I'm going to try not to rip off anything that could get me in copyright trouble with my plots and shit >___<
You're not going to get in trouble for adding a few traits of thin men to a random online game.
1. Firaxis did not copyright segmented bones, scaly necks, or navy blue suits.
2. You can't get in trouble for that kind of stuff anyways. If you could, all fanfic would dry up instantly, because what they do is robbing a hell of a lot more than what we're proposing.
3. We've in fact had far more directly copyrighted stuff in this very game! *cough*Persona*cough*
4. If all else fails, call it parody.

Why are you so intent on combining thin men and then Slenderman?
1. Their names are similar.
2. It makes the character more original.
3. Why the heck not?

Indeed. I agree with you.

Don't want another huge argument.

My apologies over the previous OOC post. I typed it in a bit of a rush since I had to go for a few minutes, hence it didn't come out remotely right.

Anyway, back on topic, the main issue I had with those forms are that they are almost identical to their lore. They don't seem to ever express dissatisfaction at being confined to such state, or exploit it by using their expected actions as a facade.

My problem isn't so much that the Flayed Ones look like Flayed Ones but so much that they act entirely like them.

Something simple, such as showing signs that they aren't just walking cameos, or some of them displaying personalities, hell, having one of them flail menacingly only to suddenly back away and pull out a gun would be fine.

Just have them display signs that they are independent entities forced into an approximated physical form rather than an animated set of cosplay paraphernalia.

To be fair, didn't have much time to demonstrate such a thing with him. :p

Still, could've had the suit in a rather poor state with stains and cuts to indicate that they didn't care too much about the form. Or signs of personality, such as adopting a certain posture, or you know, wearing a monocle and top hat.

We'll see what happens. I didn't really describe them in too much detail. And they're held rather strictly to their memes.

Which is more or less why I have an issue with them, the fact that they must act like what they depict.

Also, because that means a bunch of void entities would end up manifesting as Darnos. The lack of any significant allowance of deviation means that @Xantalos won't be controlling a Darnos character, he'll be controlling an entire collective of them.

*rubs forehead* Excuse me? That won't happen. Think of them like the Servants from F:SN. Except under exceptional circumstances, there can only be one of each class at a time. one Saber, one Archer, one Berserker, etc.

Well, we have established that TA is basically a book series here and a popular one at that... which means that some entities may manifest as Darnos.

Possibly, but only one at a time and probably not very often, since he was, after all, a human villain, under it all.

Post-human due to jumping bodies. He did impregnate reality as well so that may raise compatibly.
