The Proposal:[]
Hello Level 5 users. Today, I (Affectos) have a proposition for a new type of Nymph/Spirit, one based on the concept of Latin Ballroom Dances. In addition to a my reason behind creating it, I also have a proposed backround and Power set prepared. Once I complete it and if this passes, I will provide a powerset for the Classical Ballroom Nymphs for voting.
Introduction:[]
During my time so far in RPs, I've seen that there are Nymphs & Spirits for not only animals, but other aspects of nature such as healing, rainbows, and darkness. I decided to step a toe out and propose two new kinds of Nymphs, one that embodies Latin Dances and another that embodies Classical Ballroom Dances.
Today, I will be providing the backround and power set for the Lating Dance Nymph/Spirit.
When I use the term 'Latin' Dance, I'm referring to dances that originate from Latin America or Spain, the exception being the Jive which is in this class due to the speed of the dance. Dances that fall into this category include the Paso Doble, Samba, Rumba, Tango, Salsa, and Cha-Cha-Cha.
Background for the Nymphs/Spirits:[]
Both Latin and Classical Nymphs would have been created by and would serve the Muse Terpischore, goddess of Dance and Chorus. Other than that, they would share the same background as all other Nymphs/Spirits.
Powerset:[]
Offensive:[]
- Latin Dance Spirits have the ability to channel the intensity of the Paso Doble into powerful punches. The more powerful the punch, the more it drains the Spirit
- Latin Dance Spirits have the ability to channel the intensity of the Tango into powerful kicks. The more powerful the kick, the more it drains the Spirit
Defensive:[]
- Latin Dance Spirits have the ability to channel speed of the Jive to quickly evade attacks. The longer they channel this, the more energy it drains.
- Latin Dance Spirits can cause an enemy's ears fill with Latin music so that the Spirit can then flee.
Passive:[]
- Latin Dance Spirits are innately physically fit, possessing the speed, agility, coordination and flexibility needed for dance.
- Latin Dance Spirits are stronger when listening to music.
- Latin Dance Spirits can copy movements after observation, this would make learning dance moves very easy. It can also be used to copy complicated fighting movements. Only movements can be copied, not powers.
Supplementary:[]
- Latin Dance Spirits can channel the romance of the Rumba to entice people who are attracted to their gender in a manner similar to Charm-Speak
- Latin Dance Spirits can give an energy boost to an ally by channeling the energy of the Cha-Cha-Cha. The more times that this is used, the more it drains them.
Traits[]
- Latin Dance Spirits could find themselves often singing or dancing when idle.
- Latin Dance Spirits normally have an appreciation for music and dance.
- Latin Dance Spirits tend to include dance moves into their combat style

The sixth month power seems kind of overpowered.

While the powers are quite interesting, I need to point out that powers for nymphs and spirits species do not have 3, 6, and 9 months abilities. Their powersets only consist of offensive, defensive, passive, and supplementary abilities along with traits. That's because nymphs and spirits are usually created to serve the god or goddess and isn't really meant to partake in full-on combat; the powers are there to aid them when necessary.

I didn't know that there weren't monthly powers for Nymph/Spirits, as I using the Erato Power set as a base for this. By removing them, it removes the OP nature of the 6 Month power

In my personal opinion, I wonder if it's necessary to have individual nymphs/spirits for each dance type. I mean, wouldn't it be easier to have a collective dance nymph/spirit like we do with the music variety? You don't see "pop nymphs" or "indie spirits" walking around and to me it doesn't make much sense to have individual nymphs for each genre.

It's easier to do the dance than music since various kinds of music can be done to a dance style. I've seen traditional bullfigthing music, hard-core rock, and Pop music done for Paso Doble. I divide the dances into two collectives: Classical Ballroom (waltz, quickstep, foxtrot, etc) and Latin Dance (Samba, Rumba, Cha-Cha, etc) as they are the two separate classes of dances shown in competitive Ballroom competitions.

I understand that, but what I'm saying is that why do we need one just for Ballroom dances? Wouldn't it be easier just to do a dance nymph in general?
Oli Move over sis, it's Jan! ❤
If I were to dance in general, I feel like I would loose the uniqueness that separates Classical from Latin. Also, I wouldn't be able to fully utilize the list of Ballroom dances, and I feel the concept might get lost in the hodge-podge of it all.

If you made a collective dance nymph, in the traits you could include that each nymph has a preference to a certain style of dance and that their personality stems from that. To me it seems pointless having individual nymphs for the sake of uniqueness.

The only problem with that is that I don't think I can find more ways to add in abilitites based on Classical Ballroom without giving them too many powers

Well you see, the problem is we cannot support too many types of nymphs. If this gets passed then we might have to be voting on 10 other types of nymphs for other dance styles.

I see where you're coming from. I'll see what I can scrape up in terms of adding Classical Ballroom dance-themed abilities.
That being said, the music nymph covers a broad spectrum of music... All of music... to be exact, meaning that the user has the leisure of saying that the music nymph likes a certain kind of music more than the others, but is still "A Music Nymph."
With that thought, if you try to categorize 40 different dance types under a "Latin Dance Nymph" People will be upset because they can't remove the word "Latin" from the name because they want it to just be a "Dance Nymph". Next thought: Do we really need two versions of literally the same thing? The answer is no, otherwise we'd have an Ocean Nymph, a Sea Nymph, a River Nymph, a Puddle Nymph, a Pool Nymph, A Bathtub Water Nymph, and a Shower Water Nymph instead of just having a "Water Nymph"....
I'd like for you to notice that nymphs have about half the powers that a demigod has, with their powers usually totaling to six, seven, or sometimes nine if it is extremely necessary.
I will not vote for this until it is a singular "Dance Nymph" as I don't see any reason to have more than one kind of "Dance" nymph...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin_dance latin dance refers to types of ballroom dancing and folk dancing, it is a general label, not a specific dance, a general set of dances that are also categorised as other things, like if you do a ballroom dance nymph and a latin dance nymph, they'd literally overlap and that'd make ZERO sense, just sayin' BelladonnaTook (talk) 14:56, April 1, 2015 (UTC)
