Fedora, neck beard, “nice guy”, your kinda asking for -1000 with that combo.

Would you rather a dimwit arsehole hotty?

Really dude no need for that hate. People are still people, ima literal freak of nature (complicated case of AIS) but I’m still pretty cool.

Why can’t ya luv the big guy? :frowning: :cry:

Eh, i’d prefer neither but whatever goes :thinking::stuck_out_tongue:

Eh, what can you do about the painfully superficial other than ignore them and giggle at where their bad taste gets them?

I have a lot of fun seeing where this poll is taking everyone. XD Still super surprised Silic is in the lead (was legit half expecting Geo), not that I’m complaining, the crazy ones are always fun. XD

Found a typo:

And I think you should look over the length of the pages again, some of them are really long especially when reading on mobile.

And I wonder if you did consider incorporating a save system for the demo? I think it would make testing the different paths easier (especially if using a mobile browser that refreshs pages at impossible times …I just wanted to check my mails between reading… :sob:)

Considered? yes.
Do I know how to? not really.
plan to? yes.
Lotta work? definitely.
lots of time? not too much right now.

Hell I haven’t had much by way of writing time as if late let alone going back and reading everything.

Though thanks for letting me know bout the error. I really do appreciate that stuff.

I really do intend to but it’s been one thing after another. Really tough to get back in the right head space.

Let’s put it this way… He’ll see me and be knocked off his feet without me doing anything other than winking at him. :wink: :smile:

Now I remember what this quote reminded me of! This video! :smiley:

Because let’s all be honest, an Earnest or Optimistic First will likely provoke this type of response from at least one of the characters they create a bond with as they react to the world around them with innocent curiosity and happy-go-luck gleefulness.

I just made a new First. I was wondering if we get to pick a new power? Like elemental powers or psionic powers. First would be an Exemplar: 7, Regenerator: 7 in the Whately Academy universe

Sorry but that’s one thing I won’t be including.
Firsts abilities are set in stone as they pertain heavily to the plot and storyline.

If I get to make a second Freak story I’ve ideas for the protagonists to have unique abilities. But I much prefer having somethings that remain constant. In one idea i have the protagonist would be a member of the Carnegan family, a Freak mafia run by a first generation Freak and his 11 children all of which have control based abilities be it biological control or mental. This family member would be a Fleshweaver as in someone with the ability to manipulate flesh blood or bone for offense defense or even to heal others. But I’m still vague on the exacts. Still need to finish this.

I have a tendency to build worlds with my stories and plan/imagine several adventures within them. I’ve even been evil enough to weave Easter eggs and tidbits of my future plans into this story. It’s fun.

Apologies if the indestructible First isn’t your thing. But it’s one of those things I’m not changing.

Thanks for asking though, you did spark a few things to consider later. And Snoe luvs shiny new ideas lol

much luv

I love First as a character. I love that they are a mute. The mafia family sounds great. Will we get to pick to be a Fleshweaver like our old man or a Mindmaster?

Most of my favorite characters from movies, TV , and books have disabilities.

This would be the perfect First/Geo relationship! :heart_eyes:

Hard to say
I haven’t really nailed down anything.

Well you could always consider giving the new MC a power that is the exact opposite to the family’s power, or just completely different. Thus turning them into the family black sheep.
