Seems to me like you're taking criticism of your character way too personally. He did something annoying, peeps got annoyed. Whatever. All Raineh did was point out that it was a silly thing. It's cool if you want to justify your dude's actions, but don't get all huffy if your point isn't coming across.
The general consensus seems to be that it was a weird thing to do. You did the thing, it got reactions, go do a different thing. Jeez dude, its not SERIOUS BUSINESS. Mellow out and keep playing. :^)

Your characters sheet made him look mature and responsible. Looking at the posts in question I pictured a 13 year old kid just goofing off. It was actually quite jarring and felt totally out of character.

[EnterTheHero]

On a more (less?) positive note- and one in which I will hopefully be attacking no one- I just realized that Diego is probably not gonna like Emrys very much.

At all.

Ironically, they're pretty similar to one another- gifted with magic of one sort or another, only half-mortal by nature, really, really fuckin' old, and both of them have seen some SHIT (more on that later). But where Emrys is all brooding and cynical, Diego is still a pretty chill and happy fellow. It's just interesting to think about how they'll interact later. I didn't even do this on purpose!

@13org
Then stop arguing man. You didn't need to make his intentions explicitly clear OOC. Let that happen organically. It seemed like you explained yourself as best as you could, isn't that good enough? Raineh wasn't even being particularly aggro, near as I can tell. Again, you're taking it all too personally. I can't speak for Raineh, but I for one was just ribbing you.
I mean, do what you want, but I for one don't think you should just pack it in this early. Roll with the punches instead of getting knocked out, right?
This RP isn't even moving that fast. Take a deep breath and calm down.
@Raineh Daze, you want to chime in?

@EnterTheHero

Between you and Lancelot, we're gonna have some fun. Also, Emrys is gonna troll Lotte SO HARD.

@EnterTheHero
I was actually just reading your CS. I like your dude. How long has he been with the Agency? Kichiro has a very similar shtick, it's possible they're bros. Ghost bros ;^)

[Raineh Daze]

Eh, basically wondering why, IC, you would want to generalise from getting a new job and blaring music at your new associates to their overall ability. And trying to explain the disconnect when 13org objected to the general "what else would happen" comment. :T

[EnterTheHero]

@Dblade26 As mentioned, Diego was trained in trolling by arguably the personification of trolling himself, Coyote. So yes, this IS going to be fun!

@cuttlefisk Aw, thanks! I like your ghost bro, too! Also, I dunno- I was thinking Diego has been an Outbreaker for at least a few years, while being in Japan in general for at least a few years before that. Not a lot of other ways to be able to consider settling kami disputes "routine."

[cuttlefisk]

@EnterTheHero
I fucking love the Coyote reference. Fucking love it. Thought I was the only one who knew the old stories anymore lol.
Yeah, looking things over, they'd definitely know each other at least. They'd probably make an interesting pairing, being that Diego seems more light-heartened and Kichiro is all doom and gloom.

[Dblade26]

Coyote's one of the best tricksters and trolls around, certainly. Even Fae-trained Merlin is gonna have trouble keeping up with Diego.

Also, just the fact that Coyote now exists in this RP's universe makes me happy.

@cuttlefisk I have some Native American heritage (not a lot, but still) and an obsession with mythology. I also grew up in Alaska and the Pacific Northwest US. Knowing these old stories comes naturally to me. And yeah, Diego's probably gonna fixate on "Kichi-chan" a little bit, all in an attempt to bring him out of his shell. Or at least get him to smile every so often.

@Dblade26 *evil laughter*

[Dblade26]

I'll try and post for Merlin soon but in case I don't one of the details I worked out with Vita was that back when his foresight/access to the Akashic Records was working correctly he used a combination of that and demonic contracts to become incredibly wealthy and is currently operating as the 'heir' to a big mega-corporation that goes by Avalon or Avalon Inc and his 'father' is actually a magically constructed being meant to preserve his cover. So that's where he'll be operating out of while opposing the Outbreakers.

[cuttlefisk]

@13org
Alright dude. Whatever you say. I still thinking giving up is silly, but whatever ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@EnterTheHero
ayyyy me too fam! My grandma was Cherokee so I've been listening to those wacky tales for ages. I love their dynamic and it ain't even happened yet (kichi-chan? my cold heart is melting. ^^)

@TheFake

I don't see why you picture that.

All I was doing was trying to get some info. The most reliable way to know how other will act in any given situation is by observing their actions.

I still fail in seeing how his actions can be perceived as a 13 years old boy.

@13org

Here's what I saw.

"Well, now that I am already awake, we might make things a little more lively here, cant we?" he said.
"This silence is maddening!" he said, putting a modern electronic music to play and putting the headphones on the table.

He comes into the room, grabs a bag of chips, sits down and then proceeds to make an effort to draw attention to himself in an obvious manner.

Suddenly they started to play a lot higher than it would be normally possible with headphones. The music filled the room, loud, but not loud enough to be irritating.

"I've never said that I disliked the modern music, have I?" He thought to himself, with a smile.
"Come on! We have some free time before the next mission. Have fun!" he said, snapping his fingers as the completely normal lamps from the cafeteria began to flash with many different colors.

He then proceeds to, to paraphrase his own words in your next post, "act like children a child. Noisy, unsubtle, lacking social skills to infiltrate even a kindergarten. Lacking control of yourselves, lacking the restraint" Everyone else is minding their own business and he acts in a deliberately obnoxious way.

I'm sorry if I'm sounding too harsh, but in our line of work, we don't have a second chance.

to be perfectly honest, after a demonstration like that, he blew his chance at a good first impression. even with a peaceful resolution I doubt that anyone would actually want to work with him after a stunt like that.

"Next time maybe I should play a different type of music?" he asked, looking to them with a smirk as he walked out.

And then he makes light of the situation.

"Miss Miyu, I believe we have a... problem with our team. Probably you already know about my skills and abilities. You probably also know about my modus operandi. The brief test I made revealed that the team is unsuitable to work with more delicate missions. They might make a good search and destroy team, waving their fists around, yelling and acting harshly, but I'm not comfortable trusting my life to them. I'm certain they don't have the necessary skills to partake in missions that don't involve brute force."

He acts like he is better than everyone else, goes over their heads instead of sticking around to actually talk to them. This entire thing was absolutely the wrong way to go about this. To see how somebody reacts under stress, you put them in a stressful situation. you don't provoke them with a childish display. Maybe set up a professionally run exercise to see how they do.

[13org]

@TheFake

Maybe if it was your character.

But I don't think it is, is it?

I still fail to see what you meant by it. I don't see it as a childish display. Childish would be starting a food fight or something like that.

"absolutely the wrong way to go about this"

regarding MY character? ohoho! now you want to talk to me how I should act with my own character?

ok then.

IT IS FUCKING YOURS.

Do with him whatever you want.

I'm out.

Stop tagging me please.
I'm already losing my patience, and I don't want to cause more trouble.

[TheFake]

@TheFake

Maybe if it was your character.

But I don't think it is, is it?

No, but that is how I interpreted the actions as an observer. A grown man acts in an immature and totally out of character manner. In a room full of burly mercenaries they might not have kicked his ass into next week on the spot but they sure as hell wouldn't trust someone who just acted out like that. I work a relatively boring job and I sure as hell wouldn't want to work with someone who acted like that, even as a 'test'.

If he wants to trust people then he should give them a reason to trust him in return.
