[OOC] Beyond Expectations [AHeartlessNobody & Summer]

[Rogue Sloth]

I mean, he wouldn't like any nickname she gave him, since he likes the sound of his full name xD
I feel like he'd be more okay with Cain because it's almost identical to his real name, but she can still call him whatever she wants

[AHeartlessNobody]

I may have her nickname him Cae and have the humans accidentally calling him Cain because it sounds so similar to his actual name and they feel his name sounds like a weird two syllable version of that name XD

Okay, so idea time/things to discuss XD I just got out of the shower and for me thats where I do all my thinking, so I thought of all of these things haha.

1. The Silencer moment. So, we had that moment in the last rp with him shooting her with the silencer and thinking she's dead. I feel that was too good of a scene to not reuse! So I was thinking how it MIGHT go with these two and was thinking that might actually be a good reveal moment for him finding out what she is. I figure one of two things could happen. One could be, just as he pulls the trigger, she looks up at him in shock, the sudden movement of it causing her hair to move from her purple eye just before the shot hits her. Or he shoots her and when she falls to the ground, her body falls onto her back, hair obviously spread out around her and no longer covering her face. As in most sudden deaths, her eyes would be open and upon approaching her 'dead' body, sees both her eyes for the first time. Either way, she would be shot and appear to be dead, him coming to the realization that he just unknowningly killed one of his own kind. Of course there would be questions as to just HOW she is one of his kind, but either way he'd know she is in some way Lunairan from her eye. XD I'm also thinking with the silencer thing, instead of her appearing to be 'dead' for a just a few quick moments, what about hours? Give him some time to sweat and feel guilty haha

2. This is more of an idea of what to do when we get more characters/couples in. Now, obviously, I'm not planning on there being many other couples in the rp like there was last time. With there being so few humans in the rp this time, I'm thinking between 2-3 mixed couples. I was also trying to think of solutions so that it didn't get so tedious and time consuming like last time. What I'm thinking is, when that time comes, we could make separate threads for each couple. Sort of side stories. The way I think this will work is this; Obviously with Eve being taken under her grandfather's wing, Eve would have two conditions. One obviously would be to free Cae of any charges against him. The other would be that the other halfbloods would be able to be merged into the society just as she is being allowed to do. I figure with her grandfather needing her to carry on his strong bloodline, he would begrudgingly be forced to agree. From there, the stories of these two-three couples could be in their own threads and their own stories of how they adjust during this period, specifically how they meet and fall for their significant other. This allows us to still play them and their relationship in a little more detail, but also so that it doesn't interfere with Eve and Cae, as they would be having different experiences on the ship and wouldn't see the other halfbloods as much during this adjustment time. It also allows us to take those halfbloods and their significant others at our own pace without stressing, since they'll be in their own threads XD What do you think?

3. I had an.....interesting idea. So, I was thinking about how the Lunairans are forced to mate with whoever it is they are seen better matches for. Well, this doens't mean they would love that person, or even like them for that matter, despite being mates. Well, WHAT IF one of the human sympathizers was mated to a Lunairan, yet fell in love with a human? Thus, producing a child with not only their mate, but the human as well. Making one of the halfbloods a brother or sister to a full Lunairan back on the ship!

[Rogue Sloth]

I like that idea! Only thing is that for that to happen, she'd have to either disarm him or convince him not to kill her when they meet, because he's still trying to prove himself to his people, so he wouldn't be as merciful as Serix was. His first instinct would be to follow his orders and kill her rather than ask questions. I'm guessing she wouldn't know how to fight very well, since the only Lunairans who learn that skill are the ones in the military (unless her mother was a soldier, she wouldn't have been able to teach her), so it would be more likely for her to trick him or convince him not to shoot.

I think that all depends on my free time, tbh. I'm going into my senior year at college soon, and my professors are trying to kill me with homework ^^; Last semester, I had 40-60 hours of homework per week, so I could only keep up with one RP. If things don't change during my last three semesters, I definitely won't have time to follow so many different stories. We'll just have to wait and see how that goes!

I could see that as a plausible thing to add in later.
Actually, fun fact, arranged marriages have a much higher success rate than marriages for love, because the couple almost always learns to love who they're with. It's really interesting if you look at the psychology behind it. However, that doesn't mean every single marriage is happy, so it's totally possible for one of the sympathizers to leave his/her mate for a human spouse.

