Out of curiosity, does that level 0 actually do anything?

Nope!

Kupo, you're good. Feel free to start.

Pierce, your level 0 is as follows:

Level 0: Your hair starts to gain streaks of dark green. When on grass or plain earth, you run a quarter faster than a normal person.

Dragoon: You're approved. Gogo Ranger Link.

Oroba is a massive gimmick character. Those drawbacks are immense and are usually offset by something powerful. Not approved... a simpler character is much better.
There's something in your eyes. Is everything alright?

I think the reason mel's not approving you has to do with the fact that these "gimmick" charachters almost always end up trashed within a week. You'll learn that such massive drawbacks ingibit your PC too much in order to enjoy all EW has to offer. You may think that you will love your PC but of all the dozens of PCs with such gimmicks that were proposed in the old EW all but GG's pirate dude and Mouse's Arbit were scrapped in mere weeks and I'm pretty sure GG's dude was eventually scrapped too. It's just smarter to start with a more generic PC even if it may not seem like it.

Magnus: Y'know, why do you need hard-coded restrictions to play him? You could still choose to not cast your spells or use your money or use other weapons, but there is no reason to make those penalties OOC enforced. That way you can start doing those things if/when you start getting bored with your gimmick. Maybe he kept his starting gold around because it’s shiny. I can think of a number of reasons why he'd do other things too, but he's not my PC. :p

I'd say the key is to build a PC with a future. Room to grow - something that's hard to do when you've willingly denied yourself large portions of the game. Most of my PCs that were somewhat gimmicky - in fact the only PC I dumped after 1-2 weeks was the normal one. I'm all for being different from the norm, but there is a difference between doing things in an unusual way and just not doing things.


-------------------------
Also, Nai, I sent you another PM on the subject of Silver. I don’t think you’ve been back on line yet, but for some reason my PM system isn’t telling me when I get a message so I’m just putting this down in case you’re in the same boat.

I don't see why I cant play him tbh, just because people who cant roleplay a restricted character dropped there's within days doesn't mean I'll do the same...

Guys, I know some of us are veterans in regards to EW character creation, but don't comment on others PCs, let Nai and Mel handle it for now (WM). Otherwise it just clogs up the thread and has a bunch of people giving input to something that doesn't concern them and in the end makes things more confusing, not to mention comes of as slightly patronizing.

Magnus: Right now, your PC can't go anywhere. Your character doesn't start at level 1 Mightcasters. He starts at level 0. And no, no restriction in the world would change that. And the only way to level up Mightcasters is to buy spells.

So, essentially: Your character has no money, so he can't buy spells.

He has no weapon, because you must start at level 0 in your lSS.

With no weapon and no armor, he's mostly useless on quests and jobs, most of which won't include a wide variety of wild animals to be empathized with. And remember, empathy does not equal taming. You can settle them down, but not give them orders.

Do you see why this is bad? You've essentially created a character that can do next to nothing. He has no money to upgrade himself, and he has no way to GET money to upgrade himself.


Calmay: Remember that that natural ability doesn't equal invisibility. You'll generally be unnoticed, but not by people actively looking, or people who are just being observant. Like guards.

Otherwise, if you're happy with her, you're approved.

We've been there before, Magnus. Characters like this end up scrapped in days. People like to build power and abilities onto their character and within our boundaries, your character won't survive very long.

We're talking about years of seeing characters come through and nearly every single gimmicky character like this one has fallen through the cracks. Only Supermouse could tell you how in the heck to make a character like that survive.
There's something in your eyes. Is everything alright?
