Anyway, let's just move on with the story. The less we see of "Torture Wank Mary Sue" Lorenzo, the better.

Yes... because someone who is disciplining someone who outright talked back to the highest ranking official on the base and insulted them to their face is automatically a Torture Wank Mary Sue. Yeah, that makes perfect sense. -Shrugs-

@Ammokkx I think we both did, your complaints were valid, but the entire situation was a clusterfuck from the get go.

You are right, this was a clusterfuck the moment Ian opened his mouth and spoke back to a higher official. This is no one's fault, but Ian's, who should have kept his trapped shut in the first place.

In any military standing, no matter how insane, ruthless, or deranged someone is, you usually don't talk back to them. Ever play say tactical strategy games and see how the ruler on the other side is, and how if someone talks back they get executed or gun downed immediately? Yeah, that is basically what is happening here, except Ian is being given a chance to live.

Raijin, you brought this upon your own character and affected those around you, and this is in fact a mature RP. Now deal with the consequences like a true roleplayer should.

@Gnar The Missing LinkYou can have Ian breakdown in anyway you like, as long it makes sense with the character, but we do need to move this along.

Speaking of moving this along, I'll continue on ahead with my post.

@Gnar The Missing LinkI knew and accepted the fact that there would be consequences for Ian's actions, no need to remind me. Like I said, it was a cluster fuck from the get-go. But you can't call the torture thing discipline, cause it's goes above and beyond that. The shooting was disciplining, the torture is just overkill, but like I said, I'll accept it.

ON TO A DIFFERENT TOPIC...

So uh, Can I get any feedback on how I'm playing Serah? Am I doing something wrong? Making her annoying? Not giving enough details? Anything's fine.

Was Serah's breakdown caused by a trauma triggered by hearing the gunshots? It seemed to come a bit out of backfield in the post itself. Otherwise Serah's stuff has been fun to follow.

I feel that the torture is discipline and not overkill, because the rp is set in a desperate time. Which desperate times call for desperate measures. That is probably why they are using children, as weapons of detructions for the survival of humanity. And the children mostly likely have to be combat ready in a short amount of time, so punishment has to be way more extreme than normal. So Lorenzo is in-charge, because no sane person would be able to do this work.

Also I will be getting up a post after I read all the new posts.

It was inderictly caused by the sound of someone that might've been shot and dead. She convinced herself afterwards that probs wasn't the case 'till Elora confirmed her fears

Man, all tho talk has made me want to edit my post, but since Gnar's already working on theirs now, I don't want to fuck it up, Especially since I already gave him permission to write up Ian's breakdown for purpose of speeding along the story. Eh, I'll just wait and see.

@Ammokkx I find Serah's bits fun to read, so I think she's an all around good character.

Sorry about the smaller posts at the moment.

Also what are your opinions of Zan?

It's...plain. Lacks substance.

...To be frank? You could take him out of the RP and nothing changes. You're not really doing anything with him, he's just kind of there. No interaction, personality, nothing. Maybe you should try talking to the team more and establish a bit of a personality? Right now Zan's probably, and I'm not trying to insult you here, the most boring chara in the RP.

I'd like to see a bit more personality from Zan, since up to this point he's not done much besides train and follow orders. It would be interesting to see him try to open up a conversation with the others, or otherwise interact a bit more.

@Thanatos Basically what everyone else said, was trying to see if he had any hidden depths in Ian's question, but then shit hit the fan. You should try to give him something more tnan just robotic lines of response to everything.

Oh man, Serah and Elora have no idea that Sigma's currently ordered to gouge out Ian's eyeball. This is so horrible.

Serah knows one thing: Wherever Ian is, he's not recieving help.

It's...plain. Lacks substance.

Understandable.

No, its not insulting at all. I figured this was going to happen.

He isn't the type to talk anymore. His only reason to live is to fight the Cruxi, which doesn't help either. He probably would only do that if he was ordered to.

As Lorenzo stated Zan is basically a doll.

@Thanatos Basically what everyone else said, was trying to see if he had any hidden depths in Ian's question, but then shit hit the fan. You should try to give him something more tnan just robotic lines of response to everything.

Zan's answer to Ian's question would have been something along the lines of that "I don't have time for luxuries like that. And that I'm only alive to fight the Cruxi."

SERAH WILL CRY. IT SHALL HAPPEN.

Oh, the drama!

Well I will say one thing about the whole ordeal; it certainly got everyone active today! I'd say that's a good sign, if anything.

I'd ask how Ant's doing in maintaining people's interest, but seeing as people are ignoring his multiple attempts at getting any sort of reaction going (ehem... @Tancuras), and how most everybody else hates his musical stylings, he seems sufficiently douchey enough.

I like the contrast Antwon brings to the rest of the cast. His way of being jerky isn't overdone, and is actually amusing at a couple of parts.

Elora would have responded a bit more to him if it weren't for him walking away and exploding kneecaps happening.

^ Seconding that. Although we really need to get people talking to eachother.

@Dondude Ah sorry, by the time I came back online the topic had thoroughly departed :(
