RWBY?
...
Possibly, though my main RWBY RP character is... weird.
Do tell.

I was more confused about what you were trying to say there.

If I fail my will (again): TESLA ARC UP IN THIS BITCH ((gungnir))
((You might want to specify which you're using. Electrolaser will use Conventional, Tesla Saber will use Unconventional (and maybe Dexterity).))
If he fails his Will roll, would he get a choice?

The continent is inhabited by xenophobic dragons with bulletproof scales. The rain tastes like slightly dirty water.

nomadic peoples that are in a world war II technology era
How the hell did this happen? Pretty much any technology more advanced than stone tools requires enough settlement to, you know, have metalsmithing shops and stuff. And that's not getting into how a society can develop such advanced technology without the other social developments that come with settlements, like agriculture and the resultant food surpluses and high population densities.

Catching wild Pokemon isn't actually vital to progress in a forum adaptation, when you can trade. I mean, it's less vital. And if watching some of GX years ago plus watching one of the Abridged Serieses more lately tells me anything, they're important to the plot.

Hmm, I'm thinking of starting a Forum game involving Mahou Shoujo Madoka★Magica, grimdark and inevitable death. Anyone for it?
Maybe.

Am I the only one who likes their characters to be happy?
Wait, you like your characters happy?

...
Maybe I can do the RWBY game.
I'll be the Only Sane Man!

Also, her description as well as being said to look like a preteen made me think 14.
Do we need to explain to kj what the prefix "pre-" means?

((Let's be honest here. I'm not the best with ages/sizes/time/measurements.))
You're evidently better than kj.

On the other hand, it also fits nicely into what we've been saying. I think it's logical to assume I have more than 25 pellets, or needles, or whatever, as my ammunition stores, particularly since a casette-chain autoloader is kinda useless if you don't actually have enough ammunition that it needs to be put into casettes and subsequently chained.
Indeed.
And while the example was tailor-made to that conclusion, really, the point applies more broadly. There really isn't anything you can honestly say is 100% better or worse than another.

And Kiren is quite unstavle, no design issues persay, not everything he says is the truth, just lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of psychological issues.
Let me put it this way.
My little brother plays team-hurting idiots. In one adventure, his first character shot the NPC healer--the only healer in the party--because he didn't attack the first monster they came across with his bare hands, which were his only weapons. After that character was (accidentally) fed to a hydra by the other characters--which lead to him insisting that said character's pet bird took his character's sword and attacked the hydra--his next character attacked the main boss of the dungeon after the other characters initiated diplomacy. Other characters of his routinely antagonize guards and other such NPCs, which often leads to him being captured, killed, or (once) self-entombed and hence kicked out of the adventure.
His characters still manage to be less annoying and idiotic than you character is, and still manage to be less disruptive than your will be. You know why? Firstly, for all of his flaws, my brother does not make Mary Sues. Secondly, my brother doesn't have a bomb that will cause a TPK should he be killed. Thirdly, my brother listens to criticism. Fourthly, he manages to make his inept characters at least amusingly inept, rather than annoying. Fifthly, he doesn't make freaking Mary Sues.

Kiren doesn't own a phone, he is weird like that.
So, yet another way he's able to disrupt the game: Not receiving communications.

Because the shuttle will be exploded if you do and I have a stupidly bright flashlight that will sear your retinas off permanently if you try.
"...I don't think I like you."

"You know, I'm not the best with machinery, but I'm pretty sure I could keep a mech from blowing itself up, considering they aren't designed for it, most times. You wanna keep her here while I tear it apart? Anyone else want to help us ensure we have a much smaller chance of dying?"
Angel raises her hand.

Well seeing as how these ships are tough on the outside shell specifically, and how my mech runs on a nuclear reactor, we would all be flashbaked. Not much brain picking to do if you're dead. It would definitely destroy your mech as well as everybody else's mechs. Those things aren't really built to survive nuclear explosions, be fun if they were, but sadly they aren't."
"Wait, why would a nuclear reactor explode nuclearly? That's not how they work..."

"I mean, wouldn't you want a flashlight that can set things on fire?"
"Why? Wouldn't a flashlight that sets everything you try to light up on fire be kinda useless?"

Beep Beep Beep
The mercenaries have clearly received messages.
Angel checks hers.

I was trying to figure out why my propellers weren't listing any thrust. Then I noticed the throttle was off.
After that...well...these things would be easier to fly if my MechJeb was working. Its attitude is pretty much uncontrollable by human hands, and the batteries drain a lot faster than they did in the upper atmosphere for some reason.



Advice I wish someone had given me five minutes ago: "Never quicksave when your parachutes are out. Especially when you're 50 meters above the surface."

I lost Jeb and hours of setup to that one. Curse you, oceans of Eve and your inability to let a kerbonaut land safely! Thankfully, hacking healed this ill.



Update on the above: Hacking gravity let me land it in the ocean. Hilarity ensued when I (without hacking) tried to get the copter on land from two inches from it. Usually, the hilarity involved me either sliding through the water and losing bits or me shooting up into the air, crashing into the ground, and then the cockpit and some other bits slid back into the water.

I understand that part, but the entry is kinda silly. It's almost like having a Pokemon game where the character sheet has a "Does your character try to catch Pokemon?" entry. Sure, you can play if you say no, but you're not going to say no unless you're trying to buck the trend.
I think you can play Yu-Gi-Oh pretty easily without a Duel Spirit. You just will do other stuff like Shadow Games instead of Spirit Duels or something/
And you can battle Pokemon without capturing any wild. Doesn't mean you'd want to, though.

Really? You think a round ball is better for being accurate and penetrating than a bullet-shape?
And would you rather have a 1/2 oz. piece of metal flying at your opponent at mach 7, or a 28 oz. sharpened piece of metal flying at your opponent at mach 7?
Better? No. Sufficient? Yes. Plausible? Probably.
Depends on the circumstances. Alone? Ate, the latter. But would you rather have an attack dog or an attack elephant?
I'd rather have an attack oliphaunt, or an attack t-rex. Would you rather have an attack weasel, or an attack dog?
Well, you're kinda missing the point. The attack weasel actually does have situations where it would be superior. For instance, you can fit a lot more of them in a standard pet carrier.

What.
What.
A lot of Kiren's backstory does that to me. I'm imagining that he has some brain disorder that makes him confuse movies/dreams with memories.

Magilla attempts to wrestle Dubley away, and if necesarry, use his kinetic amplifier on him, trying to only incapacitate him rather than outright killing Dubley. Then once that's done, he opens one of the boxes.
Never a dull moment around here, huh?
Once again I'm reminded how lucky I am to have landed APC duty. :P
Once again, I am reminded how lucky I am to be halfway across the world from either of you, with no weapons, no suit, and no plan.
Once again I am reminded how lucky I am to be in a different solar system from you lunatics. And also immortal.

You think I could get Steve to pull the Sword further away from the planet?
Depends. How much Δv does he have to burn?

EDIT: Figured out a good distribution with an...odd complaint.

Wait, what?

254
((You might want to be more specific. "Incapacitate" is pretty vague, especially with the nature of death in ARM.))
