Human Roleplay Switches

[vellichor]

So I’ve read through a lot of this but not all of it so I apologize if anyone’s already mentioned this! So one thing I think we really need in human rp is variety. Right now I feel both groups are very similar, which will make it harder for people to find their “niche”. I brought up the idea on the discord but I know not everyone has that so I’ll repeat it here, but I was thinking it might be interesting to somehow incorporate ideas of various genres? Not necessarily exclusive to groups but so that something could be more fantasy/sci-fi/strictly post apocolypse if it wanted to be. For example, someone with an earth elemental might have powers like an earth bender in Avatar and call it magic but another might say they use highly advanced cells to manipulate metal and call it technology. The reason for this could be different cultures they’ve developed (in the case of groups) or simply different mindsets/backstories (in the case of characters), much like it is in the animal rp and in real life! People might see the exact same thing but think totally different things about it due to preconceived ideas or past beliefs. Basically I think this world needs to be just as open as the animal rp so that we can attract many different people, not just one type.

I’m pretty indifferent about the maps so I won’t comment on those for now haha. I think what y’all have talked about so far is good tbh.

Edit;; Sorry, I just was looking at the thread again and decided to add this! I think powers/tech through powers should stop where it does in animal rp to make things consistent and easy when navigating the shop/site. We can say if we include cars/motorized vehicles elsewhere but as far as biotech goes, I think we should stick with any complex metal limbs have to have an earth elemental, for example. Tbh I think we just went to keep it as open as possible so we aren’t constantly asking tons of hypotheticals for hundreds of character ideas. Basically if it’s a power, your character can use tech to do the exact same thing. For example, telepathy could be caused by some kind of implant.
