    First Person Or Third Person?

    Both and for different reasons and scenarios. 1st: I prefer this for stories that focus primarily on one character's perspective, without much thought for other characters. That may seem like the typical definition, but it's subtly different. The use of *I* statements tells the audience the...

    This is Epic Mode! (It is a song.)

    I'm sorry, but... 'Phonk'? Is this some new cross between punk and funk? Or pop and funk that I'm unaware of? Also, more of a metal/rock/horrorcore guy myself, but I listen to a little of everything. The song isn't bad, just not to my tastes.

    cool anime weapon for a protag?

    That actually gave me an idea. A sword that absorbs other swords to get stronger. There's that old blacksmith saying that each weapon you craft is a piece of your soul. So... Why can't a sword be made to devour other "soul pieces" (swords), thus getting stronger. Likely won't use this idea for...

    cool anime weapon for a protag?

    use the "sword" of xerxes - Champion gets 300 persian Immortal troops as his "weapon".

    cool anime weapon for a protag?

    That's actually something I'd been considering for a character. It's unrealistic IRL, which is why it was never really done - only the survivors pass on their techniques. That said, in a world of magic, it could potentially be possible.

    cool anime weapon for a protag?

    The Ultimate Stick of Ultimate Desitiny - a single large oaken stick with a faint green glow, gives +3 to finding koroks and +7 to cool factor when seen by a child between 6 and 11. Also grants the user "cool stick bro" as a status effect. well, it's more one of those things that I want people...

    cool anime weapon for a protag?

    That's certainly one possibility. paired with a smaller roman parma might look cool and be fairly effective.

    cool anime weapon for a protag?

    He doens't have any specific training, as he's a workaholic, but he's been using sword and shield as it's the "common" view of a warrior. So a specific geek-fest-worthy axe or mace would work. for swords, I was almost thinking glamdring, but I don't think I could describe it well enough to be...

    cool anime weapon for a protag?

    lol nah, you're good. that was definitely before my time, but my father was into it. For some reason, I was thinking the sword of Aeons, from Fable. Had my pop culture crossed. lol nah, you're good sailus. I appreciate the input. I meant specific named weapons, not general weapon classes. I...

    cool anime weapon for a protag?

    sword of omens? I recognize that from somewhere but can't place it... And I do want to clarify, I'm planning to restrict the weapon somewhat. Some things he can't do when creating weapons. Like the Demon slayer blades. He can't get them to change color, so he just has to make them whichever...

    cool anime weapon for a protag?

    That's why I'd usually go heavy archer. Cant sneak as well in heavy armor, which eliminates the temptations to go sneak sniper. Once I hit 15, i'd head to the morowind area, and find the Bloodskal blade and switch to heavy handed. Presents enough challenge to not get boring, but easy enough to...

    cool anime weapon for a protag?

    give him a weapon he's not entirely familiar with? hmm... It'd be interesting. the god places a sphere in his path. champion picks it up and hears "A NEW HAND TOUCHES THE BEACON!!" Then he's like "shit... This AGAIN?!"

    cool anime weapon for a protag?

    So basically the title. I'm looking for a cool anime weapon that a "god" could provide to a champion of his. I want it to be easily recognizable from a specific anime, but still vague enough to not violate any copyrights. The champion is a warrior that uses sword and shield. Any ideas? And it...

    You are who you are

    yeah. That was my analogy. I've seen people that don't get the in depth spiritual stuff, but they understand the computer stuff. In mine, both programs reading the file is valid. Neither is wrong becasue they didn't read it the way the other did. Your lens and mine are both valid, though we...

    You are who you are

    That's certainly an interesting way of looking at it. Like running a file through an image program vs an audio program. Assuming each program was capable of reading the same file format, one person might see a beautiful flower while another would hear an interesting sound. Same experience...

    The Weirdest tags you've seen in a reading website.

    I'll be honest, it took me a moment after a good snort-laugh. I read the first word as "monkey". That said, my best guess would be more sex focused than gold digger. like a hooker, but long-term rather than one-night stand.

    My third HS2 model.

    I'm proud to introduce Yukiyo! She's an older japanese woman working as a cook in the restaurant her now-deceased husband opened to put her daughter through college. (Made at the behest of a friend of mine I'm writing in a shared world with).

    How do I promote my story further?

    lol I used to be like that, in a previous life (pen name). Now, I have more time and decided to put more time into actually writing than editing. So it doesn't really bug me. That said, at this specific moment in time, I only post here and on Sub.Star. I've been debating on choosing another...

    How do I promote my story further?

    Post on here. you've got the story in your sig, so that's good. I'd include some simple info about it under it (check my sig, notice how I have info about the various stories). It might also be good to include 1 or 2 of the more popular tags next to it (which I haven't done, though I'll be...

    Worst antagonist archetypes?

    One dimensional "I'm evil because fuck good". Give us SOME reason. I'd be fine with "I'm evil because it's fun." But someone acknowledging they are, and choosing to be, evil simply because they don't want to be good? Ridiculous.
