Why don't you discuss stuff in the other threads, outside of the RP section?

Maybe join in the Games section discussions? Or start a debate with somebody? Or work on the plots for some of your RP ideas? Or talk with us about some of our RP ideas?

Hey, Jester, you remember the email you used for the jester_of_god account? I re-registered you, and the site sent you an email to that email address. Don't forget to check your email so you can re-register as jester_of_god.

So for our characters, we have to select two words, one for our name/essence and one for our word of power?

Romans 8:31 What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us?

1 Corinthians 13:1-3 If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.

I was going to go with three for name, one for power.

And the three combine to make the basis for the character?

We're going to end up with some odd names

I'm thinking of using my own for this one actually. It literally translates to an inversion of "The black fox who is like god"

Yeah, I think the semantics of my name will quite suffice for this RP.

Basically, the entire race has the ability Name-Based Abilities that I made on SPL's main site, right?

A bit different from that but basically yes. It describes characteristics and skills more than anything else really, except for a little something i have planned for later to beef up the fighting scenes

 Okay, that sounds cool. Very nice idea, Jester, I like it.

Oh so we have to pick real names that have meanings?

Not something like, my name is "Tree Rock Bird" and then we get some effect?

Yes.

Speaking of which. Ean A. Cargan

the a being Ach. Actually means bird rock tree, which would most likely translate to the earthbound bird of the forest.

Interesting

I'm not sure I could find a good realistic name that would have a suitable power to go along with it.

Actually that would be great for an archer or character. especially if their word was "Mark" or "follow"

The name Ariel could be interesting.

 Indeed.

I mean, srsly, anything Hebrew, ending in "el", would yield awesome effects.

Let's not let this turn into another Name Based Powers discussion. Just focus on the RP aspect.

What?

There was some sort of religious controversy that I was not party to!?
