Creatures of the night with a twist!

Anyone out there?

We Protect. We love. We care. We are the good guys. Right?

Right now I'm debating to have it based in a future version of a currently existing country or have a whole new system altogether.

@HeartStrings

One possible idea: if there are still multiple countries (instead of a one-nation Earth, like a lot of sci-fi) then perhaps a few countries don't have CARE. Even the knowledge that CARE is not universal could be chaotic. Imagine if the Exceptionals found out- they might try to escape to the non-CARE nations, like 1800's U.S. slaves fleeing to the north.
(They'd have to find out that they're captive in the first place, granted)

Creatures of the night with a twist!

I'm thinking I want about 5-6 people interested before I get to work on the OOC and the NPCS. Does anyone have any thoughts of what they want these monsters to be? I kind of thought maybe something along the lines of wendigos type creatures? Or perhaps vampires? Zombies? Any thoughts?

@MissCapnCrunch

I usually don't go for vampires, but they fit this environment really well. Have you ever seen the movie 30 Days of Night? It's about vampires invading a small Alaskan town during the 30-day darkness, where nobody can call for help and they can hunt 24/7. With no sunlight to worry about, and in such an enclosed space, vampires could be pretty scary.

Accidentally read it as "the Beige Towers" and now I'm going to be calling them that for the entire R.P.

Interested, either way.

We Protect. We love. We care. We are the good guys. Right?

The best villains are the ones who don't know they're the villains.

I'm interested

I kinda have a post ready. Just filler stuff.
:T

Nawh, I can add more than that. 1 sec

@Hawlin

So long as someone posts. I have nothing to write!

Ah, so many LGBT characters! I feel so at home Since I'm really terrible with sciences... How about the ship's counselor/shrink And it is sciency, depending on who you ask

@ihinka

@ihinka I like the idea of a counselor who checks up on the crew's sanity and humanity - wether or not they like it!! They could also maybe have the power to call someone in for a session, if they feel its "needed for the sanity or safety of the person" and no one can say no cause otherwise they get "iced", they wont be allowed to work anymore. I can see super awkward session ahead of the crew!

Oh god, she would have feeled day with Rolands and Joy

@Jeyma
Looks like Satan is a size 10...

@Hawlin

Size 12 in boots, actually.

Curse my freakishly large, clumsy feet. I accidently dropped it, stumbled and practically tap danced on it

<Snipped quote by Jeyma>

That sounds serious. Should I call someone to un-posess your PC or something?

@KahleenCuthald

It's too late. Satan has taken it.


Satan really likes fucking with rainbow colored backgrounds, apparently.

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry

And she seems to have tons of good traits and seemingly no negative ones. If your character has so many skills / positive traits, you need to add negative ones to even it out.

@KahleenCuthald

My bad, she wasn't meant to seem Mary Sue. I actually really hate perfect characrers, and I never meant for Aideen to look like that.

She has several big flaws. I honestly meant for them to be obvious, but I understand if I need to explain.

---

For one, she's stubborn and obsessive. I mentioned that her father said she was "stubborn as a tree," and she actually managed to take it as a compliment. This is also shown through her wand's "rigid" flexibility. That's a trait that's going to bite her in the ass, like, all the time.

She's also vengeful. I mentioned that she is "moody as fire" and that she has a "streak of hate."

There's even a huge weakness with her wand: a Hawthorn wand, as said in the Pottermore quote, "can, when badly handled, backfire." PLUS Dragoncore wands are prone to "accident." Her wand is both likely to backfire and likely to fail. It's a deathtrap.

With such a shitty wand, her anger and her stubborness are a poor combination. I can imagine her messing up spells all the time, arguing with authority figures, taking fights too far, and holding grudges across years.

If you really think I need to put more emphasis on those, of course I will, but I stand by what I said: I do believe her flaws are already pretty self-apparent.

---

As for having too many skills, the only skill I gave her was that she knows a lot about wandcrafting. And... that's it.

I said she's interested in healing people and caring for magical beasts, but nowhere did I say that means she's GOOD at it.
Those aren't skills, just interest. She won't necessarily have any talent for them.

She only has a skill for memorizing shit about wands.

---

I'll update the history or "worth to mention" section with a short explanation on her family's move.

---

I don't want this to be a big argument, so I can make her problems a little more clear if you want, but please do consider what I said about her emotional problems and her deathtrap wand. She was never intended to be flawless ;)
