Don't ALL go metal. If we have one or two metals, we should be fine before some arse with a magnetism ability or something shows up.

If not, I'm going to be the first to change. >_>

Wait, do we need a color AND an element, or is it one or the other?

One or the other. Elements, Metals and Colors are different classes of Avatar.

...To be fair it is mentioned in one line, right at the beginning.

QUESTION

Do we start the game with knowledge of Brain Burst or do we get it mid-game?

What, as in you start out knowing about Brain Burst or knowing about its mechanics? If you want to be someone's Guardian, I suppose you can start as a level 1 who already got Brain Burst from someone else.

Anyway, the game starts shortly before anyone who doesn't have a Guardian yet and therefore doesn't have Brain Burst gets Brain Burst.

Waaait... could I just... not even choose any abilities, just armaments?

You could, I guess? I'll have to see to make sure it isn't stupid.

Also, try to keep to humanoid characters or characters who can transform but have a base humanoid form.

you just have to be the same color as your name, seeing as the names were tied to the element's color

Colors determine what stats your character favours and what they're weaker at. It's a bit more than just having to be the same color.

They're just there to explain which stat the Avatar favours because the Colours (and Metals) can favour different stats and lose out different ones.

so yes

can i get a wiki link or something, then?

Right at the top of the OP.

Are colors actually tied to certain archetypes?

How do you mean?

can i have an ability that instantly kills someone with an embrace

sb
don't be emp
or i swear
i will stab you

i haven't watched the show, though, so what are we looking at as far as general rules for abilities? mech gril was from a 'verse partially based on accel world but idk if she works here

Well, considering abilities go from anything from headbutting someone to stealing someone's abilities to instantly killing someone with an embrace, I'd say as long as it's not entirely too stupid, I'll allow it.
