So was I. And thank you for your comment, it is definately true. The mods do watch the plots to see if characters are OP however, and if they act OP, then we will talk to the players about it. So even if it had slipped by us the first time, we would have caught it soon.

It was way OP for a number of other reasons, and wasn't getting approved.

*puts back tinfoil hat* "I was right! Wait, what if Meeker has been secretly running the GB's this entire time!" *doesn't take hat off*

It doesn't need to be a PC though. It could very easily be an NPC that you have to represent a guild. In addition, sending a character to be a rep might as well be sending them to another setting. The meetings take so long.

Wait a minute... Is this... no. It can't be. Ark is agreeing with lord meeker about something regarding the GB's?? Woah. *Puts on tinfoil hat* What if lord meeker never was kicked out of the GB's? Illuminati confirmed!! *removes tinfoil hat*

Ok, thank you for the clarification. So with that, your PC's would be The Jackal, Walker, Dusk, Silva, Sarah, and Thel. Is that correct? I will talk with the AV mods about adjusting the character limit. We may not increase the number of PC's one could RP, but add in stipulations for rep characters or other less seen characters. I'm not sure.

That was the first official duel. But the very first duel was Lopen vs nohadon in the duel of the ages. Sadly the alleyverse wiki got that wrong and said the entire thing was about people trying to attack my party island.

First off, I would point out that the tattered one and dirk haven't been approved yet. We will work on approving them once everything is set up. That leaves us with: The Jackal, Darkhold, Alchemist, Walker, Dusk, Silva, Sarah, Wraith, Thel, and Doomhorn. Darkhold and the Alchemist are in the hunt thread. Doomhorn is a special NPC. The Jackal, Walker, Dusk, Silva, Sarah, Wraith, Thel. The Jackal and Wraith may pose an issue. The point of having a separate thread is that its separate. @Nohadon can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe he meant that the thread would be separate like the Other Side of the World is separate. That would mean no crossing over. Why would they need to leave that thread? If you wanted to, you could make the entire plot and its related locations a separate setting. If you want to make the Jackal affect other things in the main alleyverse RP, then he will have to be either a PC or a special NPC. For the wraith, that would be fine with the character limit, but it may also violate the separation.

In addition to what everyone else has said, here is the logistical point of view. Nothing specifically wrong with any of the characters. But you are getting us to approve them for the general alleyverse and they aren't being used. In addition, having 3 players control nearly half the population of the active alleyverse is excessive. The question is, why do you need that many characters? You and darth and me were the three biggest causes of unnecessary character thread bloat. All of us have other characters that we can use, and don't need to post any more characters. As a rule of thumb, any time a rule affects someone negatively, they don't like it. That doesn't mean the rule is invalid.

I know, but some people were suggesting that we have the symbols connected to phrases. Ok, but not a literal blending of magic. Like how feruchemy is a mix of preservation and ruins power, so it could be considered a bridge between allomancy and hemalurgy, but is still its own system?

I could support this. If Innate magic is verbal though, I would prefer it if ritual magic was not verbal in any way. Like if you internalized the symbols, you didn't have to say anything, you just had to concentrate on the symbols during the process. I would personally like it if instead of innate magic being a blending of natural and ritual, it was a third thing. It would be internal and while it would be limiting in scope, it would be able to do things that the other magics couldn't do.

Last I checked, nothing. I would say this. Out of all your characters, 3 haven't seen action in era three. 1 is moving to the other side of the world, and thus doesn't count, this leaves you at 5 listed character, with one who isn't listed on the sheet. If you have a production line, and you are spending tens of thousands of dollars on Quality control every year. Thousands more than any other factory nearby, maybe its not your quality control people that are the issue, maybe there's something wrong with the machines producing the goods. Out of everyone who would be affected by this, there are at least 3 characters that haven't seen any screen time during Era 3. If you have characters that you guys are running through and trying to get approved, and they aren't being used, then maybe the issue isn't that we cant keep up, maybe the issue is that you are trying to get too many characters approved.

