For the First Division Faction Skill, could you give a more precise definition of "appearance"? More specifically, would the sender have to hold the image of the receiver's face in their mind as they sent? (Unless they were sending it to a location, of course.) During an average day, would the gates of Seireitei be open? (Though guarded, of course.) What are the guidelines on inventory and RP pools for associate characters? There was some talk about them sharing item pools (including RP) but there is no mention of anything in akatokiyami.proboards.com/thread/5775/secondary-associate-characters

The definition of 'appearance' we are using, as given by The Free Dictionary, is "the outward or visible aspect of a person or thing" - in other words, what they look like. Therefore, the creator of the Hell Butterfly must know what the intended recipient looks like or, failing to specify a single target, the appearance of the location. Given that the definition of the ability goes on to read "the image of the recipient or place is embedded into the hell butterfly upon creation and that is what the winged messenger looks for when delivering its contents", it should be expected then that what the intended recipient looks like must be consciously known. Honestly, I don't know how you want me to define 'knowing what somebody looks like'; I'm afraid to say that is the simplest definition of the term I can adequately give.
It's been stated before, I believe in this very thread, that the gates are open and guarded and visitors are asked for reasons for entry.
The thread will be updated with relevant information when I have it written out, but no, they no longer will be sharing RP - and I don't believe they were ever going to share Inventory - due to numerous opinions regarding the ability to remove the integrity of the RP Point System.

Well, to provide more info on my first query, I was asking in reference to Kabelja's prosopagnosia, whether or not it would be reasonable to give her that inability, and if it would work with characters with more 'distinct' appearances, such as Chishio with her face markings. Although now that I think about it, the same issue arrises with characters who obscure their faces, such as with a mask, and to what degree they can cover themselves before a member of the First Division who hasn't seen them without coverings cannot send them a Hell Butterfly.
As per the second, it probably was, now that you mentioned it, but it's a long thread and the search feature wasn't working. And some people had been Rping to suggest that shut was their deafault state.
Thank-you for your answer to the third, and indeed all my questions. I'll add the field to my character registrations tomorrow.

Seems to me it's up to you whether or not "not being able to recognize a face" defines "cannot determine appearance via recall", though I would note if there are markings on the face, probably a disease that makes facial recognition impossible wouldn't recognize them? Basically, if somebody doesn't know what somebody else looks like, it seems like the answer pretty much determines itself.

Okay, my character that I'm making has an addiction to the color red which results in his never-ending adoration for blood mainly because of it's color. Well, I was wondering, if I could alter the color of his uniform to that of the color blood red or crimson? My character would totally love it and would probably offer twice as much loyalty than he would. Because well, he loves red. xD

Are we allowed to make gold transactions with other people, for example, paying someone for information or in the case of my character Nero, running a delivery for another person and receiving payment for it? As long as it's between players and not actually just using a random NPC to try and gain a crap ton of money unfairly.

Shinigami uniforms are black, put simply. Additions are acceptable, as well as simply not wearing portions, but changing the actual color is not something the character would be registered as doing. Of course, if the personality states he simply has to wear red and at every opportunity wears red, that is something that would be addressed in character and in threads.
Yes, characters can trade inventory items. There has never been a condition against this.

Also, why is the board members-only? Doesn't that hinder people who are looking to see if the site is for them? ESPECIALLY if we don't talk about the game system in cbox, apparently?

I suggest doing what is in the character's nature, and if it is not in your character's nature to keep their inventory on them, then it is not something they should be much concerned about, I wager.
We don't ask questions in so far as "why is x not y", informing others of the system is well within the rules. As to why, because the time hasn't been taken to consider doing otherwise.

Knew there was something I forgot to ask the other day...
Am I right in thinking that there are Shinigami working in the buildings of divisions not their own? Like, for example would there be members of the Second division stationed in the fifth to deal with the inevitable bumps and scrapes that occur during spars, and don't require the facilities available in the Second Division Building? Or Fourth providing general security everywhere? Or First as a sort of Hell Butterfly telephone box?

