most of this. However, I'm curious to know why quintessence and pardox are on opposite sides of the same circle? How do I mark my initial quintessence and any paradox that I may accumulate as they are on both parts of the same circle?

Well, I don't think you need to literally mark them down if you don't want to. Record the number of Quintessence to the side or something instead. I record and give out any information needed in text packets, so you could record your Sign-Up in a word or text document, and just worry about the number of Paradox and Quintessence instead of how that circle works. I'll be keeping track of all this as well however.

Quintessence and Paradox start on opposite ends of the same circle. Quintessence goes clockwise from the little dash on the sheet, Paradox goes anticlockwise, You can store a max of 20 Quintessence at any time, but if you acquire Paradox in-game, it cancels out Quintessence. Lesson: Don't acquire Paradox.

(For the unenlightened, what I'm talking about is a little circle made of 20 squares on the character sheet used to record Quintessence and Paradox)
