((Yes, don't be so nitpicky about things right now Ani! This is just so we can practice how our characters interact with each other and to refine our skills. Although, so far your criticism has been fairly constructive, and we can all use some of that from time to time. You are good at picking out the stuff most people miss.))

I was going to try and post this earlier... << I guess I should have done that.
Ok, calm down everyone, it's alright. Though Taro did not get my permission, I still do not mind that he used my character for that little bit. In fact, I think he needed to in order to get this rpg going and allow everyone to be able to post something. If he just said that he was waiting for me with the car, I would have done exactly the same thing that he made me do. It would have just taken longer that way. So I do not mind this, especially because when you are writing a story about someone's character, you have to god mod them anyways, it's quite inevitable sometimes. Though of course it's always a good idea to get the creator of that character to help you write your story, in a rpg this can also be the case.
So Taro, yes you did god mod. No, I do not mind that you did since I think you needed to. Ani, sorry that got you all concerned but it's ok. A little god modding is allowed as long as you don't take it to extreme. Because I know that Taro knows my char very well, he was welcome to do that though I didn't give him formal permission. Taro, next time be a little more aware and Ani, thank you for pointing this out but remember that sometimes it's ok. Kaito, you are fine with the god moding thing, shooting Sorin is an example of a good and acceptable form of god modding. I'm sure you all know what a bad case of god modding would be.
A very good way to make sure you aren't god modding is to be out of character for a bit. Either state or ask the person if they could follow along with you idea of what their character should do. For example, let's use Katio's post. The best way he could handle this is this: He's not sure he's god modding but wants to shoot Sorin's wing. He could type "Kaito lined up the scope and pulled the trigger." After this sentence he could type (Can Kaito shoot you in the wing?) or maybe (I was thinking that Kaito could shoot you in the wing and then you'd glide/fall out of sight.) Sorin's reply would either be yes or no by role playing that brief part of him getting shot (or not getting shot if he didn't want to). Then Kaito could finish his post by watching Sorin fall out of sight. But as you can see, this would take extra time to do one small action regarding other person's character. This is exactly why god modding happens. For this situation, it wouldn't be bad that Kaito god modded a bit since it's a minor thing but he could have made it less modded. Some people will be accepting of this and others wont, but that's just the way it is.
Role playing is the easiest when there is no action, only people talking. But when you combine both, it's hard to avoid. So avoid it at all costs. If you need to or really want to have someone else's character do something, it's better to ask then via personal message (PM) or type it in parentheses. That's what I will suggest unless someone has a better idea.
The entire point of this RPG Kat set up is so we can do a test run. This situation is pretty unlikely to really happen in our RPG but we are just practicing to see what works and what doesn't work before we start our real thing. We have found the first thing that doesn't work: God modding. We have found that you need to be careful since some people are ok with it and some people care not. It's good that we found this out early on so we won't have this problem in the real thing later. So watch yourself, don't go too far with controlling other characters, ask when in doubt, be courteous, and try and have some fun. Bumps in the road will happen, we just need to find a way to get around them or fix them. Also just a reminder, not that you really need it I'm just going to post my little pet peeve about role playing. Please post in 3rd person. It's not a problem with anyone but just to clarify. Ok I think that's it. I still feel like I have something to say but meh. If it comes to me, I'll post it. Alright now onto the role playing for me.
Tusami didn't even look at Taro when she answered slowly. "No. There wasn't enough time. It looks like we..." She suddenly stopped mid-sentence. He eyes widened when she glanced in the rear view mirror and she quickly looked back to confirm. Something was chasing them. "Uh Taro, you might want to speed up." But as soon as she faced forward again, she was greeted with shattering glass as a blue creature came flying into the windshield and flopped motionless into the backseat."Ahhhh!" She barely had time to scream. The car lurched forward and she was slammed to the side by the sudden swerve of the car. "Oh shi-!"

Thadius decided that if these people died, then it'd be more blood on his hands and soul. He wouldn't...couldn't allow that to happen. His mind became very focused on what it wanted. It wanted these people safely deposited somewhere else...
Suddenly, a bubble of shadows surrounded the car and halted it's movement. The bubble lifted itself up, taking the car with it, and went to another part of town. Namely, the city park.
Once they touched down, the bubble popped, and Thadius fled into the shadows of the night so as to get away quickly if the situation required it. He'd stick around, though, so as to listen to these people, and find out who they were, and more importantly, what their intentions were.

