B!tchfest: a healthy release for our non-roleplay annoyances.

What I don't really get is MLP

MLP surprised everybody, in all fairness. They got their own fan conventions in less than a year and had a reception that even for a Lauren Faust show was pretty ridiculous. I genuinely started watching the show because Lauren Faust was advertised as the showrunner and enjoyed it well enough, but I never could have anticipated what that show became. Has several comics, several seasons, and a fan-based community that is as welcoming as it is unnerving. Grouped up with a few of the local fans at Youmacon a few years ago and they were a lovely group of awkward nerds. Perversion of fandom will happen with anything, so you need to just distance yourself from that aspect.

You're talking breadth, I'm talking depth.

I'm talking about both.

I'm also talking about the source material.

So am I. Everything I mentioned was official material.

You could write your own novel using those characters

I'm not talking about fanfiction.

That material in this case would be, like, the video games and saturday morning cartoon.

It would also include two comic book franchises, several novellas, and several cartoons (not just one).

"how come all these fandoms latch on to shallow source material".

So in short, your knowledge on the subject is superficial and shallow.

Works for me, seems high enough to matter but not low enough to be ignored.

@Gowi, so does Declan actually owe Errol money? lol! It's fine if he does, I can easily work with that.

@The Nebulous

I imagine that it’d be a humorous bit to stir stuff up with— plus with Declan disappearing for several years, I wager there was some debts owed that went unresolved b/c everyone though he was dead or imprisoned.

But yeah, if you want to run with it.

But Sonic? Those things have nothing to them.

Hahaha— I’m sorry, but you couldn’t be any more wrong on this one.

If your only comprehensive understanding of Sonic the Hedgehog is from the games, then you don’t really any perspective that’s worth much. Not only is Sonic the Hedgehog what got me into role-playing in the first place, but even removing whatever bias I have this statement is not true in the slightest. With over five animated series, a two-episode OVA, two successful comic book franchises, and yes the games that have consistently developed over the course of over twenty years there is a lot to Sonic the Hedgehog as a form and most certainly enough to warrant a fandom by even your standards. Even when I got into RPing at Sonic HQ and Team Artail in 2001 there was enough. The various universes and interpretations of Sonic the Hedgehog have enough lore to validate its fandom. I’ve read both comics since 1995, and believe me when I tell you that you have no idea how massive it actually is.

Had to rewrite my first draft but what I just posted is significantly less shit.

Errol Vahn

---

// PRESENT DAY, OMEGA //

It had been a very long time since Errol Vahn had run into any of his former “comrades”. Following the group's final mission the universe seemed to give them every sign that it had been the end of The Dashers— a sentiment that carried over in a multitude of ways including the awkwardness that essentially separated each individual member from each other as they went off to do their own things independently. Errol was never really sure why they decided to become solo players in the galaxy at large, but it was what they did. The asteroid husk that was Omega remained their central hub, but for some reason until today Errol couldn’t recall when the last time he saw let alone interacted with one of his former teammates. But here he was and Abrax was right in front of him now shoving a bottle of Ryncol in his face as he shouted with an energetic bravado that made Errol smile through the dulling pain that he felt in his bones. It also didn’t hurt to have another bottle than he expected in indulging for the night. It felt like old times, but given the impatient expression on Rosa Martinez, another one of Errol’s partners from his “dashing days”, he got the feeling that this was a little too out of place and convenient to be a social call.

But what was the occasion? Did they have a job that required a few extra hands?

Errol dismissed the thought before Rosa made it clear that they had a place to be around the time Abrax finished downing the bottle. Errol looked to the bartender with a dazed smirk as he finished his transaction and gave him a temporary goodbye. The fact that Rosa insisted they had to go at that moment did make his anxiety flare up as he jumped up to his feet. As they began to move through Afterlife the colonial human in him sprung to life as he began making a series of comments towards their female partner. The shots probably didn’t faze her in the slightest.

“You running the show now?”,

“Didn’t know Abrax preferred to be on bottom!”

“Can’t it wait?”

“This is so sudden, I feel like some foreplay is needed before we go any further!”

These and other comments were pretty generic as far as Errol’s style of commenting went and it made him wonder if it took the two in front of him back to their days as dashers.

As they walked through Omega and finally made it to their destination, Errol’s disposition immediately changed. The cocky and presumptuous expression dropped into one of gloom and confusion. A change of feeling that was hardly unnatural or even unwarranted. Errol frowned as his brows narrowed as he realized that this wasn’t Rosa’s operation… it was a dead man’s or at least… he was supposed to be dead.

Declan Calaway, the former leader of The Dashers and the reason they disbanded, stood in front of Errol with a gregarious cheerfulness. A man that was supposed to be dead. Declan’s comments shot at Errol about his apparent gloominess didn’t faze him or perhaps Errol didn’t really hear them. All Errol could think about was the fate of The Dashers and the burning question of what the hell was going on? It was obvious that this was about reforming and getting the gang back together but it didn’t stop a burning dread and backseated rage to overflow in Errol’s veins. For a few moments Errol ignored everything else that was going on as he took a step forward— debris blasting above. But Errol didn’t care, something else was on his mind. Irrationality filled his movement.

“Declan, you son of a bitch—”

Errol curled his fist and sent it forward, attempting to hit his former friend and leader.

“—where’s my goddamn money?!”

I'm writing in word right now, just to keep you guys informed. Had to get my morning stuff in order before preparing to post.

Mass Effect: Brink

Post will be up before lunch.

Let's B!tch. I feel it's a healthy release for our roleplay annoyances 2.0

A good sheet tells as much information as it has to. I've written short, long, everywhere between. I'm more proud of my longer ones due to them being far more in-depth.

Hence why I hate personality sections in a CS. I got told for being too vague once. Why does it matter? You'll see it in IC.

@NuttsnBolts

I think personality is more important than backstory in CS's.

Do you disagree?
