[OOC] For Queen and Country

[Barrett]

@Ghost Queen
Yeah, I think that's part of how I would find it hard to play a dragon in this setting. If a dragon is around in a setting, I like them to be the horrifying end boss level antagonist. But that's my version, not anyone else's. Like I said, I really look forward to seeing your take on dragon.

_{Pls live in faraday heights, all the cool kids do}

@Write
Also, nice post. I'm probably not going to be able to respond until later today or even tomorrow but it's nice that Ryan is giving Nicodem a walk away opportunity.

I mean, Nicodem is never in a million years going to take it but it's nice that it's there.

Also they need to adopt a child ASAP.

@Roosan

Hahaha yeah Ryan doesn't like bringing people down with him. He's self-deprecating like that.

Also I agree future characters be warned cops may steal you and put you up in a beautiful home.

[Barrett]

@Write
Going down? I was thinking of bringing everything down with us. If everything goes down, you practically gone up, haven't you?

Exactly! We need a new Stefani or Megumi, stat!

[Write]

@Roosan

We can also go the Danny/Ethan route of adopting a nearly fully grown child.

[Barrett]

@Write
Adopt, steal, whatever works.

On another note, I have three characters that I want to make but I can't decide which one to do first...

[Write]

@Roosan

Welcome to the jungle.

[Ghost Queen]

So I'm a little too tired to make a sheet for Dragons and be proud of it, so I'm going to wait until it's not past midnight. Goodbye my friends, I'll see thee on the marrow.

[Barrett]

@Write
BUT WHAT IF SOMEONE USES THEIR FACES BEFORE I CAN?

[Write]

@Roosan

You'll just have to claim those faces.

[Barrett]

@Write

I thought about that but their faces are so beautiful I can't deny others the chance to make characters with them.

Or can I?

By the by, how are the relationship sheets coming? I'm really looking forward to more Aila.

[Write]

@Roosan

They're... Well, I'm working on em. I'll probably - with some luck, finish Aila, and Yuki's tomorrow. Not 100% sure though.

[Barrett]

@Write
No worries, I only joke about people needing to finish them. They're a lot of fun to read and I want to see every character have one but obviously they're optional and of course you don't need them to be finished in order to consider your character done.

Unless you're me.

In other news, I'm working on an Archangel character!

[cerozer0]

guess who's back from vacation! _meeee

you guys r hard core posters tho! and 40 characters? I've missed a lot dammit! I'll get some stuff up later today, then~

anyway, hope everyone is having a good day

[Barrett]

Everyone's been complaining about there being so few characters that I thought I better make another one.

[Grimoire Gaming]

@Roosan

He's creepy as hell(shameless ironic pun~), I don't know if that was intentional, nor do I mean for that to be offensive... but, older male who insists people call him "Uncle" and also serves sweet things?



Also, what the hell is going on in Edgetoun that we need 3/7 Archangels in our midst?? Clearly this is a sign of the end of days, and God doesn't give a flyin' fuck about the rest of the world.

@Silent Observer Corruption. Burn the heretics. All of them. In this one town.

[Barrett]

@Silent Observer
'Creepy' is an interesting reaction. I feel you might be focussing on the uncle (actually more common in France) and sweets thing to set up the paedo bear joke but if you remove those parts, do you still think he's creepy? Other characters are supposed to see him as, at worst, nosey (ha, puns for everyone) and interfering but not creepy, exactly, unless they somehow know everything someone with OOC knowledge would know. I mean, most of the characters are creepy when viewed from an OOC perspective; drinks blood, turns into wolf, powered by sex, older than time, etc. But in character, that's either hidden or accepted by the people that know them.

As for 3/7 Archangels in one place, it feels to like all three have gone some way off of what were originally their mission guidelines so I'd say it's less god saying "All of you, go there" than fate or destiny or something equally convenient. Did you ever read Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett? If not, go do that. If so, I think Edgetoun is kind of like Tadfield; the apocalypse happpens everywhere eventually but it has to start somewhere.

@Roosan

You seem offended, I'm sorry, that was not my intention at all. You're correct, I mostly said what I did because I love a good joke. Laughter keeps you healthy!

But yes, my first reaction honestly was 'creepy' when reading the CS. I would actually argue that he is creepier based on using appearances and things a stranger might find out first impression-wise around him rather than having OOC knowledge. Insists people call him "Uncle Rammie", owns bakery, gossipy flirt, bawdy jokes, sometimes wears slightly revealing clothing... those are all things someone can pick up about him upon meeting him and have nothing to do with his personal goals/species/history. The biggest thing for me was the uncle thing, which might simply be a cultural difference. I have never been to France, but where I'm from calling someone Uncle that isn't actually your uncle, or even a family member, is super weird.

Like I said, did not mean offence, I actually thought you intentionally made him like that, which I'd be totally cool with. Character variety is the spice of RP life!

[Ghost Queen]

I'm going to make the Dragon a preschool teacher.

[MiddleEarthRoze]

@Silent Observer

I actually got the same vibe. If an older guy who owns a sweet shop insists on everyone calling him Uncle, he'd probably be lynched or something where I'm from. I can see past that though, and he's probably hella hilarious. Gotta love rawdy jokes. XD
