[OOC] Event Horizon (Old Thread)

[BurningCold]

@CrazyShadowy You say "you people" as if you aren't one of us. Come, join in the festivities and merriment!

[CrazyShadowy]

@BurningCold That would mean getting to know those I roleplay with. *Shiver* Granted you should fear who I really am, therefore I should fear you. Well, given I'm here now I guess I have to join in!

[BurningCold]

Corporal NPC is making some headway.

[CrazyShadowy]

I ended up responding to him, heh.

[CrazyShadowy]

@LovelyAnastasia I like your post, the nicknames are interesting. I read your characters voice in one of those Russian gang leader chicks, it's interesting given how she speaks and the way I read it. I wonder how well your nicknames will last, and how your character progresses.

[BurningCold]

@CrazyShadowy I think she's scottish. At least, "ken" is scottish slang for "know."

[CrazyShadowy]

@BurningCold That would explain a lot, I still read it in a russian mobster voice type thing. It entertains me very much to do so like that. Still wonder why I'm Mr. Sleep Sensitive. So what if my character was up all night due to fear, he needs some freaking rest!

[BurningCold]

Woops looks like I had ghost mode enabled.

Anywho, Corporal NPC will probably be done tonight.

EDIT: I'm also willing to play him along with Gera and Anton, if I'm allowed a third character.

I'd mention you FF, but those don't work in edits.

[FortunesFaded]

@BurningCold If you'd like to, sure, but that'd be a rather large time commitment. I'd recommend having him just be an NPC until one of your main characters dies down the road.

@CrazyShadowy

Miora's interest in peaked.

Well, at least I am able to showcase her attitude accurately then XD

@CrazyShadowy I think she's scottish. At least, "ken" is scottish slang for "know."

@BurningCold

Miora is indeed a Scottswoman

But she is also a Saturian so the accent is thick and mixed with a little something else. But she is mostly a Scott.

@CrazyShadowy

Miroa's family is actually a big criminal family. So she's got that personality.

She's close enough to being a mobster, now isn't she? XD

They have a smuggling ring among the poor Saturn Moon mining ships. So her criminal background does come through then? Wonderful~ Ah, I am so glad~

And she calls him 'Sleep Sensitive' because she thinks he tired himself out with his own nerves. And she thinks it shows his weakness of mind. *nervous sweats* She is rather critical of people, so I apologize for her rudeness. I thought a rough and rumble personality, juxtaposed with an image that was completely the opposite in such a way, would make things more interesting...

[CrazyShadowy]

@LovelyAnastasia He did tire himself out with nerves, but also making lists and setting things up for his cousin before he left. He wanted to insure she would beable to have access to all of his belongings if he died. He spent most of the night doing that.

[LovelyAnastasia]

@CrazyShadowy She and that is the cool thing about perspectives: Miora doesn't know that, she's just making assumptions on looks, like most people usually do. And like most people, she's gotten the wrong impression of who he is. No offense meant, but, realistically, she is judging him based on appearance. Just like she did with everyone else XD Hence the nicknames XD

[CrazyShadowy]

@LovelyAnastasia That is true. He does dress like a soldier from the early 21st century and is trying to sleep in this lobby. While she may not know that it isn't true. I'd like to say he heard that but I don't think he did given how tired he is. The assumption thing and judging everyone is a bit BS in my opinion, I don't try to judge anyone or anything. Granted that doesn't always work but I don't care for that there for I don't. Always interesting and maybe her thoughts about him will change over time.

[BurningCold]

@CrazyShadowy Well not everyone (characters and real people) can be as magnificent as you, good sir. I disagree, however, that "the assumption thing and judging everyone is a bit BS". How people dress, how they carry themselves, the look in their eyes... it can tell a great deal about a person if you know what you're doing. And the truth is, everyone in the world judges others in their head. Even you choosing NOT to judge someone based purely off of the previous traits I mentioned is a form of judgement. You believe that person needs more analyses before you get a comprehensive understanding of who they are. If someone confides a dark secret in you, and you choose to accept them anyways, that is still passing judgement. You would be passing the judgement that whatever they've done/are doing/etc, they still deserve to be treated with fairness.

