[OOC] Mass Effect: Borealis

[Fallenreaper]

Tia has over a hundred years experience over him

@Thundercrash

This is about the only part I disagree on, mainly if experience in years always trumps then Shepherd and his/er crew should have never won against Benezia or her commandos.

[Dervish]

• Tanya
• Kasyra (renting a sterilized room)
• Alexandria
• Tia
• Dexuret

@Fallenreaper

"Oh fuck, what bet did I just lose?"

@Fallenreaper

Yeah. I wouldn't say it's a trump card, but I think it would certainly tilt things in one's favour. Let's just say that it would be a very intense fight, and whoever won still wouldn't be in very good condition afterwards.

[Dervish]

@Thundercrash You're taking things waaay too seriously. Trickster and Fallen are simply doing goofy speculation, not seriously lining up a serious series of conquests. Sure, it's one thing to retort that Tia wouldn't be having that shit, but don't be a buzzkill by overanalyzing something that wasn't meant to be taken that seriously to begin with "MY BLUE ECLIPSE TRAINED TENTACLE COCK IS BETTER THAN YOURS!" Aggressive bullcrap has to stop. Relax, just enjoy the banter and silly discussion, and realize that this isn't a competition for who's a big badass. You're really coming across as standoffish, and that's not going to fly. Chill.

Cackling rn at the list.

That's a really sweet note regarding his relationship with his wife. Mind blowing sex and 1000% trust despite not knowing every detail. It's a pretty realistic take, especially how she's not created solely to provide tropey ~man-pain~. By that I mean you wrote his past connections well. So hella thumbs up 4 u :)

@DearTrickster

His wife, Arima, I think was her name (have way too many turians in my head), knew he had issues. His childhood reports aren't exactly a secret and she did get the basic gist of them, but didn't understand the depth of the trauma he went through. Hard for anyone to understand that without experiencing it themselves though with the ideas I gave the GMs, some might get the chance.

Dex... I would say is in a similar boat in terms of building emotional relationships or commitments, she doesn't trust easily. Her work as a spy made her cynical to the most extreme. She made a living off of selling secrets, while she would never regret the decision to start spying but it leaves something to be desired when it comes to commitment. On the same token she's not afraid to make connections. She could trust someone to know how to do their job but she couldn't trust just anyone with herself. Her relationship with Gal took a long time to build.

@DearTrickster

Vellios is rather hard, even for me to predict fully. I think he'll go one way, then randomly he'll take the risk. However, seeing him in a committed relationship is hard and doesn't feel right for him. I think the deep seated reason is he feels like he's staining Arima's, Kilia's, and Tiberian's memory by trying not to be alone.

Then again much like anybody who has gone a few months without sex her libedo wouldn't take much convincing. If Vellios isn't interested in an emotional relationship than I can see it working out. I'm still trying to figure out different aspects to her personality, so Vellios might not see her interested in any degree right away.

I'd say it'd be an optimistic maybe.

@DearTrickster

Vellios is patient, very patient like a crocodile which is the scariest aspect of him.

Hey, Derv, first of all sorry for nto getting my post up when I said I did, second mind if I ask you something abotu your first post? Tonka was checkign the fuel stores of the Borealis, but he didn't check the engine apart from giving it a cursory glance, right?

[Thundercrash]

@Dervish If that's how I came across, then I apologize. It initially started as my commenting on how I figured my character would react in those circumstances, and then my mind progressed into "what if" territory. I did not mean to appear aggressive, nor did I think that that was how I appeared. I do try my best to be nice, and unfortunately I am not always successful.

I find that is one of the drawbacks of doing things on the net; it's really easy for things to be misinterpreted.

@Mortarion

Yeah, he didn't do an overlook of the engines or even the systems. He just pretty much wanted fuel numbers to get a range calculation so they weren't drifting idly for hours and such.

@Dervish

Alright, thank you for clarifying

<Snipped quote by DearTrickster>

Multitasking is in his skillset, after all he has to be able to be a smart ass and shoot, right? So, yes I’m pretty sure he can handle the side action since the boy could even handle a threesome, if given the chance, and still have enough energy and dedication to keep going for more. His wife was very, very satisfied when it came to their bed life because he liked to make sure she was the focus of the attention and usually leaving her more exhausted than him at the end. So any female will be left … pleasantly aching and glowing afterwards.

So far those that could be on Velios’ possible playmates list are as follows:

• Tanya
• Kasyra (renting a sterilized room)
• Alexandria
• Tia
• Dexuret

Serena’s not on the list because, honestly, he sees her more as a little sister. :P Through he will get to know them and likely leave mementos of their night each time. And no, you can’t seduce or blackmail him unless he actually wants it as well. Sadly, these events would be more like friends with benefits than anything since I can’t see him getting emotionally involved in the same depth like he did with his wife. She was a rarity because she accepted she might never know his whole history and she still trusted him despite that, even not getting jealous when he still flirted with others. Through she also, often, made sure his attention and affections were given when she wanted them.

Final note: Yissss!!!! Make that a date, Trickster, through Dex will have to make sure Vellios has got the clear message she’s willing as he won’t push if she’s not interested.

Add on: Is it terrible I know my PC this well?

@Fallenreaper

Huh...interesting list actually.

He is going to have his work cut out for him...kinda.

