@Nevix Thank you, I appreciate the concession.

@Nevix Is the CS I posted all good? Have I got a thumbs up to join?

B!tchfest: a healthy release for our non-roleplay annoyances.

@MoiraEl Wait... So what words would you use to describe bisexual, asexual, heterosexual and pansexual? Homosexual is just a blanket term for gay or lesbian, since both are (for the most part) separated by gender. i.e. You're likely to meet a lesbian woman, but not a lesbian man. So instead of referring to two friends as "the gay guy and the lesbian chick" you could just say "The homosexual ones" or shorten it to homo, just like with hetero, bi or pan.

Words can take on whole new meanings after periods of time. The simplest example is how "fag" was the term used to refer to a bundle of sticks typically used to burn homosexuals at the stake. But now a word that was literally used to describe sticks is seen as offensive (much the same as the Italian word for "black"), while others like "buff" (which originally meant nude) or referring to someone as "black" are not. Hell, "dick" used to just be a shortened form of Richard and "African-American" is now being considered offensive!

The only way words become or indeed remain offensive is if you keep considering them as such or using them in an offensive manner.

Reed

Name: Reed

Age: Mid-40's-to-50's

Appearance: Minus the medkit and gun.



Bio: For the past thirty or so years, Reed has done nothing of any real importance. He sleeps most of the day, watches TV when he's awake and typically spends most of his time out of his small, studio apartment either bowling or playing the bowling alley's nearby arcade games. His earliest memory is of Rome burning while he walked away. He has no idea if he had any hand in the event or what he was even doing there, but his long life involved travelling from land to land. He remembers fighting as a soldier for countless armies in numerous wars, working as a blacksmith, a stable-hand, a farmer, a rancher, a bartender, a bodyguard, an assassin, a merchant, a chimney sweep, an electrician, a mechanic, a teacher, a babysitter, a boxer, painter, a carpenter, a builder, a bricklayer... The list goes on and on. He remembers fighting on the docks of Nihon as one of the first Caucasian visitors to the Land of the Rising Sun. What he doesn't remember is when he stopped caring.

Personality: Reed seems anti-social to say the least. He rarely speaks and when he does he shows very little interest in the conversation, as if he has places he would rather be and things he would rather be doing, which is exactly how he feels.

Possessions: His day to day clothes as well as a sizable crate full of valuable items, treasures, trinkets, relics and artifacts he has collected throughout history.

Skills: Reed is a Jack-of-all-trades and a master of some. He's a skilled fighter in various styles of hand-to-had combat as well as with swords and other melee weapons. He's proficient with firearms but shows little interest in them overall. He's quite well read, fluent in multiple language, both dead tongues and those used today. He is knowledgeable enough in terms of electronics, mechanics, carpentry and other forms of construction and repair that he rarely needs to rely on others for help.

Fast facts: Reed doesn't fear anything. He's learned long ago that he cannot be killed by anything, so he's not particular concerned by any "dangers". He's had enough experience in combat that while he still feels pain, he's long since learned to push through it and focus past it. His has no particular favourite food and stopped caring about music long ago.

The first thing Ben heard was the incomprehensible ramblings of the security guard. Following that it was Redhead asking him his opinion on said guard. He was halfway tempted to punch the guy until he couldn't talk like that anymore when something caught his interest; The guard was covered in blood.

"Fuck." Ben replied, barely turning to look at the red-haired girl, "I think he's Scottish, but he's covered in blood and not real worried about you and me, so either he got enough power to not care or he one of us. Your call." The tone of Vagrant's voice didn't betray any concern, rather he sounded more impatient than anything. As if he had better things to do and didn't really want to deal with what was happening at that moment.

Ben looked at the bloody Louisville Slugger Ashley was now sporting and muttered out of the corner of his mouth, "Why don't you hit him with that and see what happens?" Just as the robo-guard started to remove itself from the wall.

@Marik@Doc Doctor

FxF Idea (18+. Always Looking. Looking for F!)

@HarukiBlossom Done.

A pre-interest Check: Battletech (it even rhymes ^.^)

@ArenaSnow I'm actually pretty interested but know nothing about Battletech besides this:



How much would I need to know about the video game and things like Gameranger & Mechwarrior 4? Would I need a decent online connection?
