You guys! I'ma annoy you again :3

[sky]

Okay! I wanna' RP guys D: I don't know how much more we have to do in order to start this. Pretty much everyone has their elementals figured out...the only ones who don't have refs up yet are Meredithe (who has it drawn out and I just need to scan him in) and Spinny (Need to get used to calling you that xD But also I can help you with yours if you want)

Should we come up with abilities that our characters will start with before starting the RP? Last time we started each with one ability; we could start with more this time if you guys want to.

But honestly, that's all I can think of that we'd need to do before starting @__@ We can RP with the shadows too, but just remembering that they won't actually get their powers until they "take" them from the elementals somehow.

I dunno...you guys wanna wait for a while or did you want to start? I'm not trying to rush you's, but at the same time I don't want to just sit around and do nothing for another couple months xD

[sky]

Oh! Another question! How is this working where our guys all have animal and anthro-ish forms? Do they walk around in their anthro forms most of the time, or do they morph back and forth, or what? @_@ Back on neo, I played Storm and Ryitoh in their quad forms all the time, so I'm actually not sure how that works :x

[dojo]

I think we should figure out their abilities first, but I agree with wanting to start rping soon <.<;; I still need to figure out my shadow but I figure they're not as important (at the moment) so I'm going to continue taking my time with them.
I think two or three abilities would be a good starting point. It would give them abilities for us to play around with so we won't be stuck with our characters just using one over and over. Oh yeah... I also think we do need to set a max number of abilities since all the characters will be learning them at different rates this time. So no one will be tempted to give their characters 8903458043968 abilities. Obviously no one will have to go up to the max if they don't want to, but it'll be there to prevent badly overpowering anyone.

As far as the quad and anthro forms go... I'm just as clueless as you ;;; I've only ever RP'd straight one or the other, but when both get combined, the world they're in doesn't make as much sense. I'm all for a "change at their own free will" sort of thing, so if someone doesn't want to RP anthro they don't have to and it will still make sense and visa versa. And if someone likes RPing both, they can still do that.

[dojo]

Oh yeah one more thing. I think even if some people aren't ready we should still start up the RP, because I don't know about you guys, but I find myself forgetting about stuff like this more if there isn't really anything going on besides planning. Some stuff I think needs to be figured out as we go along. If we get some RPing going, we'll have people checking more often I think.

[sky]

Yeah I agree with you @__@ The longer we take to get it going, the harder it might become to actually do it. I'm fine with starting now, since everyone is pretty much done with their elementals and those are the ones that we need at the beginning anyway.

I dunno where they'll all be at the beginning, but basically I guess the elementals will have just gotten their crystal / powers, or you can RP them actually getting their crystal. You can choose what your specific character would be doing with their new-found powers at the beginning of the story (they could be trying to use them to gain some order in their messed up little world or slightly abusing their powers or whatever). I guess we could just start there :x

Ooh, I like the idea of having a set number of abilities...and if we ever need to increase the number (for everyone, not just one or two people) then we could. At the beginning, since they will have just gained these new powers they're not familiar with, I think their abilities should be pretty basic. The power of their abilities could increase as they get more comfortable with their element.

And yay, I'm not the only one who's confused about the quad/anthro thing xD Storm's size is so drastically different when he's in anthro vs. his small, bite-sized animal form D:

[spinderfly]

R-Rawr Dx I HAVE Des' ref, I just need to like, post it. :C And hope you can read my handwriting. xD;

I'm good with starting now, once I get that ref up.(EDIT: WHICH I JUST DID RARAR GOGO DEVART ) I don't wanna do another one for Dacey. ;

hihi bite sized. I like that term. |3

...that was an extremely spazzy post.

[sky]

I can read your handwriting! And it is a very cool picture too....aaand I just realized I didn't link it to the character list yet, but I will do that! What is Dacey going to be? o.o (if you told me already, I forgot T_T ). But my little shadow-dork is pretty much done now, so I could help you with that one if needed.

Well if Des is a kangaroo rat, then he will be bite-sized too D:

[spinderfly]

Thank you! <3 And Dacey's going to be regular ol' Earth.

I think even more bite-sized than Storm. D: Kangaroo rats are very bite sized.

I CAN TOTALLY IMAGINE HIM GOING "OKAY, THIS IS SRS BSNS." Then transforming as his coat falls to the ground and stuff and a little bitty kangaroo rat crawls out from underneath.

...actually no I can't. I don't think I'll be doing quad with him very much.

[sky]

Sorry, I meant what animal Dacey was gonna' be, but I know already! And a cute dinosaur she is :3

I think he probably is...which is why both will probably be safer walking around in their anthro-ish form xD Especially with the amount of canine-type characters (plus Meridithe is planning on making a tiger too sooo ).

That would be so awesome-cute!! x3 ...which I'm sure is what Des is going for *cough* xD Blah, I dunno, I'm pretty much ready to start RP-ing D: *eyes the elemental portion of the forums* The only thing I wonder about is if we need to make up a few abilities each before we start? I think 2-3 would be fine to start with, and I could totally whip some up for Storm if needed.

[spinderfly]

Well, as far as Desert goes, I thought up one; making a big claw out of ice and using it to attack with, and as for the second, probably just needles to use as projectiles. Not sure about Dace. Maybe she could make some kind of stone armor around herself for one, and then some stone projectile. xD;;

[spinderfly]

Let's get started?

[sky]

Eeh! Sorry, I didn't realize you posted something new on here e_e;;

And yup, I'm definitely ready to start D: I posted Storm's ability stuff on the Elementals RP part of these forums, but the ones you came up for Des And Dacey look cool :3 *has yet to make Tiloh's...*

I'll prolly just have Storm running around doing "good" with his new powers, and then he'll run into other people or SOOOMEthing xD But yeah lets start D:

[spinderfly]

Pfft I almost want to have Des pop up and burst his bubble But it's probably better to meet Dacey first... I get the feeling they's get along pretty well >3>

[sky]

I'm sure his bubble would be easily broken xD And I think they would too *nod*

I dunno, you wanna just start RPing, and then other people can join in if they want? @_@ I could go ahead and make a post on the elemental board starting it, or you could or whatever.

[spinderfly]

Please go and start. x___x I have no brains today. Besides, it's kind of fitting, no?
