Match-Indifferent

Personality
Laid back || Air-headed || Sporty || Funny || Hopeless romantic
Elise has a very easy going attitude, for better or for worse. She's the type of person that starts writing a paper the night before it's due. She's outgoing and easy to talk to, so she doesn't understand why some girls are so shy around guys. Especially since she hangs out with her guy-friends a lot. But when a cute girl talks to her she loses her cool and becomes a total dork.

History:
Elise's romantic history is simple, just a string of unrequited loves. First it was her best friend, next the girl who lived across the street, then that one girl that smiled at her at the library that one time. But since all of her past crushes seem to only be interested in boys, she tries not to get her hopes up. Incidentally a lot of her girl friends like to talk to her about their boyfriend problems.

Extras
Girls tend to think she's joking around when she flirts with them.
Often gets in trouble for wearing "boys" clothes.

When we make a character should we post it straight to the character tab?

Sounds good, its isn't too different from what I originally had anyways. Edited my CS. I hope everyone is happy now. Please forward any further complaints to the following lonely mailbox:

<Snipped quote by Konica>

From my corner, and this is me being respectful about it; you are doing it for the sake of it, the sake of your storytelling. It is completely subjective if it's a necessary or quality change. I think it's superfluous. My reasoning behind why I don't really like it is mostly because it seems like a change that isn't a particular good one, I like comic books (even the ones I RP in) to reflect off the world and their politics which means laws that happen in my reality still happen in my fiction to have a degree of social awareness and commentary alongside a good story about fight against the thralls of criminal corruption. I don't mean to stray us into an argument because I respect your reason to do so even if I don't agree with it.

@Gowi

Let me rephrase: I'm not making changes for no reason. Its not like I just woke up one day and thought "what laws can I put back into this universe?". The reason I want to make this change is because of the following:

Batwoman is a soldier, and a large part of her motivation is the inability to serve in the military. Using don't ask don't tell kills two birds with one stone, since it also addresses her sexuality. Essentially, she can't do what she wants because of who she is. This is one of the huge challenges she faces and must overcome as a character.

If I used PTSD as the reason she was discharged (as you suggested), it wouldn't be the same. Her discharge would be justified, and she won't face the same discriminatory hurdle.

It sounds like the reason you object to this change is because of principal, rather than a specific issue that would detriment this RP or anyone's character. So I fail to see how, in a practical sense, this change would effect you or your character. Think of it this way: Are you really going to notice this change at all once we get started?

I don't want to be stubborn or a jerk, so if it really bothers you that much I'd gladly listen to any solutions or alternatives.
