[OOC] X-Men: The Divided

[MistressCyanide]

I will post it up later hopefully.

[Assallya]

I also wasn't clear as I was writing that after a twelve hour workday. *grins* Not that today is much better.

Third Person Limited is told from the prospective of your protagonist and thus the narrator doesn't illuminate the thoughts or emotions of others, only what that person thinks, sees or feels.

Most of us, myself included, write in third person omniscient where the narrator knows everything, even things none of the characters can possibly know. Third person limited is recently very popular and is exemplarized by Game Of Thrones and Wheel of Time.

For example, my statement that Sarah didn't know about Pollock wouldn't be valid in third person limited. There's no way that Sarah could know that she didn't know something.

Thus, we could see and interact with secondary characters but not know their thoughts. I have to give this some thought because I'm not sure if it's even possible.

Okay, I kinda get what you're saying. Still. I made a mistake. When I think of creating a second character, I treat them the same as my first character. When I think of secondary characters, I think of (for example in this RP) Wolverine and Prof. X. Yes, they are controlled by someone (the GM) but they don't have a CS and they may be crucial to the plot, but they only occasionally show up. Then they go away. Then maybe show up again. I wasn't thinking. So I will just scrub Tea completely and instead use Leon (my Tiger-man). Tea's too integrated into Aya's past, but Leon has no such attachments and is easier to use as a secondary character.

Zagan-I posted something but I don't think I really wrote anything useful, if you have any ideas on how to go on you can control Xavier if you want though only until you have done what you needed.

Is it wrong I want Morph in this?

Yes, yes he is.

[CrimsonWarrior55]

Huh... I don't think it's wrong. But for some reason he feels like a Harbinger of Sentinels.

Okay. Ill try and post tomorrow eve. As its really late and im at uni all day tomoz (uk time for me lolz)

[CrimsonWarrior55]

Okay, so Tea's been scrubbed out, and replaced with a tiger.

Name: Yeong Lee
Nickname: Leon
Code Name: Tiger
Age: 21
Gender: Male
Appearance:
He never wears a top because he's always warm due to his fur (although shedding in summer is a bitch), and although he'd rather not wear pants, he understands the need for them... in fact the Professor kinda made it a rule after an embarrassing incident when he ran past the girls dorm sans clothes. Luckily, the Prof. was able to wipe the incident from everyone's minds, except Leon's as punishment.
Powers: Leon possesses the ability to perform what he calls "The Sonic Roar". Basically an hyper enhanced version of the fear-inducing attribute big cats' roars have anyways, Leon's is strong enough to destroy a solid wall. Luckily, he has a decent enough level of control over it to not wreck everything when he speaks. But beyond that, he can't control it's strength. He only uses it if he's damn sure it's necessary. Other than that... well, Leon is a tiger... everything else is related to that. He's agile, flexible, stealthy, has enhanced senses, claws, fangs, about 2x the strength of a normal human, and a highly dextrous tail. He does have cat weaknesses too. He LOVES to be petted, shiny objects distract him easily, he likes to chase things (and hunt things), and yes... he will fall for the laser pointer trick... Every. Single. Time.
Personality: Leon is a guy who loves to have fun. He's always running around, looking to for something to do with anyone. He's really easy to be friends with. He's also noble to a fault. Unfortunately, he's also highly competitive and hates to lose. Plus he can be very, very territorial. Most of the time he can keep it within reason, but really... don't take his things or argue with him when he says something is his. On top of that, he loves to flirt with and tease the ladies of the mansion, no matter if they are single, taken, shy, outgoing, pink, blue, green, fluffy, fat, skinny, he doesn't care. "A kitty's a kitty" (I'm sure you can figure out what the pun is. And it's actually ironic. He has no idea that a certain word can be used to describe a cat AND lady parts. He's actually talking about himself being friendly).
History: Lee was born to a Chinese mother and American father in a small town in Ohio. His only physical mutation at birth was his tail, but his parents loved him anyways. Because he was bullied growing up, his mother taught him how to defend himself, but only if necessary. As he grew, though, he began to develop more tiger-like traits. By the time he was 12, Leon was an adorable little tiger-boy. But this only made it harder to hide being a mutant and the stress made it hard to contain his more cat-like nature. One day, he ending up biting a kid who picked on him, sending the kid to the hospital. Leon was so ashamed he ran away. Unfortunately, that night, the boy's father found him and started wailing on him. Scared for his life, Leon remembered something he saw in a documentary on Tigers and roared at the man, trying to scare him away. He ended up both deafening the man, and shattered his glasses, blinding him in one eye. The scream led his parents right to him, and horrified, they knew Leon couldn't stay. So they sent him away to live with relatives up in New York. While there, Leon refused to speak, scared he might kill someone, and spent the next eights years as a mute. Desperate to help him, his aunt and uncle finally managed to convince his parents to talk to a man well known for helping mutants. Next thing he knew, Leon was standing at the gates of the X-Mansion. Here he felt accepted and free. He even began to speak again, learning how to control his "Sonic Roar", and getting back to how he used to be. Fun.

So... tired.... running on three hours sleep and the day is not yet done.

However, saw Spiderman and now I have so much adrenalin (and caffeine) coursing through me I just want to bounce off of walls.

[CrimsonWarrior55]

You lucky little... grrrrrr....

[Assallya]

Worked ten hours, went home for four then worked another eight. Your definition of lucky is somewhat lacking from my perspective. Worse still I have a company dinner where I am currently.

[CrimsonWarrior55]

Oh, I meant Amazing Spider-Man 2. The rest of that I had assumed sucked so hard. I didn't want to depress you by mentioning it.

[Assallya]

Lol

Nothing I'd rather be doing at the moment save for crafting a post. I have come up with a few ideas for a custom fantasy setting by watching people at this godawful event. It'd be better if someone from my department was here.

[CrimsonWarrior55]

Well, whatever you post, I look forward to it. Oh, what do you think of Leon? He's definitely more geared towards a support role.

[LovelyAnastasia]

*plays card game with self* Hm...looks like ve have a furry amoung our midsts... thinking of making a more aggressive character so I can get a ball rolling... i'll make it a guy...hmmm....native american guy or viking guy or asian guy....so many choices

[CrimsonWarrior55]

I'm not a furry! But I do adore Catgirls... and the White Tiger is my favorite animal. Beautiful, graceful, serene, lethal... It's the greatest compliment to give a girl. The only reason he's a guy is because the original Lee Yeong was created to be the brother of Tigress from Kung-Fu Panda.

[knighthawk]

Oddly enough, I was considering my 'spot' character instead of m.t. He's a leopard catfolk who can make 'spots' that work just like portal games. But I thought a portal making catfolk was too similar to Bamf, Yet i see them getting along just fine... too fine truth be told.

[CrimsonWarrior55]

*In Glados voice* Now you're thinking with portals...

Wait, see who getting along? Spot and Bamf or Spot and Tiger?

[knighthawk]

Yes.

Bamf and tiger.

Spot and tiger would probably be thick as thieves until they got territorial over someone or something.
