@rae

Yes! You can definitely join our group! I’d love to meet your charrie!

@loopylin

Ooh yeah those ideas sound good! Do you have a favorite?

And the voice(s) could even be @rae‘s charrie if she joins?

@whalekeeper

Food is great 😂

I’d be done for that! Though you’ll have to remind me which of my charries are in that RP because I don’t really remember…😅

@trailblazer

Authority as in God designating specific roles, like the Pope for lack of a better example, or authority in the terms of authority God gives believers over satan and his demons?

More the first, but there are roles given without authority as well. I’m thinking of Priesthood Authority, which is authority/stewardship to lead some group,…[Read more]

@aranel

I also second everything Jonas has said, so I don’t have much to add, but here’s some of my thoughts.

It really comes down to many factors involved with the character’s development if there is any (a static character is still a valid character), the reader’s degree of investment in that character, the impact the character would continue…[Read more]

@jonas

All good, thanks😂

@aranel

Shall do. (Which stories do you know? Please tell me you know Beren and Lúthien, it has the best twist of fairy tale tropes ever, and I will die on that hill.)

I know bits and pieces. Tolkien does a lot of tales of the mortal man and fair elf maiden in the history of Middle Earth, so I get them mixed up, but I know that much.

To be ho…

@trailblazer

You probably haven’t heard much about it because you won’t see it in the major denominations. From what I’ve seen, it’s primarily in the nondenominational churches, and it’s been something that has been brought back more in the past 50 to 70 years. There are a number of Christians who don’t believe the roles of the apostle and prophet…

And several weeks later from last post…..

EZRIAN

They started down the hallway together, the young Kate girl in front and the rest following close behind. Ezrian’s eyes darted across their surroundings, analyzing. His mind seemed to have quieted, giving him a reprieve.

Eventually, his gaze landed on the boy…[Read more]

@trailblazer

Ok, well great! Thanks for clarifying that. So that’s really cool that my faith has analogues to that system, but I haven’t heard of any others that have modern day prophets and Apostles. Is there any particular individuals you believe are called Prophets that you follow, or some particular sect with this five fold structure in practice?

@trailblazer

Ohhh, ok. So what your saying is that the evangelist themself doesn’t have a problem with personally being a disciple, but may have trouble helping others reach discipleship, because they can usually only deliver the message. Am I getting that right? That would make a lot more sense, and is actually how LDS Missionaries function.…[Read more]

@trailblazer

Ok give me a sec… I wrote out a lengthy reply and then as soon as I hit submit, KP logged me out and I lost the post… ARGH! I’m gonna try to remember everything I said.

That has happened an embarrassing amount of times to me, and often with 5 page long rants I had to re-type! It took me a while to make a habit of making sure I was s…[Read more]

@trailblazer

!!!

That’s so cool!!! Me too! I haven’t heard of the five fold ministry before, but it makes perfect sense. That’s actually very close if not identical to how The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is organized, just with some different terminology!

We have a prophet: President Russel M. Nelson, bearing all priesthood keys…[Read more]

@highscribeofaetherium

Ok, that, seriously, is one of the coolest ideas ever.

Thanks🤣😅

@jonas

Cool! I had a similar idea once, but with a smaller gap that was mainly an aesthetic rather than practical consideration.

Yeah, if you have the power to make physical gaps like that, the power in weapons, gadgets, and everything else you could make would…[Read more]

@everyone @power

Ok, next sword! You make an excellent point Power, but what if the sword is something like this? This one is unnamed, and may or may not be unique:

It is a blade with a physical gap half way through. It is constructed through a 4 dimensional bridge, so the space in-between, any 3 dimensional object can pass through. So it…[Read more]

@kathleenramm

Thank you! And I will be praying that your mission goes well and that you touch many people’s lives with God’s word and light!

Thanks!😁

Yes! You would be correct in assuming I’m some sort of off-shoot of Protestant.

Good to know, thanks!

@kathleenramm @trailblazer

Thanks for joining the chat Trailblazer!

And to be frank, as the r…

@savannah_grace2009 @jonas

I thought I’d just mention that the thing about the name being an acronym is that suggests that it is actually English, and not Andromedan. Using the word Unit is fine, because we know that in the world, it’s just called something that means the same thing, but to acknowledge the individual letters in the story makes it…[Read more]

@hybridlore

I like it! Thing is my favorite, lol. I don’t think you should change the name even though it’s a little mean, but it’s up to you. I think it fits her and she likes it, so it works.

Thanks! I love Thing, she makes a great dynamic with Tailen, and is fun, funny, and perfect for not so subtle infodumping🤣

The plot is a little confu…

@jonas

I could join. I’m not sure what characters I would put up though. I’ll skim through the forum and see if it sparks my interest.

@jonas

So is that to say that if it somehow had multiple needles or something it would work? But then the two people would have to walk around holding the sword between them. Or could the evil entity somehow spread to multiple swords that would allow it to control multiple people?

Let’s just said that the physical blade itself is not…[Read more]

@rae

It’s a knife, with a blade surrounded by green mist. It can pierce stone, and is a poisoned blade. It chooses one master, and unless the master gives it away, it will never serve another.

While sharp and will pierce the flesh of almost anything, it can never hurt its master, even if the master wills it to.

It’s a mysterious magical bla…