[AHeartlessNobody]

Well, with her mother being sent down to Earth, I would consider her a spy. Perhaps not specifically trained for fighting as soldiers are(being that she was being groomed to take her father's place), but they still wouldn't send her down to Earth without any fighting skills at all. I can see her having taught both Eve and Toni how to fight from a young age.
As far as which would be the reason for him not trying to kill her instantly, I would probably go with her convincing or tricking him to not kill her. Because, to be honest, she would have a very similar mindset as Cae and would kill him if she disarmed him XD
I'm thinking I'm going to make Evelyn of similar mindset to the halfbloods in the old rp, in the fact that she will hate Lunairans. It is kind of ironic, being that she is half Lunairan and her mother was a full Lunairan, but after the invasion and her parents and brother being killed, she would view the Lunairans as evil and hate them. This also means hating herself for being part Lunairan. The reason that she hides her eyes. She hates her eye with a burning passion because it reminds her of the Lunairan blood that courses through her veins.

[Rogue Sloth]

Low key forgot that Caeyin has his own unique ability for a second xD Eve probably couldn't beat him in a fight anyway since he could just blind her and kill her before she could react. She'd have to trick him either way so he wouldn't use it on her.

I'm very excited for their meeting now if she has that mindset. I'm wondering what would draw them to work together since they're both going to hate each other in the beginning?

[AHeartlessNobody]

Perhaps she uses her emotional abilities. Darker emotions such as anger and fear are hard to push onto a person for her, but not impossible. What if, before he could even do anything with his ability, she pushes that fear onto him without him realizing? Like, he has no idea why he's afraid of her, but he is. Where as, before she can kill him, he uses his powers on her as well. Kind of putting them in a loop. He can't kill her because he fears her for some reason and him putting her into those visions if she tries to lift her gun on him (him likely disarming her after the first try).

I'm wondering that too XD For her, I can see her using him to learn more about the Lunairans and use him as leverage to figure out how to survive. A 'I hate you but need you' sort of thing. Not sure if there would be anything about her to draw him to work with her.

[Rogue Sloth]

Hmm fear would just encourage him to want to kill her in self-defense if he thinks she's a threat. Lunairan soldiers are trained not to back down in a fight unless they receive orders to do so from a higher up. Also, fear tends to make people more irrational, so he'd be even less willing to talk.

She could pull the a similar trick that Cassie did on Serix by pretending to beg for her life and saying that she'll lead him to other humans if he doesn't kill her. That would work, because he would want the bragging right to say he wiped out the rest of the humans. When they're in the plane, maybe she could trick him or catch him by surprise somehow and cuff him to something in the plane, so he couldn't kill her or tell the other Lunairans where she is. They'd end up at kind of a standoff, because he'd be stuck there against his will, and she wouldn't quite know what to do with him either.

[AHeartlessNobody]

That sounds good to me XD She'll handcuff and hold him prisoner lol.

Done with my post lol. I pulled a little more from the old rp, but made it different at the same time ;^_^ Hope it was okay as I did kinda use him a little during the chase scene.

[Rogue Sloth]

Eyyy, first fully original post from me xD

It's fine! I used Eve a tiny bit at the end of mine.

[AHeartlessNobody]

Working on my post now X3 I don't think I'll be borrowing anything else for it, as these interactions are taking a completely new path of how they interact haha.

Oh also, should the Lunairans have their own language? Like, with him speaking and it being Lunairan, she would be able to understand him because it was her mother's native language and she would have been taught it and be fluent in it just as well as she is in English. I was thinking it would be interesting for him to think that perhaps the Lunairan and human language is the same, only to be totally confused when they meet the halfbloods who all speak the human language that he can't understand XD

So, idea. As I was reading your post, I got to thinking about Evelyn and Cae's abilities. What if, in the future while she still pretty much hates him and him the same, she's able to find a way around his ability? Like, at first she has no idea how he suddenly keeps disappearing like that, but when she finally figures it out in the middle of one of the visions, she manages to 'crack through' the vision to see him and the world around them. Kind of like her own mental abilities sense the danger and break through it for her? It woudl kind of be another 'what the hell?' moment for him before actually finding out what she is, wondering how what he thought is a weak and defenseless human was able to break through the very ability he defeated many of the much superior Lunairans with. Of course, this wouldn't happen until a little bit later, but I thought it would be an interesting first view of just how powerful she is compared to even Lunairans with above average abilities.

