Cloaked Mystery

@thearcaneaxiom

The issue I would say about using all 29 would be the same debate of how many digits there are in a number system. More digits means more compact information, but it also means more informational storage is needed (you need to remember it all).

29 different metals all with completely unique sets of powers, even if they are…

@princesachronicle22

Yeah, I think it also leaves it open ended enough that we could choose to do something else later if we wanted.

@rae @highscribeofaetherium @princesachronicle22 @beth-torres @keilah-h (is that everyone? Our numbers sure have dwindled.)

Is everyone good with that? I kind of feel that we should just start, because we need to…[Read more]

I just created Scandium’s power: Manifestation.

This allows the piece of Scandium to pull magic energy into a physical form attached to the Scandium. It appears as a glowing white substance with a slight orange-yellow tint. The shape is set permanently after it is manifested the first time. These are used for swords, which are called S…[Read more]

Oh my, I just discovered that Technetium is radioactive. (I guess I sort of knew that, but I didn’t think about it.) That should be interesting to play with. I haven’t decided what power it will have, but it would be interesting for the users to have to worry about getting radiated (although I’m not sure how dangerous it actually is.) Technetium…[Read more]

Thinking about this a bit more, I’m a bit dissatisfied with the ‘mental’ category of powers. I haven’t been able to think of anything cool to do with these, which is especially disappointing because I’m partial to some of the second row metals like Yttrium, Palladium, and Silver. (And then there are also those silly sounding ones like Molybdenum…[Read more]

So, there’s a magic system I’ve been struggling with for a while, and I think I’ve finally got the basic organization of it down, although there’s a lot left to fill in.

It utilizes the first 29 transition metals on the periodic table (the last row are all synthetic. Besides, they have terrible names.)…[Read more]

@rae

Lillen will probably work as the setting no matter what. At most we might need to make a dew tweaks.

I think everyone can choose whether or not to use the characters they had or new ones. Regardless, we would start with them just arriving.

The plot probably needs to be changed. It’s kind of a recipe for boredom, because it forces us to g…[Read more]

Alright, @everyone. We need to figure out what we want to do here.

Any ideas?

I am also still thinking. You don’t need to wait, because I didn’t have a character in here to begin.

@everyone

We’re being slow to decide what to do here, so I think I’ll just create a new thread for the RP where we can brainstorm. That way the party people can go on with what they want to do.

@thearcaneaxiom

Yeah, the more I have the harder it is to think of more ideas, which is quite annoying.

Regardless, I’d say you can perhaps think about how the setting you’ve developed might produce a unique conflict that you can then tie into what a good conflict for one of the characters might be, then move on from there. Although, it may be…

@grcr

I see you said that you may try the other stories… which might be a good idea if you have more to them. Sometimes it seems that when we’re more excited about one thing more than another, the ideas kinda just stop floating/coming. I don’t know if you’re more excited/interested in any of your others, but that’s how it is for me often.

@rae

Whatever you do, do NOT go with option one! I started writing Guardain Angels before I even knew what plot was, and I am paying for it now! The lack of plot in the first draft means my story bounces all over the place, and trying to tame that and weave my plot has created such troubles that I highly do not reccomend writing a story with no i…

Okay, I’ve run into an issue that I should have realized was an issue earlier.

So, when I decided to work on this instead of the Adonial Saga, I thought, ‘I’ve got a fully developed magic system, an interesting and fairly complete setting, I’ve got some charact…[Read more]

@savannah_grace2009 @freedomwriter76 @rae

Looking back, it looks like Sara is up next, then me, then Rae. Correct?

@freedomwriter @savannnah_grace2009 @rae

Oh, yeah, I forgot about this RP! Whose turn is next? I can’t remember the order.
