You know things were serious when I make the rant.

Quote from Drone
It's kinda upsetting that it took the threat of binning your thread for you to revise your characters OPness
but at least in the end it all kinda worked out
You expected that you're the one who persuaded Matthew; but it was really me, GuardianTempest! (That didn't come out very well)

I expect great things from you, Matt. You've earned your second chance.

No. You actually did something- Popping out making faces from three sides of a square repetitively.

Drone is like the Kagerou today.
can you figure out the anime reference?

Anyways, GT's post is tl;dr so if Error and another guy says its fine, then I'm fine with it.


Btw Matthew, don't fucking use personal insults on me again.

Quote from Matthew Murphy
I never said Murphy is limitless!!

Quote from Matthew Murphy
Murphy can absorb, store and process light. His energy capacity is virtually limitless, he is able to wrest control and manipulate light for a variety of purposes


I'm uh, pretty sure the word limitless means limitless.
CONTRADICTIONS!
I still think the character is a bit OP, what with being invincible and having complete and full regeneration, I've always hated those abilities.
What would happen if your character was against someone like the Handyman, someone who likes to break your will. When this character's will is broken, what's to stop him from using full regeneration then?
Like GT said, if it was some form of enhanced regeneration it would be fine, but having complete healing is stupid. Super-man-esque amounts of power (I hate super man, there can be no character development is the character is already perfect).

And what about a "new moon", where the moon is completely dark, would you still be able to draw your power from the nothingness?

Darkness usually overrules light, dark attacks SHOULD be more damaging than most other attacks, would make for some nice analogies and plot as well (even if a bit cliche).

I still don't like the character, and am not renouncing my "aye"

I'm not even going to bother reading up any of what has been said, but if your wRHG has 11 pages, that means you either did something terribly wrong, or you did something extremely well, and I'm not under the impression that it's the latter.

But, since I'd rather refrain from leaving a negative impression, I wish you most of luck in the future :).

We are debating whether or not the changes are acceptable. Come back here and tell us if hes OP

I'm gonna have to ask Matthew to clean up the tenth page that he referred me to. It was just quotes from GT and him rebutting and accepting things.

Matthew, make the list of his abilities and limitations clear and concise and we'll get to it quicker. For now the tenth page is just you accepting this, rejecting that. Make clear list of the revisions on your power/limits and we'll see from there.

Yeah I kinda dont understand if GT is happy because he accepts the changes or if he is happy that Matt is listening to reason

as of now, the score is still 3 NAYS

Anyone else who is reading, feel free to veto if it is OP. That's why we have this rule in the first place. It's a community thing.

I actually have a question about the title of the character
If he uses light, wouldn't he be Darkness' bane?
Why would you be the bane to the thing you use

Yeah I actually wondered about that. I interpreted it as he's acting as the Light's Bane. You know, like the Right Hand of God

Matthew... I have to agree with the majority here. Your character is overpowered. Venox and Nightwing probably aren't that perfect either, and I'd probably need even more CNC on them now (given that there is this "wRHG decided by the people" thing" which I think is awesome.).

Overall, this criticism is for you to make your character even better! What's not to love about that? Take the WL for example... My work and those of others are there to be sorted through by people in order that we might excel at what we do.

Those who can't take constructive criticism can't improve their talent.

Reduce your character's OPness, and then trick the wings off my wRHGs! I await your challenger...

Well, even Cassandra is willing to wait for your character to get nerfed. We're just waiting for the reimagined list of powers and limits.
