Re: Ballstuck: A Pokémon SBURB RP
The original idea was that it's
Which is exactly the reason why I want to keep stuff like Pokemon denizen, Pokemon consorts etc out of this.
Spark, I assume you vote yes on Pokemon denizen then?

- Just to be clear:
- Pokemon Bilious Slick? NO
Pokemon-fusion Black King? If someone prototypes a Pokemon, which, lets be honest, is pretty likely, then yes
Pokemon-consorts? I'm against it but it sort of depends on the denizen vote as well
Evolution as a byproduct of GodTiering? No, I am not even sure if anyone will evolve during the session but it won't be linked to Godtiering, especially since not everyone can evolve
EXP tied to echeladder? Definatly not
Held items? Sure, why not, we ARE based on the PMD universe after all. Heck, I was already thinking about having Cyano bring some BlackGlasses with him, it seems suitable
...PP? Definatly not, also, most, if not everybody, will be using weapons, that was already decided
Fainting or death? Both will be handled like it would in any other Sburb session. If you faint, you faint and you'll wake up later unless you get killed while you're out cold. Fainting might also wake up your dreamself. If you die, you can either get kissed, go godtier or die for good
Opponents using actually in-game moves and combinations of moves to attack? Our opponents are Imps, how they attack will depend on the prototypings used, if, which is, as said above, likely, someone prototypes a Pokemon, the imps that will benefit from that Prototyping will probably be able to use some attacks from the Pokemon.

Re: Ballstuck: A Pokémon SBURB RP
Basically I'm on OJ's side for all of this. But I thought D_What's point with evolution with the God Tiering was interesting. I think it would be cool if the people who die on quest beds get evolved and god tiered at the same time.
"SBURB with where the main players are Pokemon" was the premise of this RP and it's what I think we want to continue going for here.

What the heck. I think there was a normal post here but I overwrote it with a copy of my summary post. -_-

It's sadly too late to join this as a main character, unless, say, Drega decided to give it up or something. (Not that I think that's likely to happen, of course; I just say that because he said was trying to spend less of his time here.)
It's possible you might be able to be something a bit more peripheral, though, given how Homestuck had a number of characters with personalities within Sburb itself.

Re: Ballstuck: A Pokémon SBURB RP
You can also join the next session, we already said we'll have another session after this one. But yeah, if we vote against the legendary denizens and have a legendary troll session, you could of course play one of those.

Re: Ballstuck: A Pokémon SBURB RP
Currently we have all these plans for additional sessions, troll-like legendaries and other things which seem to be overcomplicating things a bit.
Perhaps if anybody is interested in joining the RP, despite it already being full, then we could put them in reserve to act as guardians/trolls/ancestors etc. and make plot decisions like those later, once we've discussed what we want to do with these roles? Because honestly some of the things we're discussing are extremely long-term decisions that should be based on how our session's plot naturally flows. For now, I think we should just get the basic details (interests, lands, chumhandles etc.) sorted, and leave things like "who created our universe" and "what about dreambubbles" for when these issues are more relevant to the plot.
Also:
causalitysAscendance(4682b4 hex)
I'll be on PC for a bit if anybody wants to do a warm-up rp chat. (is that something you do? idk)

We don't have much plans for the "Troll" legends besides the fact that they are like the trolls and that their legendary Pokemon. And whether or not we even want to do them also depends on whether or not we use the legendaries for Denizens, because if the Denizens are Legendary Pokemons then it'd be really weird if the trolls are Legendary Pokemons as well...
So right now, we're basically discussing whether we want Legendary denizens and if we don't want those, if we want to use Legendary Pokemons as something like the trolls. Personally, I think that this isn't really plot as it's more us deciding the rules our world will follow and I think THAT is something we should decide before we start actually RPing
That said, I have a little time and I could definatly RP with you as a test. Do you have pesterchum?

Re: Ballstuck: A Pokémon SBURB RP
True. It's just something that seems very long-term to me; I'm happy to decide it now, but it doesn't look like it needs to be decided right now.
ps. on pesterchum as Elegial right now.

I think it's better to decide stuff like that before we start playing but that's just my opinion.
Also, I tryed to add you but I got an error message
THIS IS NOT A VALID CHUMTAG!
Maybe you could try adding me instead, I'm thinkingOddity on Pesterchum, though I suppose I should maybe change my handle to grinningTerror for this...

