Pixie physical adept cage fighter from an old Shadowrun game. She was a on-again-off-again love interest and black market betting contact for one of the player characters.

In my head her voice was a bit in the deeper and more sultry register but still youthful since she's still very young (for an elf). Still, now that I'm actually hearing something, I may waffle a bit on what I actually like. Like her hair, which I initially described as straight, I find myself liking her look with wavy hair even more once I started actually genning images of her.
>>97491427
Are you one of my players because that's about the voice I would make when talking as her. Wait, no, you wouldn't forget how nasally I ended up trying to hit her high pitch.

I largely feel the same way. I was burnt out on a lot of the genning because Bing sucks now and none of the other free generators were as good for what I wanted as it was. But now Grok is making videos I'm actually interested in testing and pushing bounds again.
Sadly, there's only so much I can do without paying and I refuse to give elmu any of my money.

Is this true, /tg/?
>>
>>97497288
If anything that almost certainly makes you not the main character. How many stories have you heard where a glorious Sultan or whatever was the protagonist? The character archetype is usually a quest-giver or an antagonist, or even just a background character there to set the mood.
The main characters generally need to be people who have a reason to go adventuring, meaning that they don't already have everything they want.

Bullets are for random people who are beneath the villain. A true villain always take their time to respect their superhero foes and give them a proper end.

I find it still useful for basic things and basic styles. Its censorship can be strange and inconsistent, but at least its overall output is still miles better than Perchance, which is only used because it has no filters. Except loli. No getting your Epstein on with Perchance.

>>97499389
Nothing worse than its algoritm-driven compartmentalization of people and content and its rewarding of flat interaction, not quality of interaction, which has made rage bait the default go-to for "content creators". Be it political or pop culture, what gets the most clicks is disingenuous or outright false headlines meant to cause knee-jerk angry reactions.

I didn't say that, and I think Twitter was at least somewhat improved after he took it over. I just don't like his personality at all, and think it's pretty demonstrable that several of his business ventures like the boring company and hyperloop were basically scams from the start that were never realistically going to provide any value to a customer. Not to mention him being a total faggot about H1B visas, and EV subsidies, as if he thought supporting a president running on anti-immigration and anti-green subsidy policy would entitle him to personal exceptions, which is to say corruption.

With the southern roads blocked the trade in the city slowed to a crawl. The Western Hills were difficult to pass in the best of weather, but fall was turning quickly to winter. Every trader said their standard farewells as they packed up to leave before the hills became impassable. No more refugees had arrived from the eastern desert since before Lancel had arrived. This left the town fully to themselves and they gave up pretense of being separate.
Andris and Skogsra met whenever Andris decided to come into the forest. They mostly talked of life in the town and forest or whatever topic took their fancy. Andris did note that her friend kept particularly short responses when talking about the Gors, but thought it might be due to the interaction with the kidnappers more than anything.
The first test of the flaming oil started a much larger fire than even the men had expected. Something allowed the flames to travel quickly and widely for the first few moments, but then burned as normal.
Ilska had used her quick thinking to twist the beastpaths back onto each other, keeping the flames contained within a limited space.
Ilska had never thought much of her sister Skivare. She'd been excitable, irrational, and petty, so her death had meant little. But Kastrerande was a worse leader for the bleeding rose simply by virtue of being a tyrant. They were not simply pointed in a direction and set loose any longer, but given targets and goals. Ilska was reluctant to assume control of the Raiders as their unruly bloodthirsty nature would prove troublesome to her well trained warriors. She decided to try manipulating Kastrerande first to see what happened.
In the meantime, the trebuchet was the pressing problem and she decided to consult with her new shamans…

Three nights later stones the size of horses flew towards the camp. The first fell short, and the fourth wide, but the others landed amongst the men. The 5th and final must have hit it's target as the legs of the trebuchet collapsed from a glancing blow. A unit of outriders were dispatched quickly to find the assailant in the forest but their horses froze upon seeing it throw the final boulder then turn to look at them. Before it could act further, they watched as a pale horrifically dressed elf walked from the forest, touched the leg of the 20’ tall beast, and they walked away disappearing into the brush. The Black thorn brayherd now had a Cygor.
Misgens for this bit.

