Though we at Drowning Ambitions encourage character creativity, some people tend to go overboard and do something with their characters that... simply can't (and shouldn't) be done. For these people, we have compiled a list of the things we absolutely won't allow. Please, respect the list and read through it before you create your character. Also, do note that the following list can (and will) be changed as needed..
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Altering Probability
In other words, your character isn't allowed to make any event less likely or more likely. People tend to abuse powers like these; for example, a character could make events such as heart attacks, car wrecks, (super) power failure, etc, more likely to occur. I could name more, but I think you get the point.
Auto-Kill
This one's pretty self-explanatory: your character can't have a power that can kill people whenever you feel like it. Not only is this unfair, but it is also an RP-killer. We'll understand if you accidentally choose a power that does this, but if you do so purposely, you will be dealt with.
Creating Life
Your character is not a god! If humans in real life can't create life, what makes you think your character (powers or not) can? If your power has anything to do with creating life, we will reject it immediately.
'Distant Future' Technology
This one's pretty simple to understand: if it doesn't exist currently, then you can't give it to your character. This is especially true for Verada, since, currently, it's probably the last place you'd look to find specialized parts for future technology. Basically, your character will never own (or become... believe it or not, someone tried) a mecha or any other type of futuristic technology, so please... don't test my patience by trying.
Guns
Since not everyone will read this, I'm going to mention this here as well: no guns. This rule mostly applies to Ryougans, since they would be too powerful if they had both powers and guns at their disposal; humans will just have to find other ways to defend themselves (trust me, there's plenty). There aren't enough materials in the city to make guns anyway, so this is both a necessary and unnecessary thing to bring up.
Magic
This is a SuperPower RP, not a Magic RP. Magic is the equivalent of having every power known to man, so naturally, we won't let your character have anything to do with it.
Omnipotency
You basically have the powers of a god; you can see all, hear all, do all, etc. Really, guys... get out of your fantasy world and grow up a little.
'Opposite' Elemental Powers
This means that your character has control/power over two things that are the exact/close opposite of one another. For example, your character shouldn't have control over both fire and water; I mean, most people (including myself) would file that under 'broken.' If you plan on doing this anyway, then I'd better see a huge weakness to it somewhere in your character's profile.
Reality Warping
The world... is not... your playhouse. You can't change how the world works; you can't create something from nothing; you can't rewrite logic (ex: 2+2 =5); you can't change something into what it wouldn't naturally be (ex: lead into gold); and so on. Even though this is a SuperPower RP, it doesn't mean that your character can go against the natural order.
Time Manipulation
No matter how much you bend or twist it... no matter how many weaknesses you give it... you will never have a character that can control/alter time. Your character will never make time go slower or faster; your character will never go to the past or future; your character will never make things/people older or younger; and so on. |
