This is good. There's nothing really wrong with this. The power is vague, but, those often are, being a Sonic RP and all. I think all that it needs are some limitations so that it is never perceived as unfair to others. I am of the belief that the personality information could probably be more concise and, well, more personality-oriented, and less about her academic history. I understand that she is an academic, but it would be nice if her description felt more like a Sonic character, which tend to seem more whimsical and disconnected from the mundane aspects of life. But, this is really just a matter of personal opinion, and one you can choose to follow or not as you move on to the wiki, as it won't affect whether or not it's accepted. Anyway, as for abilities, a rudimentary way to start with "limiting" her weird aura stuff would simply be to ensure that, while using it on someone else, she can't continue to do energized attacks herself without weakening the effect. Another would be to assume that the "degrading" powers would be less effective on enemies who themselves have especially high levels of chaos energy, and more effective against characters with average or weak levels (which should be fun, since it seems chaos energy is one of the things most often sacrificed by new players in favor of gaming the star ratings for greater physical abilities). Some sort of limit to its range would probably be good, too. Sound fair enough? Hope so. I know you're away for a couple days, so, comment as you wish when you get back. For now, we're gonna go ahead and toss this one to the wiki stage. Renais You can use your forum username and password to log onto the wiki and start editing.

Okay, I've filled out the wiki... I've also split up and rewrote the general info segment so as to give more detailed info on her personality and to try and abridge her backstory a little better. As for the Chaos Aura, there are limitations in place... since it's invoked by particular emotions, and the effects of the auras are based on that emotion, it isn't something that can be used willy nilly right now. She needs to sincerely feel the emotion also, so nobody can clock her over the head in the hopes of angering her and getting the power boost. As for limiting her energy attacks - her energy attacks are already pretty weak as they are. She can only bind energy to her hands/feet for single attacks every so often and her energy blasts aren't particularly strong either. I am interested in the idea of having the negative effects be based more on the power of the foe rather than how powerful her emotion is, but I would ALSO like to do something like that as a plot point or such... serving as development for this ability. It's presently something wild and uncontrollable and it might take others some time to even realize the link to the power. |

Quote: As for the Chaos Aura, there are limitations in place... since it's invoked by particular emotions, and the effects of the auras are based on that emotion, it isn't something that can be used willy nilly right now. No offense, but this means little because she's still a character controlled by a player, and her emotions are whatever you decide they are in the moment. We don't yet know you or if what you consider fair is in line with what we consider fair, so this is not an effective limiting factor from a perspective of RP "gameplay" balance. I think you misunderstood the last admin post to be some sort of list of "ideas" for your character's abilities. They were requirements. For now, until we see first hand how well and fairly you RP a character with such vague and potentially powerful supernatural abilities, these limits will be in place if you want to join. If you can deal with this, we'll move on to reviewing the wiki profile. |

Okay, I've changed it, then. She can't use chaos powers for a long while, after an aura has been used and for now, I've gotten rid of the auras being able to affect opponents. I'll save that one for later. |