A young lady is standing in a DOJO that keeps its lights low. It is afraid of being seen. It cannot run away. Because it is a DOJO. Old wood, warm air, HUMID, even, and a pink NEON SIGN buzzing in the background CHALLENGING you. Not like you know what it says. You never learned KANJI. That only makes it better. A heavy bag hangs nearby, glossy and as MOIST as your SKIN, the kind of object that is eager to become a PROBLEM.
You are thin and wiry. People underestimate you, ONCE. Bandages cover your least and most SENSITIVE PARTS. You produce gallons of SWEAT as you awkwardly smile with your POINTY TEETH. Your FIGHTING stance is SOLID. It hides your WET and BREATHY exhalations. You bow because you mean it. You bow because you NEED IT. Only the RULES keep the hunger inside the ropes, where it can do something useful instead of getting SCANDALOUS IDEAS.
Enter Name: Ignoramus Bruisefreak
One more time: [REDACTED]
You go by REDA. Names feel like ANSWERS, and you do not trust those. You trust the gap. The QUESTION. Your STRIFE SPECIBUS is FISTKIND. You like MARTIAL ARTS because they make you stop pretending. There is UNCERTAINTY, CONTACT, and nobody has a plan when they are getting KICKED IN THE FACE. There is the tiny pause where you do not know if you are about to land clean or eat floor, and you like that part a little too much. It keeps you upbeat. It makes you awkward. It keeps you from doing something embarrassing with your feelings, like TALKING about them to a THERAPIST.
Somewhere along the way you grew an EMERGENT CODE OF HONOR. It does not make you nice. It makes you FAIR. Fair terms. No cheap shots, unless they earned it. In sparring, you stop when they tap. You are a firm believer in SUSTAINABLE VIOLENCE. In everything else, you stop when the fight stops. Outside the ring you keep looking for fights anyway. You are not cruel. You are CURIOUS and HUNGRY. You get into POINTLESS DEBATES just for the thrill of conflict. You chase BLIND SPOTS.

Don't get me wrong, but with that forest fire done by trebuchet I was thinking about something that would make elves act as well, either by fighting it with magic or defending themselves from a surprise attack when the invaders attack townsfolk leaving the town, either due to evacuation of civilians, or something else. Right now it's brays who do all the stuff, so that's why I wanted to get elves involved in some way.
>>
>>97500599
Yep, the Bray's just act very quickly. But the elves would have seen the fire, and I'd imagine they do the elf thing of immediate deliberation! This demands ACTION! All those in favour of holding a vote on discussing appropriate battle plans say aye.
The Bray's, Gors, and Autumn, are all open to communicate and coordinate. Even Röst could be called on to be a council member if wanted since she's much more cogent of politics compared to the Bray's.
>>
>>97500692
To actually stop the fire, they would definitely act fast with something unorthodox like snowstorm or anything academy wizards could come up with. But right, they're more "think before you act", and their slow response were either result of facing something unfamiliar (all the plotline with the barrier and the forest being pulled away from the town), being unaware to certain events (kidnapping), or the stuff that burden civilized societies, because otherwise they could bring war to their doorstep.

Did some more experimenting with Grok and music.
Told it to have her play Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata. It feels like it's in there but not able to come out with anything specific.
https://files.catbox.moe/c9nmx4.mp4
It did recognize generic terms. Like a jaunty jazz tune
https://files.catbox.moe/e60lip.mp4
Or a generic slow, sad song
https://files.catbox.moe/5ln434.mp4
Maybe it just does modern tunes because while it didn't know the lyrics to Star Spangled Banner, it knew the opening to Piano Man by Billy Joel. Granted it sounds like an R&B cover.

So if it still burns, then I have an idea for another segment.
And as I said, I don't remember if there were any rain-related spells in D20, but for whatever reason I believe it's more nature/divine domain than arcane magic, so to act fast they would most likely summon a localized heavy snow as related to wizard class spell types.

If you report it, and it isn't deleted, then it isn't avatar use. Besides, the fact they're posting recurrent, defined characters you don't like doesn't automatically mean they break rules.
You just wish it was against the rules, because you have hateboner on anyone posting a character who isn't a one-time use only.
