[OOC] X-men Noir: Let The Good Times Roll

[YoshiSkittlez]

Awwws, poor Snark. I feel kinda bad for him.

[Mogtaki]

"Kinda" x)

Hmmm... This looks mighty interesting and a lot like something I'd enjoy. I'll have to read up on the IC stuff before making a concrete decision though. Consider my interest piqued. I've always loved the noir setting, and adding mutant superpowers just makes it that much more fun.

[Schradinger]

Are all characters required to be young students or can they be older adults who can serve as supplementary teachers and in support roles? I just don't think I could manage a teenager all that well and still be able to maintain my interest in writing the character.

[YoshiSkittlez]

We're trying to go for a raw, rustic feel so we would prefer if all main characters would be 'students'.

[YoshiSkittlez]

Nice post Ruby, only thing is...Snark isn't Japanese. The only 'Jap' in the room is Yukiko lol, but your awesome for paying attention to detail and you sure got Yukiko's interest with that one word.

[Schradinger]

I can certainly keep the character raw and rustic even without being a teen. He won't be perfect by any stretch of the imagination. My idea for why he's around is that the institute needs a medic, and Logan remembers him from the war and has Charles find him so he can go recruit him. While he may be an adult, he is by no means completely refined or pristine personality wise. He's a lot like Logan in that respect.

But if that still doesn't work for you then I understand and will simply back out.

[YoshiSkittlez]

I would PM Hillan and see what he has to say about it. He's usually pretty strict on characters and junk but you might be able to convince him otherwise. The only sucky part is that he won't be awake for another 6 hours or so

If you read Snark's profile, it says he's Japanese-American. :P

[YoshiSkittlez]

Tis why I had the other striked out :p

A) Estella would call a Japanese a Jap, just as quickly as she'd call a Japanese American a Jap. While no one there but Charles and maybe Erik know Estella used to protect Japanese Americans, it'd be okay if your character thought Estella was merely being ignorant--even if that's far from the reality of the situation. Estella isn't very politically correct, nor does she care to be in her youthful bravado.

B) Large cast of characters. Hard to know details on each character this early into the game. I don't blame Yoshi for that. Without looking at character sheets, I know the nationality of...like, four characters? My own included.

Could also be part of a character's mutation, long life. Look at Logan. Your character could appear 18, and be 40. Or you could simply have a character that's 18 going on 40, like my character.

[Schradinger]

Long life is actually one of the side effects of his mutation. Are you sure yours isn't prescience? Lol. I'll PM Hillan and await his word on the matter.

[YoshiSkittlez]

It's not that I didn't read the CS, I've read them all (I did have to approve you at one point lol)

There's just a lot of backstories to remember :)

That's what I mean, though. I've read all the CS's too. Do I remember each person's nationality? What languages they speak? No, not at all. Not yet. Give me time and it'll all sink in.

Prescience?

I'm confused. =/

[Schradinger]

You suggested he be long lived before I mentioned anything about being long-lived or even what powers he'd have when all along he was going to be long-lived. So I guess both prescient and psychic work. That or it was just a bad joke...

[YoshiSkittlez]

Awwws, everyone is bonding XD

Well...kinda

Good posts everyone! Hillan and I should have something up tomorrow morning, or maybe when he wakes up in a few hours.

No, that was directed at Skittlez. Then I noticed the statement was struck out. And I think I know everyone's nationality, but only because I've read everyone's character sheets several times to recall details about them for my posts. I'm really liking the cast of this RP so far.
