Are you guys all happy with what's going on in our roleplays recently?
Any comments, questions, concerns or issues that I should address?

Your play, the plot you are doing, has been some of the most enjoyable of my RP time on furc. Love it too much, already told LE how badass this is, how much fun I was having but I did not tell you.
So in as few words as possible...
Fucking. A. Mate.

Shouldn't ask questions you really don't want answers too, Micheru. :p If anything I'd have to smack the piss out of you icly for doing half of the dumb shit Micheru does. Violence makes everyone happy, it makes me happy. We always want to see me happy! There is, however, some concerns. Which I'd rather talk to you about in private than on a forum board.
The rules are changing very soon. I'd take time to consider self nerfing before these rules hit. The Shadowlyng race is ridiculously OP, something all staff in Eileadora are in agreement with. When these rules hit, a lot of this stuff won't pass.
Far as characters go, damn entertaining, but there's been a lot of complaints regarding the race. Their lack of weakness being the primary one and just up and shadow vanishing from conflict being a second. I hope ya take a serious look into this man, because besides you and maybe Exandar... there's a lot of salty people.
As for me, I get to clean up the mess. So I am hoping the headache is saved in the long run by me just saying flat out 'nerf yourselves HUGELY'... otherwise fun to RP with.

G'dammit was I the only one posting preps for shadow walking?
Dammit.
In all honesty a little structure and restriction would help. Spell rules etc.
Excited for changes and excited for stories!

I can see how outsiders might see the Shadowlyng race as 'OP', but it's really set for people to maintain their own characters.
The ONLY powers Micheru uses on a regular bases are creating energy forms and shadow-stepping (and this is mostly to enter/leave scenes, never in combat).
I expect my players to regulate themselves, in how they use the powers-- and I've noted that EVERY SHADOWLYNG doesn't have every power, in fact even Micheru doesn't have every power. Prepping is in the dream rules, so that shouldn't need to be discussed.
Shadowlyngs are 'strong', but they can be contained easily, and if their mortally weak vessel is destroyed, they're almost completely powerless, outside of being an ephemeral gob of energy. The Shadowlyngs have enough weaknesses, I believe, and if that's not true enough, I'm willing to talk it out.
>Their lack of weakness being the primary one...
From my document:
The greater weaknesses of a Shadowlyng is light. The light of the sun will burn away the essense of the Shadowlyng, and younger and weaker Shadowlyngs will be weakened by the sun. Concentrated light can do physical damage to the Shadowlyng's vessel, and a cage of magical light will immobilize a Shadowlyng. Holy light-- holy magic-- will do the same sort of damage to a Shadowlyng and their vessel that acid or fire will to most anything.
Literally, light or holy magic will FUUUUUCK up any Shadowlyng, including Micheru, Trench AND Mykael. Ask Den Fa. When he attacked recently, he had a holy mage with him, who cast a spell that literally locked down all of the Lyngs in the room.
>..and just up and shadow vanishing from conflict being a second.
Preps are in the rules of the dream. If my members are violating the rules, hammer that shit immediately and tell me about it.

Hmm, I was under the impression only holy light could hurt them. Micheru, I am gonna ask you to have a sit down with myself and Heather when she gets the time, to hash some things out and either better understand this or come to a compromise that'll keep the players happy. We can hash it out then. And as the current race guardian I'd hope that if any issues come up with other Shadowlyng's, you yourself would step in and police it.
When this is done, lets get a race sheet up somewhere. Thanks.

The Shadowlyng's essence, within their mortal vessel, is weak to sunlight, holy magic/magical light, but not torchlight.
So, for instance, if someone disemboweled a Shadowlyng, and left them open to the sunlight-- or strung them up with massive cuts in their bodies, facing the morning sun, their essence would burn away, and they'd have to be reborn in The Dark. A rebirth hasn't happened yet, but when it does, the character comes back significantly weakened, until they can regain power over time, which can be months or years.
From the doc:
"Upon a 'death', the Shadowlyng experiences a harrowing journey through the Darkness, until they reach the Dark Realm, as the lesser, hungry shadows with no mind to themselves claw at the weakened Shadowlyng. Shadowlyngs with strong wills, strong personalities, or strong powers, can make the journey intact, but younger and weaker Shadowlyngs, or Shadowlyngs who are hindered severely, may be swallowed back up by the Darkness, and never re-emerge, so death is always potentially permanent, unless the Shadowlyng is powerful enough to master the Demiplane of Darkness, as Mykael, Trench and Micheru have. After surviving a 'death', it can take a Shadowlyng days or weeks to fully recover, before they're able to re-enter material space."

Certainly. I wish people would come talk to me BEFORE giving me shit.
I'll be clear, I'm a massive fucking narcissist-- maybe just less than my own character-- and I had to stop from putting a hand through a wall when I read your and Faith's posts.
I really would prefer if people would address their issues with me directly first, because it makes me feel less.. I don't know.. attacked? I know you're not attacking me, but again-- narcissist.
But otherwise..
We're cool.

Nah, not attacking ya Mich, just want a sit down to clear some things up. Most people tend not to voice concerns through fear of confrontation. That's just human nature. I just want the RP community happy mate. We'll work all this out later.
My post had nothing bad to say at all. So I don't know why you'd put your hand through a wall for it. BUT PLEASE MAKE ME A CLAY MOLD OF YOUR HAND MICHERU. DO IT NAO.'
But in seriousness. I was more vague than specific, so really now I feel attacked for what? Being honest, or fucking with people. PFFT.

Faith, I'll make you a clay mold of my hand, if you'll use it for reproductive purposes and film it.
PS, I have big hands. I'll include some baby oil.
