Alright, Stoner, if you like to use your RHG, then use it. If something's been done before, oh well. I'd bet your style is different than the other person or people. Your opinion is the only one that means a damn on this. Maybe you might want to consider a change if you constantly get called out for being over powered, but other than that, it's your own guy. I don't care if he's a possessed swordsman with fire powers, if you make him interesting I'm game.

I just saw this and honestly I haven't locked it because despite the original necrobump, it has continued to spawn an existing argument and discussion which I feel is more proper to let go here than make a 2nd redundant thread for no reason. If you wish to discuss this further, feel free.

I know what you mean rosie but now certain rhgs have become so mainstream. Actually stoner taking powers is not that original. For some it's the ability to be a copycat in battle and for others they just to touch opponents and they'll have their powers but elkious and snach only take powers after defeating opponents which is relatively new. I commend Rosie on her gladiator as its far from mainstream. So is mine but he isnt up here on SP.


Trends are a sign that a fad is popular and that it works. When tention and nhazul started using scarves for fun they didn't think "oh cos it makes my stick ORIGINAL durr hurr hurr". Maybe they did but they certainly didn't make it their main draw. For if they did then they would've contested the dozens of copycats who came forth and started using "things with cloths sticking out" like neckerchiefs, long hoods, capes, and just scarves still but in a different style.

People who try and make/justify obscure powers who think they are being original, aren't. Nothing is ever original anymore. It's like a con or a marketing scheme: there is only 7 originals ever and everything else to this day has been a variation or a reinvention of those 7.

We're ranting the living shit out of you Lethal

Animating takes time. So does making your rhg character demo is. Now, imagine my rhg character, Guitarii (which is the first guitar-as-weapon user imo, idk if there is one out there), was being copied by someone else. Like, no inspiration. He doesn't have any ideas. He just copies. You know how rageful that is right? It's like, you are the original one and then not much comments on your thread, and then someone copied you and gets more positive comments than you. How shit is that?

Even if things like RHG is fictional or non fictional, song or not, unfamous or famous, originality applies to it. Originality takes effort. So much thinking, so much resources searched, just for originality, look how I make my guitar weapon, took me an hour to draw it. I dont have originality in it tho lol. And. I asked Stan politely to make me one, and I use it. He somehow redrew a toy guitar axe and make it look better, there's 50-50 originality in it.

If somone copies you and gets more positive comments than you, he's effortless and douchebag. No copyrights asked. How raging is that. If he credits you as inspiration, then that's fine. But when he just copies the living shit out of you, then that's the time he is a shithead.

Unless he literally doesn't know that there's an RHG like that (e.g. Guitar man, literally is like Guitarii, but different story.) that's fine. Guitar man is made up

Honestly you sound like a little kid who has no clue what he's talking about. Your "opinion" is invalid and holds no depth. It is not an opinion, it is random shit that you decided to spew onto the forum in hopes to justify your inexperience with the whole "this opinion sucks" scape goat. That shit doesn't work, and if it sucks and isn't even thought out or explained, don't bother thinking that by posting it you're contributing to the forum. All you're doing is trolling at this point really.

On the topic of originality, no one has any complaints about the consistency of Terkoiz's animations?

Nope
Terkoiz is orginal
But I heard some rumors that Phil stalks your animations and somehow slightly imitates your animating style
