[OOC Board] - All the World's a Game - Season II

The prometheus labs exploded...


just kidding, so far, in my knowledge, the people in the labs are still dealing with the last attack, but are in good, if not great, recovery state.

@Kristia
For a sec there, I nearly took your first sentence seriously... Would've been a nightmare if that were true.
In any case, I'll likely ask S1 and co. and see what I can do.

Also, likely gonna axe Cole's karma system for the time being. Looking back on it, it wasn't that well thought up. I'm gonna definitely rework it.

It is done...again

Story

This first human fell into the Underground after the war between humans and monsters and was taken in by Toriel and Asgore as a second child, whom they treated with respect equal to their biological son, Asriel. Asriel quickly became friends with the fallen child, and grew to respect them greatly. Monsters of the Underground spoke of how Chara filled them all with hope. One day, Chara became very ill, and requested to see the Golden Flowers of their home village once more. But because no one could cross the barrier, the request could not be fulfilled. Chara died the next day, and Asriel, wracked with grief, absorbed Chara's soul and became powerful enough to cross the barrier. He took Chara's body and carried it to a bed of flowers in the center of Chara's village. The villagers, believing Asriel had killed the human, began attacking him with everything they had. Although he had the power to destroy them all, he did not fight back; he smiled and carried the human back to the castle of New Home, where he himself died from his wounds. Chara was originally laid to rest in a coffin in the basement of the castle, in the same room in which the bodies of the other Six Humans would be laid after slain by Asgore. However, Flowey implies that Toriel carried the body to the Ruins to give them a proper burial.

It is implied that Chara's death was part of a plan that they had conceived: to poison themself with flowers, then for Asriel to combine their soul with Chara's to cross the barrier, then to collect the souls of six additional humans to gain enough power to break the barrier (though whether Chara's intention was benevolent is unclear; it could be inferred that the plan was to restart the war between humans and monsters). Asriel explains to Frisk at the end of the Pacifist Route that when his soul combined with Chara's, control over Asriel's body was split between them, and that it was Chara who carried their own body to the village. Chara also wanted to use their full power against the villagers, but Asriel resisted their influence and took control, returning back home instead, before his body perished to dust and scattered across the King's Throne Room with the seeds of Golden Flowers.

No one knows when and where
Chara appeared, just that it is not a benevolent spirit.

Chara's spirit looms around Washington , miraculously unable to find a victim to possess. When will it be able to find one? Only time can tell...

Notes:

[*] Be very careful if Chara is around. It will possess your character if he/she/it had or has traumas involving wrath, envy, or pride

Trauma: May hesitate if memories of it's old life comes through.

*insert Chara app here*

I have a large list of things wrong with this app. Let me just list them off.

1: Your appearance picture is broken.

2: There's no-one EVEN CLOSE to New York.

3: Determination wouldn't really work in a world like this (the only reason Frisk was even able to use it was because there were no other humans around and they had a lot of it.)

4: There are little to no "Boss Monsters" around, and you don't specify current LV.

5: Honestly, i'm going to say this bluntly, Chara doesn't really work as an individual character, and I wouldn't really call them Chaotic Evil either.

Chara appears for what, all of two minutes? And even if they were a character, they'd be ripped to shreds by half the cast almost regardless of LV, especially considering your apparent murder-lust look of them.

If Chara were to be a character, they'd be far better working with someone else, as a more "voice in your head" sort of scenario.

As for the whole "Chaotic Evil" thing, keep this in mind. Chara didn't originally lust for power. Really, in fact, they didn't think of an answer for much at all, it was only when Frisk started killing that those ideas sunk in.

In short, the app's honestly pretty bad, and the character wouldn't really work due to many reasons listed above.

Allright
Thanks for the tip
EDIT: can you at least say something nice after the end of all that?
I like constructive criticism too, but you don't have to say it so coldly

There is nothing nice to say. It's a bad app, extremely flawed, and considering that... other app of yours, I don't really trust you regardless.

@ Castlemario

Honestly the biggest problem here is the fact Chara wouldn't work the way you think she would.

First off, Mima is correct in saying that Chara would not work as a standalone character in the context your working with, which appears to be the post-Genocide run variant. You would need a host for Chara to work as a voice in the head sort of thing that would heavily influence the host. And no, it wouldn't work if you tried to explain her as taking over Frisk's body since the ending is more Chara addressing the player.

Second off, if you had Chara as a stand-alone being, they would not have abilities considering that they are no longer in a game and can no longer manipulate save files and such. Reality is they would not be able to do anything outside of being a normal person.

So basically, you would have to redo the app taking into account that Chara is going to not be exactly what your thinking they are and that they would not have certain meta abilities anymore coming into the real world.

@Mima
I don't think you got the point...
Honestly, yes, the app needs working (I admittedly rushed it through one day)
But what I meant is how you... treated me as a person
The least you can do is motivate me
But your comment downright put me down as an individual

@Cucoo5
Thanks so much, but I was already thinking of this.
Nonethentheless, I'll use this post as a guide

@Castlemario
If I'm going to weigh in, Mima isn't being cruel nor intentionally an ass. If anything, he's very straight to the point. No nonsense, no bullsh*t. He's the kind of guy you'd see running a speakeasy in a run-down part of Boston. He neither attacked you nor your work. It's just that you expect to get praised for all the things. Even the bad things.
I'd kinda advise that you don't take Mima's comments too harshly. But don't forget about them either. Mima is rather skilled and intelligent. He knows what he's talking about.

And if I'm gonna be terribly honest, I heartily agree with the points that Cucoo and Mima made. Chara's app is deeply flawed and needs to be redone if he is to even be accepted (let alone survive a day in near future Earth with a bunch of superpowered characters).

I'm a sensitive guy. What can I say

Yes, my app is terrible, but only because I rushed through it. I was honestly scared that someone else will grab the character, henceforth the ugly app.(Also, I forgot about the points both made) But this is not about the app, it's about Mima's personality and how I don't like it ("offended" might be too much)

All I was saying is to at least give me some suggestions, advices, tips, etc.(And not so vaguely. I had to "dig" through for it) Or a compliment "sandwich". You don't need to "praise" or even like my work, but I dislike it when you're just saying negative things overall. Maybe a "try harder", "just fix it and it'll be good", or even "don't take this comment as a hate post. This is only the flaws in the app. I'm just trying to improve your skills by criticizing your work. If you at least pay attention to my post, your app will definitely improve"

But if Mima is that type of guy, I guess I'll have to accept it. Thanks for telling me TRXD

EDIT: Done with app
Honestly, I don't know what else to add

It seems this forum died for a few days...
