[quote]It sounds like the reason you object to this change [b]is because of principal[/b], 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?[/quote] Yeah, I know it might sound weird (or not, we're all collaborative writers here) but I take role-playing too seriously. I put research and stock into a lot of my characterizations, and try to follow themes as well as tone properly whilst becoming a greater writer than I was beforehand. But you are completely right that this is more [b]principle[/b] than anything else, it is likely we won't notice or it won't come up again in this RP and it won't really matter in the long run or even effect Carrie Kelley whom probably would have a remark at best on it. Now for ideas on your character so we don't have me continuing to split hairs? What I know is you want to play a younger Kate Kane, but with her at 21 in 2014/2015 she would've been 18 in the Armed Forces (training) around 2011 or so when the repeal was in full effect. My biggest alternative of suggestion is it came out when she was in Academy at West Point (like in one of her origins in the comics) and got shipped back to Gotham when she stood by her sexuality and her code of honor. It keeps what you want to do with your character, but means she got thrown out of the military sooner which means she had a few years to... "not find herself". I don't want to be criticizing asshole, either, and I know I might be doing that.
