UnendingEmpire

Coming out as a MtF trans woman.

I'd also like to offer whatever I can to the table advice-wise.

What you've done here is come out about your identity to total strangers. We don't even know who you are; until finding your thread, I would have no clue that you even exist. Your family, by contrast, has been there your entire life; there shouldn't be anyone out there with a closer relationship than family. So I can say with some degree of confidence, they'd accept things. Your sisters and aunt are already accepting of who you are, though despite your concerns about your father's stance, I'd say the one who would have the hardest time coming around to this is your mother. Christians are so xenophobic sometimes, for my inability to think of a better term =.=

If you'd like to take on her fears or concerns, I think the best thing you can tell a born-again Christian is that this was how God - who apparently knows and controls everything - willed you to be, and that even if she has some issues with your identity, everyone gets those with people. It'd just be the simplest way to explain a complex thing like gender identity issues. "This is how God made you" and "What would Jesus do?", in addition to the fact that you're her child, should help her understand the right thing to do. If she does disown you...well, that's not very Christian-like, tolerant, or motherly at all; a stark contrast to what you've said about her.

Sadly, I can't offer much on how to put this to your father. The best I can offer is to bring things in from a psychological point of view. Transphobic doctors are exactly that: transphobic. However, anything ending in "-phobic" typically means it's an irrational fear or dislike of something, "irrational" being the keyword here. There's nothing wrong with a boy thinking they should be a girl, or vice versa. On the patient's side of things, the human mind is - despite how much research we've put into it - a complete and total mystery. Whoever said space is the final frontier obviously never saw the inner workings of his brain.

And please don't think I'm telling you to take advantage of your mother's religion to persuade her; not at all. Christianity is supposed to be a religion that accepts all walks of life, though it seems somewhere down the line, a fair few of them forgot just what they wanted in the first place. Likewise, I'm not saying to take advantage of linguistic and psychological facts to persuade your father; just to open his eyes to that there's no right or wrong in this issue except the ones we ourselves put out there. That's all I've got for you though. I wish I could offer more advice, but these kinds of situations aren't quite in my list of things I've got ready advice for ^_^;

VitaVitaAR said a villainous immortal samurai who wants to be given honorable death

I volunteer to write this one up to take it off your back.

Got it, no limb-breaking. I'll settle for limb-eating Burnout shall be relatively unharmed.

On another note, POST 100!

My name is Keith.

Jokes aside, welcome aboard. RPing isn't something we can teach you like math or literature physics, but rather something you've (mostly) gotta learn for yourself. I wouldn't mind teaching you the ropes (completely conflicting with what I just said).

I'm just now realizing I never posted for Phalanx like I thought I did after that :|

I'll have something up tomorrow. Expect stuff from Phalanx and finally an intro for Blackhawk. Maybe some Necrohead action if ya don't mind me breaking one or two of Burnout's limbs.

Please forgive me if I sound in any way rude, but...I don't suppose we know what's going on with Blast Girl and King Arthur by any chance, do we? :'(

Seconded. If anything, you should be taking notes on what the school did to Phoenix for later use.

A Great Bloody Mess

"Speaking of threat, the only real danger that this sanctuary has is you and I, Priscilla-dono. A convergence of an Ancient and an elder vampire is enough reason for them to launch an all-out assault. Should the humans be able to detect our presence, specifically, YOUR presence... Even those children at the shack will suffer. As of the moment, we are the greatest threat to the sanctuary."

"And yet, we are their only chance to survive. The irony in that we, the greatest shield for this sanctuary, are also the dagger that rests on its throat, is indeed thick." However, Priscilla stood ready to fight. It was rather expected of an Ancient, especially since when summoned, it was typically a matter of hunters getting out of hand. The immense power of an Ancient was no laughing matter, though in this case, the job would also be political as well. Destroy the hunters, then hypnotize world leaders into bringing the populace back into the belief that vampires do not exist. The latter would be easy.

After a brief moment of silence to plan things out, Priscilla spoke her decision just as clearly as she spoke anything. "We should return. If this assault of theirs begins while we're away, they could be done before we're ever aware. For the time being, this sanctuary should resume activity as normal. If...rather, when these Black Swords arrive, we shall turn every fallen hunter into a risen guardian. Their attacks shall grow in scale, and we will have more and more soldiers to build an army with. For the time being, this is all we can do."

"I can help as soon as I get blood. Thank you."

"They're this way," Hisako said, leading the way around a corner to a small door. Opening it up, she pointed down a set of stairs and continued "We're storing the food in this cellar. Go drink your fill; I'll wait up here." It was dark down there. So dark that, were Hisako and Greyson not vampires, they'd probably be unable to see past the third step down. But, as creatures of the night, the ability to see in the dark was second nature; it was the reason Hisako didn't bother with light bulbs in this place.

Present, being as slow a GM as ever.

Your Mad Wonderland (Remake)

it's actually more of a morality/ethics deal for me; I'd be going by this rule even if you didn't have it. I follow three posting rules at all times

1: Wait three posts IC before you post again (only applicable in RPs with four or more people, obviously)
2: Necroposting is only to be done on threads you own while they're still on the first page. Even in this scenario, apologize to the mods.
3: Never, NEVER double-post. My strictest rule is also the one I break the most T^T
