[OOC] Magik Ther Was

[AlteredTundra]

Once you get to know Frankie(and vice-versa), he's very trustworthy, despite him being in the business of buying and selling information. >.>

[Necroes]

It's not a matter of being trustworthy. A couple thousand years of examples of people being betrayed to call upon,coupled with a profession that tends to reinforce the notion, has left Smith a bit of a skeptic, to put it lightly

Also, Tundra, I couldn't help but notice that Magik Ther Was is not in your list of current RPs in your signature. Do you not like us? :(

[AlteredTundra]

I could have sworn I did earlier. I guess I didn't, but it's there now. And ofc I like ya guys. <3

[Amalvi]

And post done, I'm really sorry for having taken so long

[Kissshot]

Awesome post! Love the pad -- made me feel a kind of brothership at its military usage.

[TaliPaendrag]

I posted. :D I hope that it's up to par! Also, I hope that it's okay for me to assume what day it is and the time of the year.

I also altered the description of Paige. The picture I had used wasn't really what I wanted, but I didn't want to take too much longer looking for a picture and/or writing up a description because I knew you guys were waiting. Hopefully I'll be able to find a satisfactory picture before too long. :3

[Necroes]

Show of hands, who shares their gender with their character? Just curious.

*raises hand*

[AlteredTundra]

*raises hand as well*

I DO! I DO!

[Kissshot]

Nice try, Necroes, you witty bastard

What gender is Strange? Who knowsss

Also, everything's sweet, Tali! Good job

Truth be told I couldn't even see the picture in the first place. I didn't mention it because I figured it had to be something on my end. Your description was more than enough. I tend to write short physical descriptions myself. I find it kind of a drag. :P

This guy. I do RP females from time to time, but when I started working on my CS half the characters in the game were already women (and still are), so what the hell.

[Necroes]

Sneaky? I was just hoping one of the girls was a guy. I've been wanting some tips on how to play the opposite gender. My female characters always come across as over the top, or gender neutral. I just can't get down subtle femininity.

It takes practice. I surely need it too. Of all the female characters I have done, they've always come across as tsudere. ;~;

[Necroes]

Yea, it doesn't help that I rarely play females. It's a cycle.

I don't play females because I'm not good at playing females. I'm not good at playing females because I never play females. Etc., etc.

It's kind of annoying, really. I honestly wonder if I'm actually bad, or if I'm just too harsh a critic of myself. I mean, the only thing I have to compare myself to is published authors, so... it may actually be the second one, come to think of it.

[Kissshot]

Personally, I always liked the idea of roleplaying a female character, but I never do it. I just end up sticking to what I'm used to

As a GM though you force yourself to delve into it anyway, in the form of NPCs, so you guys can be my critics QQ

But I thought people like tsundere.

I think they do. At least, I'm hoping so. I know I do.

[GreenGoat]

Lol. Anyways, there is no real secret to rping a female character.

Just be natural.

[Necroes]

Personally, I always thought that tsundere was an archetype that was created for the purposes of lame jokes. After all, I've never met any one who's actually like that, and never come across anything close to it outside of Japanese anime. At best, I've known a few girls to play hard to get, but that's as far as it goes. But, then again, that's probably true of any comedic archetype.

So, Kissshot, oh intrepid leader our's, when should we expect our benefactor to make his dramatic appearance? And by that, I mean, you do realize everyone has posted, right?

[AlteredTundra]

A serious note for me on tsundere, I just love playing those types of characters. It might be me being a huge anime nerd and by result, loving the comedic — albeit aggressive — actions that tsundere females do(IE Erza from Fairy Tail and Sakura from Naruto). Idk, maybe it's just my personal taste shining through. Though, this one time I did rp as a rather ditzy blonde character. That was really fun to play to the cliche ditzy chick, and she was bubbly at that, so that sort of added to the fun.

Also, I finally got all caught up on all the posts. Gotta say guys(and ladies for those who are female), you all did a wonderful job introducing your characters. I can't help but feel that I didn't do enough to introduce my character's magic. :(
