Good point... Delarin taught him the same way night blood was taught what evil is.

So, there was a lot of...

I made a brick! Is this good food?

"No. You can't even eat it."

How about those people over there? Would they make good food?

"No! You can't eat people!"

I can't eat anything at all. 

...

Are those people heroes?

"I guess you could say that."

So they're good people? Good, is that right?

"What are you getting at?"

My orders are to make Good into food. If I had emotions I'd feel bad for them. Death by spatula is an embarrassing way to go.

So is the character a yes?

If it were up to me, I would approve it on the grounds of it being a non-combatant. But you've posted it here for peer review, so I'd recommend giving it a few hours to let people in other time zones get the chance to take a look at it. Then they can start coming up with ideas for how they will interact with it, as well as give feedback and make suggestions, if they have any. I'll @Lord Meeker to make sure it's on his radar so it can be added to the list at the appropriate time.

I think it should be fine. I would object, but you're using the same excuse that I'm using for Dusk, so I can't complain.;)

Thanks Archer and Snipexe, now the Jackal is a normal character. Now, the daunting task of taking all of his weaknesses and putting them on a character profile. This will take a while.

@beantheboy12 I agree with Archer here. I approve if it can be used as a non-combatant. I am okay with self defense. But if I see it used to attack someone else we are going to have a problem.

I updated the summary thread with all active threads of Era 3. If I missed one, please tell me, I hope I didn't, but then you never know. For the time being, I'll look after the list and add a new thread, once it is created.

Contrasting the first try I simply listed all threads and wrote one or two sentences what they are about, as a quick overview. I'm not 100% sure if it's enough, or if I should add more information, but I didn't try to really sum them up, more to give an orientation what they are about. My first approach included a lot more text, but then I decided on a shorter version, so that it can be read through quickly.

I'd be happy about some feedback, if you think it is really helpful like this, or if I should change something, add more information or whatever. I've spent a lot of time thinking about this, so I'm not sure if I can really tell right now.

Thank you.

I'd like to make a proposal, to explain the Rogue Hemalurgists in many peoples background stories.

Syndicate Omega.

Syndicate Omega was founded by a DA member who lost his Loyalty Spikes in an accident. He ran. Using his knowledge of Hemalurgy, he brought DA subjects, rejects, and slaves together. And Syndicate Omega was born. Those hundred or so decided to go to the Cosmere, where their knowledge of Hemalurgy was unparalleled. Over time, they grew, creating huge amounts of experiments, so much they grew lax in security. This has leaded to many subjects escaping. They also occasionally extend past Hemalurgy.

So, wouldn't really be important, but it would be a nice bit of worldbuilding and would explain a lot. Thoughts?

Okay, thanks, I'm still waiting (impatiently) on Hellbent/Devaan/Ronin

I know this was likely intended as just a reminder, but again we do just have a lot of work to get through. I have about 50 pages of reading to do on an average morning to make sure nothing needs urgent attention, then normal mod stuff, responding to PMs, and I like to do some posts just for my enjoyment before I get around to actioning things. It can put a lot of pressure on people when they get constantly messaged about something that's on their backlog, I know that wasn't your intention but I have tried to be clear about this recently.

All good, just want to emphasize the point, it can be a lot to put on somebody and I'd rather no one found this to be more of a chore than a fun leisure activity, at the end of the day we're all here to have fun so try not to put unnecessary pressure on anyone.

This applies to other players too, a reminder that people are waiting on someone's character is up next in a thread is all fine but spamming someone until they post somewhere isn't something that should be happening. If you think someone may have genuinely forgotten something it's fine but don't try to annoy people into posting faster.

Hey so it has come to my attention that we don't really have a set style for what the Alleycity looks like or what its culture and level of technology is. 

A while ago we voted as a community to make sure that this RP stayed a fantasy one, and not a science fiction one, but we never really figured out what that meant. Some people may like to have modern day technology in the RP, but others may like a more medieval fantasy setting.

So I would like to pose a couple of questions to the RP:

The first is, what do you think should be considered Science Fiction, and thus absolutely not allowed in the RP?

Second, what is the level of technology you think the alleyverse/city should be at? Do you think that up to modern day is fine? Only allowing up to Era 2 Scadrial tech? Is everything in the RP fine so long as it is based off of magic in some way? What are your guys' thoughts?

Third, should this be homogeneous for the alleycity and for the entire planet? Should the entire planet have flying cars and cellphones? Or just the tech developers in the cities?

If you have any other questions about this that you wan't clarified, please ask them here.