[Dervish]

@Thundercrash And that's fair, but I think you might have missed the tone of the conversation, and understand how your reply might have been taken as somewhat antagonizing. I know all too well how nuissance of tone can be lost over test, so no worries, but I definitely want to cut off potential drama before it happens.

We're all friends here. Now, Vellios, Tia, kiss. *smashes two dolls together while making childish smooching sounds*

@Fallenreaper

I would love to learn more about Arima. Family connections can usually reveal aspects about a characters that even the character wasn't aware of. Vellios losing his family is an unimaginable hardship, committed relationships after the fact (even with years in between) could very well be right off the table. It would seem jarring for him, as a character, to be interested in commitment. Regardless, I wanna know moar.

When I read crocodile I cackled. Anything scaly makes a good comparison note for Turians <3.

@Dervish

Also fair. I suspect a large part of the confusion comes from the fact that I'm a newcomer, whereas several of you seem to have worked together frequently before. You can have a fairly good idea of what each other means, but I'm the unknown. I can understand how you would feel the need to be a little cautious.

Just better hope that Tia doesn't find that doll. She'd be rather tempted to burn it

[Rtron]

@Dervish

Come on guys. We all know Serena is gonna get drunk and try to pilot the ship and get us all killed anyways.

And she's the biggest badass on the ship anyways. Get on her level.

<Snipped quote by Fallenreaper>

"Oh fuck, what bet did I just lose?"

@Dervish

"The one with me. Remember, you said anyone in the bar."

[Rtron]

@Thundercrash

Serena's totally writing fanfiction between the two of them and spreading it too the rest of the crew.

Vellios: "Oh fuck, what bet did I just lose?"

@Dervish

"Considering you were drunk... I couldn't help push you over the edge and see how far you would go. It seems you went pretty far, darlin'."

<Snipped quote by Fallenreaper>

Yeah. I wouldn't say it's a trump card, but I think it would certainly tilt things in one's favour. Let's just say that it would be a very intense fight, and whoever won still wouldn't be in very good condition afterwards.

@Thundercrash

True, but my point still stands. I submit to the other stuff really, as there's evidence to some pretty rough customers in that group, and Vellios would likely die if they came down to trying to kill each other, but as you mentioned the one standing would likely never be the same again. He would make sure she couldn't take anyone down easily again and would remember him, namely as he isn't afraid to die really. While he won't know this, he's already scheduled, along with Nas, my wheelchair Cabal, to die within the Reaper Wars while trying to defend a planet from Reapers. This rp is dated at least one or two years before @Sundered Echo's Underworld Mass Effect rp before it died and another year or two before the events of the games.

If I came off as aggressive, that wasn't the intention. In addition, I assumed you weren't trying to be either so right now as far as I'm concern this is merely a conversation.

To come back to the point for a moment: The bad part about asari is too many people pick them because of that one single reason you mentioned and it becomes rather hard to have any fun in a fight scene if you're automatically going to lose to someone whose lifespan is always older. This logically, for me, also should extend to the NPCs which means Vellios should never take on an asari NPC who is about x amount of age beyond his own because he will lose and die. The bad part... all asari are beyond his age. This limits the rp's variety factor unlike the games and basically forces me into a corner I can't get out of and have to let the other asari on the team handle that threat and handicap Vellios.

So, that's mainly my reason for discounting that bit of logic because if I went with it for Tia then any NPC should be allowed the same logic. And yeah, Vellios' usefulness for the team plummets really without her crippling him.

I picked turian because honestly, Vellios was fun to make and I wanted a male PC rather than a female.

@Thundercrash And that's fair, but I think you might have missed the tone of the conversation, and understand how your reply might have been taken as somewhat antagonizing. I know all too well how nuissance of tone can be lost over test, so no worries, but I definitely want to cut off potential drama before it happens.

@Dervish

Vellios: "Are you kidding? She might eat my face off..."

And sorry Dervish, I wanted to explain my reasoning but it took a bit to write it down and I didn't get up before you forced us to drop the subject. However, while they might end up seriously hurting each other in a real fight I wouldn't mind Tia being a sparring partner later on down the road for him. They could both likely teach each other at least something I hope.

[Dervish]

@Thundercrash Don't worry, everyone I know here's pretty much the most relaxed and fun people you can meet. Hell, Trickster's brand spankin' new to roleplaying! We're popping her RP cherry (sorry Fallen, hands off. I will use the squirt bottle) with this very game, as a matter of fact. It's part of why I joke around a lot and have silly responses, I want to let people know this is a fun place to enjoy yourselves and have a nice friendly relationship with the other players. I've seen so many OOCs where it just comes across as all business and I think that kind of dries up people's enthusiasm. I think everyone here is definitely on board with having a fun OOC, so don't feel like you have to feel excluded or anything like that. :)

@Thundercrash

I only know Dervish, Sundered Echo, Zombiedude101 (apocalyptica, which if I think he looks hard enough he might realize that Vellios was based off a reckless Cajun of mine in that...), and Rtron really. XD I just mainly blend well with people.

DON'T USE THE SQUIRT BOTTLE. SHE'LL JUST ENJOY IT MORE.

[Mortarion]

Well, I posted, hope it's good. Sorry if it's a bit confusign, wanted to get Khosin up to date on what had happened in the RP
