 |  Subject: Kinda lost on your site. Here're some suggestions  Thu Jan 17, 2013 2:53 pm | |
| Hey folks. I enjoy Avatar so I wanted to check out what this whole deal was about, but I found little to no information on the site and what goes on here. So, here are some ideas that might make your site more new user friendly. First, post a story, plot and history of your site. Like the story would be what's going on now. The plot would be more OoC and talk about how the players fit in, and the history would be a great place to include where this series departs from the actual one. Another thing these two threads https://avatarchroniclesrpg.forumotion.com/t6-sub-element-requirementshttps://avatarchroniclesrpg.forumotion.com/t5-stat-level-equivalentsare in different places. But they could easily be the same thread. In fact, You could make it easier on everyone, abolish those two threads, and include their content on the Character Template. This would involve less running around for potential members. Another thing that confuses me, is the "point" system. I understand how it works. Super simple, and it might even be too easy to reach. (Fifteen posts is nothing character development wise.) Does it only apply to your bending level? Or will you be implementing a stat system. (Which would be a great way to impose balance and diversity on everyone. Actually, isn't the Avatar all about balance? Haha) You could have something like this. A 24 point system (With benders getting four extra points because they have an extra stat). Upon character creation, each character has twenty two points to spend. A maximum of seven in each stat, with the seventh being earned later. Maybe every fifty posts a character would receive one more stat point to distribute, and every 150 posts a person could put something into a level seven stat. Intelligence - Relates to how well your character can handle thinking outside the box. If you don't invest a lot in INT don't expect people to take your plans or ideas seriously. - Spoiler:
0 You're an animal going on instinct alone.
1 You're a child as far as brain power goes. You can learn simple things. (Kinda like Momo.)
2 You're a little below average. Get back to pushing your cabbage cart. (You know who I mean)
3 You're average. Nothing special here. (Toph or Ang aren't bright. But not dumb.)
4 You're above average. You can grapple with more complex ideas. You can build tools or make your own weapons (Katara or Zuko. Pretty clever bunny here.)
5 You're way above average. At this level you can actually build simple devices, or come up with pretty clever plans. (Like Sokka)
6 You can barely stand holding a conversation with someone four or lower you're that much smarter. (Zuko's sister. I can't remember her name.)
7 Genuis!Either tactically, or inventively, no one can match you when it comes to your field. (Uncle Iroh, or the fake wind benders that made their own flying machines.)
Strength - Pretty self explanatory. You can either punch a wall through, or barely lift your wrist. Adds to how far you can jump - Spoiler:
0 You're crippled. Or a baby. Either way you can't even lift your own head.
1 You wield all the might of a Toddler.
2 Below average. You're kinda out of shape.
3 Average. May as well call you Joe.
4 Fit. You work out on the weekends.
5 Built. You're a tank. You probably exercise everyday.
6 You're a machine. You can throw people around like rag dolls.
7 Better watch out for anyone by the David. You're a freaking Goliath!
Speed - How fast you run, and how agile you are while on the move. Does not effect reflexes. (Thought it certainly helps in a fight.) Adds to how far you can jump - Spoiler:
0 Again, you're crippled. You can't move on your own. You may need a wheel chair.
1 You've probably got some kind of injury, like a limp. Or maybe you're just really old or out of shape.
2 You can't run for very long, and when you are running, it's not impressive.
3 Average. You're not winning any races anytime soon, but you'll probably be on time for your meeting.
4 You're a runner. You probably jog every morning, and it really shows.
5 You have one more than one race in your life, and if you didn't, you have never been caught if someone tried chasing you.
6 You're a jaguar among men. You move so quickly and gracefully it's hard to keep track of you.
7 You invited parkour. No one can keep up with you, and you can move along roof tops, or in the forest like it was a side walk.
Endurance - How much punishment you can take, or how long you can keep up a strenuous activity, as well as your fortitude at resisting diseases. - Spoiler:
0 You're made of glass, and your bones break just by moving too fast.
1 You're pretty delicate. You can't take a punch to save your life.
2 You've got a weak immune system, and don't really like manual labour.
3 You're the average guy. Some vitamins couldn't hurt you.
4 Above average, you can take some decent punches, and rarely have a sick day.
5 You can't remember the last time you were sick, and enjoy things like hiking up mountains on you're off days.
6 You are a beast. You can take a chair to the back of the head like a champ, and probably a boulder or two to the face before you go down.
7 You make that guy that takes cannon balls to the stomach for the Circus look like a wuss.
Fighting Skills - This is how well you can hold your own in a non bending fashion. Plus your reflexes. - Spoiler:
0 You're comatose. Why would anyone want to pick a fight with someone like you?
1 You're a bit on the slow side, and a lot on the clumsy side. You might just do more damage to your surroundings than your target.
2 You've got the basics to go on. You can at least land a punch
3 You've been training. You have some basic kicks and throws down.
4 A sport fighter is what you are. You've obviously got some experience.
5 You were made for real combat. You fight like a man well trained.
6 You obviously know what you're doing. You carry yourself in a way that's a bit unreal.
7 Shazam! Most people don't even know what hit them by the time you're done. You're the embodiment of pain.
Bending power- How much influence you have over your chosen element. - Spoiler:
0 You're a non bender
1 There are some Trainees with more oopmh than you.
2 You're getting the hang of things, and can move reasonably sized portions of your elements.
3 You have decent power, and can tussle with most people
4 You're a natural at this. You have more power than the majority.
5 You can do some serious heavy lifting. Only a fool gets on your wrong side.
6 You can shift rivers, make rock slides part around you, generate an inferno on a whim, or stop a Tornado cold.
7 You must be the next incarnation of the Avatar! Either that, or they are the only person with more raw power than you hold.
Bending Form - This explains how much fine control you have over your element. A little practice can go along way. (Non Benders can learn bending forms to make them better fighters.) - Spoiler:
0 You've never Looked at a bending form before.
1 You're copying some of the things you've seen, but can't quite get it.
2 You have the basics. Good job.
3 You can school anyone at level two or lower.
4 You're so good you have your first Sub Type now. Ice or healing for water. Sand or Seismic sense(The ability to see with vibrations in the ground for earth. Lightning redirection or Blue fire, for fire benders. Cloud manipulation or echo location for Air benders.)
5 You are like a ninja when it comes to the moves you can pull off.
6 You are a master at your form. There are few alive today that can match your skills.
7 You've mastered your form. Even if your bending is weak, you can do amazing things with it. You have the ultimate level of sub bending at your disposal.
Blood or plant bending for water benders. Glass or Metal Bending for Earth benders. Combustion or Lighting for fire benders. Sound manipulation or fog bending for air benders.

| By the way. What level of rping would you say the site is at? Is it literate? Are one liners acceptable? Do you need proper grammar and the such to participate? |
