CHARACTER RECLAIMS



From now until endgame, Synodiporia is closed to new applications.

However, players who dropped or idled characters but who do not have a behavioral strike against them may reclaim characters at any time. Dungeons and app windows are no longer necessary. Simply comment below with "I'd like to bring [character (username)] back!" And we'll take it from there.

Players already at 3 characters who wish to bring back a 4th or 5th may do so so long as they're current on AC. Players wishing to bring in characters above 5 may request special mod permission.

If you are uncertain if you qualify to reclaim, please email us at synodiporians@gmail.com and ask!

All good! If it's easier to discuss powercaps via Plurk, feel free me to add me there? Otherwise whatever works! I imagine he's going to need to be capped a fair bit.

Ahaha, sorry he's such a headache already! And thank you for bearing with me!

In the Dishonour skills, I'd say that Ninja Acrobatics (particularly the jumping, climbing, and gymnastics - this guy's basic role call involves a ridiculous flip, and half his evasive moves consist of 'can't hit me if you can't tell where I'm somersaulting next') and Weaponry would be the ones he'd have as a result of training his whole life, and I think that would also cover his swordplay skills? ...he tends to be a more refined duelist than his teammates, but not to the extent that I think Swordsmanship would apply.

Superlative Stealth I think would also be needed for the whole 'ninja' thing. He's also very likely trained in survival, but canon doesn't give any very strong reasoning for him to qualify for Survivalism other than general 'actually this episode needs someone to be able to do some tracking so we can advance the plot' and even then it's largely handwaved.

Since he relies on his goton-nin shuriken and magic for elements, I don't think he qualifies for Elementism at all.

Speaking of magic, though! Are there going to be caps on that as well? And regarding hammerspace - would he and Kinji (...and any other Ninninger that I can only dream of playing with) default to shared hammerspace, or do they get their own solo hammerspaces?
cloudpotter: (but do you want to be that stupid)

Yup, canon has shown the otomo-nin/mechas can't be accessed from other dimensions/within illusions/anywhere other than home! Except for that one Drive crossover movie, but I'm also fairly certain the writers were ignoring their own restrictions for the sake of convenience for a lot of that movie. I put all of their shuriken in the 'totally useless away from home' section of his inventory, but probably should have specified that they're useless because they require more than just him to work. (If... that makes sense.) They'll be cool paperweights, but no good for much else.

I'm not sure how magic's working for the other users in game, but would a sort of... exhaustion system work? Canon really doesn't touch on it at all, but there is a part where his wand gets snapped and Yakumo's response is that he appears to feel a physical pain in his chest; implying that he's actually somehow connected to the wand. Drawing from that, could possibly pull it to "[x] spells per day, the more difficult the more exhausted, don't go knocking yourself out" sort of deal?

SOUNDS GOOD

You're probably about to answer this anyway but how do I go about the powercap report?

Sweet! I'll get on it after work tonight.

Thank you again!

Sorry to bother you guys again! We just noticed last night that Kinji came in with Teleport II while Yakki has Teleport I - just checking that the skill difference is correct?
