I would like to reserve a spot, not sure which side yet though. It will be female and the FC will be Shino Asada from Sword Art Online 2.

[SkyCladSaya06]

@Cheshire girl Sure thing.

[Mei]

I also would like to reserve one spot if it's okay. Edit: I changed my mind, my FC would be Himea Saito.

[SkyCladSaya06]

@Mei Yeah sure it's alright.

[Lyx]

I would like to reserve a spot on the F.A.I.T.H. side, please and thank you. Don't know who the FC will be yet.

Hello! Ah, sci-fi. I really like this genre. ^^ I'd like to reserve a stardust member, their FC would be Frey from Fisheye Placebo. It's a web-comic so there aren't really many gifs...


But there the handsome devil is!

[SkyCladSaya06]

@Lyx and Diadem Sure thing.

Okay, heads up for those who'll be using guns in their SEEDs. And regarding equipment in general.

The guns don't need to be realistic but, please include detail. Stuff like one handed, two-handed (depends on the weight), caliber, range and magazine capacity. This will help avoid problems later on in scenarios like:

SEED A fired at SEED B. SEED B dodges, moves away around like, 500 meters yet he still gets bullets headed at him. SEED B argues that the gun isn't supposed to be able to hit that far.

I'm no gun expert myself but, basically that. I don't think a pistol can hit a target that's like, a kilometer away. Take recoil into account as well. Magazine capacity is to avoid infinite bullets (characters going on a shooting spree without reloading etc.) Also, keep track of how many bullets one has fired as well.

As for other weapons, detail as well. If a SEED is able to wield a Buster Sword with one hand, I do expect some sort of detail on why it is possible like, the blade being made from light materials and other design considerations. But, do include trade-offs and compromises done.

Distribute abilities fairly. At most, have two things that characters are really great at, like information gathering and fencing. Connecting talents are fine so long as it is reasonable. For instance: One is skilled with a sword so, it is okay to be able to wield daggers proficiently as well since, a dagger is practically a shorter version of a sword. Being able to drive a motorcycle doesn't mean one can drive a car or a plane. Being good with guns won't mean that the character is skilled in martial arts as well.

Last, even if a SEED is a extension of the consciousness, it doesn't mean that it inherits all talents and vice-versa. A SEED may be good with a sword but, it won't mean that it's user is. A user may be an excellent gunner but it won't mean that his SEED will be one. Again, balance is key. Remember that in the real world, the characters are real people who can't fly, transform, stay underwater for more than an hour or take on gunners with a sword.

That's about it (I think?). I should have placed these in the rules sooner so, my bad.

[Cheshire_Girl]

I'm afraid I have too many commitments in the real world and will have to drop this RP.

Good luck, I hope you all succeed!

[SkyCladSaya06]

@Lyx Already approved your character.

I created a leader for F.A.I.T.H of sorts; if anyone wants to make more than one character, feel free to do so.

Last, scheduled start of this RP is Friday, November 28, 2014. In my country's time zone that is.

[DeathScythe386]

@Saya I noticed the leader for F.A.I.T.H, so...if you don't mind could I make some sort of leader figure of Stardust? Not exactly the leader of the whole of Stardust but a leader of a certain division?

[SkyCladSaya06]

@Scythe Yeah, it's ok.

[holothewisewolf]

This is going to be so cool.

[holothewisewolf]

Is this still going to happen? I hope it does.

[SkyCladSaya06]

Starting post is up! Tagged everyone to alert them. Left the starting post open-ended of sorts.

@diadem Just try to follow your character later on.

[holothewisewolf]

Where'd everybody go? This place is like a ghost town.

[SkyCladSaya06]

I thought everybody had already disappeared...

[holothewisewolf]

.... I'm still here. As always.
