When that happens, I usually just default to what's thematically appropriate. So, got any advice as to what our first two tricks should be geared toward? Like, should they focus more on combat, hunting, surviving, or be based on skills our characters have as humans?

I know there's no strict requirement to create powers to fulfill a specific purpose, but I would like a little direction. What's your preference?

Well, much like the previous Paradox RP, you probably won’t be doing much hunting (unless you want to...but as always, beware the consequences), and most combat skills would be applicable to hunting, anyways. Also, everyone starts with sense supernatural, so it’s not like you have to worry about having a way to find monsters.

Oh, and this is also a Placeholder. I expect to be able to make a bio sometime this week - Saturday at the absolute latest, but tomorrow evening's possible too. Sorta hoping that what I've thought up is intriguing is enough to let the possibility of a slightly late sign-up slide.

Don’t worry about time. I’m not in a big hurry to get this started (it gives me more time to iron out the plot [yes I know it’s been three years since the last one so shut up], so take your time). Even if we start before you are ready, I’ll do my usual thing and keep places open for people with placeholders.

Even if I don't participate it'll be a fun task.

Edit: definitely participating, I'm going over which of my ideas would be best.

Welcome to party.

Heck, man, it can be the same guy if you want. But sure, reviving Ifrit is fine. I was tempted to bring back Griz, but Wirehair got stuck in my head for some reason.

DO THE IMPOSSIBLE, SEE THE INVIS-...you get the idea.

I've an idea rattling around for a monster, I'll sleep on it and see if anything comes of it!

Sleeping while think about monsters…great. I’m already going the source of nightmares and that’s even before you people have to read a lot of my writing!

...er, once I have some free time to make a character. Still kinda figuring out my schedule now that I'm back in classes.

Oh come on! I did some of my best work while slacking off in school!

…Seriously though, glad to have you aboard, lazy.

I tried thinking up a witty comment for this, but maybe I should just let it go.

All we need now is a DJ and we have ourselves a PLACEHOLDER PARTY!

While I’m not necessarily against it, I’m not sure I’m necessarily for it, either. I mean straight up hunger is a simple matter (eat X amount, stop being hungry), not to mention it’s easier to say what is a lot of regular food and what isn’t. Sanity is a little more…intangible. How does something “eat” sanity? How much sanity do you have to eat to become satisfied? How much sanity does any given person have?

Honestly, I would rather you have a more “mundane” hunger, but if you can give me a compelling reason (and method) of living off of sanity, I’ll consider it.

Always pleased to have you on board, AB.

That’s…an interesting question. Can’t really give any reason why you couldn’t be a more human like monster, but really, for the sake of being fair to everyone else, the transformation should still be painful.

HOLY CRAP SOMEONE ACTUALLY MADE A CHARACTER!

Don’t really see anything wrong with it (since I just gave Batgirl permission to make human-like monster, I guess that applies to everyone else). Just remember she doesn’t start off all righteous fury…just rather hungry.

Overcast (again):

I don’t see anything wrong with it, other than the Maw ability has the possibility of being overpowered. I’ll let it go for now (my character nazi technique is a bit rusty), but please try to keep the bottomless pit act to a minimum, eh?

That's funny…I keep my ideas in my head, not my fingertips.

I just don’t see why you people keep putting up with me.

Steel Shadow (again)

Honestly, this is the first thing I thought of. Except your walking instead of sliding and gliding I guess.

But hey, we had a slime monster last time, why not this time? If you can live with this character after being granted that theme song, sure.



I'm sure I missed something or someone somewhere, so if someone would be kind enough to point it out to me, I'd be much obliged.