ITIAH is the only person with 5 characters. I'm sorry if he wants to RP with more, he would need to retire at least one of them. Why should they want to kill them? The point of a FFRP is to tell a story together. There is no winning, no way to beat the other characters. Killing off NPC's shouldn't be done unless it makes the story better. In addition, making a lot of characters and using them all to go fight in the same fight is exactly what you aren't supposed to do with multiple characters. You should not use multiple characters in the same fight to help one side or gang up on the other characters. Yes, this is the perfect place to do so. I honestly don't know. I think it helps iron out what kind of presence you want a character to have. Like vaders march always lent him an imposing presence on screen, this theme song would allow people to better see what kind of person a character was.

12+ months: You were around when the Ghostbloods were founded.

We decided that this would allow them to remain in the RP and be present in case they were important for plots. The alternative would be completely cutting them from the RP. EDIT: Also, we implemented a rule that only affected 3 members of the alleyverse. One of which was the person authoring the rule.

Ok I was misunderstanding what you were saying. I'm not exactly sure what the innate magic is though? Maybe the innates are people who have the ability to enchant objects? Before we settle on this we need to iron out what innate magic is.

Please remember that this thread is now only for submitting character bios. If you want to debate these things please ask to debate them in the new alleyverse character discussion thread. To answer your question, no it is not up for debate.

Hello everyone, here is the new thread for Alleyverse Character discussion. Here you can ask questions about characters, rank characters if you aren't a mod, or chat about character policy. As a reminder, unless you are submitting a character bio, you should not post in the Original Alleyverse characters thread.

Hello everyone! As you may have noticed, the mod team is having a hard time keeping up with the character submissions, and as such we are instituting a few changes to help streamline the workload and make things a bit easier. The first change is that we are introducing a limit of 5 PC's (Player characters) per player for the main alleyverse RP. What that means is that the first 5 characters you make and play with will be considered PC's. They will abide by the normal rules and restrictions, such as no godmodding, normal power levels, etc. Every character past the first 5 will no longer be counted as PC's, but special NPC's. They aren't allowed to be as powerful as normal characters, and they can and will be godmodded to a certain degree without your permission. This limit won't apply to the new alleyverse settings, which will probably have their own character limit. The second change is the addition of a new thread for characters with a slightly different purpose. This one will be for character discussion and not submission. If you want to receive feedback for a character, ask questions, or discuss a ranking with your character, do it there. The original alleyverse character thread will solely be for the purpose of submitting bios, and getting a mods feedback. If you wan't to submit a character, you post the bio on the alleyverse characters thread, and wait for a mod to reply. No community members should be posting on that thread unless they are asking for a bio to be submitted. If a community member wants to help out with the ranking of characters, they can quote the post and rank it in the Alleyverse character discussion thread. The only posts that should be on the Original Alleyverse Character thread would be people submitting bio's, and mods ranking them or saying that they are posted. - Alleyverse Mod Team

Thank you. This is approved, its well within point limits. There is no way the skills are over 150. If you want an official break down of points you will have to wait, I am sorry. If not, just let me know.

I would like to apologize, I've been extremely busy IRL as well and also just got sick. I haven't had the time to do much modding and im sorry. I also figured that because this was nobodies first character it wasn't too big of a concern. Everyone had a character they could RP with already. @Dr. Dapper can you send me cakuni's bio?

*sigh* I think that then it has too many restrictions. The amounts of innates in the world would be so little, and their power would be above normal, that alchemy would cease to be a thing. Alchemy is just as complex, if not more complex than hemalurgy, and if you limit the materials you can use to a small subset of the population, then there could not realistically be anything there. Discovering that you can steal a bit of someone’s soul and apply it to an object doesn’t happen on accident. Alchemy also just doesn’t at all fit with what we have for natural magic, assuming it had to fit we would need to have hundreds, if not thousands, of people believe that an object had magical powers before it actually did. In addition, I dislike the idea of having the most widespread use of ritual magic having to reaquire human sacrifice to accomplish it, because you can’t steal bits of peoples souls and expect them to survive.
