Well, I was looking at another pokemon RPG, and saw how they had a crafts and implants system. I thought that that was a good idea, and would like something like it here, if not exactly like that.

So- to the actual stuff

Able to create medicine

Able to create items using various materials

Implant stuff like precious metals/jewels and some more 'magical' items for a special effect such as being able to use a new attack, being slightly more damage-resistant, being able to see better, or whatever.

Err... that stuff is all copyrighted, so we can't really use it. Although the idea is a good one... You'll really have to wait until SG has a look.

Link for convenience: Maiara Crafters

*Taken for trials at my site before anyone notices*

NO NO NO NON NON ONO NO NON NON NO NO!!!!!

First rule of Elemment Destiny! DO NOT MENTION AGITO OR HIS SITE!

I doubt SG would want anything to do with Miara. Her and SA go way back. And not in the good way. Still, I may be wrong, and SG can speak for herself. It is admittably a cool idea...

<.<

I mean, it sucks. :sweat:

Ah, hmm. OK.

Also, monkies.

x'D I LOVE YOU SJJO!!!! *laughs for several minutes IRL*

It is, admittedly, a "cool" idea. However, it is an exceptionally unrealistic idea, especially given the extreme lack of residents on Elemei with deft hands (or hands at all.. O_o) capable of the extremely precise work which would need to be done. In addition, people begin to go overboard, and given enough time one could essentially turn themselves into a "PokeCyborg" for lack of a better analogy. On top of all that, a system of our own would be horrendously difficult, not to mention time-consuming, and time isn't exactly the most abundant thing for me or most key staff members at the moment.

xP Nyeh, an entire paragraph of a reply WITHOUT mentioning the spawn of all things evil incarnated into a semi-human-ish form. ^^ *SHOT* ROFLMAO. xP To Ami/Tasha/others, I did that line on purpose for comedy's sake... xD Don't get too worked up.

^^ As for craftables, there is technically nothing stopping you, and in fact we do have at least a handfull or two of items that ARE made for the sole purpose of building into better things, though I may implement more 'building block' materials later. By leaving item-crafting to the imagination and RP skills of members rather than implementing a full system of specific formulas, staff is spared a lot of time, items are kept in check as the lack of emphasis on this ability keeps too many from trying it, and members are not limited to a small number of designs, but are free to make anything their imagination and persuasive/RP skills can muster! :3

-------

O_o We have herbs that work as medicine, and most that require preparation are described with the instructions. (Example: "grind into powder" or "mix with water".) ^^ Though if you know of any other herbs or other natural remedies that can cure things not covered (or scarcely covered even) by our current list, feel free to suggest them! ^^ I went through our medicine cabinet one day and added some herbs I found there to our original list. xP So yeah, we're open to suggestions there! ^^

xD Keep in mind though, we've got lots of medicinal items and like NO use for them.. x'3 Because, well, we don't force diseases on characters.... xP ... O_o Think maybe we should?

Yeah! A plague would be really interesting. I don't think many people actually use any herbs as it is. A plague would be an event that would get everybody to use them! And if you're immune or something, it would be a perfect time to attack your enemies! :D

YAY! Plague! I'm going to be attempting that at my site soon, so if you need any help setting something like that up, I'll be more than happy to help with ideas.

'Course MY plague will either kill you (or, in the case of player characters, make them very sick), send you insane/zombie-like or grant you god-like powers. Sometimes all three ^^ A whole bunch of legendaries will get infected by my disease and will go on a rampage, all controlled by the ghost of The Apocalypse Pokemon. On top of all that, it will be contagious. So you meet an NPC who has the Plague and they bite you; you are now infected. Characters can have a chance at infecting other characters by attacking them, too. And so it continues until the healers find a cure and The Apocalypse Pokemon is once more killed.

It is still undergoing idea bashing, so this is just a draft, but you get the gist.

xD I was LOOKING for a natural disaster for this year.. x3 I didn't want to keep the bad weather thing up too harsh, since it already had like a year of ruining everything. xP A plague upon the lands it is! xD

OK, we've decided that we'll have a plague. The contagious NPC would be a good way to implement it. But what is the plague going to DO to the characters? Will it be something like a bad case of Poisoning, where every few steps/posts/whatever the character takes damage, something that actually CHANGES the character such as Mgunh's zombie plague, or what? Just trying to stir creative juices here. :D

Ooh, a plague. Sounds interesting! Maybe it could be vaguely rabies-like, in that it can incubate for quite a while without symptoms, and perhaps involves madness as one of those symptoms? That way, it'd really cause a panic, with characters knowing that they or anyone around them could be contaminated and about to snap.

Oh, dude... a plague would be awesome. It does need some sort of wicked effect, though. I like the rabies idea.... a symptom of rabies, one of the early ones, is numbness, in random patches around the body... a way to diagnose it, if you're lucky. And aren't a rock type.
