Panthers, report in!
We're getting set to move; make your final systems checks, weapons tests, diagnostic runthroughs and status reports, and we're rolling out!

I don't even want to roleplay this anymore.

I mean, I love the concept and all, but I screwed up, 'pparently, and I don't even want to bother with it anymore. Dunno if other people are amused by it and wanna see what stupid things he does next, but I'm feeling fairly crappy about my character now.

Cause
You know
Like everyone singled him out. Maybe not verbally, but we can kinda read the posts.

The interactions between your character and mine, or anyone else, aren't personal by any means. Harold just has a quality to him that puts Cecilia and perhaps others on edge. There's nothing that I actually dislike about the character, and he's got one of the more outgoing personalities in the crew.
How your fictional character is perceived by other fictional characters shouldn't get you down - a little conflict is necessary for any story, character development, etc. If anything, tension between characters should make for a more interactive and fun RP.
I hope I can convince you to stay and stick through it - don't take character interactions personally. Harold could prove himself to Cecilia down the road, and that might be a rewarding experience in itself. I mean, we haven't even gone on the first mission yet; there's plenty of time for Harold to shine.
I hope you'll stick around, but if you aren't having fun, I won't force you.

What Aristo said. What you have to keep in mind is that Harold stuck out in a not so good way in front of almost everyone, so of course they are going to form some sort of opinion about it. If he backs up his words with his actions the others will certainly change their opinions of him; even without that they might just grow to like him as they interact with him. I hope you stick around as I rather like your character, especially because of how different he is from the others.

@WilsonTurner

Many of the characters here run the gamut between paranoid, cynical, and entirely disaffected. Someone vocally defending their strengths like Harold did is something that will rub people the wrong way.

I don't think your character's stupid. Neither the way you play him, nor the way you set him up, make him stupid. He's talkative, outgoing, and willing to hold by what he believes even when it draws heat to him. He's given us the most dramatic tension so far, and that's a good thing. He didn't make a good first impression, but hey, impressions change.

Just know that we aren't targeting you, and we won't automatically shoot down everything your character does.

@EmptyArmor I don't know how you do it, but you make all of those references flow together like it's as natural as breathing, and it puts a goofy smile on my face.

I'll get to posting IC when I get the time, if not getting enough time in 3 hours it'll probably take about 6 in the least.

I loved reading everyone's posts as they all got moving. Sorry it took so long for me to chime in too!

What everyone else has said - character interactions aren't personal ones, and it's not an attack against you either. And I'm looking forward to having my character work together with yours, and the pair of them learning from one another and trading off on skills and capabilities to do awesome shit together during the game.

We're only waiting on Jason and Cheryl, but if they're unable to post by this afternoon, I'll GM handwave it and we'll assume they both reported their status.

@Commodore RobotOopsies, I could have sworn I included Isabella in the first draft. Edited; she's on the left with Bernie, Harold, Jason and Cheryl.

@Aristo

Yo boss, when Cecilia says wait until they get past the bridge, does she mean once they get on from their side? Or once they pass our side?

EDIT: Nother quick question, where would you say a pilot hatch is on a Drek? The FM wiki doesn't say for Wanzers.