Re: Ballstuck: A Pokémon SBURB RP
So here is the pesterlog, I fixed my chumhandle, edited out the times, the OOC and some minor errors, I hope I didn't forget anything
- Pesterlog:
- -- causalitysAscendance [CA] began pestering grinningTerror [GT] --
CA: hello
GT: Hey
GT: ...
GT: Well? What do you want?
CA: just saying hello
GT: Alright?
CA: it's a bit lonely up here
GT: Oh, okay
GT: Anything you want to talk about?
CA: company's always welcome when outside your blood wants to freeze
CA: not that you would know about that, Cyano
GT: Yeah, it doesn't get that cold around here...
CA: i meant, since you have no blood
GT: Oh, yeah, that, too
GT: I guess
GT: So, how are you Elegial?
CA: i'm similar to always
CA: my emotions follow the approximate rate of a sine curve
CA: which is still frustrating
GT: O... kay?
CA: i think i'm improving my control, however
GT: That's neat I guess?
CA: mastering anger is the key
CA: many other emotions tend to spring from this source
GT: Are you often angry?
CA: reasonably often
CA: generally its a problem with the conditions
GT: You mean you are angry about the weather or something?
CA: as i mentioned before, it can be very cold up here
CA: yes
GT: Huh, I guess that could make someone angry
CA: the cold also tends to interfere with technology
GT: Have you ever thought about moving then?
CA: this is where i landed
CA: this is where my mother died
CA: i'm not moving until i have mastered this place
CA: and myself
GT: Okay, see, I get that you are upset about your mother but would she really want you to suffer like this?
CA: no
CA: you misunderstand
GT: Okay?
CA: i will not move on until i have mastered my weakness
CA: until i no longer care about her death
CA: then
CA: only then
CA: will i be ready to leave
GT: Sheesh, no longer care?
GT: That's harsh!
CA: caring makes us weak
GT: No, I disagree
CA: emotion is a flaw
CA: i am sure you do
GT: Look, I'm not all that into emotions myself
GT: But caring for people?
GT: That's kind of important if you want to work with others
CA: i can work with others
CA: until i no longer need their aid
CA: then i will move on
GT: Man, that's harsh, you're harsh
CA: yes
CA: yes i am
CA: but i need to be
GT: Why?
GT: What could possibly cause you to need to be harsh?
CA: strength is the only thing that matters in the end
CA: once i am strong enough
CA: once i no longer need others
CA: for support or help
CA: then i will be complete
GT: Okay, see, I'm fully for strenght
GT: I'm, like, 100% in support for strenght
GT: And if you want to be able to do everything on your own, that's fine
GT: Good for you, really
GT: But that is no reason to be harsh to others
CA: thank you
CA: that is true
CA: once i am strong
CA: but for now
CA: if being harsh to others is necessary for strength
CA: then i will happily do so
GT: See, I don't understand why you think that being harsh is necessary for being strong
CA: because then i will have no need to rely on others
CA: so i do not need any to rely on me
GT: See, here's the thing
GT: There is a difference between NEEDING to do something and just doing it
GT: I probably COULD survive without my family
GT: But I don't need to
GT: Getting help from others is not wrong in itself
CA: and meanwhile, as you live with them, you start to depend on them
GT: Not really?
CA: you will
CA: i can assure you
CA: eventually, you may be compromised
GT: I doubt it, but fine, have it your way
CA: because living with others, and sharing your life with them
CA: makes you care about them
GT: So, if you think that other people are so bad, why are you talking to me, huh?
CA: because i am still weak
GT: Shouldn't you be worried that you'll start to CARE!
CA: and lonely
CA: i am
CA: which is why i attempt to keep myself detached
CA: besides
CA: this could be considered a test
CA: if i can talk to somebody
CA: and remain apart from them completely
GT: You are a weirdo, you know that, right? >:I
CA: then i am further along the path to becoming complete
CA: many consider me strange
CA: so yes
CA: i am a weirdo
CA: and i know that
GT: So, what are you doing to get stronger?
CA: training
CA: fighting
CA: i have a tome of great knowledge
GT: Have you ever tried to lift some weights?
CA: called "Effort Values for Dummies"
CA: it describes how
CA: by fighting specific opponents
CA: you can improve specific skills
CA: such as strength
CA: or speed
GT: Uhuh...
CA: or endurance
CA: so i battle only the fastest sneasel
CA: and the strongest machop
GT: Well, I suppose fighting strong guys WOULD make you stronger...
CA: but this is more specific
CA: opponents particularly strong in one skill
CA: such as speed (ie sneasel)
CA: make you very slightly faster
CA: if you fight many sneasel
CA: you become faster than the average rate of growth allows
GT: ...
CA: it works
GT: That sounds really silly, you know that, right?
CA: yes
CA: it does
CA: but it works, i promise you
GT: Yeah, sure...
CA: i am possibly the strongest
CA: and fastest
CA: meditite
CA: that this world has ever seen
GT: So, do you think you'd be fast enough to fight me? >;P
CA: and also
CA: hmmm
CA: you would undoubtedly be faster than me
GT: HAH! >:D
CA: my ev training is unlikely to counter your speed
CA: however
CA: i am fairly sure i would be able to take one hit
CA: and then retaliate
CA: with a much more powerful attack
GT: Oh?
CA: Psycho Cut
CA: a fairly uncommon move for meditite to know
CA: but i know it
GT: Yeah, aren't you like, weak to ghosts though? >;P
CA: yes
GT: Soooooo
GT: You think you could take a Shadow Ball?
CA: hmmm
CA: let me run a program for a second
GT: Huh?
CA: a damage calculator
CA: it gives a rough estimate
GT: A say a what now?
CA: of how much damage an attack will do
GT: Sheesh, I'd call you a weirdo but I already did that...
CA: it appears
CA: that i would either have to surprise you in some way
CA: or use some form of speed boosting item or move
CA: to defeat you
CA: surviving a shadow ball with my low defences is highly unlikely
GT: Kekeke, you flatterer
CA: if i could locate one, a choice scarf would be perfect for such a purpose
CA: however
CA: my attempts a doing so have been less than fruitful
GT: Heh, well, if I ever get one of those scarf thingies I'll give it to you
GT: ...
GT: If we ever meet somehow...
CA: it would be an intriguing meeting, i must say
CA: i would not mind talking to you in person some time
GT: WHOAH! Watch out, you're starting to sound as if you'd care >;D
GT: Shashasha
CA: i suppose my statement could be read as much
CA: and, at this point...
CA: i do not think i would particularly mind that?
CA: oh well
GT: >:O
GT: >:D
CA: it has been nice talking to you, Cyano
GT: Likewise >:D
CA: but i believe it is time for me to leave
GT: We should talk more often
CA: yes
CA: that sounds acceptable
CA: goodbye
GT: Alright, we'll talk later then >:D
GT: Goodbye

