Negative_Null Posted September 18, 2020 Report Share Posted September 18, 2020 Quote Queen, I'd love to join but I'll need to be kind of a minor role if I do because I'm already all over the place . I made something vaguely like this a while back, so may I just suggest stealing something from Stormlight? Each gem corresponds to a part of the body (Sapphire for eyes, Garnet for blood, stuff like that) and somehow influences that? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danex Posted September 19, 2020 Report Share Posted September 19, 2020 Ideas to fix that: 1. Babies literally fly in on storks randomly 2. The length of a pregnancy is completely random, ranging from days to years 3. Babies grow out of the ground like Orcs 4. maybe everyone is just an Orc 5. Orc-topia 6. this list had a purpose originally 7. hmm, oh well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get pregnant at the same time as your friend, who gets her pregnancy over with in 2 days, but you've got a child growing inside of you for 5 years.

danex Posted September 19, 2020 Report Share Posted September 19, 2020 I imagine a 2 day pregnancy wouldn’t be the most comfortable though. Literally would just....blow up like a balloon 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theTruthshaper Posted September 19, 2020 Report Share Posted September 19, 2020 It shouldn't be much of a problem if the months are basically balanced. All parents would want something different, which means there wouldn't be many people of the same type. Also, how do you get the power? Just by touching a gemstone? Does the size matter? Can you touch two gemstones at once? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know on the other ones, but I think they'd probably have to be wearing the gem on their person. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danex Posted September 19, 2020 Report Share Posted September 19, 2020 (edited) What if you were born on Leap Day Its 1/4 February and 3/4 March also, if it were up to me, I’d say your character should be the same as your IRL birthday, otherwise it doesn’t even matter. If we all just choose the one we want for our character, the whole month system is irrelevant, it basically just becomes “there are 12 categories of powers, pick one” which isn’t necessarily bad, but it kinda takes away the whole thing that made this RP unique. If we do IRL birthdays it becomes really interesting, because it’s like we’re all handed a Power Portfolio, and we get to make a character around it. Could be a fun exercise in making characters, Powers first, and you don’t get to choose Powers, and then build everything else up around it.

danex Posted September 19, 2020 Report Share Posted September 19, 2020 (edited) We could have it where if you really don’t want to do your birthday month, you get one “re-roll” where you can use a Random Number Generator (or an 11 sided die, but I doubt anyone has one of those) to choose a different one. So it’s still completely random and you don’t get to choose, but you aren’t just stuck with your birthday. Prob Drama or someone “in-charge” of the RP should be the one “re-rolling” for people. Or, everyone does a roll, and then you can choose. You could do your birthday month, or you could do what you rolled. So you still have some semblance of choice, but it’s also random enough to still stay true to the original idea.

Channelknight Fadran Posted September 19, 2020 Report Share Posted September 19, 2020 So...
