I understand that I am not a player in this game, and if I vote for any other option UXLZ will tear my testicles and/or mammaries free from my soft, mortal body.

I am Tiruin and have biased desires due to my own ideas for a game I wish to run, and desire this game to be my guinea pig. =P

Tiruin, at least a short post would be ok. Then let your character vegetate for a while.

[Tiruin]

Well, I don't really like playing other people's characters, and I can't even begin to English the way Tir does, but I guess I can give it a shot after I get home.

Thanks dudes c: I really appreciate the thoughtfulness. This playerbase is ♥!

Done my post! (It's in the typing at this moment--also my sheet isn't in the OP yet :O)

[UXLZ]

Because I haven't put it in there yet. I'm waiting to see your text color.

You know who I'm talking about. =P

Anyway, point being, while I wouldn't suggest it I'm perfectly fine with his bow being fluffed as a longbow if you also fluff in a reason why it can only shoot as far as a recurve.

[SOLDIER First]

Honestly I don't know why the differentiation needed to be made in the first place. It's not actually a longbow, I realize that. Just let me make throwaway comments ;-;

[GiglameshDespair]

SRS BSNS

[UXLZ]

NEVER. >=x

And the reason why the distinction is made is because a longbow is a distinctly different to a recurve bow. The other option is to have the other characters ask why your range is so shitty. =P

[SeriousConcentrate]

Frankly I don't mind the idea of a character having a personal weapon that just so happens to have the stats of whatever they're actually fighting with. It's nice flavor.

[Sirus]

But then you run into the same problems ("why does that longbow not shoot as far as your other longbows?").

It also seems just a bit pointless when all of these weapons will eventually break anyway and have to be replaced.

[SeriousConcentrate]

Allow me to smooth over these plot holes.

1. Longbow not shooting as far: character is just choosing not to shoot as far for reasons. Say, the wind is bad, or he can't see that far into the woods.
2. Flavor weapon never actually breaks; if the actual stat weapon breaks, then the flavor weapon will just use the stats of whatever weapon said character next equips.

It's not my decision on whether it's cool or not to do that, but if I ever ran an FEF I'd allow it. I guess I'm just a fan of weapons like the Galestrike Ketsuki has over in FH - not necessarily the same mechanics, but just the idea that this is the character's signature weapon and it's what they 'always' use/always shows up in cutscenes. For example, Cloud is always portrayed with the buster sword. Even though it's the weakest sword he can get, it's still 'his' sword. I'm not sure I'm explaining myself well, but you get what I'm trying to say, right?

[Sirus]

I do get what you're saying, but...
A) Flavor only goes so far. If you make excuses often enough it just seems weird.
B) Then you have the issue of your personal weapon's stats changing, sometimes drastically, and even gaining and losing abilities in the cases of reaver and slayer weapons.

Galestrike at least has the advantage of being a unique and physical weapon; if Ketsuki were to equip, say, an Armorslayer, she would no longer be using Galestrike and it would return to her inventory. Galestrike does not magically take on the identity of whatever sword Ketsuki's using (unless I'm badly misremembering).

"This is my favourite bow. I've replaced the string 12 times, and the bow 7 times, but it's still my favourite old bow."

Galeforce is the name.
But yeah. Galeforce is a specific sword. If I equip a bow, it's not just a very odd way of using a sword

[SeriousConcentrate]

I would call gameplay and story segregation on the second. Yes, we the players know the weapon's stats change, but why would the characters be aware of it? Why would they think 'wow, that sword is suddenly and mysteriously awesome against knights' instead of 'that was good work, attacking the weak point of that guy's armor'?

And no, Galestrike Galeforce (thanks, ninja Gig) doesn't. It powers up a random stat it has every time it kills an enemy. My point was more that Galeforce is Ketsuki's sword. She may use other weapons when she needs to, but that one is now her signature sword.

Anyway, we can agree to disagree if you'd like Sirus, because I don't think I'm going to budge you and I can state flat out you're not going to change my mind, so further debate would be pointless and just clutter up the OOC.

Also @Gig: ...I never suggested using a sword's stats for a signature bow man, come on. You would need some kind of weapon like Squall's gunblade to pull that off.

Everything's finally starting to move. =3

Though it'll probably still be a few days before we reach the first combat encounter, especially if you guys still want roadside RP.
