Not my own words, but: "Enjoy memes and have a good time online, but develop a solid sense of self-worth that is rooted in a reality that doesn't disappear when the battery charge is empty."

But Europe has so many climates!
What's the climate like on the continent? Does the equator run through the middle of the map, or is this only a fraction of the globe?

Also, here's my tentative claim. Not a big fan of that awkward sliver it leaves, though.

Hmmm. Where to set up shop? I'm not totally sure of what I'm doing yet.
@Goliah I'm generally adverse to anything under the "industrial" label, as it reminds me of corny goth aesthetic and vampire club-type scenes. Industrial metal is no exception; I would rather just separate the genres and be done with it. I wasn't a fan of this track. Even though 4:30 is on the shorter end of the spectrum of what I listen to, I found it tedious, since he first three minutes just loop the same riff, which is pretty minimal and boring to begin with (that just being my opinion, of course).
I've no problem with minimalism and repetition when there's substance behind it, but I just can't imagine a ton of effort going into this track, and there's not a whole lot going on within. So yeah - hard pass on this one.

It'll probably take an appreciation for rawness and low fidelity to milk any enjoyment out of this, especially if you aren't a regular listener of underground black metal. But why not give it a shot:

@GoliahDon't have much to say about this; I've heard of Death Grips for a while and I've had a listen to a handful of their other songs. As someone who listens to metal, their work is probably the easiest rap/hip hop for metalheads to digest. Some of Death Grips's songs lean more towards harsh, noisy territory. This one seemed to be a little more catchy, spunky - accessible. I'm not a regular listener, so some of the appreciation might be lost on me, but it was fun.
No number ratings because I detest quantification.

Onto more metal - I had the pleasure of seeing these Finns Saturday night in Brooklyn. Put on a hell of a show!

This sound very neat! I think there's a lot of potential to be had here.

A question:
When our characters are reborn as Revenants, do they differ in any particular way besides gaining their extraordinary powers? i.e. do they still appear, sound, act like they did before death, or has the process completely transformed them?
Then it would have been better have just said "no" at the outset rather than leading me on, asking me to elaborate on the (unfinished) character sheet (that was not going to be accepted anyway). I was more than willing to work on the background to fit the plausibility of the setting, but was not given a chance to do so, or even finish the sheet before judgment.

Moving on, good luck with the roleplay.
I literally just responded to today's PM about my character and I see he's turned away without waiting on my explanation.
@Forgiveness

<Snipped quote>

Yeah, maybe because he's, like, almost identical to Cedric? The two of them are almost interchangeable, especially in Skills and Abilities. And Equipment.


And this is a terrible thing why? It's a mercenary company full of interchangeable peons; there's bound to be overlap. I intend to play a sort of knight - it's not like someone else playing another knight with *gasp* the same equipment and skills is going to be worth getting up in arms about.

It's not a D&D party with an unspoken rule that everyone ought to fill a different niche.

The important thing is that the characters are different people, with personalities, goals and traits that define them beyond equipment or learned skills.
