Current Remember, nobody actually enjoys roleplaying if there isn't at least five shameful fetishes uncovered by the 2nd page.

Somebody stole my mood ring. I don't know how to feel about it.

Let's be honest, it's far more satisfying and challenging to actually imagine what a character looks like than paste a hundred gifs of a celebrity and call it good.

So, a team of players who are good at playing as a team in a team-based game are individually bad players. Seems kind of silly when you put it like that, no?

My goal these days is to have an RP that can actually finish, or the very least, last a few years. I see way too many die on page one to take chances

Grimer or Muk perhaps.


Nope. All of them. It explains why Pokemon are captured and have to battle, because otherwise they would go septic and die. See, Pokemon trainers are a group of conservationalists that are preserving the ecosystem.

Pokemon don't poop. They use their waste to power their abilities. Derr.
Gowi's right, brain fart on my part. Blame Shadow of the Hegemon for that. >.>

Yeah, I get where you're coming from, Beta. I guess it's mostly I've seen a lot of character sheets that were based around a game class that really came across as them wanting to be a big, unstoppable badass rather than a compelling character, you're one of the few exceptions to that, I actually really like the character.

To give you an idea, in my Elder Scrolls game, I've had a bunch of people who wanted to be werewolves (one guy even wanted to be a giant, more powerful one with a healing factor, and another wanted to be a fucking dragon werewolf hybrid (!!!?!)), an immortal guy in the vein of Kenny from South Park, a few vampires, one guy who wanted to be a Vampire Lord from Dawnguard because he thought it was badass. I want to point out none of them could make a convincing argument for any of that (for instance, how does the werewolf and vampire sate their hunger and control their urges and transformations when any other player character would by right be afraid of them and even try to kill them when their true nature was discovered sort of thing), they just wanted cool powers and to be super strong, which makes for crap roleplaying.

Once again I actually don't have worries about you given how solid most of your sheet was, I just had a lot of bad experiences and am skeptical about straight gameplay transition characters in general.

We'll let the others decide, I just had to put in my own thoughts on the matter.

I'm pretty sure I did. And I can just reason that he saved his salary and bought custom armor once he left the military, rather than kept his old kit. Once I have am of time, I will make the needed edits.


I'll throw that to the others, but most military salaries aren't superb. Whe it's possible to save a large sum of credits over 9 years, a lot of that stuff (mainly jetpack armour) wouldn't be readily available on a civilian market, much because of how specialized it is to military applications and that it's something I doubt the Hegemony would allow to be sold on a civilian market. The black market is an option, but it's crazy marked up due to hpw hard it is to obtain. Remember, mercs scraping by, not heavily armed spec ops team is the premise here. I'm also pretty wary about when people are fixed on the multiplayer classes as their inspiration, because it usually seems like they are more interested in doing that kind of thing with the character as a secondary focus. I remember we had someone try to apply as a krogan warlord with the giant hammer, this kind of feels the same way.

It doesn't mean the stuff is unobtainable, it's hust that anyone who's desperate enough to join a crew that's literally living pay cheque to pay cheque probably isn't rolling in riches to begin with.

I won't write all of my pet peeves down because I'd be here forever.But the one that immediately came to mind is being obligated to listen to music you don't care for because the group of people you're hanging out with agreed on it.My friends put on Sinatra when we smoke out, it's so off putting. This is why I prefer smoking alone.


As in Frank Sinatra?

What kind of weird ass friends do you hang out with that they demand to listen to old show music when getting stoned?