Another idea: This is something I was thinking about as I went to sleep last night, and that's the process of announcing future mates before the Lunairan community. I just don't see them going up to a person and saying 'so and so is going to be your mate' and not announcing it to the others in the community. And a weird sort of set up came to mind. It's almost visually similar to the Hunger Games reaping. With the males on one side and females on the other. Rather than the bowl with names of course though, its a list with the predetermined mates for that 'season'. Keeping in mind that while all the unmated males and females are out there in those two groups, not all of them will be mated depending on their compatibility. I can picture it being nerve wracking for some, wondering if this season will finally be the season they get a mate. And for others, the barren males or females unable to repopulate, it being a torturous event, knowing they will NEVER have their names called.

What do you think of these two?

[Rogue Sloth]

I'm good with that. It makes more sense than them all speaking the same language tbh xD

I'd say if we go with that, then maybe we shouldn't have her also be able to use his ability. I don't want to give her every single power in the book, because it would be a little over the top. Also, if she can break free of his visions, then I think it would make sense for her to be able to put up a barrier to keep others out of her mind completely. All Lunairans are capable of doing that, but maybe hers is more powerful, since none of the others can block Caeyin out like she can.

If you've ever read the book series Matched, I imagine it would go like that. Pretty much what you're describing, except it's a festive event ^^

Also, side note: the Beasts remind me of A Quiet Place so much xD

[AHeartlessNobody]

Sounds good XD It can be just his haha. I can imagine it working to dismantle any mental attacks on her person.

I've never read that series XD Obviously I'm sure it would be a celebration for the Lunairans as well, at least the ones chosen anyway. But still scary and nerve wrecking for those waiting and wondering it they are finally found worthy of being mated.

Thats what I was kinda going for XD Thats where I got the idea from haha

[Rogue Sloth]

That ability makes a lot of sense for her, since the people in her lineage would need to keep secrets from the other Lunairans, so they'd need a way to keep others from prying at their minds.

It's been a while since I've read it, but it's a dystopian that has a similar premise for relationships, where every marriage is decided based on compatibility that's decided by a select group of people. Every once in a while (I don't remember how often), all of the single people get together with their families (for the Lunairans, I'd imagine they would be grouped with their clans) for a banquet. At the end of the meal, there's a big TV screen that announces each paired couple by showing their names and photos side by side. When a couple is declared, the two have to stand up so they can see each other, and then after the banquet is over, they go find each other to meet.

For the Lunairans, the leaders would assign someone to announce every couple in person rather than use a TV screen, and their courting would officially begin the day after the banquet. The mating ceremonies only happen one day at a time (the first starts five days after the banquet), so the length of their courtships depend on when they're assigned to be mated. It's always between 5-15 days though, because the maximum amount of Lunairans that get paired off at a single banquet is 10

[AHeartlessNobody]

Sounds good XD I'm thinking that, once the half bloods get pushed into the Lunairan society, the ones not already mated by Eve's mother would too would get thrown into the pool of candidates for mates. I can imagine from there it would probably get really sticky as, with their special abilities and such, they would get paired off pretty quickly by secret order of the Leaders, hoping to get more Lunairan offspring with such abilities as well. Even though the Lunairans and their families would probably be pretty pissed that these dirty blooded beings are getting mated off to their sons and daughters XD

Also, sorry for the wait. Been a crazy few days.

[Rogue Sloth]

I totally imagine Harry Potter when we talk about pure bloods vs half bloods xD

No worries! Hope everything's not as crazy for you now, haha

[AHeartlessNobody]

I should be good for the rest of the day and half of the day tomorrow XD I've been watching my niece a lot, and that two year old can be a menace during the week days lol. But I will try to post a little more haha.

[Rogue Sloth]

I can imagine xD
I've heard some people call them the "terrible twos"

Glad to hear you've got some free time though! I'm not totally sure when or how much I'll be on today, because my mother-in-law is coming to town sometime later, and my husband and I are driving down to visit some of his other family tomorrow.

I should be off and on both days though when we're not doing anything! ^^

[AHeartlessNobody]

Sounds good haha. XD Take your time on posts. I'm very patient.

Question, would you have time with your schedule to possible start an Avengers rp? Been looking for someone to take on a Civil War to Post Infinity war idea XD If not, its cool. Figured I'd ask.

[Rogue Sloth]

I'm not really into fandom RPs ^^; I prefer original plots/worlds
I would totally accept, but every time I've tried in the past, I always got bored really quick and ended up dropping it.
It would be better for you to find a partner who would stay long term and enjoy it as much as you do! :)

[AHeartlessNobody]

Sorry that post was short. Figured it was best to stop at that reveal of her being the last human and all XD Give him some reaction time, if he has any reaction or thoughts to it at all lol
