Otaku Town (Slice of Life RP)

[ahh no wonder there was no reply here darn thing ate my post]

"ooh that's really awesome. all those people sound like they would of been fun to meet." he nods and takes a ship of his drink. "I had made my own working pipboy once. used a 3d printer for the case and slipped in a cell phone where I had made a program to look like the interface. I had even figured out how to include the maps app but have it give the maps in black and white and then change the black to green and the white to black so it looked like the pip boys maps but be of the actual area I was in. that was fun to make." he nods remember that project even if he never did get around to wearing it out. "they still sound like will be fun even if they are much smaller scale. and you seem like a nice person too I do hope to see you around more."

YES, drop on in. I'd love to have more people to play with.

wow I'm more rusty at this than i thought. okay, yes I still think I can do this.
I just gotta slow down and read the posts over a few times before I react to them. and I think if I start to go off on a tangent again instead of trying to fix that idea I'll just cut it off and come up with something else.

So from my characters perspective it's been a normal day, she went to bed had a strange dream and woke up in a cave, with a bunch of other people from town who also don't know how they got there, and one guy who doesn't look like he lives in town, which she'll at some point recognize as the hermit that visits town once in a while. Get told he's a real life member of a Guild she thought was only a town legend. but being as his story would explain all the strange things that have happened to and around her and better then anything else she can think of, She'll go along with it and then when she starts to learn about her powers and tries them out that'll fully convince her.

being as this is modern day, she'll also have access to modern day tech, and sci-fi stories. for additional inspiration and resources.

ooh I see, well that does explain a few more things, and why my last idea wasn't working out at all. alright well Glad we are getting this all hammered out now before the rp starts. so for the character pictures, do you want us to stick to photo's or drawings work too?

original post

well since you brought up that point I'll one last attempt to clarify why I think the idea could still be done respectfully.

It would of been a fully conscious choice, it's just that instead of her having been presenting for a while and being fully used to that before hand. the whole magical cult idea that he was getting presented with in the dream would of been the impetus that gets him over the last of his reservations, and would be ready and wanting to present after that dream and gets what is needed to present properly on the way to the tomb before setting off.

and you can't tell me a "young, beautiful angel. [who] imprints upon them a burning desire to locate her Tomb" to recover an amulet wouldn't seem like the start of a fellowship or a guild that's going to take them away from their current lives to start a new more exciting one. and since he's going to be building a new life anyways perfect time change things in this new life that would of been much more difficult to change in the old one, gender being one of those things. we could have him be dressing up and acting the part on their trip to the tomb, as I'm assuming they aren't just zombie walking all the way there, but rather it's an urge to get there that put's it's self on the top of their list. with the idea that instead of having to deal with the issue of everyone knows him from before, she can make a first impression on most of them. As lets face it aside from her friend, she hasn't met most of the others also coming for the amulet yet right?

there would be plenty of time for her to reflect and acknowledge how she feels and why she chose this. As just assumed that would likely be the first thing that gets brought up after the change, is how she's feeling about the change and that would segway in to them reflecting on her life and how things where and how she wants things to go now. and it would actually make more sense to have that reflection be "on camera" if she has just started presenting as opposed to her already in the swing of things and likely already had talked that out with her friend before the start of the rp. Also Culture shocks don't have to be a bad thing, or something she didn't know about. As hearing, or reading about it is one thing, having it happen to you is another.

any if you still don't think I'd do that kind of character justice then that's fine, you don't have to say any more on why. I'll just play a female from birth character. and we can move on either way.

actually never mind that, I'm done arguing over that point. I'll just play a female from birth character. and we can move on.

Drachenvale: Curse of the Dragon's Amulet

I never said it was against their will, I was trying to say it was something they where very much okay with and even had some reason to want to be on the other side even. just didn't want it badly enough to make it a priority over the other things. and when it happened the are surprised but not upset as it was on their list of things they wanted.

I'm not trying to stomp on anyone toes, or even try to keep in that aspect to my character, just explain where my mind was. I'll respect that you guys have different options on this so I'm going to drop it, and not bring that up again.

my character was born female and remains that way. I'll go with that as your right none of us need/want the drama and this has turned into way more drama then I wanted. So lets just forget I even brought up the idea of me playing a trans char and I won't bring it up again. Sorry for causing a mess.

Drachenvale: Curse of the Dragon's Amulet

okay, I can see that this is also not being taken the way I intended either and last thing I want to do is make people uncomfortable.
I suppose this does highlight how everyone's journey is different, as I wasn't just making this up wholesale. but putting in personal experiences and having the char be where I'm at pre change and then get to explore vicariously what it might be like if I had the means to do such a transformation, as it's one I think I would take if I had the option. I guess I would fit more on that gender fluid side of things as there are certainly times I would love to have the option and there are times it's not such a big deal to me. and just never had to think about it to much until now.

anyways, as I said the last thing I want to do is make people uncomfortable as this is supposed to be fun, so if it's going to cause problems we can just say my char has always been female.

Drachenvale: Curse of the Dragon's Amulet

I understand about wanting to avoid transphobia, and really I wouldn't be going in that direction either that was not my idea at all.

it certainly did react to an inner desire to be one. I did want it to be a surprise to both of them a pleasant one but a surprise none the less. like that one ticket you bought just so happened to have the winning numbers. a big surprise but a good one.

so he may of given it some thought but maybe was to discouraged to think to much on it and hasn't really said much about it to his friend.
so can still that that wtf moment, but also be like ooh I just got a free upgrade. I think he's also going to have some culture shock moments both good and bad. though again he's still going to consider the change a good thing over all.

does that make sense?

<Snipped quote by CaptainManbeard>

Can I be the geomancer instead of you(if you and ktramos are okay with that, I mean)? The idea sounds more interesting than what I had anyway.

@Dragonfly 9

I'm fine with that long as I get a buddy to play with.

I did have two other ideas I thought might also stir the pot a little more, but can be left out if need be.

what if the geomancer and the artifacer knew each other before this all went down? could be another reason they where so quick to start working together. while they haven't worked on anything like this before, it would make more sense that they are the first person she asks.

And What if my character started out as a guy, but somehow when the powers where granted it transformed them into a girl? I think it would give some extra fun problems for them to work though

Drachenvale: Curse of the Dragon's Amulet

I like it sounds like fun, and I like that she'd have someone to more directly share in the inventions that way. She does have the ability to do it all herself if needed, but they do get along well and she's more then happy to let him do the heavy lifting if he wants. so they do end up working together a ton.
