Fractured world rp (Name pending) comments/planning thread!!!

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

I just don't like the idea of pulling a being from its natural habitat without warning or permission. But it also, in my opinion, is something that doesn't fit for this world as it's supposed to be a postapocalyptic version of a world like ours.

The neutral side is smaller society filled with people who disagree against both sides onslaught of each other. However because the are few in number they have few resouces for their tech and magic can be harder to strengthen or control. There are a few that rise above these set backs being the Four Aces. With few exceptions some of the people in the neutral side can use a mix of magic and technology however they have the set backs of both being hard to manage there mana and the fact tech needs repairs now and then.

Ripping another being from their home? Srsly, Dryad? Srsly?

 Isn't that a bit dramatic?

I could see if you meant like a fairy or an animal or something, but most beings that are summoned don't have homes, so much as they have lairs.

Like Djinni, or demons or extradimensional beings or a spirit animal. Srsly. They're immortal. I doubt they mind.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

*sigh* Just read the post I made before this.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

If I participate, I hope the magic is well-rounded, like in Harry Potter or something like that.

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

For the most part, yes. There will be a few who can utilize multiple schools of magic, but that's rare.

I read a book once about a 5000 year old Djinni.

He got summoned by a child prodigy and forced to steal an amulet from a nasty magician.

Djinni in that book series didn't have reality warping, and were basically middle-class when compared to other beings.

In fact, the Djinni in question is more known for his luck and cleverness than his raw power and skill.

He didn't like being summoned because he was ripped from his home and forced into unwilling slavery to a person in a world that caused him physical pain to exist in.

He got better, though. And the kid redeems himself in the end.

[Zaleramancer]

I wish more people would use complex, interesting systems of magic.

I love those. <3

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

Whether it is dramatic or not, I don't care. My point still stands and there will be no summoning in this RP. I do hope to make magic well-rounded as well.

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

How much genetic engineering is allowed? Resident Evil style Bio-Terror "This guy just grew eyes and tentacles all over his body" viruses, or more subtle things like man made diseases and such?

[Celadon's Penultimate]

Well, djinni are enslaved anyhow. It's the reason that many of them get back at their masters by tricksy wish-granting.

But, honestly, if you wanna get technical, any kind of magic that makes people do what they want to do, disrespects the dead, deceives the mind or the senses, or otherwise do things folks wouldn't like is immoral and should not be used.

[The Junkyard Cat]

Ya so still looking for a GM for tech side. This Rp is gonna be a lot to manage anyways.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

Whatever, I'm not concerned. I don't even use it myself, but for entirely different reasons (like the fact that anytime I summon, folks make it out like I'm doing a cop-out or trying to pull some Deus ex machina out of my nose). But, I'll have you know, any creature I summon is perfectly willing to come to my aid, so I get your stance on summoning.

But if you use it correctly (with good intentions and good morals and such), such a dramatic stance doesn't need to be taken.

Either way, though, it was just out of curiosity I asked. I had no intention of using it, if I did join, so don't think I'm defending it or anything. it was just for curiosity's sake.

[The Junkyard Cat]

On the tech side the citizens don't approve of bio-weapons. So it isn't a main thing they focused on officially. I doubt diseases would affect magic too much. Also I'm sure we are gonna have a zombie event during the fall season.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

I agree.

I tend to categorize many of the things that make up my world Celadon. Spells, classes, creatures, etc.

Speaking of which, I need to start on the Book of Botany (or whatever name I give my Book of Celadon literary annex entailing plant species).

[Zaleramancer]

Not in the setting.

In that setting, they are the perfectly free members of another dimension. Magic drags them into this world, but they don't like it.

[Zaleramancer]

Blegh.

If no one else does, I could.  I know a fair bit of sci-fi.

Of course, I'm still uncertain as to the actual level of technology.

Perhaps a description of your average fighter's weaponry?

[Zaleramancer]

Now I'm going to have to fix all my grammar errors in that thread.

Y U SO STUPID PAST ME?

[Celadon's Penultimate]

Well, see, yeah, in THAT setting it would be wrong.

But in most mythology summoning is either by wager, by a favor or by otherwise free will. I'd NEVER force Gaugamon to do anything for me that he didn't want to do. Or the Elementals. Or any other beings I summon.
