It wasn't as obvious or frequent as Undyne. Just the occasional 'damns' here or there.


Huh, I went to check, but I can't seem to find any instances of me making Twilight actually 'curse' >3> the closest I found were Crap, Screw it, and Freaking... then again, maybe I missed a post in my search.

Undyne's were really mostly me letting my brain run off thinking about what one might say in certain moments if they were exceedingly experienced or driven by anime like stuff... I mean, seriously, That was 'tame' compared to some of the anime's I've seen. Keep in mind, I'm referring to the 'originals' of some series, not the censored and cleaned up American rehashes we get after the FCC or whoever gets done butchering what they were originally made to be.

I 'still' remember when Vegeta got his arm blown off/busted to hell and just went 'Dah-nit'! I had actually 'seen' that scene a long time before uncensored, there used to be a lot more blood and cursing in DBZ XD But seriously! My suspension of disbelieve refuses to wrap itself about someone being severely injured and stopping at 'darnit', unless maybe they've never been considerably exposed to vulgar language before and 'literally' don't know words that one expects to express such unimaginable pain.

Heh, just imagine if I'd used 'The Saint's boss' instead... He'd ruin everyone's innocence before day three! XD

Edit:
I thought of something too, and I'm not exactly 'arguing' so much as generally pontificating on the subject and providing what I've thought of to see if it might be of interest.

Twilight, being from a vastly different culture from ours that may well not use the same words we use in the same way [God, It's still weird if someone uses 'buck' instead of 'fuck' in real life, I mean... seriously XD]

For her 'damn' would just be a shorter version of Damnation, and given the intellectual element that is ever present, simple use of certain words might have less meaning than the intent or tone behind them.

I try to experiment with the cultural differences whenever I can... or, when I can remember at least, Wish I had a better memory sometimes. I could almost imagine her innocently asking someone 'what's a fuck?' XD or 'Why would calling someone a female dog be an 'insult'?'...

'bitch' could literally be a standard gender identifier for a female of a canine species where she's from. Hell, It's only a real 'insult' in our culture because, aside from the obvious element of intent to insult someone, so many of us consider a dog to be inferior to humanity as an animal, and thus making calling someone a dog an insult.

On a side note... I have as much a habit of wandering off on long winded TAngents as Twilight does XD

Uh, I've got to point out that Japanese is not a language awash with swears. Fan-translated stuff tends to make it more profane than it was to begin with. I mean, I know a few characters that seem to have no profanity filter at all, but that's hardly unique... >_>

Ah, how unfortunate. I guess I'll delete that part from my post and nobody will interact with Undyne.

Darn...a potentially interesting dynamic ruined by location.

Dern, that 'could' have been entertaining, but She's not the villain type, so I figured Mahora was kindof where she was 'supposed' to go >3>

Well, Clementine did get into Roanpur not because she's a villain but because she's a killer and the universe she comes from. Doesn't the player character fight Undyne in Undertale anyway? Whatever. I'll find someone else to pick on, like Invisible Man.

Honestly half of the reason for Clem being in Roanapur is because going from TWD to talking ponies and cement mixers without anything in between would've been the sort of contrast that would convince her either that she had lost it, or that it was all a dream, and in either case it wouldn't really be Clementine if I RPed her as crazy or like she thought none of it were real.

The rationale I've talked with Grey about is more that either a mix-up or specific ploy by the guy that brought everyone sent her to Roanapur and Krieg to Mahora.

Well yes, but... I 'really' don't want to spoil the game, outside of moments where Undyne might spill something IC D: Suffice to say, things are rarely ever 'what they seem', and the game is full of stabs at people who dive into an RPG like it's yer standardized murderfest where the real objective is 'kill everything, it's what the good guys do, cause everyone who isn't you has to be a bad guy, right?!'.

Ah, finally my post is up! This took awhile and if you have any problems with it or if there any errors please let me know. It was hard to make the Jax part because I already had Forneus' planned out.

You know, "can suck up the souls of the dead in a giant magic whirlpool thing" is really the kind of power that should be mentioned on your character sheet.

It's fine since I know where Forneus came from. In the future though, I would really like people to list all abilities that their characters can use from the get-go, to save time, okay?

Also off the top of my head, potential future challenges that will certainly be happening would be Space Opera Day and Superhero Day. The former would be C4 but in SPAAAAAAAAAAACCCCCCCE and aliens and chrome. The latter will empower people temporarily with great powers and stuff as well multiply the numbers of magical girls, tokusatsu, sentai, and Western superheroes in their capes and outer undies up the wazoo along with all their adversarial villains brought into the mix as well as random inhabitants being given powers.
