Working on fleshing out what happens during Chris's dream. Will be a slightly longer post than usual, so I should have something up by tomorrow

Ok this is for the future, for those who chose to claim the shards..

You will not have access to the complete powers of the shards, just what I call the 'edge' of it.

When each is claimed (IF they are claimed) I will list what abilities and powers you have access to..which will be minor at first..but you will get more as time passes.

Now here is a few 'facts' about the elements.

Fire..it is sort of a paradox..its power is at its peak when the person who claims it 'lets go of control', yet it seeks those that it thinks has the most self control.

Water - its power comes from total peace. To reach it's peak its controller must be perfectly calm.

Earth - Its power comes from the heart of its controller. To reach its peak of power, its controller must be focusing on saving, rescuing, or protecting others.

Ok .. going to give a little time for you three in case you want to flesh things out a bit. Some more pm's coming though. Remember the reason for these PM's are because they are either something your character knows and others do not (and you do not have to let them know unless you want to), or they are something only your character experiences.

..again sharing with the others is optional.

Will update tomorrow night.

Since we know (for now) what the water shard does...here is what Chris can do with the Earth shard..as promised it is not as powerful as the other three..yet.

Natures Embrace (Vines) - Causes vines to grow from nothing, which wrap around any target the controller wishes.

I'm leaving out of town tomorrow night and won't be back in town until July 8. Going camping in the mountains with my father so I will be without internet until then.

If you feel the need to NPC Chris a little to keep story moving feel free

(why yes I did copy paste this 3 times)

Well nothing has really been going on lately, so looks like it will probably not be an issue. Think I need to step up the challenge on how to close gates to engage you guys a little more.

Possibly, also I think it would help if I were more aware of what I can and can't do. So far every situation we've been in doesn't really require me to be special to solve the problem. I can't speak for the others, but I don't feel like we've really been necessary to the plot yet.

And the last one really felt like a Deus Ex Machina, not that I can throw stones either, I'll admit my ability to post has been erratic. (just my 2 cents, I'll try to brainstorm while I'm away and come up with something constructive to add to this)

Right now, all I can really comment on is the Deus Ex Machina. I agree..the vamp and the werewolf..are sort of meant to be insanely powerful. Regardless how it goes, your group is going to have to find a way to defeat at least one of them. Your characters are powerful, they are meant to be..so the ones that they face has to be that much more so. It will take all your powers, skills, and abilities to even survive, let alone win.

I've come up with a more challenging way to close a rift, changing the rules of the rifts again (luckily this is not a big idea..as the Rifts themselves change/grow over time)