Kaito chased after the car, gaining a bit more ground with each step. His armor weighed him down and slowed him considerably. After chasing his prey for about five minutes, he was close enough to jump on. He gathered power in his hind legs and sprang forward. At that moment the car became encased in shadow, and lifted into the air. He tried to follow it, but the car picked up to much speed and he was tiring. He stopped to catch his breath when he heard a strange noise coming from the opposite direction. He turned around to face the thing, ready for anything.

“Huh? Flying cars? Now I've Seen everything!” Momaru muttered as the mysterious car suddenly lifted into the air and darted away. “ALICE! Find out where that car went! I will follow that thing to the ends of the Earth if I have to.” “Don't worry, they went to the city's central park,” a soothing female voice replied. Momaru had neglected to keep his attention focused on the road so he had to slam on his brakes, and turn sideways to stop before hitting something that was standing in the road. Fortunately, despite the large skid marks, Momaru was indeed able to stop mere feet in front of the stranger. “Heh, sorry about that! I am sorry if I frightened you.” Momaru said apologetically. The next moment, his tone almost instantaneously turned ice cold as he noticed the figure was a mutant. “Wait, you are not a person; you are a mutant! What are you doing here?” Momaru cautiously demanded of the mutant. He knew that this could spell trouble, especially if the mutant in question was under LIGHT control.

"Hehehe," Kaito chuckled. "I am not frightened by your... vehicle. You ask my business here?" he responded coldly, reaching subtly for his machete. "I am... looking for someone."

"Ahhhhh!!!" Tusami and Taro screamed as the car suddenly lurched into the air surrounded by a black sheet of shadow and took off into the sky. "Taro! What did you do? Stop it it's not funny! Ahhhh!" She screamed again as the car suddenly made a turn. She couldn't she where they were going and Tusami was becoming more panicked, confused, and frightened.

"It's not him..." Thadius said. "It's me...Now hold still...We might get through this...I've not done something like this before..."

The armored creature's movements towards his weapons didn't escape Momaru's notice. “You are ok right? I would hate to get put in jail for manslaughter...er...creaturesalughter. Anyways, You are looking for someone? Like that black car that just flew off? Wasn't that weird? It was all like WOOOSH! And then it was gone. I have never seen anything like that before, and trust me, I have seen plenty of weird things. It kinda makes me think that something weird is going on here. That reminds me! I've been hearing these weird rumors about mutants lately. Everyones been talking about them. I didn't believe them until tonight. That's the only way I could explain all this weird stuff that happened tonight.” Momaru replied in his usual happy go lucky manner, which hid his less than innocent true self. Usually, his feigned innocence was enough to make people drop their guard and let Momaru do whatever he pleased.

((Errr...Kat? Your Earlier post when you met up with Kama...you were sorta "controlling" my post without my permission and I do see that alot when you and I rp...^^; Maybe keep it down or just ask me if you need to control my Character for a bit, thanks! *Teh Hugs!!!! * ))
Opening her eyes, she gathered enough strength to head towards the crashing sound. There, the white pup saw creatures and a male human examining the crash, all of the sudden...TUSAMI!!! The pup gasped and ran over to see if her half-sister was alright or not.[/b]
((Sorry for the short post...^^; ))

"Wah... wha? Who are you!? Show yourself!" Tusami looked franticly around. Maybe it was the passed out dragon in the backseat who was doing it. Confused, she looked for some other explanation but she couldn't see past the darkness around them. Then suddenly WOMP! The car came to a stop on the ground. Heart beating, she watched as the barrier receded to reveal the city's park. She got out of the car cautiously, staying low to the ground and lit up her eyes into a brilliant electric blue so she could see her surroundings better. She sniffed the air for anything peculiar. Then she heard a voice calling her name. "Tusami!"She turned around to see a small white pup racing towards her. "Kama!? Kama! What are you doing here!? I thought I told you... are you alright?"

"Most people aren't comforted by the sight of me...and you would see me willingly? Very well..."
Thadius took solid form then. A boy of twelve dressed in simple clothes. His hair was black, his skin was pale. He appeared twenty feet in front of the car and held still, then told them very little of his life.
"I once was normal, once human...then I became this. I am a creature of night and darkness...I have been given the name Shadowbender by my friend. Do you seek to harm me or others?"

Kama winced at the loud voice of Tusami and perked her ears down in shame.
"I-I'm...sorry...I know you told me to wait...I couldn't help it though! I thought that you would get hurt..." Kama bowed her head towards Tusami looking up at her with those sad, yellow pup eyes.
