I do agree with Yandere's sentiment that words not wording workingly do be a problem this time of year.

Scratch that, place your bets on polymarket.

Looks like I'll be working on memorial day weekend. And no, this does not mean place any bets on polymarket.

due to a typo on my part I was nearly convinced I owed the IRS nearly $3000 in excess taxes this year.

Bio

-There will be delays in replies. Largely due to working overtime, voluntary obligations; other RPs and online-things may compete for my attention.

'Bout me:
Started RPing (badly) back in '05, mostly doing nation-RPs with an emphasis on technology and strategy, later edging out to character-espionage and military-tactics before doing "less serious" character roleplays that were outside of the 2005-2008 continuity.

That's when I went to Dead-Frontier, and found the RP community there, joined a clan, did some pretty good roleplays and pretty much loosened-up my online-personality. When the clan-leader decided to move her RPs here, most of the clan followed.

Took a course in technical-writing back in '08, so now I may sometimes use the semicolon correctly.

In 2010 I dusted off the old nation-RP continuity I had, doing a few hetelia-esque RP-shenanigans there..

RP-Habbits: I tend to geek-out on little technical-details, and sometimes infer how those details would impact the background of the roleplay. Great for world-building, not so great when you had a perfectly good plotline and I just MacGyver it off the rails (though I usually er to the side of amusement, sometimes it creates very grim side-stories).

I had a pretty good roll going to describe how Skokes modified the nutrient-cycle of the algea tanks to incorporate alchohol-production, and how this increased yield enough to allow a small but less-efficient victory-garden to take up space.

Also, how she happened to be working on biological weapons in an age where biological warfare is about as pesky as being tazered by a five year old girl.

Followed ofc by her immense distrust of AIs that talk.

And then I ctrl-W'd the window when trying to re-format the text.
Kessa said Foster: ROTF. Dude. I'm a bona-fide frat boy. I usually rp female engineers with no interest in romance. This is a great rp.


You've met Cirno, have you not?

Also, apparently I don't have cavities at all.

But we can fix sobriety with good 'ol 40-proof moonshine.

Be female so Jason can be further misinterpreted as misogynistic when he tells her to go back to the kitchen! ;D

That works, in addition to the fact that the 'Skokie' character is 'partially recycled' from another RP, and a few episodes of the Outer Limits.
-But for the most part, Skokie has been a female character (that or a trap, have fun with that thought).

Sep is the military-guru? And I'm the herbalist? WTF?!

Anyways, going to get out of work early for some tooth fillings tomorrow, so I'm going to try posting when I'm high as a kite.
-You've seen my sleep-deprived posts on IRC, my drugged posts are something special.
Anyways, still polling for gender to pick.

Would've defaulted to female because until Jorj made a CS, there was only one.
-But now...

Foster... The only one even remotely aware of scalegrowth is Morven, and nanotech medical care has evolved so far that its essentially considered to be perfect. The only ones who would even care about medical care of a nature not based on nanites would be extremely eccentric historians. Its similar in many ways to how many practice the arts of making flint tools in our society.

Flint tools are awesome, although I've read some good things about obsidian when it doesn't shatter on impact.

Yeah, it's going to take a few chapters for my character to find out about Morven. But more correctly, my character still strongly annoyingly suggests quarantine-procedures after landing-ops. Kinda like how 'Bones' is against teleporters spreading him all over the galaxy.

And the fear of tech isn't going to be from lack of understanding it, but more from a decent to scary grasp of what can go wrong.
-Granted, very, very small chance of something bad happening, ever... but, it may still happen.


So, pretty much to the same level of paranoia as those who said the LHC was going to end the universe.

Cooking, on the other hand, that can actually make sense to have someone on board with skill at. No matter how you can make a gray gooey paste (or stuff like that) provide the nutrients needed, we can't readily see a day when humans wouldn't enjoy "real" food.

Yeah... the pool to select decent primitive-style cooks was limited to super-eccentric historians and super-eccentric eco-terrorists.

You get both.
I really, seriously, have yet to work on this RP.

Name: Skokie 'Skokes' Tsubasa Gender: (putting it up for popular demand) | Role: Culinary (combat) botanist

Appearance and personality will be adjusted to fit information about this character as it is developed.
I was going to aim for a personality that completely mirrored Astrid's (distrust of technology and technophiles) and being a little too curious of physical ailments (in short, if you're growing scales, it doesn't matter what the bio-scanner says). Not very nitpicky about appearances, though.

Oh, and Skokes would be the streaker of the ship's crew, despite placing themselves at risk of explosive decompression (which on a ship this size is generally a lie).

Descent, '92.

Class 1 driller sound like a pedobear taking a buzzsaw against a chalkboard just before surprise buttrape.

Also, its gun sounds like someone on a meth-coffee binge calling you an idiot in true desu/dakka spam format.
(oh, and some had cloaking devices, and they liked hiding)

Original NES and NES cartridges: = unbreakibru!

Foster, read the dang op. XP. We're it man. And we're not expected to start a colony!

Challenge accepted.

So, recycle an old character, or start fresh?
-Also, boy or girl?
(I know y'alls got your favorite Foster's-character in mind)

Fack it, you're getting Skokie for your consulting-needs.

Edit:
I just realized this is in the advanced section.
Dang sausage-fest...

Going to have to be a bit creative if this crew plans on a 'next generation' spinoff.