Consider me belligerent, but the members-only decision was made when we upgraded to v5, so let me reword my question: What was the reasoning behind the decision to make the board members-only and what sort of things would move it towards being the way it was before the upgrade? As for inventory, that doesn't quite make sense from an OOG standpoint. Can Jaga give his gold away to a Rukon? How would that make sense if he doesn't keep gold (because he's a worm) but his character sheet has it? At some point, I feel, the OOG has to take priority over the IG.

The reasoning is lost on me at the moment, because my memory fails to reach so far.
Jaga can give such things away, assuming of course he and the Rukon Citizen had conversation, and also he had his items on him! In which case, if the desire is to give away the coins, I suggest stating that he as retrieved his coins and so desires to give them away. It's only as simple or as difficult as you want to make it, so if you want it to be simple, my recommendation is to stop making it difficult!

If there are, that is entirely their business, not mine - what characters do, where, and with what justification, is the characters prerogative.

Would it be at all possible to get the definition of 'free form ability' that the site uses?
|
|
|
Post by Deleted on Jun 30, 2013 3:50:31 GMT -8
Off the top of my head, the definition is roughly thus: one cannot say "Wind Control" Is their power, and then list they control the wind freely within x range, if they even list a range, because this is an ability without real definition, and thus makes literally anything that can be justified as controlling 'wind' possible.
Summarily, the point is that the ability has to have a specific effect: creates a blade of wind of x dimensions that travels y distance, creates a stone golem of x size to do y, be Y move about or just stand still and take hits. Now, that whole move-about-golem thing could be argued either for or against, that'd be the kind of thing to leave for the registration.
I'm honestly not the best when it comes to making up examples, so if this doesn't exactly explain or cover what you're looking for, feel free to give an example of what you have in mind and I'll try to explain, presuming it falls into the definition of 'free form', precisely 'how' it falls into that definition.

For Lard, my hope is to be able to allow her to develop her ability through stages, like how it was before the reset with the ability control skill. I'm not registering it right now because I want to make sure that the powers would actually suit her style, but want to just get an idea if that's entirely possible to have skill A develop over the course of role play without having to use up her three slots for the same thing. As such. I'm not sure it this idea breaches the free form rule or not, which is why I was looking for the definition.

Well, just build your character up like a Shinobi? I mean there are options for such as you do have the freedom to make your Rukongai citizen as basically anything you want, so why not just give that a whirl?

As such. I'm not sure it this idea breaches the free form rule or not, which is why I was looking for the definition. As Cain stated, free form is an ability that allows for multiple or endless forms/functions, such as general wind control or an ability that claims you can make any weapon via reiatsu. As for the other issue, you would need to register the ability as it would be in its final form. You can of course RP it as a less stable/weaker version and work the character up to using its full potential via RP if that's the route you want to take.
@james - Feel free to start a Naruto RP in the Mini-RP board or look for existing mini-RPs that strike your fancy if Bleach isn't doing it for you.

How do size and weight factor into our tiers?
For example:
Could I make a 500lbs+ character with a speed of 4/4 who can outrun an otherwise significantly less weighing individual, say 150lbs, with a lower speed, say 1/4?

Now while I'm not 100% sure, I would assume general speed as in how fast you can react wouldn't be effected, as for how fast you can run I would apply common sense. If you're like 5'4" and 500 pounds you're not going to be like a super speedster. That said I'm not 100% sure, I'll double check this and get back to you with a more accurate answer later today some time.

Alright so I verified, you'd be just as fast as you should be regardless of any girth. So in your general question, yes you'd be able to run circles about the person.

Can cross reproducing occur between races? What would happen? Well, as the Rukongai citizens came from the Shinigami, ya. As for Hollow, the infection that caused them to mutate and became what they are changed their base DNA. Sure when they turn Arrancar they regain some of that humanity, but they are still hollow. So in short I'll answer your question (for the hollow side) with a question of my own. Can you breed a Cow with a Dog? No, no you cannot. Or at least that is my understanding of such things.

This is out of curiousity but would that apply to something like strength too? Just to use Dect's example would a 150 lb person with 4/4 in strength be able to overpower a 500 lb person who had 1/4 or 2/4 in strength?