Judgments don't always have to be associated with negativity.

In Miora's case specifically, the way she analyzes these other people fits her personality well. She is, as stated in the character app "brash", "blunt", and "generally offensive". So unless that's all a projection, the same behavior exhibited in her speech would also be exhibited in her thoughts.

EDIT: To avoid another, uh, "incident", I want to point out that the first sentence of this post is entirely genuine. It's great for you and the people you affect that you try not to judge others negatively.

[CrazyShadowy]

@BurningCold Fair, guess I hadn't thought of it that way.

[BurningCold]

@CrazyShadowy Wow, legitimate props to you for understanding how debates work.

[LovelyAnastasia]

Everyone here is so wonderfully intelligent to have such a mature debate without going crazy about the opinions of others~~~~ I love this RP~~~~~

Royland

Name:
Royland Asterwick

Age:
30

Gender:
Male

Profession:
Corporal

Nationality:
British, Commonwealth

Birth Planet:
Earth

Appearance:
Vibrant, emerald eyes, light brown hair cropped short, and a chiseled, well shaped face could only belong to a man as undoubtedly charming as Royland Asterwick. Perfection does not stop there, however. With his well muscled but certainly not bulky body, perfect teeth often showed off in his winning smile, and skin lightly tanned, it’s a wonder Royland didn’t go into the modeling business. The man is natural perfection incarnate. He’s what Hollywood actors wish they could look like.

Strengths:
Primary- Royland radiates charisma, and it seems he knows how to please just about everybody. People find it easy to respect him, and in turn it becomes surprisingly easy to lead them.

Secondary- This guy has muscles so good you’d think they were photoshopped. He’s far faster and stronger than most in his age range.

Tertiary- Royland holds an advanced understanding of most standard issue firearms, being able to operate most ballistic weaponry with deadly efficiency.

Weaknesses:
Primary- Royland is here to find out what happened to his family. Finding and protecting them, or avenging them if necessary, trumps all other loyalties and oaths. Family doesn’t always come first, but in the case of Royland Asterwick, it takes first, second, and third

Secondary- Though he may be a magnetic leader, his tactical thinking skills leave something to be desired. Not an idiot by any means, but he lacks ingenuity, and when pressed will either follow everything by the book, or completely toss it out the window.

Tertiary- He has a strange habit to find omens, both good and bad, in everything.

Personality:
Ever the loyal subordinate and supportive leader, Royland is known to his compatriots as someone to be trusted and depended on. This is nearly true to a fault, the only clause being his loyalty to his own blood. When his family is on the line, you’re either helping him, or you’re incapacitated.

History:
Royland was born and raised on Earth by his mother, Cecile, while the rest of the Asterwick family was part of the Willman Lab, pursuing academic endeavors or acting as staff aboard the station. Royland and Cecile were close with the family members aboard the Willman, and visits to and fro were common whenever money and time allowed (Royland and Cecile visited often). Royland’s interest in joining the armed forces was met with moderate displeasure from his mother, who eventually chose to move to the Lab to reconnect with her siblings. The two parted amicably.

With Royland already being a ranking officer in the Global Coalition, on top of his exemplary performance and promise, assigning someone else to this mission would have been nothing but cruel.

Family:
That’s what he’s here to figure out.

[LovelyAnastasia]

@BurningCold Well well if he's anything like Marlon Brando used to be, i am sure he'd be every inch of perfection~

for those who don't know who Marlon Brando

[FortunesFaded]

@BurningCold Accepted. Brilliant of you to have his entire family aboard the Willman. That makes me reconsider my current plans for who the crew will find alive there..

@LovelyAnastasia I'm beginning to realize that you have a certain affinity for GIFs
