Yeah, I guess.

Presumably when it comes to not dying we just have to take the most plausible option available, and if it is a bit implausible there's not much we can do....

If it's a bit implausible then you could always ask the GM, which is me.  Like, "Fuck, Character X is coming after my Character Y and I don't know how to get out of it and I don't want them to die . . ."

Then I'd be like, "It's cool, just let me handle this."

Yeah, that makes sense.

Yeah, true....

See, in the end its about the characters.  Sure they have One Hit Kill abilities, but the question is, do they want to use them?

Well, yeah, definitely.

Yeah, I think you're about 5 years too late for that. At this point making him realize his mistakes will just destroy him. Especially since he's going to be hit with a direct reminder of the fact that he really did have a choice.

We'll just have to see what happens.

Yeah, but I can't see how MoS Shirou can recover from the fact that he killed Sakura for an ideal he's now going to abandon whilst she's right in front of him. Particularly since Rider will rub it in his face at every opportunity. She would never accept "fixing" him, not after what he's done. As far as she's concerned he's beyond redemption.

If you intend to introduce yourself, yeah, definitely.

Hey Mike, I think it was your turn next.

I was thinking of Sora as a possibility, but that works, Sephiroth as a player character.

Hmm, that could be very interesting....

[Xamusel]

You seem to know about Kingdom Hearts a good deal, don't you, Cherry?

Anyway, let me finish up the character sheet renovating, and I'll get back to this soon enough.

[Cherry Lover]

You seem to know about Kingdom Hearts a good deal, don't you, Cherry?

No, but I've played Final Fantasy 7....

[Xamusel]

Ah. That makes way more sense now.

If I get anything wrong regarding Sephiroth, please let me know here, alright?

[Cherry Lover]

Honestly, I'm not exactly an expert. It's a long time since I played it....

[lantzblades]

I am, I played it just recently

[lantzblades]

Ok, well since SOME People have issues with the character I just posted a sheet for you might as well come out and actually say your issues formally. I'm particularly happy with the flak I'm getting especially after the other day. At least be honest with this if you have a problem

[Cherry Lover]

Well, OK.

Honestly, I'm rather worried that Satoshi is somewhat overpowered here. He seems stronger than everyone else by some way, and he seems to be able to basically solve every problem we might have with little effort. That isn't really good for the RP as a whole, since for the RP to work we need to all have a role in the story, and there needs to be conflict etc.

I'm not saying there's anything wrong with him as a character, but for this particular scenario I am worried he's a bit too powerful. I mean, from what I can tell from talking to you he could easily defeat even Gilgamesh, let alone the other servants who are hanging around.

[OPOI]

Ah. That makes way more sense now.

If I get anything wrong regarding Sephiroth, please let me know here, alright?

Gotcha!

By the way is it Alice's turn?

Well...mike's already talked about the power issue...
The main thing I have an issue with is
a) story. When did it happen? Why is Gil still around?
b) Anti-Gilgamesh sword. That is completely nonsensical. That's like me putting anti-Servant bullets in my gun, or minituarised Gae Bolgs in a Thompson Contender (now that's an idea...nah too OP)

Probably Elf next, although we don't necessarily have to all post in order.

a) story. When did it happen? Why is Gil still around?

It's Lantz's own setting. I don't actually have a problem with that, because he's explained it to me before and it does make sense.

My issue here isn't with the character as such, but with his place in this RP.

b) Anti-Gilgamesh sword. That is completely nonsensical. That's like me putting anti-Servant bullets in my gun, or minituarised Gae Bolgs in a Thompson Contender (now that's an idea...nah too OP)

Well, if Gilgamesh is someone he is aiming to kill, it does make sense for him to need a weapon to do so. And, the way I read it was not that it was not a sword with specific anti-Gil powers, but that it was a sword made to fight Gilgamesh with.

[lantzblades]

Gilgamesh is, or rather given the timeline of the profile was his mortal enemy mike, being strong enough to beat himis a basic tenant of story telling.

as for the sword it was made with the intent to kill Gilgamesh, it's a well known concept in myth and high fantasy that weapons can possess traits as such. In this case as the description it contains Satoshis hate for Gilgamesh when the weapon was forged

[Cherry Lover]

Gilgamesh is, or rather given the timeline of the profile was his mortal enemy mike, being strong enough to beat himis a basic tenant of story telling.

Of course, but for the purpose of this RP it makes him considerably more powerful than everyone else. My issue is not with Satoshi's story, but with how well he fits into this RP in particular.

You could always use an earlier version of him who is a bit less powerful. It's just that the RP can't be controlled by one individual character. We all need to be able to get involved in things.
