The Destined (Soulmate RP)

I don't really have any preferences for who Faolán ends up Destined with, or any pre-ships. Besides, it's more fun to end up with a tragic romance story choice between Ultimate Power and Twu Wuv.

Maybe one of the characters who doesn't mind being poor with a starving artist guard? =]

It's a small detail, but an important one for some people like Duncan (Element wise he'd work best when paired with a Light elemental for example. For reasons that haven't been thoroughly elaborated on).

I take that bit back about pre-ships. Duncan/Faolán confirmed?

I'm wondering if maybe this is a sign that after 132 posts, we should move past the gates?

The Destined (Soulmate RP)

People are discussing intro posts and I haven't even begun to think about it yet... Should probably get on that.

@Thorn

Just read through Rhys –– maybe they are somewhat familiar with each other, both being from the Royal City? It's okay if not, thought it might be cool. (I want a rooftop chase scene, damn it.) =]

I make music playlists for all of my characters as I'm making them. I won't link all of them, because there's about nineteen, but here's the top three options for Faolán's theme. My music tastes tend towards indie trash, to be honest.

Svavar Knútur - Emotional Anorexic
MisterWives - Coffins
One Two - Bitter and Sick

Faolán's first post will likely be him interacting with his family, and then end up heading out. I suppose there's a chance of running into anyone who's actually in the Royal City –– although, I'll probably read the first IC post before writing anything, just to make sure.

Hey, Overwatch discussion I missed.

I haven't played in a while, but in high Master/Grandmaster games, I interpret the meta a bit differently. You'll only get Pharahs to begin with, and usually someone will switch out to either Widowmaker (who's stupidly powerful right now, now that the shield meta's over) or S:76 (because practically everyone in those games has aim good enough to take out a Pharah). McCree is kind of a substandard pick as S:76 or Hanzo does his job better. If the Pharah-Mercy combination gives the hitscan trouble, just run a Zen.

Reaper is decently strong right now after his buff because it's not his job to take out the Pharah, and because Winston is being used as a solo tank in dive quite often (as the 2-2-2 meta is only a basic starting point for composition) he's a decent enough counter to him now that Roadhog's a bit duff.

Tracers might have difficulties pegging the healers because DVA is so strong right now, but on the plus side, I suspect Mei will become more and more useful now that DVA's up (because she can't deflect her ice beam). She's still a fringe pick because you get flamed if you even think about it. Good news though that people have stopped flaming Sombra picks because hack messes up Winston something awful.

Reinhardt is fucked, though.

No, but seriously we should clear this up: them being fraternal is important 'cause it means that they need both boys and girls in the Royal City.

@deyinger

Out of curiosity, does this mean that soulmates are always opposite gendered in the lore?

@Ever Jamie Ducane -- more like Jamie Fraser from Outlander.

@deyinger

If it's not too late, I'd like to add the town of Claredarrow which would be about three days away from the Royal City and on the edge of a large forest. It could be on a trade route.

(I might, once I'm back from the opticians, write some fluff about it.)

@Snagglepuss89

With the two oldest characters in the roleplay thus far, should their team name be 'Actual Adults' or 'Oncoming Osteoporosis'?