Re: Ballstuck: A Pokémon SBURB RP
Nice! My first few pesterchum conversations are probably going to be pretty embarrassing in comparison, as I learn what I'm doing. Is that conversation canon though? If so, do all our characters know that they landed via meteor in the places where they were found? I know Elegial revisited the crater according to her backstory, but Cyano on the other hand doesn't know he was adopted. When Elegial said "this is where I landed" that probably would have confused Cyano.

I was actually going to say something like "What do you mean landed" but then the thing with the mother happened...
Also, I just noticed that the smilies are odd, let me fix that
P.S.: For now, my explanation is that Cyano thought it was weird but figured that it was ment figuratively

Re: Ballstuck: A Pokémon SBURB RP
Nice world building, good character setup and the colours were easy on the eye!
Ironically or not OJ your character's personality was actually harder to discern than CA's, despite the obvious chill! However noble it is to have a complex, balanced, realistic and relatable character, in my experience only stronger, more concentrated (less aspects) personality essences last the distance in media. Compare Jane - who is by all accounts a rather realistic and straightforward person type - to anybody else at all, and see who makes most of an impact.
Personality-development wise, it's best probably to start of somewhere like Karkat. Strongly define and establish base traits, and when that is done, introduce depth and nuances. Makes for a very powerful personality. Traits like 'friendly' and 'thoughtful' are subtle and realistic, almost basic traits, so they're not noticeable; compare 'overly friendly', 'unfriendly' and 'thoughtful to the point of being creepy' - these make strong impressions because they distance themselves from their base traits. Calliope is an excellent example. We know she's kind because she acts VERY kind. John is kind too but it's not really a summary of him because he's only a regular kind of kind.
(That said, I personally could never manage that in a roleplay. A book maybe. But certainly not on the fly!)
