A little bit about my OC for those who don't know

you were telling me to read the lore as if i was new hence why i informed you i was not. I do not care about the forum i never have i did this on a whim to see if people would be receptive to my story clearly i was mistaken to expect that.

I think you need to read the replies

If you would like I can post that actual full version for you.

you have some good points, but you also have some points that i think don’t really matter

just how it was written, this isn’t uncommon or bad at all

correct, but how is this feedback, you’re just restating what they said

it’s just shaped like them, it doesn’t actually create flowers

while arcanium can be made from any metal, this does not mean that you cannot create an alloy from an arcanium metal

I simply responded to every single point for clarification

my bad, i hadn’t scrolled down

okay but like, can i ask what it’s mutated with? is it mutated in combination with another Plasma Magic? Wood Magic?

i ask Wood Magic because of this primarily. imo, if you were to say this was purely visual (as in taking the appearance of a spider lily, but not actually BEING one), then it’d be pretty cool. how do they not burn though, assuming it’s actual spider lilies and not just plasma winding to look like one?

forgive me if i’m wrong since i’m doing research as i read through this and am trying to use this as an excuse to catch up on Arcane lore, but wasn’t Aurem retconned out of existence?

looking through the Lore Doc it doesn’t seem to be Prometheus’ main motif for granting Magic and also isn’t mentioned in general. but i won’t blame you if you didn’t know :person_shrugging: and again i could be wrong

i want to make another argument that’s not like yrni0’s (the only reason i’m making this review is because i will NOT let them beat me in yapping over random things.)

wouldn’t this be, idk, a little contradictory? to forge a sword made of Arcanium, which attracts, absorbs, and then promptly launches and/or is coated in said magic, alongside an unnamed metal which repels it (hence making it unable to absorb it in the first place.)

personally, a sword made of arcanium and a shield made out of this unnamed metal would be both cooler and make more sense, or hell, dual blades even.

also, i wish you would’ve given a name to it. it doesn’t have to be anything complicated. hell, i would’ve been fine with even something as stupid as “Repelium.” just SOMETHING to make it feel more accurate lore-wise.

contrary to my previous argument, this time i’m directly repeating what yrni0’s; what happened?

i know you said you made a full 15-page lore doc about this so i hope the whole event is more fully-fleshed out in there, because to not only show how unconfident your MC was before the fight, and he somehow wins just feels… boring?

it’d be like if i took one of the most anticipated fights in something like, oh, i don’t know, Seven Deadly Sins, and added it with poor animation! Oh… right.

saying that Ares, a literal god, who in the Arcane universe, we’ve only seen weakened, zombified forms of, just somehow got defeated feels really, what’s the word, not undermining. really anticlimatic.

okay i have a few gripes with this paragraph here.

first off, like yrni0 said (sorry i keep repeating their statements but i’m pretty much basing this whole thing from them), why represent Ares with a red spider lily?

spiders, spider lilies, or even the color red (for the most part) don’t represent Ares, with red only being arguable because of warfare/bloodshed.

secondly, why does absorbing a flower give him immortality? i understand it was like, part of Ares or whatever, but from what i can see no form of immortality can realistically be given from a god when they’re near death like that.

if that were the case, i feel Poseidon would’ve given us more than his essence (and a non-canon Awakening.) i suppose you could maybe argue this and say that he like, looted Ares’ godlike strength, but that wouldn’t make much sense either so idrk.

THIRDLY, you used his part-immortality as an argument against him winning not being able to breath in space, but you ALSO mentioned that he just doesn’t age and is NOT unkillable.

choking to death because of zero oxygen or freezing to death because space is just that cold aren’t age-related things, so he’d die regardless.

other than the argument that’s already been made that Lancelot is canonical and this is not, so it feels like a weird non-canon retconn, there’s also the other argument that’s already been said that Cursebeard is a tyrant, so why would he devote his life to destroying said tyranny?

in fact, the same people who killed his family have the EXACT SAME ideas as Cursebeard; get lots of magic and rule the world. Cursebeard FORCED Prometheus into a corner and made him make curses so he could absorb them. those kidnappers FORCED your OC to work for them, using his magic at their own will.


Final thoughts uh… i think i yapped enough so just read above :grin:

also, yeah the punctuation makes this painful to read because of the sheer amount of run-ons (i’ll let spelling mistakes slide)

you can use commas and still not use 100% perfect grammar like punctuation and capitalization. with big lore dumps/suggestions especially like this, you REALLY need punctuation or you’re gonna get a whole lot of “i ain’t readin’ allat” replies.

kk bye bye love yall :heart_hands: feel free to correct me on anything i got wrong cause i’m definitely not up-to-date on Arcane lore.

oh okay you named the metal here.

Darksilver doesn’t feel like a proper parallel to Arcanium in terms of namesake but it works well enough i guess

i’d rather some name than no name at all

mutations aren’t actually combinations in aa iirc, just one magic changing into another, meaning you don’t need both water magic and wind magic to get ice magic

ohhhhhh okay, that’s nice to know. so it’s just purely random, all you need is one of the base magics and it can turn into a combination of two?

they’re not combinations, some magics just share mutations, but yes, you only need one

I understand and find all of them satisfactory except a few like:

No? I actually looked it up this time, and I can’t find anything regarding that.

Erm, aktually, it’s the union of the power of Creation and Chaos, sources of everything in the arcane odyssey universe.

Didn’t know mb.

oh right sorry. okay thanks for the clarification

In this particular case the plasma mutated as a result of prologued exposure to a certain energy which is the innate ability he is not aware of i mentioned.

when i say divinity i mean creation mb

okay just another minor gripe here is that you did this like, 5 times in the post and a couple times here.

you sometimes just leave things blank, a “certain” person, a “certain” energy, a “certain” object, which from a reader’s perspective would come off as either lazy or unorganized.

these are things that, imo, should be planned out. hell, even if you don’t specifically mention what this “certain” thing is, the least you could do is hint that it’s foreshadowing at the reveal in the future, but saying it’s a “certain” thing doesn’t feel like proper foreshadowing, just a sort of “i’ll put it off till later” type of thing.

would you like me to spoil all my lore? im not putting anything off its all written I can simply tell you if you really want me to but it won’t make ad much sense without the story building up to it as a reveal.

you got annother way to mention something without litterally spoiling what it is?

I feel like anymore than this will cause us to get off-topic…

Feedback of feedback of feedback

True.

They specifically mentioned the white part, leaving to our imagination that the particles became donut-shaped.

I did forget the bit about sparks, but my point still stands: Why is plasma miraculously shaping itself like that? Sure, it could be the caster’s wish, but that doesn’t seem to be the case.

yall acting like he committed a war crime this wasn’t even that bad :sob::pray:
