There are No New Stories in Hollywoo

I won't be around for a couple of hours myself. But just know this everyone. I am making Hollywoo's infamous reviewer. One of those culty snobby pessimistic reviewers who went to film school, probably originally wanted to be a director of his own films and the doors to Hollywoo are generally closed to anyone with actual talent. I feel like they had a line, IDK why this comes to mind

-Two lines one says, Talentless Hack, other says Actual Talent-

"Uh excuse me sir are you supposed to be here" security guard

"I got an appointment, but my ticket says actual talent," waves ticket

"yeah stand in the actual talent line sir,"

-several hours later in actual talent line, there's a door while talentless hack are just going inside without trouble-

-some lesser office secretary walks to the door-

"Hi are you one of the people with actual talent"

"I am" proudly

"So, you know how this works. This is the actual door we'll be slamming in your face because you're not marketable,"

"Wait, what. You praise my script, give me a ticket, say I have talent and you're going-"

-slam-

^loool I am so sorry

Ever since that incident he tears talentless hacks apart and rips movies only meant to make money into shreds. Makes directors cry and go into fetal position for months. And so and so forth.

You deceitful backstabbing wretch. Forming alliances before the RP begins are we?

On another note, can I be the captain?

@Bishop

Make me the best damn captain. I always pictured him as not having a relict and putting him more a NPC. And a coward. But sure I can give you the captain.

And I known Neo for a year now. So alliances were formed long ago

@Scarescrow

1 - I believe the date is more based on our own world we're creating

2 - I may be the one creating the captain so let me get back to you

3 - the Aria sea? I am not sure I understand the question either

Hey. Sorry for disappearing. School and work in concert fucked me over good. I can keep going when all is ready.

@dereken

We just gotta let October pass.

Damn it you got the song stuck in my head. :)

Well, give me a better reason then. Should I give him the goal to save everyone, to donate to poor people? No, because it is stupid. He is a pirate, no matter what. He kills and steals from the weak. That is what pirates are. NOT saving, taking. Agree that there are good pirates, but there is a reason for this to be tag as "18+" right? Plus, I don't see my character as a good person. The world is corrupted enough it wouldn't mind having another. And besides, he is a normal people, who will never know when he is going to die. So, tell me? What reason should I give for him? What honorable reason should I just for his action of killing and plundering? Just tell me. I'm open for it.

On a second note, I know you are a co-GM and you have power near the GM, but that is not the right thing to say others character as redundant. It is my work, my character creation. You could say he has errors, but it is not for you to tell it is shallow. I knew you could create a better character, and that is great. You are better than me, so I could learn something from your writing. But on my side, he is as good as I could create. So yeah, again, I'm open to constructive comment, but not decry. If you could @AngelofOctober

And you ask

<Snipped quote by AngelofOctober>

Just flat out because he wants to kill. Of course, you could say than "why don't he lived on an isolated island or somewhere outside the reach of human civilization?" The answer is easy for me if you can't think of it yet because he wants to kill, simple as that. He could not control his urge to kill. And how many people would come to a place there are no town or cities had established? The answer is almost none. And I would think my character would die by the fifth month due to hydration and starvation even before meeting the crew.

So yeah, that is my reason. Just waiting for you to have any glorious goal suggestion for him for me to add on.

Well not every character has to be a pirate because their a murdering pile of shit either. My first character I am creating name is Kasper, he is a famed smuggler who helps the pirate swindle goods from one place to another. While his goals may seem basic, he's with the pirates because it's a business move. Kasper pays the pirates in information, while the pirates pay the pirates in valuable, who then swindle his good elsewhere and he slips off to the next country and the next ship to swing the next set of goods. Sure he's a criminal, but it's not because he just wants to murder people;

1) He doesn't want to get caught, a good idea to move with folks who know how to avoid authorities

2) Pirates find valuables Kasper might be able to trade for another lesser valuable good, but the pirates don't need to know that

3) Kasper can gain the pirates influence with his business

Kasper reason to being with the pirates is simple, it's easier to smuggle goods you're not supposed to on a ship of very deadly armed men. Then it is trying to sneak it onto an imperial ship and smuggle yourself without getting caught.

Whenever creating a character it's about asking yourself questions;

Why does he do this?

What makes them this way?

How did they get this way?

Do they enjoy it?

When the answer I get is "because he has urges to kill and wants to kill" I'm like O.o, but he's a doctor foremost. What if he had a daughter who died of genetic disease and he couldn't save her from the disease and so to run from his troubles he took on a job as a pirate to flee heartbreak? Or what if he owes the pirate captain something because he had the captain smuggle him rare medicines they couldn't get elsewhere and when the authorities found out he fled pledging his service to the captain?

I didn't mean to decry. But seriously play around with ideas. Experiment. The sky is the limit. Doctor Jekyl who wants to kill somebody is not doing anyone any favors.

glad you're all interested! i'll probably be starting the thread tomorrow

@PrincePierce@WanderBug@AngelofOctober@Jinxlynx

@knifeman

Right on. I'll probably make the Edgy Cynical Reviewer if you'd be okay with that. The guy so apathetic he doesn't seem to enjoy life and drinks beer called "Sadness". roflcopter

Still here and ready to kick things back up after October. I am so sorry my job has taken me away this far.

Aria's Seas

Because of freedom, and gold of course. Freedom to kill and experiment, and to be rich.

@Scarescrow

Seriously? That is the most shallow motivation I have ever heard. Ruby gives you the opportunity to add your own character's lore into the world. And you manage a doctor who experiments on people and wants freedom to kill people. Meanwhile, discussing with her on discord in about a day I worked on some God Lores, some extra demon lores, some secret plot stuff. And you manage that? When a GM is giving you an opportunity to write your own story and your own sheet.
