Is the forum being slow for anyone else, today? I understand. I've talked to Omni about the Cyber Elves, and she seems to have taken my priority request to heart. What do you mean by that, exactly?

Forum doesn't seem to be that slow to me. Doing what, exactly? But anyway, I thought about Amroppe's abilities and decided to at least be consistent to what's already going on at the Taco. Giving characters powers they don't have. I understand. I've talked to Omni about the Cyber Elves, and she seems to have taken my priority request to heart. In related news, my Megaman Zero Official Complete Works came in a few days ago. So did my Udon Megaman Tribute, which is supposed to cover Classic, X, Z, ZX, and Legends. Classic got 203 pages in it. ZX got 4. Z got 15, X got about 32, and I think I counted 21 for Legends. Ah. Well, I try not to do that with my characters. As for how others handle their characters/species, it's ultimately their choice on their characters/character interpretations, really. And wow, that's a lot of pages.

Huh, and now it's normal speed again. Does that mean it'll go backwards if you put something in the front, but not the back? Maybe you could flip them around... Grind: *smirks* How about you hop on and see if it will go backwards? *folds arms* How about you hop on and see if it goes backwards? *not sure if they like where this is going*

If you don't like the way they are, create your own. Quite a lot :< I was expecting equal treatment. Because people have different interpretations or have different ideas they may want to try. There's nothing wrong with people trying new ideas or coming up with alternate interpretations of things for roleplaying or the like; people do it all the time. And it might be interesting to some people. Ultimately, it's their choice how to roleplay them. If all else fails, especially in the Taco, it can be safe to assume AUs. As for Amroppe, I consider her a fan character. She's never going to appear in any games. (Though her powers may change if her roleplaying place changes from the Taco, due to what's been established.)

What do you mean by that, exactly? There haven't been any more instances of the magical elves popping out of no where to do your bidding =p I haven't had any real reason to do so; no one's talked to them. Also, I've got other characters here at the moment, so it's not like there's a void to fill. True, but why change an official character? Because a character is not going to remain static. (Or if they are, they may need to get a life.) They're going to adapt and change based on their experiences and circumstances. A lot of the 'getting extra powers' on the Taco appears to me to often be not so much changing someone entirely as augmenting what someone interprets as already there; bringing out their personality, accelerating discovery of hidden powers... Stuff like that. I think some may do this to one or two of their characters and then continue with the rest just to keep tradition, or to be more 'fair.' EDIT: Also, as GLQ mentioned, there's often alternate universes. It can sometimes be fun to see how characters would behave differently in a different situation, with different abilities. I know I consider Taco characters to be AU characters; interacting with the Rinamians, along with others, has already changed the flow of things. Grind: Ah, don't be so sour. It goes backwards. Estrya: So, um, what do you normally travel on? *the Reploids' voices overlap each-other* Foot. Our feet? I can walk just fine. We usually travel on foot, unless an appropriate vehicle is available or required.

There wasn't a void to fill in MoDEoN when a pixie showed up out of the blue just so you could use its telekinesis to trip up and disarm my character. In fact, that battle was quite crowded. That was because with the Light Elf still de-darkifying Elves, and cured Elves still flying out, I thought maybe a few of them would fly by, see the battle, and try to help. It only occurred to me then. The number and type was determined by dice roll. I intentionally tried not to work toward specific aspects of the battle. (If it helps, maybe it doesn't literally effect the physical attributes of the item as we might think of it so much as effect the data, as the would have data in the NTWF; I haven't thought too much on the details of how the powers would work, for the most part.)

Our feet? I can walk just fine. We usually travel on foot, unless an appropriate vehicle is available or required. We shall agree to disagree. I am still against giving characters powers unless they need them or earn them in some way. Estrya: I ment vehicle-wise ^^; Grind: *proudly* Nothing beats a windboard. I don't understand your lack of enthusiasm for them, Axl. *teasing grin* They don't bite. Come to think, I usually have circumstances force powers on them, actually; they don't exactly earn them most of the time, but they don't just appear out of random, either. (Maybe honing existing skills, but new ones generally don't just appear. They might discover them, but... Well, you get the idea.) Elves weren't as important; they pretty much started with me making images of a few, liking some of the colors I saw as I adjusted the color hue, and then working the Taco into it shortly after bringing them in. Speaking of which, why did you only choose to complain recently? Why not when non-standard powers were revealed, or when types other than the standard three (plus characters and Cream Elves) showed up for that matter - at the very beginning? Why wait until I had already established so much? We don't use them very often. When we do use something, it's usually either Ride Armer or a Ride Chaser. That's not what I was thinking, but I'm not going to tell you.

Cyber Elves are everywhere, and you've given yourself a chance at having mind readers and telekinetics in every nook and cranny. That is why I want you to keep them out of plots and general actions unless they are an actual character. Because I didn't know back then. I trusted that you knew your stuff and admired you for your dedication to detail and canon. Estrya: What are those? Ginga: Ride Armor's name sounds cool *-* Grind: *hops on the windboard and sits down, then raises it up* Awwww, come on. Did you think it might blow up?

Particularly since at this point, 'the magical ones' includes the original Elf types. Hmm... A couple more things: There are some circumstances where you'll let changes slide, right? Such as with the changes Glyph tried to make with X? *to Estrya* A Ride Chaser is basically a small one-man vehicle that's built close to the ground. They're built in different ways; most of them have built-in weapons, some can jump, and other cool things. Ride Armor is a large vehicle that doubles as a powerful suit of armor. They also come with different features. *to Grind* Well it is blowing itself up.
