    At least three or four of those character ideas are A-Rank characters at least, possibly S-Rank.

    I'm somewhat decent at making characters of all shapes and sizes though. The only trouble I have is STOPPING. D=


    In Other News: Going to be gone this weekend. Got a wedding to attend. Kinda wish I didn't since it would mean more time here...<.<; And also not cramming my school work all into Monday.

    But at any rate, mass deadtime for all my characters starting tomorrow.

    I'd rather not have all my characters sit around and talk about weather, thank you. Especially ones whose character concepts involve getting involved in things.

    In a bit more than 2 hours I have to deadtime to put everything back into the pantry again, gah.
    But for now... I'm thinking of creating a character based sort of on alchemy and a whole bunch of wacky stuff.

    Punishing yourself?

    ...#<.<# No comment.

    Also, Davidson is definitely difficult to play. Even having him appear on the scene proves a little challenging to make his latant psychic abilities seem plausible.

    I may have to considerably rework him over time to make this work properly.

    I thought they weren't psychic abilities at all, but rather an acute awareness of the world around him?

    Sorta...kinda...It's difficult to describe because I haven't really described it yet. <.<;

    Technically it IS an acute awareness of the world around him and nothing more, but...I'm not sure if I want it to go anywhere further than that.

    I KNOW that I want there to be a teacher in PACK who is, basically, normal. But I'm not sure if I want him to be more normal, or for him to have some degree of power.

    :/ I guess the problem is he isn't as fleshed out as he should be, and I'm not sure which direction I should have him go. Technically he IS only supposed to be able to see what is in front of him, and not have "psychic" powers in the usual sense, so I suppose if that's where I'm going to stay with him, the challenge is knowing where that boundary should be drawn.

    If in doubt, start with the minimum power level, and let it grow over time. You can use the excuse of 'leveling up' or 'practice' or 'exposure to the Nexus' to explain the change IC.

    Sounds reasonable enough. I was basically going to do that, though when it becomes an important question to answer IC what his current power level is, it becomes a slight problem.

    Re: Flour beetles; technically they're weevils, which is a family of beetles.

    Re: Nephrim; she was originally intended to be a one-shot character, but I wasn't expecting Wenomir to release her when he found her powering a bunker-fortress in a device draining her life-energy. Since Phantom had recently opened the AMEN Audition Hall at the time, it seemed a good place to put her. I think she's the only person still active who signed up there.

    Very much this. I don't like playing characters that can't scale. Usually.

    I was actually being slightly facetious. But as Moff C. there says, the key is scaling. (Or for those really super-powered characters, it's called "giving the poor schmuck a fair chance" ). Within reason, a character shouldn't be supremely more powerful than a character they're engaging with - they should be able to "scale down" to a more reasonable balance for combat.

    Hmm...

    I will keep this in mind. Matthew is mostly a "Normal guy" though, so the number of major battles he will ever get into should be pretty small.

    Unless you unlock his...hidden potential.

    WATCHTOWER is there to fight all major threats to the NEXUS. But only the major ones, they don't bother with, say, muggers and thieves. They're there for demonic invasions, apocalypses, and major evilness happening.
