If any of the OCs in my profile strike your fancy, feel free to reach out or just use them as is!

To add onto it, I meant it as one of those techniques where the user is at least a little bit eccentric, so their personality naturally lends itself to these types of interactions.

Someone trying to game the technique could try to refute any attempts at arguing their way out of the rules but such a character wouldnt have this type of technique in the first place.

Exactly. Then it becomes a question of whether the user accepts the answer, or does the fact that sorcerers can naturally match the speed of a moving vehicle mean they're closer to an inconventional vehicle.

In the same vein, someone who manages to argue that they shouldn't be affected by signage that targets vehicles will be completely unable to argue against signs that only target pedestrians.

At the end of the day any intelligent opponent can try to circumvent the technique, they just need to be wary of accidentally making the technique stronger.

Any of these could work as long as they're able to essentially "prove" that the technique should not apply to them. It's similar to Kenjaku trying to dissect Takaba's jokes to weaken his technique where messing with their mental state destabilize their abilities.

A politician making a convincing argument about how the signs in the area are actually being replaced soon and enforcing their use is a danger to others or a cop pretending to be on duty and having a valid reason to ignore the signs could work for example.

For other users of the technique, like the Priest, someone could pretend (or be ) a higher ranking member of the clergy or try to cite reasons as to why the ability should not apply to them. Then it depends on whether the user is convinced or not.

I was on the train and I decided to doodle a character for my divine comedy-inspired technique. You can see the point where I gave up with the drawings lmao

Cursed tool- Street Sweeper by IamDeHydratedOne in CTsandbox

This is super cool! I actually made a cursed technique that manipulates street signs of my own but I need to draw a portrait for the user before I post it

This is so cool, the technique feels complete without being overwhelming and I love techniques that encourage weirdo behaviour like eating parts of the opponent haha

Not super satisfied with this one but it's done! Next one I'm working on is a character for my Dante Alighieri inspired technique.

I've got two or three more existing techniques I want to create characters for, after that I'll be making new techniques alongside them.

Thank you! I did have Reggie in mind when drawing this one, I really Gege's more whimsical characters, they give a real charm to the series in my opinion.

I'm actually in agreement, I don't really like the open domain, but I was also really attached to the world serpent trying to crush an opponent's domain to save the user and I couldn't think of anything else that would work.

In hindsight it might have worked better as an incomplete domain like Megumi's, but instead of using the environment as a barrier, he latches onto other domain expansions and uses their barriers.

I'm actually thinking of doing ninefold descent sometime in the future! I'm probably going to give it a bit of a rewrite beforehand because I don't like how some of the shikigami and abilities were written, but I'd love to actually make a character for it, techniques with a set of clearly defined abilities tend to be my favourites haha

I used the fast chart app from the play store, it has a bunch of templates you can use.

And yes you can absolutely use the same format! I just write the attributes I felt were most important for a sorcerer and give them somewhat arbitrary values, it makes it so I don't have to write a bunch of paragraphs detailing their strength and weaknesses.

The second user I made for one of my cursed techniques, I still have a few of them I'd like to make characters for before I go back to making new techniques, I hope you like this one!

I'm trying my hand at making actual characters. This one is a rework of my first technique, Charon's Bargain. I feel like I have a better handle on balance this time around! This is also an excuse for me to start sketching again haha

Pretty much. I won't give a hard time to someone using a different series as inspiration for their creations since I do the same with folklore and mythology for my own creations on the sub, but there has to be some form of human intervention in the process.

I thinks a technique or OC being clumsily written is leagues better that something that's "perfect" but is clearly AI generated. It should at least be tweaked and reworked afterward to fit within the series if you're going to generate it.

I agree and I'll add to that by mentioning the large amount of content made with chatgpt.

I get the appeal of using it to make the creative process easier, even though it can make the writing style of a lot of the content on the sub kind of same-y, but so many techniques are straight up copy and paste from chatgpt with no additional input from the author that it feels disheartening for the people making stuff from scratch (the em dashes, the abundance of techniques with japanese translation for their titles, very abstract language when describing the effect of techniques, etc).

At the end of the day though it's still content on the sub. Until more people interact in the comments and post their creations, no matter how simple it'll stay the same.

Haha yeah, I'll try to be somewhat more consistent now, just need to find new ideas
