Crossrealm: The Stage Of History

Finally finished the Amazon, now I need to do the martial artist.

Crossrealm: The Stage Of History

@Card Captor Very impressive, but for the sake of balance, can you make him just a little bit smaller? 6'7 325 is literally barbarian size, and its just a little too much of a stretch of the imagination for the time period. Men were never that big 500 years ago.

Maybe make him 6'3 and 200 and something pounds?

@Eisenhorn Very interesting character, but again, the size, 5'6 is a reasonable hieght for a japanese man in that time period but 115 is just a little bit too light, he woould be quite skinny at that weight. And ronin and samurai are usually quite well muscled due to carrying around that armor and heavy weapons. Adjust his weight so its a little higher maybe make him about 140-150.

Other than that, you guys are approved, and good to go.

Crossrealm: The Stage Of History

@Dynamo Frokane
The loadout was primarily for visual references, but I would like to keep his Armour if Possible, though I understand if he couldn't.

@hagroden

Armor will be fine as its his clothing as he comes through the realm.

Crossrealm: The Stage Of History

@hagroden Impressive! But the 'other weapon' loadout isnt needed, they will be only carrying their favourite weapon at the beginning of the RP, there will be oppurtunites to obtain the rest of the weapons in the RP.

We have our Viking, you can put him in the characters tab.

Rant about 'teaching men not to rape'.

@Dynamo Frokane If you want to play devils' advocate you should take a look at rape laws across the world. There's a lot of countries where a man legally simply cannot be raped.

@Buddha

Thats nice, not sure what that has to do with my argument about consent....

Second off, calling me/others MRA's right off the bat is kind of stupid too. Not that I'm not used to that from you by now.

@Buddha

Oh so you aren't an MRA? You don't advocate for men's rights? Because I do. I must've been mistaken about you.

It's important to realize too that the world doesn't revolve around America. Where I live, we have clearly established boundaries. Children in school (primary school, age 10-12) are taught about sex, drugs, rape etc. Just because the USA sucks at everything doesn't mean the rest of the world has to.

@Buddha

1. I'm not american, I'm not sure what USA has to do with my post.

2. I learned about sex education in school when I was about 10 too, so this isn't an argument, moving on....

And actually, teaching college kids not to snatch a woman is exactly what's happening.

Here we are

@Buddha

So I see a google search with a few articles talking about consent classes. I think we both agree that consent is important. I can say that if any school is saying "Dont snatch a woman from the bushes" then they are stupid. If you could provide me a source of a direct quote where any school, american or otherwise has said that, then I will call them stupid too. If not there isn't really an arguement.

Rant about 'teaching men not to rape'.

Okay you MRAs, time for a lil devil's advocate......

I agree that the idea that we as men have to be told not to rape is patronising and insulting. But I can understand the sentiment in context.

There are some men, (not me, and probably not you guys) who have been told by there fathers, brothers or friends things like. If she's absolutely blind drunk, its fine for you to fuck her as long as you are drunk too. Or If shes your girlfriend its okay to initiate sex while she's asleep. Or the worst one is, when women say no, what they really mean is yes, they are just playing games. Now even though I am intelligent enough to determine how dodgy all this is, I've definately heard other men say this to me and each other.

Now I'm going to assume that we wouldn't ever carry out behaviour like this, but there are impressionable, maybe younger men who might listen to this things and act it out, thinking it was acceptable. Teaching men not to rape, doesn't mean telling a bunch of college bros not to jump out of the bushes and snatch a girl out of the park. It clarifying to the new generation exactly where consent begins and ends and that some of these 'old bros tales' simply cannot apply anymore.

So yeah, you can all transform into @Weird Tales now and call me an ESS JAY DUBYU feminist mangina Cuck now. But If I had a son, I'd probably be teaching him the above too.

Crossrealm: The Stage Of History

Just going to throw this out; I called the pirate back in the IC

@Card Captor

of course, I just wanted to give everyone a chance to reconsider now that the character details are up.

Crossrealm: The Stage Of History

@Eisenhorn Your Ronin is ready.

Crossrealm: The Stage Of History

@hagroden Viking is all done

I'll work on the Samurai and the Fighter

Crossrealm: The Stage Of History

I would love to reserve the Ninja spot, if you don't mind. Not sure if I'll do male or female

@SheriffLlama

I think the ninja spot was reserved in the interest check, but I'll see if that person is still interested.

@Dynamo Frokane
Any idea of when you'll post the Viking's Information?

@hagroden

I'll do it right now, sorry just been busy and its late

I had dibs on the Viking in the IC, but if Hagroden wants the role, I am also quite partial to Eastern martial artists. Perhaps not necessarily a Chinese Monk, just a martial artist?

@Vaerune

Many apologies, I just saw your dibs, If I do make a martial artist, it will definately be a chinese fighter but not nessecarily a bald monk with the beads, it will be more like a dynasty jade empire style fighter.
