Video Games: The General Discussion & Community Thread Number Two

Started playing Wolfenstein: ET again, haven't really played it since I was a kid. Still enjoyable as long as you're not being insta-gibbed by enemy grenades, mortars or artillery. That and I also don't really remember too many of the custom fan-made maps so I've been trying to stick to the ones that were released with the game.

Mystery Tag For RPs

So, this thought came about while working on the idea for Soul's Centuries RP. Was looking for a tag for a murder mystery rp and couldn't find one. This would perhaps be a useful addition for those of us who enjoy a good crime/mystery rp. Just a thought, to simplify the difficulty of picking the right tags for a mystery RP. Soul doesn't think it'd be that hard to code, but he also knows nothing about coding- :)

@SoulStealer

Honestly, I'm surprised that this isn't an actual tag already.

@LegendBegins Might be worth noting down a list of potential tag additions somewhere.

Some of the characters are similar to her old high school "buddies" that were inserted in out of pure spite. 2) She has a pet rat named Edward, who Anni throws birthday parties for every year. It certainly deserves them for outliving a rat's age expectancy. 3) Anni is primarily Finno-English. Her father's side were colonists from Cornwall, while her mother's side is from the tiny portion of Finns that had chosen to reside in lower Maine centuries ago. It is from her Finnish side that she draws her name, being named after one of her past relatives. ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔

---- Anni was popular for all the wrong reasons, her high school career being a miserable four years. Although Anni was an average and decent student during her tenor at Ritman High, she was seen primarily as a social outcast by her peers. She desperately felt the need to fit in with others, and was particularly focused on being seen as one of the "cool" or "popular" kids. Unfortunately for Anni, these dreams never worked out in her favor and were often ripped away right before her very eyes. Her attempt at joining Ritman's cheerleading squad flopped. She crashed too many parties she was never invited to. Even her very name had been twisted by her fellow classmates into a less-flattering nickname that would make your grandmother faint. No one wanted anything to do with Anni. She was ostracized by her peers; turned into a punching bag for the student body despite all of her attempts to crawl out of the hole she was in. It's probably why she found solace in being the school's mascot—the only good thing Anni swears had happened in her time at Ritman High. Tears are easier when no one can see them. ---- After graduation, things never changed for the better for Anni. Although she was now free from the hell that was Ritman High, her future school career came to an abrupt end afterwards as well. After being rejected from several colleges of her choice, Anni gave up on future schooling and focused her time on the work force. That said, work life wasn't much better. Seemingly trapped in her own personal hell Delton, Anni worked an odd number of jobs from service to retail. These jobs weren't kind to Anni, in pay but also elsewhere, too. Each passing day Anni felt the soul-crushing effects of life even more than before, becoming moody, distant, and ultimately perhaps one more dumb question from ending it all. Nothing was changing for the better, so why should keep fighting against it? Then the email came. A cruel joke, certainly. "Wearing a smile"? Bah. She thought about ignoring it, refusing to go. But then Anni had an idea. If she went, then she could at least make everyone feel miserable; to lash back out at them. Yeah, that was it. The reunion was going to be a damn good time for Anni, but everyone else was going to have the worst night of their lives—she just needed to figure out how she would fuck shit up. ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔

---- Anni's power is the concept of mimicry. One might say it is similar to shapeshifting, and in fact it is in the same vein, but ultimately there are a few outliers that differentiate the two concepts. Unlike shapeshifting, mimicry only applies to other humans and not animals, plants or other living things. In other words, Anni might be able to transform into the president or some other individual, but she won't be able to replace Mrs. Carlisle's class hamster you accidentally murdered in third grade over spring break. You know who you are, Jason. Although Anni retains her memory when using her powers, she loses everything else, like her body, which adjusts to the parameters of her target's. Weight, height, even things such as amputated limbs or bad knees copies over, so she essentially feels the brunt of everything despite technically being still healthy and young. In other words, it can quickly become tiring for Anni as she has to adjust to the physical changes of whoever she has chosen to mimic at the time. ---- Personally, I want to write Anni coming to terms with her past. Yeah, she's had a shitty life so far, but I want her to realize that it isn't all bad and stop being an moody asshole over it. Of course, this all comes down to other player involvement, given that her sheet entirely relies on the input of others. Essentially, I'm hoping to potentially use this as interaction bait and a way to further develop not just my character but other player characters as well, provided they're willing. As for her power, I imagine that Anni will have issue with it. Technically being in another body is a freaky experience, obviously. It's like waking up with someone else's face as yours, probably with a craving of tacos or something to boot. She'll need quite some time to get used to her powers, especially the draining effects of having her body essentially warped into someone else each time she uses it. ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔

- █████ STRENGTHS & WEAKNESSES █████ + the subject's speed, strength, etc. is copied with each change, which can potentially give Anni an edge in combat or other such things − only affects humans; she can't mimic animals, plants or any other living things + it is close to impossible to tell apart her copy from the subject's appearance, even to the trained eye − the subject's personality or memory isn't copied over upon being mimicked, so it is more difficult to use the power as a disguise or for infiltration ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔
